Wanted : New Protege

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 21:18:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Piccolo - To be abrupt and upfront about it, the Mazda Protege is an adequate but unimpressive car. Although cars in this price range tend to not be so flashy, Mazda has succeeding in building a boring automobile.

The Protege does not have much going...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Piccolo - Wyclef Jean, of the rap trio The Fugees, was the first to come out with a solo album. That album was the Carnival, and although it can hardly be called a classic, it was a breath of fresh air in a genre where originality is lacking. You won't find...

Fri, 7 Jan 2000 20:56:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Piccolo - Years ago, when I first heard about "scanners", I thought they were a complex, expensive and mostly useless to the "everyman". However, nowadays quality hardware can be purchased at reasonable prices; The UMAX Astra 1220 U is a prime...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Piccolo - I bought the Panasonic SL-S260 four weeks ago, and I am extremely satisfied with the product.

Fri, 19 Nov 1999 05:41:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Piccolo - Gosh, this game is fun. Yes, I know it's wrong, but doesn't feel good just robbing some sucker of his car? Then either A) running him over, B) shooting him in cold blood or C) blowing him up? Ahhh, yes friends, it is choices like these that make this...

What is the Matrix?

Wed, 17 Nov 1999 04:17:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Piccolo - Even when the closing credits came up on the screen, I remained stuck to my seat, mesmerized by the Matrix's simple beauty.

Wed, 17 Nov 1999 01:58:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Piccolo - Bone Collector VS. PoKemon Collector..hmm..both to me suffered from that great bane of movies : Vision. In a few words, the Bone Collector has no focus; It just didn't know what it wanted to be. Basically, a crippled forensics expert (played by Denzel...
