London Fields is a novel

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 03:05:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author s_clover - This is not a review of London Fields. This is a "key" to the central metaphoric conceit of the novel, and by implication to the method by which Amis' writing functions as a whole.

But if you do want a review, it is this: Amis is a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author s_clover - Ferlinghetti found a pennycandystore beyond the El in Chicago. That's where he first fell in love with unreality. & his poems were where I first started to really like those word things, but in Chicago all I found beneath the El, right by DePaul...

On the Decline of the Great American Teen Film and further discourse on related themes

Thu, 16 Dec 1999 06:24:01 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author s_clover - Every so often a film comes along which so repels every fiber of my being that I am thrown into an existential crisis. Never Been Kissed is such a film. To peel back and explain such a repellant item, I am forced to think about the culture which produced...

The Limey is A Film

Thu, 2 Dec 1999 16:57:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author s_clover - This is a good film.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author s_clover - So I get home after my first classes and have some time on my hands, which I then tend to spend on A&E. A&E has good daytime programming, under the heading "Daybreaks" which always makes me think of that song by The Stone Roses on their...

Analyze This Is A Movie

Sat, 16 Oct 1999 03:13:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author s_clover - Short and simple review 'coz I forgot about this movie already. Which says something. This is trite, throwaway entertainment that I watched last week after a friend rented it. I watched it because I had a midterm the next day. You know how it is, not...
