rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - The Background

For Thanksgiving 2001, my wife and I wanted to visit our family 800 miles away. With air travel undesirable for us at this time, renting a car seemed like the best option to avoid all the mileage on our own vehicle...

Branson: Not just for old folks

Mon, 5 Nov 2001 13:51:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - Ah, Branson, Missouri. How long has it been described as the ultimate getaway place for senior citizens. While that may be true, you don't have to have gray hair (or no hair) to have a great time within the borders of this small town nestled in the...

'Forrester' is a must Find!

Sat, 30 Dec 2000 10:47:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - Wow! I left the theater saying this is one of the best films I have seen in the past three or four years. Connery put on one of his best performances ever, and the rest of the cast did a fantastic job as well. The story is very well written; the plot...

Only slightly out of Focus

Thu, 28 Dec 2000 17:14:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - As a 1999 Ford Taurus owner, I recently had to rent a 2000 Ford Focus over the Christmas holidays. The challenge for me is trying to throw off my anti-compact bias when composing this epinion...

Thu, 28 Dec 2000 01:54:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - Cast Away, starring Tom Hanks and Helen Hunt, has been one of the most anticipated films of 2000. It's Christmas weekend release carried it to the #1 ranking at box offices across the United States. Unfortunately, the hype did not match the substance...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - I remember well the day I brought this game hope and hopped it in the PlayStation. I was excited. After playing the game for just a few minutes, I had mixed feelings about it. Here's why.

Even Juno is slowly sliding down the drain

Wed, 20 Dec 2000 03:07:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - For months, I thought Juno had the best free internet service on the internet. I guess the bigger they are, the harder they fall. And Juno is just barely hanging on to any claims of respectability now. This industry is suffering through a hard time,...

The Liquid Sledgehammer

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 16:31:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - I purchased Vicks' NyQuil one day on the recommendation of a friend. I was horribly sick- my nose wouldn't stop running, I was running a small fever, and was having chills. I was also having a lot of trouble sleeping. Most over the counter products...

Pure genius from the legendary Schulz

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 13:30:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - What a magnificent commentary on humanity Charles Schulz produced in the classic, Charlie Brown Christmas. The "Peanuts" have for decades characterized reality in ways that teach us more about ourselves and make us laugh at the same time. The...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - Chances are that you are quite familiar with the 'for Dummies' book series put out by IDG Books. If you've been to a bookstore in the past few years, you've seen them all over the place. The Dummies book series is based on a simple, yet important...

Railroad Tycoon 2 for Windows: Ready for your stock to split again? Uh, yeah!

Mon, 18 Dec 2000 16:28:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - I remember the first time I was introduced to Railroad Tycoon II by a college roommate. My thoughts were, "Oh, a railroad game, that sounds like a lot of fun." (tongue in cheek, of course) How much fun could a railroad game be, anyway? It...

Baseball at its absolute Best

Mon, 18 Dec 2000 03:00:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - The first time I went to the Ballpark in Arlington in 1998, I was awestruck. The Rangers hosted the Arizona Diamondbacks on a calm, hot July evening.

The Ballpark is built in a high traffic area of the Metroplex, right off I-30 and near...

You get what you pay for

Sun, 17 Dec 2000 20:13:15 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - After a few experiences with Airtran, I can honestly say you get what you pay for with them. Almost every time, there was a kink thrown in the plans either due to their fault or perhaps the airport. I know I have had better experiences with American...

Limited excitement

Sun, 17 Dec 2000 02:25:09 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - Well, I admit I knew little about this movie going in- my wife had seen previews and really wanted to see it. I've learned over the past few years the worth of bringing limited expectations into the movie theater, especially about movies you're not...

NetZero: NetZero proves that free ISP's are dying

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 14:02:33 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - Anyone will admit the offer of free internet service is pretty tempting. In fact, I've been using various free ISP's for about a year and a half now. Of course, I've had to limit my number of choices in recent months because free ISP companies have...

This ain't two hand touch, son

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 04:26:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - WOW. This is why football video games were created in the first place. Madden 2001 for the PS2 is one of the best football video games ever, period. Of course, the PS2 system itself is largely responsible for the quality of this game; but Madden 2001...

We love to see your arteries clog

Nothing at McDonald's really tastes great. Some things taste good, others...

Fore! This one's in the deep rough

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 00:40:28 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - Yesterday, I went to see this movie with hopes for a good movie. Emerging from the box office, I realized this film was a mixed bag, perhaps more negative features than positive.

Cat food with an attitude

Wed, 8 Nov 2000 14:54:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - "Pepper" has spoken! There is no cat food on the market better than Friskies.

We've had Pepper for about a year now. She's about 2 years old. Because we love her so much (she's a great cat!), we have tried to spoil her in about...

You get what you pay for

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - As a first time cat owner earlier this year, I faced a fair amount of expense in furnishing my apartment for my new feline friend. The adoption fee, pet deposit at my apartment complex, scratching post, the litter, the food, a couple toys, a litter...

Sat, 15 Jul 2000 10:41:48 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - When ClickDough debuted at the beginning of 2000, I was very excited. It pays 8 levels deep in referrals (more than almost anyone else), had a product that required no download to use, and offered unlimited hours.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hamricba - Krispy Kreme has the best doughnuts in the world, hands down. If you get your hands on a hot, fresh glazed doughnut, it will literally melt in your mouth. Most Krispy Kreme restaurants feature a red neon sign saying, "Hot Doughnuts Now," so...
