Androgynes Need Machine Guns!

Thu, 9 Nov 2000 14:35:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Matthew_Star - I did everything humanly possible to avoid seeing this movie. I'd heard a bit about the true life experiences of Brandon Teena, and gotten such glowing recommendations from my friends as "this movie was painful to watch.", and "I cried my...

I Shouldn't Have To Deal With Idiots at A Time Like This...

Fri, 13 Oct 2000 13:35:25 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Matthew_Star - As you may have read in my previous review, I was mugged earlier this week. I immediately called Chase Bank as soon as I got home (around three a.m.), to cancel all of my cards with them. The customer service representative that I spoke with assured me...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Matthew_Star -
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions

A few years back, a group of friends and myself were hanging out in the dorm, shooting the shizzit, and the topic of Mardi Gras came up. I, being the devil-may-care kid that I am, said,...

Waiting For the Mother Ship...

Thu, 28 Sep 2000 16:01:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Matthew_Star - I've been a longtime fan of the X-Files series, though admittedly an on again, off again viewer. So, I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't know all of the esoteric "X-Speak" and cryptic references that I feared would be a part of the movie. I...

Jackie O.'s Incestuous Murder Fantasy

Tue, 26 Sep 2000 02:41:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Matthew_Star - The House of Yes is, to put it succinctly, OFF THE HOOK. I initially rented this movie with the lowest of expectations, imagining that it would be yet another rehash of standard Hollywood Garbage. I mean, it _did_ have Tori Spelling, one of the...

"Best Lie" would be more Appropriate!!

Mon, 25 Sep 2000 17:25:40 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Matthew_Star - First off, let me begin by saying that I have discovered that Best Buy Inc. is covertly managed by the same forces that govern the fiery pits of Hell.

Please allow me to Explain.

I purchased my computer from Best Buy approximately...

Moonshine Stills and Devil Worship!

Thu, 21 Sep 2000 16:59:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Matthew_Star - Are you the kind of person who, when the light goes out, grabs a flashlight and heads into the basement to find out what's making that strange growling noise?? Probably not.

Well, Mulder and Sculley don't have to have all the fun!!

Would you like A Side Order of Ecoli with that?

Tue, 19 Sep 2000 16:22:06 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Matthew_Star - Let me begin by saying that I'm a real meat and potatoes kind of guy. Having moved to New York City from North Carolina, I really missed all the steakhouses that I used to take for granted. Steakhouses aren't as easy to come by up here! As diverse as I...

Halfway to Venus

Fri, 15 Sep 2000 03:35:02 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Matthew_Star - You cannot convince me that Tori Amos is not a genius (in her own Kooky Way.) I was a fan long before all the brouhaha started, and remain one. However, Tori like most geniuses can make the mistake of getting lost inside the labyrinth in her head.

1.8.7 Rocks the Party!

Tue, 29 Aug 2000 01:06:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Matthew_Star - A few years ago I was fortunate enough to see 1.8.7 perform live in North Carolina. She was (for the most part) completely unknown in the area, and I wasn't sure what to expect from her set. Well, she proceeded to calmly and quietly go up on...

The Queen of the Night Serves Up A Mean Casserole!

Mon, 28 Aug 2000 12:50:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Matthew_Star - First off, let me begin by saying that I have always loved Elvira. That witchy, brash, volumptous woman, dressed in a skimpy black goth dress, that possessed a keen intellect and an amazing sense of humor. As a kid I used to sneak out...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Matthew_Star - Blizzard really pulled out all the stops with Diablo II!! I must say that the game surpassed any expectations that I had, and that I'm still absorbed in playing it! First off, players now have the choice of five different character classes: Paladin,...

Wed, 16 Aug 2000 02:23:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Matthew_Star - In another review I read regarding this movie, the writer asked, "Is Murder Really Funny??" My answer: In this movie it's hilarious!! Kathleen Turner is ingenious as Beverly Sutphin the model mom and housewife, who enjoys birdwatching, cooking...

The Owls Are Not What They Seem....

Mon, 14 Aug 2000 22:38:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Matthew_Star - In the early nineties, Twin Peaks came on the scene, and turned every preconcieved notion of what a television series should be, on it's head.

Rarely have I encountered a show that made me laugh hysterically, and later gave me nightmares. Twin Peaks...

Icewind Dale for Windows: Trip to the Frozen Heartland

Mon, 14 Aug 2000 13:09:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Matthew_Star - I awaited the arrival of Icewind Dale with great excitement, driving the guys at the Software Store crazy with my calls of inquiry! Oh, the fun of it all! It always seems to me that the games that I long for the most, always have their release date...
