Over the years I've discovered I'm particularly fond of the Suikoden series (I own III-V), Final Fantasy series (I own VII-XII), Atelier Iris, Dragon Quest, and even Kingdom... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~428821614212 Sun, 4 May 2008 21:55:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_428821614212?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_428149411460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Threesome isn't a movie I'm proud to admit I've seen. There are of course worse examples of cinema out there, but by and large it is a tragically awful picture. But what about the soundtrack, you wonder? Well whether or not you like it might depend a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~428149411460 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:30:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_428149411460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_427636985476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Unless you spend well over $100, diaper bags are not "cute." To add insult to injury, those in my price range tended toward the obnoxious Pooh or flower decor. Neither appealed to me in the least. I also wanted to make sure that when my husband had... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~427636985476 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:12:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_427636985476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426971270788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - I've never been shy about admitting to enjoying films and books with very dark themes. I love reading nasty, disgusting, and amoral horror. I also can't help but enjoy similar things in movies. A few weeks back I read The Girl Next Door by Jack... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426971270788 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 21:41:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426971270788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426431516292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - What kid doesn't enjoy lighting up a dark room or generally wreaking havoc on a household with a flashlight? My son is no exception. He's a big fan of my husband's Mag-lights and enjoys figuring out all the other flashlights around the house. He also... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426431516292 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 15:34:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426431516292?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426152660612?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - "What if?" This question is at the center of Jack Ketchum's chilling novel The Girl Next Door (1989). It deeply examines the human psyche and the way people can be easily influenced, pressured, and in the end completely controlled. There have been... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426152660612 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 16:20:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426152660612?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_425982070404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Video games in movies don't have a great track record. All the way back to Tron, the plot device has been a failure. In recent years we've seen the creation and destruction of games like House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, Doom, and BloodRayne... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~425982070404 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 11:08:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_425982070404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_424857603716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Nasty, disgusting, but engrossing Jack Ketchum's Off Season is quite the book. The title has a long and sordid history. Ketchum (a pseudonym belonging to writer Dallas Mayr) originally submitted a much more brutal text to the publisher. While the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~424857603716 Fri, 4 Apr 2008 14:50:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_424857603716?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_424318570116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - The benefit of having hair that tends to be dry in the winter and "normal" in the summer is that I have lots of options as far as products go. This has allowed me the opportunity to try dozens of shampoos and conditioners. Some are good, some are... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~424318570116 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 17:11:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_424318570116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_424175111812?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Even the slightest bit of residue weighs my thin, fine, and straight hair down. Despite being a little difficult to manage during Michigan winters, I am fortunate to have non-frizzy and relatively easy hair. That doesn't mean I don't like products that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~424175111812 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 17:27:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_424175111812?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_424073727620?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Walk into your local chain bookstore. Look at the horror section (if it exists--my Barnes & Noble doesn't have one, Borders does). What do you see? A bunch of V.C. Andrews, maybe some Robert McCammon, a load of Dean Koontz, a slew of Stephen King, a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~424073727620 Sat, 29 Mar 2008 22:16:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_424073727620?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_423536529028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - My son likes books. This comes as a big relief to me since I'm a huge reader. Had I not been able to pass my joy on to Zack I would have been disappointed. Sure he's not quite two years old, but so far so good! One of his recent favorites is Come... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~423536529028 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 22:25:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_423536529028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_423261605508?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Of my approximately 200 apocalyptic fiction novels, approximately 10-15 specifically deal with floods. The Deluge by Mark Morris falls into this category, but it adds a twist to the usual story. While it isn't entirely developed, the fact that the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~423261605508 Sun, 23 Mar 2008 22:52:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_423261605508?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_422777097860?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Where do I start? Donnie Darko is hands down one of the best movies ever made. It oozes energy and philosophy, angst and intelligence. I wanted nothing more than to see its young creator, writer, and director Richard Kelly to follow up with... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~422777097860 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 22:33:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_422777097860?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_422599233156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Really great and innovative science fiction films are few and far between. Most are subtle. They begin one way but turn into something else entirely. In the last decade titles including Equilibrium, Donnie Darko, Gattaca, 28 Days Later, Minority... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~422599233156 Tue, 18 Mar 2008 16:49:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_422599233156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_422259756676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - A few years ago, I quit my job as a computer professional to become a full-time mom. It can be a thankless job but also has proven challenging and interesting. I adore seeing my son grow up before my eyes. Prior to quitting my job, I could not cook... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~422259756676 Sat, 15 Mar 2008 23:11:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_422259756676?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_421869293188?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Rock and roll is here to stay, so why don't you share it with your kids! There's nothing wrong with the original versions of most songs. The youngest children won't get sarcasm or "naughty" or even general disenchantment. But with that said, I feel... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~421869293188 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 17:27:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_421869293188?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_421219765892?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - I have come to the realization that not all kid's music is obnoxious. Much of it is--you know the animal-voiced, whiny, unintelligible, and stupid crap often based on cartoon characters. Some of it is not, especially that from the Rockabye Baby!... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~421219765892 Fri, 7 Mar 2008 15:13:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_421219765892?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_420309732996?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Toddlers love to clean. It's too bad this desire doesn't (apparently) last through childhood. With that said, I feel the need to attempt to help him nurture his talent. He loves brooms, mops, wipes (he uses them like Clorox wipes to clean every hard... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~420309732996 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 14:14:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_420309732996?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_419831254660?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Over the last year or two I've been pimping Brian Keene as one of the most talented working horror writers. His style is dark and visceral, definitely not for all readers. If you enjoy good old fashioned splatterpunk with the occasional surprisingly... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~419831254660 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 23:40:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_419831254660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_419823521412?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - I'd like to think my son is a creative, intelligent thinker. Of course he is only 22 months old so that really remains to be seen. I do want to nurture his problem solving skills so the fact that he so enjoys puzzles is helpful. He's got a variety... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~419823521412 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 22:48:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_419823521412?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_419272625796?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Television is an important part of lives in today's culture. With that said, we've made it a point not to make T.V. a big thing in Zack's life. Somehow we've managed and it has taken until now, at 21 months old, for him to attach himself to anything... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~419272625796 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 16:07:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_419272625796?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_418516995716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Twin sisters with incredibly beautiful and perfectly complimentary voices, Tegan and Sara are one of the most unique and powerful acts to come out of Canada in the last few years. Along with Arcade Fire, they have made a huge splash to a worldwide... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~418516995716 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 22:25:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_418516995716?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_418210549380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - The Beatles are easily and obviously one of the most recognizable bands in music history. They had dozens upon dozens of hits and found popularity across the globe. Their songs are diverse in both sound and theme. They had various eras and each of the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~418210549380 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 17:32:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_418210549380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_417829392004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - One major challenge is to bridge the gap between fun and educational. My son, now 21 months old, is particularly fond of a few kinds of toys. He likes blocks and cars, Little people and puzzles, tools and books. He also seems to take great pride in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~417829392004 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 14:09:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_417829392004?linkin_id=8003929
