It is more of a character study like other movies that I love that show the humor in human nature (A Mighty Wind and the other Christopher Guest troupe movies,and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442234474116 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 14:49:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442234474116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441896373892?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author janies - THE STORY: This story contains three main components. It gives us a love story without a particularly fresh or unusual approach and with a predictable outcome. The spark between the lovers just isn't there. Another story within this story is that of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441896373892 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 19:16:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441896373892?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441876188804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author janies - OVERALL REACTION TO THE MOVIE AND ITS PLOT: I didn't enjoy this movie. My enjoyment of anything I do for entertainment depends on whether it makes me feel good or feel bad. This one did the latter. I am an "adult child of an alcoholic." Because of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441876188804 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:29:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441876188804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441765105284?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author janies - THE PLOT: The story is a spoof on the 1960's folk music scene. Irving Steinbloom, a well-known folk-music promoter, has died. His son, Johnathan plans to organize a tribute to him by bringing together three of the main groups he promoted during... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441765105284 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 18:26:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441765105284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441633050244?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author janies - THE PLOT: The plot was very simple and it didn't really go anywhere. The purpose of the movie doesn't really depend on much of a plot. In a nutshell, there's a funeral planned at a home outside London. The funeral gives a backdrop and a context for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441633050244 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:43:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441633050244?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441468292740?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author janies - To begin with, let me admit that I am not familiar with ABBA's music so I couldn't really evaluate how well the movie presented that. I also can't compare and contrast the movie to its Broadway production, never having seen that. All I am left with is my... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441468292740 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 11:12:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441468292740?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441362976388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author janies - This is one I own and repeat. To me, it is Eddie Murphy's funniest film. To mention anything at all about the fact that the cast was almost all black may raise eyebrows of the political correctness police, but I have to bring it up. Often, though I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441362976388 Sat, 16 Aug 2008 12:41:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441362976388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441238654596?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author janies - Mike Gambril (Warren Beatty), a retired football star, and Terry McKay (Annette Bening), a sophisticated and beautiful non-celebrity, are on a plane going first class from Los Angeles to Sydney, Australia. Mike and Terry are both engaged. When Mike... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441238654596 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 12:58:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441238654596?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441148018308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author janies - Jeff Bridges masterfully portrays Jeffrey Lebowski, more commonly referred to as The Dude, Your Dudeness, El Duderino. He's an aging longhaired, sloppy hippie type (even makes trips to the grocery store in his bathrobe) with no means of gainful... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441148018308 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 17:37:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441148018308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441035296388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author janies - I usually judge movies by whether (1) I want to own them and (2) I want to watch them again. This one falls into the category of (1) no and (2) probably not. I hope there's a firestorm of disagreement with me on my reasons why I didn't love this... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441035296388 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 19:06:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441035296388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441022516868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author janies - It's hard for me to decide whether I liked the music best or the characters! The music was ALL good in my opinion but none of it really wowed me as much as the song that Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis sang together, Crusin'. It is one of those that I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441022516868 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 17:07:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441022516868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_440900685444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author janies - Gene Wilder, Young Frankenstein, begins the movie as a dedicated traditional scientist who vehemently denounces any merit to his grandfather's work in recreating life in dead tissue. Wilder is masterful in this one. His character has innocence,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~440900685444 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:40:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_440900685444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_440895442564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author janies - This movie falls into the category that my husband and I have dubbed as "feel good, feel safe" movies. These are the ones that represent a time in American history when it was cool to be clean; when looking good included, by definition, looking healthy;... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~440895442564 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 17:54:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_440895442564?linkin_id=8003929
