Harveys Lake Tahoe: Homer Simpson Ski Resort

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 01:44:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed -

Let me start by saying I have stayed at Harvey’s Lake Tahoe at least 4 times over the last 7 years. The reason is that one of my professional societies has a meeting there and for convenience sake I stay there rather than other...

Smooochie Boochies!!!!

Mon, 21 Jan 2002 03:36:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - My temptation is to on the one hand say everyone should see this movie, yet in the back of my mind, I say only Kevin Smith or true Jay fans should take a bite of this sinful apple. I loved this movie for the dumb silly schtick it holds itself out to be,...

Driven to Distraction

Tue, 15 Jan 2002 03:24:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - What a waste of time, talent, and effort. Driven is Rocky does sports car racing. Stallone at least gives a better effort as Rambo, Copland, or Daylight. It is pretty hard to turn race car driving into his usual metaphors for hard work. After all the car...

Dances with Elvis

Mon, 24 Dec 2001 03:02:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - What a wild Kitchy movie. Originally I saw the trailers and thought this was Elvis Reservoir Dogs. The previews show you the casino heist of the Elvis impersonators ala Costner and Russell. I thought that was the climax of the movie. Actually this is...

$10,000 for the film rights?

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed -

Lord of the Rings (LOR) is one of my all time favorite books. I read it as a teen and I like most LOR fans feel nothing comes close and all else is a copy of this original. That in mind, I had a hard time wanting to go to see this...

Homeland Security 101

Sat, 15 Dec 2001 19:32:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed -

Well many of the reviews here were PRE Sept 11th. How should we look at Pearl Harbor now after a repeat type of performance in New York. I have read some of the editor’s reviews here and agree with the

critiques of the plot...

HP and the Golden Screen

Sun, 2 Dec 2001 01:07:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - Having never read HP but only hearing about it vicariously through my 10 year old, our family went together to see the big screen version. I loved the movie for it's special effects and visual wizardry. My son felt much of the book had been left out, but...

Mixed music messages.

Sat, 1 Dec 2001 03:23:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - Storytellers classics is a DVD full of almost all great songs by great

artists. The stories are worth the price of admission alone. Let me give

you the playlist and then make some comments. The list includes:

Pete Townshend,Baba O’Riley,...

Who started that Fire? Not We!

Sat, 1 Dec 2001 03:00:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - Billy starts that hot rock fire in the house that Ruth built. He is a hometown boy living his dream in an uptown stadium hitting homeruns on all his hits you and I love.

The first few minutes show the pregame show with Billy giving thoughts about...

Snuffy Springer

Thu, 15 Nov 2001 00:53:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - Jerry Springer on speed! That is what this is all about, a talk show host gets to show a murder of a hero cop (DeNiro) on prime time after paying a pair of Cossack criminals a million dollars cash. Sounds unreal, it is hard to believe, but perhaps it...

Get's the Job Done

Mon, 12 Nov 2001 03:29:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - Monsters Inc is no Shreck! The point is important in that I think Disney got blindsided by Shreck’s success and tried to make up for the loss. As a kid’s film it does what it is supposed to do, entertain kids.

My 8 year old liked it. Just like a...

What do you take for a HADDOCK?

Thu, 8 Nov 2001 00:17:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - There is an old Marx Brother's joke what do you take for a Haddock, in this case this movie will give you a headache with all the action noise and excitement if played loud enough on home theater. What is the basic story hear. Heck if I know. Somewhere...

Trial by Fire

Sat, 3 Nov 2001 02:54:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - Recently I have taken to watching war movies in order to see what we can learn from the past so as not to repeat the errors. Isn't that what history is supposed to teach us all.

In Nuremberg the trial and the movie are one hour too long.

Oh if was only so easy like back in the good old days.

Sat, 27 Oct 2001 04:19:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - Although is may be hard to turn off cable news with all that is going on these days, this movie is well worth your time to contemplate what happens when war pushes your back against the wall. This is a splendid history docu-drama about the Cuban Missile...

Castle gets checkmated!

Tue, 23 Oct 2001 12:25:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - What can we learn here that applies to our current situation. Well remember they are using Hollywood writers to script new out of the box ideas for operation enduring freedom. The one line that really caught my attention was when Redford says, if you...

Father Knows Best!

Fri, 5 Oct 2001 03:51:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - I almost shut this off after the first 45 minutes nearly bored me to death. There is some improvement in the second half. The box advertises this as a fearful movie and the second half does have it’s moments.

Basic plot line is prepster(Nicole)...

Tired of CNN watch this!

Sun, 30 Sep 2001 01:35:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - Full Metal is a interesting movie to watch now that we are at War! The drill instructor’s script is fascinating to listen to if you review the current news. We often assume the enemy is hostile and animalistic. Watch how D.I.(Lee Ermey) drills these...

Bewildered?

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed -

For the older generation, remember the TV sit com, Love American Style, well this is a modern version.

The movie stars Brendan Frazier and Liz Hurley. Brendan is a geeky guy trying to improve his lot by making a bargain with the Devil. Liz...

Have you seen a stupid movie Billy Boy Billy Boy, have you seen a stupid movie dreadful Billy.

If you haven’t then you should, Billy Madison’s no good, waste and hour of your life dreadful Billy.

Catch of the Year!

Sun, 23 Sep 2001 02:39:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - Currently I live in Phoenix, but I have eaten in both the Las Vegas as well as my home town version of M & S. This is a superb fish restaurant, even more so considering both of these locations are in the desert. Sorry no sand crab jokes here. I have...

Worst of the Worst

Sun, 23 Sep 2001 02:16:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - I know I am going to take some hits on this one, but this by far has to be the worst Italian restaurant I have been to on multiple occasions. Yes, on the way home tonight the parking lot was full. There is no accounting for taste.

Hey, I grew up in...

Loud & Noisy

Sun, 23 Sep 2001 02:04:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - Hey, I grew up in New Jersey where Mom and Pop Italian cafe establishments were the best. Faghetaboutit! Nothing can compare to the love a small family style place can create. Unfortunately we live in the ersatz world and Bucco is an "trial" to simulate...

Not Lee's Best

Sun, 16 Sep 2001 03:24:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - This is one of Spike's weaker efforts. I love most of his movies. Do The Right Thing spectacular, Malcolm X tremendous, Bamboozled outrageous, Jungle Fever realistic, Crooklyn????

Sorry to dissapoint the hard core fans but I miss the punch in this...

Was it Worth the Waite???

Sat, 8 Sep 2001 02:01:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - Let me say that I am a DIE HARD John Waite fan. I have all his albums, videos and have seen him live so I am no novice to the Waite/Bad English/Baby's story. I preface my remarks with this in that without you might find my review ambivalent. It is hard...

Such a Wicked little CD!

Wed, 5 Sep 2001 03:11:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - It is almost impossible to split the movie from the soundtrack. Just as in Rocky Horror, Hedwig's music is great, has a wonderful beat and I can dance to it. I would give it a 99 in the Angry Inch All American Grandstand.

Let me say that I loved the...
