You won't be silent when you scream

Sat, 5 Jan 2008 16:33:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - This is probably the best movie adaptation of a video game EVER although that's probably not saying much considering the rest of the genre. I have played the Silent Hill games. I can tell you that they are insanely creepy so I am happy to announce that...

Too foggy for its own good

Sat, 5 Jan 2008 16:23:45 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - I really wanted this to be good because like many fans of the short story I have been waiting a long time for a movie adaptation. On one hand I think people unfamiliar with the novella will be looking at their watches waiting for the blood to start...

More please

Sat, 5 Jan 2008 16:07:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - I had never heard of this film, but I am sure glad I rented it. The plot sounded like a Twilight Zone episode mixed with a little NORTH BY NORTHWEST. It certainly started off like a noirish Twilight Zone episode...but unfortunately the NORTH BY NORTHWEST...

So real it's scary

Sat, 5 Jan 2008 15:48:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - Another in-joke Hollywood movie about the unlikely and unreasonable Hollywood process that hits the nail on the head, THE TV SET is more poignant and insightful than funny. As someone who has worked on TV and independent movie sets, I can tell you that...

Ambrose Bierce this ain't

Sat, 5 Jan 2008 15:28:09 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - Extremely loosely based on a short story by Ambrose Bierce, "The Damned Thing" is Tobe Hooper's second episode in the TV series and while not especially great it's much better than the drek he churned out in season one. After a fantastically creepy and...

The Dark Knight Returns...to true form

Tue, 5 Apr 2005 16:24:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - With the Batman movie franchise on the steep decline (the upcoming BATMAN BEGINS notwithstanding), I am ecstatic that the WB finally (!!!) released their 1/2 hour cartoon, BATMAN: The Animated Series, on DVD. This series premiered in 1992 on the heels of...

Listen to me very carefully. I shall say this only once.

Sun, 3 Apr 2005 00:05:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - ALLO ALLO isn't so much a bold hit-and-miss British sitcom as it is a comedic WWII soap opera whose goofball characters get themselves in deeper and deeper trouble as the farsical storylines play out. To watch one episode from any of the show's 9 seasons...

Evil gets an upgrade 1/2 out of *

Mon, 28 Mar 2005 22:39:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - Think you know evil? Well, think again. CAPCAM has taken their original foray into survival horror and overhauled it for the Gamecube. Let me be crystal clear here. While you may be familiar with the story of the original game, RE for the Gamecube is not...

How To Describe An Absolute Bomb

Fri, 12 Nov 2004 16:45:12 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - Uh-oh. Uh-ohhh. I'm at a place I didn't want to gooooo... Cd's done...and now I know...that U2...gave us nothing to feeeel. I feel numb. I have been an avid U2 fan for nearly 20 years. I've loved the highs and skittered through the lows...usually...

Stagnant

Tue, 20 Jan 2004 17:17:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - MYSTIC RIVER is a decent if not powerful 100-minute story about the bonds of friendship and the choices that shape our lives buried within an overwritten if not boring 137-minute movie about an obvious murder mystery. The story unfolds as three boys...

SURPRISE SURPRISE

4th time's a charm!

Wed, 26 Mar 2003 21:50:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - Stephen King has always claimed that the short story is the most difficult kind of writing for an author...even for one such as himself. The author must create vivid characters and story points (beginning, middle, ending) all within the span of 3 - 50...

From A Boring Book

Tue, 25 Mar 2003 16:06:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - Imagine my surprise when I read that Stephen King was in western Pennsylvania to do research for a new book revolving around cops. How cool!!! I grew up in western PA so I was really interested to see what the Master of Horror dreamed up. I received FROM...

Decisions, decisions.

Fri, 13 Sep 2002 20:13:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - I've played a lot of FPS games: GOLDENEYE, DOOM, RED FACTION, HALF-LIFE, MEDAL OF HONOR, etc. First-person shooters are essentially all the same, aren't they? AREN'T THEY?! Finally somebody came up with a new twist, and I absolutely love it!

DEUS...

Who Goes There?

Mon, 26 Aug 2002 20:57:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - I am a huge fan of John Carpenter's THE THING. I think it's his best film over HALLOWEEN, CHRISTINE, THE FOG and BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA.So, when I heard that there was a video game being released based on the film and since I love survival horror...

Just off the Mark

Thu, 22 Aug 2002 16:53:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - A friend of mine at work told me about this great new game called The Mark of Kri. We read about it and downloaded movies of it on a video game website. It looked really cool. And it is...but to a point.

The Mark of Kri literally tells...

STOP!

Sat, 3 Aug 2002 15:46:08 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - In 1999, M. Night Shyamalon gave us THE SIXTH SENSE with an ending that was jaw-dropping incredible. In 2000, he gave us UNBREAKABLE with an ending that was inevitable but tolerable. In 2002, the director gives us SIGNS with an ending that is not only...

WHOOSH!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - "So, I saw this movie about a bus that kept speeding around town, and it had to keep its speed above 50 miles per hour, and if the bus's speed dropped below 50 miles per hour, it would explode. I think it was called...'The Bus That Could Never Slow...

Crouching Console, Hidden Joystick

Sun, 23 Jun 2002 00:29:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - I picked this up over the weekend while "browsing" around at Best Buy. It just sounded so cool...DIE WITH HONOR...the tagline said. 3-D sword fighting with over 200 combo moves and choose-your-own-adventure style gameplay. Too good to be true? Not...

A Simple Road

Wed, 12 Jun 2002 13:31:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - I had the pleasure of seeing a complete version of the upcoming "Road to Perdition" last night at a screening for Dreamworks employees and post-production people (and friends of such...since that's where I fit in). I saw a poster for this film several...

The Adequate Spiderman

Fri, 3 May 2002 20:33:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - Hello, Spider-fans!

Okay. So, I'm not Stan Lee. I'm not even much of a comic book fan...more of a Saturday morning cartoon fan of old. I was fairly hyped up for SPIDERMAN since he and THE HULK were my two favorite superheroes as a kid. Well, I...

In God's Hands

Sat, 13 Apr 2002 16:20:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - As much as the TV spots and trailers might have you believe, FRAILTY is NOT a slasher film. It is much better. FRAILTY is one of those gems like STAND BY ME or SLING BLADE that takes you into its little slice of life and makes you believe in its...

1/2......1/2......

Thu, 4 Apr 2002 16:56:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - I first saw THE GAME when it came out in the theater almost 5 years ago. It is a difficult movie to describe or review without giving too much away...and that's more than half the fun of it when you see THE GAME for the first time. It's a real mind-trip...

Panic? Naw.

Tue, 2 Apr 2002 16:19:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - For those Hitchcock fans out there, you should forget the PSYCHO remake or Bob Zemekis's painful homage WHAT LIES BENEATH. Instead, PANIC ROOM is just the right movie for you. It's a darker and more frenetic version of REAR WINDOW as 98% of the film...
