Starts Strong...Runs Dry

Fri, 3 Sep 2004 12:03:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - V: The Series was a very odd television show. On one hand, The Final Battle ended and it was a very satisfying end to the 10 hour miniseries. But this weekly series did actually made some interesting points to the ongoing story but it was soon abandoned...

Very Uneven

Thu, 10 Jun 2004 12:03:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - I sat down to A.I. expecting a movie full of wonder and amazement. I got that at times. At other times, I wanted to turn it off. When it was finally over, I really wanted to like this film but I just felt like I was in a ship on stormy seas and was...

Great Features But Unreliable

Thu, 10 Jun 2004 12:00:13 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - Pinnacle Studio 8 is a good program with hints of greatness. There are a lot of nice features and its ease of use is currently unmatched. However, the program is not without its programming flaws. Studio 8 is easy to install. Basically, put in the...

Poor Story Redeemed by Character Moments

Thu, 10 Jun 2004 11:57:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - Star Trek V ranks at or near the bottom of the Trek films for most fans and casual viewers. And upon viewing this on its special edition DVD, my opinion has not changed. This is a film that tries hard but ultimately fails due to poor plotting, sub-par...

A Good Start

Thu, 10 Jun 2004 11:50:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - Star Trek: Voyager, on a whole, was a series of missed opportunities. They had an interesting premise but it was not built on and fell into normal "episodic" television in the later seasons. That said, the first season, while short, was one of the...

Good For Basic Use

Wed, 26 Jun 2002 15:26:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - My wife is an avid 35mm camera buff and is still not sold on digital photography. Well I came across a good deal on a Polaroid PDC 1300 camera and despite some shortcomings, I am quite impressed of what you get for the price.

First of all,...

A Defining Moment

Tue, 14 May 2002 14:57:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - I've been a Rush fan since 1984's Grace Under Pressure. Since then, I've looked forward to each new release as every album seems to build on their past while continuing to try new musical styles.

It has been a nearly 6 years since Test For...

Microsoft Windows XP Professional (E85-00086) For PC: The Best Windows Ever

Sun, 11 Nov 2001 11:03:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - I may be going out on a limb here, but Windows XP is the most important upgrade to the Windows operating system since Windows 95. In addition to a new look, it offers stability, ease of use and more Internet integration than ever before.

Great story and acting ruined by uneven script.

Mon, 5 Nov 2001 17:21:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - Poltergeist II is a good movie lost in a bad one. The back story to the original film is revealed and it quite good but the movie falls apart when it should deliver.

The film opens up with a Native American being given a "spirit" to help...

The Definitive History of Video Games

Mon, 22 Oct 2001 13:08:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - The First Quarter: A 25-year History of Video Games is an extremely interesting book, if you are curious at all about the dawn of video games. I myself am a big fan of older video game systems. Being an owner of Atari, Intellivision and Colecovision, I...

Simply the best football game ever.

Wed, 17 Oct 2001 13:59:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - NFL2K1 was the reason I bought a Dreamcast. Even knowing the Dreamcast had been discontinued, I decided to pick one up because I was just so impressed when I first saw NFL2K in a demo at a store.

When I started NFL2K1, I just starred in awe at...

Give it a 2nd chance...

Tue, 16 Oct 2001 15:19:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - Lost in Space is one of those movies where you may not have liked it when you first saw it but when given a 2nd chance, you will find it very entertaining.

First of all, the original series was never one to be thought provoking. It was...

One of the Best Films of All Time

Fri, 24 Aug 2001 16:27:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - Close Encounters is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It has a place in my heart that no other movie can have. I have always been interested in stories about UFO's (even though I don't really believe in them) and this was the first movie I ever...

Best Album of 2000

Fri, 10 Aug 2001 15:55:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - XTC's Wasp Star was the best album of 2000. Why it didn't get noticed is beyond me. In the days of all of these "unknowns" making the top of the charts it is hard to believe an album as good Wasp Star wasn't up with Steely Dan for album of the year.

Not A True Expansion Pack

Wed, 23 May 2001 11:15:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - Elite Force is my favorite first person "shooter." The story and graphics are all top notch and it was a lot of fun to play. When I heard that there was going to be an expansion pack, I got myself ready for another engrossing adventure.

Well,...

A good but extremely overrated effort.

Mon, 21 May 2001 12:31:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - I am a huge R.E.M. fan. I own every one of their albums and each one has it's own "personality." Whatever mood I am in depends on which R.E.M. album I listen to. I never tire if LIFE'S RICH PAGEANT, which is my favorite R.E.M. recording. I can listen to...

An Epic Event.

Mon, 7 May 2001 10:20:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - Watching Superman The Movie is an experience. Not only are you treated to a film good for the kids, but there are also many moments that will thrill adults. The movie is filled with emotion, action and incredible excitement.

The movie opens...

Extremely Disappointing.

Sat, 5 May 2001 12:21:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - THE MUMMY was a surprise hit in 1999. It at all of the elements of the great INDIANA JONES films with a lot of originality. Plus the characters were all likeable and the dialogue was extremely witty. This year, we are presented with THE MUMMY RETURNS, a...

Scary Movie Ruined By Profanity

Wed, 2 May 2001 17:29:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - The Blair Witch Project is a scary movie indeed. Personally, I have gone out looking for local “scary” legends and at times, spooked myself silly. The Blair Witch project gave me a chance to investigate another “local legend” from the comfort of a...

Disturbing, Entertaining...

Mon, 30 Apr 2001 17:07:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica -

Bad language and violence aside, this is one of the best movies of the 90's! This actually is a lighthearted police drama with many surprises. One of the surprises is the depiction of small town Arkansas. They may have finally gotten it...

Solid Modem

Fri, 27 Apr 2001 16:38:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - I have been a loyal customer to Creative. I feel that they make and market good products and when I needed it, they had excellent repair service. I have owned Soundblaster 16, 32 and 64 and I now have a Live! I also own a 3D Blaster graphics card. Now, I...

Should be on MST3K

Fri, 27 Apr 2001 10:45:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - Poltergeist III is both good and bad. First the bad!

The Plot: Carol Anne has moved to Chicago to live with her Aunt and Uncle so that she could go to a "gifted" school. This doesn't make sense, because since her parents love her so much, why...

Best Kept Secret in Music!

Fri, 27 Apr 2001 09:52:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - Back in 1992, I saw the Skeletons in concert at an outdoor event in Little Rock, Arkansas. They were an opening act for Weird Al. However, when they left the stage, I was wanting more. These guys were good.

So, I picked up a copy of WAITING...

Maybe the BEST Six Flags Park

Sun, 18 Feb 2001 01:00:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - My wife and I have been season pass holders to Six Flags for 3 years. We recently decided to go beyond our closest park (which is in Dallas; we are in Little Rock.) So, last year, we went to Fiesta Texas. We were very impressed.

The first...

The best episode of Season 1.

Sat, 27 Jan 2001 01:02:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianjessica - "The Hungry Sea" is the best Lost in Space episode of the season and maybe of all time.

The first 5 episodes of the series all tie together and end with this episode. At this point in time, the Robinson’s were well on their way traveling...
