rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - I for one never read J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpieces but I've heard nothing but great things about them, and that is why I decided to see this film. At first I was astonished by the graphics and in depth introduction, which if there hadnt been an...

Diving Catalina

Fri, 24 Aug 2001 20:45:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - This is not a review about what is on the island but what is underwater. Santa Catalina Island is regarded by many divers around the world as pristine, almost unbeatable diving. 26 miles off the coast of Los Angeles, Catalina has some of the best diving...

Quake 3 Arena, here I come!

Sun, 4 Feb 2001 14:41:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - Quake III Arena is a monster of a game. Despite being thoroughly bested by the gameplay of Team Fortress Classic and Unreal Tournament in the hearts of many critics and fans, it still boasts a huge online community, and is a proven cash cow. The reason...

You'll want to see it 13 days in a row

Sat, 3 Feb 2001 23:59:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - You will have to prepare yourself before you see it because it is so good.

It tells the story of the Cuban missile crisis, a subject that, on its own, gives the film an impact. For 13 days in October 1962, the United States and the Soviet...

Palm m100 Personal Organizer: You can now Pilot your Palm

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 02:38:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - I recently got a Palm M100 for Christmas. I opened the present and of stared blankly at it, trying to analyze it. I had no idea what I would use it for, but I thought, hey why not. I opened the box, inserted the batteries and I was ready to go. It took...

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 23:54:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - I have been to Maui countless times but my experience there has increased at least 100% since I got my diving certification. I actually got certified in Monterey Bay, California a few years ago. I've dived in Monterey (Burrrr), Catalina Island, and...

I trust them!

Thu, 4 Jan 2001 01:40:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - I am a new Pharcyde fan, I must admit. I have heard a few of their songs from other albums but this is the only Pharcyde album that I own. Now, I know this is not a normal Pharcyde album, they kinda got more into the slow groove rhyming hip hop that they...

you, and that's about it. Now I'm sure all you diehard

Hanks plays a...

It's about time!

Thu, 28 Dec 2000 03:30:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - You know, ever since Calvin and Hobbes and The Far Side left us, an uncountable amount of comics have tried to get to that level. I feel that Zits is the first comic strip sense then to have the consistant brilliance as Calvin and Hobbes and The Far...

Victor is unsurpassable

Thu, 28 Dec 2000 00:29:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - Victor Wooten is probably the most talented if not inventive bass player out there. His background is actually in Bela Fleck and the Flecktones which as a lot of you know a bluegrass rock band. Victor decided to go his separate way and use his expertise...

Hotline Client PPC: It sure is hot!

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 21:53:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - A long time ago I downloaded this application, and for the life of me I could not figure it out. Well, after a while my friend found out about it and asked me if I had it. So, I told him how I was so computer illiterate and that I couldn’t figure it out...

Up, up and away

Thu, 14 Dec 2000 22:39:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - I don't actually own a Sony Playstation (yet) but I borrowed my friend’s with one game. That one game that he lent me was Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. Now, I had played the first one many, many times and heard that the second one was far inferior. I beg to...

It's a nice place to be!

Sun, 10 Dec 2000 22:02:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - For some reason whenever I have any sort of conversation with someone who's never been to California, they always think that I surf and sit on the beach. I mean I was in France and it started to rain and my friend started to explain to me what rain was,...

It showed me the light

Sun, 26 Nov 2000 00:00:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - What I loved most about this delightfully dramatic and suspensful film was the fact that the "bad guy" is depended on by the "good guys". Also what I enjoyed was the fact that unknown actors are really talented, I'd heard that...

Honor goes a long way

Sat, 25 Nov 2000 16:09:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - Wow! I recently saw this movie and I was so impressed I would have been willing to see it again that night. Cuba Gooding Jr. again gave an outstanding performance as Carl Brashear, a black farm boy from Kentucky who wanted to make something of himself...

Slightly more than just a hot chick in a red dress

Fri, 24 Nov 2000 01:07:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - I am a huge Brendan Fraser fan and an even bigger Elizabeth Hurley fan, if you know what I'm saying. I must say however that the movie George of the Jungle really gave Fraser a bad rap, this man really has some talent but it seems like every movie he's...

Very Very Dependable

Thu, 7 Sep 2000 02:00:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - I have been playing bass for almost 4 years, and have gone through many instruments. I started out with an unknown bass, then a couple months later I got an Etherin reggae bass because my previous one's neck got bent. After the reggae bass I got an...

Not my kind

Wed, 6 Sep 2000 23:26:12 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - You know, I strongly appreciate other cultures. When I get really bored I channel surf, like a lot of people, and whenever I get to TNN, i get extraordinarily diasppointed. The kinds of shows that are shown on it are really not that interesting to...

AOL Instant Messenger: The Best Instant Messenger

Wed, 6 Sep 2000 00:09:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - Instant messaging has entered a new era. Now, I know there are a lot of other instant messaging programs out there, but none of them even come close to AOL. The actual internet service AOL is not very good, but instant messenger is awesome, and it's...

You get TAN!

Tue, 5 Sep 2000 23:36:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - As a child my parents used to take me to the Big Island of Hawaii every year. It was great, but as I was getting older I wasn't so fond of it anymore. I wanted a different climate, aroma, feeling. And then I found Maui.

Maui is the kind of island...

Larson is a genius!

Tue, 5 Sep 2000 21:24:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - Ever wonder what Gary Larson was like as a child. I do, but that doesn't matter because as an adult he has drawn and written probably the most innoventive comic strip ever. What I don't understand is how he can come up with something hilarious about...

All Advantage: No Advantage

Tue, 5 Sep 2000 21:04:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - Recently, I have been very involved in these pay to surf programs. Unfortunately, All Advantage wasn't all it proclaimed to be. I was signed up for quite some time, made a lot of money, thats for sure. But what good is money if it is just printed on a...

Way better than the movie!

Sun, 3 Sep 2000 16:37:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - I made a huge mistake by seeing the movie before reading the book. It's actually funny how I got this book, and that I actually read all 530 some pages. One of my friends had stayed up late at night to watch the movie, but around 3 or 4 in the morning...

GOOD MOVIE

Fri, 1 Sep 2000 17:28:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bertaaf - I still crack up every time I think about this hysterically funny movie about an old proper english lady, who finds out that when her husband dies she had all sorts of taxes to pay. The only way she realizes she can pay off her debts is if she grows...
