One of the best compact digital cameras available!

Fri, 15 Nov 2002 22:07:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gwvg - When I first saw the Canon S200 sitting in the digital camera section, my first reaction was "Wow! That thing is so sleek!" Only after having this camera for a while was able to realize the xcelent functionality and portability that the Canon S200...

Enjoyable Romp

Thu, 31 Jan 2002 16:17:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gwvg - I enjoyed the original movie, even though I don't tend to be a fan of anything that can be remotely described as "horror". The Indian Jones movies have enough gore to turn my stomach. But The Mummy was so over-the-top in some areas that it was campy...

Max Payne : A Decent B Movie

Thu, 31 Jan 2002 15:41:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gwvg - There's been a LOT of hype about Max Payne, so I eagerly opened it up and gave it a test drive. After all, aside from the small "Blue Shift" add on for Half Life, there haven't been a lot of first person shooters lately.

But Max Payne isn't a...

Fri, 6 Apr 2001 17:04:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gwvg - The TRV11 camcorder was the first camcorder I've bought in years. During the buying process I wondered whether I should get teh megapixel TRV20 or the 666K pixel TRV11. Ultimately, price was the deciding factor. The TRV11 ended up costing $300...

Expensive Downloading

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gwvg - For those of us epinions ontributors that live where RCN only provides one-way cable modem service, don't get it. I live out in the NJ suburbs and i pay 40$ a month for RCN one-way cable service. Basically one-way means that you can download fast but...

Double The Plot Holes!

Sat, 22 Apr 2000 15:46:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author gwvg - This movie could have been great. The main problem began with the lack of truth behind the story's main plot. If you kill someone even after they're supposedly dead, you will still go to jail. Stupid cliches, also ruined the overall experience, such as...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gwvg - This mouse is the most precise and smooth mouse that ive ever had the pleasure to own. Before i bought the Boomslang 2000 i was afraid that it would take me a long time to get used to it and that i would never be able to play half-life again! After all...

Great 199 year and 364 day Story

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 15:06:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gwvg - Why do they call it Bicentennial man if he only lived 199 years and 364 days? Okay this movie was really good. It lacked the usual robin williams letting loose parts. That is not necessarily a bad thing. Yeah Oliver Platt is in it! So is the guy...

Great surround

Fri, 31 Dec 1999 15:24:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gwvg - These speakers act as great surround speakers for my home theater. They're incredibly cheap (50$) and provide great sound. However if your not on a strict budget you can get the 216PS for about 75$. I have these speakers connected using MONSTER XP...
