A Meeting with the Devil: Penetrating the Fog of War

Tue, 10 Feb 2004 21:29:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author greenboat - When you go to a horror film, you sit down, get the wind scared out of you, and then go back to reality. But the Fog of War, the latest film from Errol Morris, is a documentary. You sit down and get the wind scared of you, but you can’t go back...

Life is... a BARBER POLE?

Thu, 28 Feb 2002 01:32:14 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author greenboat - Personal Rant:

All of you bitter scrunched nose, bent brow, saggy-frowned, sniveling, smirking, sneering post-modern pseudo-intellects with scholarly allusions bulging in your pants loved this movie. I know you did. I can hear you...

A Letter to the Dean

Mon, 25 Feb 2002 23:29:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author greenboat - Dean Levine,

I am a discontented undergraduate in search of true education, where my own thinking and reading and discussions outside the classroom will complement the learning inside the classroom—and that kind of active education, I am...

Lost in Taiko

Fri, 11 Jan 2002 07:14:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author greenboat - You never know what you’ll find at the library. I was in the mood for some free entertainment one Tuesday afternoon and decided to visit. When I walked in, there were a bunch of CDs displayed on a rack. In the middle of the rack, there was a black CD...

A Stroll through the Park

Wed, 9 Jan 2002 16:29:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author greenboat - Gosford Park is billed as a highbrow murder mystery. That’s why I went to see it. As it turns out, the film plays more like a Jane Austen novel.

“Oh, come off it!” my Uncle said, “These days everything and a tomato are compared to a...

Gimmick Flick

Sun, 28 Oct 2001 06:51:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author greenboat - K-PAX is a gimmick flick. The film floats on the audience’s suspense of whether Kevin Spacey’s character, Prot (pronounced Proat, as in “oat”), is an extra-terrestrial or nut. So, IS Prot an alien? Of course, I’m not telling.

Immortal Words

Fri, 10 Aug 2001 21:25:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author greenboat - Ladies, cut out the plastic surgery. Men, put the mid-life crisis on ice. There exists, in the town of Treegap, USA, a Fountain of Youth. I can even tell you exactly how to find it --just go to the library and open Natalie Babbitt's Tuck...

Deeds Succeeds

Fri, 27 Jul 2001 17:46:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author greenboat - Before you click to a vogue epinion on How to Handle Your Palm Pilot or Being a Woman in the 21st Century (Yes, Stan, I'm talking to you), let me assure you --Mr. Deeds Goes to Town is not a silent film about a happy go-lucky...

Rotten Fish!

Wed, 4 Jul 2001 22:40:49 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author greenboat - The story grabs you. A mysterious playboy, Gabriel Shear (John Travolta), uses sex and money to lure the world's best hacker, Stanley Jobson (Hugh Jackman), to crack an "unbreakable" code and infiltrate a 9.6 billion dollar bank account. As the movie...

Sleep soundly, Wake gently

Fri, 22 Jun 2001 20:18:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author greenboat - Most people hate their alarm clock. It could be the most elegant, expensive alarm clock ever, but as soon as it errrrrrrr--errrrrrr--errrrrrrs in the morning, you want to squash it dead.

Not so with the Sony Dream Machine.

There's a Zoo on the Mountain

Thu, 21 Jun 2001 01:36:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author greenboat - You've seen a zoo before. You know what a tiger looks like. But have you seen a zoo on a mountain? That's what makes the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo a landmark to visit next time you're in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

I went to the Zoo on a hot,...

This Llama Can't Dance

Tue, 29 May 2001 01:36:33 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author greenboat - This, I guarantee: next time you're in Disney World, walking down main street and shaking fuzzy characters' hands, you're not going to run into Emperor Kuzco, or Pancha, or Kronk. You won't see a "New Groove" musical on Broadway or a follow up cartoon...

Comforting Fairy Tale Mash

Tue, 22 May 2001 01:07:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author greenboat - Imagine a game show called, "Who's Link is the Price Millionaire?" Doesn't make a lot of sense, but it would still be entertaining. In a similar way, "Shrek" dumps every fairy tale from the sacred fairy tale book into a blender with some dirty rocks,...

Iomega Zip USB Drive: The Drive of a Lifetime.

Thu, 17 May 2001 00:48:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author greenboat - It looks like a sports car. Low to the ground, small, fast, and sleek. Like a Porsche, or a Corvette. When you see it, you want one. You'd get in and drive the thing if you could.

But you're a smart shopper. You want more...
