Welcome to the suck. A Marine Brat/Girlfriend reviews Jarhead

Sun, 6 Nov 2005 19:49:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - A line had formed outside our small Cinema 6 two hours before the first showing. All jarheads. Though it's not something I've discussed in depth here at Epinions, there is little else I hold more pride in than being a Marine brat and now...

Being a Hooters Girl.

Mon, 19 Sep 2005 15:16:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - Dear Hooters Customer, There are some little girls who visit Hooters and wish to be one of those girls. The girls who get to hoola hoop, sing silly songs, and look pretty doing it. I was not one of those little girls. I was shy and...

Josh Gracin proves a country boy can survive on debut album

Sun, 20 Jun 2004 11:37:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - Being that I was left completely dissatisfied and unfulfilled by my last review of this album, I decided to rewrite it. Skin me alive if you must, but I felt I could do far better than that lackluster review. Not to mention, I'm irked. Why? Well,...

The Echo is my new Toy.

Wed, 16 Jun 2004 18:30:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - A few years ago I sat browsing through a Teen magazine I had gotten in the mail and stopped on an ad for quite possibly the ugliest car I had ever laid eyes on, a Toyota Echo. The two door Roxy edition. They were giving one away in some kind of...

Getting in the zone with a mature, sexual, grown-up Britney Spears

Fri, 7 Nov 2003 13:50:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - Contrary to 95% of those who will review this album on Epinions, I am a Britney Spears fan. Yeah, her relationship was hashed to death and torn to pieces by her ex-boyfriend in the media. Yeah, a rap-rocker whose career is dying played a roun...

Measure of a Man: if you can survive his powerful pipes, Clay will touch you

Sun, 12 Oct 2003 14:04:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - Let me just get something straight. I'm not a Claymate, a Clayniac, a Claynadian, or whatever else the Aiken-obsessors call themselves. I didn't even particularly care for Clay Aiken until the tail end of American Idol came around. If anything,...

There's more to life than sex-pop. Instead, let Stacie get stuck on you

Sat, 11 Oct 2003 16:12:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - A new pop chick is on the scene, but you won't see too much T&A here. Stacie Orrico, Christian pop star turned top 40's good girl. And it works. The safety-net-first-single, Stuck, is a bouncy, disgustingly catchy pop track featuring St...

I like the way you do that right thurr, but that's it. Sorry Chingy...

Sun, 21 Sep 2003 15:25:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - Apparently, Chingy and his album Jackpot don't have too many fans here at Epinions. While I'm a fan of a lot of [mainstream] hip hop, I rarely review albums in the genre. Pop is what I know, and what I stick to. But every once in a...

The UK's very own Justin Timberlake and his abstract solo debut

Sat, 20 Sep 2003 23:34:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - With an interesting mixture of pop, R&B, and techno/dance, Abs Breen puts forth his solo debut, Abstract Theory. His days as 5ive boy bander brought him the heart throb status. Though the group now ceases to exist, his blatan...

I breathe you like I'm taking my last breath; you're everything I know...

Tue, 16 Sep 2003 19:41:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - I've been a mild fan of Jessica Simpson for some time, but for whatever reason never loved her as much as Spears or Aguilera. Jessica's sultry-but-sweet ways have always been slightly different and even more virginal than Britney's and have come n...

What the...?! Metamorphosis: a guilty pleasure I didn't see coming

Sun, 14 Sep 2003 13:55:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - I hate the Disney Channel and pretty much everything associated with it. Aside from reruns of Boy Meets World and Sister, Sister, I have little to no interest in the channel whatsoever. In fact, I hate(d) Hilary Duff. He...

And I'll swear it all over again and again and again...teen pop will reign again

Sat, 13 Sep 2003 15:28:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - I think I'm on a teen pop kick. Continuing through my stack of singles, my second choice to review was Westlife's Swear it Again. Debuting in America in 1999 with this slow, pretty ballad, Westlife was yet another European boy g...

Check it! Ad-libs from hell on 5ive's When the Lights Go Out

Fri, 12 Sep 2003 23:05:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - Don't ask me why I'm reviewing this. I was rummaging through my CD collection when I came across a stack of singles. Mind you, it's been quite a long time since I bought my last single, what with modern marvels like the CD burner (or maybe it was becaus...

Natural is proof that you can't hide artificiality behind a name

Thu, 19 Dec 2002 22:24:36 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - "Natural demonstrates the whole package – superior instrumental skills, silky-smooth vocals, and hard-hitting dance routines. Because they play all of their own instruments, Natural are more Beatles than Backstreet, but they’re...

Mariah Carey wears a platinum Charmbracelet

Sun, 15 Dec 2002 17:18:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - I couldn't imagine a world without Mariah Carey. As far back as I can remember, she's always been around. And just like every other girl my age that I know, Mariah had always been that type of princess-like woman that we looked up to with...

You better keep in step with the Drumline

Fri, 13 Dec 2002 00:04:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - Being a fan of kristinafh's dream husband JC Chasez, I'd heard of the film Drumline quite awhile ago. I was desperate to hear this solo song by JC, because he's been a longtime favorite of mine.

Finally, JC did...

Mon, 9 Dec 2002 01:44:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - November 26, 2002

Just like any other day, I logged onto the internet and went straight for my favorite Backstreet Boys fansite, dlsonline.net. I went straight for the news section, reading over the latest headlines, weeding out all...

Would it be impolite if I laughed?

Fri, 29 Nov 2002 20:32:10 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - In 1998, 98° released 98° And Rising, the sophomore effort that introduced them to the world of late 90s American pop. I was around 11 or 12 at the time, and had since established my obsession with another group (do I really have to...

Fri, 29 Nov 2002 00:02:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author itztru - In 2001, I bought tickets to see O-Town in concert to find out that Kaci was their opening act. I hopped online and did a quick search on Kazaa for music by this girl. If she sucked, there was no point in worrying about being to...
