Epinions Recent Reviews for CFoam

Mildly Interesting

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 19:55:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - This book should have been so much richer. The author describes life in the minor leagues over the course of a season. However, it was lacking on many details. The other players on the team were right out of central casting...

Better than U.S. airlines

Sat, 1 Dec 2007 12:10:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - I flew El Al roundtrip from Miami to Tel Aviv. The legendary security was not as onerous as I remember (although I was stopped by a machine gun toting soldier when I tried to cut the line to catch up to my family). It can be a bit frustrating to...

Unbelievable Beauty

Tue, 28 Aug 2007 22:44:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is fortunate to stand on one of the most beautiful spots on earth -- Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies. The lake is breathtaking with turquoise water framed by green mountains and a glacier. The hotel itself is also...

Adequate but barely

Mon, 1 Jan 2007 16:38:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - I was excited to stay at the Renaissance Jaragua as I had heard good things about it. However, the hotel did not live up to expectations. It had the facade of a nice place but once you dig deeper you start to find aspects that are very dissatisfying...

What You'd Expect for the Price

Tue, 3 Oct 2006 22:14:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - I was a bit concerned when I made my reservation at the Hotel Wolcott. It seemed as if any hotel in Manhattan for less than $200 a night would be a dump. Nevertheless, $180 a night isn't cheap and I expected a certain level of service for my money...

buydig.com: Great prices, great service, no nonsense

Fri, 18 Aug 2006 23:07:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - I was skeptical about Buydig since its prices were so much lower than pretty much anyone else's. I was shopping for a Canon Powershot SD 500 digital camera. Most prices I found were a little north of $300. Buydig had it for $249. I figured I'd take...

Nice place if you don't sleep in the room

Sun, 23 Apr 2006 18:42:38 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - I had a very disappointing experience at the Holiday Inn Main Gate West. I arrived at the hotel at 11:30 p.m. with a sleeping child on my shoulder. The clerk was too busy talking to his girlfriend on the phone to check me in efficiently. The...

Exactly What I Expected From Toyota

Sat, 6 Aug 2005 21:42:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - We bought our Prius primarily for the gas mileage. We'd heard the reports that it takes years to make back the premium, but since we owned our last car for 13 years, I figured it's a safe bet that I'll get my money's worth. Especially because I think...

They Deserve to Make It

Mon, 21 Mar 2005 23:41:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - I hope that US Airways is able to climb out of bankruptcy and survive. The customer service that I have received on my past three flights have been excellent. On my most recent trip, my wife, 3 year old son, 10 month old daughter, and I travelled...

Ramada Limited Orlando: Worst place I've ever stayed

Wed, 9 Jun 2004 12:43:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - I was absolutely blown away by the poor quality of this hotel. The place was cheap so I wasn't expecting a Four Seasons, but I did anticipate a clean and comfortable room. I didn't get it. The first room I checked into was about 150 degrees. I...

Not as nice as it used to be

Sun, 14 Mar 2004 19:53:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - The South Seas Resort on Captiva Island was one of our favorite spots. We spent a weekend there five years ago in August. At that time everything was absolutely spectacular. This year we went back in early March. We were disappointed and felt...

Didn't need to be a Jim Carey movie

Tue, 6 Jan 2004 01:04:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - There are some movies that absolutely need Jim Carey in to make it work. Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber, etc. Bruce Almighty is not one of them. As a matter of fact, I think Carey gets in the way of the script with his constant mugging and antics. And...

KarateDepot.com: Very fast service, decent prices and easy to use website

Thu, 25 Dec 2003 16:21:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - I had a very good experience with KarateDepot.com. I found them while looking for a heavy bag on Amazon.com. Their prices were reasonable, in line with some of the lower priced online stores. Their site was easy to navigate as I searched for other...

Best Breakfast in SF

Wed, 14 May 2003 16:15:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - Wow, was I surprised when I sat down for breakfast at the Titanic Cafe. I was expecting a greasy spoon. Instead I got the best breakfast I've had in San Francisco in the ten years I've been living here.

Titanic is quite small with just a few...

General Reviews of AT&T Customer Service: You get what you pay for

Wed, 14 May 2003 16:04:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - Last month, I finally decided to upgrade my phone and plan. I had been with AT&T Wireless (after several acquisitions) on a very simple plan and never had a problem.

When I went into the AT&T store, I explained that I was leaving for a...

Digital Liquidators: These guys are a scam, do not do business with them

Wed, 12 Feb 2003 17:59:19 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - I should have heeded the warnings of others on the epinions site regarding DigitalLiquidators. However, I figured I was making a very simple purchase and I wouldn't be bullied into buying some overpriced accessory that I didn't need.

I was...

Jim Cramer Screams a Lot

Fri, 17 May 2002 22:15:14 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - You've read my title. Now I just saved you about 190 pages worth of reading. That's pretty much the whole book.

The author, Nicholas Maier tries to impersonate a writer at the very beginning, describing his quaint upbringing and...

Best Boxing Book I Have Ever Read

Sun, 2 Dec 2001 01:59:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - Rope Burns by F.X. Toole is hands down the best book - fiction or non - on the sweet science that I have ever read.

Toole is a veteran trainer and cut man and his knowledge is apparent throughout.

While Rope Burns is a work of...

If You Have Kids, You MUST Read This Book

Sat, 26 May 2001 22:50:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - Fast Food Nation is an expose of the fast food industry. If you love fast food and believe ignorance is bliss, don't read this book. If you'd like to know what goes in your food, how meticulously its marketed and its effect on our economy (and of the...

The Dish is Everything Great About the Movies

Sun, 15 Apr 2001 20:38:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - This was one of the finest films I have ever seen. I am not a easy critic as I find fault with a lot of things in movies. I couldn't find one in this movie.

The movie is about a small town in Australia and its role in broadcasting the first...

For Intellectuals Only

Sat, 31 Mar 2001 14:48:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - If you like movies where the only thing that happens is people talk (I do) then this movie is for you. If you need some action or eye candy, skip Talk Radio.

The movie about a controversial talk show host is focused entirely on Eric...

When it's good, it's really good

Sat, 24 Mar 2001 22:36:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - Thai Spice on Polk St. is my favorite Thai restaurant in SF. The food is very good, the prices are very reasonable and I've never had to wait for a table.

The chicken & peanut sauce is hands down the best I've ever had. Their green and red...

What was the point?

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 15:32:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - This was an interesting movie about the differences between black and white culture and what happens when they mix.

I enjoyed the first 2/3 of the movie. It felt a little like a Robert Altman film, with snippets of people's lives...

Thanksgiving Present

Sun, 10 Dec 2000 17:27:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - We flew America West from San Francisco to Ft. Lauderdale on the two busiest days of the year, the Wednesday before and Sunday after Thanksgiving. I have to say, it was one of the better experiences I've had.

Our flight Wednesday night was on...

You Get What You Pay For

Sun, 12 Nov 2000 18:27:27 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author CFoam - I had been shopping around for a gym when I poked my head into 24 hour Fitness. I was instantly whisked away to a sales rep who proceeded to enlighten me on all of the great qualities of the club and why its a perfect match for me. I felt like I was on...
