Bring your Dirt Devil to "Ghost Dusters...."

Sun, 2 Sep 2001 12:33:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flak-attak - Judging this movie by the cover, I almost went to sleep and missed a profoundly moving story. Fortunately, I stuck around. Of course, I should have realized that a director who could produce such wholesomely romantic stories as "First Knight" and "My...

Thu, 12 Apr 2001 13:32:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flak-attak - My Grandpa Martin had a famous saying: "Dynamite always comes in small packages." As a child, I always wondered about him saying that; like, what was the point?

Then it hit me. The guy was only 5'6" or something like that! He certainly...

G.I. Joe Invades the Iron Curtain with Shakespearean Intensity

Mon, 9 Apr 2001 23:51:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flak-attak - G.I. JOE.

Joseph Fiennes is walking a dangerous line. The last movie I saw him employed in was Shakespeare in Love. In that fantastic story he plays a player. Why, you ask? He plays William Shakespeare, the centerpiece of the...

Fri, 6 Apr 2001 18:11:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flak-attak - Dear Red Truck,

Well Red, we've been through a lot in the past year. We have certainly had our ups and our downs, but I'm so grateful that regardless of scent or circumstance, we stuck together.

Now we have to separate. And it's...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flak-attak - As a youth leader in my church, I sometimes have to do things for the kids that I wouldn't normally choose to do. Like: going sledding at ungodly temperatures, skating in the moonlight at even more ungodly temperatures.........and going to watch "Babe"...

Tribute to my dead Discman.

Mon, 12 Mar 2001 22:39:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flak-attak - It's not very often that I read reviews here on Epinions about items that no longer work. However, I must make an exception for my dear old Sony Discman, which is about to enter retirement (e.g. the trash) at the ripe old age of.....well, you know I...

Heavy Duty CD Player: A Heavy Equipment Operators Dream.

Sat, 10 Mar 2001 02:55:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flak-attak - For many summer seasons, I have become adept at positioning my aging Sony Discman so that it wouldn't skip while I was running a dozer, loader, tractor-trailer, etc. You see, I didn't have any shock protection on my old Sony (more on that in the next...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flak-attak - FOREWORD!!!!

This review was originally placed in the book category under "Fox in Socks," a book written by the famed Dr. Seuss. Due to a few fragments of excellent advice amid a firestorm of "Not Helpfuls," :) I decided to look for a better...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author flak-attak - Anyone who expects to see a romantic drama involving real-life lovers Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, will certainly be disappointed as I was. My wife and I watched this movie on the night of our anniversary, and both of us came away wishing...

Tue, 20 Feb 2001 00:36:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author flak-attak - Even as I begin this review I feel a strange attack coming on.

Yes I do too.

It feels almost like a schizophrenic spasm.

Yes, I think I agree with you. No I don't!

Whatever.

Mighty Mite: The Olympus (Stylin') Stylus

Thu, 15 Feb 2001 18:32:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flak-attak - They had come north, way north, to Alaska in search of high adventure, yet on a lowly and noble mission to raise their children apart from the influences of city life while preaching the gospel as missionary to stalwart neighbors. At both pursuits they...

Tue, 13 Feb 2001 13:58:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flak-attak - Before I "plunge" into my movie review I'll start by saying that as I've read many reviews on movies, I've grown to keenly distaste those that describe the movie in gory detail, thus ruining it (and the epinion) for those who are needing information...

Who Wants the Inside Story?

Fri, 9 Feb 2001 06:25:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flak-attak - Ever been hungry for Kentucky Fried Chicken and gone halfway across town to get it? Ever wanted a Subway Sandwich and searched far and wide for the "closest" SUBWAY– unable to be tempted any other smell or sight?

If so, then you know how I...

"Happily Ever After" -- Can it happen to you?

Wed, 7 Feb 2001 02:59:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flak-attak - Some say that "Happily Ever After" doesn't happen anymore. Some say that it's impossible. Some say that it only happens in the movies.

However, of the last two movies I saw before The Wedding Planner – Castaway and All the Pretty Horses –...

Quest for Greatness in the Great Land!

Fri, 2 Feb 2001 03:48:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flak-attak - A Minolta Maxxum 5000 camera found under a car seat proved to be my undoing. It didn't work too well indoors; it had a 50mm lens and a 70-210mm lens; and it included a broken AF Minolta flash. No work indoor. No problem.

In Alaska, the sun...

Unhappy Ever After

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 05:58:00 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author flak-attak - Notice: If you feel you must see this movie, then watch the previews. They are much more entertaining than the movie itself.

The movie on the other hand is like watching a Superbowl game that ends 0-0. It's like seeing two Sumo wrestlers...

Backyard Beauties

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 07:07:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flak-attak - The list reads like a "Who's Who" of mountains in North America: Drum, Wrangell, Sanford, and Blackburn. A little beyond my backyard is St. Elias, the second tallest peak in North America and Mt. Logan, the tallest peak in Canada.
