Tide HE High-Efficiency Laundry Detergent: Great product, use your own measuring cup

Tue, 13 Jun 2006 19:59:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - Tide HE works well -- much better than regular Tide in my front-loading machine. My advise: use your own 1/4-cup measuring cup. It will keep you from unnecessarily using too much soap. Tide boxes come with a measuring cup designed for their...

Flexible Functionality

Mon, 12 Jan 2004 00:30:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - Though the 30GB version of the iPod is no longer in production by Apple, replaced by 40GB, it can be picked up used from a variety of sources. I got mine refurbished from the apple store www.apple.com for roughly $300. When brand new that cost well over...

A Long Strange Trip

Wed, 11 Oct 2000 19:24:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - Out of the collective experiences of a nation, National Lampoon’s Vacation1 is a tale about the uniquely modern phenomena of the nuclear family on wheels, which encompasses not just the destination but the departure and the points in between. It is about...

Review Topic: Sights & Attractions

Amsterdam for me is two different experiences. Over the course of a 6 week period this past summer, I had the opportunity to visit the city twice. Even though I stayed at the same place and...

A film more powerful than it seems

Mon, 5 Jun 2000 05:10:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - We could all use a little magic in our lives, and that is precisely what BIG is about. This movie is great, it's funny and cute, but that is not why it works so well. Big has lasted because it passes on a little bit of it's magic to us. It reaches for...

A lot more than an album with songs on it

Mon, 5 Jun 2000 02:14:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - Recently, I had the opportunity to check out the Mouse live at the Galaxy Club in Dallas. It was a situation where I was kind of aware of the band and a few of their songs but was really at the show because I was along for the ride. After sitting (or...

Thoroughly Impressive

Wed, 12 Apr 2000 09:54:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - Recently , I had the good fortune to be in Austin for a race, and had the opportunity to patronize a few of the many eating establishments in and around Austin; I was thoroughly impressed.

My personal favorite was the Tejas Grill on sixth...

I realize I am in the minority with this opinion.

Tue, 11 Apr 2000 15:15:17 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - First and foremost I would like to say, I hate the Dallas/Ft Worth area with a very strong and deep seated passion. Maybe it's the years of holidays I've spent in both sides of the metroplex or maybe its the fact that I am a native Oklahoman with a...

I like the fact that most people can't appreciate Guiness

Tue, 22 Feb 2000 00:44:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - If I had to pick one thing that defined a pint of Guiness, it would be the line. Straight's very definition, It plays dark against light forming a barrier which is neither. Endless, it moves around the pint as a testament to nature. Every Guiness is...

Sturdy and Durable: The Way I Like It

Mon, 21 Feb 2000 23:41:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - The Cumulus was a my first pair of ASICS, and I wasn't sure what to expect. I needed a shoe that would get me through a few months of training without breaking down or causing me some sort of injury. And, when it was all said and done the Cumulus met all...

It's Tentacles Everywhere

Tue, 15 Feb 2000 23:32:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - You know, I really don't have any strong feelings about MTV one way or the other. Something tells me that I should hate it, but I really don't. Music Television(or lack of music television)fills a niche. When I get in the mood to not think, I turn on...

Paradise, On the Surface...

Sun, 13 Feb 2000 05:24:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - On the surface, The Beach is a very attractive movie with a unique(well, maybe somewhat unique) and engaging storyline. The cinematography is breathtaking. Beautifully orchestrated shots of beach, sky, and ocean provide a stunning backdrop for all the...

A Novel of Greatness

Fri, 11 Feb 2000 15:05:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - It is hard to review a book such as this because in order to gain a full appreciation for the work one must actually involve themselves in it. This story has the uncanny effect of sucking the reader in from the first chapter and actively engages to the...

Melodic Masterpiece

Fri, 11 Feb 2000 13:48:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - Front to Back and Back to Front, Hum moves through the nine heavily textured tracks on You'd prefer an astronaut in a journey through the melancholy and subdued to the edge of rage and back again creating an album that is a melodic masterpiece. Each song...

A First Class Effort

Fri, 11 Feb 2000 03:30:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - With this album, Filter has not neccesarilly broken any new ground or gone out on any sort of limb. Their sound is consistent throughout and is reminiscent of their first album with the "Hey Man Nice Shot Album".

What they have done,...

Read This Book

Fri, 11 Feb 2000 03:03:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - I feel like a poseur saying this, but On the Road changed the way I look at life. I suppose I was already predisposed to much of the beat ethos, but Kerouac put into words many of my own feelings.

His observations on life and his commentary on...

Panama City Beach: Spring Break Hell

Fri, 11 Feb 2000 02:35:22 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - From the start, I want to make it clear that I never wanted to go to Panama City. My destinations of choice were either San Francisco (I finally got around there a few months later - see other review) or, if Florida was a must, the Keys. But, my travel...

Sooner Born and Bred

Wed, 9 Feb 2000 18:22:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - Before you read this I must clarify the fact that I have a long standing bias towards OU. As a native of the Sooner state, I have grown up treking to Norman on Saturdays to witness the spectacle of home football games. Some of my earliest memories are of...

The annoyance does not stop with the cover art.

Tue, 8 Feb 2000 15:29:42 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - I have been running for close to eight years now, and over the course of that time I have become progressively frustrated with Runner's World to the point that I can't even pick up a copy these days without getting annoyed. As a member of a NCAA division...

...and justice for all?

Mon, 7 Feb 2000 02:30:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - With the credits rolling and everyone leaving their seats, I was tempted to stand and thrust my fist in the air and let out a whoop in shared triumph. Walking out of the theatre I wanted to go out into the night to strike out against oppression and...

Truth Abounds

Sun, 6 Feb 2000 02:24:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - This movie is special.

Having no idea what to expect, I was profoundly struck by the truths "Harold and Maude" conveyed in its relatively short hour and half. As its storyline unfolds, themes of death and despair give way to those...

The Official Beer of BACK TO THE FUTURE

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 00:22:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - On a recent lazy Saturday, TNT was showing my the quintessential Michael J. Fox movie, Back to the Future. It struck me that in this movie of movies the beer of choice in 1985 and 1955 for Marty, Biff and George was Miller High Life.

Then,...

Gimmick?

Sat, 29 Jan 2000 18:44:14 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - Timex makes an excellent product. I swear by my own hundred lap Ironman Triathalon watch. With their Data Link series though, Timex created a watch whose utility quickly turns to inconvenience, and falls in the category of a gimmick.

In the...

The Definitive Word on Running

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 15:17:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - Once a runner is the definitive running novel. If you have experienced it, than you are already well aware of this fact. No other title so adequately conveys the experience of running from the standpoint of those who actually feel the fire down below and...

The Best Shoe in Which I have Ever Run

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 14:38:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Rocket1 - Cross country season at the collegiate level is a time of high mileage combined with speed work. As a result, shoes that can successfully integrate durability and weight considerations, yet still have a nice feel are in high demand and short supply...
