Paulo Coelho at his best

Wed, 17 May 2000 20:12:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - This is, by far, one of the best books by Paulo Coelho to date. It is the wondrous account of the prophet Elijah during his stay in Phoenicia. Normally I don't care for books that fill in the blanks when there is little or no concrete evidence to base it...

My Sentiments Exactly

Sun, 7 May 2000 00:25:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - It's A Wonderful Life is a classic, and for good reason. It's the ultimate slice of Americana gone by, yet at the same time presents morality in a positive light and something to be sought after in this age (something all too often scorned in today's...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - I Dreamed of Africa...no I dreamed of something else. I dreamed of a movie that would not make me want to gouge my eyes out for entertainment.

I dreamed of a movie that had characters with depth, instead of empty tidbits of nothingness that...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - Empire Records, what a great movie. In the grand tradition of great 90's American youth comedies, Empire Records pulls together dynamic and believable characters and immerses them into the world of a record store.

This is the record store that...

What, a Fable?

Mon, 28 Feb 2000 18:35:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - I can't honestly say where I originally heard about The Alchemist, it was just one of those books that seems to find its way into your hands despite how you try to avoid it in favor of others. When I finally got around to reading it I found that I had...

Sat, 29 Jan 2000 14:41:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - My brother bought this game about a week after my little sister got the red version. It's basically the same as the red version with a few minor changes, but overall they're very much alike.

I love the idea of raising your characters and making them...

Sat, 29 Jan 2000 14:38:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - My little sister got this game for her birthday and pretty soon I was playing it more than she was.

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 16:45:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - Although I really wanted to see another movie that particular night I found myself in the theater watching Man on the Moon. It was exactly what I had expected. It was good but nothing breathtaking. Somewhat like the Truman show it seemed to have a good...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - This movie is absolutely hysterical. An entire school full of young geniuses running rampant what could be more fun? From freezing the hallways with liquid nitrogen to disassembling each others car, there is potential for creative destruction...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - I began reading Teeth as a mere diversion; something to help me ignore my history teacher, but I soon began to get interested in this novel and wanted to know more about where it was going and what the author was trying to say.

As the main...

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 02:22:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - I went into Snow Falling on Cedars expecting to see a great movie. Unfortunately, it wasn't as good as I had hoped.

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 21:14:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - Remember those classic television shows that portrayed teenage life exactly as it is. Neither do I, but this is about as close as I've seen.

The characters in Freaks and Geeks seem to be representative of the hierarchy of high school life...

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 21:02:07 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - A few thousand years ago, when this show first came on the air, it was quite amusing. A couple of endearing young kids wading their way through the turmoil of high school life seemed quite entertaining, but now that the show's stars are celebrating their...

Famous Jett Jackson, The: Thou Fiend!!!

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 20:48:44 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - I absolutely detest this television show. Quick, someone gauge my eyes out with a steaming ice pick and then pour acid in the sockets.

This show is about as entertaining as listening to someone scraping their nails against a chalk board. It's...

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 20:16:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - I remember watching The Dick Van Dyke Show as kid. Granted, the show ended long before I was even born, but I still enjoy its great sense of clean humor.

It's a show that I can watch with just about anyone because just about everyone enjoys it. The...

Dodge This and you'll really be missing out

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 22:45:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - In all honesty I thought The Matrix would be your average sci-fi/action thriller with plenty of action and little depth. I was dead wrong. The Matrix is absolutely one of the best movies I have ever seen.

The characters in The Matrix fairly well...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - I picked up my first copy of PC Gamer several years ago when I was but a wee lad. From that day forth I always rushed to the magazine stand in anticipation of the latest issue.

Bloodlust

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 01:49:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - Ninja scrolls is most definitely an interesting movie. If you like anime with vicious blood dripping scenes of violence this is your kind of film.

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 01:36:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - I originally rented this film in search of some clues as to why so many of my friends are obsessed with anime. After watching my first Tenchi movie I am beginning to understand. I rather enjoyed this film. It was a lot cleaner, in terms of its...

Akira!!!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - My friends are anime addicts. Thus it is only natural that on occasion they manage to talk me, the least avid of the group, into an quick anime flic.

Hey, not too shabby

Fri, 24 Dec 1999 23:50:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kamikazemike - As I entered the theater I wasn't expecting much. It was to be yet another movie in which Robin Williams was to play an amusing yet heart-touching character. Don't get me wrong, I like several of his movies especially Dead Poets society, but many of his...
