Epson Stylus Photo R320 InkJet Printer: The 320 is a super picture printer

Thu, 20 Oct 2005 13:40:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - I bought one of these and was pleasantly rewarded with high quality picture with a camera that wasn't up to date. So, needless the say I'm impressed. The resolution is great. For quality picture printing this one can't be beat. It is fast, reliable...

Ultimate in terror

Tue, 18 Oct 2005 18:16:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - When I first saw this movie, I was just beginning my teens. I wasn't prepared for it, but neither were many others. I had heard of Hitchcock from his TV series, and knew he was quite the director. So I like many, was anxious to see, Psycho. What I...

White Faces in the West

Sun, 16 Oct 2005 04:50:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - Maureen O'Hara is an English lady, determined to introduce the white face to the west. James Stewart sets out to help her although it goes against his nature to have anything to do with a bull like this. Brian Keith gives a memorable performace as a...

Playing poker is dangerous

Sun, 16 Oct 2005 04:45:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - They were playing 5 Card Stud, and suddenly someone's missing. Dead! A Agatha Christy kind of murder and mayhem western. Several men sit down to play poker, some never come back. Someone's killing them, one by one, and no one has any idea who the...

I'm takin' him in!

Sun, 16 Oct 2005 04:35:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - Truly well acted, well scripted, western, with a tension and emotion filled moments. I think this might have been Kirk Douglas' best movie. When a man's Indian wife is killed, by the son of his best friend, Kirk has to chose his vengence. The...

Rooster and the lady

Sun, 16 Oct 2005 04:24:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - Rooster Cogburn, played by Wayne, is the last of the series of True Grit. This time the old rooster, Wayne, is stuck with a bible toting woman, and a young indian boy, along with fighting bad guys all the way. Wayne gives a rip-roaring portrayal of a...

A little after High Noon

Sun, 16 Oct 2005 04:14:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - 3:10 to Yuma is one well acted western with Van Heflin the unlikely hero, and Glen Ford of all people playing a bad guy. I have to admit, I was upset to see Ford play the villian. As dreamy as he is, how can anyone think he's all bad. But, he played...

Return of the Maverick

Sun, 16 Oct 2005 04:01:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - Put three talented actors together, stir with a witty script, and add a few unexpected twists and you've got the western that everyone wants to see. I was thrilled to see the "old" TV Maverick return in this western farce, about who can out wit the...

Growing up Cowboys

Sun, 16 Oct 2005 03:46:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - As a John Wayne fan, I have to rate this one right up there with the Searchers. But if you think for one minute this is ordinary, think again. This is a family movie about young boys, growing up, and John Wayne knows just how to teach 'em. Credit...

Seeing Green

Sun, 16 Oct 2005 03:31:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - I actually liked this story, and it's acting. Green Card centers on two people who have equal but very different needs. They didn't plan on falling in love, and it certainly wasn't convenient, but who would have thought it. I like it when the guy...

Angelic Baseball

Sun, 16 Oct 2005 03:11:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - Not since Boys Town has there been such a sweet, tear-jerking kind of movie, where hope and reality blend. If you like good, clean, fun, with a great cast, and an interesting look at baseball, you've got to see Angels in the Outfield. I watched...

Angel and the Badman

Mon, 26 Apr 2004 22:08:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - First of all, the lovely Gail Russell looks like a angel in this one, so it's no wonder our hero, big Quirt Evans, (John Wayne) falls for her, and I mean falls for her. Now I love Wayne in almost anything, but going ga-ga over a woman seems a little far...

The Philadelphia Story

Mon, 26 Apr 2004 21:40:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - Three award winning talents come together to make a timeless classic out of George Cukor's "Philadelphia Story". Rich and sassy as ever, Kathryn Hepburn delights us with her snobbery, Grant enchants us with his suave charms, and Stewart is the secret...

The Enemy Below

Mon, 26 Apr 2004 21:17:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - World War II flick in which two captains try to out maneuver one another. Like a chess game Mitchum and Jurgens try to outwit one another. Pitting two very intelligent and experienced enemies against one another, only in the end to find that is their...

Put up or be shut up!

Sat, 5 Apr 2003 04:38:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - Despite what some say, I thought Sharon Stone gave a good performance in this one. She was sexy, determined, and vengeful. Right up her ally. And please, no one can deny the fact that Gene Hackman can act, good guy or bad, he's always great.

I...

A nun's story

Sat, 5 Apr 2003 04:12:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - I've seen this movie so many times, and every time I have to admit I enjoy it. Why? Well, any time you put Clint Eastwood and a gal like Shirley MacLaine together, you've got some movie. This is perhaps Clint's best leading lady

to date. She's...

Match making western style

Sat, 5 Apr 2003 03:54:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - Westward the Women is astoundingly realistic with it's many

characterizations. Well acted, well directed. This movie should have gotten more attention. Perhaps someday someone will come along and realize exactly what the writer was trying to say!...

A tear jerking romance fairytale

Sat, 5 Apr 2003 03:33:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - This is the original tear jerker of a love story that later inspired such movies as Sleepless in Seattle. One might think this is a little too soapy for this day and age, but think again, this is one of the classics of romance, and must be acknowledged...

Love is truly eternal!

Fri, 7 Sep 2001 13:38:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - Ghost brings us Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze in a modern story of love lasting forever! This movie

is a beautiful tale of two people who love each other, and a love so pure it has no boundaries. Sam and

Molly are in love, and remodeling an...

More like dueling hearts

Tue, 10 Jul 2001 16:28:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - With a cast as great as this one had, and a famous producer, it couldn't fail, but it didn't draw like

was expected either. It has since earned the right to join the classics. Gregory Peck, Jennifer Jones, Joseph Cotten, Lionel Barrymore, and...

One of the earlier Wayne classic

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 03:49:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - Put two fine actors together that have absolutely nothing in common and you'll get a great movie every time. Montgomery Clift and John Wayne could be compared to John Wayne and Jeffrey Hunter in the Searchers.

Also like the...

One of Wayne's best accomplishments

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 03:34:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - This was John Wayne's personal baby, and a western film classic. It's an all star cast with Laurence Harvey as William B. Travis, Richard Widmark as Jim Bowie, and Richard Boone as Sam Houston, and naturally, John Wayne as Davy Crockett.

Another Eastwood Classic

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 03:08:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - Eastwood, for all purposes seemed retired from movie making till "Pale Rider" after nine long years he returns. He not only starred in this one, he directed it.

An unusual story of a town full of fearful gold miners, and the mean...

Sensational comedy that tickles your funnybone

Sat, 22 Jan 2000 20:08:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hestand - "Baby Boom" is a sensational 1987 comedy that will have your sides hurting as you watch the "together, '90's kind of woman' take on her dead cousins baby. What does a Manhattan advertising agent do with a little bundle of joy?
