And shine they do in this tremendous drama that remains one of the best films of the decade. It doesn't hit a single wrong note.Phillip Seymour... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~489847492228 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 02:50:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_489847492228?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_484238069380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - The Ugly Truth screams of unrealized potential. The romantic comedy formula has been worked and reworked so much that the average viewer shows up to films like these begging the screenwriters to surprise them. Imagine the frustration I felt when I,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~484238069380 Tue, 8 Sep 2009 15:50:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_484238069380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_477694955140?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - To put it almost delicately, the manure and the hormones hit the fan in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. We are nearing the end of what has been one of the most successful book adaptation series to the big screen, and deservedly so... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~477694955140 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 04:08:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_477694955140?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_472978984580?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - Terminator Salvation is the worst movie I've seen this year. No, I guess I haven't seen all that many. I can't call it boring, and it has the budget, the talent and the expertise to be a superior science-fiction flick, but its lack of ambition left... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~472978984580 Sat, 6 Jun 2009 03:29:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_472978984580?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_472970858116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - Sometimes you get the impression that the writers of thrillers like State Of Play are trying to one-up a buddy writing a movie of the same genre. It's as if the template for such movies is the more crazy plot twists, the better. The problem with this, of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~472970858116 Sat, 6 Jun 2009 01:30:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_472970858116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_471244377732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - In Hollywood, there haven't been many better cash-grab ideas than prequels. They are especially great because they don't require much from the creativity department, since the characters everybody knows and loves all return, only now we see them before... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~471244377732 Thu, 21 May 2009 23:50:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_471244377732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_470318419588?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - After watching the special effects extravaganza that is the opening of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, in which Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber fight and kill countless soldiers through at least three wars I can remember, the obvious struck me. Origins wastes... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~470318419588 Wed, 13 May 2009 22:54:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_470318419588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_467413274244?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - Dragonball Evolution is to the manga series it's based on what "based on a true story" movies are to the true stories they are based on. The movie takes more liberties with the content of the DB mangas than Robin Williams does with the scripts of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~467413274244 Sat, 18 Apr 2009 02:30:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_467413274244?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_466181721732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - Most teen films tell about the same story as Superbad does. We get the nerdy, not-so-hot young male teenagers who try to lose their virginity before they go to college. This is something that's important for its own sake: not having sex during high... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~466181721732 Mon, 6 Apr 2009 17:25:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_466181721732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_462891552388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - The Devil May Cry series makes its jump to next-gen consoles with its fourth installment. I'm sure Capcom will make a lot of money off this one, and to some degree they have earned it. However, the DMC franchise now stands at the same type of crossroads... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~462891552388 Thu, 5 Mar 2009 14:05:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_462891552388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_461013880452?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - There are only a few things that save Twilight from being completely brutal. At its best, the movie was only downright predictable. At its worst, it was infuriating. A smooth-looking, well-made film, Twilight is the adaptation of the first tome of the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~461013880452 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 04:38:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_461013880452?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_458866921092?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - Assassin's Creed starts extremely slowly to leave you plenty of time to learn its controls and then spirals into one of the greatest games I have ever played. Its intrigue, though not very difficult to figure out, is gripping and its playability is just... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~458866921092 Sat, 24 Jan 2009 23:55:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_458866921092?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_458455944836?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - Seven Pounds is, for many reasons, an interesting movie. It stars Will Smith as Ben Thomas, an IRS agent who truly takes the concept of the Good Samaritan to another level. However, we spend about the first hour of the film wondering why Thomas acts the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~458455944836 Tue, 20 Jan 2009 23:26:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_458455944836?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_458451947140?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - If you are thinking of seeing Doubt before it leaves theaters (which I figure might be soon), by all means do. But beware. This film will haunt you. Doubt's power is incredible and its relevence, undeniable. It plays on so many levels, some human,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~458451947140 Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:45:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_458451947140?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_457795341956?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - Sadly, it has taken only three movies for the graphic novel adaptation genre to need redefinition. We discovered it with the marvelous Sin City, a movie so stunningly enjoyable that it made us (and movie execs, apparently) think that a new genre was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~457795341956 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 19:08:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_457795341956?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_454450122372?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - Quantum of Solace is, as are all James Bond films, big and boldly produced. It’s also a major disappointment. After successfully reinventing itself in Casino Royale, the series has taken a turn in the wrong direction with its most recent... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~454450122372 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 01:35:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_454450122372?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_453954211460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - FIFA 09 is, as its predecessor was, a terrific Soccer game and a must-buy for any fan of the sport. It brings back most of the elements that made 08 so successful and adds some new ones to essentially become the best soccer game on the market.

Butchering is probably a more appropriate term. The film, which is based on the novel of the same name... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~444216348292 Tue, 9 Sep 2008 17:19:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_444216348292?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_443585040004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - I have written a review of this film already. However, having recently seen it for a second time, it struck me that the new look at the film changed my perspective and my opinion of it.

It wastes no time before telling the viewer exactly where it stands. You can feel a Sin City-like intent behind it, although Wanted does not come close to the kind of class and sheer quality that Sin... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~438092598916 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:00:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_438092598916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_437983088260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wrestler - After the phenomenal Batman Begins, the Nolan brothers, Christopher and Jonathan, finally hit us with the eagerly anticipated The Dark Knight.

This is a much less complex and intellectual take on the green giant than Ang Lee's (2003), which I disliked.

But there is such a thing as coming mightily close to it. Atonement comes close, as close as any film I can think of. Based on the book by Ian McEwan, this truly is a novel inside of a novel.

The thought just crossed my mind when I saw it re-air on TV. I saw the movie back when it came out in 1997 when I was 12 and I've seen it a few times since.
