An Eye Roll A Minute

Mon, 6 Aug 2007 06:56:49 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dotcomboy - Epic Movie is a comedy that goes from the lampooning of one movie, television show, or pop culture convention to the next at a dizzying pace. It follows four 'orphans' on a journey that I hardly consider epic to overthrow the barely literate...

Sicko: Michael Stays On Message

Sun, 5 Aug 2007 23:26:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dotcomboy - Mr. Moore's methods have been called into question by many. Though Moore friends and foes alike bring up valid criticisms, no one has come within a hundred miles (160 kilometers for you folks in the Old World) of successfully arguing against any of the...

What does Reno have to do with September 11th?

Thu, 2 Aug 2007 07:06:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dotcomboy - The eventual and inevitable lampooning of anything seems to be a normal part of its life cycle through the collective consciousness. Whether on a genre or artist, parody may say a lot of things, but it definitely indicates newness has worn off. Reality...

Helping You Wrap Your Brain Around SEO

Mon, 23 Jul 2007 06:51:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dotcomboy - Search Engine Optimization is a very nebulous topic. Until reading Mr. Kent's book, knowledge I received on the subject had come from many disparate and unconfirmable sources and was highly contradictory. Joe was telling me stuff today that conflicts...

Woody Allen's Ending?

Mon, 6 May 2002 01:53:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dotcomboy - Opening promisingly enough, we come into a discussion among big-time Hollywood studio execs over who to hire as the director of their most recent flick. We are introduced to striking professional lady Ellie (Téa Leoni Jurassic Park III [2001]...

Spider-Man Never Looked So Good

Sun, 5 May 2002 20:09:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dotcomboy - It seems they come out fewer and further in-between, but every once in a while the pop film industry redeems itself. Not being a comic book fan, I found Spider-Man compelling, visually colorful and entertaining. In the end we learn something about...

Jason And The Astronauts

Wed, 1 May 2002 05:19:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dotcomboy - "Thanks, I'd like two tickets please, for Changing Lanes." I had seen a terrible string of movies in the theaters recently and was definitely in the mood for something that would scratch that itch--for once in a long time--to leave the...

Obvious Lessons on Human Nature

Thu, 25 Apr 2002 04:52:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dotcomboy - From director Michel Gondry (La Lettre) and writer Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind) comes a zany movie effectively, if not belaboringly, addressing issues of evolution versus environment. We...

Columbine Meets California

Mon, 22 Apr 2002 04:36:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dotcomboy - Ever since Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold did their terrible deeds in that suburban Colorado high school, capturing the attention of the nation--the world even, many have tried in vain to fathom how such deeds were possible. Unfortunately, even after...

Low Drama

Tue, 16 Apr 2002 04:55:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dotcomboy - Yes, Hollywood has done it again. They thought that by throwing a few big-name stars into the mix we wouldn't notice they rehashed an old script that's been done dozens of times. Somebody got accused of something they presumably didn't do, unlikely...

The Longest Movie

Sun, 6 Jan 2002 05:48:43 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dotcomboy - You know the thing about institutional food and how everyone hates it but eats it because it's there and they're hungry, patiently waiting until they have access to something better? That's what the last ten years of American cinema has been like for...

More of the Same

Sun, 30 Dec 2001 01:05:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dotcomboy - I'm confused. I swear I saw this movie just a couple years ago. I thought it was customary to wait just a little while longer before filming a remake. I know you've seen this movie before too! Don't you remember? It had Laurence Fishburne and Keanu...
