The barrier of language

Mon, 13 Nov 2006 17:04:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - Simply put - it was brilliant. Loved the writing, loved the acting, loved the cinematography. And that's all I will say about that. This will not be a typical review. I will assume you know the actors, the director, and the writer. Furthermore, I will...

Shuffle Killer?

Wed, 30 Mar 2005 06:05:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - Okay, so let's get this out of the way - it's not a Shuffle killer. The media has a way of overdramatizing things. However, I do like it more than the Shuffle, and I think it will compete quite nicely with Apple's flash player. I suppose I'll sprinkle...

Climb Everest with this jacket

Mon, 5 Jan 2004 07:03:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - I spent the whole last winter freezing my tail off because I was wearing 6 year old water-resistant clothing that soaked up water like a sponge and blocked wind about as well as gauze. When you're freezing your tail off on the slopes, snowboarding (or...

First Tivo, now Roomba.The future looks...cute.

Sun, 4 Jan 2004 18:08:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - I like the way the developers of Roomba think. Take some menial chore that everyone hates to do and make technology to do it for us. That's what every technology applications inventor/developer should be aiming for. A merely cool idea that does...

Beauty is only skin deep

Sun, 4 Jan 2004 16:45:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - When I first saw the remote, my eyes opened up wide. There's no doubt about it - this is one slick looking remote control. Here are the features: Suede like material on the back with an ergonomic design and balanced weight that makes the remote...

Pretty much binding perfection

Sat, 3 Jan 2004 05:26:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - This review is for the more recent Salomon SPX6 Alium Bindings (2003/2004). I recently got these bindings because I was not all that happy with the straps on my Drake Limited. The Drakes are a decent binding, but the straps were kinda "stretchy" so I...

An appropriately named board

Sun, 14 Apr 2002 02:15:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - First of all, the estimated price listed is wrong. It is $460. I know because I REALLY wanted this board after I demoed it, but I couldn't afford one earlier in the season.

Secondly, here's a tip about snowboarding equipment. In the past few...

A Chinese Point of View...

Sat, 9 Dec 2000 05:00:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - How It All Began...

I first saw the trailer for CTHD back in June of this year. At the time, it was simply an impressive looking trailer. Then the Cannes Film Festival happened and word leaked out that THIS was the movie that should have...

This will change your life...

Sat, 14 Oct 2000 15:30:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - I guarantee it. This is not a product that you will buy and simply put aside and forget about it. That's how indispensible it is. I explain the reasons why in the "Why get a digital VCR" section of Tivo/Replay.

But this review...

Whoa! This beer is AMAZING!

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 13:40:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - I'm NOT a huge beer fan. I like it once in awhile, but for some reason, your typical beers (Coors, Budweiser) just don't taste very good to me. I do like Sam Adams, Honey Brown, Amstel Light, and Bass just to give you an idea of where my tastes run...

The Honda Accord of Mountain Bikes

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 13:19:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - I got the Trek 7000 back in 1992 when front suspension wasn't yet standard, and the bike had Shimano Exage components (if you've never heard of Exage, you're waaaay too young. :) ). It was a great starter bike, but didn't quite have the components I...

Not so good in NYC

Sun, 3 Sep 2000 13:32:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - I got my Road Runner service a little under one month ago based on the high percentage of recommendations I saw here. Unfortunately, I found that you can't always depend on epinions, especially when it comes to ISP's because it's going to highly depend...

Perfect Storm, script not so perfect

Wed, 5 Jul 2000 14:09:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - Okay, I admit it - I got swept away by the previews. The sight of that boat climbing up that 30 foot wave took my breath away. I thought to myself, WOW, that movie is gonna have awesome special effects. And it did. Too bad this movie had more beauty...

At $369, they don't come any better than this.

Thu, 29 Jun 2000 13:12:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - This is just about the perfect receiver for someone who is looking to get a DVD player and wants to start up a home theater system with a REAL 5.1 setup (not that simulated <faked> 3-D surround sound). This is about as inexpensive as it gets for a...

Now THAT's a blender!!!

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 03:33:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - I've had my Waring blender for 2 months now (most of summer). I've been blending up a storm making smoothies and mixed drinks. This blender rocks!!!

Looks are everything...

First of all, it looks way cool (the picture above is...

Terrific bang for the buck

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 12:44:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - This is a great little basic DVD player with just about everything you need in order to perform its primary function (and the only function that truly matters) enjoy DVD's. I think people kind of lose sight of this fact when they go and buy a $600 DVD...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: Cheap in price, and cheap in quality

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 02:28:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - First of all, a little disclaimer: This review is a little biased because, just before I bought these speakers, I had my home theater system setup as my computer audio output. I have the Energy Take 5 speakers and an Onkyo TX-DS575. I bought these...

3M Precision Mousing Surface: Good mousepad, too bad it doesn't last very long

Sun, 25 Jun 2000 17:50:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - This pad WOULD earn 4-5 stars from me except that in the past year, I've gone through 3 of them. Here's the lowdown:

The microbumps on the surface really do help mice track more precisely. So much so that you will find that you will rarely...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: Great monitor at a GREAT price

Sat, 24 Jun 2000 05:18:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - I got this monitor in July 99 because, as hard as it was for myself to believe, I had actually decided that my 17" Nokia was too confining. After looking over dozens of choices of 19"-21" monitors, I came up with a list of possibles, and...

Sun, 21 May 2000 04:53:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flux73 - This is a great speaker system for those who:

1) are looking for audiophile level quality for their DVD movies

2) don't want to spend audiophile level money

3) who have limited space

4) are buying their first 5.1 surround setup
