rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gookster - This review is based on my visit in 2003. NOTE: It is highly recommended that you go and take some "coffee" before going to the museum. Sadly enough, I enjoyed the local delicacy and still couldn't find myself utterly impressed by this museum...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gookster - Before I purchased my Palm 3xe people asked me, "Why would you need a palm pilot? You're not a businessman!" Now that I have one, I realize that everyone needs one. For those of you who've either been born with bad longterm/shortterm memory or simply...

Nepenthe... tastes like chicken

Thu, 1 Feb 2001 09:37:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gookster - When that crazy craving for chicken rises in my belly I know where to go, not "the crazy chicken," but Zankou's. I consider myself a connoisseur of the feathered kind, not because I was born the year of the rooster, but for my fondness of that...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gookster - My family has lived inside of Los Angeles County my whole life.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gookster - For people who don't read comics and watch cartoons, but watch the Simpsons for its Political Commentary, READ THE SANDMAN GRAPHIC NOVELS.

This is the comic book that changed my view on the medium. A year ago a friend who is an avid comic...

Gaiman Strikes Gold in the Sewers of London

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 03:32:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gookster - For anyone who's ever been bored of their mundane existence. Submerge yourself into the new reality that Gaiman has created.

I believe that it's safe to say that Neil Gaiman has done it again. You'd think that all his brilliance would have...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gookster - First off I'd like to do a quick review of the title that i am supposed to review.

A GREAT Minivan!!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gookster - The previous minivan that I owned before the Odyssey was a 1987 Dodge Caravan (a complete P.O.S.).

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gookster - I remember when i was younger and this game first came out. I literally begged my folks to get me the game for Christmas. Needless to say, Christmas came around and "Santa" gave me the game as a present. About 10 years later they still show...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gookster - I can't stress how much this mouse has changed the life of my hand.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gookster - Ok, i must admit i love this baby. Each time i pull it out of the box to do simple chores of drilling holes and screwing/unscrewing stuff, i get a rush from carrying it inside my hands. The ergonomic fit makes me want to grip it tightly forever. I take...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gookster - I have mixed feelings about this service.

Along the lines of coverage in the Los Angeles area, it is pretty good. I live in Calabasas, which is a suburb surrounded by hills. Most cellular phone companies either do not cover this area or come...

Hong Kong Action Flick Classics!!

Wed, 17 Nov 1999 06:19:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gookster - Few action movies surpass these two films.

These 2 films are probably the best films that John Woo has ever made. Ignore all the bad movies that he's made during his time in the U.S. and just focus on these 2 films. If you only plan on...
