rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - Ah, the last installment of Harry Potter with the original cast all intact. Is it worth seeing? Yes. Is it a great movie? Yeah. Will it be a smash hit? Of course! Is it like the book or better? Of course not. How could it be? I didn’t know...

Sat, 20 Sep 2003 12:24:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - Chomin Nakae's discourse concerning the future of Japan was an important critique for the uninformed masses of Japan to become interested in. After the Shogun was defeated, factions restored the Emperor to power. This was between the Tokugawa and Me...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - I suppose I am infamous on Epinions for my recommends against certain locks. Since I got tired of getting "Not Helpful" remarks because of my negative comments on certain bike locks, I have refrained from writing on them for at least a year (maybe 2)...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - Quiet down class, because that is the end of my sarcasm.

I am a neophyte to the Marshall world. For years I put pedals before my crystalline Fender Amp with negligible results. I recently have taken a liking to Marshall products. I was out...

Simple design for people who play instead of twiddle knobs.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - Omen 6 was entering my dreams the night after I played one at my local Guitar Center. I laughed at the silly sounding Schecter name, but after trying what they had to offer, I was impressed.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - After moving out of my parents house and into an apartment I was absolutely paranoid of taking my Fender Super Reverb with me. It was made in 1964 and is in excellent condition. Since it was also way too big for my apartments good, I decided to get...

Small Weiner. Good Idea.

Mon, 30 Dec 2002 10:49:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - This Amp and review has nothing to do with weiners. Working at a guitar store I constantly hear about how bands buy unnecessary huge Marshall full-stack units and play too loud. Yes, Mr. Tufnel too loud can be a problem at times. I like how...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - When I first took up bass I was jaded.

As a beginning guitarist one can buy a relatively cheap practice guitar amp for $20-50 used. However bass players are less common as is beginner bass gear (not to mention used beginner bass gear). It...

This is the age of Sony's Aquarius

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - Why I bought it:

My wife wanted a CD player she could take to work. She also wanted it to play the Radio. I was surprised a company actually made a unit like this when I saw the Sony. It was basically the only choice in my area. I bought...

Nice, but not worth the extra money.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - So, no bologna...there I was...buying another DVD player because my last one finally did what I thought it might do (see my other Sony reviews). I was happy to have put up the money for insurance at Circuit City after my 2 DVD players back...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - Epinion readers,

Please be prepared for a scathing and callous review.

It all started back in 1996. I was an Internet newbie. My best friend was an army private stationed in Pensacola, Florida. Since his assignment had him...

I don't think this DVD looks sick at all.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - Ok so my title is absolutely presumptuous, and well...IMPERTINENT! However, this classic movie with a timeless message should be watched by everyone at least once if not owned.

I have liked this movie since I was a wee little lad. Like most...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - After viewing Yu Yu Hakusho's premere DVD, Yusuke Lost Yusuku Found, I was eager to view this installment. I was interested in the Death of Yusuke and how he would fully regain his material world form and go on living a normal life. After viewing this...

Yusuke Lost , the story in this long series.

Mon, 22 Jul 2002 16:50:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - First impressions with subliminal quotes: This series similar to Dragonballs, but the story is actually good. Yusuke, the main character dies in first episode nice touch. He does not recover too quickly and does not fully recover,...

Finally a Walkie-talkie that works.

Tue, 16 Jul 2002 16:46:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - Here goes the requisite opening paragraph:

When I was a kid I had walkie-talkies that should have been returned to the manufacturer by the retailer. They had a range comparable to shouting or using cans with string tied to them. One day...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - Here comes brandobean again to scrutinize anime that just should not have been. However, in this case I do not feel like this show deserved much negativity at all.

Princess Nine (First Inning) is an Anime about Ryo Hayakawa, a Junior High...

A perfect example of what every DVD should have.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - I'll leave the critique of this movie to others. They all say basically the same thing anyhow, "This is a fun movie. The plot is unrealistic. Hayley Mills is a doll..."

If you want to read a review of a recommendation of this movie, hit the...

Maybe This Movie Isn't For Kids Afterall

Thu, 10 Jan 2002 05:00:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - When I was 5 and saw this movie for the first time I was simply immersed in the enchantment of viewing a Disney Film. Popcorn, candy, and a root beer kept my mouth shut until the movie started rolling. As I sat there and witnessed the calamity and...

A Pong to Remember

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - (attempt at written satire coming your way)

I'll be straight to the point.

This Anime is terrible:

1. Animation is ugly

2. Music is just so so.

3. All plots are sick or perverted and sometimes both.

4...

Puzzle blah blah

Sat, 5 Jan 2002 04:32:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - After conquering every other puzzle game I have ever owned I decided to get this game thinking that it would be similar to a Japanese game I have called Ranma Jyanken. On this game you match like items such as water, then drop paper on it to get rid of...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brandobean - When will we ever use this junk? Yes, it is a common question a math teacher hears when he or she it teaching Algebra. It seems so abstract. It seems so much like...Tetris?!? Sure.

So what is the point of Tetris? To make as many lines as...
