You Are the Quarry? DIG IN!!!

Wed, 1 Sep 2004 01:35:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - Delicious, smart, funny, witty, wonderful. These are the best adjectives I can come up with to desribe the triumphant return CD of El Morrissey, oh how we missed him. All but completely silent since 1997's post-Smiths "Maladjusted," he's back -- New,...

As Ferris might say, "I highly recommend it, it is so choice!"

Tue, 31 Aug 2004 22:15:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - The French Laundry is not to be trifled with. Deservedly renowned (at least IMHO), in order to be graced with the privilege to walk in the door, one must make reservations 2 months in advance. That's right, TWO MONTHS, and not a day less. My partner...

A station worth rolling into -- YEAH, JERSEY!

Tue, 31 Aug 2004 21:06:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - Though in specific this movie is about the trials and tribulations of life as a little person, it is in general about life on the fringe of what is considered "normal." Anyone who has ever felt him- or herself an outsider or a misfit will easily, almost...

If this is the date, I'll stay in, thanks...

Mon, 30 Aug 2004 21:45:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - I like Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore well enough. I'm not a huge fan of either, but saw the potential in the re-pairing of two true goofballs. They were, after all, great in the Wedding Singer. In a tragic twist, however, this movie did not even rise...

I might never take another shower, I love being dutty so much

Wed, 21 May 2003 04:20:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - I bought Dutty Rock on a whim shortly after a winter vacation in Jamaica, where Sean Paul seemed to be on repeat loop on the radio. When radio/video play of Gimme the Light and Get Busy started up here in the States, I couldn't resist the purchase, but...

The Matrix: Retarded

Thu, 15 May 2003 17:58:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - OH MY CRAP.

Now, I'm not a freakshow Comic-Book-Guy type or anything, but I LOVED The Matrix. I saw it in the theaters several times (4 -- I know that's a lot, but it's still in single digits, OK!!) and I own it on VHS tape and DVD, and I've...

NOT TOO LATE!!

Fri, 21 Jul 2000 04:15:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - So, if you check out my profile, you'll see the ONLY thing on my Hate It list is Beck's last album, Mutations. Even just the mere mention of that album is enough to bring bile to the top of my throat and tears to the rims of my eyes. I had given up on...

Carrabba's Italian Grill Thrills

Fri, 7 Jul 2000 04:17:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - I'm in a Carrabban Quandary, I just can't understand how anyone could possibly have anything bad to say about one of my all time favorite restaurants!!! My feelings are actually hurt, I feel like I have to stand up for my family or something, because in...

Archived Food & Drink Reviews: Hard not to love: The Non-Beer Drinker's Drink of Champions

Thu, 6 Jul 2000 04:22:49 GMT

rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - I'm not a beer drinker. There, I said it. Many of my friends (Kortykort are you reading this?) just don't understand this about me (or my fellow beer-o-phobes), but I'm not! And I AM NOT ASHAMED!

Anyway, when it came time for a friend's...

Lil' Kim is da bomb, Hard Core, big score

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 02:59:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - How I love Lil' Kim, let me count the ways: I love her for being a strong black woman not afraid to speak her mind in a man's world; I love her for her daring looks from Versace-clad-semi-nude-sylph to pink-wigged-glam-trash-hoochiemama; I love her for...

John Shaft, vigilante officer on Booty Duty

Mon, 19 Jun 2000 04:49:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - C'mon now, we all know Shaft is bad. And by bad I mean baaaaad (shut yo' mouth!), but I also mean it literally, this move is not made for the thinking person...but I'm talking about Shaft! You have to love it anyway.

There's not a lot of...

I promise you'll love this CD

Sat, 17 Jun 2000 06:13:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - Any Sade fan worth his/her salt will tell you that "Promise" is some of Sade's very best work. This CD has a lovelorn melancholic feel, most of the songs are about heartbreak and pain but it is an irresistably and undeniably sexy ablum. All...

GOTTA give it up to the old school!!

