Atonement ....

Tue, 16 Apr 2002 03:29:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - Summary

Ian McEwan's tale of a woman trying to atone for a horrible act she committed as a young girl is spellbinding. His language is poetic and sticks in your mind after you put the book down. Intricately plotted but not overdone 'Atonement' is...

A Rebirth

Wed, 10 Apr 2002 15:42:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - Imagine that the best rock songwriter in the world came up to you and said, "Hey, I got together with my friends and recorded demos of some new tunes in my living room. Want the tape?" What would you say? "Wow! I can't wait to hear what the best rock...

Stripped Down And Ready For ROCK!

Wed, 10 Apr 2002 15:23:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - When I was a growing up, bands like Husker Du, the Feelies, and the Meat Puppets had me reeling in the pure bliss of rock and roll when I was still too young to understand the meaning of it all. As I went into my teens, along came bands like Pavement,...

Tear Jerking Yet Uplifting

Wed, 10 Apr 2002 15:05:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - Michael J. Fox has always been known as a nice guy. So what has he been DOING in Hollywood? In Hollywood nice guys often finish last. But in Fox's case, he beat the odds.

It's no secret that some of the Powers That Be weren't entirely...

Oceans of fun

Sun, 7 Apr 2002 20:23:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - Having heard a lot about this movie, I was looking forward to seeing it, and I must say it didn't disappoint. This has been one of the biggest movies in recent months, displacing 'Harry Potter' and 'Lord of the Rings’ from the top at the box-office (so...

GL1 is Great

Sun, 7 Apr 2002 13:36:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - I have been using the GL1 for nearly 1 year now. I take it out on shoots for a website I work on... sometimes I create QuickTime Movies; sometimes I take stills from footage and convert the stills to .JPG files.

The 30-lux capacity...

Jets to Brazil, need i say more?

Sat, 6 Apr 2002 23:46:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - So unlike the lyrical redundancy usually typifying rock songs, Jets to Brazil do something that Kurt Cobain, who once criticized the limitations of traditional rock song form: they offer something novel: tuneful vignettes set to highly melodic, almost...

The trio does it again!

Sat, 6 Apr 2002 23:36:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - I have been a huge fan of Alk3 for over a year now, and they get better with every album. They are one of the best live bands i have ever seen... Infirmary sounds a little strange at first and is not like many of their other releases. It has a new and...

Best Yet.

Sat, 6 Apr 2002 23:31:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - Taking steps backwards into psychadelic rock, The Anniversary have taken steps forward since their debut cd, Designing A Nervous Breakdown, and have become an anomally on their label, Vagrant. This isn't a bad thing; it's actually the best thing that has...

Not let down

Sat, 6 Apr 2002 23:25:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - I have anticipated the release of "The Moon Is Down" for a long while now, as Tooth & Nail kept promising that it was "coming soon!" But now it is finally here, and I am not disappointed in the least. Driving guitars fuel this album from start to finish,...

Shrek or Monsters.....

Sat, 6 Apr 2002 23:17:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - Two fabulous CG films were released in the year 2001. The first is the hugely popular (and brilliant) 'Shrek' which took the world by storm. The other was 'Monster's Inc. which many judged the film by its ad and immediately thought it would be another...

The DVD, Why Not?

Sat, 6 Apr 2002 23:13:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - I didn't really care for this movie, and I'm not the *BIGGEST* Harry Potter fan in the world. Nonetheless, I'm going to buy this DVD.

For one thing, It's got an excellent array of special features. For another thing, it happens to be the most...

They Could Be Better

Sat, 6 Apr 2002 23:07:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - I have owned 1 Motorola Talkabout Distance for about a month and a half. Two weeks ago I received my Talkabout 5100's. I brought all three radios on vacation to Sandestin, Florida with me last week. It is a huge place, and a lot of people were using FRS...

Linksys Etherfast Cable and DSL Router: A great router!

Sat, 6 Apr 2002 22:59:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - I don't think I can come up with anything really bad to say about this cool router. I have two of them, and know a networking guy here in town who uses them a lot for small businesses and home installations, and it is impressive. It not only has a...

Michael Moore Does It Again

Sat, 6 Apr 2002 22:53:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - Thank you Michael Moore! It is reassuring that someone still seems to have both a memory and a conscience. Moore assures us that, yes indeed, people still are seething about the usurpation of justice that the last Presidential election represented and...

A riveting tale

Sat, 6 Apr 2002 22:50:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - Fall on your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald is the epic story of a family that appears to be doomed from its inception. It starts with a young James Piper marrying a very young Materia Mahmoud, against her father's wishes. (She had been betrothed to...

masterpieces that you can take

Fri, 5 Apr 2002 21:50:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - To my mind, a camera should be a tool, not a participant. I love this camera, because it does whatever you tell it to do, and doesn't frustrate you with a lot of "smart" features. I had a 35mm camera once with "autofocus"-- so-called "point-and-shoot,"...

whooooweeee

Fri, 5 Apr 2002 18:23:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - Once you tame this wild, noisy, amphetamine-fueled, out-of-control beast of an album, it will be your best friend for a lifetime. Few albums are as off-putting on initial hearing; fewer still will reward you more after hundreds of spins. Inexplicably,...

More Adventure Books Like This Are Needed

Fri, 5 Apr 2002 17:57:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - "The Count of Monte Cristo" is definitely a must-read. One can be daunted by the length of this specific translation and the sheer thickness of the paperback, but do not be faint-hearted! It is worth the wait and effort.

The story is loosely...

one of the greats!

Fri, 5 Apr 2002 15:55:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - You plan a crime. It is solely of your design. The method. The place. The victim. Everything is your calculation. It is your conscious mind that has plotted the deed. It is your voluntary actions which carry it out. Every aspect of the crime belongs to...

one of the all time best!

Fri, 5 Apr 2002 15:47:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - If Charles Dickens's novels are a romanticization of Victorian England, then Dostoevsky's must be a realization of 19th Century Russia. "The Brothers Karamazov" not only sheds light on Czarist Russian life, society, and religion, but also succeeds in...

Dashboard continues "poeticism"

Fri, 5 Apr 2002 15:40:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - While his two previous releases, Swiss Army Romance and The Places You Have Come to Feel The Most, have been staples of emotional acoustic rock, Chris Carrabba's (Dashboard Confessional) new EP is the apex of his career so far. Unfortunately a short...

awesome headphones!

Fri, 5 Apr 2002 15:17:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - I finally found a hi-fi store in Los Angeles that was willing to order these headphones so I could try them on and listen. This was at the risk of my not even buying them.

I showed up to the store with the CD mix that I usually...

The best i could find

Wed, 3 Apr 2002 16:48:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - Although Pioneer is not the BEST for car audio, i do feel that this is the best sub $400 head unit out there. This is making the assumption that one does not plan on getting an amp or making significant upgrades beyond component speakers.

Well Worth the Money

Sun, 28 Jan 2001 17:21:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezra_kim - I use these Headphones with my Sony DEJ01 Discman. These headphones rock! If you take a normal CD that you've listened to for a long time and listen to it with these headphones, you'll hear things you never heard before! These headphones make it...
