The god of Ankle Support

Thu, 3 Jun 2004 18:32:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - I've had my Tru-Fit ankle supports for over ten years and yes, I can still use them if need be. Pros: a) They do no hold in an excessive amount of heat in the summer or allow the cold to hit the joint in the winter. I've used them for running in...

Best Book on Vampires.

Wed, 18 Feb 2004 18:22:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - I guess "I loved it" isn't enough for a review. Well, that's really all I can say about it. This is the best non-fiction work I have ever seen on the subject of Vampires and other Undead. Ever. The author of the book examines vampires and other...

Wed, 18 Feb 2004 16:11:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - Thank God for favors big and small. Robert Fleming himself e-mailed me and asked if I'd like to review his book. I am so glad he did. In a nutshell "Havoc After Dark" is a collection of African-American Horror stories that are sure to have...

Takes it up a notch

Mon, 27 Oct 2003 15:46:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - Before reading this one, I recommend that you get the first book "Nice Guys and Players, Becoming the Men Women Want". While it is not necessary, it will get you in the frame of mind to fully absorb the information in this second book. In this book,...

Is This Advice or Promotion?

Tue, 21 May 2002 12:11:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - Orson Scott Card is considered a deity in science fiction and fantasy. I won't argue that. I also will admit that I took his advice into consideration when I wrote the second draft of my novel "Badlands: An Underground Science Fiction Novel" (available...

Excellence in Science Fiction

Tue, 16 Apr 2002 11:21:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - Brief summary: buy it, it's good, a must have for your bookshelf.

Walter Mosley's second science fiction novel "Futureland" is better written than some of the works by veterans. The book is a near future dystopia (cool---I get to use some of...

Arrogant Angst

Mon, 11 Feb 2002 16:17:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - Trouble on Triton is a good one. It's about a self-centered blond haired, blue eyed white male on another planet. In this future, Bron, the selfish protagonist, thinks that women are the sole reason for his dissatisfaction. So, in order to make up for...

Yeah, Okay, Sure (He's nuts)

Wed, 1 Aug 2001 11:00:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - The world is tired of sexism. Let's face it, anyone with any sense of being progressive realizes that the female gender has been held down throughout history.

Ashley-Montagu (A-M for short) does an excellent job at pointing out the...

Stupid Mecca Boy

Fri, 20 Jul 2001 13:08:39 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - The movie is very frustrating.

First of all, it starts off with an excellent sci-fi premise about machines being intelligence. The first scene involves a deep discussion about the capacity of an android to love. But then, once that gets your...

The Source

Fri, 20 Jul 2001 12:33:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - If you want to know what the Egyptians actually thought and said, then this is the book for you. Amen quotes the actually texts when possible along with writing analogies for modern times.

The Metu Neter is an oracle. While the book may not...

Dear Eminem

Wed, 25 Apr 2001 12:15:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - Actually, this epinion should be titled "Dear Eminem's Producers" because my impression is that when he is allowed to write whatever he wants, he's slamming, but when he's led to try to "be hard" or "be criminal", Slim Shady falls short.

Let...

Read Rom's Book!!!!!!!!!!!

Wed, 11 Apr 2001 11:45:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - I met the guy who wrote this book at a writer's conference. It's a GOOD book and he seems like he is a good person. I think that he wrote this one with sincerity.

"Nice Guys and Players" is a brief novellette that can be read in a single...

Crazy Thuggish Bisexual Poet

Mon, 26 Feb 2001 13:53:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - On the one hand, it is tempting to reject it outright because of the cacaphony of story lines and blending of cultural prospectives, but if I were to do that, I would deter you from a work that has an excellent use of imagery and character development...

Proflowers.com: Pro-Flowers-Dot--CON!!!!!!

Wed, 14 Feb 2001 15:57:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - Please, what ever you do, do not allow these charlatans to let you think that they can deliver your flowers on Valentine's day. As I write this epinion, I am on the line trying desperately to get through in order to tell them that they are not to bill my...

Ehhh.........

Tue, 2 Jan 2001 22:01:41 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - I can't say very much about this book, other than it was not very good. I hate to say that about an author's work, but the truth is that "They Fly At Ciron" is probably not one of his better works.

For those of you who don't know,...

Steep Price for Stupidity

Thu, 28 Dec 2000 22:14:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - I will begin this epinion with one caveat: since there are already 884, that's right, 884 OTHER epinions on this subject, I will allow myself to get creative. If you don't like creative epinions, than please stop reading now. Remember, dear reader, that...

Worth a Rental

Thu, 28 Dec 2000 21:48:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - It's worth a rental. I would NOT want to see it on full screen, but it is worth a rental for the two skits on there that are drop-dead hilarious.

Pauly Shore's skit is not one of them. Actually, I am annoyed with Pauly after this one because...

Sun, 17 Dec 2000 13:39:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - Sin the Animated Movie tells the story of a futuristic cop, Col. John Blade, and his team of police officers who work for Hardcore.

Asian Women Exhale

Fri, 8 Dec 2000 11:45:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - Black Women had "Waiting to Exhale"; white women had "The First Wives Club"; and now, women from China have "The Joy Luck Club."

Love It--It is a MUST SEE

Fri, 1 Dec 2000 16:57:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - Although there is really nothing new or original in this anime, Princess Mononoke is not to be missed.

I don't know what it is that takes me about this film. I have seen talking beasts, guns, princes, princesses and medieval imagery before...

Crazy White Man

Fri, 1 Dec 2000 14:12:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - If you think, you will be tempted to not like the movie because:

1) the lead character is the stereotype of the young Angry White Male. Yes stereotypes work, but they are STILL stereotypes. If I didn't know better I'd say he was designed by a...

OANKA-BLANASIAN

Fri, 1 Dec 2000 13:48:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - If you want to tackle racial diversity, then the lead character Akin in Octavia Butler's "Adulthood Rites" is the poster child for interracial children. He is part African-American, Chinese, and Oankali--a species that survives by mixing their...

Good Ranting

Thu, 16 Nov 2000 17:58:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceciltheme - Call this woman the Misanthropic B***h on mental steroids. Basically, this book is a collection of her best rants and critiques on things ranging from bisexuality to feminism, sexual art history and an interview with a female former member of the Black...
