In case you aren't familiar with TWIZTID, they are a rap duo... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~430580993668 Mon, 19 May 2008 02:10:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_430580993668?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_381936373380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thecriticman - If you don't know who Tech N9ne is, he is one of the best rappers out there. He isn't a mainstream rapper, he is strictly underground, he has a reputation as a Satanic/Sadistic rapper, but it isn't really true if you listen to his music. He gets that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~381936373380 Tue, 26 Jun 2007 01:32:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_381936373380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_307674386052?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author thecriticman - Eminem Presents The Re-Up is mediocre at best. It's basically a complication CD of Eminem introducing new members of his record label Shady-Aftermath. Eminem does appear on about 1/3 of the songs on this CD, but he isn't at his best. This is more of a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~307674386052 Thu, 18 Jan 2007 02:43:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_307674386052?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_280655203972?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author thecriticman - Santa Clause comes down the chimney, and this time comes with a big thud. "The Santa Clause 3: Escape Clause," is the third and hopefully last time Tim Allen will suit as the old and redudant old Saint Nick. I enjoyed the first Santa Clause movie with... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~280655203972 Sat, 18 Nov 2006 18:11:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_280655203972?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_257810534020?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thecriticman - Yes that's right less than a year before this album's release date Obie Trice was shot in the head in a drive-by shooting and still has the bullet lodged in his. This is probably why the release date of this album kept on getting pushed back. In my... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~257810534020 Sat, 23 Sep 2006 23:09:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_257810534020?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_249290985092?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thecriticman - I am not a big fan of Spike Lee's movies and I am especially not a fan of him as a person, but he does deliver with The Inside Man. This isn't a great movie, however it is everything that movies should be, it is entertaining, suspenseful, and the acting... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~249290985092 Sat, 19 Aug 2006 23:43:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_249290985092?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_241608658564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author thecriticman - The Matador is one of this year's most overrated movies. The Matador got great reviews when it came out, but I just do not see how or why. The performances are really, especially Pierce Brosnan's character. But good acting doesn't translate into a good... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~241608658564 Wed, 12 Jul 2006 01:12:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_241608658564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_235424091780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author thecriticman - This movie is without question one of the worst comedies I have ever seen. I am a big movie buff, I have seen a lot of movies and this is about as bad as they get. I cannot believe that this movie actually got picked up by a major company and made it's... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~235424091780 Fri, 9 Jun 2006 01:41:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_235424091780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_227008548484?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thecriticman - Wow!! This movie is a wild ride from beginning to end. It keeps you guessing, hoping, and entertained the entire time, everything movies should do. "Lucky Number Slevin" is about a guy named Slevin played by Josh Hartnett, who is not so lucky.

As a foreign-language nominee for the Academy Awards, "Tsotsi" brings Athol... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~224348507780 Sat, 25 Mar 2006 18:34:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_224348507780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223153131140?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author thecriticman - "Doogal" is the laziest, most disheartening kind of animated children's film, one that even seems interested in entertaining kids only on the most fundamental level (through colorful talking animals and flatulence jokes) while cramming in as many pop... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223153131140 Sat, 11 Mar 2006 16:52:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223153131140?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_221998648964?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author thecriticman - Harrison Ford could have made Firewall in his sleep, and at times it feels like he did. Firewall is the most generic of high tech kidnapping thrillers and is not even interesting enough to make it a guilty-pleasure bad movie worth watching. It is very... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~221998648964 Mon, 27 Feb 2006 00:27:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_221998648964?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_221827862148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thecriticman - I was pleasently suprised with this movie. The Weather man got good reviews from movie critics when it came out, but did not really get a lot of hype or recognition. It's not necessarily one of them movies that you have to rush to see, but it is a good... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~221827862148 Sat, 25 Feb 2006 03:46:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_221827862148?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_220242808452?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author thecriticman - This is just not a very good movie at all. Waiting.... is supposed to be an all out, raunchy, over the top, and very crude movie, which it is, but it just doesn't work and the humor just doesn't work. This movie really doesn't move much of a plot or... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~220242808452 Thu, 9 Feb 2006 03:17:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_220242808452?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_197859249796?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thecriticman - By now everybody knows that Saddam Hussein is a complete mad man, but this book offers a rare inside look into his life from a poor peasant in Tikrit to a multi Billionaire brutal dictator.

You expect comedies to be funny, but this remake of the Longest Yard wasn't at all, it had it's funny parts, but not nearly enough to consider it a good funny comedy movie. The Longest Yard is about a former... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~195354594948 Tue, 6 Sep 2005 01:43:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_195354594948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_194453606020?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thecriticman - Let me start off by saying that it was very tricky writing a review for this movie. The plot is so well done and unique that I don't want to get too detailed about the plot because I don't want to give anything away. I wasn't going to even write a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~194453606020 Sat, 27 Aug 2005 17:55:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_194453606020?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_194382106244?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thecriticman - You have probably heard the classic song called "I Got 5 On It" by the Luniz. It is a very good song which is by far their most recognized and popular song that they have, but they have plenty of other quality songs on this CD.

Going into the movie I didn't think it would be that good, but I am actually impressed with it. It is an all out funny comedy, it has a point and tries to send a message I guess, but overall this is a movie... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~194165968516 Wed, 24 Aug 2005 17:56:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_194165968516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_193837305476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thecriticman - I enjoyed this book, I found it to be very interesting.

I would have to say that along with a previous album called "We Can't Be Stopped" this is their best album.
