Yankee Stadium: Home of the best game ever

Sat, 3 Jun 2000 04:06:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Skaplan - In order to really see a baseball game, you need to be in the Bronx...okay so that's just my opinion. I've been to three baseball parks, Coors Field, Fenway, and Yankee Stadium. The feeling you get when you see the field at the Stadium is unlike any...

Great Action never Stops

Thu, 1 Jun 2000 19:57:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Skaplan - From the moment the movie started to the minute it finished, this movie was non-stop action. Okay so there were a few scenes when there wasn't any action sequences, but you get the idea. As the movie opens, we see Cruise free climbing a huge mountain...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Skaplan - Let me start by saying this was a great movie. The animation was unbelievable....there were times that I thought some of the monkeys in the movie looked real...everything just looked fantastic. But I'll get into that more later.

Tue, 16 May 2000 14:48:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Skaplan - I've been playing this game for a few weeks now. I didn't want to review it until I had a good grasp of the entire game. In order to completely beat the game, you need to advance through all ten levels with each of the five Jedi Knights you can play...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Skaplan - I had high hopes for this movie going into it. I loved the previews and hoped that was just the tip of the iceberg. Yeah well I was wrong.

INfamous for Ribs

Tue, 2 May 2000 02:29:54 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Skaplan - I love ribs...I'd eat ribs as much as I could if my diet would allow it...so needless to say I had high expectations for Tony Romas. Those expectations were far from met.

The menu offered many different varieties of ribs...they had a honey...

The honor of the Marines

Mon, 10 Apr 2000 01:42:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Skaplan - This simply was a great movie. I am a big Samuel L. Jackson fan and I thought that he did a great job in his role of a Colonel in the US Marine Corps.

The movie opens in Vietnam and shows how Jackson saves the life of a Marine, Tommy Lee Jones'...

Fantasia/2000: Great Visual and audio experience

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 17:08:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Skaplan - This latest installment of Fantasia was truly worth the wait. The animation is fantastic and the short stories are very good. The music that was picked to go along with each story made the absence of dialogue a forgotten worry because the music sounded...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Skaplan - well this opinion isn't about any one sport, but it's about all of the intramural sports...there is a new director of intramural activities and she's doing a great job. If you are male or female, a good athlete or you have trouble putting on your...

loud adrenaline filled album

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 03:25:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Skaplan - Kid Rock starts out with a great album. His songs have a ton of energy and great lyrics. The best songs, in my mind are Bawitdaba and Cowboy. I love the energy he puts forth. What surprised me most about this album was the slow song that pops up out...
