rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio -

Thu, 5 Dec 2002 23:14:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - The Ring was probably one of the most anticipated films for me this year. It is a remake of a very famous Japanese film, "Ringu" that broke many box office records in that country. There have already been sequels to the film in Japan and probably due to...

Tue, 8 Jan 2002 23:55:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - When I first heard the title "In The Bedroom" I thought to myself "hm sounds like an independent porn film" I then noticed how many great reviews it was getting from some of the top reviewers. I often enjoy independent films and find it a shame that they...

Fri, 4 Jan 2002 01:38:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - Vanilla Sky is a remake of the 1997 spanish film, Abre Los Ojos which means open your eyes. It is interesting that that title reminds me of Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut" and it turns out that Vanilla Sky has the same feel to it. I had seen that...

THE BIRDCAGE : Nothing Special In This Cage

Mon, 3 Sep 2001 21:24:01 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - In my last review I wrote about racism. This film is about homosexuality. It's another hot topic that probably will never be solved. My take on it is like some others in that I feel that I dont agree with it but as long as it's kept to oneself I'm ok...

Sat, 1 Sep 2001 20:05:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - Time and time again these days, one of the biggest issues I hear talked about is racism.

Wed, 29 Aug 2001 22:25:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - It's amazing to think of this world and its vast history. So many wars, inventions, and explorers have been part of this world.

Amihotornot: Are you HOT or are you NOT?

Sat, 25 Aug 2001 20:17:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - The first time I heard about hotornot, I thought it was a good idea for a website, but on the other hand a bad idea because people's feeling may get hurt by it. Too many of us judge each other by looks and I guess this was not going to make things better...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - Well, isn't this interesting.... my small college is actually listed on epinions.

Wed, 22 Aug 2001 22:48:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - Stanley Kubrick is one of my favorite directors. Its ironic too since I don't always like to see violence and sex used in movies just to promote them. Yet when Kubrick uses these, he knows how to treat them, and there seems to be a reason for them...

Sun, 19 Aug 2001 20:30:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - I saw "The Spanish Prisoner" again late last night for the second time after having seen it two years ago.

Mon, 13 Aug 2001 22:32:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - The protagonist is a word I learned early on in English class. Protagonist means leading figure in a work of drama.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - Whoa! Your telling me I can write about singles from my favorite band? This is too cool. I was surprised to find these listed at epinions.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - This is the kind of cd writer I'd recommend to a first time user. It's design is made in such a way that it's very simple to understand.

Fri, 10 Aug 2001 23:28:36 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - It used to be that studios would make movies in trilogies. Many of the great movies... Star Wars, Back to the Future, are made in three parts.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - As we reach the 21st century, we are getting to a time where filmmaking is now a process that has gone on for many years.

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 23:40:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - Lately it seems suspense has turned into someone chasing someone else with a knife or something involving a car chase scene.
