She wrote or... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~153169858180 Wed, 25 Aug 2004 11:41:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_153169858180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_148296404612?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author therichpeasant - Bend It Like Beckham was touted as the feel-good movie of 2002, and was warmly greeted by North Americans audiences(unusual for movies from across the pond - Harry Potter films excluded).

The film revolves around an FBI profiler named Terry McCaleb who has... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~147559059076 Tue, 13 Jul 2004 15:59:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_147559059076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_147540840068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author therichpeasant - I premise this review by stating that I loved the 1975 version of this movie starring Richard Chamberlain, and so I rented this movie to see how it would stand up to my expectations. While it is a good movie and will be enjoyed by those who have neither... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~147540840068 Tue, 13 Jul 2004 13:02:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_147540840068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_147538349700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author therichpeasant - I happened upon this video and thought that it sounded like a silly comedy with lots of eye candy (Cameron Diaz does look great in this movie). However, even if there were 100 gorgeous women starring in this movie, it would still be awful. Usually, I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~147538349700 Tue, 13 Jul 2004 12:28:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_147538349700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_146727472772?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author therichpeasant - Many visitors to New Zealand find their way to Wellington, partly because it is the capital city, and partly because it is the gateway to South Island. As in many countries, the capital city is often overlooked because it is not as lively or as large... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~146727472772 Wed, 7 Jul 2004 18:37:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_146727472772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_146722885252?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author therichpeasant - Dunedin is city that is pretty far south, with only Invercargill being at the tip of South Island, being further remote. It is mainly because of this, plus the lack of any really good attractions, that prevent tourists from flocking here. I came to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~146722885252 Wed, 7 Jul 2004 18:06:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_146722885252?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_146719215236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author therichpeasant - I have traveled throughout New Zealand and there are many great cities and towns. In the more commercial and cosmopolitan North Island, my favorite city is the art-deco jewel, Napier which, despite serving as a better architectural example of the Art... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~146719215236 Wed, 7 Jul 2004 17:32:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_146719215236?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_145844178564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author therichpeasant - San Gimignano, or sometimes known as the Manhattan of Italy, is renowned for its towers from the 14th Century. What makes it unusual is this not-often seen outcrop of 'medieval skyscrapers' among the expanse of undulating hills of Tuscany.

I had been using a stand bag, but because of all the clubs I carry (and their weight), I hardly ever carried the stand bag, electing to use a golf cart 95% of the time. I had never heard of the Ogio brand,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~145527180932 Mon, 28 Jun 2004 14:49:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_145527180932?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_145513549444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author therichpeasant - I think it would be safe to say that everyone who loved the original Shrek is likely to feel the same way about the sequel. The one great thing about animation is that they often do not fall into the same trap as other movies where sequels are often... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~145513549444 Mon, 28 Jun 2004 12:49:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_145513549444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_141957697156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author therichpeasant - There's not much that I have in common with Kevin Costner besides a love of a good western. This once popular genre has been displaced by high-tech, special effects laden movie monstrosities. Despite successes in the past from Oscar-winning movies such... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~141957697156 Sun, 30 May 2004 23:09:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_141957697156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_141955731076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author therichpeasant - What would you expect from an Oscar nominee for best picture? Or a movie with as provocative a title as 'In the Bedroom'? Or a quote from Rolling Stone magazine describing the movie as "heart-stopping"? Well, sadly, I think most viewers may find it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~141955731076 Sun, 30 May 2004 22:45:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_141955731076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_141261704836?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author therichpeasant - I love a good special effects movie as much as the next guy. But I also prefer to watch a movie with a half-decent script. Some good special effects and a good script make for a great day at the local bijou. But when you have over-the-top effects coupled... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~141261704836 Mon, 24 May 2004 23:56:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_141261704836?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_140497161860?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author therichpeasant - First let me preface this review by saying that while I generally like Self-Help books, I find most of them quite theoretical and often hard to apply to real-life situations. It's the "Easier Said Than Done" dilemma. The premise of this book is that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~140497161860 Tue, 18 May 2004 14:44:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_140497161860?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_140388568708?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author therichpeasant - One would think that with Rowan Atkinson's many years of comedic experience in Mr. Bean, Black Adder and his many other movies that he could come up with some hilarious material for this movie. Sadly, he does not and Johnny English fails at all levels... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~140388568708 Mon, 17 May 2004 17:25:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_140388568708?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_140278599300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author therichpeasant - With the movement toward DVD format and the prices of DVD players becoming dirt cheap, the poor VCR is in an uphill battle to stay relevant.

I fall into the former category - I like her music and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~140259266180 Sun, 16 May 2004 12:56:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_140259266180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_140113907332?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author therichpeasant - Kazuo Ishiguro's book has received much praise since its publication. It has also been turned into a film of the same name. While the movie was critically acclaimed, it still does not do justice to the book (as is the case in so many films based on... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~140113907332 Fri, 14 May 2004 21:49:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_140113907332?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_140102700676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author therichpeasant - 'About a Boy' is based on a book by Nick Hornby (who also authored the book 'High Fidelity') and tells the story of a lazy, directionless young man named Will who lives off the royalties from a hit song written by his late father.
