Well actually, ever since Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve brought us the original (and still the best) superhero movie in 1978, they&#146ve been raking in vast amounts of cash... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~246070349444 Fri, 18 Aug 2006 08:58:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_246070349444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_224964677252?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author nsign - There are, I am sure, less appealing things in the world than another Exorcist sequel, but it's hard to think of any. It is certainly impossible to conceive of any need for two Exorcist sequels telling the same story within a year of each... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~224964677252 Fri, 9 Jun 2006 07:42:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_224964677252?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_222864903812?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nsign - The phrase "set and setting" was once a cornerstone of responsible LSD-fuelled head tripping, applied to the importance of where and with whom you decided to muse on the eternal verities of existence. Or, more likely, stare intently at a carpet for three... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~222864903812 Thu, 9 Mar 2006 12:30:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_222864903812?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_209023962756?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nsign - If, like me, you're in your twenties, I would hazard a guess that there are certain movies you harbour a strange nostalgic affection for, regardless of how well they may stand up critically today. Films such as Legend, maybe, and Labyrinth?... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~209023962756 Mon, 24 Oct 2005 12:29:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_209023962756?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_192421596804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nsign - I must begin this review with an admission that my knowledge of French cinema is not extensive. I've watched and enjoyed Patrice Leconte's L'Homme Du Train, and the sequence of Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources, all of which I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~192421596804 Thu, 20 Oct 2005 12:43:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_192421596804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_189616590468?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nsign - On 6th July 2005, Bob Geldof&#146s Live 8 concerts were beamed out across the world to an estimated (potential) audience of three billion people, many of whom will have found much of the proceedings to be typically lachrymose and simplistically... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~189616590468 Fri, 5 Aug 2005 13:00:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_189616590468?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_185342791300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nsign - Sequels, prequels, remakes, re-releases, "re-imaginings", comic adaptations - These are what now constitute the bulk of Hollywood's output, particularly over the summer months. Take a look at what's been coming off the blockbuster production line for the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~185342791300 Fri, 29 Jul 2005 11:42:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_185342791300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_186115133060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author nsign - There is a wearyingly familiar pattern whenever a new Oasis album is trundled out these days. The press releases invariably describe it as a &#147return to form&#148, eyes are rolled at the silly title, Liam Gallagher swaggers around carping on about how... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~186115133060 Wed, 15 Jun 2005 13:06:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_186115133060?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_175267810948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nsign - Some years ago, when asked who he would like to interview, Bob Dylan replied, "I'd like to interview people who died leaving a great unsolved mess behind, who left people for nothing to do for ages but speculate". Which is how, we all presumed,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~175267810948 Wed, 25 May 2005 10:31:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_175267810948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154928385668?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author nsign - There can be few directors who polarize critical opinion like Oliver Stone. One the one hand some people will tell you he's a film-making genius exposing the dark secrets and deep corruption at the heart of the American dream, while others regard him as... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154928385668 Wed, 15 Dec 2004 06:15:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154928385668?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_163508752004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nsign - They're back to save the world. And a grim place it has become, too. Illegal wars rage in the Middle East, a Bible-thumping cowboy is once again the leader of the western world, famine and disease sweep through Africa like an Old Testament plague, and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~163508752004 Thu, 2 Dec 2004 13:47:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_163508752004?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_159572528772?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nsign - It's not too unfair to say that once you've seen one werewolf movie, you've seen them all. Let's face it, the whole concept is pretty silly, and most movies stick pretty rigidly to a set formula: Man gets bitten by wolf, man grows hair and fangs during a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~159572528772 Wed, 24 Nov 2004 12:57:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_159572528772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_161209355908?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author nsign - Your mother sucks cocks in hell. So I've heard anyway, but I don't believe everything I hear on the big screen. It's all made up, scurrilous nonsense, scripted by men in smoky rooms with overactive imaginations, who try to make us believe that dinosaurs... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~161209355908 Wed, 17 Nov 2004 09:08:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_161209355908?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_156291731076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nsign - The phrase "concept album" can often be enough to generate a mild bowel movement in many music fans, critics and bands. Ever since The Who and The Pretty Things pioneered the genre in the late sixties, there have been any number of bands eager to show us... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~156291731076 Sun, 17 Oct 2004 14:40:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_156291731076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_155160317572?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author nsign - There comes a point in every man's life ( and, not to discriminate here, every womans, aliens and half-breed christ-knows-what-it-is mutant thingy ) when you realize that nothing is sacred. Got a favourite song? It'll be used on a car ad or soft drinks... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~155160317572 Tue, 14 Sep 2004 11:53:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_155160317572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_152359046788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nsign - "So, we're a bit stuck are we, sir?"

The news was bafflingly greeted with lamentations and sorrow in the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~148811714180 Mon, 9 Aug 2004 10:05:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_148811714180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_143136362116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nsign - Ah, unneccesary sequels. Like death, taxes, the poor, and Michael Bolton, they will always be with us. From The Matrix trilogy, Terminator 3, the Alien series and any Eddie Murphy franchise, they continue to swamp the multiplexes... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~143136362116 Fri, 11 Jun 2004 07:32:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_143136362116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_138311995012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nsign - A couple of years ago I happened on a fairly famous Scottish book entitled "No Mean City".

Long days of sun and balmy evenings, barbecues and lying on a lawn with a glass of your favourite tipple, t-shirts and shorts, and a stereo happily playing your favourite tunes.
