This is not to say that STARMAN is a bad movie. It's just not a great one. It... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~21639237252 Tue, 8 May 2001 20:29:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_21639237252?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_21637271172?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - Being an adult, I don't usually go out of my way to see animated films, because they're generally for children and filled with sappy songs and body function humor. On the rare occasion, they speak to all ages or have a unique animation style like TOY... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~21637271172 Tue, 8 May 2001 20:17:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_21637271172?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_18637491844?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - Everytime I'm up in Sonoma County, on the wine trail, I make it a point to stop at Chateau Souverain. The winery buildings are just lovely, reminding you of something from a storybook. Located just off the highway, it's an easy stop and always a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~18637491844 Thu, 19 Apr 2001 15:03:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_18637491844?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_17542778500?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - The only reason I wanted to see this film was for Bette Davis' performance. The story is nothing new, but there's nothing like a classic romantic potboiler to get you through the afternoon. Those were the days when women ruled the box office and got... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~17542778500 Wed, 11 Apr 2001 19:01:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_17542778500?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_17540943492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - I don't see a lot of small movies because it usually takes too much effort to get to a local theater that's actually playing your selection. I made an exception in the case of THE DISH for three reasons: I generally love Australian movies, I heard this... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~17540943492 Wed, 11 Apr 2001 18:50:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_17540943492?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_17540091524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - I have to say that I haven't been so intrigued by a movie trailer, as MEMENTO's, in a very long time. I had never heard of the film before that and it made me seek out this limited release. For once, the trailer gave very little away, though after seeing... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~17540091524 Wed, 11 Apr 2001 18:44:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_17540091524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_17537863300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - The main reason that drew me to watching this 30-year-old classic is the same that made it a mega-hit in 1962, the chance to watch two legendary movie stars act opposite each other for the first and only time. Crawford and Davis were huge box-office... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~17537863300 Wed, 11 Apr 2001 18:25:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_17537863300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_15201111684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - I recently saw FLIRTING WITH DISASTER again for the first time since it came out in the theater. I remember laughing my pants off at the antics of Stiller and company as he sets off on a road trip to discover who his real parents are. It was still funny... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~15201111684 Tue, 27 Mar 2001 20:21:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_15201111684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_10257534596?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - I'm not necessarily on a crusade to see every Cary Grant movie ever made, but whenever I get the chance to see a different film of his, I generally make the effort to do so. They aren't always great, but usually they're at the very least amusing and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~10257534596 Thu, 22 Feb 2001 16:24:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_10257534596?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_10255896196?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - There are two reasons I decided to watch this film. The first would be that it won the Oscar for Best Picture and I try to make it a point to see what the Academy was thinking at certain times in cinema history. It's rare that I agree with them regarding... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~10255896196 Thu, 22 Feb 2001 16:08:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_10255896196?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_10253930116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES is a funny, classy, sexy musical that shows exactly why Marilyn Monroe is still popular today. One can say that it features a classic Monroe performance...that of the dumb, sweet blonde. It may be true that Monroe's character... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~10253930116 Thu, 22 Feb 2001 15:54:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_10253930116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_9250901636?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - I have to admit I was rather scared to watch this movie again. It's been a long time since I originally saw LOGAN'S RUN and sci-fi classics have a habit of becoming silly and outdated with age. I was afraid the story would be cheesy and the effects... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~9250901636 Wed, 14 Feb 2001 19:08:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_9250901636?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_9248607876?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - THE KING OF COMEDY was Scorsese and De Niro's fourth film together and their first and only comic collaboration, which is a real shame considering De Niro has recently been showing a real flare for comedy. This film is,given who's behind the camera, more... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~9248607876 Wed, 14 Feb 2001 18:52:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_9248607876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_9246838404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - I am one of those people who love old movies. People dismiss them as old-fashioned and quaint, without relevance to today's world. That may be, but there's nothing more enthralling than a classic story played out by actual movie stars. THE BAREFOOT... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~9246838404 Wed, 14 Feb 2001 18:39:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_9246838404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_9244282500?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - I don't usually see many small films, mainly because they don't play by my house and I'm loathe to go out of my way to see a movie in case it isn't very good. It just adds to my annoyance. However, YOU CAN COUNT ON ME was getting such rave reviews from... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~9244282500 Wed, 14 Feb 2001 18:22:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_9244282500?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_8338968196?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - I have to admit that I'm stunned I didn't enjoy this film more. I'm a huge fan of both Hepburn and Astaire and usually they can do no wrong in my book. It's not that FUNNY FACE is a horrible film, it's just so contrived that I didn't believe one frame of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~8338968196 Tue, 6 Feb 2001 15:46:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_8338968196?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_8337723012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - Now that I've begun taking an active interest in the Bond series - we've got most of them on DVD - I have to say that not only do I prefer Sean Connery as Bond (as most women do), but I like the earlier, gadget-free films better as well. Actually Q makes... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~8337723012 Tue, 6 Feb 2001 15:35:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_8337723012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_8334773892?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - This film happens to be one of my favorite Astaire and Rogers pictures. Even though it's far from perfect, it's one of the most upbeat and fun. A romantic comedy with ample doses of both, FOLLOW THE FLEET has some wonderful dance numbers that are hard to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~8334773892 Tue, 6 Feb 2001 15:11:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_8334773892?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_8332152452?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - The main reason I wanted to see this film was because of the cast. Malkovich and Dafoe are two of our finest actors and I knew that anything they chose to do together would at the very least be extremely interesting. Being a huge classic film fan as... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~8332152452 Tue, 6 Feb 2001 14:43:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_8332152452?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_7761727108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - Though I'm a big fan of classic cinema, I have to admit that this is the first film of Marlene Dietrich's I have ever seen all the way through. After watching BLONDE VENUS, I'm sorry I denied myself the joy of her immense charisma and talent all these... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~7761727108 Wed, 31 Jan 2001 22:18:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_7761727108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_7760088708?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - Being a huge Cary Grant fan I've tried to watch as many of his films as possible. ARSENIC AND OLD LACE is one of my favorites. The goings-on in this film are even more wacky than in his other screwball comedy classic BRINGING UP BABY and believe me,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~7760088708 Wed, 31 Jan 2001 22:06:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_7760088708?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_7758057092?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - I've been looking forward to seeing this film for a long time. I'm a big fan of the screenwriter William Goldman, a man responsible for some of cinema's greatest screenplays including BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID, THE MARATHON MAN and THE PRINCESS... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~7758057092 Wed, 31 Jan 2001 21:50:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_7758057092?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_7757074052?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - I have to admit, though I've heard how great this film is over the years, I had never felt compelled to actually sit down and watch it. I love Hepburn and Bogart, but I thought the film was about something completely different. What I'm not sure, but I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~7757074052 Wed, 31 Jan 2001 21:40:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_7757074052?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_7749144196?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - Since I wasn't born yet, nor have any real interest in politics or government, I was pretty unaware of the actual events of the Cuban Missile Crisis. I'd heard of it, but that's about it. I'm sure there's a whole slew of movie-goers out there in the same... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~7749144196 Wed, 31 Jan 2001 20:52:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_7749144196?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_7747767940?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - I was really looking forward to seeing this movie. QUILLS is the type of movie I generally adore. It has great actors in scene-chewing roles, has what I thought would be an interesting story and is high on the naughtiness factor.
