More than once, these two films have received comparisons. Why? That, I can't tell you. Other than the fact that both movies take place during the second World War (and both were '98 Oscar... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1964609156 Thu, 4 Jan 2001 19:44:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/mvie-review-63CA-50BB006B-3A54EAA8-prod6?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/webs-review-7674-BC2E92D-3948FCFE-prod2?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nellswell - I've always been, dare I say ... intrigued by the idea of homelessness. I remember watching a documentary about this issue back in sixth grade; that film, along with the Phil Collins song "Another Day in Paradise", inspired me to write... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~776935 Thu, 15 Jun 2000 14:20:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/webs-review-7674-BC2E92D-3948FCFE-prod2?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-53A8-489EA4A-38DAA0D5-prod6?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nellswell - One Simple Word, the Connells' 1990 followup to their spectacular 1989 release Fun and Games, follows in the same musical footsteps as its predecessor. It might not be *quite* as good as Fun and Games, but that doesn't mean One... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1032516 Thu, 23 Mar 2000 20:04:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-53A8-489EA4A-38DAA0D5-prod6?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/mvie-review-6C62-436C607-38D5A78E-prod5?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author nellswell - I highly doubt that the director of 1999's Baby Geniuses, Bob Clark, intended for his film to be well-loved or even taken seriously. I'll give Clark the benefit of the doubt and assume he *intentionally* set out to make a Bad Movie -- and a Bad... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1116741 Mon, 20 Mar 2000 02:01:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/mvie-review-6C62-436C607-38D5A78E-prod5?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/mvie-review-1CEB-51C7BB-38C96C68-prod4?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nellswell - "Slums of Beverly Hills" (an independent film directed by newcomer Tamara Jenkins) DOES include several arguably gratuitous sex jokes and the like, but really, it's not much worse than anything you would find in a Judy Blume book.

I'm not saying those are *bad* bands ... quite the contrary! But the Connells (whose name rhymes with... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1040449 Tue, 1 Feb 2000 22:03:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-7D3D-2725B5C-389780F1-prod2?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/cmd-review-49F-1E6F051-38961A58-prod5?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nellswell - The Hunger Site is one of those phenomenons that I might never have discovered had it not been for Epinions.com.

I never *hated* it though, and a large reason I was able to overrule my feelings of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1042444 Wed, 26 Jan 2000 01:45:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-C31-83880A-388E7888-bd3?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-6570-1733BB2F-388AAEF3-prod3?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nellswell - For the curious, the title of this review is the phrase that spawned the title of this album. Get it? Neither do I. But should you get the CD? MOST DEFINITELY!!! Wilco is a band that didn't impress me much with their debut album ... then I began to like... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1043579 Sun, 23 Jan 2000 04:57:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-6570-1733BB2F-388AAEF3-prod3?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-7A8-16A33B9A-38893D0B-prod3?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author nellswell - Oh, please.

I would forgive him (and his band) for that if he was a good musican.
