rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author irish88 - My curiosity was piqued. It was my senior year in high school, and for a few years I had been hearing, here and there, from people who had gone to see Blue Man Group. All I really knew about it was that it involved men who were painted completely...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author irish88 - Ok, now this movie was BAD. I can’t even begin to describe how bad it is. Oh ok, I’ll try, but it’s going to be hard—its sheer stupidity has left me basically speechless.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author irish88 - This is the last thing I needed!! I am addicted to enough t.v. as it is, I didn’t need to find a show to top them all and drag me once again into the pit of t.v. addiction. I’ve just picked up “The West Wing” into my weekly addiction routine. I didn’t...

Wed, 9 Aug 2000 23:39:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author irish88 - The voice coming out of the stereo speakers is thick and soulful, and every word she sings is saturated with emotion. She doesn’t just float through the song, she gets underneath it and feels out every word, every note. This must be an experienced...

Sun, 30 Jul 2000 15:43:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author irish88 - Every time I passed Sleepy Hollow in the video store, I would linger for a moment, start walking past, hesitate, and then decide to keep walking. Why? Here is the sad truth: I am a big, fat scaredy cat. I have the lowest threshold for fear you can...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author irish88 -

This is it, people. The end of the line. We, as a society, are toast.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author irish88 - “I’ll fire ya tomorrow! C’mon!”

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author irish88 - Boston is a great city. I don’t live in it, but close enough that I get to spend a good amount of time there, and I’ve experienced many of the great things it has to offer. In all my 20 years on this planet, though, I never knew that there were islands...
