Why are you so happy? No reason. Just am!

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 13:12:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - I have not read many books over the past three or four years. Not only that, I have not gotten through some of those books. And.....I did not get around to writing an Epinions review. So, I'm a bit rusty, my fellow Epinions...

“Listen here, ya’ damn Yankee!”

Sun, 25 Jan 2009 20:02:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - Okay, I just thought I’d get your attention. I'm joking. I’ve never referred to a Northerner as a Yankee or Scalawag, but I have been called a Yankee when I was down South in 2000 for a summer job in college (though it's...

Gran Torino: "Get off my lawn!"

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 14:39:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - If you've not seen Gran Torino, I suggest you do it quick before it leaves theaters. You're talking to a guy who doesn't go to movies that often anymore as I just don't pay attention to popular culture and when I do take note of movies...

"Be nice"

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 22:24:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - I think I have a Patrick Swayze fascination this past month. I watched Ghost, The Outsiders and Road House this past weekend after not seeing it on over 10 years. It's a shame Patrick Swayze has cancer. He...

Automate your life!

Fri, 9 Jan 2009 12:52:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - Want to know the secret to wealth? It's not the hottest stock or mutual fund to invest in. It's not the most prime piece of real estate. It's not buying low and then selling high or even day trading. Heck, it's not even...

A 60+ Stallone can still be a bad mother you-know-what!

Sat, 31 May 2008 11:20:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - After seeing the most recent Rocky movie and not being impressed...and upon hearing my younger brother's opinion that the newest Indiana Jones movie in theaters was not worth the time, I thought, "Oh, boy. The 80s action heroes from my childhood...

So it's not just white people that can be evil!

Fri, 15 Jun 2007 18:38:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - Just kidding. It seems most of those history movies nowadays that show the evils of the West (Mississippi Burning, Schindler's List, etc...), but very little on the brutalities of the non-Western world. I've read a little bit about Idi Amin from a book...

Over 40, broke, and think it’s too late? Think again!

Fri, 25 May 2007 17:47:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - I’m almost 30 and have put aside a good amount of money in stocks, my IRA, and I always sock away 10-15% of my paychecks before I spend it and pay bills. It gives me comfort to know that the money I’m putting away in my 20s and 30s consistently into my...

Oh no...you mean you've never 'done it'?

Sun, 23 Jul 2006 23:46:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - (I’ve not done a review in a while, so I’m a little rusty. Please be gentle with Little Matty.) For once I have found a comedy that doesn’t poke fun at the virgins and guys with little experience with women, because I happen to be just like the...

Peace and Love take down an Empire

Fri, 28 Apr 2006 16:00:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - “All throughout history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for awhile they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fail. Always.” Of all the quotes from Gandhi, and from the...

What is a Nerd? We are

Thu, 6 Oct 2005 22:25:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - This is another one of the classic college comedies of the 70’s and 80’s. I remember watching this as a kid, and liking the nerd laugh of Robert Carradine. In fact, I did that so much around the house after seeing this movie, my mother said,...

Entitlements never go away...

Sat, 6 Aug 2005 17:49:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - Quotas. Leveling the playing field. These are common expressions in America, especially after the Civil Rights Act of the 1960s when it comes to correct centuries of historical injustice against blacks. You would think the good ole’ USA is the...

“Give me your tired, your hungry, your poor”

Fri, 3 Jun 2005 18:05:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - America; a nation of immigrants. Most of us are descendants of Irish, African, German, English or some kind of Asia or Latin derivation. Each immigrant group brought to America their culture, their language, their food dishes, served their country...

South Park is funny, mmmkay?

Fri, 20 May 2005 10:21:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - Now, I want to review a South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut CD, mmmkay? You see, even to this day, a cartoon-musical complete with horrific(though, very creative) foul language, over-the-top sexual scenes, and mocking of political correctness still has...

Sprechen Sie Deutsches?

Fri, 18 Feb 2005 19:30:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - This is the second German movie I have seen this month. The other one I saw was called Goodbye, Lenin which I will get to writing up a review for sometime. My younger brother knows the German language, German culture, German music (classic and...

We’re having right-wingers for dinner!

Tue, 8 Feb 2005 01:30:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - The Last Supper was made in 1995, but I don’t remember this one. It’s too bad as this was a dark comedy with a good mix of philosophy and morals. The actors are Cameron Diaz (she’s still hot!), Ron Eldard, Annabeth Gish, Jonathan Penner and...

Four eyes no more!

Thu, 27 Jan 2005 19:47:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - I got contacts because I wanted a different look. I’ve grown facial hair, combed my hair differently and so on. Nothing seemed to work. As well, dying my hair and getting tattoos and piercings is out of the question. With that being the case, I...

And the point of this film is......?

Sat, 11 Dec 2004 13:40:04 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - Buried in the Sand is a good title for this documentary. It seems to be where the makers of this film have their heads buried. I will give this movie some credit-at least it was longer and more in-depth than FarenHYPE 911. This documentary tries...

You look like you've seen a ghost

Sun, 14 Nov 2004 13:52:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - Did that chair just move by itself? Did a murder happen right in the house where you are living in? Do you hear unexplained noises in your basement? Did it feel like someone blew right into your ear, even though you're the only one around? If so, you...

Moore exposed-PART 2

Thu, 11 Nov 2004 00:47:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - I am pleased to see that conservatives are getting a voice and are doing a pretty good job of counterattacking the charges made against them. I had to see the first one so that I would be able to refute and support this one. I hear that there are two...

Moore Is At It Again-PART 1

Thu, 11 Nov 2004 00:38:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - I vowed to myself that I would never see another Michael Moore documentary after Bowling for Columbine. He pieces things together so that his audience will come to his side, even though people say he’s objective. However, I didn’t buy...

This was fargin' funny!

Mon, 25 Oct 2004 23:15:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - Most satires, if they are not Leslie Neilsen/Zucker Brothers type, are not that good. The jokes are overly crude and/or it tries too hard to be funny. Johnny Dangerously is the exception. It is a satire on gangster movies set in the 1920s and early...
