It was a brilliant look into the bizarre neuroses of a handful of New Yorkers trying to get through their day-to-day lives yet they can&#146t seem to stay out of trouble. Seinfeld... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~238478986884 Sun, 25 Jun 2006 18:54:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_238478986884?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_238301187716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - It would be difficult to say anything more about Seinfeld than has already been said a zillion times. It grew from being an obscure, low-rated sitcom into a legitimate phenomenon in the early 90&#146s and to this day still draws good numbers in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~238301187716 Sat, 24 Jun 2006 17:38:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_238301187716?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_237908102788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - My girlfriend introduced me to this show and I enjoy curling up with her while we watch it. To the uninitiated, Remington Steele was an hour-long detective show from the early 80&#146s. It contains prototypical elements of many detective shows from the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~237908102788 Thu, 22 Jun 2006 14:50:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_237908102788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_237685608068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - Curb Your Enthusiasm is one of the only TV shows I tune if for. Well, that&#146s not totally accurate. I don&#146t have HBO. But when I was staying in a hotel that had HBO and I happened to catch Curb Your Enthusiasm, it was enough to make me an... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~237685608068 Wed, 21 Jun 2006 11:45:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_237685608068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_237159812740?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - I have a hard time getting into legal or medical dramas. Well, I usually have a hard time with most TV shows in general. But with legal and medical dramas you have to deal with ethical dilemmas and hear a lot of dialogue about the thin line between law... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~237159812740 Sun, 18 Jun 2006 16:46:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_237159812740?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_236331437700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - I&#146m surprised that Creationists don&#146t embrace X-Men as openly as they embraced March of the Penguins (weird, but true). I mean, what better way to rail against evolution than a movie about people who evolve only to embroil the world into... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~236331437700 Wed, 14 Jun 2006 01:33:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_236331437700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_235891494532?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - When I was a kid I got most of what I know about Batman from the cartoon where he teamed up with the Scooby Doo gang. There may have been Harlem Globetrotters involved and maybe even TV&#146s Dick Van Dyke. I knew most of his major archrivals, of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~235891494532 Sun, 11 Jun 2006 19:36:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_235891494532?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_232352353924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - There was plenty of cheese present in 80&#146s pop culture in America. There were also a lot of detective shows in the 80&#146s. Therefore, one could assume that there were a lot of cheesy detective shows. Where did they come from? Where did they go?... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~232352353924 Sun, 21 May 2006 19:47:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_232352353924?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_231537872516?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - Don’t you hate it when a channel reruns a show that you like until you are sick of it and take it for granted? Then when the newer, suckier shows take over, you find yourself regretting ever getting sick of that older, better show? That happens to me... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~231537872516 Tue, 16 May 2006 22:36:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_231537872516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_231132663428?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is my favorite movie. I couldn&#146t say how many times I&#146ve watched it, but I had a taped copy of its television premier from 1983 or so (judging by the Pontiac commercials, heh). It&#146s interesting to note that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~231132663428 Sun, 14 May 2006 14:49:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_231132663428?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_230897127044?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - I don&#146t have HBO. Right now I only have the cable channels offered by the hotel I&#146m living in (I&#146m such a rock star). But even in my own home, I only had basic cable. I haven&#146t had HBO since my parents got a satellite dish back in the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~230897127044 Fri, 12 May 2006 10:42:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_230897127044?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_230487264900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - Note: This review focuses on the 2002 DVD Director’s Edition for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Otherwise, it would probably lose a star (at least) if not for the editing done to make this film watchable. Although it took Robert Wise 23 years to hire... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~230487264900 Tue, 9 May 2006 21:16:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_230487264900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_230332272260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - I don&#146t consider myself to be a hardcore gamer. At least I&#146ve never classified myself as such. That being said, I can usually get really addicted and fiercely loyal to certain game series that I like. I do that with everything I enjoy,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~230332272260 Mon, 8 May 2006 22:15:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_230332272260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_229770432132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - I&#146m a sucker for DVD boxed sets. The problem is that there are so few shows worth buying. And there are various reasons why it&#146s not worth buying- the show is either not that good, or sometimes the price just doesn&#146t seem like a solid... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~229770432132 Fri, 5 May 2006 11:31:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_229770432132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_229607902852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - There is a lot of money to be made in nostalgia. Unfortunately, it&#146s my nostalgia that is targeted and I&#146m not really in a position to profit off of other people&#146s childhood memories. But with DVD boxed sets raking in dough from old (and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~229607902852 Thu, 4 May 2006 11:24:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_229607902852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_208596995716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - Something interesting happened in 1978 when the four members of Kiss, you know- Peter, Paul, Chaim, and well&#133 Paul 2, released four solo albums all on the same day. No other band has had quite the hubris to pull off such a feat of bringing in guest... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~208596995716 Sun, 16 Oct 2005 20:39:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_208596995716?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_136387989124?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - Degradation Trip, Volumes 1 & 2 is not a musical journey for the timid. The pussification of men in rock is proceeding at an alarming rate and Jerry Cantrell is one of the few remaining musicians who stills understands that music is supposed to come... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~136387989124 Sun, 11 Apr 2004 09:08:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_136387989124?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_128221482628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - Soul Asylum enjoyed a brief stint at the top of the music world with the release of their 1992 smash Grave Dancer’s Union. This featured a number of hits and was a surprisingly rich blend of grunge, punk, and pop sensibilities. They weren’t the first... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~128221482628 Sat, 31 Jan 2004 23:02:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_128221482628?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_128028413572?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - I swear if I read one more review comparing Living Colour to rap I am going to commit a hate crime. (Not that most music journalists don&#146t have it coming anyway&#133) But the band is known for confronting racial issues head on and the blatant... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~128028413572 Fri, 30 Jan 2004 08:00:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_128028413572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_127309090436?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - Aerosmith is one of the best selling and most important rock bands of all time. Enough&#146s been written about them throughout their career that there&#146s not much more that I can add. However, what&#146s important is whether or not Young Lust: The... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~127309090436 Mon, 26 Jan 2004 04:27:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_127309090436?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_127212621444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - Oasis is a band I&#146m only peripherally aware of. I know they came out big in the humdrum mid to late 90&#146s. I heard a few of there songs now and again and I somehow ended up with some mp3s of theirs, too. They never blew me away although they do... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~127212621444 Sun, 25 Jan 2004 05:04:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_127212621444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_127109533316?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - There are some people who wear their politics and their beliefs on their sleeve and simply cannot understand why you don&#146t see things the same way. Encountering people like this in real life is inevitable and can be really draining. But... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~127109533316 Sat, 24 Jan 2004 03:42:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_127109533316?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_126531309188?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - I&#146m the first to review this? Midnight Oil gets heavy on Redneck Wonderland. Not just topically heavy, although they usually are discussing fairly intense topics. But on previous albums their songs are usually so upbeat and hook laden that you... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~126531309188 Mon, 19 Jan 2004 03:31:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_126531309188?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_126335749764?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - One of my guilty pleasures (and a source of puzzled looks from my girlfriend) is the movie Airheads. Yes, I own an Adam Sandler movie and I&#146m ashamed. Well, he had nothing to do with the writing or production of this one and we never figured... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~126335749764 Sat, 17 Jan 2004 07:07:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_126335749764?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_126220275332?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - I consider this my lucky album, and I’m not just saying that because the band is Irish. (Damn it, I told myself I wasn’t going to resort to that lame joke) The legend goes that one night at work while I played this album I did not lose a single game of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~126220275332 Fri, 16 Jan 2004 07:18:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_126220275332?linkin_id=8003929
