Way to Scary for Kids

Sat, 19 Aug 2006 11:37:15 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - I am rather upset with Hanna-Barbara. The whole point of Scooby Doo is to show kids that there is a reason behind everything, so that they DON'T have to be scared. It's always a machine, or a guy in a suit, or a projector. There are no real monsters...

Titan Quest for Windows: Awesome Game...if you have an awesome computer (and I don't)

Wed, 12 Jul 2006 21:52:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - For the short time I could stand the terrible frame rate, blurry graphics, and impossible to hit creatures since the computer would only register my mouse moves two second after I made them, this game seemed great. Beautiful world, large variety of...

Dull Factor 10!!!!

Wed, 26 Jul 2000 18:06:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - Did they just make this movie up as they went along? I would swear that this film was just some summer project the cast and crew threw together one month when they had nothing better to do. The plot is, amazingly, straightforward yet difficult to...

What is this swill?!?

Wed, 19 Jul 2000 23:42:31 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - This has to be the stupidest fantasy movie ever made, with the most implausible plot, most uninteresting fights, and most terrible pacing in the history of film making. A few points I need to make:

1. You cannot become fluent in a language...

Blazing Dragons for PlayStation 1: Aimless Wandering!!!

Sun, 16 Jul 2000 16:26:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - Maybe I'm an idiot, but I could no where with this game. I just wandered around talking to people again and again, even though they kept saying the exact same things. After a few hours my mind kept drifting to other things I could be doing that were...

Minus the Excitement!!!

Wed, 12 Jul 2000 17:50:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - This could have been a really interesting drama, instead it was just dull. The people involved let the story of this town and the family "Vann" moves in with take away from the plot of the killer. I don't care about little town bliss and...

A really Great book!!!

Tue, 11 Jul 2000 13:52:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - Though I like the movie version, this book is really so much better and in many ways different that you really must read this book if you liked the movie. I'm rather glad I saw the movie first because I might have been disappointed in the movie had I...

Staring!!!

Tue, 11 Jul 2000 13:42:53 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - This movie is all about staring. Yep, that's right, over half the movie is comprised of shots of people staring at stuff that isn't actually there. In the first one there were a few of these staring shots as well, but then the camera turned around to...

Homage to worried looks!!!

Sat, 8 Jul 2000 18:00:24 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - I can sum up this movie in two words: looking worried. Yep, this movie is comprised of numerous shots of people looking worried. Worried about depth charges, Germans, rank advancement, or just a general sense of worry. There is really very little...

Merlin is rolling in his cave!

Fri, 7 Jul 2000 21:13:43 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - This is by far the stupidest Arthur interpretation that I have ever read. Things just happen for no reason at all, very little is explained, all the plot points work out is a totally contrived manner, and the writing is dull. Why did I even bother...

Experience the horrors of tedium!!!

Fri, 7 Jul 2000 16:53:20 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - This movie is the film equivalent of Chinese water torture; it's painful, long, tedious, and never seems to end! I was expected another "Saving Private Ryan", though probably not as good because that movie is so incredible it is hard to top...

Davis, Lindsey: This Series is Incredible!!!

Thu, 29 Jun 2000 02:22:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - This is the best mystery series I have ever read!!! Not only are the characters great and interesting, the plots always engrossing, but also the history of the period is flawless. I love these book so much that I actually put off reading them until I...

Torment aboard the S.S "Dull as watching Paint Dry"

Thu, 29 Jun 2000 02:09:53 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - Look out E.T.!!! A spaceship filled with boredom is heading towards you, spewing cheesy dialogue and contrived drama!!! If this movie actually were a mission to mars its conversation with Houston would sound something like this:

MTM:...

Was there a Script?

Thu, 29 Jun 2000 00:43:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - Did anyone else get the feeling that, not only was there no working script when they shot this film, but that the actors were all filmed at different times in different places and just matted together later? I swear if you watch this movie closely you...

Hauntingly Present

Thu, 29 Jun 2000 00:31:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - While some would say this book is about the ultimate struggle between man and the general confusion of the world I think this goes much deeper. Written in a time of war and strife (1914-15) I think that this book was more personal than esoteric. We...

A movie so vague its mist!!!

Sun, 25 Jun 2000 18:03:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - The film with dialogue provided by Boggle™. Yes, that's right, if you see this movie you will agree that in order to get such random, unconnected, pointless dialogue, the actors must have shaken a game of Boggle™ right before the camera started rolling...

Dull, Dull, Dull!!!

Sun, 25 Jun 2000 18:00:19 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - I really expect only one thing from an action movie, and that is ACTION!!! That is why I hated this movie, because it was so incredibly dull. I should have known better, and would have, if I had seen that it was written by Mamet. He can write some...

United Kingdom: Britrail: The only choice

Sun, 25 Jun 2000 16:40:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - Britrail is excellent. During my stay in England as a foreign exchange student I traveled often. If I had been at home without a car (my home being Southern California) I would have been jacked. But in England I could go almost anywhere I wanted to go...

A Masterpiece of the 20th Century

Sat, 24 Jun 2000 16:19:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - This is one of the greatest novels of the 20th century, and a powerful view of apartheid South Africa during the height of white power. The story follows a reverend as he goes to the big city in search of his son. There he finds his son, but only too...

If you like being cursed at...

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 18:16:52 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - I could have gone to Hollywood Blvd and had the crazy people scream obscenities at me for a couple of hours, and it would have cost me less and had the same effect. God, this movie was lame. The entire premise was: We can't swear on regular TV so lets...

This Movie Sucks, Literally!!!

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 17:37:18 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - This movie bites, and not in a good way. Brought to you by John "Hit and Miss" Carpenter is this terrible horror film which claims to be about Vampires. Funny thing is the vampires in question rarely ever do any vampire activities. Do they...

Alien meets Hellraier meets Dung!!!

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 15:54:18 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - What is evil? It's a giant metal sphere filled with black tar. This movie answers many questions, like; Is evil a gas or a solid? Is contrived Latin use a good vehicle for mystery? Is ripping out your eyes painful or actually a lot of fun? Can I...

Star Wars Episode 1:The Phantom Menace 1999: You Ruined the Purity of my childhood, Lucas!!!

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 15:25:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - This film is almost as pathetic as I, who paid to see it twice in the theatre then bought this dung on video. I can't say why I did exactly, I recognized the badness of this film in the theatre, both times. And yet I cannot stop myself, I am a fan and...

Swill!!!

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 11:43:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - Note: If you give away the mystery in the first thirty minutes of the film then that really destroys any real suspense you might have had. Thus is the case with this "Will it never end?" film starring Cage as seen by dozens of camera. Before...

The best Hamlet ever!!!

Thu, 22 Jun 2000 21:14:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - This is without a doubt the best version of Hamlet currently available. If you are looking to see a version that is true to the spirit of Shakespeare's play, keeping intact all major plot points and social undercurrents as seen in the original play then...
