rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ishtarskye - I have been wanting to see Mel Gibson’s "The Passion" since before the movie was even halfway completed just because of all of the controversy surrounding it from its initial production. Not since Martin Scorsese’s "The Last Temptation of Christ"...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ishtarskye - I’m a big fan of old movies, especially if they feature two of my favorites - Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, so it’s no wonder that Road to Bali is on my list of all-time cinema classics. Unfortunately, not too many people find this sort of movie to be...
