Maid in Manhattan - a poor man's Pretty Woman

Sat, 21 Dec 2002 01:07:13 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - I was excited to see this movie. It could have actually been another great romance. Unfortunately, the two stars have no chemistry. Also, the there are story lines that are touched on, but never go anywhere.

Not to give too much away, but...

Not an easy but definitely a worthwhile read

Sun, 21 May 2000 19:41:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - "The Bluest Eye" was my first "encounter" with Toni Morrison. I read it in an Introduction to Literature course at my university. At first I was very frustrated by it, especially the Dick & Jane beginning, which I must confess I...

This was a little disappointing

Tue, 9 May 2000 23:54:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - I have been an avid John Grisham fan since his second novel was published. I even went back and read A Time To Kill because I couldn't get enough of him. Since that time I wait anxiously for his new releases to come out. It got to the point where I...

Stamps.com: Still making trips to the Post Office!

Wed, 3 May 2000 22:54:04 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - Well, I heard about stamps.com when it first came out and was really excited. I even told all my friends about it. I do a lot of trading and mailing and it is really hard for me to get to the post office, so I figured this would be a great time saver...

Wish I Would Have Kept My "Eyes Wide SHUT"

Sun, 9 Apr 2000 21:13:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - Ok, so Nicole Kidman has a stunning body and the movie grabs your attention because of all the hoopla surrounding it but what the heck was it supposed to be about? I kept waiting and waiting for this great mystery or conspiracy to unravel and it never...

Highly Suspenseful but Unguessable

Mon, 27 Mar 2000 23:41:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - The Bone Collector was filled with many good suspenseful moments especially when Angelina Jolie was investigating the crime scenes. Unfortunately, having read the book and then seeing the movie, I think that too much of what was so riveting in the novel...

Use only in a matter of life or death

Wed, 23 Feb 2000 12:16:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - Capital One is the most ridiculous credit card ever. Granted, they will give one to just about anybody but that leads to high fees for even the good payers. If your payment comes in one second past the deadline you will be charged $25.00. If you go...

A Great "Commuter" School

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 10:34:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - MSU is pretty well rounded for a commuter school. The dorms are unlivable but the cafeterias are not bad. They over a wide variety of classes but times and seating is limited. Sometimes certain classes are only held every other semester which can...

Lamb Can't be Outdone

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 22:53:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - My mother was the first person to suggest this book to me. As an English Lit major I do not get much time to read for "fun" so I am pretty choosy about what I read turning my off time. Anyway, my mom said "You are going to love this...

A "Testament" to the talented John Grisham

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 21:49:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - Did you ever hear of a book almost causing a divorce? Well, this book almost ended my marriage! Being a MAJOR John Grishman fan for years, I normally buy all of his books in hardcover. This was getting to be kind of expensive because I would read them...

A Mystical Adventure

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 21:40:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - I read Stephen King's "A Green Mile" when it came out as installments. From the very first installment I was hooked. I would mark the next release date on my calendar and wait anxiously to run to the book store and grab the next part...

Feel like Real Royalty!

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 11:42:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - Sandals Royal Caribbean is a fantastic place to stay. I booked my honeymoon on the fly direct with Sandals itself and the agent suggested the Royal to me. It has small cottages rather than being a high-rise hotel. No matter where you stay beach front...

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 03:45:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - Buying a camcorder was a big investment for my husband and I and we have searched for about a year for the right camera.

Only thing worse is no cable at all

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 03:26:22 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - Comcast Cable advertises itself as giving the "people" what they want. Well, I am not sure about you but I want good service at reasonable prices. Not only is their "basic" package high priced but to get any half way decent channels...

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 11:10:42 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - Well, I must've have been through the mill with isp's and sites promising free email, web pages and voice pagers.

More than Just Movies

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 00:44:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - HBO has developed into an all around entertainment channel. With its award winning original program like "Sex in the City", "Chris Rock" "Oz" and "The Sopranos", it is certainly worth the extra $10 a month. Each...

Priceline Flight Reservations: Great Buys!

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 23:32:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - I used priceline.com to purchase some pet supplies and food. It was a great buy for kitty litter and for pet food especially if your pets are not picky. I saved 50% on most of my purchases as I used the bonus bucks. To get bonus bucks you have to look...

The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time for Nintendo 64: This is a must have!

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 23:58:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - WOW! This was certainly worth the wait. I am a fan of Zelda from the original Nintendo version all the way through. I have played each and everyone repeatedly but nothing is better than this new version for Nintendo 64. Not only is it life like but...

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 23:31:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - I am a current user of America Online and I am definitely going to switch ISP's.

Enjoyable Short Read

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 12:07:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - Granny Dan seemed like a framework for Danielle Steele's Zoya which was also a book written during the Russian Revolution. Granny Dan is an enjoyable short read for those who need a Danielle Steele "fix" but it seems that the book is almost...

Must See!

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 10:34:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - What a hilarious movie. It reminded me of Porky's or Hollywood Knights but this was set in the 90's. The father was hysterical. There is one very gross gag in the beginning that I could have done without but for the most part the movie was a blast...

You'll Never Forget this Book

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 00:56:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - This is a book that gets better everytime I read it. It is a relatively easy read but it is also deep. The complexity of the relationship with the two brothers bares a repeated look. Although it can be sad at times, overall the book leaves you...

An Excellent Read

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 00:50:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - Angela's Ashes is an excellent read for all readers of all ages. It is a memoir but it is interesting and easy to read. I think there is something for everyone to relate to in this book - young or old. It is soon to be released as a major motion...

Sprint: $50/500 A Great Bargain

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 00:40:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BrodeurNo1 - The Sprint $50/500 minutes is a great plan. I think it works especially well for a single parent with a child. You can have one phone with 500 mins day hours and 500 weekend and night hours free or you can get an additional phone for $15 extra per...
