Tue, 10 Jul 2001 16:03:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author David - Why did I see Final Fantasy: I was invited to screen Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, yesterday (July 9). I almost did not go, as I am not a huge fan of anime and I was under the impression that FF was the latest of this genre.

Fri, 27 Oct 2000 21:49:19 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author David - I recently purchased Sony's DSC S50 digital camera and entered the mad world of Sony Memory Stick. I love the camera (http://www.epinions.com/elec-Photo-Cameras-All-Sony_DSC-S50) but that is for another...

Lotion for the Ocean

Thu, 27 Jul 2000 16:07:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author David - I believe any sun protection product can be classified as one of four types:

1) Unstoppable lubes (i.e. Bullfrog and Zinc): make sure you bring one of these with you to the island when you go after your million bucks on Survivor. These are...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author David - Wahoo's has gained some notoriety recently as part of Merrill Lynch's new advertising campaign, touting the way that they can help small businesses. Yet, the legend looms larger and ask any local from Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach,...

Wed, 5 Jul 2000 22:51:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author David - Let me preface this review by confidently stating that I have eaten at Del Taco at least 500 times in my life. I began eating at Del Taco in July of 1980, when my family moved from Corona del Mar, CA to Irvine, CA and Del was the only fast food in...

Cool Clear Water

Wed, 5 Jul 2000 20:56:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author David - The Optimax uses the same filter as the traditional Brita water pitchers. Therefore, provided that you have space to store the unit, you will have only a one time additional cost to purchase the dispenser. In my opinion, the cost is well worth it for...

A New Twist on the Classic Ballpark

Wed, 12 Apr 2000 00:21:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author David - I can count myself among the 41,000 lucky seat holders at today's (April 11, 2000) Opening Day game between the Giants and my Los Angeles Dodgers (thank you Annie). The skies were blue, the wind decided to make like the happy crowd and took the day off,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author David - I had been suffering for a number of months from ITB (see my review of the Life Fitness 5500 Recumbent stationary bike). The majority of my runs were being cut short due to ITB knee pain and even diligent stretching was not preventing the pain. As I...

And The Oscar For Best Picture Goes To...

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 01:35:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author David - My vote for Best Picture and Best Actor, "The Hurricane" is the story of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, who in the 1960s, while living in Paterson, New Jersey (the home of East Side High and Principal Joe "Batman" Clark, as...

The Mother of All Arenas

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 05:14:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author David - At a total cost of over $350 million, STAPLES Center is the most expensive arena ever built. It was all privately funded (Jacksonville, et al - take note) and is the only arena to house 3 NBA and NHL teams. Replacing the legendary Great Western Forum...

World Class Eats

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 20:45:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author David - How very LA to take a simple concept, i.e. Chinese on Main Street in Santa Monica, and give it an exotic, cryptic French name that means, "Chinese on Main." However, Chinois on Main is unlike any Chinese restaurant you have ever been to. But,...

Wed, 1 Dec 1999 21:27:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author David - Since my days of participation in organized athletics have come to an end, I have tried to visit the gym 3 times a week. Joint wear and tear on the knees and back have made stretching and fitness a necessity in my life for the avoidance of pain. Part...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author David - A month ago while preparing for a camping and hiking trip of Half Dome, Yosemite, I decided that it was time to invest in some equipment. I already had the nice sleeping bag and the backpack and wasn't quite ready to kick down for a tent. Having recently...

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 06:49:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author David - This 9.6 volt Makita drill was a gift that certainly ranks as one of the most useful that I have ever received. Some of the tasks that were made less tedious with this drill include changing outlets, mounting fixtures, assembling and repairing furniture...

Thu, 4 Nov 1999 15:51:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author David - While schooling in Jersey some four years back, I hooked up with three friends and joined a Friday night bowling league in Trenton. I had always enjoyed hitting the lanes: the noise, fries and bowling pin shaped beers, but my involvement had otherwise...

Motley Ship of Fools

Thu, 28 Oct 1999 03:58:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author David - An earlier epinion focused on the fact that this first novel by Dave Barry was more or less a collection of some of his essays combined into a single narrative. I had never read any of Barry's previous essays nor seen him speak or perform, prior to...

Thu, 21 Oct 1999 04:53:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author David - It has been four years since the wonderful winter week spent in Banff, Alberta, Canada. Ever since, I have been longing for a way to get back up there.

Like a .275 Batter...

Wed, 6 Oct 1999 22:44:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author David - Quick & Reilly is like a .275 batter in Major League Baseball: you may not know their name, they may not be mentioned among the league leaders, but they are consistent and they provide value. I have been trading online with Quick & Reilly for...

Not a Nice Place to Live and an Even Worse Place to Die

Fri, 24 Sep 1999 21:46:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author David - "Tak Ah Lah!" Three words that mean very very bad news in Stephen King's, "Desperation." Desperation, Nevada, a small mining town along Interstate 50 is not a very nice place to live and is an even worse place to die. But death is...

Unequivocally, The Best!

Fri, 17 Sep 1999 19:30:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author David - An amazing product, especially for volleyball players who are susceptible to ankle sprains either landing on a foot under the net, landing on a ball in practice or just plain landing wrong. I can speak from experience on all of these ways of blowing out...

Muhammad in Vahalla

Thu, 2 Sep 1999 04:22:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author David - An exciting period action thriller of the genre of Braveheart. Yet, comparisons to Braveheart are generous as this movie lacks the epic style and is not quite on par with Mel Gibson classic. Along with the reference to Braveheart, I feel it necessary...

Wed, 1 Sep 1999 17:08:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author David - Think of the Superfriends as a reference point, you know, Gleep, Aquaman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman etc.. Now imagine that they have all been kidnapped. That is the premise of Mystery Men.

In this case, the world is not protected by the...
