rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dionymnia - The Sanyo SCP-5000 is definitely a phone that would cause envy in your fellow wireless-using friends. The first week that I had it, I barely got to use it, so many people were playing with it, oohing and aahing over the nifty little features that it...

Tue, 1 May 2001 08:07:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dionymnia - The one thing that I have always hated about reading a great series of books is waiting for the next one to come out (if the series is unfinished), second only to the near grief felt when a series is finished, and one reads the last page of the...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dionymnia - I got into DVDs three years ago, and have been able to see the advantages that they hold over VHS. The only drawback for me is that the DVD player I had was actually a DVD-ROM in my computer. Thus, while I was able to watch DVD movies and use DVD...

Fri, 9 Mar 2001 07:08:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dionymnia - Obviously, the first thing to acknowledge in this review is what has been acknowledged by every other review, not to mention on every tech or news outlet in the media. Napster is nearing demise. It was inevitable, and it has only been postponed...

Sun, 5 Nov 2000 00:53:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dionymnia - It is finally here. A straight wireless phone with the capabilities to play MP3s. Quite a judicious move, considering it can be said with an amount of certainty that MP3s are here to stay. Maybe not FREE, but definitely around. It is fitting...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dionymnia - I have been using DialPad.com for about a year, and have seen it develop into a great service. PC telephony has come a long way in quite a short amount of time, and DialPad has been there to take advantage of that. How PC telephony works is that a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dionymnia - The Motorola StarTac ST7867 is a phone that reinforces the fact that wireless technology has not become just some new toy for the masses of America. With all the phones, from the pretty, shiny Samsungs to the Nokias with banana peel-like multi-colored...

Wed, 29 Mar 2000 07:48:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dionymnia - The Big Night is a movie that shows the greatness of the idealists, the dreamers. The movie itself exhibits the greatness of all those involved with its creation, and the story within the film mirrors such.

Set in the 1950s, the film...

Thu, 3 Feb 2000 15:23:23 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dionymnia - This movie could be summed up just by saying "Another teeny-bopper, pop music video, high school, dumbed down flick." But that would just be way too easy. There is so much more to criticize!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dionymnia - First things first: if you are not American, you may not enjoy this book...now, this comment is in no way whatsoever to be misconstrued as xenophobic. It's just that, in The Transmigration of Souls, the Americans get all of the cool stuff...

A Poorly Constructed Triangle

Mon, 31 Jan 2000 03:38:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dionymnia - The End of the Affair was a disappointment, to say it succinctly. The trailers and previews for this movie were intriguing, and were enough to consider going to see Ralph Fiennes, Julianne Moore, and the other superb actors in the film. However,...

Sat, 4 Dec 1999 23:56:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dionymnia - Tim Burton does it right on this one. This is a beautifully rendered film in the setting of 1799 New England. On the eve of a new century, the audience spends some time getting to know a new type of Ichabod Crane. If you've seen the Disney version of...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dionymnia - Kevin Smith's latest film, Dogma, certainly is a "step up" in respect to the subject he focuses on. He's done a day in the life of a clerk, followed by the day in the life of a mallrat, and then on to the comic book artist dealing with his...
