JOHN WOO'S FACE/OFF

Tue, 12 Feb 2002 18:40:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author darrio - Face/Off is not like other US action movies. Its directed by John Woo, my favourite action thriller director from Hong Kong. I like John Woo because he has directed two of the best movies I have ever seen: Hard Boiled and The...

Schwarzenegger VS Scumbag

Mon, 11 Feb 2002 18:51:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author darrio - You probably have noticed critics have been panning Collateral Damage from the word go and here on epinions, but to be honest its not that bad. I actually enjoyed it for what it is - an Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie. Its nothing more than...

Gunman Chronicles for Windows: The Planet of the Dinosaurs. And other assorted things (FPS W/O)

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author darrio - Gunman first started out as a mod made by fans of Half Life. And guess what happened? a company called Rewolf thought it was so good that they slipped the mod makers a big check, went on to create more levels and released it as a full...

Leave No Man Behind

Sat, 26 Jan 2002 19:49:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author darrio - For those who have not seen Black Hawk Down yet, I can assure you this is not a Pearl Harbor II. In fact, I'll think I'll just wipe Pearl Harbor from my memory. Some critics have said Black Hawk Down is another Jerry Bruckheimer (he produced) shoot-em-up...

K.O.D !!!

Fri, 25 Jan 2002 20:28:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author darrio - Luc Besson is like a French version of John Woo, a very good action director. In Kiss of the Dragon, he produces and it shows. KOD hops from one incredible action sequence to another with little time to breathe. This is a popcorn movie if there ever was...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author darrio - I was never really a big fan of the Highlander films, and now this one has put me off them completely.

Mad Mad Max

Mon, 21 Jan 2002 18:32:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author darrio - This third person shooter had been in development for a long time, slipping in and out of release dates. Finally it was released to the public during summer last year. Remedy were the folks behind it and it was their debut title. And a damn good one...

Ye Old Faithful Ghost Tale

Sun, 13 Jan 2002 14:32:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author darrio - I admit this was the first time I'd seen Poltergeist. I know, its criminal and I bow my head in shame.

I'll begin with the plot. Life is good for the Freeling family. They live in a nice house in a friendly suburban neighborhood. But...

Carrier, OK Horror Fest

Sun, 13 Jan 2002 09:11:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author darrio - Carrier was released a few years ago, just before Resident Evil: Code Veronica came out. Carrier isn't really a "copy" of the RE games because it has a bit of everything from different games. But it looks nearly the same and has the same problems. I...

Phantoms

Wed, 9 Jan 2002 16:16:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author darrio - Phantoms was a small little film in cinemas a few years ago and people took no notice of it. It was released on video soon after and watched by a few people. Now I've seen it, I understand why there was no hype.

The story is this. Jennifer...

Welcome To Sin City

Mon, 7 Jan 2002 18:08:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author darrio - If you're into games, you'll know what Grand Theft Auto 3 is all about. But this time it's in 3D and the anticipation has paid off in full. The original 2D game caused tabloids to go crazy because you could drive about, run people over, kill cops, steal...

Wed, 2 Jan 2002 15:46:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author darrio - In Silent Hill 2 you take control of James Sunderland, an average guy - a bit like the hero of Silent Hill on Playstation. The game opens with you looking over a foggy lake at the town of Silent Hill. You have nothing apart from a photo of your wife...

I Cant See What's Eating Me!

Mon, 31 Dec 2001 10:29:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author darrio - This film takes itself very seriously. It tries to deal with a lot of issues while entertaining us at the same time. I mean we’ve got drug addiction, sexism, religion, conscience calls and we’re suppose to care about all that while people are getting...
