Star Wars Strikes Back

Thu, 16 May 2002 13:46:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - Episode II escapes what I believe to be the biggest problem with Episode I, that of it being a beginning film. The sense of epic feeling that came about from the first film, A New Hope, came from having characters talk of past epic events. These events...

AHK!!! ZOMBIES!!! THAR, PRETTY AS A PICTURE

Mon, 18 Mar 2002 15:17:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - I've only played the original game a few times at a friend's house, but it impressed me by taking the great zombie cliches of horror, mixing it with science fiction, then making a great, creepy atmosphere by good use of visuals and sounds.

Wed, 21 Feb 2001 22:57:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - This full-length debut from the Phoenix, AZ band November 17 is the best I have ever heard. This album exceeds all others I have heard with consistent quality, theme, sound intensity and evoked emotions.

N17 is short for this industrial-metal...

Sat, 10 Feb 2001 13:16:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - A few weeks ago I saw the first trailer for this film, following a trailer for the movie "Blow." One of my friends at the time then said, "I think after I see these two movies I'm gonna be filing some false advertising suits."

Now that I have...

Terrible ending to a flawed film

Sun, 10 Dec 2000 12:59:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - When I first heard about how this movie only had a $30 million budget, I figured it would suck. Then I heard Jeremy Irons and Thora Birch would be in it, and it would be shot in the Czech Republic. My hopes rose, despite the bad looking effects on the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - Velvet Acid Christ(VAC) is the premier EBM(electro body music) band from America and one of the most popular worldwide. Basically, VAC is the project of Disease Factory, aka Wretch, aka Bryan Erikson. In my opinion, he also has the best use of vocal...

More bizarro NIN covers...

Wed, 4 Oct 2000 15:36:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - The first cover of a Nine Inch Nails song I heard was Devo's "Head Like A Hole," a version that sounded very different than the original, but was still very good. A song which was rumored to be on a CD called "Plan Nine" that came out...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - Philip K. Dick's "Do Android's Dream of Electric Sheep?" was the basis for Ridley Scott's class film "Blade Runner."

Mon, 4 Sep 2000 15:38:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - The trailer I saw a few months ago intrigued me enough into seeing this movie, although I thought from the trailer the plot would have more to do with being stuck in virtual reality.

The movie begins as Catherine(Jennifer Lopez) is seemingly...

Mon, 14 Aug 2000 11:20:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - Somehow I have yet to see a trailer for this movie. The only publicity I that made me aware of this film was a review in the local paper and brief segment on Headline News when they were talking about new movie releases.

I was intrigued by...

Zao: Liberte te ex enferis: The best Christian album ever

Fri, 11 Aug 2000 15:46:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - Zao's latest release blazes a new path for quality in both Christian music and modern hardcore.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - I saw this movie back in the 1980's as a G.I. Joe fanatic.

Keoki: Twisted and insane dance music

Wed, 9 Aug 2000 11:54:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - My musical tastes in the field of electronic music have led me to shy away from music simply labeled "techno."

Too much of the music I hear in this "genre" fails to make an impression on me, or it's so repetitive and...

Tue, 8 Aug 2000 16:41:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - The title track from this single is one of the classics of both industrial and ebm music.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - The hype around this movie was it would be another great Schwarzenegger action movie, a la Red Heat, Predator, Terminator, etc.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - As part of French IV my senior year in high school our teacher showed us these two films as part of the cultural aspect of class.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - The phrase "And so it goes" is mentioned after every death in this book. I do not remember exactly how many times this phrase is repeated, but I think it was around 90(that seems high; it is used a lot though).

Despite all the death...

Wed, 2 Aug 2000 18:00:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - When you look into attending the University of South Carolina, one of the selling points of propaganda that is presented before you, other than the honors college, is the dorm known as Preston Residential College.

I even got to stay in Preston...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - The Dentist is about, well, a dentist who goes insane due to his yuppy lifestyle and the obsessive nature of his work.

Wed, 2 Aug 2000 13:07:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author skywarpii - I've lived in Knoxville, TN, all my life. So when I started looking at colleges, UT was near the bottom of my list, along with Bob Jones and other scary educational camps.
