Swordfish and a bit more

Sat, 26 Jan 2002 13:45:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - I had to get my husband's opinion on this movie, so here it is. First of all we get to see Halle Berry with alot more skin than usual if you know what I mean. Second, this movie falls into my category of "out there!" This being exactly why I liked it!...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - Let me tell you....you need to see this movie to believe it! This movie will put you on the edge of your seat and asking for more. Your money will not be wasted when you see this movie and compared to Driven this one tops it all the way. The stars are...

Nothing Compares to the original

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 00:55:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - Hmm where do I begin? It was intelligent, had great underlying sociological points on the way the world was when it was made, many of which still stand today, and had makeup that still looks fantastic.

And now, they've 'reimagined' this...

Atlantis and a Fox all on it's own

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 00:41:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - Well, I'll say one thing right off- mind blowing visuals. Then there's the story-a bit incoherent,

which left alot of questions open. The plot structure was very odd.. It felt more and more like an

anime every second in this regard. Many people...

American Pie all over again.

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 00:19:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - my husband and I laughed like we never have before at this one. There is no question as to if this is better than the first American Pie, the question is by how much.

The movie begins on the infamous college dorm scene that was heavily...

Wake up cause Rock is Not Dead

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 00:17:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - This one was just awesome, kind of a mixture of just about everything.

That being said, the soundtrack is great as well. It has a very eclectic mix ranging from the neo-classical "Clubbed to Death" by Rob D to the electronic "Leave you Far...

Moulin Waste

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 00:12:52 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - Don't waste yours on seeing this picture!

First, I thought that Nicole Kidman just stood out too much and she did not fit into this role the right way. Her character was not playful/light enough. She is definitely sexy and beautiful, but she...

Big bugs really big bugs!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - The movie "Jumanji" is one of the best action/adventure movies you can find on the market. It takes place in a small town in New Hampshire. Alan Parrish is a boy growing up in 1969. His father is cold towards him, his classmates bully him . . . he tries...

Return of the Mummy and another desperate attempt to make some big bucks off fans.

Tue, 6 Nov 2001 16:27:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - I was sorely disappointed by The Mummy Returns. The original Mummy was one of my favorite movies; it had a believable storyline, smart and interesting action, spontaneous humour, and romantic tension and chemistry between Rick and Evie.

Ledger does it again...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - Let me begin by saying that this film is not what most people expect it to be. Rather than being a typical medieval hack and slash movie, A Knight's Tale is actually a sports movie with a lot of comedy, action, and a bit of romance.

Confused?...

What women didn't want

Fri, 17 Aug 2001 11:35:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - Ahh Mel Gibson. What woman doesn't admire the man? Well in this comedy probably quite a few! Really though this movie wasn't all that bad especially being Mel's first attempt at a real comedy. AND it was funny in several areas. What I really hated though...

Dude where's my car? This movie needs to go!

Fri, 17 Aug 2001 11:00:09 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - I really don't have much to say about this movie excpet that it is a real waste of your money in theaters or out. What you might have thought was funny was just down right idiotic and dumb.

"Dude, Where's My Car?" is quite literally, the third worst...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - Finally a good slasher movie where the previews actually made it as good as it was! If Critics could get over the fact that... Yes, Girls are Chased down dark hallways by a Mask wearing Serial Killer in "Valentine", they would actually realise that the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - Before there was scary movie these guys were making fun of many of the sci fi movies especially Star Wars.. Yet Spaceballs is the funniest movie that I have ever seen.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - As far as comedies go this is a classic. It's actually funny, and that's what gives a comedy its lifeblood. Nicolas Cage is at his best, the Coen brothers do a great job directing, John Goodman is hilarious, Holly Hunter is great. The story is...

Thu, 26 Apr 2001 20:15:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - Michael J. Fox is among one of the many funny men of the 80's that I enjoy watching and seeing him in Back to the Future is no exception.

With an all star cast Back to the Future may be the most enchanting comedy/adventure there is. The film...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - I actually bought this on DVD along with two as a pack for my kids.

This is a humourous story of a bunch of toys. They weren't anybody's toys but Andy's toys. How these toys loved being Andy's toys. Whenever there were occasions where Andy...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - There are so many wonderful 80's - 90's movies that I thought I'd sit down and write about them. Raiders of the Lost Ark is among one of those.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - The first time I saw this movie I was in awe so of course I had to watch it again and let me tell you I'd watch it over and over if I could find the original on DVD. The movie starts out as:

Thu, 26 Apr 2001 19:10:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author leann22 - Written by an American, starring and directed by an Australian, this is still a great Scottish movie. Why? Because it feels right. There are certain touches which are so convincing; for example, the early scene where they are discussing whether to fight...
