A great movie if you haven't read the book

Sat, 31 Mar 2007 21:20:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - The Princess Diaries is one of my favorite Disney movies. Mia Thermopolis, played by Anne Hathaway, discovers that she is actually a princess when she meets her grandmother (Julie Andrews) for the first time. As with the usual "makeover movies,"...

We're the next generation of Farberware fans!

Sat, 31 Mar 2007 16:46:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - I don't actually own this collection of pots and pans yet. My partner and I have been building our wedding registry, and after lots of reading about all of the different brands of designer pots and pans, we decided to go with what is familiar and...

Is it possible to love a textbook?

Sat, 31 Mar 2007 07:46:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - [Note: There seems to be some confusion as to which book this product link refers to; some of the price comparison links are for the textbook, whereas some link to the casenotes book. This review is on the textbook.] I know it must seem odd for a...

This book saved my life (or at least, my GPA)

Sat, 31 Mar 2007 07:17:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - I was determined not to start reading case capsules during my first year of law school; the whole reason they put students through such hell during the 1L year is to teach us how to think like lawyers, and reading case summaries cuts out 2/3 of the...

Disappointing and bland, but you have to get it anyway

Sat, 31 Mar 2007 06:00:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - I adore Sarah McLachlan. You'll see this from the reviews I've written about her other CDs. I love her music dearly, and had high expectations for this first album after a long hiatus during which her only major release was "Mirrorball" (a.k.a...

UPS. Noun. Pronounced, "OOPS."

Fri, 30 Mar 2007 07:11:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - The only possible way a person could write a helpful review of this service would be for the reviewer to advise readers to look elsewhere for their domestic delivery needs. I have spent more hours on the phone with UPS than I have with any other...

Mind-Boggling Fun

Fri, 30 Mar 2007 04:30:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - We have friends over fairly often, and this game is definitely one of our favorites to bring out. The game is terrific because it relies on teamwork and a variety of creative and intellectual tasks. This is no "Candyland"; if you want to win, you're...

Mischievous fun for all ages

Fri, 30 Mar 2007 03:23:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - Our friends got us hooked on "Apples to Apples" one evening when we were sick of the usual board games. We were a little bit skeptical - how much fun could a game be with just a handful of cards? - but we had a blast, and we've loved this game ever...

Rare to find a voice of this quality

Wed, 28 Mar 2007 00:53:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - Whether it be in a month or in a year, I have no doubt that you are going to hear about Sara Bareilles. You may already have heard her songs in various movies including "Monster-in-Law," "Loving Annabelle," and "Girl Play," as well as several television...

Up-and-Coming Stars

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - If you're in college, you may have seen these lovely ladies play at your school some time in the past couple of years. You probably remember their energy, their wit, and their fantastic melodies and harmonies. You may have been wowed by the variety of...

"Wahoo's?"

Tue, 27 Mar 2007 08:01:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - "Wahoo's?" That one little question says so much: "Wanna go to Wahoo's? Should we walk, or should we drive? Dine in or take out? One order of chips and guac, or two? Race you to the door!" For nearly seven years I rode past a Wahoo's Fish Taco on...

Endwich... Because We Care!

Tue, 27 Mar 2007 06:26:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - As a self-proclaimed shopaholic, I have to praise Sophie Kinsella’s Shopaholic series for its realistic portrayal of the inner clockworks that make up the brain of a born shopper. The tone of the books is very Bridget-Jones-eque, but Becky...

The Greatest Lesbian Love Story You Never Recognized

Tue, 27 Mar 2007 05:58:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - Review first, rant second. Review: "Fried Green Tomatoes" is perhaps one of the best movies to come out of the ninteties. Housewife Evelyn Couch (Kathy Bates) meets and befriends Ninny Threadgoode (Jessica Tandy), an elderly nursing home patient with...

Ebates.com: If you love to shop, this is your new favorite site

Tue, 27 Mar 2007 04:51:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - If you shop a lot online, you’ll love eBates; each time you make a purchase, you get a rebate amounting to 1% to 25% cash back deposited into your eBates account, and every quarter (that’s every three months, folks!), they send you a rebate...

MyPoints.com: Casual browsers and "frequent shoppers" will both benefit from this program!

Tue, 27 Mar 2007 04:37:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - I adore MyPoints; I buy my textbooks and office supplies from barnesandnoble.com and officedepot.com, and shop on other sites I use frequently, and I get points. When I have enough points I cash in for gift cards to a bunch of different places. I have...

This will change the way you do banking

Tue, 27 Mar 2007 04:21:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - I absolutely ADORE ING Direct. This is a bank that deals primarily with savings and investments, but they recently, they finally, FINALLY made available a high-interest no-minimum-balance checking account, and I'm so excited. This is how I know I'm...

Barnes & Noble.com: Cash in on terrific discounts for your most expensive buys

Tue, 27 Mar 2007 04:04:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - If you're a student like me, odds are you're spending obscene, insane (ha, obscane!) amounts on textbooks. I'm in a professional degree program (grad school), so you can imagine what my textbook bills are like! Luckily, I figured out early that there...

NetFlix: Fantastic way to keep on top of the latest hits and relive the classics

Tue, 27 Mar 2007 03:54:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - My partner and I LOVE Netflix. We can rent all the movies, new / old-school / classic TV shows, and documentaries we want for one low monthly price (our queue has at least 250 DVDs in it right now, not counting the dozens and dozens and dozens we've...

Can't do a good Borat impression; still love the movie!

Mon, 26 Mar 2007 09:27:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - Let me preface this part by saying that I am not a fan of "stupid humor" and crude comedy. If a movie is only funny because it exploits sex and bodily functions, odds are I'm going to spend most of the duration rolling my eyes. In this movie, I...

Picoult does it again - a fascinating and relevant read

Sun, 25 Mar 2007 09:27:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - If you were a teenager in any American high school when the Columbine school shooting took place, you know that times have changed compared to "the good old days" (read: before Columbine). School shootings have become more common, but school security has...

AppleCare: A wise investment (because warranties are always a good idea!)

Tue, 8 Aug 2006 23:24:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - With small electronics, you can learn either the easy way or the hard way that warranties are always a good idea. Luckily, I learned it as a child, and have always made it a rule to purchase an extended warranty on any electronic item that costs...

Had this baby from the start!

Sat, 19 Feb 2005 02:24:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - I bought my first Philips eXpanium mp3 CD player as soon as it came out; I'd been waiting impatiently for mp3-CD models to be released, and when they were, I bought both the walkman and the boombox versions, paying about $99 for each (I checked Amazon...

Yes, but MY boombox plays mp3s!

Tue, 4 Feb 2003 06:22:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - After waiting months and months for various models and brands of mp3-CD players to come out, I was ecstatic to see both the discman and the boombox versions of the Philips eXpanium show up in a search on Amazon. I bought them both immediately ('cause you...

Instant ice cream in only 24 hours!

Fri, 17 Jan 2003 17:55:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - My girlfriend and I bought this ice cream maker after reading epinions about it, and I have to say that although some reviews were dead on, some revealed a lack of instruction-reading on the part of the reviewers.

Sprint Mobile Phone Service in Los Angeles: A scathing review of Sprint PCS Vision: If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Fri, 10 Jan 2003 19:53:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lizzamay - I've been a Sprint PCS user since September of 2001. When I originally got it, I was thrilled with my new service and my precious SCH-8500 phone. I got a plan with lots of minutes, because most of my cell-phone time was spent surfing the wireless web,...
