Good idea, mediocre execution

Sat, 14 Jan 2006 01:46:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - Just what really happened that legendary night at Grandma's house? The idea behind this movie is quite novel. Take a well known fairytale - Little Red Riding Hood - and write an hour and twenty minute movie around it. Sure, others have expanded...

Clearly Better Than The Price Implies

Thu, 2 Oct 2003 23:26:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - We just recently replaced our second Lexmark printer with the Epson Stylus CX5200. The biggest drawback of the Lexmark is, I believe, one of the strongest suits for the CX5200. When the Lexmark ran out of ink, you had to buy another print cartridge. At...

A Cut Above the Competition

Wed, 1 Oct 2003 23:35:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - When I finally got fed up with my old cassette player, I went with a brand of CD player that I learned to trust years ago: Nakamichi. After installing a CD-45z, I was amazed at how unimpressed I could be by a CD player. It had to go. And, went it did...

Getting Warmer

Mon, 29 Sep 2003 22:31:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - 431. 618. 1028. 431! That is the total number of pages in Teeth of the Tiger. Wow. That alone is worth buying the most recent Clancy novel. Compared to 618 and 1028 (!) pages in Red Rabbit and The Bear and the Dragon, respectively. Clancy turn...

Got a Heavy Foot? Here's What You Need...(UPDATED )

Thu, 20 Feb 2003 00:30:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - I have often philosophized that there are some things in life for which you should pay a minimum price: adjustable wrenches, wall paint, lobster, and radar detectors. Since you're here, I'll assume it's the radar detector you want to read about. The...

The Z's Fraternal Twin...But which is better?

Sun, 26 Jan 2003 01:53:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - For the last generation of 300ZX, when Nissan added a back seat, the name changed to 300ZX 2+2. But, with the new 350Z sporting only two seats, Nissan insists that the Infiniti G35 Sport Coupe is NOT a 350Z 2+2. Nissan is exactly correct. And they are...

A True "Sports" Car

Wed, 25 Dec 2002 02:16:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - This review is based on a test drive of a 2003 350Z Enthusiast version with a 6 speed transmission.

I'll skip the hype about the rebirth of the 350Z. I'll assume you know something about the Z lineage since you're here. The new 350Z...

Not his best, BUT...

Thu, 10 Oct 2002 22:58:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - First off, I thought Red Rabbit was a pretty good book. I thought Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, ... Rainbow Six, were great books. However, Red Rabbit was definitely better than Bear and the Dragon, if for no other reason than it was much...

The Real Thing

Sat, 21 Sep 2002 20:13:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - With over 50(!!) SUVs available on the US market, and more coming, the Durango stands apart in its styling. It looks like nothing else. And unlike many of the mid-size and small import SUVs, it has plenty of muscle to back-up its stance. However, it may...

Few frills, But it cooks well

Tue, 20 Aug 2002 22:37:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - My wife got me this grill for Father's Day this year. She found it at Home Depot for $259.

The grill is pretty well built. The wheels are the same flimsy plastic as most all grills these days, but the frame is solid. The grill surface is...

It's Bad

Tue, 13 Aug 2002 23:00:04 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - This movie is bad. If you like Dana Carvey or Adam Sandler (the executive producer), then don't see this movie. Then you'll still like them. If you thought the "Turtle, turtle" thing was funny, then understand that is doesn't get any funnier - at all...

Best Multi-Changer for the Money

Tue, 13 Aug 2002 22:47:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - (Note: This review is essentially copied from where I posted in the DVD-CV51 section under the title "For the DVD-CV52 - replacement for the 51". However, I have added a few updates since that posting was several months ago.)

The DVD-CV52 is...

Your young kids are ok - so are Mom and Dad

Sun, 7 Jul 2002 00:31:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - This movie was not on our list of "gotta see" movies. We were planning on renting it. But, today with nothing to do, we saw it was playing at the dollar (well, now two dollar) theater and packed up the kids and set off. We were very pleasantly...

Worth Every Penny

Thu, 20 Jun 2002 01:35:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - This review was originally posted for the 2801, prior to the 2802 being available in epinions.

The major difference (between the 2802 and the 2801) is the addition of Dolby Pro Logic II. And I must say this is an excellent addition.

For the DVD-CV52 - replacement for the 51

Thu, 20 Jun 2002 00:32:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - This review is actually for the DVD-CV52 (electronics come out faster than epinions adds categories). If you're looking for a 51, please read on though.

The DVD-CV52 is the replacement for the very popular and well regarded DVD-CV51. The...

It's About Passion!

Fri, 1 Feb 2002 00:44:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - Have you ever put your window down to hear the engine of the Ferrari next to you? Have you ever test-driven an exotic car just because you could? Have you ever gotten up at a ridiculous hour to watch a Formula 1 race? Do you say "Porscha"?

Definitive Technology ProCinema 100: If you don't know Def Tech - Get to Know Them!

Wed, 30 Jan 2002 02:25:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - I was originally turned on to the Def Techs by an article in Sound & Vision. In the article, the editors put a complete home theater (HT) system together for couples in different price ranges. One of the systems featured the ProCinema 100 system, which...

A Good Investment

Sun, 27 Jan 2002 03:43:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - When my old MTD self-propelled finally began to face death, I decided to get a really good mower. Based off EVERY piece of information I read, the Honda looked like a very good bet. I found this model at Home Depot for $349.

As I was loading...

Very pleased

Sun, 27 Jan 2002 03:19:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - This is our first all-Maytag kitchen. Although we haven't been impressed by the refrigerator, we have been impressed by the dishwasher, microwave, and, especially, the range. The 5770 is an excellent product.

My wife - who is a cleaning...

Go With a Kenmore

Sun, 27 Jan 2002 02:54:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - This was our first all Maytag kitchen. Although we're satisfied with the dishwasher, range, and, to a lesser extent, the microwave, I must say we strongly preferred our previous Kenmore fridge. Compared to that 27 cu. ft. model, the Maytag seems to be...

Very good job doing what you buy a dishwasher for

Sun, 27 Jan 2002 01:50:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - Our Maytag 6100 has always done an excellent job cleaning dishes, no matter how dirty the dishes are going in. In past dishwashers, we've had to run really dirty pots through multiple times and often found plates and utensils still dirty. Not so with...

A Good Value for the Money

Sat, 26 Jan 2002 03:42:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - I have found the XL-FZ258BK to be a very good performer. I have this 5 disc player hooked to my bathroom system and not my main system, but the sound has been very good. No complaints in sound at all. Disc exchange is a very good feature, which allows...

Beats manual cleaning

Wed, 16 Jan 2002 02:02:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - We run our Polaris about 3 hours per day in a 40x20' pool. Although we don't have a lot of trees, it does an excellent job at removing any leaves or debris that make it to the bottom. Because our pump (which drives the Polaris) is not on a timer, we...

Booksamillion.com: Why can't their stores be this good?

Wed, 16 Jan 2002 01:15:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dimeadip - I recently ordered a book from them. The book was about $15 on-line. $28 in the store. The clerk said they had more overhead in the store. $13 dollars worth of overhead for one book? Their coffee's not THAT good!

Anyway, the on-line price...
