rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - Hey everyone. Seeing as my family and I are planning our 3rd trip to Fort Wilderness next month, I figured I'd scrape up the time and pen a review. Please forgive me if I am a little rusty in the review department as it has been some...

Hyundai does it again...the 2007 Entourage.

Mon, 19 Jun 2006 13:25:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - Hey there folks. Yes I'm back again but this time for an auto review. And seeing as this is only my third write-up for a vehicle, you might be surprised to know that it's my second for a Hyundai product. The Entourage is the third Hyundai vehicle...

One of the most well known films in cinema history.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - As I was cleaning out the area underneath my entertainment center the other day, I happened across an unopened original Star Wars trilogy boxed set. Given to me as a gift some years back, I had totally forgotten about it. It was with an almost giddy...

Better than the original...but still not great.

Fri, 3 Mar 2006 13:43:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - When the original Underworld hit the big screen back in 2003, it surprised everyone by becoming a big success. Made on a budget of $22 million, it's worldwide gross surpassed $100 million...over half of that in the U.S. alone. And that my...

Does not live up to the hype.

Mon, 9 Jan 2006 15:44:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - Hostel has had more marketing and hype than just about any film released in the past year. One of it's ads features a narrator issuing a warning to all would be viewers. In a ultra-serious voice he claims that during a test showing, paramedics...

An underrated late 80's film.

Fri, 1 Apr 2005 11:34:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - About a week ago I was channel surfing when I came across this little gem of a film on AMC. A film that when released in 1987, did a decent job at the box office bringing in around $67 million smackers, but has since faded into the realm of obscurity as...

Brew & Go Coffeemaker.....Challenge Yourself W/O

Wed, 26 Jan 2005 12:32:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - I'm going to start off this review by saying that I don't drink that much coffee. For some reason, I've just never developed a taste for it. Once in a while I'll break down and have a cup but as a rule of thumb, coffee just isn't my thing. But hey,...

A cheap, cheesy mess. OSTH II

Mon, 24 Jan 2005 12:58:40 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - For some reason living in sunny ole' Florida, I get the TV channel WGN out of Chicago. For whatever reason over the past weekend, they showed the abysmal film Red Sonja numerous times. Now I haven't seen this film in probably 15 years and even...

Another Marvel dud.

Tue, 18 Jan 2005 12:39:06 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - Suspension of disbelief is a term that almost all movie goers are familiar with and when viewing a comic book adaptation, it's a prerequisite. You know you are about to see a film based on fantasy in which the normal rules of physics and science aren't...

An oversized mess....Godzilla...SMWO II

Wed, 5 Jan 2005 16:16:50 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - It seems that for some reason, every few decades or so, Hollywood comes up with the not-so-bright idea to remake a cinematic classic. Whether it's Dracula, King Kong, or Steven Speilberg's upcoming War of the Worlds, if Hollywood...

It's not the years honey. It's the mileage. Raiders of the lost Ark

Tue, 21 Dec 2004 13:40:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - Put simply, Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the greatest films, of any type, ever made. This movie single handedly set the standard for all other action films that followed and changed the action movie genre forever. Everything about it just...

This Blade needs some sharpening....SMWO II.

Mon, 13 Dec 2004 14:38:06 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - The first Blade was an enjoyable film. Featuring a decent story, plenty of gore, and good performances by Wesley Snipes and Stephen Dorf, it was a film that caught the public by surprise. The second Blade was simply terrible. A hodge-podge, incoherent...

One of the best of all time.....Lean-n-Mean III

Thu, 9 Dec 2004 14:55:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - With recent showings of 1939's The Wizard of Oz peppering the television, I finally gave in and watched one a few nights ago. Not having seen it in close to 10 years, I was amazed at how much I still enjoyed it. Everything about this film is...

The Last Samurai....Lean & Mean III W/O

Wed, 8 Dec 2004 16:44:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - I don't know about you, but I've always found it a pleasure when after watching a film you weren't very interested in, you sit back and realize that it was a great movie. Such is the case with 2003's The Last Samurai. This picture really caught...

Conan the Chump....Arnold's worst film.

Wed, 8 Dec 2004 11:05:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - With the success of 1982's Conan the Barbarian, I guess a sequel was pretty much inevitable. It's just too bad that the sequel took shape in the dismal Conan the Destroyer. Released in 1984, Conan the Destroyer is a poor film that...

Oh the humanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tue, 9 Nov 2004 14:35:02 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - You know a movie pretty much bites the big one when it's best parts are the opening credits. Well that is exactly the case with 1989's dismal The Return of Swamp Thing. Based on the semi-popular DC comic book hero, ROST was the sequel to...

Kiss my entire a*s!!!!!

Tue, 2 Nov 2004 14:50:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - Upon it's release in 1989, Harlem Nights met with resounding criticism. Nary a critic could be found that had anything positive to say about the film. "It's vulgar"..."It's a misogynistic mess"...."It's charmless and unoriginal"...they cried...

The prototype for all giant monster films.

Tue, 26 Oct 2004 14:06:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - Ahhh the 1950's. The time of rock and roll, drive-ins, Elvis, poodle skirts, and yes, a multitude of "B" Hollywood atomic giant monster movies. Giant ants, giant spiders, and even giant scorpions all graced the big screen. But of all the 1950's giant...

Clash of the Titans.....A classic that hasn't aged well.

Tue, 5 Oct 2004 15:19:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - Clash of the Titans was released in 1981 and is considered by many to be the legendary stop-motion animator Ray Harryhausen's finest work. I remember seeing this film in the theater and being blown away by it's grandeur and special effects. I...

A review of The Princess Bride?? As you wish.

Thu, 30 Sep 2004 14:25:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - When I watched this film the other day I nearly fell out of my seat when I saw that it was released in 1987. I had forgotten just how old it is. For a film that is fast approaching 20 years old, The Princess Bride still doesn't miss a beat. It...

I don't know what's in there, but it's weird and p*ssed off.

Tue, 21 Sep 2004 13:03:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - John Carpenter's The Thing is one of those rare films in which the remake is better than the original. Based on 1951's The Thing From Another World, Carpenter's version is an intense, scary, psychological thrill ride that will have you in...

A huge letdown.

Mon, 13 Sep 2004 15:08:12 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author scotte1218 - I don't think any 2004 movie release was as eagerly anticipated as Alien vs. Predator. Supposedly combining the best of two of Hollywood's most beloved movie monsters franchises, AVP promised to be a chew em' up, spit em' out, balls to the...
