rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Newskier - Having checked the "critics" reviews online this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see the lowest score was a C+. Based on the previews and the website, I didn't have very high hopes for this film. The website looked quickly slapped together,...

Tue, 20 May 2003 10:45:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Newskier - I had this bed delivered on April 29th. So I have had it in use for about a month. Prior to this, I was using a generic brand mattress with a wooden foundation. After 5 years in use that one had crapped out on me, so it was time for something new...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Newskier - What can I say? I just rented this the other day and I died laughing. Looking at the rating so far here on epinions I'm shocked that it hasn't scored as high (must be some prudes with no sense of humor).

This movie is hilarious. Jim Carrey...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Newskier - Ok, having purchased the Braveheart computer game I was thoroughly disappointed. It was buggy and just plain junk.

Sun, 2 Jul 2000 09:56:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Newskier - Having seen Mel Gibson in the movie Braveheart it is difficult to NOT compare The Patriot to that film. Both focus on an oppressed group of people, both feature the English as the bad guys, and both star Mel Gibson as the one man who can turn things...

Tue, 20 Jun 2000 10:27:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Newskier - This product is one of the best out there for photo editing. But, it's also a professional editing suite which means that the average joe will be hard-pressed to fully utilize this product.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Newskier - I was using a sound card that was built into my motherboard, and it didn't seem to work well with many programs. I had read good things about the MX300 and when the MX400 got poor reviews I decided that I would try and acquire the 300 model.

Sat, 20 May 2000 17:04:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Newskier - Ok, this is one of those unknown movies that most people haven't seen but should. If you have a good sense of humor, you can't help but love this flick. It is a parody of the early 90's rap scene. You'll find MC Hammer, PM Dawn, NWA, L.L. Cool J,...