Sat, 17 Jun 2000 05:02:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - I think they call it the "Salad Days," you know, back when nobody knew your name or knew that you were the bomb? That's what Sade's "Diamond Life" is. For real, there is even a pronunication guide beneath her name so that the CD...

Apple is delicious

Fri, 19 May 2000 03:28:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - Who would think that that HUGE voice could come out of that Ally-McBeal-thin ultrawaif body. Homegirl could maybe use some cheetos, but can she ever sing! And not only does Fiona Apple's powerful, husky voice shock, move, and/or soothe accordingly, her...

So I'm a convert....

Tue, 16 May 2000 23:20:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - It doesn't get much better than Baduizm. This CD is smooth all the way with juicy bass beats, politically aware lyrics that will make you go hmmmm, Mother Earthy ultrafeminine vocals, and melodies that make you want to move. Baduizm is absolutely...

Say it ain't so, Beck!!!! SAY IT AIN'T SO!!

Tue, 16 May 2000 20:51:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - When I heard about Mutations, I ran to my closest music store and paid graciously, signing my name on my debit card receipt with hands shaking in anticipation. I sprinted out to my car while using my keys to undo the stickers and cellophane, practically...

Ode to Odelay

Mon, 15 May 2000 03:00:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - ILOVEITILOVEITILOVEIT!!!!! Beck once again proves himself to be THE MAN. I've been told that Odelay is a gringo-cized prounciation of "orale" a slangy Californian-Spanish term that means "listen up" and is all a moment of...

All that's Mellow Gold Glitters

Mon, 15 May 2000 02:01:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - Ahh Mellow Gold, what's not to love? This is the album that introduced me to the trash-genius Beck and remains today my fave. Beck's music eludes description, one of the things that I love about it the most, there's no label.... I guess the closest one...

Everyone needs to get kissed sometimes...

Thu, 11 May 2000 05:01:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - It's hot outside, you've spent the last 1 1/2 hours putting together your foxiest melt-proof look when you suddenly look at your watch and it's 5 minutes past party time! And you've only got $4.68 in your pocket!! What's a soul to do?

Worry...

Morrissey, Melancholia, Magnificence

Tue, 9 May 2000 05:02:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - Have you ever felt like the dorky character in a John Hughes film? Have you ever had a crush on someone who ended up not choosing you? Have you ever just wanted to stay in bed? Have you ever been dumped? Have you ever felt, as Morrissey sings with the...

Portishead, only better!!!

Tue, 9 May 2000 04:01:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - I ever so impatiently lay in wait after "Dummy" for the next Portishead released. OH how NOT disappointed I was with the result. "Portishead" is a little more developed, I guess is the word, than Dummy, it's different, more...

Propellerheads: Decksanddrumsandrockandroll? TOTALLY ADDICTIVE

Tue, 9 May 2000 03:20:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - An ultrahip friend of mine introduced me to the Propellerheads. When she took out a blindingmeganeon orange CD and told me the name of the band, I had my doubts, but the minute she popped this one into her car stereo, I was hooked. I went and got my...

Les Nubians: Quelle Joie

Tue, 9 May 2000 02:51:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - I can't believe that noone else has spoken out about this sister duo!! This is a great album for candlelit dinner background music, as most of it is tres sexy and en Francais. The real power of this CD is the infectious bass groove that starts out with...

Weird Wild Stuff

Mon, 8 May 2000 23:28:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - Two straggly-haired enemies of hygeine and haircuts, one an unemployed puppetter the other a veteranian with the tendency to bring her work home (Cusak and Diaz, respectfully), discover and exploit (with a third party, Keener) a teeny tiny doorway in...

Nerds Unite!

Sat, 6 May 2000 06:09:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - Awww man. This was both my knee-jerk reaction to the movie and my leftover sense of how I feel about it. I have a confession to make, straight up, I studied Latin and I loved it, I was in a Latin society, I've seen Quo Vadis and Spartacus and Ben Hur...
