Great epics from the orignal space epic writer.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - I was first introduced to the Lensman series through the anime (Japanese Animation, to those of you not familiar with it). The video is good, but after reading this book, I have to agree that even the medium of animation isn't big enough for this...

If you only get one of their albums...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - This is, in my opinion, the best of Rage's albums. It was with this album that they rocketed to the top of the chart, selling millions of copies. It was this album that finally earned them the recognition that they deserved. It was with this album that...

Dune should be an epic, but it's too epical.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - The largest part about this movie that was done wrong was... the plot, surprisingly. The movie simply cannot handle Herbert's massive plot, his ideas crammed into a shell of 4 hours. The movie makes a good attempt at it, but in the end, performs...

The basis for our country

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - John Locke has been the single most influential person in our government. In his Two Treatises, he explains all about our gevernmental system, from the Federative system to our Judicial. In his old prose (the text was originally in latin) he describes...

A good book, but just a tad... wrong.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - Piers Anthony was first given to me by my friend, back in sixth grade. Okay, he was reading Upon a Pale Horse, and I was reading over his shoulder, but I still read most the book. It was interesting; it provided facts in an important and easy way, with...

Sci-Fi channel: A mecca of great movies and shows.

Tue, 2 May 2000 20:55:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - The sci-fi channel satisfied an urge in me that had been unsatisfied for quite some time. Every so often, USA or FOX would run a movie I liked in the science fiction/fantasy genre, but until the sci-fi channel debuted, I was severely lacking in quality...

A Phantasmogria of film.

Sun, 30 Apr 2000 00:11:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - I'd have to say, this film above all is a work of art. I believe that this is the best film Kubrick ever created, and simply a huge monolith - excuse my pun - in the film industry. With it's great opening, and fantastic effects, and simply breathtaking...

I love these guys.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - Bloodhound gang is one of the very few groups that can stand up, sing about sex, and walk away with a straight face. I mean, the lyrics in this CD are great. Using all the existing slang for body parts, from 'battleship' to the phrase 'yummy down on...

Well, I think it's great.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - I don't know why people are saying the Lebanese Taverna has bad service, and/or is giving lebanese food a bad name. Every time I have entered the restaurant, I have been assailed by wonderful food that delights the taste buds. I have never been served...

You know what? It wasn't that bad.

Sun, 9 Apr 2000 15:33:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - I was surprised at episode one. I thought, like most people, that it owuld be a breakthrough movie; that I would want to go see it time after time after time. And while it wasn't very bad, it was't very good either.

Too much time was spent on...

Command: A middling sequel.

Tue, 4 Apr 2000 23:45:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - I have been a fan of COmmand and Conquer since it first came out, and I'm pretty much happy with the direction it's turned, but I percieve a disturbing trend in games these days. Must we copy all successful games? I know that success breeds others...

Sandy Dunes and a quiet air make this place unforgettable.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - The minute I set foot in Cape Cod, I knew it would be great. Being a huge fan of the outdoors, I loved the smell, dunes, scrub pine, everything about it. This truly is a nature paradise! I mean, with the entire eastern coast a park, you can't not go to...

I know, you're thinking "another review." Well, try this one

Fri, 31 Mar 2000 00:51:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - Starcraft. While some fans prefer Command and Conquer to Starcraft, they are a dwindling amount, with the middling success of Tiberian Sun a wan beacon to the genre. While C&C started it all, and I still prefer the old C&C to any other game,...

Not all men are made to understand

Mon, 27 Mar 2000 21:55:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - Kahlil Gibran was a writer back in the 1920's, 1930's, and 1940's. He distinguished himself with his books - The Prophet, The Madman, and so on. Prophet is probably his best known work, and also was just read by me, and so deserves a hearty...

And the dragon rides the winds of time

Sun, 26 Mar 2000 00:48:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - The Dragon Reborn is a great book. I was actually inducted to the series by my friend, who goes under the name "mosky" on epinions, and, I see, wrote an opinion here already. Well, now to add my point of view.

The Dragon Reborn is a...

The title says it all.

Tue, 21 Mar 2000 21:20:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - As an aspiring geneticist (and philosopher, and poet, and writer), I was intrigued with this book when I first saw it in Barnes and Noble. It had its own table, with addendums and attachments along with it. I picked up a copy and leafed through it,...

This was a book or revelations for me.

Sun, 19 Mar 2000 12:20:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - This book was first read by me in 7th grade - yes, I was very young, and could identify with Ender. I could pick up the book and say "Hey, that happened to me yesterday." This book was the best one I had read back then, and while now it has...

A great RPG.

Sat, 18 Mar 2000 09:58:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - I fancy myself one of the people who play good RPGs almost religiously, and this is one that I saw first for saturn (Was it saturn?) and knew I had to buy. I lamented that I didn't own a saturn (or was it Sega CD?) and couldn't play the RPG that had...

A great magazine, in every way.

Tue, 14 Mar 2000 22:01:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - The reasons as to why I buy this magazine are many. Mainly, it's because in the 3 years I have read it, it has never failed to amaze me with it's veracity in it's reports, and impartiality in its judgments. Or maybe it was the excellency in their reports...

Swing is still goin' on.

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 22:13:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - My friend first introduced me to Cherry Poppin Daddies. He heard them on Loveline (I'm not sure how many of you have heard the program - It's quite excellent advice for our modern youth) play their song "Zoot Suit Riot" and several other songs...

A truly good game.

Thu, 9 Mar 2000 23:43:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - Jedu Knight is sitting right in front of me. The CDs burn like red eyes out of a flimsy plastic container, Jerec's eyes looking into mine... well, at least in the game.

Jegi Knight is the best game I have played that carries the Star Wars...

Mech Warrior 3: A true history of Mechwarrior: From start to finish.

Wed, 8 Mar 2000 16:47:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - Mechwarrior. In the rapidly changing PC games market,it is synonomous with names like Activision, FASA, and Battletech. However, contrary to popular belief, there was a life before Mechwarrior, and since no opinion on Battletech exists, I had to settle...

Who Knew They Could Play?

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 22:44:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - The Beastie Boys can almost be called a force of nature in the music scene. With many albums out, a huge amount of fame, and many hit songs, this album caught me completely off guard. I listen to this album all the time, with its funk beats and great...

Pop at its best

Thu, 2 Mar 2000 21:40:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - Well. Harvey Danger, you say. What in the world does it mean? Well, I don't know, but the music is good, so I listen to it. Their song on the radio, Flagpole Sitta, is nice but not a true representation of what the album is. Then again, what released...

The wave crests.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelic_tears - Ahh, you're seeing my opinion. Well, welcome. I'm talking today about The Two Towers, the second book in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. This trilogy, which has been successful since the ery first day it came out, is even more popular today. I could...
