Good for Minimal Usage, but Quirks Abound

Tue, 18 Jan 2005 01:49:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author konky2000 - I do not have very demanding needs for a portable MP3 player. The only time I am in a position to need something like this is the 40 minutes a day I am at the gym. For this basic need, the Creative Rhomba is perfectly acceptable. There are some...

Finally, The Full Unabridged Version is Available

Tue, 4 Jan 2005 13:07:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author konky2000 - Fanny and Alexander was originally intended to be a nearly 5 hour multi part TV mini-series. International film distributors refused to show a film that long, however, so Ingemar Bergman was forced to cut his film down to just over 3 hours. Only his...

ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon 9600 XT 128 MB DDR/AGP-8X/VIVO/Dual-VGA/S-Video: Realistic Expectations are Necessary, I like it for my purposes.

Fri, 24 Dec 2004 15:17:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author konky2000 - I have now happily been using my All-In-Wonder for 6 months. It is the most expensive video card I ever bought, but I haven't second guessed my decision to buy it in all the time I have owned it. My previous video card was a relatively powerful...

Worth A Second Look

Sun, 14 Nov 2004 16:04:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author konky2000 - When the Angel of Darkness first came out, bad reviews scared me off of buying and playing it. Now more than a year after its release, I have finally bought and played the game. I'm very glad I waited. The fully patched game played on today's technology,...

Dreamy Sets and Costumes

Tue, 10 Feb 2004 21:19:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author konky2000 - Considering this film was made in France only 1 year after the end of WWII, it is quite a remarkable cinematic achievement. As imaginative and beautiful as it is, though, the film nevertheless shows its age and isn't likely to win over any new fans as...

Great Adaptation

Sat, 31 Jan 2004 22:31:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author konky2000 - This four hour adaptation is true enough to the spirit of Tolstoy's novel to satisfy fans of the book, while at the same time remaining engaging enough to create new fans of the story as well. This is no small feat, as the book is an 800 page behemoth...

The Perfect Size For My Apartment

Thu, 22 Jan 2004 18:31:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author konky2000 - This Toshiba is a dramatic improvement over our old 20” TV/VCR combo. It is filled with features that we have been desiring for quite some time. I think it is a TV that we will be able to stick with for a long time to come. Our 2 year old TV was...

Everything I Always Wanted in a DVD Player

Thu, 22 Jan 2004 17:45:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author konky2000 - I honestly don't ask for too much from my DVD players. I want something that is easy to set up, simple enough that everyone in my family can figure out how to use it, and advanced enough that it isn't likely to become out-dated in 6 months. On all...

More Action Than I Expected, or Wanted

Tue, 13 Jan 2004 14:32:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author konky2000 - I will be the first to admit that I'm not an anime superfan. Although I rank Studio Ghibli films Grave of the Fireflies, Kiki's Delivery Service, and Totoro as some of my favorite films of all time, I found the studio's Princess...

Read the Book Instead, Its Called 'Philosophy for Dummies'

Wed, 31 Dec 2003 14:10:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author konky2000 - Next to Zardoz, this film ranks as one of the most dreadfully pretentious films I have ever experienced. This was quite a disappointment for me, as I have previously been a big fan of director Richard Linklater's work. His previous attempt at stream of...

Don't Believe the Hype

Tue, 30 Dec 2003 01:38:08 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author konky2000 - This DVD has disappointed me pretty badly. Although I am very happy to have finally been able to see the famously canceled 'Ben Stiller Show', I was not happy to find that the show provided me and my viewing companions with very few genuine laughs. For...

Relive the Movie

Tue, 23 Dec 2003 13:38:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author konky2000 - Ever since seeing the film, I have been humming parts of the soundtrack and thinking about the film constantly. Since I can't exactly watch the film and maintain a healthy work schedule, I broke down and purchased the soundtrack from the film --...

Pretty, Shallow, Empty Lives

Mon, 22 Dec 2003 00:45:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author konky2000 - Even though I found director Sophia Coppola's previous film, Virgin Suicides, to be a very dully executed attempt at making an 'art film', the word of mouth on her latest film, 'Lost in Translation' became so hot and hyped up that I finally relented and...

Surprisingly Funny

Sat, 31 May 2003 13:27:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author konky2000 - I hesitate to rent old comedies from the 60's, because I find they are almost always outdated. The humor is often based on overlong slapstick routines that aren't funny anymore, or, worse, rampant ethnic stereotyping leaves such a bad taste in the mouth...

Your apartment away from home.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author konky2000 - I have just returned from a multi-week stay at the Residence Inn Costa Mesa, and I must say that I was very impressed.

Good For Some Laughs

Mon, 5 May 2003 20:25:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author konky2000 - I didn't find this film at all scary, and I watched it alone in my house at night. Too often I found myself laughing at the film.

A highlight of the film is Dr. James Hayes played by Roger Perry. Despite the fact that he is a doctor, he is...

First Film From a True Visionary

Sun, 4 May 2003 16:58:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author konky2000 - What has always set George Lucas' films apart from other Sci-Fi has been the incredible way in which he is able to make fantasy worlds seem believable. It is what, in my opinion, truly sets the Star Wars series apart from the Star Trek series. In Luke...
