Bodum is the Best

Mon, 6 Jan 2003 21:11:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - I have been interested in owning a French press coffee brewer since I first saw one being used back in 1996. It belonged to my friend Brian, who always had a cup of coffee right before exercising.

I never bothered to buy a coffee press up...

Solid Price, Solid Performance

Sun, 5 Jan 2003 00:54:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - I purchased my Gateway in October of 2001. It was my first PC (I was formerly a Mac user), and it has served me well and has never let me down.

The reasons why I wanted to buy a PC were simple:

1: I needed to use Microsoft Word and Excel at...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - I don't understand how the guy who owns Les Halles (pronounced-- Lay All, don't be silly and pronounce it Layz All to your friends or especially to the restaurant staff) has his own TV show on Food Network.

I can't remember his name even and he...

Sat, 22 Dec 2001 16:45:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - I can't begin to say how fun this game is.

I bought it 2 weeks ago after hearing about it from some co-workers and since I turned it on and watched the opening I was hooked.

It starts out with credits and music like a movie and...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - Warning: Spoilers in this, but the story sucks so bad I'm doing you a favor!!

I Love/Hate My Sims

Fri, 24 Nov 2000 13:05:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - I don't know, I'm giving The Sims a 4 Star rating, but honestly I can't tell whether I Love this Game or Hate it.

I think that's why this games deserves a Good Rating; when was the last time you played a game that left you frustrated, angry,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - Tomb Raider Gold cost me $19.99 (+ tax) when I bought it last Friday at CompUSA (the only decent place to buy computer games in NYC!). I had played the original Tombraider on my Playstation back in January, got halfway through the game, and stopped...

Blahhh....

Fri, 4 Aug 2000 15:23:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - Alex Cross is such an unbelievable cop. Or more like James Patterson is such an unbelievable writer.

I don't know, maybe because I know nothing about police officers and their line of work, but I read this novel and kept thinking in the back...

Yummy and Chic

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - I used to go to Jerry's on Prince street (next door to J Crew) with a friend of mine every weekend, but that was over a year ago. Anyhow, yesterday I had lunch there for the first time in year and was reminded how much I love eating at this place.

Not As Good As EJs on Amsterdam

Thu, 1 Jun 2000 14:52:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - EJ's on 6th Avenue in the West Village is simply a bad dining experience.

The food is the same quality as the other EJ's restaurants (on the Upper West and Upper East sides) but the reason why this place gets such a bad review in my opinion is the...

I'm Not Sure what Kind of Restaurant this is...

Thu, 1 Jun 2000 10:45:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - Everytime I go to Republic I end up confused.

Just what are they trying to get at? They're kind of like soft-core erotica, they give you a hint of the good stuff but never go all the way.

Republic serves decent dishes of mixed asian descent. I...

Wed, 31 May 2000 15:13:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - I tend to make judgements about Companies that offer services and products according to how they advertise.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - The only time I ever allow myself to eat this junk is when I'm really in a hurry to get to work and there is absolutely nothing else that is as convenient.

Dunkin Donuts does have decent coffee, yes I have to say their coffee is always so hot...

Like eating in bathroom stalls? You'll love this dump!

Tue, 30 May 2000 11:37:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - For some reason, Old Town Bar and Grill is a New York City landmark. So what if it was built in the 1800's, does that mean it should be kept open, especially since it's an ugly smelly dump?

I guess if you like sitting in bathroom stalls and eating...

Unreal Tournament for Windows: I'd like to blast away Epinions in a Deathmatch!

Thu, 25 May 2000 10:17:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - I have the Macintosh version (413) of Unreal Tournament.

The game is more exciting to play than any of my Sony Playstation games, this game in fact makes playing my Playstation feel like I'm playing an 8-bit Sega console game.

Your goal...

Sun, 21 May 2000 10:31:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - Growing up in California, Carl's Jr. was hands-down my favorite burger joint. I haven't been to Carl's Jr. in 9 years, but even to this day, I wish I could go there all the time.....

I've been living in New York for nine years now and there...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - Tigerlily was Natalie Merchant's first album since breaking up with 10,000 Maniacs, it has songs on it that'll make you want to dance, make you feel really sad, make you very happy and make you a little sad....

I decided to review it because I...

Gotta Love Their Grease!

Fri, 19 May 2000 13:08:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - There are no Friendly's restaurants where I live (on the lonely island of Manhattan) so the only time I ever get to eat at a Friendly's (maybe once or twice a year) is always a treat. Usually it's when I'm going up to Syracuse or out to Long Island (I...

Hello Eric!!! EJ's on Amsterdam...not just a Diner

Fri, 19 May 2000 11:25:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - Hi,

I used to work as a waiter at EJs luncheonette on Amsterdam & 82nd street. I'm writing a good review about it even though the owner Eric is a major jerk(there are two of them, Eric and Jay). I heard he's retired, sold his stake in...

They're MY Road Buddies!

Thu, 18 May 2000 12:56:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - I'll make this opinion short and sweet.

I rented this movie a year ago after seeing Dar Williams play Summer Stage at Central Park, her song Road Buddy is in the film and I'd heard that it was a good movie.

It was definitely one of my favorite...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - I bought these running shoes a couple of months ago, they were my fourth pair of Asics ever, and was very disappointed with these.

Simpsons, The: Hope They Last Forever!

Wed, 17 May 2000 15:39:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Captainsoon - Boy, the Simpsons have been around for ever (in my 23 year old mind).

I remember watching the Tracey Ullman show in the late 80s just to see the short spots that the Simpsons sporadically were in.

I've basically been a loyal fan of the Simpsons...
