rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smarkey - I am in a destroyed room. I am finally conscious after my crash. I check my phaser to see if it is still working, thankfully it is. I look around; this alien world is dreadfully scary but yet interestingly advanced. I see blood stains on the ground, I...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author smarkey - Your mission reader ... should you choose to accept it ... is to watch this film and not laugh. Seriously!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smarkey - Director Tony Kaye's movie is a masterpiece from start to finish - It should have won a few oscars (Although it had been nominated). Anyway the movie is about two brothers Derek Vineyard(Edward Norton) and Danny Vineyard(Edward Furlong). Derrek is part...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smarkey - If you haven’t heard of this album, where have you been for the last 10 years? The now infamous cover of the CD with a naked baby swimming after the American dollar is an image that will go down in the memory banks forever. No-one expected this album to...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smarkey - Why is it that all films are planned out for a happy ending?? Why do the good guys always win in the end, despite endless problems they seem to encounter throughout, they always come out on top. Armageddon, despite a small hitch at the very end, displays...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smarkey - So SEGA have quit the hardware scene. They will no longer produce consoles like the Dreamcast, instead they will be concentrating on developing games for other platforms like Playstation 2, X-Box and Gamecube.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smarkey - I love role-playing. Everything from table-top to computer, play-by-mail to gadding about in the countryside in strange clothing with rubber weapons. Having spent some time looking for a really good role-playing game that I can play on my computer, I...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smarkey - Many years ago I wrote an article who’s premise was that the success of the CD medium was not due to the supposed superiority of the digital format over analogue, but to the fact that it was convenient. I think said that “CD is to music what MacDonalds...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smarkey - When this movie was first released in 1999, I honestly thought to myself after seeing the trailer that it looked like a load of rubbish. Would it be yet another spoof movie, that although seemingly having a great cast, would amount to very little and be...
