Selections from all of Ani's career, but not as good as an Ani concert

Sat, 25 Sep 1999 04:58:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coffman - This was the first Ani album I bought. I recommend it to anyone who is intrigued by Ani's folk-punk music, her rhythmic, acoustic guitar or her brilliant songwriting. The reason I say this is because it includes songs from all through Ani's career, and...

A rare and surprising film

Sat, 25 Sep 1999 04:16:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author coffman - American Beauty begins and ends with aerial shots of the suburban neighborhood (Anytown, U.S.A) where the Burnhams make their (broken) home. The point is to emphasize just how ordinary life here is - tree-lined streets and houses with white picket...

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: An immersing experience

Mon, 20 Sep 1999 03:18:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author coffman - If you enjoyed Myst and were not too frustrated by it, you will probably love Riven, but it's certainly not for everyone. I'm very fond of the gameplay found in these titles, but it's not action packed. I remember playing Cyan's first title, The...

Cambridge Soundworks New Ensemble II Subwoofer/Satellite Stereo Speaker System (Charcoal): The Ensemble II - A Fantastic Value

Sat, 18 Sep 1999 06:17:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author coffman - I bought my Cambridge Soundworks Ensemble II speaker set last summer. My stereo was a Sony bookshelf system, which had a reasonably powerful receiver (100w x 2) but was lacking on the speaker side. I had spent about $400 on the system the year before...

Perfect for College

Sat, 18 Sep 1999 05:28:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coffman - I have to begin by saying that I haven't purchased an iMac. I entered college the year before they were released, and so I purchased a Power Mac 7300, which has served me well but represented a very different breed of Macintosh. The next year, the iMac...

A Must See - Stunning, Haunting and Poetic

Sat, 18 Sep 1999 05:05:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author coffman - Sometimes a dramatizations actually improve on the novel. Russell Banks' novel by the same name was wonderful in its own right, but this film transcends it.

The Sweet Hereafter is not an easy film to watch. Early on, the event upon which the...

A great team but mediocre result

Sat, 18 Sep 1999 04:41:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author coffman - I was looking forward to this movie. Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy are sort of a comedy dream team, but I ended up being disappointed. It certainly had its moments. Eddie Murphy (playing two characters) was fantastic in the role you first see him...

A pleasure to listen to

Sat, 18 Sep 1999 04:10:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coffman - I didn't have to read a review to buy this album. It's difficult for me to pick up a Sarah McLachlan album and not be impressed. But as I look back I realize that this little album has found its way into my CD changer more often than many of its...
