Sun, 27 Jan 2008 14:21:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ultrahi - The Fountain is the latest movie from Brooklyn based director Darren Aronofsky, who brought us the suspenseful Pi and the wonderfully dark 'Requiem for a Dream', so this latest outing has a lot to live up to - and thankfully it does. The Fountain is a...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ultrahi - After such wonderful comedies as Spinal Tap and Best in Show you would be forgiven for thinking that Mighty Wind would be another rip roaring ensemble comedy, unfortunately while it has its moments it fails to be consistently funny. The premise of the...

Viva l'Air Difference

Tue, 12 Jun 2001 14:56:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ultrahi - 10,000 Hz Legend is the latest Galli-tronic wonder from Air. Floating guitars, fuzzy electronic sound, retro futuristic beats - they're all here. Will it be another commercial success? I'm not convinced it will be - however it is a beautiful, off-beat...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ultrahi - I first came upon Iain Banks with his inaugural novel the Wasp Factory, which veers between contemporary 'slice of life' fiction to horror and back again without missing a beat, or a trick. Tight, dramatic writing. Subtle characterizations. Strong...
