Writer and Director Matthew Saville has honed and tempered his skills in the unforgiving arena of Australian television series to capture a way to tell it as it is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~440720789124 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 08:43:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_440720789124?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_382613032580?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - Did you ever imagine that the world was somehow different? Did you ever amuse yourself with sketches, or scribble something fanciful for your own entertainment? This film could throw you back into the secret memories of those innocent days. This movie... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~382613032580 Wed, 27 Jun 2007 11:25:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_382613032580?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_382593502852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - The last and the least of the three highly anticipated third movies, Shrek the Third serves up more of the same in what will hopefully be the last of the franchise. After the hype, which should never be taken as an indicator of a film's worth, Shrek the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~382593502852 Wed, 27 Jun 2007 11:04:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_382593502852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_382592388740?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - If last year&#146s movie program was sprinkled heavily with sequels and remakes, this year is going for the higher numbers. Another movie following hard in the footsteps of previous offerings and relying on an established audience is Ocean&#146s... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~382592388740 Wed, 27 Jun 2007 10:49:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_382592388740?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_375080390276?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - Buckle on your rapiers and batten down the hatches for the wildest ride of the series. Of the three highly anticipated third sequel movies to be released in quick succession, this is the one that lives up to all the hype and delivers with flair. More... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~375080390276 Tue, 12 Jun 2007 06:28:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_375080390276?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_219855425156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - ... and Cameron Crowe is no fool. Again, the critics and pre-release reviewers were against Orlando Bloom taking the role and, heaven forbid, playing an American. In focusing on what must be an eventual failure, they miss the many subtle levels of the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~219855425156 Sun, 5 Feb 2006 14:49:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_219855425156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_219496091268?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - Kingdom of Heaven directed by Ridley Scott has been given a raw deal by those who have given far too much credence to early reviews and guess'timations based solely on the premise that Orlando is too young to take a leading role. More than half the early... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~219496091268 Wed, 1 Feb 2006 09:56:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_219496091268?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_219493600900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - Nanny McPhee was an absolute delight to watch. Everything comes together beautifully to give a well rounded modern-day fairy tale. All the classic story points are covered in this slightly darker version of a Mary Poppins story. And in many ways it is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~219493600900 Wed, 1 Feb 2006 07:48:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_219493600900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_219299745412?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - Why, oh why, are not all movies released simultaneously across the world? Australia had to wait for many months after this movie was released to the general public in the USA. In fact, here it is, January 31st 2006 and we are still waiting for it to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~219299745412 Tue, 31 Jan 2006 08:00:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_219299745412?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_219298762372?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - There was so little hype or rumours leading up to the movie "Rumour Has It..." that the film could easily have disappeared with barely a ripple in the theatre scene. This is not my usual movie and fits more closely into the "chick flick" style. There... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~219298762372 Tue, 31 Jan 2006 07:09:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_219298762372?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_170751725188?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - This movie is definitely not for everyone and most assuredly not for those who have a tenuous hold on their personal beliefs. For some unpublicised reason, this movie was not shown in my city in Australia. We had all the lead up to a screening, the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~170751725188 Sun, 23 Jan 2005 01:30:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_170751725188?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_170736258692?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - Simply put - I liked it. However, I expect that there will be a large number of people who will not like it so much, however, from the votes on IMDb so far - it would appear that females prefer it more than the males of the same demographic. There is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~170736258692 Sat, 22 Jan 2005 22:19:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_170736258692?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_156227505796?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - I am glad I missed this movie at the cinemas and have just caught up with it in dvd. A strong story and a strong cast should have delivered a far more cohesive movie. The characters are powerful and very detailed and the actors play out their story... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~156227505796 Sun, 26 Sep 2004 13:26:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_156227505796?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_156158824068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - The basic Cinderella story will always be retold and remade, whether it is called Cinderella or not. It is a basic fantasy of hope and rising above adversity that will never lose its charm. This current version has brought the story into the modern era... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~156158824068 Sat, 25 Sep 2004 10:55:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_156158824068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_155622739588?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - "Til Human Voices Wake Us" is a hauntingly beautiful, intellectually suspenseful, mystery. It is a journey on two planes; through the psyche and the physical world of a young man who is forced to return to the small town where he grew up. Using a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~155622739588 Sat, 18 Sep 2004 23:29:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_155622739588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_155563167364?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - Where to start? First up and most importantly, I liked it. Not in a "must see it every day until it closes" type of way but an appreciation that will lead me to owning it when it becomes available. I may even see it again if the occasion arises. I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~155563167364 Sat, 18 Sep 2004 04:25:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_155563167364?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154828181124?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - Firstly, a few disclaimers. - I am not a fan of Tom Hanks - there are a few exceptions and this is not one of them, although it is bare-able. - I do not give a synopsis of the story when reviewing as I know too many people who would prefer to not... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154828181124 Thu, 9 Sep 2004 09:26:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154828181124?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154367004292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - A lot of people have heaped criticism on this movie. I finally got to see it for myself (Australia always lags behind most releases) and even though primed by all these, I liked it. Perhaps I have read too many and too widely in the science fiction... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154367004292 Sat, 4 Sep 2004 06:58:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154367004292?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154132385412?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - Do not let the cringe of this being an Australian-made movie prevent you from experiencing this gentle and quirky love story. Miranda Otto is a darling in the lead female role as she takes the character from the lonely country parking inspector slowly... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154132385412 Thu, 2 Sep 2004 09:30:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154132385412?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154130419332?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars is a disappointment. I love Science Fiction and will put up with a lot of substandard production values in order to get a fix, but this still leaves a flat empty feeling. I watched this movie because I usually like... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154130419332 Thu, 2 Sep 2004 08:40:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154130419332?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_153759354500?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - This movie takes a new look at the old story of a more recent day rogue turned hero to the poorer classes. It portrays the popular cult figure sympathetically and not as the law-breaker that he in fact became. From an Australian's point of view, there... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~153759354500 Mon, 30 Aug 2004 03:40:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_153759354500?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_153757781636?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author selivia - The power and intensity of the first one, Bourne Identity, carry through with lots of the same characters making a comeback and a few new ones to keep the momentum going. This gives a better sense of closure to several characters, exposes more background... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~153757781636 Mon, 30 Aug 2004 03:03:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_153757781636?linkin_id=8003929
