Avoid this "value" set

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 15:29:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - Recently my ten year old 19 inch RCA XL100 tv set began to exhibit an annoying quirk. Channels one through nine would not function properly., they would come in fine for a while but then would make this horrible screeching sound and would become very...

Back to the Future for Nintendo: A pure atrocity.

Sun, 21 Aug 2005 17:31:02 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - The Back To The Future series is one of my all time favorite movie series. It’s one of the few series that has spawned more than two films and managed to have all three of them be high quality movies. This is somewhat rare in the movie industry as...

Sweeeeeeeet!

Mon, 18 Jul 2005 01:30:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - There is something about taking something that involves the innocence of childhood and then makes it somewhat dark and creepy that can really captivate an audience. This film does that, and it does it quite well. When I first read they were making...

A must have set!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - For the past several years I have been disappointed with Disney. They were taking way to long to release some of their classics to DVD *they finally put my two favorites out though*, they were letting their amusement park rides *especially Thunder...

Carpenter could have built something better than this disc. However, it's not terrible

Wed, 24 Nov 2004 23:45:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - I stumbled upon this cd quite by accident. I was at a local movie store that was closing down and they were having massive sales to clear out as much as they could before shutting down there stores for good. I was looking around the sound track section...

Simply magical.

Mon, 22 Nov 2004 08:26:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - Before I really delve into what my thoughts are on this film I would first like to point out what a challenge converting a book into a film is. Finding actors to fit the characters, and what to include and what not to include are just a few of the...

This movie would go good with a fine red whine.

Sun, 14 Nov 2004 21:03:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - I can remember when I first watched this movie, and I thought it was actually an awesome film. Not awesome for its amount of cheese contained within, nor for its hilarity, but just an awesome movie overall. I was recently reminded of this films...

Super Mario World for Super Nintendo: My favorite Mario game

Tue, 9 Jul 2002 19:51:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - Well I have been on a bit of a writing spree, and I just got back from work and figured, why stop it now? I wanted to review another classic game that I have found memories of playing, and wanted it to be a SNES game. But which one should I review? I...

Contra III: The Alien Wars for Super Nintendo: Oh how I miss this series!

Mon, 8 Jul 2002 18:20:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - Ah Contra, tis a game series I miss very badly. I remember the first time I saw the original Contra for the NES and how I was just amazed by the games cool weapons, fun game play and (for that time), sharp graphics. I have fond memories of staying home...

Top Gear for Super Nintendo: A true racing classic

Sun, 7 Jul 2002 16:04:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - Although my interest in videogames has waned over the past year I would still consider myself a gamer. I have tried games in pretty much every genre and have gotten a very good taste of what the videogame industry has to offer.

One of my...

A great park over a sprawling city!

Tue, 15 Jan 2002 14:31:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - In late November I realized I had a paid weeks vacation, and decided to use it. However, what would I do while on vacation? I mean sitting around the house “taking it easy” is fun, but I wouldn’t want to spend an entire week doing that…would you?...

What a nice little park!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - Some really old wise man once said that good things come in small packages. This guy must have been to Indiana Beach!

Indiana Beach is located in Monticello, Indiana. It was built on an island/peninsula like landmass which means that it is...

I love this guide!

Wed, 22 Aug 2001 15:46:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - As some of you already know, I LOVED the game Sonic Adventure 2! The game just wowed (is wowed really a word) me to death. The game had so much depth, that it sometimes felt like it was more than just a simple Dreamcast game. To put it simply, I loved...

One word says it all: WOW!

Thu, 16 Aug 2001 14:39:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - James Cameron is a genius!

When The Abyss was released it was very long. So long in fact that some people thought it was boring and dull. I beg to differ!

I think that this film is a cinematic work of art! Everything about the...

I'm mad for Mad TV

Mon, 30 Jul 2001 14:30:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - There are a lot of stupid television shows out there. A lot of shows out there call themselves funny, but either leave you snoring, or leave you saying “Am I supposed to be laughing right now”.

A lot of comedies simply aren’t funny. Mad TV is...

This magazine is the best!

Sun, 29 Jul 2001 15:05:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - There has been quite a few videogame magazines that have come, and sometimes gone.

Before I begin my opinion on EGM I would like to take a chance to discuss some of the magazines that didn’t survive.

One such magazine, (in fact one...

Fri, 27 Jul 2001 16:30:46 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - I have always been a fan of the great blue hedgehog named Sonic.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - Originally I planned to be the first person to review this game. However, once I started to play this game, I had problems being able to quit playing it long enough to actually write this review!

Since I am the type of person that has...

Sega Dreamcast Grey Console: Ode to my Dreamcast!

Sun, 8 Jul 2001 18:24:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - Rather than just writing a normal review of the wonderful system that is Sega Dreamcast, I have decided to write a review, but also to make it sort of an ode to my favorite system ever.

I remember how excited I was. As soon as I saw the first...

The greatest park on Earth!

Wed, 4 Jul 2001 16:12:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - Cedar Point is amazing. They have broken numerous records on several different occasions. They currently hold the record for most rides in one park, second tallest and fastest roller coaster, and most roller coasters in one park.

As I said...

Qool.com: Way past un-qool!

Tue, 29 May 2001 23:44:36 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - When I first heard of bidding without paying out money I got excited. I mean who wouldn’t? Can you imagine going onto ebay and getting whatever you want, and not having to pay a single penny? Just the idea sends chills up and down my spine. The idea...

These people are worse than the Brady Bunch!

Sun, 27 May 2001 15:17:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - Have you ever taken a vacation that ended up being a total disaster? Ever wrecked your car, lost all your money, or had a member of the family die on the way? If so, you should see this film, if you haven’t already.

Daniel Stern is hilarious

Wed, 23 May 2001 23:53:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - As a person who loves comedy, and the outdoors, this film is a true wonder.

This film starts off with a man named Max (played by the outstanding Daniel Stern) walking down the street to the song “Staying Alive”. This Max guy is very stuck on...

I now have a fear of traveling west!

Sun, 20 May 2001 15:55:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jschmalzried - After seeing this film, I developed a fear of traveling out west. Although I have never actually traveled out to the more western part of this great country, I tell people I would never do so without a gun.

Anyways this film is an emotional...
