One of my all time favorites

Mon, 3 Jun 2002 00:37:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - I first saw "Glory" on a flight to Korea. I really enjoyed it when I first saw it 10 years or so ago, and I still love the movie. It has become one of the best movies in my personal collection.

I was in 4th grade when I first saw, "Glory."...

A decent turntable for those who cannot afford Technics

Sun, 2 Jun 2002 23:51:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - I have always supported Gemini products. As a beginning DJ, I could not afford high end turntables and mixers that Technics and Pioneer spit out. So when I started out, I started with the Gemini Scratch Pack. After using those nasty belt drives, I...

I never thought I'd listen to a Christian band...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - I have always liked Sunny Day Real Estate's musicianship and songwriting skills. I was awaiting "The Rising Tide," with great anticipation...and when it finally was released I was scared to hear the finished product because I have read somewhere that...

The Mustang Cometh...

Sat, 25 May 2002 07:33:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - I've always been intrigued by Ford Mustangs. Finally, as an adult, I was able to afford my first car. So, predictably I picked a 2001 Ford Mustang.

First off, I was impressed by the design of the body. Yes, that is not what makes a car,...

Jack Is The Man

Wed, 20 Jun 2001 05:49:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - I always seem to end up going to Jack In The Box when I need something inexpensive to eat on the run. The drive thru window is open 24/7 which is a Godsend to those who come home late at night from the clubs, concerts, or the late night work shift...

The Aloha State

Thu, 1 Feb 2001 03:25:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - Hawaii is known as the Aloha State. What is "aloha" you ask? Just some funny word to repeat once you get off the plane? NO. Aloha means being friendly, and taking care of your neighbor (as well as "hello"). And that is what Hawaii is about. And it...

One of the best Danzig Albums

Thu, 1 Feb 2001 02:45:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - I really got to like and enjoy "Danzig III: How The Gods Kill." Listening to it reminds me of my high school days of rebellion and listening to metal bands of those days like Danzig (i.e. Tool, White Zombie, Slayer)

Danzig is famous for his...

Cruel Indeed

Wed, 31 Jan 2001 18:11:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - I think this is one of the best albums that Cradle of Filth put out. Frankly, their "Cradle To Enslave" CD just totally sucked in comparison to this. It is an excellent masterpiece that I can listen to over and over again. I love the guitar work and...

Alterna-Bubble Gum Pop

Wed, 31 Jan 2001 00:59:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - Evan Dando and the co-writers of "Come On Feel The Lemonheads..." mastered the fine art of crafting catchy melodic pop/rock tunes. Dando has always been able to write catchy tunes, and he's got previous albums like "Lovey" and "It's A Shame About Ray"...

Slam Dunk Da Funk

Tue, 30 Jan 2001 13:35:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - Ok, I don't usually go for poppy boy bands, but I decided to get this album by Five, a group from England, when I heard the catchy single "When The Lights Go Out." It was a big risk. I thought I would probably waste my money, having to sell it at some...

Good Brick Oven Pizza

Tue, 30 Jan 2001 04:35:42 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - I have been to Bertucci's a couple of times. Usually I go there just for take out and I only order their rolls. Their rolls are superb...they come hot out of the oven and go great with butter. The rolls are only $0.25 each, so if you are a starving...

Skankin'

Mon, 29 Jan 2001 19:39:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - The Tantra Monsters have definitely put a name out for themselves in Hawaii and the West Coast. Every rude boy/girl, punk and other freak in Hawaii knows who the Tantra Monsters were. You can always hear "Crack House," or "Wine, Women, and Song,"...

Oakie Is The MixMaster

Mon, 29 Jan 2001 18:55:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - "TrancePort" is a fabulous album. Oakenfold mixes each track so smoothly that there are no glitches between songs. Each track is blended in so well you can't even tell. Paul Oakenfold shows his great DJing skills in "TrancePort." His pick of songs on...

A Movie To Remember

Mon, 29 Jan 2001 18:33:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - I will admit, at first, I thought this movie was going to be one of those testosterone-filled, get up and scream like a beast movies...but I was proven wrong.

This movie is based upon a true story about two high schools in Virginia that...

BOOM BOOM

Sun, 28 Jan 2001 18:16:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - I first purchased my Altec/Lansing speakers for my college dorm room. I have a full stereo rack, but being from out-of-state, means no good sound system --- because I don't want the postal service or the baggage "throwers" from the airline I fly to...

The Pride of Duxbury

Sun, 28 Jan 2001 07:05:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - The Blake Babies' "Sunburn," is their best release ever. Juliana Hatfield's thin, beautiful, mousey voice belting out lyrics about depression, suicide and unrequited love makes one think this is an album of contradiction (just like her earlier solo...

Wall Street Sharks

Fri, 26 Jan 2001 22:58:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - I will admit that I saw this movie just because it starred Giovanni Ribisi. I am a big fan of his...

"Boiler Room," is about Wall Street Shark wanna-be's who run this firm that rips a whole bunch of people off. Ben Affleck, who is rarely...

Angelina Is Awesome

Fri, 26 Jan 2001 22:23:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - "Girl, Interrupted," is a fine movie about Susanna Kaysen. I'll also mention the fact that this movie is based on a true story. Susanna (Winona Ryder) was sent to a mental institution in Cambridge, MA --- this mental institution housed many famous...

Music that reaches into your soul and pulls so hard you don't know what happened

Fri, 26 Jan 2001 20:37:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - "Diary" is truly Jeremey Enigk's personal diary. The album touches on the basic subject matters of emo...dealing with heat-ache, loss, depression, and loneliness. Jeremy's vocals, like in every album SDRE has released, has such beauty in it. It gives...

Turn Me On!

Fri, 26 Jan 2001 20:21:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - When I first got this album I thought, "WOW!" "How It Feels To Be Something On," is such a wonderful album, both in terms of musicianship and lyrical writing. The production is nice too.

Jeremy Engik's great tenor vocals are so unique and...

A swirl of contradicting angry girl next door rock

Fri, 26 Jan 2001 20:06:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - Juliana Hatfield's first solo album was quite the contradiction...

Juliana's thin weak, yet beautiful girlish voice belting out lyrics about dying, loneliness and other confession box topics was quite the surprise. It is a critically...

Juliana is goddess

Fri, 26 Jan 2001 19:49:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - Juliana Hatfield is a great songwriter and musician. "Become What You Are" is probably the best album she has written in my opinion. It combines hard rocking anthems with beautiful ballads to keep your attention. At first when I got this album I...

Samuel Smith's Nutty Ale is Great

Fri, 26 Jan 2001 19:29:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - Samuel Smith's Nutty Brown Ale can be compared to heavier beers such as Murphy's or Newcastle...although, Newcastle may be a bit lighter than Samuel Smith. The ale has a great nutty flavor to it and is quite thick in flavor...

I wouldn't call...

The darker the better

Fri, 26 Jan 2001 19:22:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - Murphy's Irish Stout is what I like in a dark beer. It is a nice alternative to Guiness and Bass...you know, for those times when it's out of tap or when you just can't afford Guiness or Bass.

The taste is great. It has a nice nutty dark...

A nice Dutch lager

Fri, 26 Jan 2001 19:15:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author filth_magnet - Grolsh is another beer that I love to drink. I especially love the crisp, nice clean taste to the beer. The body is quite light though. Actually, too light...but it's a nice lager to drink in the summers. It goes well with most foods too...probably...
