Hollywood has lost some of its creative spark and is seeking new inspiration in the past. George Lucas popularized movie-homage film-making by recreating the pizzazz of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~149493026436 Wed, 12 Jul 2006 02:43:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_149493026436?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_241616785028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author m_martinez - A generation of American kids like me grew up on comic books and Saturday morning cartoon shows. Inevitably, many of us were drawn toward the iconic Superman, the cleanest, least angst-ridden superhero of the 1970s reinvention era. Comic book leaders... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~241616785028 Wed, 12 Jul 2006 02:19:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_241616785028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_238954319492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author m_martinez - Douglas Anderson took the Tolkien scholarly world by storm with his Annotated Hobbit, setting a standard that has yet to be matched, let alone surpassed, by any published treatment of Tolkien's seminal novel. The Revised Annotated Hobbit draws upon... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~238954319492 Wed, 28 Jun 2006 03:40:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_238954319492?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_238954057348?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author m_martinez - Wayne Hammond and Christina Scull are widely recognized around the world as leading experts on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. Hammond's bibliographical work on Tolkien's literature is the most thorough treatment of the subject on record.

Animation was invented for mainstream film-making, going all the way back to silent movies. Somewhere along the way, perhaps in part due to Walt Disney and Warner... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~238719110788 Tue, 27 Jun 2006 00:32:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_238719110788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_167921356420?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author m_martinez - Lillian Glass has written what I consider to be the best book on body language I have read so far. She is a practicing psychologist who has used her knowledge of Kinesics (body language) effectively with her patients. Glass takes the reader through... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~167921356420 Sun, 2 Jan 2005 17:28:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_167921356420?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_167920242308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author m_martinez - Well, I don't know if it was the first book about Body Language, but it seems to have taken its place as the most popular book on body language. Frankly, I don't think it's as good as all that, but it is not as bad as some people would have you believe... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~167920242308 Sun, 2 Jan 2005 17:15:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_167920242308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_167917031044?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author m_martinez - Don Steele is a former clinical psychologist who took his theoretical and practical knowledge of human behavior into the field after his second marriage failed.

Tolkien. The Jackson movies depict a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~149489225348 Wed, 28 Jul 2004 15:46:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_149489225348?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_149388037764?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author m_martinez - I learned about the Creed brand by reading about it on the Internet. I was intrigued by the positive comments several guys made about Creed on a forum. When I found the Creed products for sale at a local store, I decided to buy one.

The typical Perl tutorial is a UNIX hack's feeble attempt to educate the unwashed masses in cryptic, inexplicable coding techniques with no... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~149386989188 Tue, 27 Jul 2004 23:31:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_149386989188?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_149385350788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author m_martinez - I picked this cologne because the saleswoman who introduced it to me took one sniff after spraying it on my wrist, assumed a strange, distant look, and said, "Interesting". I have worn both the Eau de Parfum and the Eau de Toilette. The Parfum... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~149385350788 Tue, 27 Jul 2004 23:07:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_149385350788?linkin_id=8003929
