Proof that mindless comedy can be funny

Mon, 16 Dec 2002 02:16:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - Let's be frank: when it comes to film comedies, Rob Schneider lies near the bottom of the food chain, just a little bit above Carrot Top but somewhat below Pauly Shore. Perish the thought that when you go to one of his movies, you'll be reaching the...

Quick! How do you make a bad movie?

Tue, 23 Jul 2002 03:25:02 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - I'm sure it was an idea that sounded good on paper: lessee, do a modern day remake of the classic 60s cult show, the Avengers, get a coupla box office superstars in the lead roles, hire Sean Connery, and throw about a billion million dollars into the...

Someone slap Jon Voight! And quick!

Sun, 21 Jul 2002 18:06:55 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - Jon Voight. Sean Connery. Robert DeNiro. Dustin Hoffman. Kathleen Turner. Arnold Schwarzennegar. What do all of these people have in common? They're critically acclaimed and successful actors who, for some reason at the height of their success, decided...

Alas, poor HM, I hardly knew ye!

Sat, 20 Jul 2002 03:23:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - I picked up my first Heavy Metal in over five years the other month. Don't know why-- guess it was for old times sake. At any rate, I bought the bible of European graphic novel telling at a hefty price of 5 bucks and change. And quite frankly, I didn't...

I love it, and I'm not even religious!

Tue, 16 Oct 2001 21:02:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - I hate to sound like Sally Field, but I like this film; I really like this film.

I didn't think I would. As a person whose never been all that religious, biblical films have always been to me what kryptonite is to Superman. I just could...

"Well... the fat man made a funny!"

Tue, 16 Oct 2001 11:20:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - Last year, a momentous thing happened. For the first time in years, I found a use for my VCR. After coughing up dust after the demise of Monty Python's run on PBS in NY, not to mention the loss of cool shows like Red Dwarf, my VCR was finally back in...

Hotbar: It slices and dices!

Tue, 16 Oct 2001 10:07:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - Can I be frank?

Every so often, I will get something goofy like one of those cheap-o as seen on TV/Harriet Carter type catalogs which often feature useless garbage that have you wondering why on earth they were invented in the first...

How the Mighty Have Fallen

Sun, 14 Oct 2001 19:25:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - One day last year, I visited the huge Barnes and Nobles store out on 18th street in Manhattan. By accident, I stumbled onto the bargain bin by the philosophy section. Not one to pass up a cheap book, I rifled through the stack of about twenty books and...

A.O.HELL

Fri, 13 Jul 2001 10:24:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - On the week of July 4th, 2001, I saw fireworks.

No, the fireworks had nothing to do with the celebration of our country's independence. It had to do with a particular phone call I received a few days before.

It was the call from...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - About two weeks ago, I had to do a thing I thought I would never do. I had to actually go back to many sites I frequently visit and switch my contact info from my Email.com account to Hotmail.com, a service that I detest, but use anyway as back-up.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - When I learned that Matt Groening was producing another animated series, I was more than excited to see it, especially since it was going to be about the future. Hell, the Jetsons hadn't been on the air in quite awhile and I figured that we were about...

Imponderables it ain't!

Thu, 26 Apr 2001 17:48:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - Remember Imponderables, that cute collection of books you use to read as a kid that would answer such questions like, "Do fish sleep?" or "Where do astronauts go to the bathroom?" Well, if you're all grown up and still have a taste for trivia yet...

Elle is Belle!

Sun, 25 Feb 2001 17:54:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - The other day, the latest isue of Elle Magazine dropped at my doorstep.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - Do NOT be fooled by its interface.

This is the first thing I must tell anyone thinking of downloading either the shareware or freeware version of Ultimate Paint.

Why?

Because when you first see UP's interface, you will...

Etour: Well, hush my mouth! Etour is "tour" ific!

Thu, 25 Jan 2001 16:58:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - Okay, now that I've caused you to groan over my corny title...

I would have never signed up for the coolest web site in the world had it not been for Netflip. I was feeling desperate and greedy one day, and, seeing that signing up for Etour...

LULL... lita

Thu, 25 Jan 2001 13:04:10 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - *Please read my additional comments about this review.*

How I discovered this book should have been a clue to its worth. I was leaving the main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library one day when I noticed a small box filled with a few books...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - I am about to lose my mind with Met Connect.

Which is a shame because I have liked it from since the beginning.

Picture it: it's October of 2000, I've been online a little over a month and a half, and I have had two disastrous...

Golding's Nightmare

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 01:04:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - Can you believe it? I didn't have to read Lord of the Flies in high school.

Weird, I know. I don't know why, though. (Maybe there wasn't enough time to read it what with us having to read Brave New World, 1984 and a slew of Tennessee Williams...

Not Her Best Work

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 23:45:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - When the first single of the same name from Madonna's 1998 album, Ray of Light, came out, we were treated to a brand new Material Girl. Now, changing is what made Madonna a star, so we should have been used to her latest incarnation. However, there was...

A Must-have for Any Self Helper

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 23:17:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - Scrutinize the selections of self help books in a bookstore, and snuggled between the rows and rows of Chicken Soup for the Soul and Chopra and Schlesinger, you might find this little known book. It's a fairly non-descript book-- there is no picture of...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - There are movies that are bad, and then there are movies that are baaaaaad.

Guess which category "From Dusk Til Dawn" falls into?

Let me start off by saying that this movie is worth renting, but for the wrong...

A Stinker!

Thu, 4 Jan 2001 13:13:44 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lola_f - There are some movies so abysmally bad, so unforgivably horrible, that there is no other way to express how you feel than to cut to the chase. Krippendorf's Tribe was proof that an Oscar win does not guarantee success. I have only a few words for Richard...
