Tue, 11 Apr 2000 19:46:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bendor - This thriller with Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie actually started off a bit slow but picked up nicely in the middle third. Washington, paralyzed in the line of police duty from a bizzare accident is the ring master of a who dunnit murder mystery...

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 12:44:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bendor - As an avid BACKPACKER, I enjoy reading Backpacker Magazine for several reasons. First of all, the product reviews issue is second to none. They even steer you in the right direction for prices as well. You don't feel like you have to spend the most money...

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 12:30:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bendor - Since we logged on to the internet last fall, I've noticed an ever decreasing quality in AOL. I don't know if it has to do with the great merger of a couple months ago or what but the service seems to be headed south. It takes a longer time to sign on...

Leonardo vs. The Great White Shark?

Tue, 15 Feb 2000 15:14:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bendor - We decided to see this one because of the suspense and the setting in the previews. It looked like a combination of Lord of the Flies and a modern-day Robinson Cerusoe. I enjoyed Leonardo DeCaprio in Titanic and figured The Beach might have less of a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bendor - I haven't been getting much sleep lately; Judy Blume has been keeping me up nights with her latest book, Summer Sisters. This is classic adult Blume; irresistible, sexy and relentlessly readable. It is equal parts trashy and endearing. Even when you...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bendor - When the @$&*$! hit the fan regarding my mountain of debt, I knew there just had to be a solution beyond repeating my overspending habits. The credit cards I had maxed out had APR's in the ridiculous to insane range. It was getting way out of...

"Dick" and theThe Watergate Scandal

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 01:49:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bendor - I wanted to see this one because of the previews and the music. As a 70's kid, I thought it would be kind of cool to watch a movie about the Watergate scandal with some slapstick humor. As boring yet important as Watergate was in American history,...

Fri, 28 Jan 2000 18:10:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bendor - No BS about your credit report. I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and information I received when I requested a credit report. Their nominal fee of $8.00 was well worth finding out exactly what was up with my creditors. I once had a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bendor - Well she's done it again with her third great-sounding CD, The Globe Sessions. Sheryl Crow is still a refreshing mix of musical talent and down-to-earth personality. Globe Sessions has the same range of sounds as the previous two albums which were...

I'm Hooked, On Red

Fri, 28 Jan 2000 14:12:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bendor - This tasty brew isn't exactly a wise budget choice for the starving college student or full-time party animal. However, Red Hook India Pale Ale, named after a Seattle neighborhood, is one Northwest beer, despite the mid to high end price $5.99/six pack...

Harrison's Finest Since Raiders

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 14:12:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bendor - Suspicion and Suspense. One of the best action films of the 90's, is by far, The Fugitive. A much better remake of the older version and a gutsier role in Harrison Ford playing cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Richard Kimble. He is first accused of murdering...

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 16:01:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bendor - You'd think most Hewlett Packard products are going to work well or at least up to the standard you've been expecting the first time. Not this one. I don't think even the most expensive PC on the market could be compatible with this printer without...

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 14:08:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bendor - This has been my favorite movie of all time to date and it's already six years old. The Shawshank Redemption is probably Stephen King's best work and it's one of those movies that never gets old. My only regret is not seeing it on the big screen in 1994...
