Try sexcrime. You wouldn't like goodsex.

Sun, 30 Apr 2000 03:50:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author piece_007 - Imagine a utopia in which you can be watched constantly. A paradise where you are trained to not think. A place where the Ministry of Peace is the Department of Defense. A society in which children are taught doublethink. A language who's...

A grave comedy

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 17:36:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author piece_007 - The film starts with 3 flatmates interviewing potential new flatmates. Of course, anyone they don't instantly like they harass until the person leaves. Eventually, after going through the belittling of about 10 hopeful, unsuspecting people, a fourth...

A fishy tale

Wed, 15 Mar 2000 15:40:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author piece_007 - Cannery Row is a great book. A classic from the day it was written to some point far in the future. Actually, that's true of almost all of John Steinbeck's books. You'll be hard pressed to find one which is not a masterpiece, if such a thing exists.

SICK 8mm 'film'

Sun, 5 Mar 2000 13:12:17 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author piece_007 - I found the film repulsive. The subject matter was extreme underground hard core. To be honest I felt slightly sick after watching.

The reason I saw the film was because my dad bought it on DVD and, naturally, I watch pretty much any...

Shooting Fish in a Barrel (of Laughs)

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 13:34:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author piece_007 - I rented this video one weekend because it looked to be quite good. I was wrong. It was brilliant. I spent a lot of time laughing at the scams they pulled off, and even more with my heart in my throat waiting for them to be caught red-handed.

Simpsons, The: The Simpsons is moral.

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 07:22:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author piece_007 - The Simpsons are Great. And I do agree with Jannie0 that The Simpsons is not a cartoon show for young kids. BUT I disagree with the rating she has given. The Simpsons is a classic cartoon show and should be recognised as such. It should be rated on it's...

Just goin' for a pee, might be some time.

Fri, 3 Mar 2000 09:44:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author piece_007 - Not a standard King novel, it still evokes feelings of fear. And not the usual King fears either, these are based upon a natural fear. Who isn't afraid if they get lost in woods with virtually no end?

The story is based upon a little girl,...

Stand By The Body

Wed, 1 Mar 2000 16:04:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author piece_007 - A fantastic film based on the story 'The Body' by Stephen King. It is a film of the same ilk as 'The Shawshank Redemption' with the development of a stronger self as a mainstay to the plot.

The four boys form a gang of misfits in a small US...

A Complete Guide to Dubai (almost)

Mon, 28 Feb 2000 17:35:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author piece_007 - I have lived in Dubai for the last 2 years, so I know the place quite well. This is my attempt to give you a COMPLETE guide to Dubai, whether you want to visit, or have to move here because of your job.

Virtually good

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 07:21:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author piece_007 - Based on the book by Stephen King, the Lawnmower Man is a science-fiction film about the possibilities of virtual reality, with the standard moral issues about it being used for military purposes, or for the good of mankind. It isn't a great film. But if...

As if anyone'll read this...ever.

Mon, 21 Feb 2000 10:17:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author piece_007 - As Neo says, "Woah." What a film! How can you beat it? I mean people with guns, leather trenchcoats, cool sunglasses, AND being upside down whilst being shot at. Ever seen anything like it? NO, you haven't. NOONE had.

I saw this...

Snowboarding in Val D'Isere

Wed, 16 Feb 2000 07:58:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author piece_007 - Val D'Isere is one of the best known ski resorts in Europe, if not the world. And deservedly so, it is reknowned for the numbers of celebrities who have visited, and for the guaranteed snow. It has even snowed in August, but not enough to ski on...

True story.

Mon, 14 Feb 2000 08:33:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author piece_007 - A book to stun your mind. If you think you know about the Holocaust, think again and read this book. This book is not for the faint-hearted, and certainly shocks the reader. But it is also touching and throws light on some of the events which transpired...

Overall Certification: Shark Diving with PADI

Thu, 3 Feb 2000 12:22:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author piece_007 - I've been diving since 1994, when I qualified as an Open Water Diver. It was a fantastic experience. The freedom that scuba gives you to move underwater is incredible and you hardly need to concern yourself with gravity, as you are neutrally buoyant.

Awake or Asleep?

Thu, 3 Feb 2000 10:00:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author piece_007 - I loved the book. Need I say more? Well, yes, actually. So, the book goes far beyond what any normal person could dream of into the realms of fantasy and what defines life span. But in a way that makes it seem as though it might be believable.

...

Only the truth.

Thu, 3 Feb 2000 09:44:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author piece_007 - All the other reviews of this book say it's good/great. I don't disagree, in fact I strongly support the great opinion. But I think there is more to the book than it just being a great story. It not only has a story but also an insight to human nature...

Unfunny film

Fri, 31 Dec 1999 10:53:35 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author piece_007 - Okay, so there are more famous stars in the film than you can shake a stick at, and there are some good graphics. But do you really want to watch a comedy with no humor?

The plot is old and has been reused many, many, many times...why use it...
