Hitchhiker's Guide to Hilarity

Mon, 20 Aug 2001 17:01:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - What do you get when you cross Star Wars and Monty Python? The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is what you get. Before I read this book, I'd heard rumors of its existence, but had no idea what it was about. At the time I picked it up from the...

So long and thanks for the memories John Rutsey

Mon, 20 Aug 2001 14:46:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - I'd been a Rush fan for about a year before I got around to buying this, their first, album. i'd been listening to Moving Pictures which I'd picked up based on the radio play of Tom Sawyer. After listening to Moving Pictures the first time, I realized...

The Saltine That Defined the 90's

Mon, 20 Aug 2001 12:05:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - While Nirvana remains the band most people point to as defining the music of the 90's some folks think they defined nothing but how lucky a garage band could be if they just kept sounding like they were in the garage. For me, Cracker will be the band...

Cradle Will Snore

Fri, 26 May 2000 09:37:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - I didn't get it. This movie was seemed so transparent as to make me question what I was missing. Several hours into it (the film runs two and a half hours) I fell asleep. This was after falling asleep twice before in trying to struggle through it...

The Best

Sun, 6 Feb 2000 03:18:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - If man was allowed to choose only one beer with which to spend the rest of his life (kind of like that other tradition that encourages us to choose one _ _ _ _ _ to spend the rest of our lives with, much as we'd like to sample indefinitely) I would...

Keep it Down Under

Sun, 6 Feb 2000 03:08:42 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - When I was of an age that was not yet 21, I made a lot (since I had not the expenses of a 21 yr. old) of money. One Friday, I sent my buddy (who looked 21) into the local tavern (that sold beer to people who looked 21) with $21 and told him to get a...

Mixed Bag of Nuts

Sun, 6 Feb 2000 01:10:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - I sold my 1996 B2300 today. It was (still is most likely) red with an extended cab. I loved that my 4 year old could ride in the back jump seat without a car seat and that my 2 year old's car seat fit in the other back jump seat. I used the truck for...

Save Yourself From Saveur

Tue, 1 Feb 2000 14:49:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - Save Yourself! Run. Run away fast from this magazine. Why? Read it once and you'll be addicted. The recipes are too good. The photography makes you think years from now someone, somewhere will pay lots of money for the earliest issues. The writing...

Laughin' through the Holocaust

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 22:48:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - While I personally find Hogan's Heroes a laugh riot, does anyone else find it uncontrollably anti- something or other to depict comedy in a german prison camp? I realize the show is not located in Dachau and no one actually gets marched into an oven,...

Sometimes, ya just gotta say, what the duck

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 17:04:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - Who is the father of Huey, Dewey and Louie? Donald is their Uncle, and Scrooge McDuck is their (great) uncle? I've always been suspicious they were the love-spawn of Mickey Mouse and Daisy...a lover's moment gone bad. Then there's the old joke about...

Beverly Hills 90210: What's My Zip Again?

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 16:49:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - Is this show still on? I watched this 10 years ago as a goof. My wife and I would vege-out with the 90210 gang...ahhh...fond, fond memories. Are the kids still in school? They were in college the last I saw. The median age of the actors at the time...

Hey Dad, Did You Know...

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 22:00:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - Henry is God. A benevolent godzilla so to speak. Who is Henry? Your tour guide to Amazing Animals. Every episode features Henry with the "Narrator" taking you through a different theme of Amazing Animals: Armored Animals, Scary Animals,...

Top of the line

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 09:36:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - My wife and I bought our Viking Plus four and a half years ago when we had our first son. We loved everything about it from the sturdiness to the gentrified look. Unfortunately, our son gave up on it when he was one and a half preferring a $9.00...

Judas Priest: Priest Rules

Tue, 18 Jan 2000 14:14:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - While I haven't heard this album, I have to recommend anything by the Priest. Rob Halford and the boys never cease to provide a killer listening experience. I've often (well just now) thought that Judas Priest are the Rolling Stones of Heavy Metal...

Future VH1 Special - Where are they now?

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 23:29:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - A little bit of anything else would be better than this...the only good to come out of this gar-bahge is less time at the wedding/party for the chicken dance or the electric slide. Anyone interested in real Mambo would do much better checking out a band...

Bye Bye Williams Man

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 00:47:01 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - Some time, long long ago, Robin Williams was funny. What happened? Patch Adams, Patch Adams II, what else? Bicentennial Man? Geezus. The biggest bomb on this was the studio's media blitz. Who had any idea what this movie was about prior to seeing...

Frog and Toad Are Friends

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 00:39:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - I thought I was sick to death enough of future footnote Matt Damon to put a hot knitting needle into his liver. I was pleased to see that he was trying to cover up his good looks with glasses to show he was a talented actor polishing his craft. I was...

Got a Clue

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 00:27:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - Grrreat cd for kids. Younger kids will enjoy watching the characters from Blue's Clues on their computer. There's some cool effects like when a real-life looking Steve talks to you with an animated Blue in the background. I know a 2 and a half year old...

Don't Blow Your Top

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 00:06:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - No, no, no. I had to read this sucker for a Modern British Lit. seminar. One word, Bleeaagh. Come to think of it, none of the books I had to read were worthwhile...maybe that's why I got the C.

Seriously, I could not get into Volcano to...

Bleeeeaggh

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 23:10:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - Is this the same Tom Wolfe that brought us Bonfire? or was I less critical ten...fifteen years ago? Wolfe's take on the Atlanta real estate market may be interesting to anyone involved in Atlanta real estate, but the most interesting aspect I could find...

Free the Beasts

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 22:56:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - When I first picked up this book I thought "how great...a book about bras". Upon second glance, I saw it was about restraining beasts, not breasts.

Seriously, I'd read this book again. I'm biased as I used to install fences and...

Paddy Clark, On the Mark

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 22:47:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - I picked this book up at the local Good Will store, not expecting to like it. I'd read some negative reviews, but as this site proves a review is only as relevant as the reviewer. I found the book to be entertaining and a year after reading it, I still...

What a Babe

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 22:13:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - The only thing better than hitting the river with a vest of flies is watching Babe show you the tips of the experts. I have been trying to catch a fish for well over five years now and thanks to babe's tried and true techniques I think I now have a...

Douche Bigelow

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 15:38:10 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - Does anyone else see the parallels here between this "movie" and the skit Dan Akroyd used to do on SNL? What was it called...you know where Akroyd would look at the camera and say "something, something male prostitute". Wish I could...

We Want More Dick!

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 15:27:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author duhmack - After I realized this movie was not a porno, I felt sad, but then I realized it was my own stupid fault for not reading the jacket before I rented it.

Seriously, Dick is great.

If you liked Wag the Dog you will love Dick too...
