From Anthony Anderson's performance, to the lack of effort put towards the characters and the story, especially the robots Transformers 1 was a lot of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~475681820292 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 19:36:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_475681820292?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_463096090244?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - When I first read the graphic novel about 4 years ago I rather liked it. It was a very interesting idea, showing superhereos interact with history, and popular culture. When I saw a movie was being made about a year and a half after I read it I thought... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~463096090244 Sat, 7 Mar 2009 17:21:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_463096090244?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_457413987972?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - Revolutionary Road is one of the highest profile oscar contenders this year. With all three key players, star DiCaprio, leading lady Winslett, and director Mendes all being Oscar favorites of the past since all of them have one or more Best Picture... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~457413987972 Sun, 11 Jan 2009 07:15:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_457413987972?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_454201675396?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - "Frost/Nixon" always looked to be one of the heavy weights when it came to this year's oscar season. It's a historical, non-fiction film about a very controverisal and interesting man. That added together pretty much equals oscar contender, but nothing... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~454201675396 Mon, 8 Dec 2008 05:26:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_454201675396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_454085217924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - Since "Milk" first started getting a little buzz this past summer as it was shown in a few "Fall Movie Preview" article's in various entertainment magazine's caught my attention with Penn in the lead role and Van Sant directing. I didn't quite know what... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~454085217924 Sun, 7 Dec 2008 06:36:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_454085217924?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_452383379076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - Nothing about "Slumdog Millionaire" seemed all that interesting. The plot is very odd, centering around the true story of a very poor boy who had no education somehow winning a game show through knowledge from his past experiences. It doesn't sound bad,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~452383379076 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 05:57:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_452383379076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_452345237124?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - "Quantum of Solace" is likely the most anticipated Bond film in decades. "Casino Royale" had some people excited because of the new crew that had stepped in to try and save the series from possible extinction because of the past few Bond's lacking a lot... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~452345237124 Sat, 22 Nov 2008 20:40:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_452345237124?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_451734507140?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - "Bolt" will naturally be competing for the #1 spot next weekend with teenybopper favorite, "Twilight" and rightfully so. It's had a solid marketing campaign, and it has the same wide appeal as other films like Madagascar 2, just without the sequel pull... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~451734507140 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 22:30:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_451734507140?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_450333347460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - Now that I own this on DVD and have seen it several times I can say that Kevin Smith is a guy that makes some of the very most rewatchable films of all time. He writes in such a way that seems to make things just as enjoyable each time around. His cheesy... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~450333347460 Wed, 5 Nov 2008 04:57:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_450333347460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_449271729796?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - I just recently heard about this little Swedish film within the past two weeks. I watched the trailer online, but did not see it anywhere else and thought it looked extremely interesting. After seeing the spectacular reviews it's been getting I had to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~449271729796 Sun, 26 Oct 2008 20:16:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_449271729796?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_447779868292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - "Body of Lies" never had particularly eye catching trailers in terms of content, however the film always caught my eye anyway because of the talent behind it. Ridley Scott is not a director that's perfect by any means. He's mostly hit but sometimes miss... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~447779868292 Mon, 13 Oct 2008 05:09:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_447779868292?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_447463263876?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - While many of you will likely be befuddled over my title I'm sure it will make plenty of sense as you read on. Flash of Genius is one of those movies that looked as though it had the potential to be a brilliant oscar contender. It seemed to take such a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~447463263876 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 04:43:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_447463263876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_447339728516?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - The western genre happens to be one of my absolute favorites so Appaloosa seemed to be getting solid reviews and I love Mortensen, and Harris is a great actor, while being a pretty strong director as well. Naturally all of this easily got me out to the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~447339728516 Thu, 9 Oct 2008 02:31:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_447339728516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_444992491140?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - "Fargo" sits high up on my all time favorite list and the Coen's have not made anything close to the quality of it until "No Country" came out. That came close, but it didn't quite reach the level of originality of "Fargo". The advertisements for "Burn... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~444992491140 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 03:06:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_444992491140?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_407931555460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - "No Country For Old Men" was one of those movies that I was dying to see from the second that I saw the trailer back in early summer. Then I read the early reviews coming out of Cannes and I was totally psyched after that, and I couldn't wait for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~407931555460 Sat, 17 Nov 2007 06:07:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_407931555460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_405682491012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - To be honest, I wasn't really even looking forward to "Michael Clayton" after seeing the trailer. I only went because I had a free ticket and after seeing it's average critic rating I figured it was worth checking out. I was shocked when the credit's... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~405682491012 Tue, 16 Oct 2007 03:11:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_405682491012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_405545979524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - Some movies are just flat out bad. Others are just dissapointing. Then there are movies that are bad that think they are good and because these movies think they're good they just end up being labled as contrived and annoying. "We Own The Night" is one... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~405545979524 Sun, 14 Oct 2007 06:25:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_405545979524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_404518375044?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - I was first interested in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" (Let's call it "Assassination" for short) since I saw the first teaser trailer over a year ago in some random summer 2006 movie...

Scarlett is gourgeous and everyone knows that, but I find Thora to be equally attractive in a more odd... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~404040224388 Mon, 24 Sep 2007 22:23:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_404040224388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_403959877252?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - I don't think I've ever seen an actress have sex this many times in the first 20 or so minutes of a movie, ever...

Something about "Across the Universe" is oddly likeable. Whether it's the mostly amazing style, or the sparatic pacing of the film that kind of oddly works I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~403935825540 Sun, 23 Sep 2007 20:33:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_403935825540?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_403566530180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - Walking out the exit at the movie theater I was just thinking... "Well it wasn't bad... but it really wasn't all that great either..." "The Brave One" is decent in pretty much every way, but it does have a few things going for it. I think the movie gets... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~403566530180 Wed, 19 Sep 2007 01:51:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_403566530180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_403483889284?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - I walked out with a smile across my face, thinking something like "welcome back westerns, welcome back." This is a movie that's totally worthy of being the first of several movies that should all bring back the western in style. It's old school, but... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~403483889284 Tue, 18 Sep 2007 02:50:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_403483889284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_403483168388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author movieman9000 - Walking out of this movie I looked at my two friends that I saw it with and we all agreed that this was a pretty kick-*** flick, and I think it's a sure shot that everyone in the crowd agreed as well due to the fact that by the end of the movie people... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~403483168388 Tue, 18 Sep 2007 02:35:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_403483168388?linkin_id=8003929
