After two movies,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~433923526276 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 16:44:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_433923526276?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_433465101956?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author quitesimply - After watching the first Star Trek Movie (The Motion Picture) and being utterly disappointed, I did begin to re-watch the series.

The larger than life heroes that strolled about in them, fighting... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~433344843396 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 09:19:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_433344843396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_431986282116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author quitesimply - Will Smith plays a detective of the future in a world where cars are no longer manual, and the only gas powered ‘mobiles’ are the motorbikes used by the police. When the man who played a huge part in the design of Robots, that are now common ‘toys’ for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~431986282116 Fri, 30 May 2008 10:45:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_431986282116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_431882604164?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author quitesimply - On a perfect world that perhaps is similar to the Garden of Eden, a small community lives. They shun technology despite being intelligent and advanced, preferring to keep their planet idyllic.

The Fellowship of the Ring was excellent, setting the atmosphere perfectly. The Two Towers continued admirably, perhaps getting a little confusing, but still delivering a decent and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~428527423108 Fri, 2 May 2008 11:06:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_428527423108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_428427677316?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author quitesimply - OK so what is it about zombies?
