Athlon 900 Mhz

40 Gig HD

Made for me by Ibuypower.com

I purchased the external Iomega CD-RW at Circuit City for $160 with a mail-in rebate of...

Duran Duran: Spanning across four Decades...

Mon, 11 Dec 2000 20:28:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - Nick Rhodes (Nicholas James Bates) and John Taylor (Nigel Taylor) were sitting in a restaurant in Birmingham, England when John brought up the movie Barbarella, Queen of the Galaxy, a flick he had recently seen starring Jane Fonda and Milo O'Shea. At...

Huge potential, poor execution

Sun, 10 Dec 2000 03:10:00 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - Although I'm only a mild fan of D&D, I was very excited to hear that this movie was being made. If you think about it and let your imagination flow, this movie has almost more potential than any other idea. It has a huge background with tons of...

Guitar heavy album shows Duran's shapeshifting

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 04:00:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - Liberty makes for a difficult album to review, especially since it is 10 years old and is what I believe a transitional album showing experimentation and a back-to-basics approach. I consider this album to be influenced by a very American type of rock...

Best and most famous remixes

Sat, 25 Nov 2000 16:07:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - Upon the first time I ever heard "Justify My Love," I knew I had to own the song on CD. I can remember about 10 years ago when her video came out that was highly controversial (who didn't see that coming?). It featured the Madonna concert...

perfect for home/web use, not for pros

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 02:44:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - I was quite nervous about buying a scanner because it seemed like a rudimentary activity to scan a pic rather than use a digital camera (and thus keep all data transformations inside of a computer processor. But I have to say, this scanner rocks. I was...

A childish, pretentious mess

Sun, 19 Nov 2000 02:19:19 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - This movie, built like a documentary, does very little to dissolve the lines between modern blacks and whites. In fact, it irresponsibly presents differences in blacks and whites based on subgroups and not a representative sample of white and black...

Challenging, small, Southern, greek college

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 01:24:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - During my four years at Wofford, I encountered just as many challenges inside of the classroom as I did outside of the classroom. Now that it is all said and done, I don't have any regrets about attending Wofford, but I could never do it all over...

Industrial/Organizational Psychology

Mon, 30 Oct 2000 17:34:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - I started the Industrial/Organizational Psychology Master's degree program at SDSU in the fall of 1998. This program is relatively new, about 4-5 years old now. On average, there are 10 students that begin classes each year. Drop-out rate is about 1-2...

Performed for Duran Duran fans only

Fri, 27 Oct 2000 13:59:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - Duran Duran got relentlessly blasted for this cover album of influential songs. What most people don't realize is that this album was done for the fans as a way of saying thanks for being loyal, hence the album title: Thank You. Duran fans are rare...

DVD review of Evil Dead 2 Dead by Dawn

Fri, 27 Oct 2000 13:30:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - The transfer of the film to DVD is spectacular. I was not necessarily shocked, but it looks great. The blood has a very sharp white line of reflection on it, the blacks are solid and the intro screen is consistent with the tone of the film (gory and...

Beautiful blood and guts

Sat, 21 Oct 2000 04:18:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - Who's laughing now?

A famous line from the 2nd film of the trilogy. You could almost call this movie the Return of the Jedi of horror films. Army of Darkness concludes a three part trilogy of the most modern horror classic film series.

Not what you may think it should be

Wed, 11 Oct 2000 16:27:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - This game is very specialized to represent a reality-based interactive environment that may actually be too realistic.

It's blatantly obvious that the makers of this game spent a tremendous amount of time and energy making sure that the...

Great for gaming, huge and flat

Wed, 11 Oct 2000 15:29:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - I examined three different forms of graphics, and as much as I'd love to say it's perfect, it's not. But I can't really expect any more than what it has to offer.

First off, I paid $500 for it from techonweb.com (Texas), but you have to add...

Perfect only for gaming

Mon, 9 Oct 2000 18:45:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - There are three different "tests" that I put these speakers through. I listened to them from three different sources: an audio cd, a dvd movie, and a couple of computer games.

If you're like me, and already have a pair of nice...

Older and more mature

Sun, 24 Sep 2000 03:37:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - This epinion is in reference to GM's Older CD as well as the Australian 2CD gold import entitled, Older and Upper.

After battling it out with Sony over a contract dispute, GM was finally set free and released this album, his third album that...

I've seen better acting on the WB!!!

Thu, 21 Sep 2000 15:38:24 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - A Puzzle of Flesh? More like a puzzle of boredom.

Just to clarify, I have played only the second game of the two. Apparently, this box comes with both the first and second game. I have only played the second one: A Puzzle of Flesh.

Smashing, baby!

Thu, 21 Sep 2000 14:21:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - I almost died when they made a reference to Duran Duran in this add-on! Talk about putting together two of my favorite things in life. This add-on is completely worth it, unlike the Warcraft II add-on which I felt didn't offer enough and was too...

Best album of the 80s (along with Duran Duran's Notorious)

Mon, 28 Aug 2000 23:09:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - Note: I am reviewing the 1989 AND the 1999 version of this recording.

The album has something that very few CDs have. And that is endurance. I picked this up when it was first released in 1989 and I haven't not listened to it since then. This...

simply their best

Fri, 25 Aug 2000 16:01:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - I believe that Notorious is their best album. Granted Pop Trash is truly an exceptional piece of work, I haven't had years to put Pop Trash to the test like I have Notorious.

Notorious can be summed up quite simply: sophisticated funk. Nile...

They're like buttah!

Fri, 25 Aug 2000 15:26:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Medazzaland - After one listen, my only choice was to decide what pair of B&W speakers to buy. I decided on the DM602 which to this day has me proud of taking the time to research speakers. One note: I do not have the series 2 line, I have the first 602 line - I...
