Smell clean

Thu, 26 Feb 2004 20:27:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - Quasar is the cleanest smelling cologne I have ever used. No musky, flowery or tobacco/woody scents in it that I can detect. It's a very unique fragrance. My one gripe is that it doesn't last very long and takes a lot to amount to any kind of lasting...

Seau's: The Ultimate Sports-Restaurant.

Wed, 13 Jun 2001 22:15:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - I knew of Seau's Restaurant by way of a mention it got on a football game a few years ago. In the back of my head, I firmly resolved to eat there if I ever visited San Diego. My time came last week.

Stanley Cup finals, game 6. New Jersey is...

The Cadavers are the only Excellent things in this movie.

Sun, 6 May 2001 20:57:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - If you're a fan of film noir, you have to be familiar with Chazz Palminteri. He's a really good script writer and an excellent actor. And F. Murray Abraham appearing in the same film? Get outta town. I had to rent this.

It's based on a...

Tom Green is not funny.

Sun, 6 May 2001 07:29:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - I watched the Tom Green show on The Comedy Network long before he got famous. It was riveting, and I searched my mind for the reason why. I couldn't come up with one until recently, and it is this: Tom Green is not funny.

Put him in an empty...

Judge this book by its cover.

Mon, 16 Apr 2001 04:30:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - Some people buy scratch-and-win lotto tickets. They like the idea that even though the odds are against them, there's a small chance they may get a prize. I don't buy lottery tickets, I buy cds I have never heard just based on the cover art. The...

A turning point for Evil's Toy.

Sun, 15 Apr 2001 22:32:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - I picked up this album by special order, having purchased their Illusion cd from a used cd store. I remember thinking that I couldn't imagine why someone would have sold their copy of that.

On first listen, I took this album to be a...

Powerhouse.

Sun, 1 Apr 2001 17:45:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - Technically, this unit is considered a mini-component system. There's nothing mini about the quality of sound it produces.

Selling electronics, I had Panasonic, JVC, Sanyo and a few others one the shelf. I needed to hook up a computer to an...

Home theater.

Mon, 19 Mar 2001 04:58:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - A receiver is one of the most confusing pieces of audio equipment to buy. There's so many different standards and features, it's hard to know what's giong to fit your budget, while still satisfying your household requirements.

The first thing...

Typical finicky JVC portable.

Sun, 18 Mar 2001 17:17:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - I've used JVC portable CD players before. I always liked them for their price, compact size and features. What I didn't like was the flimsy construction of some of the lesser models. Also, I've always found the anti-skip on JVCs to be kind of spotty...

Lemme just nuke that for ya.

Sun, 18 Mar 2001 16:57:02 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - I don't know if it's the same everywhere, but for the last 10 years or so, Burger King in all its locations near me hasn't been flame-broiling anything. They've been microwaving their burgers.

I sure noticed when this started. They renovated...

Would you like fries with your suicide?

Wed, 7 Mar 2001 04:08:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - In the last couple of years, I've become much more health conscious than I used to be. Burgers used to be a staple of my diet. As I started to contemplate exactly how much salt and fat I was eating, I realized that this diet was as likely to kill me as...

Comic books come to life.

Sat, 3 Mar 2001 03:33:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - In an animation style that more resembles a comic book than anything else, Aeon Flux, an undercover agent runs missions ranging from dangerous to outright surreal in a society in the distant future.

The first thing you will notice in this film...

Hometown hero.

Wed, 28 Feb 2001 04:06:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - I'll assume since you're reading a review of a Billy Joel video that you're already a fan. If you're not, fire up your Napster and give him a try. I own this video; it was one of the first videos I ever purchased.

This concert was performed...

James Cameron's best movie to date.

Tue, 27 Feb 2001 02:05:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - James Cameron wrote this film, but chose to hand off the directing duties to Kathryn Bigelow -- and a damn good thing too. I can't imagine anyone doing a better job than Bigelow did. This film takes a touchy subject -- racial prejudice -- and handles...

A thinking man's rant comic.

Fri, 23 Feb 2001 03:17:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - George Carlin has changed a lot since the days of the Hippy Dippy Weatherman. And no, you won't find any of that classic fluff on this video. This is the lean, mean, no-nonsense Carlin of the 80s. He doesn't even drop any fart jokes.

This...

Best in its class.

Tue, 20 Feb 2001 05:26:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - For the purpose of clarity, this car was purchased and driven in Canada.

Before I made the plunge, I researched the hell out of this car and everything in its class and price range. My final two came down to the Chrysler Neon and the Hyundai...

Do NOT let your kids play this game.

Tue, 6 Feb 2001 04:10:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - This was the first game my brother got for his computer. I haven't been keeping up with video games for the last few years other than the Descent series. But after playing it once, I was hooked.

I have a big problem with video games today...

A very nice multi-purpose scanner.

Sun, 28 Jan 2001 10:02:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - I had used Agfa scanners in the past, so when it was time to buy my own, I opted for the familiar. The e40 had the features and specs I was looking for, so it was the one I chose.

Software: This is where I think Agfa has all other...

Looking for a better printer? Good luck.

Tue, 23 Jan 2001 02:14:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - I've thoroughly tested and abused each of Lexmark's Z-series printers. This one is their top-of-the-line model. Like its predecessor, the Z51, it connects to your PC using either a parallel or a USB cable. The Z51 was impressive enough. The Z52 is a...

A solid choice for versatility and ease of use.

Tue, 23 Jan 2001 01:39:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - I got my first chance to use one of these just about the day they came on the market. I had to set one up for a store display.

I was impressed with how easy it was to bring on line. I plugged in the power, plugged it into the computer (using...

LG Electronics CD-RW Recorders: The cheapest CD-RW is also the best?

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 00:18:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - I have been hunting for a CD writer for some time now and have been watching reviews and especially looking over Epinions. There wasn't much available on this unit (I got a CED-8081B) but I'm familiar with LG's other products and they've made a good...

I love it but...

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 23:59:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - I got this gamepad from my brother as a Christmas gift. I had tried his Rumblepad on my computer, and aside from the fact that it crashed my system 4 times trying to install it, I didn't think I liked the feel of it. I had mixed feelings about using...

Zone Alarm: A firewall for the rest of us.

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 21:26:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - Chances are you're not serving files on an FTP server, telnetting to remote sites or running your own web server. If your internet usage is restricted to web browsing, email, newsgroups and chat, Zone Labs has the firewall for you.

My First Car by Sony.

Wed, 27 Dec 2000 03:25:58 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - I've been driving a 1991 Plymouth Sundance for far too long, so I'm actively shopping for a new car. Now, I have to say I'm bitterly cheap so I'm looking at economy cars, 1 to 3 years old. I couldn't let the opportunity to look a Sunfire over pass me...

Crafty modern music.

Wed, 20 Dec 2000 04:19:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author livewire_ - I play Mythos albums in my home and in my car, and it never fails. Someone has to ask, "Hey, who is this?" Ah, another satisfied customer.
