I'd be willing to pass it off as the heavily-loaded pizza and buffalo wings I ate last night except for the fact that I decided to watch the 1979 classic horror film Alien... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~195064729220 Fri, 2 Sep 2005 16:43:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_195064729220?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_161492864644?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - The line I'm using for the title of this review is, of course, uttered by Leslie Nielsen in Wrongfully Accused, a marvelous spoof of The Fugitive series and movie. It's strange how people will have such strong reactions to a movie such as... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~161492864644 Fri, 12 Nov 2004 20:22:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_161492864644?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_160897011332?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - Once in a while a film has come along that contains an excellent portrayal, I'm told, of how I would act in certain situations. If I had ever joined the Secret Service and been assigned to save the world from a deadly threat, I'd be very similar to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~160897011332 Sun, 7 Nov 2004 20:10:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_160897011332?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_159284563588?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - Theater-going takes a great deal of preparation for me; I need the coat with the hidden snack pockets on, and need to make sure that I don't make last year's mistake and walk past a dog on a leash outside the theater with a ham sandwich in my pocket... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~159284563588 Sat, 23 Oct 2004 05:50:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_159284563588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_158378331780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - There are some people who say I have a lot in common with Darren McGavin's character Carl Kolchak in the 1974-1975 television series Kolchak: The Night Stalker. They either mean that I'm bold, unafraid to do what's necessary to get at the truth of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~158378331780 Fri, 15 Oct 2004 23:06:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_158378331780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_155180764804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - Perhaps I should start with some sort of disclaimer here: "It wasn't me, I wasn't there, and if I was, I was sleeping." No, that's not it. Oh never mind; disclaimers are difficult to come by these days. I merely meant a disclaimer is needed in the event... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~155180764804 Sat, 25 Sep 2004 17:44:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_155180764804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_155601112708?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - Note: 9/18/04: This was one of the first reviews I wrote a little over two years ago. Looking back at it in a fit of unexpected nostalgia, I felt I had been overly harsh on a film that is, essentially, a piece of low-budget fun. So, I've... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~155601112708 Sat, 18 Sep 2004 17:59:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_155601112708?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154659425924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - I'm an amateur photographer of sorts; and in past years have been somewhat successful in capturing photos of rare subject matter and sufficient enough quality to actually sell a few. Well, except for my most famous, or rather, infamous print, Fly on a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154659425924 Wed, 8 Sep 2004 01:54:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154659425924?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_152999726724?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - Well here we are again; three reviews in one night. I am probably going to fry a brain cell if I keep up this pace. I don't have many left; I need to learn how to be more sparing. Movies and/or movie franchises that have become cult classics can be... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~152999726724 Tue, 24 Aug 2004 02:05:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_152999726724?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_152947953284?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - I have to admit, when I like something, I follow its progression quite closely. This can lead to problems, such as when I was still single and followed that young coed onto the bus and ended up at the convent, but those days are behind me now. Besides,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~152947953284 Tue, 24 Aug 2004 00:08:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_152947953284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_152896114308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - My brain is kind of fuzzy. I sat up late watching all three Crow movies, and plan to review each for comparison. My wife wondered about the black and white face paint I wore during this movie blitz. She doesn't understand that when I get into a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~152896114308 Mon, 23 Aug 2004 21:32:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_152896114308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_152502570628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - I broke the full-length mirror on my bedroom door last night. The superstition of "seven years of bad luck" doesn't faze me, as we have replacements for everything in our home, and it took very little time to install a new one. It was late at night,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~152502570628 Fri, 20 Aug 2004 14:00:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_152502570628?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_150742863492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - Confession time: B-movies; I love 'em... I particularly love monster movies, and have a particular fondness for B-movie monsters, mostly because separating the gems from the dreck can be so much fun. I also love dragons; the raw power, the myths and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~150742863492 Sat, 7 Aug 2004 14:30:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_150742863492?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_149947977348?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - I've had a problem recently. After seeing the movie Icebreaker , my wife keeps comparing me to the character "Beck", a rather simpleminded, pop-eyed park ranger type, who wards off an enemy terrorist by throwing a Pez candy dispenser at him... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~149947977348 Sun, 1 Aug 2004 07:32:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_149947977348?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_149713030788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - I'm an oddball; I admit this freely. I also like oddball material, be it music, movies, books, or games that are a little beyond the norm. Hence, I just had to pop Big Mutha Truckers into my Playstation 2 and give it a whirl. My wife looks at... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~149713030788 Fri, 30 Jul 2004 02:58:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_149713030788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_147291016836?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - My wife isn't sure she wants to go camping with me anymore. It's one of my great summer pleasures, along with playing pranks on people who share my campsite in the middle of the night with my absolutely flawless imitation of the maniacal whooping giggle... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~147291016836 Sun, 11 Jul 2004 16:29:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_147291016836?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_146430004868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - My wife tends to leave me alone when I'm reading; she figures if I'm sitting still with a book in my hand, I'm not going to get into trouble. Ok, there have been exceptions, such as my taking that Spiderman graphic novel to our wedding, but those are few... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~146430004868 Mon, 5 Jul 2004 17:05:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_146430004868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_137913273988?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - Went to the theater last night with my wife, best friend, and best friend's Significant Other. Theater-going is for me, a monumentous occasion in itself, because the last time I went, an elderly woman asked me to hold her seat, and after a few... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~137913273988 Sun, 25 Apr 2004 16:04:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_137913273988?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_136989937284?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - What follows is a re-write and partial re-think of the very first review I wrote at Epinions. In an unexplainable fit of nostalgia (possibly brought on by the huge pizza and large amount of Arctic Apple Green Kool-Aid consumed that night) I was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~136989937284 Fri, 16 Apr 2004 14:32:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_136989937284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_132986670724?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - I remember my college days: The bottle rockets in the dorm halls, the belching contests, the "Smash a Car for Charity" rally, and, of course, the students and their activities. It was a good time, mostly, in a little backwater school, and nothing...I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~132986670724 Fri, 12 Mar 2004 05:00:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_132986670724?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_132960390788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - A neighbor next door to Casa Kidden doesn't like snoring. OK, to each their own, right? Said neighbor told my wife that she thought she was being attacked by monsters during the night. Said neighbor also began accosting me outside my home and offering... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~132960390788 Fri, 12 Mar 2004 02:33:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_132960390788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_131961818756?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - If the time comes that I ever decide what I want to be when I grow up, (I'll be forty in five months, so I suppose I should start thinking about it, don't you suppose?)I think I'd like to be sidekick to Robert B. Parker's Spenser.

They just couldn't seem to grasp the concept that my running around the neighborhood at 2 a.m. destroying every snowman within a 5-block radius of my home was purely... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~128989564548 Sat, 7 Feb 2004 18:06:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_128989564548?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_128281054852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - My wife came into the bathroom the other day and found me upon the Porcelain Seat of Contemplation and Reflection with a Portugese-English dictionary. This didn't phase her; she's long been accustomed to my eccentricities. She did want to know, however,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~128281054852 Sun, 1 Feb 2004 15:16:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_128281054852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_125497740932?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hugh_u_kidden - Tolerant as she is, my wife balked at the idea of my bringing a dozen flashlights to bed.
