Nicholson 101

Sun, 5 Aug 2001 02:36:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - Jack Nicholson gives me the screaming heebie-jeebies. Everything about him just stares me in the face and issues a solemn reminder of how arbitrary and shallow fame is. Here is the ultimate one-note Johnny. He is the Angry, Unhinged Guy. I don't like...

Robinson Crusoe, Fed Ex guy

Thu, 21 Jun 2001 21:08:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - The second I turned off Castaway, I thought to myself, "Wow. That was epic. Huge. Gorgeous. Powerful. I wish I'd seen that in the theater". A couple hours later, I realized I'd just watched a two-and-a-half-hour long Fed-Ex commercial.

one of a kind

Thu, 24 May 2001 23:41:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - Let's just begin by saying that Shrek really isn't for kids. Really. If you had a notion of loading up your minivan with your kids and your neighbor's kids and heading on down to the Gigaplex, just...go see something else. Wait for...

Love and the verbally incontinent spinster

Mon, 23 Apr 2001 22:18:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - Okay, I admit it. Renee Zellweger was very, very good. When I first went to darkhorizons.com to get the scoops on Bridget Jones' Diary and I read that Zellweger was doing the honors, I was completely offended. What was wrong with an actress who...

Like, ohmigod! A vampire flick for the 80's

Tue, 17 Apr 2001 23:06:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - Everything about The Lost Boys is so relentlessly dated; from the soundtrack full of INXS tunes to the presence of Jami Gertz and the Two Coreys (Haim and Feldman, for those of you born after 1983). I remember seeing this movie in the theater on...

The taming of the hacker chick

Wed, 21 Mar 2001 02:20:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - There's a weird Taming of the Shrew thing going on in Hackers. The lead female character's name is Kate, and she's kind of nasty, but she happens to be smarter than all the boys she hangs out with. She falls for a Greek god of a hacker...

Addicts and perverts and purse snatchers, oh my!

Thu, 1 Mar 2001 22:14:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - It would figure that the first book I actually have some time to sit down and read in a great while would be the longest, most convoluted, most confusing thing ever written in the English language.

I knew it was long when I took it off the...

Tooth-achingly cute

Tue, 27 Feb 2001 22:50:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - If your child is a fan of Blue, you'll have to shell out the fifteen dollars for Blue's Big Musical sooner or later. It's a good investment, unless you're like several of my friends who have tossed out their televisions. Believe me, five or six...

kiddie Cliff's notes?

Thu, 8 Feb 2001 02:34:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - Blue's Clues seems to be the standard by which all other kids' shows are measured. Nobody can stop raving about Blue, and granted, lots of kids' shows just fall short of its high-energy antics and sheer brain power.

There's something about Mary's dad

Sat, 20 Jan 2001 04:24:49 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - Christmas just passed. It was a good Christmas; I got a card out to every single person on my list and even a few others who hadn't heard from me in years. I felt very generous this year. So, in that spirit, I have a few things to give out to the cast...

Food. Barely.

Fri, 3 Nov 2000 17:18:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - The Good

Fast food, in general, saves me from having to cook now and then, like when it's 7:30 p.m. and my husband is just getting out of work. There are many, many fast food restaurants that are superior, but sometimes beggars just...

A former local's (brief) guide to the Orlando area

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 21:44:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe -
Review Topic: Practical Information

I was born and raised in Florida, not very far from Orlando. Since I spent twenty-one years in the area, it's not very special or magical to me, but I've seen thousands of people wandering...

Archived Web Services Reviews: I want my berzerk.com back!

Fri, 15 Sep 2000 22:55:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - I was a huge, huge fan of "Acrophobia", a game on the berzerk.com games site. I didn't visit very often; maybe once a week, but "Acrophobia" and "Cosmic Consensus" were my two favorite ways to waste time.

Unbeknownst to me, berzerk was...

stupid bimbo tricks

Fri, 8 Sep 2000 15:52:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - My favorite show on E! is the scavenger hunt show called "Search Party". On this show, a few celebrities and a few wannabes run around various exotic locales to find stuff and do tricks a la David Letterman. There's something so...

Ted's excellent football adventure (revised)

Tue, 29 Aug 2000 17:34:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - Oh, Keanu. What are we going to do with Keanu? Just when we think he's stopped being the perpetual big, dumb guy, he goes and makes The Replacements, the big dumb movie to end all big dumb movies. He recently said in a Rolling Stone...

Hollywood Stock Exchange: fun, stupid little diversion

Mon, 28 Aug 2000 16:59:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - No, you don't earn real money. It's all for fun. It is, however, educational if you've never played the stock market. The best way to learn how to play is just to play and figure it out for yourself.

In a nutshell, a player trades movie...

Little Ben Stein

Sat, 26 Aug 2000 00:29:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - Max Fisher (Jason Schwartzman) is fifteen. He doesn't act fifteen; he's more like fifteen going on forty. Not only that; he's a dead ringer for Ben Stein (the "Bueller? Bueller?" guy who now hosts a game show and a talk show on Comedy...

The most popular movie of all time

Fri, 11 Aug 2000 16:56:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - I dislike Titanic out of general principle. The Titanic episode in itself was horrific; it came about out of the hubris and short-sightedness of a handful of people and caused the deaths of hundreds, many of them poor, some of them children. If...

Mostly truth

Mon, 7 Aug 2000 21:03:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - I have a sort of love-hate relationship with Madonna. She is often two very different people rolled into one. On one hand, you have the feminist icon rebel who has paved the way for all female artists, good and bad. This is the Madonna I admire. On...

Dear Russell,

Thu, 27 Jul 2000 15:25:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - I adore you. You are a genius and you're dead sexy to boot. On even your worst day, you make Marlon Brando look like Pauly Shore. I'm sorry to say, darling, this was your worst day.

You're as good as you can be in this movie. I am a hockey...

a romantic comedy classic

Mon, 24 Jul 2000 21:24:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - Four Weddings and a Funeral is one of two movies that I've seen over twenty times that I've yet to get tired of (Say Anything is the other). Hugh Grant made this film before he developed that blinking- stuttering thing he does now, so he's...

Smooth Talk: A dialogue

Thu, 20 Jul 2000 23:58:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - I first saw Smooth Talk four or five years ago on cable. I wasn't a teen anymore, but I remembered well how scary and awkward is was to be a teenage girl, so this movie commanded my attention from the beginning. The absolutely creepy performance...

Mr. Hunting goes to Italy

Tue, 18 Jul 2000 20:54:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - The Talented Mr. Ripley could have been a kick-butt movie. It has a fabulous script. It’s tight and tense; a thriller with just enough of an edge and adequate plot twists, but not too many. It’s kind of long; almost two and a half hours, but...

Law & Order: the Unofficial Companion

Mon, 17 Jul 2000 20:42:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - by Kevin Courrier and Susan Green, copyright 1998 Renaissance Books

First, a little history

In 1988, CBS ran a pilot of a series called Law and Order. It was a cop show like nobody had seen before. It starred a group...

Zippy's: Traveling to Hawaii? Stop in at a Zippy's.

Tue, 11 Jul 2000 19:42:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kilinahe - Zippy's is a bit of a Hawaii institution. They are found only in Hawaii, and as far as I know, only on the Island of O'ahu. What you find in a Zippy's varies from location to location. At most, there is both a take-out window and a sit-down...
