The best of what's next? Not quite, but who says today can't be fun?

Wed, 9 May 2001 10:44:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - Innoventions is actually split into two separate buildings on opposite sides of the big fountain near the entrance of Epcot. Let's be realistic here, outside is hot, inside is cool and air-conditioned; you do the math. You'll probably end up in an...

An all-around fun attraction

Thu, 26 Apr 2001 22:35:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - This is another attraction that I had low expectations for. I went into this ride thinking that it would be like every other haunted-house ride that I have ever been on, but was pleasantly surprised.

At the begining of the ride, you are taken...

One of the best treats of Epcot

Wed, 25 Apr 2001 23:07:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - I just got back from a 5-day trip to the Orlando area and visited many of the attractions down there, but this is one of the few that sticks out in my mind.

At first, I thought this attraction would be another cookie-cutter 3d presentation...

Your best bet for a quick bite to eat...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - I recently got a job at my local Wendy's, so this review will have a certain "behind-the-scenes" spin to it, so please bear with me.

When it comes to fast food, there really are only three major options: McDonalds, Burger King, and Wendy's...

I still listen to this music after two years...

Thu, 8 Mar 2001 21:12:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - I bought this album over two years ago when it debuted, and have been listening ever since - well sort of.

A few months ago, I lost my CD wallet containing my favorite 24CDs, just my luck. After that, I bought a personal MP3 player and now I...

A great read...

Mon, 5 Mar 2001 02:18:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - And now, the review you've all been waiting for, the 229th epinion on Hannibal! LOL

I know there are already tons of reviews for this book, but as always, I felt that I needed to put my two cents in.

Many people have trashed this...

A veritable trip to the dentist...

Mon, 5 Mar 2001 01:52:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - I find it kind of odd to be writing and epinion about a toothbrush, but I was just brushing my teeth and thought "why not?" so here we go...

We got this Oral-B a few years ago for a family x-mas gift. We had an electric toothbrush some time...

I have never laughed so hard...

Wed, 7 Feb 2001 15:49:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - This is one of the few shows truly catered to my sense of humor. Believe me, I can't find many. Sure, The Simpsons is a funny show, but it a bit too slapstick for me. Futurama was a step in the right direction, but it was a little boring at times...

No sir, I don't like it...

Wed, 7 Feb 2001 00:18:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - "Oh, you don't like Kid-A? Well then I guess you just can't appreciate good music when you hear it."

This seems to be the standard response delivered when I reveal that I don't like Kid-A. Maybe the fact that I CAN understand good music is...

Compaq Presario 5100: This thing keeps on truckin'...

Sat, 3 Feb 2001 15:24:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - We bought the Compaq Presario 5140 a few years back from Best Buy, and I'll never buy a computer I can't completely customize myself again. The price back then was right: $2200 for a then fast 400mhz machine with a then whopping 96mb or SDRAM. I jumped...

Do you really want to go through all of this?

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 22:04:50 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - Update - July 4th 2001

Well, my attempts to get my money back from etronics.com were futile, so after another series of e-mails to a service rep at Sensory Science I've sent the player out to Arizona for the second time in the past six months...

100% pure-bred action movie...

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 22:05:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - I saw this movie for the first time last night on Encore. There was really nothing else to watch, and I had never seen this movie. I remember it being in theaters a few years back, but wrote it off on being a cheesy, predictable, over-the-top action...

Not all it's cracked up to be . . .

Sat, 6 Jan 2001 22:44:15 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - Today my 4th issue of Motor Trend arrived. However, instead of getting home and reading into it like I have the past 3 times, I set it quietly on the dining room table. I scanned through this month's articles with little fanfare, seeing nothing much...

A whole lot of fun is packed into this small camera!

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 00:38:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - I was first exposed to this great camera a few months ago when my aunt was visiting from Florida. She had just bought this camera and was like a little kid showing us a new toy. After a few minutes, I realized why. I had never planned on owning a...

4X4 Evolution: This game isn't powering all four wheels...

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 00:10:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - While the racing market has recently been over-crowded with rally simulations and F1-style simulations, we haven't seen an off-road racing game for ages. The Test Drive: Off Road series comes to mind, but has never really brought gamers what they wanted...

1997 Pontiac Grand Am SE

Sat, 2 Dec 2000 12:14:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - I just got this car a few days ago, so this will be sort of a "first impression" kind of a review. As time goes on, I'll add more information to this review.

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this car is "Wow, that looks...

A chilling psychological thrill ride . . .

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 18:56:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - Although rated rather poorly by other individuals on this site, Apt Pupil is not a bad film at all. Much to the contrary, in fact.

One of the major points that others used to criticize this film with is that there is nobody to like. While...

A pleasurable listening experience...

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 18:26:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - Pushmonkey just kind of came out of the woodwork recently. I had never heard of them before, but once I heard "Handslide" on the radio, I knew they had something other "me to" bands were missing. I went out to National Record Mart...

One of HP's best...

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 18:13:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - I picked this printer up at Office Max for $250 with some sort of mail-in rebate deal. This printer was to replace our older HP 693c model which had given out. This price range is typical of the higher-end inkjet market, but not as high as...

3dfx Voodoo3 2000 PCI: The all-in-one performance enhancer...

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 14:48:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - I bought the Voodoo3 2000 PCI about 8 months ago for my somewhat dated computer. Here are the specs:

Pentium 2 @ 400mhz

96mb SDRAM

Aureal A3d Sound

The computer came with a run-of-the-mill ATI Rage Pro graphics card with...

The true sequel to the Need for Speed

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 14:22:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - The Need for Speed series has been around for quite some time, and has helped shape the racing genre into what we know it to be today. When EA released The Need for Speed in 1995, the racing genre was changed forever. Gone were the quirky physics models...

Bang for your buck . . .

Sun, 26 Nov 2000 22:02:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - I bought these speakers last year from J&R Music World for the amazing price of $99/each.

The speakers are fairly large, and consist of a 15" Treated Pulp woofer, a 4" ferrofluid cooled midrange, and a 2" cone tweeter...

The JBL sound audiophiles trust...

Sun, 26 Nov 2000 17:32:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeffpresto - When the JBL name pops up, what comes to your mind? I think of high-grade but affordable audio systems, and that's exactly what you get with the Media System 2000.

I picked this sub/sat system up at OfficeMax for the very reasonable price of...
