BASEketball is easily one of my favorite comedies. It does pretty much exactly what would would expect it to do, and that is deliver laughs from start to finish. Now, while that sounds easy, one look at... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~418225819268 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 19:44:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_418225819268?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_418197573252?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author briantw - **Note that this review was originally written for and posted by me on GameFAQs.

Sure, it's incredibly stupid, and it contributes no ultimate message to society, but Pootie Tang succeeds where every comedy must to be... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~418194230916 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 15:26:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_418194230916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_418025541252?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author briantw - **This review will cover both the Blu-Ray and standard DVD versions of this release.** Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from season three of Lost. Sure, season two ended with a bit of a bang, but most of the season felt wasted, focusing too much on... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~418025541252 Tue, 12 Feb 2008 04:54:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_418025541252?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416883117700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author briantw - As I mentioned in my review of the first season of Lost, I never got a chance to view that particular season on DVD, and perhaps that was for the best. Honestly, Lost seems like the type of show that is best viewed all together, as it's much easier to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416883117700 Sat, 2 Feb 2008 16:47:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416883117700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416880365188?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author briantw - I'll admit it, I missed out on the Lost bandwagon during the first season. I had heard good things about the show, but never quite enough to pique my interest, as I was already following numerous other shows, and the prospect of watching one where a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416880365188 Sat, 2 Feb 2008 16:11:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416880365188?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416827215492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author briantw - Since I first picked up my puppy about six months ago, Kong toys have been one of the mainstays in my home. They are built to last, dogs seem to love mauling them, and they are moderately priced. Anyway, I recently purchased the Kong Wubba after a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416827215492 Sat, 2 Feb 2008 04:39:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416827215492?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416826756740?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author briantw - When I first picked up my puppy, he was on Hill's Science Diet food for large breed puppies. I kept him on that for a while, as I trust the brand, and it came recommended by my puppy's vet (along with a few other brands). However, after about a month... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416826756740 Sat, 2 Feb 2008 04:26:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416826756740?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416819220100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author briantw - **Please note that the following review references only the single-player portion of the game, and that this review was originally written for and published on GameFAQs.** The so-called "extreme sports" genre peaked with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416819220100 Sat, 2 Feb 2008 02:36:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416819220100?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416792284804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author briantw - **Note that this review was originally written for and published on the GameFAQs website.** BioShock starts with a bang.

The local liquor store where I live charges the exorbitant price of 212 dollars for a bottle, and I knew that I could find a better deal online if... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416790318724 Fri, 1 Feb 2008 21:20:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416790318724?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416789335684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author briantw - I purchased my first bottle of Crown Royal a few months ago at the local liquor store, as I had always heard positive things about it, and my bottle of Maker's Mark had recently run dry. While I can't say it's the best whiskey I've had, I can say that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416789335684 Fri, 1 Feb 2008 21:08:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416789335684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416768429700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author briantw - As I mentioned in my review of Johnnie Walker Black Label, I'm relatively new to the world of whiskey. At least, I'm new to many of the better whiskeys. Prior to this year, I stuck mostly to Maker's Mark, which I know is decent, but it doesn't quite... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416768429700 Fri, 1 Feb 2008 17:49:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416768429700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416695946884?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author briantw - Let me start by describing my situation. I'm twenty-three, in college, and have spent much of the past few years developing a taste and respect for good beer. Well, I feel that my taste for beer has pretty much peaked (I can barely drink Budweiser,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416695946884 Fri, 1 Feb 2008 03:32:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416695946884?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416681332356?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author briantw - Coming off the heels of one of the greatest seasons of television I've ever seen, I guess I should have expected to be disappointed by Season Three of Rescue Me. After all, how exactly do you surpass what was, to many viewers, televised perfection?... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416681332356 Fri, 1 Feb 2008 00:43:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416681332356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416679956100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author briantw - Season Two of Rescue Me is television heaven. It's really as simple as that. If you love good TV, there's no reason you shouldn't own at least the first two seasons of this show, and especially the second, as dramatic television just doesn't get much... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416679956100 Fri, 1 Feb 2008 00:23:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416679956100?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416663572100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author briantw - To me, The Sopranos was always a bit of a mystery. Since I don't have HBO, I never got to watch the show on television outside of watching part of the first episode on demand a few years ago (although I failed to get into it at the time). It was always... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416663572100 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 21:55:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416663572100?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416557010564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author briantw - Rescue Me is the type of show that isn't for everyone. It's harsh, brutal, and vulgar at times, but then, that's why so many people have fallen in love with it. It's a show that pulls no punches, shows life as it actually is (with some obvious... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416557010564 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 03:14:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416557010564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416378228356?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author briantw - I recently purchased a Sony PlayStation 3 game console. I won't lie. I mostly bought it for the Blu-Ray player, as I recently upgraded to a 42" 1080p plasma television and wanted to make the most of it. However, as a gamer by nature (I already owned... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416378228356 Tue, 29 Jan 2008 18:35:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416378228356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416371412612?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author briantw - Here's a summary of my experience: 1/16/08 - I place an order for an Onkyo home theater system from their Amazon.com storefront.
