Mon, 23 Apr 2001 19:23:38 GMT

Fri, 20 Apr 2001 21:22:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author langy - I don't do an awful lot of flying. In fact, I've only needed to take to the skies on two separate occasions. On both of these occasions, I flew with Ansett Airlines, and both times, I was very satisfied with their service.

Mon, 9 Apr 2001 03:18:23 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author langy - I have not used Yahoo's auction service since they introduced auction fees a few months back. I thought at the time that it wasn't an altogether bad idea, and should improve the quality of the items placed for bidding. This morning, I was looking for an...

The Cell -Worst Movie Of The Year

Thu, 7 Dec 2000 20:17:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author langy - This movie is the most ridiculous piece of drivel ever to hit the silver screen. How on earth it made it that far is beyond my comprehension. Basically, it is a movie about delving into the depths of a killer's mind. It seems to say more about the...
