Now, before you all tear my head off, let me clarify. He's an awful director, just plain sucks. His inept inaccuracy to direct even the simplest of scenes is baffling. Sure, there are worse directors out... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~427216703108 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 14:20:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_427216703108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_420076162692?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - I came into this film with mixed feelings from the get-go. I've never been a huge Will Smith fan, director Francis Lawrence's debut feature Constantine was a flimsy, misguided comic book adaptation riddled with flaws, so needless to say my... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~420076162692 Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:28:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_420076162692?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_419593883268?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - The apocalyptic zombie/viral infection genre has seen some worthy entries over the years. George Romero's Dead series has been the pinnacle, and Danny Boyle recently took it in a new direction with 28 Days Later and it's equally competent sequel... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~419593883268 Sun, 24 Feb 2008 02:20:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_419593883268?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_415064362628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - It all started with a vague, title-less trailer before Transformers, and the internet world went crazy. Endless speculation, fake web sites, viral clues, and non-stop chatter on message boards every where, JJ Abrams had created a monster far more intense... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~415064362628 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 20:22:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_415064362628?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_412663123588?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - When Predator 2 was released back in 1990, fanboys all over the world screeched in delight when the skull of a slain alien from the popular series appeared in the background during the final scene. The mere concept of these two entities existing in the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412663123588 Sun, 30 Dec 2007 23:50:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412663123588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_370118987396?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - On average, and bare in mind this is a statistical fact, Hollywood releases about 10 actually good movies a year. Rarely do these movies get released during the summer, which is primarily saved for ultra-budget, special effects laden extravaganzas that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~370118987396 Fri, 1 Jun 2007 19:00:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_370118987396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_366906347140?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - In 2002 Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later hit the horror genre like a shotgun blast to the face. It was raw, terrifying, and actually forced you to wonder "Could this happen?" After it's initial success, it was only a matter of time for us to find out... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~366906347140 Fri, 25 May 2007 16:46:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_366906347140?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_366710787716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - I'm a fan of the first Pirate's Of The Caribbean. It was fun, had rowsing action, and some completely original ideas and special effects, everything you'd desire from a summer blockbuster. And of course, Johnny Depp's priceless Keith Richard's impression... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~366710787716 Fri, 25 May 2007 07:01:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_366710787716?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_274463690372?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - I just got back from seeing Borat: Cultural Learnings of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, and my face is still red, my chest is still in pain, and I'm still trying to catch my breath. It's official (at least with me and a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~274463690372 Fri, 3 Nov 2006 18:31:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_274463690372?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_272646704772?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - If you read my previous review, I love Joss Whedon's Firefly, it truly stands out as a monumentally creative addition to the sci-fi genre, and I was particularly upset when Fox axed the show midway through it's first season. But, Whedon managed to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~272646704772 Mon, 30 Oct 2006 18:38:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_272646704772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_271750368900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - I'm not the biggest sci-fi fan. I can't sit through an entire episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation even though I do appreciate it and everything it represents. Though I love quite a few sci-fi movies, the TV shows don't usually grab me as... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~271750368900 Sat, 28 Oct 2006 16:17:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_271750368900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_271469612676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - Everyone knows the story of The Machinist, how Christian Bale shriveled down to 120 pounds for this role then beefed up another 100 pounds to play Batman. Quite a feat, if you ask me, and his dedication to his craft is just as apparent in this... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~271469612676 Fri, 27 Oct 2006 22:49:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_271469612676?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_271420984964?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - For those of you who are aware of director Uwe Boll's latest video game adaptations, this little film might be a nice treat for you. By that, I of course mean here's another one of his hackneyed attempts at filmmaking that you and your friends can laugh... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~271420984964 Fri, 27 Oct 2006 20:03:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_271420984964?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_269751783044?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - This is a review of Postal 2: Share the Pain for Macintosh It's kind of hard to imagine how a game like Postal 2 got to be such a success. Facing horrid reviews and coming from a small company like Running With Scissors, it's a bit of a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~269751783044 Mon, 23 Oct 2006 20:51:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_269751783044?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_268543168132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - I like to think of myself as sort of an intellectual (probably not true). I enjoy literature, art, and high class wine and cheese parties. But there's still that little adolescent boy inside me who just can't get enough of watching idiots inflict pain... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~268543168132 Fri, 20 Oct 2006 21:48:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_268543168132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_268527439492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - My friend told me about this movie back when it was mere speculation and rumors. He said, quote, "It's a movie called Snakes on a Plane, about snakes on a plane, and it stars Samuel L. Jackson." I was fairly drunk at the time, but even if I had been... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~268527439492 Fri, 20 Oct 2006 20:43:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_268527439492?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_268050665092?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - I was first introduced to this film years ago during a screenwriting class I was taking to fulfill some high school graduation requirements. Our teacher regularly asked in the beginning of each class who had seen an interested film that week. The lad... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~268050665092 Thu, 19 Oct 2006 15:47:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_268050665092?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_268031987332?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - I love Takashi Miike. In my humble opinion, he's one of the greatest filmmakers out there at the moment. Not only does he pump out more than five movies a year, but four of them are almost always award worthy. He's smart, competent, and most of all,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~268031987332 Thu, 19 Oct 2006 14:33:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_268031987332?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_267677372036?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - There've been a lot of movies based around the troubles of high school. From John Hughes' comical, and ultimately timeless 80's classics, to Gus Van Sants depressing, albeit important Elephant, it would appear that the lives of teenagers makes for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~267677372036 Wed, 18 Oct 2006 16:27:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_267677372036?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_267642244740?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - About 40 years ago George A. Romero changed the face of horror movies forever. He made a small film with a limited budget and mainly no name actors, yet somehow released probably the scariest horror film of the time. And now, Hollywood doesn't seem to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~267642244740 Wed, 18 Oct 2006 14:29:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_267642244740?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_267401989764?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - The world of 9 to 5 office work is an often mysterious one. Closed doors, security codes, and hush hush practices abound in the land of copiers and voice mails. Mike Judge explored this world with 1998's Office Space, exposing the soulless, boring... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~267401989764 Tue, 17 Oct 2006 23:21:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_267401989764?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_267371253380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - (This is a review of the software as a whole, not just the Italian version) In case you haven't read my bio, I sell this product at a shopping mall. As such, I'm sure you believe I have a biased opinion (or Epinion, whichever you prefer) and I'm only... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~267371253380 Tue, 17 Oct 2006 22:03:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_267371253380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_267368763012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - I've been a huge Scrubs fan since the show first aired five years ago. I was immediately drawn into the quirky characters, the complex story lines, and the emotional experience every episode encompasses. In a world where sitcoms barely scratch the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~267368763012 Tue, 17 Oct 2006 21:29:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_267368763012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_267351920260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - In the realm of video game based movies there really are no winners. It seems as soon as someone takes it upon themself to adapt a beloved first person shooter or RPG it&#146s doomed from the start. Maybe it&#146s because, in all honesty, games are... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~267351920260 Tue, 17 Oct 2006 20:42:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_267351920260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_267318300292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jheric - I love watching bad movies. As an amateur filmmaker, I like watching professional director's screw up a movie (hey, everyone's gotta feel cocky some time, right?). There really aren't enough words to describe how awful House of the Dead is.
