Killer Filler

Wed, 29 Aug 2001 18:56:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - For those of you who haven't seen me around for a million years, I'm back just for the heck of it. I decided to review, in no particular order, some randomly selected albums of the 90's that have held on to their spots in my CD case. This is the second...

Black and White for Windows, Mac: I Laughed, I Cried, I Burned Things

Mon, 21 May 2001 21:41:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - We live in a society where the average attention span is less than a commercial. People devote more time to their fingernails than to their newspapers, let alone reading a full-fledged book. And at the same time, our free time has become more and more...

In the words of PCG: Gaming Goodness!

Tue, 1 Aug 2000 01:41:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - My love of PC Gamer is completely reflected in my love of Epinions, and so it is very fitting that I am reviewing PCG here. The connection between these two sources of information is deeper than fact. Both PCG and Epinions share a valuable asset:...

A Triumphant Beginning

Mon, 24 Jul 2000 12:20:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - It comes as no surprise that the final chapter of this fourth installment in the Harry Potter series is entitled "The Beginning." For what is an epic without new beginnings? Indeed perhaps this is not so much the fourth in a series, as a new...

Wanna see it? You daaamn right!

Sun, 18 Jun 2000 21:37:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - It's stereotyped. It's crude. But Shaft will never let his brothas, or the audience, down.

There is a time and a place to enjoy a movie as an intellectual experience. And there are a few movies, the rare blend of action and acting, which...

Back to the Basics--And What Basics!

Sat, 17 Jun 2000 02:03:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - I'll be the first to start my review of Binaural without saying, 'Pearl Jam is back!" There. Happy?

Moving on, this is a beautiful album. Never has their been such a blend of Vedder's songwriting, vocals (because I can't totally call...

Gone in...ahhh forget it

Thu, 15 Jun 2000 00:26:15 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - Yes it was glitzy. Yes it was exciting. Yes, Nicholas Cage rocks my world, and yes *teenage boys TAKE NOTE!* there was a nice shot of a girl in a thong. But honestly, when will people learn to make GOOD movies? The Marx brothers had it. Hitchcock...

Let Papa Roach Infest Your Headphones

Tue, 6 Jun 2000 15:37:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - Papa Roach's debut album isn't going to break any new ground. But then again, I haven't heard a rock album really become something new since Beck's Odelay. After that album, rock felt free to sample, blast the break beats, and drop heavy bass. These...

Krispy Kreme: Kholestorol and Koffee

Sun, 4 Jun 2000 19:12:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - Oh man is Krispy Kreme ever good stuff. The donuts are the freshest the world has ever seen. If you go to the actual stores as opposed to the packaged donuts, you will be treated to the krispiest, kremeiest, tastiest donuts money can buy.

The Little Putter That Could

Sun, 4 Jun 2000 18:57:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - Wilson tends to make pretty solid clubs, and this one is no exception. The steel shaft makes for a heavy feel, which I find a benefit in a putter. The club is weighted for a slow, smooth stroke, which I find gives me excellent accuracy. The copper...

Surf and Sun

Sat, 3 Jun 2000 12:57:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - The quest for a good east coast beach north of the Carolinas is a difficult task. New Jersey has little to offer. Eastern Maryland is crowded and meager. But Delaware is a treasure trove of beautiful, uncrowded, unspoiled beach. Rehoboth, Ocean City...

Face-Off? Or Trade-Off?

Mon, 29 May 2000 19:46:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - Cruise and Woo? I'll take it. Woo's other movies are thrilling and operatically violent, with massively choreographed fights, crashes, and confrontations. And of course Cruise is one awe inspiring king of Hollywood. So, having loved the cerebral,...

The Shortest Distance Between Any Two Points...is Southwest

Fri, 26 May 2000 12:23:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - Free to move about the country indeed. Without question, Southwest gives you wht you want: a flight, a coke, and a low low fare. Every time I've flown with Southwest, I have been impressed by their fares, their efficiency, and their fantastic, often...

Hi Kids! Do You Like Sellouts?

Thu, 25 May 2000 19:54:46 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - MTV is the network for a commercialized generation. With the exception of a few excellent shows and specials, the network is full of overexposed bands and underdeveloped talent. TRL, (Total Request Live), the all request after school tenniebopper...

No chunk...for a quite a chunk

Wed, 24 May 2000 22:04:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - The phone is tiny. The absolute number one reason to buy the StarTac is because, quite simply, it is the most easily carried phone on the market.

But such a phone comes with a hefty price, and the gratuitously tiny buttons. It is a sin for...

A Love-Hate Relationship Turned to Love

Wed, 24 May 2000 16:57:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - I have always liked Nike, mostly because they fit so well. For anyone without a perfect stride, Nike makes the most solid, comfortable and controlled footwear besides New Balance.

But there is one area which they fall, and that is in the...

Burning up the competition

Sun, 21 May 2000 19:10:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - This is a great CD-RW drive, the best I've seen, and the one I now own. It took me (a pretty computer ignorant guy) about 25 minutes to install it myself on my Dell system. As I watched the install video, my fears melted away, and I was burning CDs...

Finding beauty in nature

Fri, 19 May 2000 19:42:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - Here, if I may, I'd like to share my thoughts on one of the greatest experiences of my life, my canoe trips every summer with friends in northern Ontario.

The canoe trip is a beautiful thing. It takes us closer to nature, leaves engines,...

Great expectations.....

Fri, 19 May 2000 19:15:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - I got a Bertha as a present a few months ago, and it's been a mixed blessing. The Bertha, without question, is a beautiful club, which is weighted perfectly and is built for a perfect swing.

But the club isn't the best it could be...and...

Sonic bliss...they flat-out rock

Fri, 19 May 2000 19:01:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - If I can say one thing to anyone who's complained about the sound the get from their CD players, MD players or MP3 players, it is GET BETTER HEADPHONES! I realized that I needed to do better than the cheap, plastic, tinny swoops that came with my Aiwa...

Beautiful--for a price...

Sun, 14 May 2000 21:00:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - We recently moved, and needed a new stereo system for a smaller living room. Without a doubt, the Bose is the absolute greatest system available for a small space.

The tiny speakers fill the room with astonishingly rich sound, and other...

Tough to beat--with one warning

Sun, 14 May 2000 20:50:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - The LL Bean bags are all fantastic. The packs rarely break, are spill resistant, survive many thumps and drops, and above all really, honestly have enough room for all the stuff I need to lug around at school. The bag is separated into two...

Perfection in leather

Sun, 14 May 2000 20:09:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - Rawlings is flat out the best glove maker in baseball today. Naturally, when I was picked as 1B for my team, I wanted to try out a Rawlings. This glove is beautiful, like a second hand.

From ever angle, the ball consistently deflects into...

A great sleep for any tripper

Sun, 14 May 2000 19:55:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author beast003 - I camp in northern Ontario every summer. After I got fed up with my bulky, chilly LL Bean bag, I got this North Face after I saw it on sale. (Note: Sleeping bags can almost ALWAYS be bought for less on sale.)

I used this bag while camping...
