I Won't Play Girl To Your Boy No More

Sat, 16 Nov 2002 03:36:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author movielover123 - Right about the time that I was listening to this album, everyone around me was starting to refer to me as a feminist. I remember this man who said something about my ti-ts to two of my male co-workers (and friends). One of them thought they absolutely...

The Ever Maddening State of Carol Ledoux

Sat, 19 Oct 2002 01:25:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author movielover123 - I consider myself an open-minded spectator of the cinematic arts. I am also a discerning viewer - someone who isn't prone to fall for the latest Hollywood hype (or to even know the latest Hollywood hype, for that matter). I enjoy the strange,...

Revenge! Murder! Rape!

Tue, 15 Oct 2002 08:35:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author movielover123 - After watching first The Night of the Hunter (1955) and now Cape Fear, I get the impression Robert Mitchum was one bad a$$. I imagine he woke up to shots of whiskey and spent his days gambling at the track with loose women. I base this...

Good Housekeeping/Boring Life HTP Love Fest W/O

Fri, 7 Sep 2001 11:09:02 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author movielover123 - I don't know. Maybe I just got a particularly boring issue or maybe it's because I approach housekeeping as I do life - with reckless abandon. Hmmm, the garbage doesn't stink yet. I could probably pile a few more things on it... and, Does...

It's Only Rock n Roll, So Why Did People Die For It?

Mon, 3 Sep 2001 14:57:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author movielover123 - This documentary begins so much differently than it ends - it's hard to know where to start when it comes to this film. Gimme Shelter is the story of a huge rock n roll disaster. It was the end of the sixties and the beginning of the end of a...

Mon, 27 Aug 2001 11:00:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author movielover123 - Yesterday's visit to our little gem of an amusement park, Adventureland, left me with such a feeling of fondness for the place, only the weariness of spending nearly 11 hours on my feet and being flung and catapulted to new heights kept me from...

All Hail The Kings of Gothic Metal

Sat, 28 Jul 2001 19:06:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author movielover123 - I remember it as though it were only yesterday. Poor, sad little me. My adorable punk rock boy with whom I had spent many hours drinking, laughing, talking, and - well you know - to the sounds of Agnostic Front, Bad Brains, Husker Du, The Clash,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author movielover123 - Ever sit down to watch a movie and have absolutely no idea what it is about because someone else has selected it? Knowing only that it was starring Jack Nicholson and Karen Black, I had the pleasure of watching the incredibly moving and thought...

Sun, 8 Jul 2001 01:35:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author movielover123 - When we decided to go check out Kansas City for a long weekend, I decided that I should probably make hotel reservations prior to leaving town. Yup, always thinking, that's me. It is summer - baseball season and KC is home to Worlds of Fun and...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author movielover123 - For some ungodly reason, I volunteered to help out on the Boys and Girls Club of Central Iowa's trip to the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska.

Wed, 20 Jun 2001 18:13:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author movielover123 - After being run into for the third time in six months this past December, my car was finally declared totaled. It was a mixed blessing. I felt like my 92 Chevy Corsica had a bulls-eye on it and it was beginning to look like a serious piece of crap, but...

Gerald's Game - Stephen King

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author movielover123 - I read a lot of Stephen King in high school, but had sort of moved on and out of the horror genre by the time I reached adulthood. If memory serves me, the last King novel I read prior to this was It, but after reading a review of this, I was...

Sat, 2 Jun 2001 01:53:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author movielover123 - Just to set the record straight, and to serve as a disclaimer of sorts, I do not assert myself to be a musical expert in any way! I do not know the principles of composition, read music, or play a musical instrument with any sort of proficiency. I...

Smooth, Clear Skin At Last (Updated 1/10/04)

Mon, 21 May 2001 12:25:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author movielover123 - I had what I would consider a moderate case of acne (definitely more than mild, but not serious enough for my physician to refer me on to a dermatologist) that I have been unsuccessfully treating for the past seven years. I am not a teenager, I am 32...

Fri, 18 May 2001 02:19:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author movielover123 - Though not considered their best, this is the interesting, final studio release of a very troubled, sixties psychedelic band. Austin, Texas natives the 13th Floor Elevators formed in 1965 and recorded the single Your Gonna Miss Me which...

Pollock: The Man, The Myth, The Drippings

Tue, 20 Mar 2001 04:40:27 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author movielover123 - This could have been a great movie - this was a very exciting time in American art. During WWII, the artists and art lovers of that era were fleeing Europe which was the hotbed of modern art, particularly Paris, and seeking refuge from Hitler in New...

Baby Doll (Caroll Baker, Karl Malden, Elia Kazan, Tennessee Williams)

Sat, 10 Mar 2001 21:16:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author movielover123 - Set in 1950's Mississippi, the surroundings and home in which a great deal of this film takes place are bleak and convincing. The characters develop nicely and are well acted, though certainly not endearing. I had a hard time "rooting" for anyone in...
