I was hoping to see Sigourney Weaver con an alien.

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 22:37:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - I went to see this film for one reason and one reason alone: Sigourney Weaver. Not that I'm a fan of hers or anything, but last year I watched (for the very first time) all of the Alien movies and loved them. I enjoyed Weaver as the main character, but...

Tormented sexuality, death, ghosts.... this book has it all!

Wed, 6 Dec 2000 18:32:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - Recently, I had to write an essay on a novel for one of my University English courses, Literature of Fear and Suspence.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - Before even thinking of watching "The Talented Mr. Ripley", I read the novel by Patricia Highsmith that the film was based on. I loved the book. I actually wrote a review of it here at Epinions. I gave it five stars. The novel is a psychology...

Blair Witch 2: This is my kind of movie!

Mon, 30 Oct 2000 17:16:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - I am not very pleased with the negative ratings that "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2" is getting here at Epinions.com. It's understandable that there will be those who hate any given film, those who are indifferent about it, and those who love...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - Approprately nicknamed the "Bubblegum Album" The Doors' third release, Waiting for the Sun leaves listeners waiting to hear the Doors that they know and love, and will enevitably be disappointed. Don't get me wrong here: I have always...

Wed, 25 Oct 2000 16:52:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - Morrison Hotel is a come-back album. The Doors had gone through a 'dry' spell before releasing this, their second last, record. Prior to the release of Morrison Hotel, The Doors were exploring different sounds (the previous Soft...

"Possessions reminded him that he existed..."

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 19:04:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - I've never seen the film adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith. Based on the things that I've heard, I'm glad that I got the chance to read the book before actually watching the film. Therefore, there will be no references to...

Creating a Legend.

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 01:28:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - My boyfriend insisted that I watch "Highlander". If it hadn't been for that, I'm not sure if I would have watched this movie or not. I had known about the story behind it, since he had already explained it to me, and because I had caught...

You either hate it or love it.

Sun, 15 Oct 2000 17:33:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - Did you know that the 'Golden Arches' is more recognized around the globe than the Christian Cross? And that Ronald McDonald is the most recognizable figure around the world? I was rather surprised to hear these statements. It's obvious that McDonald's...

Were Families REALLY Like This Back Then??

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 01:44:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - "All in the Family" is a completely new sitcom for me. Growing up, I never had cable. I had never even heard of the show before. Maybe because all of the adults around me didn't want to talk about it because they were offended by it...

Not One Less Lacks Absolutely Nothing

Mon, 9 Oct 2000 23:02:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - Not One Less (Yi Ge Dou Bu Neng Shao in China) is not a film that I would have ever gone out of my way to see on a big screen. The only reason that I did go to see it is because it is one of the films that we will be studying in my...

They Use You and Then Throw You Away...

Sun, 8 Oct 2000 21:08:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - Almost Famous is the ultimate coming of age/love story for those of us who are in love with the 70s rock scene but missed it by an entire decade. With a degree of uncertainty on my part, it can be speculated that those who did have to...

Communication With The Devil or Just Good Clean Fun?

Tue, 3 Oct 2000 23:29:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - This is a highly controversial -- dare I say touchy -- item to be writing about, which I will try to handle as best I can. I'd like outright state that this is simply my views on the Ouija Board. I have no intentions of changing anyone else's views on...

Who the heck doesn't think Super Grover rocks?

Mon, 2 Oct 2000 16:16:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - I grew up watching Sesame Street. My mother grew up watching Sesame Street. It's amazing when any show can fill in a generation gap like that, being loved and watched by one generation as with the next. Nowadays, it's especially impressive due to...

Summoning the Dragon

Thu, 28 Sep 2000 23:26:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - I'm not much into Japenese animation like some of my friends are. As a kid, I loved Astroboy (what kid who grew up in the 80's didn't like Astroboy, anyway?), later one I casually watched and enjoyed Sailor Moon, and once I got to University I discovered...

The Sex Pistols: Oh So Pretty

Mon, 25 Sep 2000 23:54:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - I love watching documentaries. I've always thought that they are so educational and interesting, even if you have little or no interest in who or what is being discussed. It's only human nature to be curious and interested in the journeys that others...

Very Hollow Indeed.

Mon, 25 Sep 2000 18:31:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - It's strange that with many things, there can never be any sort of a happy medium. I find that this holds true much of the time for Hollywood released movies. If one aspect of the movie is lacking, for example in content and story, the director feels it...

I put a spell on you.

Wed, 20 Sep 2000 11:17:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - I never got to see Stir of Echoes in theatre, and, after having seen it on video, I regret not having seen it on the big screen. Movies are always better on the big screen. This one is great on watching it at home on a tiny television set. Seeing...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - I just bought Princess Barbie today. I had been interested in getting another Barbie doll and continuing my collection which thus far only includes two dolls, and this one looked to be the most pretty of them all.

Princess Barbie has very...

2 stars... only because she's Barbie

Tue, 19 Sep 2000 19:40:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - I'm a 19 year old university student and last year I asked for a Barbie for Christmas.

Alright, alright, perhaps I'm a bit old to be receiving this sort of a gift, but I didn't want a Barbie doll so that I could brush her hair and make her...

I had to love it!

Tue, 19 Sep 2000 01:01:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - I was born in December of 1980 in Nova Scotia, Canada. Thus, being one of the many children in Canada who grew up during the late 80's and early 90's, it was necessary for me to absolutely love the Degrassi series. Almost everyone my age will simply...

A little known must-own album.

Wed, 13 Sep 2000 19:51:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - I love this album.

I am one of the very few people who I know that loves the Pixies. As shocking as it may seem, I am one of the very few people I know who have even HEARD of the Pixies. Which really is too bad. Because this band rocks.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - It's about time that a band like Kittie should come along.

I don't think that I will be able to say anything in this review that hasn't been said before. After all, there have been 45 opinions written about this CD. Interestingly enough, there...

A very off-the-wall film.

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 15:35:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - I do not want to write this review with the intention of leading to believe that I completely understood what this film is about. I don't really know what the exact message of this movie is (and I'm positive that there is a huge one). All that I know is...

Spears, Britney: She drives me crazy!

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 19:21:32 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author melanierose - I guess that it is to be expected that a fan of Marilyn Manson like myself would dislike Britney Spears. This is another stereotype that should not exist -- just because you like one specific genre of music does not limit you to just that genre. I must...
