rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JohnnieRico - The book that started the legacy. One man alone developed the story that was to be one of the most successful stories in cinema history. While Godfather I is by far the best movie, the book eclipses even that classic movie. There are a countless...

Very Disappointing

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 18:09:25 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author JohnnieRico - On Super Bowl Sunday, I saw the first commercial for this movie, and I'll be honest, I was optimistic.

Railroad Tycoon 2 for Windows: So Incredibly Realistic

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 19:54:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JohnnieRico - When I first saw this game advertised, I was very excited. Both of my parents grew up on the railroad, and my father deals with railroad business at his work, so I have had lots of exposure.

When I finally did play it, my expectations were...

Choose Wisely...Choose the Original

Tue, 4 Jan 2000 21:59:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JohnnieRico - Score another victory for the old originals. Now, most of you I'm sure have seen The Jackal, starring Bruce Willis, but I'm not sure if many of you realize that The Jackal was a remake of the 1960's hit The Day of the Jackal, which was based on a...

Thought this movie would never end

Sat, 1 Jan 2000 19:00:50 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author JohnnieRico - When I first saw the reviews for Any Given Sunday, I was optimistic. It looked like it had the potential to be one of the better, if not the best, football movies that had been released in a long time. So, naturally, I paid my $7 and went to the...

Racing Fun

Mon, 6 Dec 1999 08:22:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JohnnieRico - Mario Kart 64 is a must for N64 owners the same way that Goldeneye is. Believe it or not, its rather easy to tire from killing your friends in Bond, so most people want a fun game that is the exact opposite from the shooting games. Mario Kart is the...

I've seen better acting

Sun, 5 Dec 1999 13:42:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JohnnieRico - Every time a new James Bond movie comes out, you have high expectations. When Goldeneye came out, it was huge.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JohnnieRico - Whenever I set out to purchase equipment for soccer, whether it be cleats, indoor shoes, shinguards, or balls, I look no further once I find what Adidas has to offer. Adidas has been the worldwide leader in soccer equipment for as long as soccer...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author JohnnieRico - I chose Nintendo 64 because I honestly felt that it was better than Sony Playstation, and I stand by my view. However, when I purchased N64, I immediately set out to find a good, realistic and exciting racing game. The closest thing I have found is...

Thu, 18 Nov 1999 17:10:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JohnnieRico - I recently rented Madden NFL 2000 for N64, and I have one word for it: awesome. I have seen many commercials for the football games, like NFL Extreme, where you tackle someone and the head explodes, and I can't stand those games.

If you...

Awesome

Wed, 17 Nov 1999 23:07:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JohnnieRico - This is the only game that I own for N64, and I am still not tired of it. The approximately 20 different levels offer a very formidable challenge, as there are 3 difficult levels to defeat on each board. In addition, if you wish to get some of the...

Spielberg Scores

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 20:34:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JohnnieRico - Steven Spielberg does it again. Finally, a war movie that is accurate, unembellished and actually a good movie. Right out of the gate, this movie hooks you. By far, this movie has the best opening 30 minutes of any movie I have ever seen. Speilberg...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JohnnieRico - Its a Sunday morning during the football season. Two hours until the early games kick-off. You're looking for a little preview of the days match ups. You turn on Fox. Theres Terry, JB, Howie and some other guy. All they do is make fun of each other...

Great Chase Scenes

Mon, 1 Nov 1999 21:52:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JohnnieRico - With all the recent pictures that are more hype then anything else, it is hard to find a genuine action movie. Most movies nowadays either have horrible actors, or have a "recipe script", or a combination of both. However, one recent action...

A Sure Shot

Mon, 1 Nov 1999 20:28:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JohnnieRico - More and more these days, I find myself disgusted with what is on TV. It used to be that there was never a channel that would ensure quality programming. That all changed with the addition of the History Channel. Now, anytime I feel like learning or...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JohnnieRico - This past weekend, I endured a grueling 10 hour drive from Washington, D.C., to South Bend, Indiana. My purpose: football. Reaction: worth it. Notre Dame football. Those words mean so much to so many people, whether or not they are connected with...
