[i]The Door To... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~321191120516 Sat, 17 Feb 2007 02:38:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_321191120516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_265468153476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - Just to warn you, this isn't a review (although I do feel that this is a four star film), but it's actually a dissection of the plot, for everyone who was left scratching their heads. Naturally, this gives away EVERYTHING in the movie. Since the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~265468153476 Sat, 14 Oct 2006 01:27:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_265468153476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_239690157700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - Let it be made clear that I've never really had the patience for most RPGs. Honestly, Final Fantasy VIII was the only RPG that ever really appealed to me, and Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night, if you can count that as an RPG (well, action/RPG). The... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~239690157700 Sun, 2 Jul 2006 01:41:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_239690157700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_219262062212?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - First of all the fact that Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire has received so many poor reviews and is regarded as the worst of the four films on Epinions is completely ridiculous. Were we watching the same movie? Harry Potter And The Goblet... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~219262062212 Mon, 30 Jan 2006 21:01:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_219262062212?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_219187875460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - If you only ever purchase one Satriani album, make it The Anthology. I can't believe there aren't any reviews for it yet. You get the best tracks off of the famous Surfing With The Alien album (with the notable exception of "Circles"), as well as... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~219187875460 Sun, 29 Jan 2006 20:58:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_219187875460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_210960354948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - You could make the argument that Dutch band Golden Earring's first 80's album (known as Long Blond Animal in the US) was also their best of the decade. It certainly was a breath of fresh air for me after suffering through albums like Switch and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~210960354948 Sat, 12 Nov 2005 01:01:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_210960354948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_210664853124?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - Final Fantasy VIII is one of the greatest games ever made, and the soundtrack is definetely worth the money. Quite a few of the love songs are re-mixes of Faye Wong's "Eyes On me", which was recorded for the game, and is the main theme, but they are... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~210664853124 Tue, 8 Nov 2005 22:08:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_210664853124?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_210662887044?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - NEWS was Dutch rock band Golden Earring's 1984 release, and contains their second greatest song ever recorded (after "Twilight Zone"). The song I'm referring to is "When The Lady Smiles". This song alone is worth the price of admission and then... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~210662887044 Tue, 8 Nov 2005 21:43:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_210662887044?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_210450550404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - Dutch band Golden Earring are still to this day known as obscure one-hit wonders in America, and likely always will be. If you asked 100 Americans to list the longest-lived rock bands in existance, you'd hear "The Stones" and "Zeppelin" but no one is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~210450550404 Sun, 6 Nov 2005 21:35:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_210450550404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_210387832452?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - I absolutely loved the often-ridiculed Castlevania 64, which played similar to Zelda 64, and I also loved Symphony Of The Night. And while incredibly fustrating, Castlevania IV (the better known of the two SNES Castlevanias) was great as well. When I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~210387832452 Sun, 6 Nov 2005 03:14:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_210387832452?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_173808586372?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - The first time I watched Bride Of Chucky, I was infuriated with what they had done to the series. Instead of continuing on with the franchise's horror roots, it turned into a silly teen sex comedy with little to no horror involved. You may remember I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~173808586372 Fri, 18 Feb 2005 01:24:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_173808586372?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_173098241668?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - Well, I finally got around to watching the latest (fifth) installment of one of my favorite horror franchises. I loved the first three (espescially the second), and Bride Of Chucky was a big departure and a bit too silly but it was still a decent... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~173098241668 Sat, 12 Feb 2005 00:30:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_173098241668?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_169013382788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - This review is coming from someone who's never seen the movie, but has read quite a few Stephen King books, including The Shining, Pet Sematary, and Gerald's Game. I've never met a Stephen King but I didn't like, and Misery is definetely one of the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~169013382788 Mon, 10 Jan 2005 00:07:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_169013382788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_168873856644?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - In the first Child's Play, released in 1988, we were introduced to Charles "Chucky" Lee Ray (Brad Dourif), the Notorious Lakeshore Strangler. Mortally wounded in a toy store by the police, Ray transfers his soul via voodoo magic into the only thing he... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~168873856644 Sat, 8 Jan 2005 18:55:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_168873856644?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_167818923652?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - Symphony Of The Night is without a doubt, the most respected entry in the long-running franchise that got its start on the old NES in the late 80's. And for good reason. This is simply a beautiful gem of a game. I had previously played Castlevania... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~167818923652 Sat, 1 Jan 2005 21:41:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_167818923652?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_167424528004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - It's hard to imagine how the series has deteriorated from this original, chilling film into the farce it is today, ever since they ran the series into the ground with 1998's Bride Of Chucky. Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif from The Lord Of The Rings:... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~167424528004 Wed, 29 Dec 2004 23:06:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_167424528004?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_166956273284?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - I know, I know. Everybody HATES Castlevania 64. Why else do you think you could I was able to buy it for about 15 bucks shortly after it came out? You know the game I'm refering to. It's that cartridge sitting at the bottom of the bargain bin at... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~166956273284 Mon, 27 Dec 2004 01:30:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_166956273284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_166939233924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - I'll admit it-Final Fantasy 8 was my first in the series and my first RPG. Although I have a huge collection of video games, I&#146m probably not what one would see fit to label a *hardcore* gamer. With my miserable attention span, I typically need... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~166939233924 Sun, 26 Dec 2004 22:32:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_166939233924?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_166932090500?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - The Chucky collection is a box set that comes with three widescreen DVDs-Child's Play 2, 3, and Bride Of Chucky. It also came with a free pass to see Seed Of Chucky (never seen it) in theaters, but it's expired by now.

Nothing could have piqued my interest more than a woman trying to escape... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~166536908420 Thu, 23 Dec 2004 01:14:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_166536908420?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_166251826820?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - Everbody's heard of The Sims, right? It's the life simulator for your PC. Entirely pointless, time wasting, but unbelievably entertaining. It's like playing with Barbies or dolls-only on your PC. Plus, YOU create all the characters. After... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~166251826820 Tue, 21 Dec 2004 00:37:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_166251826820?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_165989748356?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - I will admit that the Child's Play series is a guilty pleasure for me. The first three films were all definetely some of my favorite horror films of all time. There's just something about a creepy red headed doll running around with a knife cursing... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~165989748356 Sun, 19 Dec 2004 01:38:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_165989748356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_158394257028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - The Silent Hill series of video games are known for their disturbing atmosphere and ingenius, obscure plots. In fact, I have a feeling that if any of the Silent Hill games were condensed into a paperback, they would do quite well. It's hard to believe... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~158394257028 Thu, 14 Oct 2004 21:20:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_158394257028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_158280617604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - This is one of my favorite books of all time. It's frightening, riveting, and suspenseful. It's a shame it hasn't been made into a movie, although as graphic as the book is, it would most certainly be rated R, and unless seriously censored, I doubt... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~158280617604 Wed, 13 Oct 2004 18:51:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_158280617604?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_156026900100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author despina83 - This North American-only 1989 compilation album goes side by side with their 1974 release, Moontan, as about as far as American's knowledge of the band goes. But, most will be surprised to know that the band formed around the same time as the Rolling... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~156026900100 Thu, 23 Sep 2004 17:42:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_156026900100?linkin_id=8003929
