While I might be described, somewhat overmuch, as a fan, I think that 90 percent of them are an absolute waste of time. Not even in the good, Ramboesque kind of pleasant way... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~325118955140 Sun, 25 Feb 2007 18:47:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_325118955140?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_208270560900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - I love fantasy. For the most part. I think it is probably the most creative, imaginative and challenging genre out there. Figh I say to those who dimiss it wholesale. Many of the greatest works of all time (The Odyssey, Inferno, Pilgrim's Progress,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~208270560900 Thu, 13 Oct 2005 12:15:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_208270560900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_197400432260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - There are books you choose to read. Ninety Nine percent of books fall into this category. These are all the blasé fiction, harlequin romances, cheap horror, over tragic short stories, and Spy Thrillers of the world. All of them are of greater or... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~197400432260 Fri, 30 Sep 2005 12:19:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_197400432260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_197101129348?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - In the whole course of Human History, only a few books of political and economic thought can be said to have been truly influential. Plato's Republic, Hobbe's Leviathan, Locke's Treatises…all of these books in one war or another have fundamentally... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~197101129348 Mon, 26 Sep 2005 12:26:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_197101129348?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_196697951876?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - As I was walking through the halls of hallowed Blackwell's bookstore (the happiest place on earth) I crossed around the Sci-Fi part of the Classics Section. I picked up a small horde of books, including this little number here written by Anthony Burgess... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~196697951876 Tue, 20 Sep 2005 12:26:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_196697951876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_196612886148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - Time to continue my reviews of classic books. Since I'm very interested in religion and the affect it has had on our world, I decided to pick this one. I'd heard a lot about it. Indeed, people who've never read a book in their life have probably heard... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~196612886148 Mon, 19 Sep 2005 12:20:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_196612886148?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_196319415940?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - While I was in the U.K, I happened to hear about a nice bookstore named Blackwell’s in Oxford. Having an endless love for literature, I decided to hop by and give it a try. Little did I know that m soul (and my wallet) would soon be sucked away by it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~196319415940 Thu, 15 Sep 2005 18:02:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_196319415940?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_196161736324?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - Anyone who knows me will know that I’m not exactly what you would call a horror freak. I think the slasher genre, with all of it’s “Halloweens” and “Nightmare on Elm Streets” is about the worst thing ever to happen to cinema. And I am firm in my belief... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~196161736324 Wed, 14 Sep 2005 10:16:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_196161736324?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_195698593412?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - I have returned! After a long, long, long, productive trip in Merry old England getting an English Credit, I have finally returned and am able to write again! To anyone who liked to read my work (I hope there are some of you) I am sorry for my long... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~195698593412 Fri, 9 Sep 2005 12:11:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_195698593412?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_184482434692?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - Anyone who has watched an Adam Sandler movie knows instantly what he is about. His comedies, which include such hits as Anger Management, Fifty First Dates, and Happy Gilmore, are often ravaged by critics, but do great business at the box office. And... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~184482434692 Fri, 27 May 2005 14:34:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_184482434692?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_184133652100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - Star Wars is undoubtedly one of the biggest franchises in moviedom. And with good reason. The original trilogy had it’s fair share of problems. But there was a magic, a spark to them, that few movies can compete with. No one had ever seen anything... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~184133652100 Mon, 23 May 2005 22:23:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_184133652100?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_182596439684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - Few genres appeal to me so much as the epic does. I love drama, and I love big action. The epic combines these two loves and basically puts them on steroids. Many of them rank among my favorite films of all time, including Spartacus, Braveheart and of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~182596439684 Sun, 8 May 2005 21:34:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_182596439684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_181901364868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - Many movies that are considered classics are great. Their special effects may be old; the plots may be dated, and so on. But they have a certain charm that lasts down through the ages, and continue to inspire people today. Their names are synonymous... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~181901364868 Mon, 2 May 2005 12:31:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_181901364868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_181185449604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - Every now and again, a film you never really ever thought of will come up, slap you in the face, and remind you why you love movies so much. Most of these times you never gave these films a second thought before that, picking them up just out of idle... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~181185449604 Mon, 25 Apr 2005 22:08:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_181185449604?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_180445548164?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - Every now and then, rather than pushing the boundary and trying to produce something new, Hollywood will just fall on the tired old philosophy. To make a quick and cheap buck, either do a sequel, or, failing that, a remake. Most of the times, both of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~180445548164 Mon, 18 Apr 2005 20:33:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_180445548164?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_180008160900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - Bruce Willis and the action movie go together like, well…, Chocolate and Cake. Their relationship has been going on for so long, we almost consider them one and the same. And like chocolate and cake, they almost always make for a delicious and tasty... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~180008160900 Thu, 14 Apr 2005 16:01:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_180008160900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_178965679748?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - I am increasingly becoming a big fan of Japanese animation. The quality of the images is superb, the storytelling is many miles ahead of what we have hear in good old North America, the characters are ones that you genuinely can love. And best of all,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~178965679748 Mon, 4 Apr 2005 22:39:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_178965679748?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_178295049860?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - Ah, Jack Nicholson. What a great actor he is. So full of energy and life, always giving it all in every roll he gets, even the bad ones. In the Shining and Batman he made us terrified and captivated us with his menace. In One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~178295049860 Tue, 29 Mar 2005 22:01:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_178295049860?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_177525591684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - I am so sorry. I know of late my number of reviews has been less than usual. A mere four in the month of February? Inexcusable. Unfortunately I was very busy and very sick throughout this period and so I hope you will forgive me. However, I can’t... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~177525591684 Tue, 22 Mar 2005 22:59:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_177525591684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_176227257988?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - David Cronenberg is and interesting director. From what I’ve heard his films all seem to focus almost exclusively on matters of the “flesh”. Crash, Videodrome and especially this movie, would certainly suggest to that common theme. Yes indeed, if it’s... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~176227257988 Thu, 10 Mar 2005 20:24:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_176227257988?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_173789712004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - So came the assignment. Read one book of Canadian fiction. And do a review of it. Hmmm. I’d read quite a bit of Canadian fiction in recent years. And for the most part I’ve been very disappointed. People in my country, despite living in one of the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~173789712004 Thu, 17 Feb 2005 22:07:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_173789712004?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_173762186884?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - Why, oh why do I never learn? Despite so many disappointments, so much pain, I continue to watch the slasher genre in the vain hope that I might one day find a film that is worthwhile. I seem to set myself up to be disappointment and pain, watching... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~173762186884 Thu, 17 Feb 2005 17:30:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_173762186884?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_173147917956?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - When I was a kid this movie dominated my childhood. From age 4-8 I watched it virtually every week without exception. It seemed to me to be the height of cinema. Then, when I started getting up there, I sadly shuffled it away along with most of the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~173147917956 Sat, 12 Feb 2005 14:19:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_173147917956?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_172634246788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - After going on an extended and very enjoyable vacation, I came back and was eager to get my hands on anything even remotely film related. In the mood for something in between a horror and a Drama, I saw this in my friend’s collection, and was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~172634246788 Mon, 7 Feb 2005 23:03:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_172634246788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_171206807172?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - We all like to pretend that we're snobs. When the newest James Bond or Sci-Fi movie comes out, and we hear children talking excitedly about it, we all snicker and sneer and talk about how we want to go see films like Closer and Ray. Then, we go to the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~171206807172 Wed, 26 Jan 2005 13:48:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_171206807172?linkin_id=8003929
