A great movie with more to it than first glance

Tue, 12 Jul 2005 14:31:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author davegulliksen - I’ve been a long-time fan of Miyazaki films since long before they started getting translated into English. My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki’s Delivery Service are two of the best animated films ever made. To my knowledge, Howl’s Moving...

Not very good

Tue, 5 Jul 2005 23:11:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author davegulliksen - I just came back from seeing War of the Worlds, and I have to say I was quite disappointed. The plot bears little resemblance to the original, and it’s not an improvement. I found the plot to be overly maudlin, slow-paced, superficial, and full of...

A nostalgic trip for Douglas Adam fans but misses the boat

Mon, 2 May 2005 13:43:31 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author davegulliksen - I have read Douglas Adam’s entire 5-book trilogy of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, bought the mini-series on LD, and read all his other books. I had read the critics’ reviews on-line beforehand but I went anyway. In the end I had to agree with...

Stripped back - a shadow of its former self

Mon, 19 Jul 2004 14:21:15 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author davegulliksen - I have bought many of Overstreet's Price Guide issues, including every one of the first twenty years. Every year it became more and more accurate and comprehensive and I depended on it to give me details on almost every comic in existence including...

Not for the anime fan

Sun, 30 May 2004 08:32:44 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author davegulliksen - This CD is a remix of some of the best anime songs of a variety of theme songs from anime shows. The music has been altered to a hiphop/disco beat, and therefore not all that entertaining for someone looking for music from their favorite series. The...

Get it deeply discounted

Sat, 3 Apr 2004 09:28:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author davegulliksen - This box set of the first season of Sailor Moon uncut is in the Japanese language subtitled into English, published by A.D. Vision. There are 46 episodes of about 20 minutes each, in a large box with two smaller (and rather flimsy) boxes of DVD's in it,...

2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor: Somewhat pricey, more like a tall station wagon than an SUV

Tue, 6 Jan 2004 19:11:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author davegulliksen - I just bought a Mitsubishi Endeavor after shopping for a week when my 14-year old Sable station wagon finally became too problematic to keep. I would have bought another Sable except that the current design has very poor visibility. We needed a vehicle...

A funny and poignant adult level love story very well handled

Mon, 5 Jan 2004 09:13:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author davegulliksen - I recently bought the box set of His and Her Circumstances published by Animation World International Limited. The country of origin is nowhere to be found on the set, so I’m sure it’s not from the USA. Subtitles are in English and Spanish, and dialogue...

A unique series I highly recommend

Thu, 29 May 2003 23:05:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author davegulliksen - Alien 9 is not an anime to be watched casually. The very cartoony look of the series completely belies the powerful issues it addresses.

In summary, three 6th grade girls are voted by their classmates to be the part of the “Alien Defense...
