Best portrayal of what 1% biker gangs are like.

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 15:51:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - I love this movie - well I love anything with Charlie Sheen (and Michael Madsen). This is the best movie - in my opinion - in portraying what 1% motorcycle gangs are really like. My biggest problem with this movie is that in real life, Dan/Charlie...

It's only getting 2 out of 5 because it was shot in Phila.

Sat, 23 Sep 2000 10:18:14 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - Let me tell you. This past weekend was a banner Philadelphia-movies weekend for me. I watched "Fallen", "Rocky II" and "Philadelphia" - all set in (where else?) - Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love.

"Time is on my side"

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 08:45:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - The Rolling Stones' "Time is on my side" is sung by a convicted murderer as he is being led to the gas chamber. That's basically how this movie starts.

Elias Koteas plays a great psycho - Edgar Reese. He's the one who's singing...

Baltimore should thank Levinson and Waters

Thu, 21 Sep 2000 18:49:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - I wonder. If not for Barry Levinson and John Waters, would the town of Baltimore, Maryland be used as the setting for any movies?

Tin Men is the story of rival aluminum siding salesmen set in 1963. The main characters in competition are...

And you thought using a phone while driving was dangerous

Thu, 21 Sep 2000 08:28:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - Whenever I think of this movie, I immediately think of Steve Martin in a too-small cowboy hat, dressed up as a cowboy. And that's the second funniest thing in the movie.

The first being what happens when Karen Buckman (Mary Steenburgen)...

Bo Derek nude. Any questions?

Tue, 19 Sep 2000 19:34:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - The story in a nutshell is a middle-aged man obsessed with a younger woman.

The movie opens with a surprise party thrown for George (Dudley Moore) by his girlfriend Sam (Julie Andrews). George and Sam are showbiz people and live on...

"The turkey's done." "So's the kitchen."

Thu, 14 Sep 2000 01:00:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - I first saw this movie when it was in the theater. At that time I lived in an apartment and thought the movie was wacky and hilarious. Those things could never happen in real life.

Then I bought a house several years ago, and 45 days after I...

There is no more annoying actress than Rosie Perez.

Wed, 13 Sep 2000 23:31:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - Just like "Blue Streak" did not improve my opinion of Martin Lawrence, this film did not improve my opinion of Rosie Perez, who I believe has a more annoying voice than Olive Oyl.

Storyline in a nutshell. Cop buys a lottery ticket,...

Chemistry, chemistry, chemistry!

Wed, 13 Sep 2000 19:43:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - Did you ever have your life planned, right down to the very last detail, only to have one person or thing come along and totally throw chaos into your life? That's what happens to Ben (Ben Affleck) in this movie.

He's about to get married...

Based on a true story. Scary as hell.

Wed, 13 Sep 2000 18:36:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - Although this movie is very good, the book is excellent. Based on a true story, this is a film about a house possessed by evil spirits out to possess and/or kill whoever occupies the house. (This is what the house in "the Haunting" tried to...

"Smart is so sexy."

Wed, 13 Sep 2000 08:23:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - Set in Detroit the not-too-distant-future, Peter Weller plays Alex Murphy, a cop who is killed and brought back to life, sort of, as a cyborg-robot cop ("Robo Cop"). The perfect cop, right? Sure, except no one counted on Robo Cop having...

Martin Lawrence is NO Eddie Murphy!

Tue, 12 Sep 2000 08:32:32 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - First, let me say that I am no fan of Martin Lawrence. And this film just reinforced my opinion of him.

The basic storyline is that Lawrence, a jewel thief, hides a huge diamond in a building under construction before he's sent to prison...

Drew Barrymore at her sexiest!

Mon, 11 Sep 2000 18:50:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - This title is perfect for this movie. Why? Drew Barrymore plays Ivy, a girl who poisons everyone and everything which she comes into contact.

This movie shows Drew at her sexiest. She moves in with the Cooper family. Tom Skerritt...

Jennifer Aniston plays a waitress. How original!

Sat, 9 Sep 2000 18:14:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - This was a "well, I can't sleep, let's see what's on HBO" movie. But I rather enjoyed it.

The movie starts out rather slow and never really peaks. However, it did keep a somewhat steady pace. The basic premise of the movie is a...

Great family film

Sat, 9 Sep 2000 12:32:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - This is a great family film, meaning there is no real violence, no nudity and very little swearing. And it's got a decent plot.

After 18 years of marriage, Grover's parents are getting a divorce. A friend's innocent remark to him "Lock...

Another great performance by Michelle Pfeiffer

Fri, 8 Sep 2000 08:59:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - This is not a happy, feel good, pick me up kind of movie. It is, however, very good. Michelle Pfeiffer (Beth) and Treat Williams (Pat) are a married couple whose son Ben is kidnapped.

Beth retreats into her own world and can barely cope...

"I know you are, but what am I?"

Thu, 7 Sep 2000 08:09:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - First, let me state that I was never a fan of "Pee Wee's Playhouse" and I thought it oddly amusing when Paul Reubens got picked up in that porno theater "shaking his stuff". That said, I loved this movie.

I have seen it...

What was the point of making Catherine Zeta-Jones bisexual?

Wed, 6 Sep 2000 18:56:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - This movie had a promising cast - Liam Neeson (Dr. Marrow), Virginia Madsen (Jane), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Theo), Lili Taylor (Nell) and Bruce Dern (Mr. Dudley). But then it broke its promise.

I have liked Lili Taylor in everything I have seen...

Mission from God

Wed, 6 Sep 2000 09:27:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - If you've read my recent review on "Caddyshack" you know how disappointed I was after having watched it over my movie marathon weekend. So it was with trepidation that I turned on the "Blues Brothers". I didn't think I could stand...

You Can't Go Home Again...

Wed, 6 Sep 2000 08:39:23 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - Have you ever had really fond memories of something and then later discovered that your memory might be wrong? I had that happen this past weekend while I was watching some "older" movies. By older, I mean from the early 1980s.

I...

Oh Captain, My Captain

Wed, 6 Sep 2000 04:22:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - I saw this film when it first was released, mainly because it was filmed in Delaware, close to where I live. This film was not at all what I expected when I first saw it. I expected a semi-serious drama with lots of laughs. Let me just say that if you...

Low budget version of "Jagged Edge"

Sat, 2 Sep 2000 11:31:43 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - I give Rebecca DeMornay a lot of credit. When she first appeared in "Risky Business" playing a hooker, I thought she was a one-shot wonder. Not that she didn't play the hooker well, but come on, who can't play a hooker? (ok, maybe Darryl...

Wed, 30 Aug 2000 06:24:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - James Woods stars as Jack Crow, a vampire slayer. Seems years ago, Jack's dad was bitten by a vampire. He then attacked Jack's mother and him, so Jack had to kill his own father. Perhaps that accounts for Jack's animosity towards vampires. Actually...

Beware of flying coffee cups

Tue, 29 Aug 2000 08:12:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - A chick flick or a date movie is probably the best way to describe this film. Storyline in a nutshell - guy and girl go up for same journalism job, editor decides they should share the job, they fall in love and prove that opposites do attract.

"Perhaps we should call in a police sketch artist"

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 03:20:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lowride7 - I think of this movie as THE teen sexplotation movie that started it all. This is a great, mindless film that features no big name actors (with the exception of Kim Cattrall of "Sex and the City" who has a small part), but is still a lot of...
