Finally, A Stylish Scary Movie

Fri, 28 Sep 2001 17:47:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tccarroll - Scary movies have always been targeted to teen and young adult audience. That is, they are often stupid and purile. Cheep scares and lavish SFX all too often take the place of a good story and good editing.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tccarroll - Getting a Personal Data Assistant (PDA) was always something that I thought would be cool. I would drop hints to my wife, saying that one would make a great birthday or Christmas present, but I was always thwarted. “You don’t even use your planner,”...

Goodbye to the Phantom

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tccarroll - Admittedly the park is small. And, yes, there isn’t a whole lot of room for new rides, especially premier coasters. But what is Kennywood thinking? Tear down the Steel Phantom? The inspiration for so many sweaty palms and glazed looks? The ultimate in...
