Western Caribbean: NCL = No cash left?

Tue, 9 Nov 1999 16:10:48 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author SeanK - In the summer of 1992, my wife (then fiancee) and I, along with four friends, took a cruise to the Western Carribean on Norweigan Cruise Lines. Everything was wonderful up to the last day.

NCL offered a wide range of activities and diversions...

Light of my life, fire of my loins...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SeanK - Lolita is not a love story. Lolita is a story about one man's obsession and how far he'll go to pursue that obsession. To say that Humbert Humbert loves Lolita is like saying Ken Starr is fond of Bill Clinton. One of the truly brilliant...

Used to be great...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SeanK - I have to agree with my fellow reviewers about JPS.net. In a nutshell, they used to be a great ISP but their reliability has dropped considerably in the last year or so.

I signed on to JPS because I wanted an ISP that provided local coverage...

Willis, Connie: I'm just mad about Connie

Wed, 3 Nov 1999 16:21:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SeanK - To say I'm mad about Connie Willis is a bit of an understatement. In the space of one book--To Say Nothing of the Dog--Ms. Willis went from "Who's that?" to my favorite SF author. Why? you ask.

Connie Willis writes what some...

Better than Star Wars

Tue, 2 Nov 1999 20:03:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SeanK - South Park, Bigger, Longer & Uncut. Quite possibly the funniest movie of the summer season. I sat through Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and I sat through The Blair Witch project, and after both I got the feeling that Hollywood had robbed me of my...

The Hottest Hot Rocks

Tue, 2 Nov 1999 16:17:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SeanK - The Rolling Stones were one of the three great musical acts to come out of the 1960s, along with Bob Dylan and The Beatles. Hot Rocks is a double CD set that gives us all of the Stones' greatest hits from 1964 to 1971. Before 1964, the Stones were...

Urban Assault Vehicle

Mon, 1 Nov 1999 21:39:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SeanK - I hated SUVs until I owned one. Now I love them.

Back in 1996 my wife and I needed a new car and we decided agreed that we needed something capable of hauling lots of stuff around. I scuba dive and I was tired of trying to load all my gear...

All hype

Mon, 1 Nov 1999 20:19:32 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author SeanK - Here's the hype: The scariest movie ever made.

Here's the reality: I couldn't wait for it to end so I could go home. If I wasn't there with my wife, I would have walked out.

I think everyone knows the premise: Three students go into the...

ZOETROPE ALL-STORY: On-line Submissions: A great place to learn your craft

Mon, 1 Nov 1999 16:44:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SeanK - I've been a member of the Zoetrope: All-Story submission site for over a year and, unlike, David Bulley, I've had a positive experience.

On the site, you submit stories and get them reviewed by other members. As a workshop, the site can be...

Brilliant? Hardly. Garbage? Yes.

Mon, 1 Nov 1999 16:26:03 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author SeanK - I can't believe people are giving this book four and five stars. The hype deserves four or five stars, the book itself deserves negative stars.

First, let me say that I loved "Silence of the Lambs" and I eagerly anticipated Thomas...
