Drinking Vanilla vodka does not make you less of a man.....

Sun, 18 Nov 2001 19:56:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - As a die-hard bourbon drinker, it's difficult o give a good review to anything so clear, but I can't deny that at times the Stoli Vanil tempts me.

I first tried Stoli Vanil at an open bar(beggers can't be choosers). I already love vanilla...

Muggle Me Silly

Sun, 18 Nov 2001 19:36:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - Already breaking records, Harry Potter on screen is also capturing hearts. True to the book, the movie was already over two hours long and with its current pace, it could have easily been over four.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - A couple of weeks ago, I logged into my NetBank account and discovered a mysterious $5 fee. I wrote an e-mail through the bank-mail system and then scoured the NetBank site for a fee schedule. It took me quite a while to find. There were a few $5 fees...

Treated better than Madonna

Fri, 17 Aug 2001 17:55:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - One Aldwych may be Madonna hotel of choice, but there is none of the attitude usually associated with Celebrity hotels. In fact, this hotel is more about what it is then who stays there.

The Rooms: Giant beds covered in luxurious pillows and a...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - For the first hour of this film, Nicolas Cage plays an off the wall Italian captain who is making the best of a bad situation. For the second hour, he plays a sappy, soft-spoken Captain in love with a Greek girl who speaks with a Spanish accent.

Surburbia on DVD! FINALLY!!!!

Sat, 9 Dec 2000 20:51:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - I was randomly walking through Tower the other day and ran across Surburbia. The real Suburbia, not that crappy movie from the early 90's slacker gen, but the all too real Suburbia by Penelope Spheeris brough to us by Roger Corman.

This movie...

Cagey Vamp

Sat, 9 Dec 2000 20:40:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - Nicolas Cage's most stunning and over-the-top role ever! This is the film that caused me to fall in love with not only Cage, but Vampires as well. Although my friend Francisco roling around on the ground, yelling that he was a vampire probably...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - The first time I went to Salem I was 12 and duly impressed by the Salem Witch Museum and the tarot card decks. After 13 years, I finally ventured back for a pre-Halloween weekend of fun. The entire town gears up for October and everyday is completely...

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 19:29:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - San Loco. An East Village dive that will bring you one step closer to Nirvana - and make you wish you could stop about 5 minutes from the Mexican Border and never ever go higher.

There are 2 locations. One on Second Avenue just below St.Marks...

I know they aren't superheroes

Fri, 18 Aug 2000 21:20:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - But I want my superhero movies to be more action-packed....Okay, Okay I know they are mutants, but still they have those mutant super powers. Basically I felt this movie spent too much time introducing a bunch of characters that are pretty...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - I was in Virgin Megastore with a friend who is a goth DJ and he picked this up just like he does every other goth cd. For once I didn't cringe at he bands. Usually compilations, especially those by K-tel have bands no one has ever heard of, and no one...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - When I saw that a new John Waters flick was being released, I couldn't wait to see it, but now, I am just glad I didn't pay for it.

Sex and a bond girl, if only...

Mon, 7 Aug 2000 21:32:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - Okay so Famke Janssen is a bond girl, does that mean she should be cast in every movie? Even if the plot so predictable and so college-film-class-project that only a bond girl can save it?

Famke plays Kate, a journalist writing an article...

the label only looks like JD

Fri, 4 Aug 2000 21:05:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - A rather cheap guy I knew once brought over Evan Williams when I had requested bourbon with the excuse that he thought it was Jack Daniel's. Well JD ain't even Bourbon. And the 5 buck price tag should have given it away.

a non generic southern product

Fri, 4 Aug 2000 20:33:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - A) It's not cajun/creole! Maybe a couple of things truly are cajun and they do offer to cajun style cook your food or blacken it, but for the most part it's just down home southern cookin'. Overall, it's a good mix of soul, southern, cajun, everything...

Fri, 28 Jul 2000 03:26:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - This is the album where guitarist Jamie Maker replaced Tim Maker, and the last album before they went less garage more psycho-glam and changed all their stage names. This album is old school rock n roll at its best or thrash or punk or garage -- whatever...

hillbilly Stars

Fri, 28 Jul 2000 03:02:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - Autoharp, guitar and some sorrowful singing. The hillbillies took the hillbilly out of country music and brought it to the world. The Carter Family could easily be the most influential group in country music and one of the most unacknowledged influences...

The only good Mel Brooks Movie

Wed, 26 Jul 2000 01:58:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SoniaKat - I know controversy. Who doesn't like Mel Brooks? Well, I didn't. I saw Blazing Saddles and hated it. I know this is blasphemy in many books, but well it's my opinion, and I've been told my sense of humor is warped. I love Monty Python and not Blazing...
