rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author halpern - I was one of those kids who adored Fantasia as a young child. I remember my brother and I running down to the basement in our pajamas, loading The Sorcerer's Apprentice into our reel-to-reel, and cooking our own popcorn on the stove upstairs (yeah, it...

Only in New York (New Jersey).

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author halpern - I haven't been to many other NFL venues (and none of them to actually watch a football game), but I've heard many fans profess Giants Stadium to be one of the worst stadiums in the league.

Based on my experience, I've got no reason to...

A Brief Review of a Brief History

Tue, 8 Feb 2000 02:49:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author halpern - Like many former high school science students, my most poignant scientific educational experience runs back to the late Carl Sagan saying "billions and billions" and "the stuff of life." Many students, on the other hand, are scared...

Always the Byrne

Sat, 29 Jan 2000 17:33:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author halpern - I've been a hockey fan -- a real hockey fan -- for the last decade or so. And during that time, the games I've seen have primarily been at the Continental Airlines Arena (although from here forth, I will refer to it as the Brendan Byrne Arena, its given...

The World's Most Famous Arena

Sat, 29 Jan 2000 03:17:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author halpern - I suppose I can be considered an expert on Madison Square Garden. I've been to at least one Knicks game every year for the past 23 seasons. Note that I'm 23 years old, and you get the idea. Me and MSG have grown up together.

The first...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author halpern - Hello. My name is Jake, and this is my review.

Man on the Moon, the biography of comedian Andy Kaufman, shows much promise, but when it comes down to it, never really delivers. Despite sporting a ridiculously incredible cast (with most members...

Sewing the Seeds of a Good Read

Fri, 24 Dec 1999 03:13:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author halpern - What I didn't realize until finishing this title was that it was nonfiction, very closely based upon actual happenings in the city of Savannah over an eight-year period. With that in mind, the book takes on a whole new meaning, as some of the events...

Excite At Home: Not necessarily Excite-ing

Wed, 24 Nov 1999 03:04:04 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author halpern - Trying to decide what to stress when you write about Excite @home service is like kissing your sister. Sure, there's the excitement of that rush of adrenaline, but at the same time, you probably feel unfulfilled and unnecessarily spent. (Reviewer's note:...

Tue, 23 Nov 1999 02:54:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author halpern - Before I even began writing this review, I was unsure of whether or not to characterize this book as fiction or nonfiction. After all, far too many people have illustrated the similarities between the fictional democratic primary campaign of southern...

More sleepy and hollow than I expected

Mon, 22 Nov 1999 02:06:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author halpern - I was really excited to see Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow. Although I've not always been a fan of Burton's work, I really think he works best with similar subject matter -- the original Batman and the Nightmare Before Christmas come to mind. But I think...
