The Gold Standard

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 11:46:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - There are places where the food is so good, you don't care about the service, not that the service is bad, but if it is, that's ok.

The world of pizza is a popular one since the product is a cheap one to make. Dough, sauce, some cheese, and a...

Inept Movie

Sun, 12 Mar 2000 02:48:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - It always amazes me how many Stephen King movies pale in comparison to the book. This is no exception. What could have been a terrifying glimpse into the evil of the Third Reich is instead a shallow B-flick as phony as the rented Nazi uniform the teen...

An entree you can't refuse

Thu, 9 Mar 2000 01:17:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - Because there are several Vinny Testa's, I was a little bit scared that the food might not be that good, given the "chain restaurant" mentality. That is - "Our food is good, not great (aka Uno's) but you can count on our consistency from...

Behind the Scenes

Wed, 8 Mar 2000 18:01:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - I worked at Bertucci's for three years, and never really got tired of the food. That says a lot. I got tired of the customers after 10 minutes, but that's another story.

When I first started working there, the restaurant was under the...

Not Bad, But Film Still Rules

Tue, 7 Mar 2000 01:44:27 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - I'm a news reporter/photographer and I've been using this camera quite a lot lately. Here's the Pros and Cons;

The Pros - It feels like a camera, and that's important. You want a good weight which will give you stability and confidence in...

Boston Herald: Quick Fix

Sun, 5 Mar 2000 23:24:21 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - I browsed the other reviews of The Boston Herald, and without question, they all mentioned the easy to read format of the paper. Its like a giant book, so simplistic. Unfortunately, the writing is a little too simplistic as well. I read the Herald if...

Action with a Heart

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 23:31:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - Luc Besson is is that crazy french director who did The Messenger and The Fifth Element. His style is distinct and original and his story line zips you along. In The Professional (1994), a hit man who's life is his work suddenly finds himself with...

Boston University: Silber's Wasteland

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 23:12:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - I went to Boston University - briefly. I remember Freshman Orientation and the President of the University, John Silber, making some speech that rambled on and on about nothing, and then ended with, "And please, don't get hit by the train. Every...

Here Fishy, Fishy!

Thu, 2 Mar 2000 20:14:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - I had driven by this restaurant in Newton several times and the parking lot was always packed. One night my girlfriend and I had planned to go to a restaurant which turned out to be closed, so we decided to see if the wait at Skipjack's would be crazy...

Let's Go Eagles!

Thu, 2 Mar 2000 19:49:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - I can't believe it's been 8 years since I've graduated from BC. I actually started out at Boston University but transferred to BC after one semester. BU was just too big, with no real sense of community. Also, there's no campus, the entire school is...

Smoke 'em if you Got 'em

Mon, 29 Nov 1999 00:47:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - Hmmm, 34 other epinions about this film, this better be good. Let's start by saying that this movie has pis*ed off Mike Wallace. When someone asked him what he thought about the flick and its meager ($15 million at the box office at the time) ticket...

Bigger, Better, Toyier

Thu, 25 Nov 1999 02:44:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - I took my girlfriend to see this last night (she hasn't seen the first one, I know, a cardinal sin, but it didn't matter) and its one of those rare movies that lives up to everything you expect it to be and goes beyond that.

Woody and Buzz are...

Not A Simple Plan

Sun, 7 Nov 1999 23:36:21 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - Sam Raimi surprised everyone by directing a non-horror/comedy, "A Simple Plan," and pulling it off so well. David Lynch however, couldn't leave his natural element quite as successfully.

I've been a huge David Lynch fan for years...

Honkin' Big Oreo

Fri, 5 Nov 1999 18:04:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - The best part of an Oreo is that delicious white middle, the much too strong chocolate cookies are there to simply keep you grounded. HBO is like one giant Oreo. OZ, Autopsy, The Sopranos, Spawn, these are that white cream that you just can't get...

A&E: Hi Bill !

Fri, 5 Nov 1999 05:20:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - Any day now A&E is going to be aptly renamed "The Bill Kurtis Channel," and rightly so, he's on five nights a week, sometimes hosting two different shows. I just finished watching a truly disturbing documentary about beauty pageants,...

Failing the Payne Stewart Test

Thu, 4 Nov 1999 02:17:33 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - As sad as Payne Stewart's death was, you know some executives at the Golf Channel were eager to take this event to prove their legitimacy. Unfortunately, they failed miserably. What could have been an opportunity to put together in-depth stories...

C+

Tue, 2 Nov 1999 17:31:38 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - You can tell from the lack of cohesion among its programming that E! must have trouble behind the scenes. On the one hand you have great shows like Howard Stern, and Talk Soup, but then you've got crapola like E! Fashion (which couldn't be more boring...

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

Mon, 1 Nov 1999 10:31:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - This is cable TV's schizo' step-child. Some programs it has are truly awesome, like Millennium, which they showed in order and had me up until 2:00 a.m. for three months straight (Lance Henricksen is the epitome of cool, the Dale Cooper of the late...

The Origin of "Slick Willie"

Sun, 31 Oct 1999 16:50:41 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - This movie is based upon a novel by Robert Penn Warren, one of the true great American writers. Unfortunately, as with most book-to-movie adaptions, the film doesn't nearly live up to its expectations. As "bad" as it is however, it still...

Watch out for Captain Kirk!

Sun, 31 Oct 1999 01:29:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - Believe it or not, the mask used in Halloween is molded after William Shatner's face. I guess up until the time is was worn to kill people, it was used as just a pasty-faced Kirk for school renditions of Star Trek. Either way, that simplistic...

It's in the Hole!

Fri, 29 Oct 1999 01:45:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - Gopher! This movie made me glad I wasn't a gopher. What other movie can make you say that? I first saw this movie when I was 10, and I laughed my ass off. I saw it five years later, and laughed my ass off. At 25, I saw it again, and laughed my ass...

The King of Horror

Wed, 27 Oct 1999 02:16:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - If you haven't seen The Exorcist, then you haven't seen a scary movie. 26 years old, and is still kicks the ass of every other horror flick. I Know What You Did Last Summer? Please, wake me when its over. The Sixth Sense? A Disney trailer.

Mom vs. Dad

Wed, 27 Oct 1999 01:57:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mummolo - Ironically, this movie came out the same year my parents got divorced. I can remember watching it with my father several times, I think he wanted to identify with what Dustin Hoffman's character was going through. He even cut out the ad for the movie...
