The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is one such example, as Wal-Mart doesn't have a large collection of French films. I am so glad... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~438325120644 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:48:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_438325120644?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_438191951492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hpfan007 - I'll start this review by stating that wings aren't usually in my diet. This past weekend I was asked to go with a dear friend and her daughter to the local Buffalo Wild Wings. I expected something along the lines of a seedy bar but was pleasantly... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~438191951492 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 18:00:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_438191951492?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_428944625284?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hpfan007 - Over the weekend, I had the house to myself. When that happens I only need two things to survive on. I need coffee because without it I am a cranky, zombie-like creature who walks around in a fog all day. The other thing I require is easy meal options... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~428944625284 Mon, 5 May 2008 20:34:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_428944625284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_428435607172?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hpfan007 - Being something of an insomniac, I often flip through the channels in the wee hours of the morning looking for entertainment. What I usually find are infomercials selling the latest George Foreman Grill/Oven/Ice Cream Maker for just three easy payments... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~428435607172 Thu, 1 May 2008 16:06:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_428435607172?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_427775266436?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hpfan007 - I had wanted to see Atonement for quite a while. Ian McEwan is a fantastic author and I knew any adaptation of his work would more than likely be fantastic, as well. Plus, I am a huge admirer of James McAvoy's work. He'll be a bright star in the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~427775266436 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 17:25:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_427775266436?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426732850820?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hpfan007 - My exposure to the classic Martini began when I was a kid. From the time I was about eight, I began to watch and love the James Bond movies. And anyone with even a passing knowledge of Bond knows that his preferred cocktail is a vodka Martini (Shaken,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426732850820 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:41:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426732850820?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426599222916?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hpfan007 - The art of bartending fascinates me. That's why I like to keep my home bar stocked with staples like vodka, gin, bourbon, and vermouth. I can hold my own with basics like a Gin and Tonic or a Bloody Mary. But I usually leave the fancier drinks to the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426599222916 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 23:13:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426599222916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426357395076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hpfan007 - I had wanted to see the film Georgia Rule because of Jane Fonda. Say what you will about her politics or activism, but she has two Oscars to prove her acting chops. Loving her work as I do, I was so disappointed that she chose to come out of a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426357395076 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 02:04:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426357395076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426201943684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hpfan007 - When I was a kid, we had some hard times financially. To my parent's credit, they had to learn to save and pinch pennies and I never remember going hungry. One of the ways they saved money was to get cheap or generic foods. The Banquet Chicken Pot... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426201943684 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 23:23:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426201943684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426007236228?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hpfan007 - I figured after I blasted the remake yesterday, it was only right to review the original version of The Hitcher. Unlike the remake, this film provides unrelenting psychological terror. From beginning to end, you are on the edge of your chair... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426007236228 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:52:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426007236228?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_425893006980?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hpfan007 - I really wanted to like this movie, but I just couldn't bring myself to do so. It was on one of the HBO channels last night so I decided to watch because I had been so scared by the original 1986 film of the same name. This remake of The Hitcher... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~425893006980 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 15:30:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_425893006980?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_425574043268?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hpfan007 - Today was a nice day for a cigar on the porch. We'd had almost a week of cold and rainy days that were dreary to say the least. Well, today was mostly overcast but it was nearly 70 degrees and not raining. So I decided to pull a Cohiba out of the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~425574043268 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 03:35:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_425574043268?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_425309277828?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hpfan007 - I'm writing this review in honor of my friend Kellie's 21st birthday. She and my sister are endlessly amused by Nothing But Trouble. They are forever quoting it and laughing uproariously at several of the film's scenes and lines. I don't share... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~425309277828 Tue, 8 Apr 2008 02:56:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_425309277828?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_425113587332?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hpfan007 - Let it never be said that I don't love peanut butter. I'm not the only one. Those who love peanut butter join ranks with famous people like Julia Roberts, Bill Clinton, and even Jack Nicholson when he's not too busy looking demonic. Peanut butter is just... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~425113587332 Sun, 6 Apr 2008 14:59:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_425113587332?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_424922156676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hpfan007 - Hi, and welcome to Geek's Anonymous. If there were such a group, I'd be going because of James Bond and the twenty-one movies and thirteen original books he's featured in. I have seen every film more times than I can count. It's not uncommon for me to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~424922156676 Sat, 5 Apr 2008 00:44:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_424922156676?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_424098565764?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hpfan007 - Note: This review pertains to the Howard Johnson Express in Daleville, Virginia near the city of Roanoke.

I figured it would be nothing but a blood-filled teen slaughter fest. The only real reason I wanted to see it was because of David Morse whom I think is one of the most talented actors in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~423898877572 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 15:14:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_423898877572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_423354470020?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hpfan007 - One of Williamsburg, Virginia's most popular upscale restaurants is The Trellis.

Hot natures run in my family, it's quite the curse. This past Christmas I asked for a ceiling fan to help ease my suffering.

My mother worked at the local store and asked me to apply so the store could meet its application goal. I did this every so often to help her and her... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~421462576772 Sun, 9 Mar 2008 17:13:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_421462576772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416277106308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hpfan007 - I'll start this review by telling you that I am a big guy. I need all the help I can get to lose those extra pounds. I've tried everything from teas to fad diets to help me. Not many of them work. But Slim Fast is different.

He told me that Nutella was a part of most breakfast meetings in Germany. Not having a clue what Nutella was, I set out to find it. Luckily, I found some at the local Wal-Mart.

It has a gorgeous brown color and is an extremely drinkable brew. Newcastle is not a drink you can afford every day. But when you can, it's worth the extra cost.
