The Prince of Soundtracks

Wed, 20 Dec 2000 14:37:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - If I had to make an action movie and my life depended on how much the score affected the audience, only one name would come to my mind- Michael Kamen.

Time and time again, the man has delivered with film scores that not only fit the event but...

Spirit in the Sky

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 20:45:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - "Failure is not an option"

With James Horner, failure never seems to be an option now, does it?

This is probably one of the most well compiled and produced soundtracks I have seen in a long time. The album tracks...

So Much Beauty in this World

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 17:27:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - "..there's so much beauty in this world, that my heart fills up like a balloon."

If you have seen the film you can visualize the scene: The voice of Kevin Spacey tells you about himself, as the camera shifts over his suburb...

Now This is Pod Racing!

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 15:06:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - "Now this is Pod Racing!"

Or at least it should be.

The Pod Race sequence in the film is so perfect for all kinds of merchandising follow-ups that sometimes I almost forget what came first- the movie or the...

CD MP3 Players VS The Rest

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 14:34:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - Your choice about whether you should buy the Philips Expanium is a very simple one, once you can decide if you should buy an MP3-CD player or not. If you are buying an MP3-CD Player, then the Expanium is the only one worth your money.

Oh Such a Perfect Day

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 13:48:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - I don't know how I can say it best without sounding like an idiot, but Trainspotting the album is one which is extremely varied in its moods but uniform in its feel.

Does that make sense? Let me elaborate.

I have not seen...

You Sexy Thing

Sat, 9 Dec 2000 18:48:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - This is an excellent collection of music of a similar mood; a mood you will understand perfectly if you have seen the movie. In fact, if you have seen the film, and enjoyed it, I can almost guarantee that you will enjoy the soundtrack album!

Kozmo Online Store: Killer Kozmo- now why didn't anyone think of this before?

Sat, 9 Dec 2000 18:00:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - Kozmo.com is an amazing idea; and they should be given an award for it if the idea was theirs. But somehow I doubt it. In fact, I first noticed the site when it was featured as a nominee for the most innovative site for the last year. Innovative...

Stay Protected 24 Hours: Norton vs. The Rest

Sat, 9 Dec 2000 16:17:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - You have the latest antivirus software and it works great; but what about that virus that just got out yesterday? Does that haunt you? It used to haunt me; before I got Norton Antivirus 2000 (NAV), that is.

The caption on the box...

The Times of India: The Face of India

Fri, 8 Dec 2000 00:46:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - The Times of India is arguably the most recognizable and widely read newspaper in India. The reason for this is that it is one of the few English dailies that is read all across the country.

The newspapers has separate editions...

In 21 Days???

Tue, 5 Dec 2000 17:27:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - I am always skeptical when I read a book that claims it will teach me mammoth software and programming in record time. I know it is not possible; so why bother? And I usually am right about them; they are neither here nor there, and end up somewhere in...

The Art of the Possible

Tue, 5 Dec 2000 16:59:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - Madonna as Eva Peron. First reaction: Somebody's looking for controversy! Second reaction: Wait a minute...

From that second reaction on, I never doubted that she could pull it off successfully. And she did.

There are two completely...

His way

Sun, 26 Nov 2000 14:50:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - Unlike most other reviewers of Frank Sinatra's music, his music does not serve as nostalgia for me. Why? Because I am "only" 21. His music is as new to me as that of Korn.

I am not saying that I had never heard of him; quite...

U2 Back to Basics

Sat, 25 Nov 2000 13:05:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - Judging from the past couple of albums, it had seemed that U2 was going the Madonna way; with each new album working as a new "experiment". While Pop probably tested Larry Mullen's limits and Zooropa tested Bono's (quite literally), they always...

The Rebellion

Thu, 9 Nov 2000 15:36:27 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - First of all I would like to say that this a great game for the Star Wars fans. It will feel like a much more personal strategy game than most others. For the Star Wars fan, there could be nothing better than sending Han Solo on a mission to destroy...

Order among Chaos

Thu, 19 Oct 2000 18:11:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - Richard Gleick is a master at explaining the most atrociously difficult science to the common man. He did it before with his biography of Richard Feynman (Genius), and he has done it again with Chaos.

Before reading Chaos, I had always thought...

Something Happened

Wed, 18 Oct 2000 19:48:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - What author Joseph Heller seems to be best at is writing from inside someone else's mind. Joseph Heller's Something Happened was his first book after the landmark Catch-22 and it differed from that novel in one respect. Where Catch-22 was the mind of an...

HTML Complete Reference

Wed, 18 Oct 2000 19:18:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - Life would have been a lot simpler if you could learn Rocket Science out of a book. But you can't.

Yet, in the realm of Computer books, this has been attempted again and again. Granted, becoming a web programmer ain't the same ballpark as...

The Ultimate Chocolate Shop

Wed, 18 Oct 2000 18:43:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author devanjedi - If ever there was a place that deserved the name Chocolate Shop, this is it. Imagine yourself out for a walk on a hot, sweltering summer afternoon down the Magnificent Mile. Ah, the mile is magnificent; but the weather is not. All you want is a nice...
