Like I Wasn't Wasting Enough Of My Time.

Mon, 25 Nov 2002 01:00:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - I love wrestling games. When I was a kid, I loved them because I still believed wrestling was real. Eventually, when I realized that they weren't, I stopped watching, and playing. Sometime around when WWF Attitude dropped ridiculously in price, I...

Oritron DVD100 DVD Player: I'm Taking It Back This Evening.

Sat, 12 May 2001 16:58:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - I got the Oritron DVD-100 for Christmas this past year. I had been patiently waiting to get a DVD player. But, being a student, I couldn't afford the hefty price tag. My parents came into a pile of money around Christmas, and asked me what my "Big...

Enter, For Yet Another Lifetime, In The Brotherhood Of Satan

Thu, 9 Nov 2000 11:15:15 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - I found this in the bin at Blockbuster for $4.99. I figured it was gold. I mean, it was made in 1970, it is a horror movie, and I've never heard of it before. It had Total Golden Garbage written all over it. For the most part, I was wrong.

I Don't Know How Some People Can Like This Movie.

Tue, 7 Nov 2000 11:18:12 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - "The Talented Mr. Ripley" requires the patience of a saint to sit through. My unsaintly patience was running out by the one hour mark. The only reason I finished watching the film was because I was finally totally fed up, when the counter on...

This Film Is Intense. Very Intense.

Tue, 7 Nov 2000 00:21:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - "East-West", is a French film from 1999, set in Communist Russia. To summarize it's story would be to do the film an injustice. But, since I have to, it is essentially the story of a family who returns to Russia, under the guise that they...

Thank God I Only Rented It.

Sun, 5 Nov 2000 19:36:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - "Orphen: Scion of Sorcery" is by far one of the worst games I've played lately. In the past year, only two games have been worse. "The Incredible Hulk" for the Playstation, and "Tokyo Extreme Racer" for the Dreamcast.

MagicSpell: Ooh, That Tickles.

Fri, 3 Nov 2000 02:15:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - Streambox's MagicSpell is a fun little piece of shareware. My roommate found it from who-knows-where a few years ago. He recently downloaded it again, much to our amusement. MagicSpell is a CG-Rendered wizard, Merlin, who pops up to read...

I Hope I Don't Get Lynched For This.

Tue, 31 Oct 2000 10:59:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - All right. I liked this movie. Please don't hate me. I honestly found it better than the first film. In many ways, it doesn't compare to "The Blair Witch Project." The only reason it can be considered a sequel is because it was made by the...

Warning: Do Not Commit Murder On A Whim. Think Out Details

Tue, 31 Oct 2000 00:11:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - "Blood Simple" is a dark comedy from the masters of the genre, brothers Joel and Ethan Coen. You've undoubtedly heard their names before. They are the people behind great films such as "Fargo" and "The Big Lebowski"...

And God "Promptly Vanishes In a Puff of Logic"

Sun, 29 Oct 2000 11:48:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" by Douglas Adams is quite possibly one of the best books ever written. It is entertaining on every level. It's great humor, an excellent narrative, and above average Science Fiction. I can honestly...

God Smokes!

Sun, 22 Oct 2000 22:41:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - "Bedazzled" is loosely based on a 1967 movie of the same name which starred Dudley Moore and Peter Cook. That film was loosely based on a legend. My girlfriend and I went to see the modern update. I must say she liked looking at Brendan...

Keep Aeris Alive!!!

Thu, 19 Oct 2000 12:25:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - This is a review of the Official Final Fantasy VII Strategy Guide, published by Brady Games Strategy Guides. Epinions.com does not seem to have this particular guide, so I'm reviewing it under Sandwich Island Publishing's guide for the game. I'd say...

Chuck 'n Buck

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 22:51:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - This was not my kind of movie. I've been known to love art films, and I've been known to love disturbing films. This film was both, but I just could not bring myself to enjoy it. I've heard lots of good things about this film, both here on Epinions,...

No 'Toon Can Resist.... "Shave And a Haircut!"

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 11:05:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" is kind of funny. Oh, it's funny-Ha-Ha, but that's not what I meant. I meant funny-weird. It's a family movie, a satire of films in general (particularly film-noir) and it's a satire of the way films are made...

Come On Babies... Grease Your Lips...

Tue, 10 Oct 2000 11:13:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - I know of at least two Dr. Hook And The Medicine Show Greatest Hits albums. Of course, to add to the possible confusion, they are both titled "Greatest Hits". The cover of the one I'm reviewing has the guy with an eye patch sticking his...

Tom Loved This Movie, And That's All That Matters.

Sun, 8 Oct 2000 23:57:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - There's a lot of things wrong with this movie. The animation is not as good as you might expect in a feature length animated movie. The story is patchwork, and makes little sense in a lot of places. But I'm looking at it from the perspective of a 21...

It's Just Good Fun.

Fri, 6 Oct 2000 14:42:27 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - I'd just like to start off by saying how much I hate the WWF, and all the other wrestling groups that waste TV time that could be better used on anything but Barney or The Olsen Twins. But I do like Wrestling video games, particularly any wrestling game...

Money, Money Money Money... Money!

Fri, 6 Oct 2000 00:20:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - "Okay, everyone... We have to make as much money as humanly possible from the publicity created by the X-Men Movie this summer. This means we have to pump out at least one new X-Men game within a few weeks. How are we going to do...

It's In My Blood

Wed, 4 Oct 2000 00:29:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - Disclaimer:

Like half the other reviews in this category... this Review is not on Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum. It's on the Captain's Finest White Rum. The liquor I was born to drink.

Now what exactly does that...

They Can Keep This Secret. I Don't Want It.

Mon, 2 Oct 2000 23:16:04 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - "Joe Gould's Secret" is the story of a homeless, eccentric author who lived in New York in the '40s. He devoted his life to writing "The Oral History of Our Time". Supposedly a combination of essay chapters, and conversations he...

Atari 7800: Grade 3, Chicken Pox and the Birth of an Obsession.

Mon, 2 Oct 2000 16:15:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - Hello, and welcome to another trip down memory lane. On this particular trip, we will be taken back to the far away time of 1986, when a young eight year old was first introduced to the miracles of Console Gaming.

Once upon a time,...

Catz: And I'm Not A Cat Person.

Fri, 29 Sep 2000 10:56:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - It's time I came out. Let it be known throughout the land: I hate cats. A lot. Besides being allergic to them, I find them annoying and sneaky. Especially when a stray hair off of one gets too close to me, and I start sneezing uncontrollably for 15...

Woah...

Tue, 26 Sep 2000 20:23:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - Before I watched this film, I knew absolutely nothing about The Sex Pistols, except that they were one of the first punk bands, and that one band member was named Johnny Rotten, and that another member, who is now dead, was named Sid Vicious. I expected...

There Can Be Only Two... Versions... Each...

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 10:43:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - Well, if you haven't been able to tell by now, I like the Highlander movies. I've written other reviews on the original versions of these films. If you know nothing about the Highlander Saga, I'd suggest reading my review Highlander and Highlander 2:...

And It Makes A Lovely Hat!

Thu, 21 Sep 2000 18:36:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Spikor - Ahh... the joys of University life. Life is simple in the Joy Kidd Residence. Quiet, Peaceful, Serene. That is until Third River wakes up. The hall has always been synonymous with ridiculousness. Our first year, random hall events such as the...
