Road Trip is Funny Stuff

Sat, 20 May 2000 15:06:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gjantz - Ok, I've been sitting here reading a bunch of reviews that seriously look to review this movie as if it was supposed to be some sort of dramatic masterpiece, and thus, thoroughly disappointing the reviewer. Let's face it, that's not what Road Trip is or...

Sun, 9 Apr 2000 17:46:50 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author gjantz - Ok, first let me say that I did not visit the Alamodome for a Spurs game. I was there in December while my UT Longhorns got embarrassed by the Huskers in the Big Twelve Championship.

There is no need for this stadium in San Antonio. They...

Sun, 9 Apr 2000 03:07:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gjantz - Ok, so I saw the previews for this movie, and I figured I would go to see it. Seemed like a pretty enjoyable sports flick, and with Oliver Stone directing, and a great cast with Diaz, Woods, and Pacino, how could I lose? Well let me tell you how!

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gjantz - Ahh, the American Dream! Come up with a good idea, sell it, make lots of money, get punished??? Why does this country continue to punish its citizens for being successful? Microsoft is just one of many companies in our history that have been declared a...

Sat, 8 Apr 2000 19:30:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gjantz - The Phantom Menace was one of the best movies last year. It brought back the Star Wars films and their classic good versus evil story. As everyone knows, this is the first of the six movies, with two and three coming in the next five years. It tells...

Sat, 8 Apr 2000 19:12:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gjantz - The MCI Center embodies Washington, DC's quest for urban renewal. By moving the sports teams to what used to be a not-so-nice area of downtown, the city hopes to draw people back into town. The arena is beautiful in many ways, and is great for making a...

Comedy Central, One Student's Addiction

Sat, 8 Apr 2000 17:59:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gjantz - I was never really much into Comedy Central until last August. At the school where I did my undergrad work, we didn't get it on our cable network, so I suppose it was just a case of not knowing what I was missing.

As a graduate student, I...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gjantz - It would have been cool to be from the northwest, oh about eight or ten years ago. It also would have been cool to sound like these guys back then. Welcome to the world of Modest Mouse, where chain wallets and flannel shirts still live, and along with...

Sat, 8 Apr 2000 16:01:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gjantz - Well, last year at some point, I had come to the conclusion that I had heard all of the good bands. Everything new wasn't good, and my old favorites were releasing less than great new albums. Then, I came upon the Dismemberment Plan.

Napster: Napster is a great way to get MP3's

Fri, 7 Apr 2000 15:10:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gjantz - Whether the record industry likes it or not, electronic music is taking over. It's cheap, usually free, and while it is almost always illegal, since not too many artists actually put their stuff in MP3 form, no one cares. MP3's are easy to make, and...

I have been trying out these different make money to surf sites over the past few weeks. UtopiAD is probably middle of the pack at best. It is easy enough to use. Just download the surf bar, and let them show you ads. You...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gjantz - Well, I have been using Desktop Dollars for about a week now, and it's not the worst pay for surfing site there is. The company pays you to be online while you have this bar that shows you ads displayed on your screen, basically the same as a lot of...

Tue, 4 Apr 2000 18:55:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gjantz - ESPN's continuous sports coverage is a dream come true. From the sharp wit of the Sportscenter personalities to the now more baseball coverage than ever, this is my favorite channel on television.

Tue, 4 Apr 2000 18:38:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gjantz - "Fair and Balanced, " that is the slogan of the Fox News Channel. It is also a slogan that, unlike many other slogans used in today's society, the channel lives up to. Fox News is a 24-hour news channel much like CNN, MSNBC, and the countless...

Sebadoh: Sebadoh is a great blend of Pop and Ferocious Punk

Tue, 4 Apr 2000 02:29:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gjantz - Sebadoh is first and foremost a blend of three very different, yet the same, musicians. Their different styles come together to form beautiful music, which can at some times seem schizophrenic.

Sebadoh was formed about a decade ago when Lou...

South Park is Hysterical, and Definitely NOT for Kids

Mon, 3 Apr 2000 03:45:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gjantz - Ok, so I am not a huge fan of the South Park TV series. I think it got too big with the kids and lost its edge for a while. I was hesitant to see the movie, because I thought it would be dumb, so i skipped it in the theaters. Now I wish I had...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gjantz - Ok, so I have lived in Texas for about 8 months, and while I love watching the UT team play, and I have even seen a game in the Alamodome, I miss REAL football. I am defining real football as that old smash mouth style that is played in the cold and in...
