Such a great concept for a movie....and such a horrible movie

Fri, 20 Jul 2001 17:33:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author imbrium - I'll have to preface this by saying that, when I first heard about Casualties of War, I really wanted to see the movie because it sounded like such a deep, wrenching portrayal of the brutality of war. As a woman, the subject matter was of particular...

San Diego Union-Tribune: The San Diego Union-Tribune Sales Department wants YOU (and they'll keep calling to prove it)

Sat, 10 Mar 2001 04:51:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author imbrium - The San Diego Union Tribune is a useful news source for people who live in San Diego county. I've subscribed to it off and on for about 3 years. It has several strengths and one major weakness which I've outlined below.

eBay: An Eclectic Paradise

Wed, 7 Mar 2001 03:59:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author imbrium - Let me preface this by saying I have pretty eclectic tastes. Not everyone feels the need to buy lapis lazuli beads, ancient Roman coins or pretty Russian lacquer boxes, but, if you, like me, have such urges, Ebay is definitely the place for you.

Ok, They're a Monopoly, but They're a Nice Monopoly.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author imbrium - San Diego is a town divided - divided by two local cable monopolies: Southwestern Cable and Cox Cable. They split San Diego roughly down the middle. You don't have a choice of local cable providers, unless you feel like moving. In my area, there were...

I never thought I'd be praising cardboard...

Sat, 30 Sep 2000 04:20:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author imbrium - I never thought I'd be praising cardboard...but I am!

I have two cats, a male and a female. Neither one is very bad about scratching, but there have been some problems; cardboard scratchers have solved most of them. They come with catnip,...

Natural settings and rare species make for an exciting visit

Fri, 29 Sep 2000 20:19:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author imbrium - I have visited the San Diego Wild Animal Park (SDWAP) several times, but I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to volunteer there as well. Over the course of two years, I was a volunteer behavioral observer in two research projects (one project...

Fast, oh so fast, but with a price

Thu, 28 Sep 2000 16:19:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author imbrium - I have had Pacific Bell ADSL for 6 months now and am quite happy with it. The connect time is fast (within one second) and the downstream (information coming from the internet to your computer) speeds are pretty amazing. Pacific Bell guarantees a...

AOL disks make poor frisbees and even worse coasters

Thu, 28 Sep 2000 14:20:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author imbrium - When I think of AOL, I can't help but imagine a huge, country-sized landfill containing nothing but AOL disks. I feel actual guilt for the ecological damage I am committing as I, at least once or twice a month, throw an AOL disk into the trash. I've...

"UCSC - The Best 5 or 6 Years of My Life"

Thu, 28 Sep 2000 04:33:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author imbrium - The University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) is, by far, the most beautiful college campus I have ever seen. It is nestled in the edge of the redwood forest and much of the 2000 acre campus is covered by redwood trees. The library on a misty day is...

SDSU - good education, nice weather

Thu, 28 Sep 2000 04:01:13 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author imbrium - San Diego State University (SDSU) is a huge campus with over 30,000 students. Bureaucracy can be a problem; if you go to SDSU, be prepared to be treated as a number for much of the time. Despite the bureaucracy, I have had wonderful experiences with...

Simpsons, The: Great quotes and obscure references...I love it

Thu, 28 Sep 2000 02:52:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author imbrium - For years, the Simpsons has been the only show I went out of my way to watch....It appeals to me on so many levels I have trouble disecting my motivations for watching the Simpsons. After 10 seasons, I still find it the most creative show on television...

Convenience for busy people

Thu, 28 Sep 2000 01:45:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author imbrium - Why I bought it: I found the Litter Maid Litter Box on sale for $99 and decided to go ahead and buy it (I had previously refused to pay $190 for it). I bought it mostly because of my love of gadgets and partially for the convenience it offered...

A charming film

Thu, 28 Sep 2000 00:40:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author imbrium - Window to Paris is the movie I show to friends and family who claim that all Russian movies are dark and depressing. It is a sweet, light-hearted film with some subtle political and social commentary. The main character, Nikolai, is a music teacher at...
