I heard "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" on the radio over and over again and couldn't quite decide if I loved it or hated it, so I decided to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441005018756 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:56:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441005018756?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_243346738820?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - So now I come upon a classic dilemma. How do I create a standalone review for the second season of a series whose first season I've already reviewed? Well, first things first, I'll give you a link to the review of the first season, in case you haven't... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~243346738820 Thu, 20 Jul 2006 19:58:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_243346738820?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_243296865924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - When I got ready to write a review of David Sedaris's Naked, I thought, "I've got it! I'll title it something like, 'Sedaris Lays Himself Bare in Naked'! Brilliant!" Unfortunately, almost all of the other review titles are a similar type... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~243296865924 Thu, 20 Jul 2006 14:36:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_243296865924?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_242895392388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - I was a fan of Nick Hornby before I'd ever read any of his work. You see, High Fidelity (starring John Cusack) is one of my all-time, desert island top five favorite movies, and Hornby wrote the book on which it was based. I read the book not... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~242895392388 Tue, 18 Jul 2006 14:46:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_242895392388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_241204366980?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - I've always thought that Liev Schreiber was a talented (if underrated) actor, and with Everything Is Illuminated, he's shown that he's got some formidable directing chops, too. The Story The plot of the film is simple. Elijah Wood... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~241204366980 Mon, 10 Jul 2006 00:52:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_241204366980?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_240970272388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - I'm afraid the title of my review betrays my feelings about Guilin, but I promise, this isn't just a lovefest. I have my criticisms, too; but it is certainly true that I've never been anywhere with such stunning natural beauty as Guilin. The... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~240970272388 Sat, 8 Jul 2006 17:13:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_240970272388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_240935014020?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - When I picked up the first season of Scrubs on DVD, I had only ever seen a couple of episodes of the second season back when they were originally broadcast. Based on that scant experience, I had no trouble making the investment in the first... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~240935014020 Sat, 8 Jul 2006 13:40:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_240935014020?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_240576990852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - Xi'an doesn't immediately come to mind for most people when they think of China, despite its cultural and historical significance. The city itself was established over 3,000 years ago, and served as the capital of several Chinese dynasties over the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~240576990852 Thu, 6 Jul 2006 16:24:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_240576990852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_240525020804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - It's hard to tell you what my first impression was of Beijing. It was dark and rainy, and I'd just gotten off of a 13-hour plane ride. We got ripped off by our cab driver, as we later discovered, and it took us almost two hours to find our hotel from... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~240525020804 Thu, 6 Jul 2006 11:27:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_240525020804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_240445984388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - I only ever saw the first episode of 24, way back in 2001. Unfortunately, there were other things going on in the world at that point that made me lose track of the show, and I haven't picked it back up until a couple of days ago. I'm glad I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~240445984388 Thu, 6 Jul 2006 00:38:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_240445984388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_240408628868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - I always approach books like this with caution. The ones that have a little gold medallion on the front and say, "The Pulitzer Prize-Winning Novel," or something like that. You know the type. I like to think it's because I've been disappointed by... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~240408628868 Wed, 5 Jul 2006 20:23:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_240408628868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_216495722116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - Even those among us who've never seen the original King Kong know the story. Truth be told, the story's not that hard to know. A group of filmmakers goes to a mysterious island to make a movie. A beautiful actress is kidnapped by a giant gorilla. The... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~216495722116 Wed, 4 Jan 2006 10:50:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_216495722116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_215777119876?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - I read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe about fifteen years ago, and going into the movie, I remembered almost none of it. Throughout the film I felt twinges of deja vu here and there, as though I was trying to recall something glimmering just beyond... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~215777119876 Thu, 29 Dec 2005 17:56:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_215777119876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_215776464516?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - I had heard whisperings of R. Kelly&#146s magnum opus for some time now, but I never had enough interest in the man, or in anything about him, to find out what it was all about. A couple of weekends ago, a friend happened to produce the DVD, and I sat... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~215776464516 Thu, 29 Dec 2005 17:51:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_215776464516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_211133632132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - I just went to see Good Night and Good Luck last night. For those of you who don't know about it, I'll give a brief synopsis. In the 1950s, the "Red Scare" gripped America, and at its helm was Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin. He went around... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~211133632132 Mon, 14 Nov 2005 09:49:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_211133632132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_136630931076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - I was a little saddened this weekend at my promise to wait to see The Alamo with my friend who was out of town until Monday, because that left The Girl Next Door as the next most viable option for new movies, and it wasn't something that I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~136630931076 Tue, 13 Apr 2004 13:37:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_136630931076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_135836241540?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - I just don't understand it. Hellboy was the most promising looking film to come out this past weekend, and considering the reviews, I wanted to see it a whole lot more than Walking Tall, but it turned out that the reviewers were "wrong,"... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~135836241540 Tue, 6 Apr 2004 13:00:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_135836241540?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_135749996164?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - In 1996, when Pinkerton came out, I was only 15 years old, and about two and a half years from my first real heartbreak, but this amazing album had resonance with me nonetheless, and it's only gained more meaning since then. I remember... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~135749996164 Mon, 5 Apr 2004 19:16:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_135749996164?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_135714606724?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - I know that a lot of people don't like the title track to Rockin' the Suburbs, but I love it. I don't think it's Ben's greatest song by a long shot, but I don't think it was intended that way. I think it's a fun, tongue-in-cheek song, and his... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~135714606724 Mon, 5 Apr 2004 13:43:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_135714606724?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_135673515652?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - As of today, I've now watched, in a row, a movie called Night of the Living Dead, a movie called Dawn of the Dead, and a movie called Day of the Dead. Unfortunately, the first was the terrible 1990 remake of Night of the Living... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~135673515652 Mon, 5 Apr 2004 01:21:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_135673515652?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_135657131652?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - I saw the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre a couple of years ago, and I shortly followed it with Poltergeist, another of Tobe Hooper's classic horror flicks. I liked both of them a lot, but there was something about Texas Chainsaw... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~135657131652 Mon, 5 Apr 2004 00:12:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_135657131652?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_135646580356?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - I've been a Kevin Smith fan for a while, and I saw all five of his other movies while in college. I liked Clerks and could get past the acting. I loved Mallrats, mostly because of Jason Lee. Chasing Amy was a bit more... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~135646580356 Sun, 4 Apr 2004 23:32:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_135646580356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_135390137988?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - I got a copy of Ben Folds Live in March or so of 2003, and I listened to it compulsively for almost a month. Then, as fate would have it, a friend of mine called me and told me that Ben Folds was performing at Worcester Polytechnic... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~135390137988 Fri, 2 Apr 2004 12:41:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_135390137988?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_135320014468?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - I've never been a big fan of Nicolas Cage. I don't mean that I don't think he's a good actor, because I think that he's an incredible actor. I just think that most of the stuff that I've seen him in doesn't really stretch any sort of talent muscle... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~135320014468 Thu, 1 Apr 2004 22:06:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_135320014468?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_135307169412?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - The scene: Late 1994, Stafford Springs, CT. I was a freshman and had just started to make some older friends in high school. Friends with cars. So one day a few of us were out at the mall, and when I saw one of the other guys picking up The Blue... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~135307169412 Thu, 1 Apr 2004 20:02:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_135307169412?linkin_id=8003929
