In another way, I'm just grateful to be able to write the first such review. The film is that awkward gem of cinema, The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez, championed... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~254573907588 Thu, 14 Sep 2006 23:37:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_254573907588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_249114562180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - I mean, I wrote a review of Arsenic and Old Lace when I first joined Epinions, but I was still timid and uncertain of how much could be said. The end result was that the review, though good and generally rated as 'very helpful,' was shamefully... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~249114562180 Sat, 19 Aug 2006 01:14:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_249114562180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_248127852164?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - This is a paen of praise to a functional dysfunctional (does that make any sense? no matter it will before the end of this review) family in New York City. The antihero of this epic is self-proclaimed "apathist" Alfred Chamberlain, played to absolute... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~248127852164 Mon, 14 Aug 2006 01:01:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_248127852164?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_247151169156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - Let's get something understood going in; I'm not the greatest of Marx Brothers fans. I'm old enough to actually remember when there were FIVE Marx brothers - which would be Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Zeppo and Gummo. Despite the "o" endings to their names,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~247151169156 Wed, 9 Aug 2006 00:12:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_247151169156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_246181236356?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - I'm talking, of course, about the copyright that would have otherwise kept this jewel in the closet as "obsolete." I had forgotten all about this movie until I saw it offered at a ridiculously low price, and I never pass up ridiculously low prices -... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~246181236356 Fri, 4 Aug 2006 00:51:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_246181236356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_244957613700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - I'm absolutely dumbfounded to see that there isn't a single review of Sea Chase in all epinions! And, this a John Wayne movie at that! Actually, there is a wealth of reason to review this film, besides its just being good entertainment. For... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~244957613700 Fri, 28 Jul 2006 22:41:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_244957613700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_244785974916?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - My mind and my perceptions work in weird and devious ways I have yet to understand. Sometimes I watch a movie that I don't want to review because I like it too well and don't want to do it an injustice. Then, there are those movies that simply demand... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~244785974916 Fri, 28 Jul 2006 00:17:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_244785974916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_244380044932?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - I'm not really sure what I'm thinking about, but then, that's nothing new when you are 75 years old and, besides that, Jack Nicholson isn't sure what he's thinking about, either. Got you confused? Well, don't be confused over whether this 2001 Sean... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~244380044932 Wed, 26 Jul 2006 00:35:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_244380044932?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_240817376900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - Perhaps even more to the point might be, just what the heck am I doing here after so long an silence, and to review a film without leading men or leading women? To tell the truth, I'm writing in a state of stunned disbelief. If you're confused by now,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~240817376900 Fri, 7 Jul 2006 21:58:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_240817376900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_175913406084?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - I'm astounded that only four other epinioneers wrote opinions on this film. I choose to believe that they were the only ones who were able to overcome their awe enough to try and share appreciation of this film with others. I admit it, I'm awed. I am... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~175913406084 Tue, 8 Mar 2005 04:45:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_175913406084?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_174271729284?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - I came to this movie expecting nothing, and that is pretty nearly what I got - nothing. Now, before you take the bit in your teeth and assume that I didn't like this movie, I actually did like it. Not in the same manner as I liked The Last... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~174271729284 Tue, 22 Feb 2005 00:49:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_174271729284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_170111241860?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - OK, so the critics didn't exactly love this movie. That's why they're called "critics." Still, as far as I'm concerned, what is there in this movie that's not to like? There is a cast of characters that will bring smiles of joy to virtually every kid... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~170111241860 Tue, 18 Jan 2005 04:47:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_170111241860?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_164813115012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - If you're looking for an astute and scholarly appraisal of the social significance of Fast Times at Ridgemont High please look for another review. This isn't it. As those of you who know me can attest, I don't write intellectual reviews -... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~164813115012 Fri, 10 Dec 2004 02:10:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_164813115012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_90072714884?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - Did you know that one man, who never made the newspapers, never won a war, and never ruled a Country could attract the love of thousands and effect the lives of people he never met? It's true, and that man is Charles Chipping, otherwise known... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~90072714884 Sat, 15 Feb 2003 06:41:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_90072714884?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_89930632836?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - Thank God for those people who believe in the potential of old movies upgraded to DVD! This particular one is, of course, The Ghost Breakers. Produced and distributed by Paramount Studios, this was the second pairing of Bob Hope and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~89930632836 Thu, 13 Feb 2003 17:25:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_89930632836?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_89652825732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - When Flying Tigers first came out, every kid in the neighborhood was yelling the AVG call to action, "Tails Up!" The AVG, for the historically uninformed, was the American Volunteer Group in China. The men who made up this group were, for the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~89652825732 Tue, 11 Feb 2003 01:46:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_89652825732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_89392451204?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - I hate being narrow minded (unless I can get away with it), but Khartoum is a virtual engraved invitation to narrow-mindedness. The basic story is typically British colonial history. Khartoum, for those who attended school in the 60's or later... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~89392451204 Sat, 8 Feb 2003 07:23:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_89392451204?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_89075846788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - Well, shades of Leopold and Loeb, what have we here? Don't worry, I'm not claiming to be old enough to have followed the L&L trial, but I did watch Hitchcock's Rope, so that ought to count for something. I was even going to compare one of the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~89075846788 Wed, 5 Feb 2003 03:50:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_89075846788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_88970399364?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - The second time Thunderheart hit the screen it wasn't called Thunderheart, and was a documentary rather than a fictionalized version of a real happening. The original documentary release, also by Director Michael Apted, was the critically... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~88970399364 Tue, 4 Feb 2003 02:00:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_88970399364?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_88758783620?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - I'm feeling frustrated because the original Ocean's Eleven and the re-make are not listed separately. It wouldn't have been difficult to do, just by using the numeral 11 (as first intended) for the original, and spelling it out for the re-make... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~88758783620 Sat, 1 Feb 2003 23:15:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_88758783620?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_88686300804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - High Crimes brings Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman together again, working as well as they did in 1997's thriller, Kiss The Girls. In this outing Judd plays superwoman lawyer Claire Kubik, who alternates her time between trying cases in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~88686300804 Fri, 31 Jan 2003 20:15:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_88686300804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_88635641476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - This was a horrible disappointment to me. It's a perfect one to review, however, since I can review it for itself and in comparison to the first one, and get the same results both ways! I still can't get over the fact that Chris Tucker came within a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~88635641476 Fri, 31 Jan 2003 03:00:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_88635641476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_88572137092?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - It took me a long time (is a month a long time?) to decide whether this should be a hatchet job or an entertainment value review. I finally decided that, since it entertained me in spite of its shortcomings, it would be the latter. So, sit back and let... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~88572137092 Thu, 30 Jan 2003 02:15:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_88572137092?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_88452337284?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - Seeing that there has been only one prior review of this BBC comedy series, it is obvious that you haven't seen it and probably haven't even heard of it. That is nothing short of criminal! You've probably seen and enjoyed the sharp wit and ridiculous... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~88452337284 Wed, 29 Jan 2003 00:33:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_88452337284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_88320282244?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - No, William Castle isn't turning over in his grave over this one. As a matter of fact, given his normal approach to horror movies, he would probably enjoy this remake immensely! That is a wonder, considering the handicaps under which this movie was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~88320282244 Mon, 27 Jan 2003 21:35:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_88320282244?linkin_id=8003929
