Brilliant Debut

Tue, 26 Jul 2005 19:11:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - This is the brilliant debut of the brilliant artist Liz Phair. This is the more stripped down version of the artist; this made her what she is today. Some angry stuff, some stunning stuff. All genius...

The Best Deal Going

Fri, 31 Aug 2001 19:58:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - We bought a 1996 Acura Integra in fall of that year. When it was time for a new car in the spring of 2001, we shopped around for lots of cars in the $20,000 range. What we eventually did was buy a second new Integra, this time a 2000. We got a great deal...

Hotwire: What a steal

Mon, 20 Aug 2001 13:49:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - I recently started using hotwire.com for my travel planning needs. My wife and I got excellent tickets for round trip, non-stop flights between San Francisco and Boston. The round trip fare was $191 per person. A great deal. We bought the tickets about...

Cool, Tasty

Wed, 28 Feb 2001 15:15:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - I went to dinner at Lulu after my wife loved their sister restaurant, Zibibo in Palo Alto.

The place looks very cool when you walk in the door. The high rounded ceilings, the recessed main dining area, the clever salt and pepper shakers. All very...

Leaves you Empty

Fri, 23 Feb 2001 23:26:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - I had high expectations for this one. I was hoping for some cool effects, some suspense, some thrills.

What I got was a little less.

This started off well, with the evil genius mad scientist. But as with all science-fiction movies, the...

Spectacular

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 17:48:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - This is one terrific movie. Although a little slow at times, it has some of the best looks at a person that is loathsome and complex, but somehow, just barely, likeable. How the moviemakers pull this off is stunning.

Most of the movie is stunning...

Excellent Lunch

Fri, 1 Dec 2000 20:43:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - I went to lunch at Jack's on Sacramento and had an excellent meal. The velvet curtain at the entrance signals a step into a different place. I guess that the history of the restaurant is different from the current place. It used to be in a house of ill...

Good... Could Have Been Great

Tue, 28 Nov 2000 17:19:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - The one thing that keeps this movie from being great is its length. This is an epic story that didn't have to be epic in length. The story gets bogged down with its length; the story line itself is quite simple and straight-forward.

The movie is...

Big Let Down

Mon, 20 Nov 2000 17:36:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - I was looking forward to this movie. I had read and heard some good reviews about this one. And I generally like movies where aliens and explosions are involved. I thought there would be some great images and memorable action. Unfortunately, I was let...

Good End, Lame Everything Else

Mon, 13 Nov 2000 18:45:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - The ending of this movie was pretty good, all things considered. The rest of this movie was bad, all things considered.

The acting throughout was questionable at best, horrible at worst. Sinise was his usual pseudo-mysterious character. The rest...

Great Standby

Tue, 24 Oct 2000 18:45:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - When you don't know where to go, but you feel like some comfort food, this is the restaurant for you.

It serves great diner standards, burgers, sandwiches, etc. And of course, you can't go wrong with a breakfast on a lazy Saturday afternoon. If you...

You Need This Card

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 21:22:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - My wife and I have pretty serious commutes (her more than me) and we are regular Shell gas buyers. This card is a lifesaver. I just re-signed up for this card, and the deal was that there is no yearly fee if you use the card at Shell stations more than...

Undercut

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 14:28:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - This movie is ultimately boring and predictable. Although the ending does provide something to think about and does come up with a minor flourish, you know right from the beginning that this is going to be a movie about a character changing for the worst...

I Don't Understand the Academy

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 14:23:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - I don't understand how people like movies like this. I thought this was a slightly above average movie. But the bottom line is that this movie is a spy movie and a period piece without much writing or acting going on.

Crowe's acting skills are...

All the Wrong Moves

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 20:13:00 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - I drove this pathetic little car for a weekend as a rental in Detroit. As I pointed out in the review of Detroit, my arms were sore at the end of the weekend.

I was in town for a wedding and got the cheapo Hertz special at Detroit Airport. I got...

Titans: Titanic Debacle

Wed, 18 Oct 2000 20:34:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - First, let me say that I can watch stupid television. I enjoy Dawson's Creek every week for some reason beyond my comprehension. But Titans sets new highs for lows.

This is just plain bad acting. Let me say beyond bad acting. I am surprised they...

Ed Smart Addition

Wed, 18 Oct 2000 20:28:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - Of the new shows for this fall season, I think that Ed is my second favorite after the strong early showing of Gilmore Girls. Ed provides laughs, a little love, and enough entertainment to last an hour. It can be serious and a little sad at times but...

Good Enough

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 22:29:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - I used this as my primary cordless phone for about a year and a half until my wife decided that she needed a new gigaghertz. I was perfectly happy with this one, even though it didn't work great across the confines of our apartment complex. But come on...

Great Gillmore Girls

Tue, 10 Oct 2000 17:18:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - This new WB show may be better than Felicity, one of my favorite shows. Gillmore Girls is smart and funny. The characters are great and real, even as they seem to be almost, but not quite, too much of a cliche. They drink too much coffee, always eat out,...

California Cafe Bar & Grill - Corte Madera: Pretty Good Food, Sketchy Service

Mon, 18 Sep 2000 18:48:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - I have been to the Corte Madera restaurant twice and the one in Palo Alto once. The style is very California modern fusion cuisine. It's often good and tasty, although a little more complicated than it need be, as is often the problem at modern...

This One Is Fun but Ultimately Doesn't Work

Tue, 12 Sep 2000 19:30:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - I liked this movie for much of the beginning part. It was exciting and you could really identify with the main character and his plight. You saw him doing stupid things, and you knew that it was only going to lead to trouble, but he did them anyway. I...

Honolulu Advertiser: This Is Ugly

Thu, 7 Sep 2000 17:47:01 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - I love reading the morning newspaper, no matter where I am. I grew up on the San Francisco Chronicle, a great paper in my estimation.

Every summer I go to Hawaii and have to read the Advertiser. This is a really bad newspaper. I am in Kauai and so...

San Jose Mercury News: Business Section Not the Only Section

Thu, 7 Sep 2000 17:37:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - Everyone loves the Merc's business section. I agree that it's quite good, and very complete and insightful when it comes to technology news. And some of the other articles that include tech news are excellent as well.

But I have a moderate to large...

I Think I Just Got Dumber

Thu, 7 Sep 2000 13:53:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - This movie will not make you a better person. In fact, you may feel monumentally stupid and ashamed after watching it. You may feel dirty and violated, and question your brain power. But I think you'll like it.

It is monumentally stupid and...

Ass Kicking President

Thu, 7 Sep 2000 13:48:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - It's great when Ford gets away from his distractions trying to do sensitive movies to do the good, old-fashioned running and falling down movies. That's what Ford does best: run and fall down. He did it perfectly in the Indiana Jones trilogy and in the...
