Large, Fast and Nimble

Sat, 12 Feb 2000 00:57:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author amsquare - No doubt about it: overall, this is the best vehicle I have ever owned. It handles like a sedan, accelerates with authority, rides serenely and hauls like a commercial van.

This is a nimble Conestoga. It moves through downtown Chicago like a...

Heller's Hell

Fri, 4 Feb 2000 10:10:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author amsquare - Like the others who have written reviews of Catch 22, I first read Heller's jaundiced view of the bureaucracy of war as a youngster. Unlike the others, I immediately related to it and understood the Yossarian view, probably because I was an immigrant...

Dell Dimension XPS T600 w/DVD: On The Other Hand...

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 11:39:54 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author amsquare - I was excited to order (with the 10% employee discount from my employer) a new Dell Dimension XPS T600. It came as I ordered it (within the limitations dictated by the plan assigned to University employees). I ordered a unit with 512 RAM, 27 GB hard...

Unbelievable Quality; Great Flexibility

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 21:02:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author amsquare - I just purchased a Hewlett Packard PhotoSmart P1100xi printer and have not stopped playing with it since I set it up.

It did not start well, however. One aggravation was that the cable was not included, and I had to run out to purchase one...

Not Worth the Aggravation

Wed, 5 Jan 2000 15:13:37 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author amsquare - As a long time TCI customer, I suffered through through frequent interruptions of services, bizarre billing statements, rude employees and marginal reception quality for quite a while before I encountered the quagmire of their digital product problems...

WOW!!!

Sun, 2 Jan 2000 22:39:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author amsquare - When my 15 year-old daughter BEGGED me to buy her this bizarre looking radio controlled vehicle, I feared that she was regressing.

Now she has to fight me for a chance to use it. This energetic, frenetic toy has a two toggle switch control...

Good Film; Poor Casting

Sun, 2 Jan 2000 21:43:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author amsquare - John Avildsen remakes his greatest hit, with Ralph (Wet Noodle) Macchio as Daniel, the young pre-steroids Rocky-clone, and Pat (I'm-really-a-stand-up-comic) Morita as the Mick-equivalent. Or something like that.

The problem with this movie is...

A Nice Effort by Gibson

Sat, 1 Jan 2000 00:26:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author amsquare - An earthy longhaired Scottish youth secretly marries his childhood sweetheart. An evil English nobleman slits her throat. The hero avenges her death and proceeds to pert-near bring the English monarchy to it’s knees, only to be betrayed by the Scottish...

Atta Boy!

Fri, 31 Dec 1999 22:42:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author amsquare - Okay, I'll admit it. There is something about a Steven Segal film that I like: he makes short work of the bad guys. There is nothing I hate more than watching an endless fight to the death between the hero and the villain(s). Usually the hero wins, but...

Duvall at his best

Wed, 29 Dec 1999 19:35:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author amsquare - When I first saw this movie in 1983 I walked out of the theater having realized that I had just seen nearly flawless filmmaking. Each time I have seen it, I feel the same way. Success, failure, and redemption is a trio addressed with some frequency in...

A Limp Effort

Wed, 29 Dec 1999 13:01:06 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author amsquare - What a stinker.

This basic story has been told innumerable times and in many ways: a group of misfits and losers rally against huge odds and emerge victorious. It is usually done very badly; rarely is it done well.

Poor casting, a...

San German...Strangled by Progress

Tue, 28 Dec 1999 01:13:58 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author amsquare - Thirty years ago I traveled to San German, Puerto Rico to visit my sister. She was a student at InterAmerican University, an English language institution located on a picturesque campus in the rolling hills of the southern fringe of that historic...

Super Performance; Super Tough

Sun, 26 Dec 1999 16:48:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author amsquare - If you do not own a camera, this is a good first purchase. If you are an experienced photographer, you will be pleased and surprised with this little fellow. It is a great sidekick.

I have owned a Yashica T-4 for years. I have one at work and...

Kudos to Kodak!

Sat, 25 Dec 1999 23:59:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author amsquare - My camera needs are simple. They always have been, even when I fancied myself a serious amateur photographer. A Nikon FM2 has been a loyal companion. My Yashica T4 is a great point-and-shoot scout camera which has never ceased to pleasantly surprise...

A Hybrid of Luxury and Practicality

Sat, 25 Dec 1999 22:57:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author amsquare - When my wife and I finally accepted that our old 4WD minivan was on its last few miles, we decided to explore the world of SUVs. After test driving everything from a Jeep Wrangler to a Chevy Suburban, we were dismayed at their lack of comfort, economy...
