These things don't seem to have an official name, I've seen them called Flash Drives, Jump drives, USB drives and Thumb Drives. This causes a bit of a problem for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~392456343172 Tue, 17 Jul 2007 16:15:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_392456343172?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_137951481476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author glake - UPDATE: see below. Not that trapping is exactly the right word, but when you trap something you catch it and keep it in a safe place and that's pretty close to what this and many similar devices do. They are called Flash Drives, Jump drives, Mobile... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~137951481476 Sun, 25 Apr 2004 20:26:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_137951481476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_136099892868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author glake - The Next Thing Flash Drives, Jump drives or USB drives, call them what you want, but these tiny things are the next BIG thing in portable data storage. Imaging carrying 8 CD&#146s worth of data in a rugged device not much larger than your car... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~136099892868 Thu, 8 Apr 2004 16:37:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_136099892868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_133093232260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author glake - The opening scene is a close up of Johnny Depp&rsquo;s face, which made many of the women in the audience, including my wife, take an instant liking to the film. This is Mort Rainey (Johnny Depp) and his thoughts show a confused man arguing with... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~133093232260 Sat, 13 Mar 2004 02:05:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_133093232260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_130744028804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author glake - I'm frankly amazed at the number of good ratings given to this pretentious waste of film. Due to his great performance in "Pirates of the Caribbean", we've recently gone on a 'Depp' binge at my house. We've rented almost every movie he's ever been... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~130744028804 Sun, 22 Feb 2004 17:28:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_130744028804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_120568909444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author glake - I&#146ve read many reviews claiming that this game has no goals and nothing to do. Yet the people who write that also seem to like the game. I think they like it because there is so much to do! It&#146s just that the activities are much lower key than... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~120568909444 Wed, 3 Dec 2003 00:31:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_120568909444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_44306239108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author glake - I&#146;ve always liked this movie but before writing this review, I wanted to think about how it might relate to recent events. This story takes place in Vietnam near the end of America&#146;s involvement. <br><br/> <br><br/>The film, made in 1988, leans towards anti-war... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~44306239108 Wed, 24 Oct 2001 17:56:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_44306239108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_42712665732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author glake - After buying a plastic diving helmet and a couple of antenna for the &#145;Alien&#146;, they ran out of money for costumes. Fortunately, director Phil Tucker knew an actor who worked cheap and owned his own Gorilla suit. This left enough money to rent the infamous... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~42712665732 Mon, 8 Oct 2001 11:03:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_42712665732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_40654704260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author glake - What can you say about a movie this hokey? It's almost one of those that are so bad they become cult hits, like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, which is bad on purpose, or Plan 9 From Outer Space, which is the all time hall of fame winner for worst movie... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~40654704260 Fri, 14 Sep 2001 14:44:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_40654704260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_39136104068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author glake - M. Night Shyamalan should stick to writing and let others do the directing. His previous film, "The Sixth Sense", was so well received that he assumed everything about was liked and that he should do even more of the same in this film. Bad assumption... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~39136104068 Fri, 31 Aug 2001 11:32:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_39136104068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_37338844804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author glake - According to this kid's flick, a witch is just a Fairy Godmother gone bad. And just as you can have the infrequent male witch (warlock), you can occasionally have a male Fairy Godmother-person. In this case Martin Short is a Fairy Godmother and,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~37338844804 Mon, 20 Aug 2001 17:48:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_37338844804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_33029197444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author glake - From 'Batman' to 'The X-Men', any halfway successful comic book will eventually be made into a bad movie. Ok, some are worse than others. 'X-Men' was tolerable and the first 'Superman' and the First 'Batman' actually had some good moments, but 'Teenage... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~33029197444 Wed, 25 Jul 2001 11:08:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_33029197444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_31048502916?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author glake - Is there significance in the title being 2 words?

"Lover Come Back" is the middle of 3 movies starring <B>Rock Hudson</B> and <B>Doris... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~27777273476 Tue, 19 Jun 2001 18:03:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_27777273476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_23119761028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author glake - If you're looking for something intellectually stimulating, forget it. If you're looking for insightful or innovative, wrong movie. If you think you'll learn something about women, not here.

She belches, talks with her mouth full, and doesn&#146;t even own a hairbrush. She's a pretty good FBI agent, very smart, an expert at self-defense, and pretty much one of the 'boys'. She's had 2 dates in 10 years and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~21179305604 Sat, 5 May 2001 22:52:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_21179305604?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_19604672132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author glake - More realistic than most 'coming of age' movies, this film shows a boy from a small college town and 3 of his friends taking the first steps into adulthood. Few people experience a magical epiphany and suddenly become adults, as many films would have you... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~19604672132 Thu, 26 Apr 2001 01:07:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_19604672132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_17906437764?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author glake - This story is like Mary Poppins for adults. In Mary Poppins, a guardian angel in the form of a Nanny with strange mystical powers comes to the aid of two children in need. In Bagger Vance a guardian angel in the form of a Caddie with strange mystical... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~17906437764 Sat, 14 Apr 2001 11:51:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_17906437764?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_15239581316?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author glake - An action flick with family values!

At $299.00 list price and often on sale for $249.00, I think it's the best value out there. That doesn't mean it's for everyone.

The movies and players were both too expensive for me.
