Great...If you like driving slow!

Wed, 21 Jul 2004 10:39:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - If you are thinking about buying a Land Rover, there are a few things you should know about: 1) You will pay a LOT for gas. 2) This SUV has zero turning radius. 3) Don't take turns hard or you will pay. 4) If you are shorter than 5'4", GET THE...

Boring...just skip it.

Mon, 19 Jul 2004 15:41:46 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - My husband and I went to see this movie, and the only thing that made us laugh was the "mentally retarded" Brick character. I love Will Ferrell, but I hated this movie. There were no funny jokes, no funny scenarios, and just a lot of boring dialogue...

Great--If you live in NYC!

Mon, 19 Jul 2004 15:35:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - This is yet another book that is supposed to be fiction, but you know is based on very real people. The society scene in NYC is ripped open and exposed with the requisite billionaires, social climbers, mistresses and kleptos that make up Park Avenue...

Quantum/SubSonic Rocks!

Mon, 19 Jul 2004 15:29:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - This is a great little home theater in a box for someone in an apartment. The tiny SubSonic subwoofer really rocks, without driving your neighbors crazy. And the Quantum sats are great for both home theater and music. You can hear every detail when I...

What happens when a good course goes bad...

Wed, 21 Mar 2001 19:05:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - Oyster Bay used to be one of the most popular town courses in Long Island. The entire property used to belong to one estate and was converted into a golf course. The restaurant isn't bad and the pro shop staff are friendly enough.

The course...

Another terrible New York City golf course...

Fri, 26 Jan 2001 12:00:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - Clearview GC is a great bargain if you're a New York City resident. However, if you're not, you will have to pay full price and it's not worth it for the quality of the course.

Clearview is nicknamed "the Korean Country Club". Not because it's...

Best Kung Fu Movie Ever

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 22:20:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - I've seen many kung fu movies in my lifetime but this one simply outshines them all. An epic story of love, hate, revenge and redemption, with earthshattering fight scenes to boot.

To be frank, I was never a big fan of Ang Lee. Long boring...

Review Topic: Restaurants

We stayed at a Holiday Inn on IH-35 (exit 239)during our visit to Austin. At the front of the hotel parking lot is a restaurant called "Dixie's Roadhouse." Although large and clean, it didn't...

Perfect blush, all the time.

Mon, 30 Oct 2000 15:29:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - I recommended that Benetint be added to Epinions and it's because I love it. There are some people that SHOULD NOT use Benetint: people who blush easily, people with darker skin tones and people with freckles.

Benetint is a liquid tint made of...

Kung Fu Kicks Butt!

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 09:54:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - Only the man who singlehandedly brought back the popularity of kungfu movies to the US mainstream audience can rehash his old movies and make them popular again...Of course, that man is Jackie Chan, and his old/new movie, The Legend of Drunken Boxer, is...

Comfort Food Galore

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 14:38:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - Right across from the world famous Union Square Cafe is a little eatery called Chat 'N Chew. The restaurant is small and packed full of tables. Although the prices aren't what you'd expect from a restaurant specializing in comfort food, the high prices...

An Awesome Alternative to the Palm V!

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 13:57:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - I've finally purchased my Sony PDA after waiting anxiously since Sony announced it in June. I am excited to say that it's been worth every moment of waiting.

I used to own a Compaq Aero, way back when Windows CE was first introduced and ended...

One of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time!

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 15:08:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - Drop Dead Gorgeous is a very underappreciated movie. When it was in the theaters, I thought it would suck because the commercials did. I didn't see it until it was released in DVD and now I regret not seeing it earlier.

Kirsten Dunst is...

A review from a closet RPG junkie

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 14:36:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - Okay, so I rented Evolution 2 despite the odd looks my husband gave me. I loved the original Evolution and didn't expect many advances from the first. I couldn't be more wrong.

Not only were the graphics sharper, and more advanced, but the...

Great place to schmooze

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 14:16:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - I went to Docks to meet a client with my boss. The atmosphere of Docks during lunch oozes power. But not any typical power---publishing and television power. My boss pointed out and identified the book publishers, the people from ESPN who work right...

The worse eyeliner I've ever used.

Wed, 20 Sep 2000 10:23:19 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - I LOVE liquid eyeliner. Usually I use a liquid eyeliner that not waterproof, but because NY has had an unprecedented amount of rain this summer, I needed something that wouldn't rub off because of the humidity.

I bought this eyeliner because...

Was it the Raid or the Lysol?

Fri, 15 Sep 2000 14:47:55 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - Every year we have a serious carpenter ant problem in my apartment. And for some reason, they only choose to infest our bathroom, of all places. We live in a 2 story house which has been converted into two apartments. Our bathroom is directly over the...

Not funny at all

Mon, 11 Sep 2000 09:54:22 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - With the exception of New Jack City, any movie with Chris Rock is expected to be funny. The trailer made it seem like it was supposed to be a funny movie. But it's not.

Nurse Betty is a movie that makes you cringe in your seat because it is...

PERFECT FOR HOLIDAY SHIPPING!!!!

Fri, 1 Sep 2000 10:29:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - FedEx is trying to use Express Saver as their alternative to UPS Ground. Since they bought RPS, they also have an alternative service called "FedEx Ground" which is cheaper and takes forever, just like UPS. Express Saver is a tad more expensive...

Great for home, but not for commercial use

Fri, 1 Sep 2000 10:02:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - My family used to run a 12,000 square foot store that was completely covered with commercial carpet. We tried all sorts of vacuums meant for commercial use and every single one would break down completely after one year. An Oreck store came into our area...

Great except during holidays

Fri, 1 Sep 2000 09:51:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - What is Priority? As far as I can tell, it's just first class mail with a fancy sticker. If you send something first class OVER 2 pounds, the computer will read "Priority". If you are sending something UNDER 2 pounds then send it first class...

Best Doughnuts on Earth!

Wed, 30 Aug 2000 09:48:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - When I was young, my parents ran a Dunkin' Donuts franchise in Manhattan, so I grew up eating a lot of doughnuts. When I got a little older, I made a secret vow to myself never to eat another doughnut because, frankly, I was sick of them.

It's reliable but not the best.

Wed, 16 Aug 2000 09:22:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - I've used Express Mail hundreds of times mailing things out for an e-commerce site I used to work for. Express Mail is UNBEATABLE when it comes to holiday and weekend deliveries---they don't charge extra and they deliver on Christmas Day. Express Mail is...

Food doesn't stick!

Wed, 16 Aug 2000 09:09:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - My mother got me an assorted set of Circulon when I got married, but the one I use the most is the large saute pan. It's been a year and the interior of the pan is slightly scratched---but I think it's mostly from my husband using a metal spoon to stir...

Gives new meaning to fast food...

Mon, 7 Aug 2000 14:38:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - Sam's is a great little noodle shop on 3rd Avenue, away from the hustle and bustle towards the Westside. Since I work on 33rd and Park, I don't go more than two blocks to eat because everywhere I go is a 15 minute line and costs me about $10. I started...
