I love you, Julian!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - Going into a Radio Shack(or similar store) bores me stupid. When I bought my TV, I brought along a male friend who did most of the talking. I want a DVD player, but I refuse to buy it without the advice/approval of said friend. In high school, I...

Not the standard 4th book, but close...

Thu, 22 Mar 2001 06:27:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - I'll be honest: I'm not reading V.C. Andrews for deep, brilliant plots. Oh, no. I'm well aware that most of the many series' follow basically the same pattern.

The story of Rain, however, hasn't been following patterns for very long and...

It's clever, but that doesn't mean it's good...

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 06:19:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - Something goes wrong half-way through "Seinfeld set to music." The first half is clever, funny junk about dating. Then, the shifting characters get married and...well, that's where the change comes in.

Maybe I'm too young. Still, the...

Dick Cavett gave me the finger!

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 04:35:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - It's all in the participation, kids. That's obvious from the moment Dick Cavett starts complaining about people asking where his neck is.

I was reluctant to see the live production at first. Mostly because my best friend and I both...

TLK and B&B's little sister

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 04:03:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - If I could buy a winter holiday gift for all the shows on Broadway, I'd give the cast of "Aida" enunciation lessons. There are some fine gems hidden amongst the lyrics, my favorite of which being, "A woman whom I hardly know at all and will...

It's no day at the beach...

Sat, 2 Dec 2000 20:00:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - As my review suggests, I am not a true fan of Jekyll and Hyde. On my last trip to NYC, I found the casting of David Hasselhoff as the title characters to be an unending source of amusement. There were the TV ads(it's no day at the beach), the...

A Virgin's Guide to Getting Toucha-toucha-touched by RHPS

Fri, 1 Dec 2000 02:35:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - Ahh, even though this review will probably be read by RHPS fans young and old, I've decided that the virgins need a guide. Not of what entirely to expect because that would completely ruin the fun of everyone who's paid his or her dues...

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch

Tue, 28 Nov 2000 12:18:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - This is one of those movies that left me wondering why I didn't walk out. And realizing that somewhere, deep in my heart that was ready to shrink a few more sizes as the movie progressed, I was hoping it would get better. It didn't.

Better than Denny's

Sat, 28 Oct 2000 21:17:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - Most people would say that a generally small, orange and brown tiled eating establishment filled with truckers and other such rogues is not a quality restaurant. Most people would say that being open at 4 am and serving breakfast constantly isn't a...

HP CD-Writer Plus 9300i Series: Mix tapes the Next Generation

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 12:25:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - I am one of the chosen ones now. I am one of the ones who can take the 800+ MP3s happily sitting in my hard drive(they're all public domain, I swear! Or they're songs from my band. We remake a lot of great songs. We sound almost exactly like the...

"Hit me with a hammer, drop me in the dumpster"

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 18:47:06 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - You probably laughed at Big Mouth Billy Bass. You probably thought he was clever and mildly entertaining. You probably had him sing "Take me to the river" and "Don't Worry, Be Happy" at least three times.

If this...

Nintendo VirtualBoy: Somebody's been a bad Boy...

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 17:42:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - Anyone who doesn't remember the Virtual Boy is a lucky person. Anyone who remembers it but never came into contact with it is even luckier.

Being one of those idiots who will try anything with a control dangling from it in the toy...

Nintendo Super NES: Nintendo's Best

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 17:06:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - I feel so old right now...how is the SNES a classic game console? As if it wasn't bad enough to see Blockbuster and other video stores scrape away the SNES and Genesis rentals to replace them with an army of Playstation games and the scant N64 games...

Paramount of Ruin

Sun, 24 Sep 2000 22:26:28 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - I remember Paramount's Kings Dominion back when it was just Kings Dominion. Then there was the Haunted Boat Ride, Smurf Mountain, one of those carnival style rides where you get plastered against the walls, and blue smurf ice cream cones. All gone...

Hercules! Hercules!

Mon, 4 Sep 2000 05:02:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - Let me start by saying that I'm fairly interested in Greek mythology. To the point where the movie was painful. But I decided to watch the show anyway, just out of bitter curiosity. And because I'd enjoy a half hour of yelling at the...

Still remember the theme song...

Mon, 4 Sep 2000 04:49:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - I remember when they still came out with new episodes...and it was basically required watching. Ahh, precious childhood memories. Well, to a point...

Thinking back now, it's amazing the small scale accuracy. Sure, I hated the...

The Eyes Have It

Mon, 4 Sep 2000 04:10:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - It's almost frightening at times to think of how much Stephen King has written...and, looking back, I can only think of two really great books. No offense to the major King-fans, but the bulk of his books are things you read because, well, everyone's...

Seize the book

Mon, 4 Sep 2000 03:49:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - Only Terry Pratchett is brilliant enough to create gothic vampires. Still, what can you expect from the man who gave Death an identity crisis or two?

But what is a gothic vampire, you ask? Well, these young vampires today...they're...

Wrong effect

Sun, 3 Sep 2000 20:07:22 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - I grabbed two of these(in a lilac-ish color and a brown)at about the same time I got their cousin the stick version in a light purple shade.

I'm not really a fan. Maybe it's my skin or my lack of adventure, but the results were just a...

Praise Ford and pass the soma

Mon, 21 Aug 2000 05:23:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - I stumbled across this book on the family bookshelf after some of the other kids in English class did a book report on it. I figured I might as well try it. I had managed to read at least half of 1984 after all.

If you've read...

I'm probably a bad person for thinking this..

Fri, 11 Aug 2000 05:19:14 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - I think I'm too young for the Jetsons. I'd watch it when I was growing up mostly because when you're that magical age, you'd watch anything if it was animated. You'd watch the Republican National Convention if they made it into a cartoon and played...

Sugar, Spice, and Chemical X

Fri, 11 Aug 2000 05:05:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - Finally. A decent super-hero show for girls.

Back in my day, we had things like Lady Lovelylocks, where the title character had to fight such evils as bad hair and you could tell Lady Ravenwaves was evil because she had--gasp!--black...

Death to the Runt

Fri, 11 Aug 2000 04:29:42 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - In my generation, I don't think there is any cartoon character more hated than Scrappy-Doo. Every "Are you an 80's child" forward I've ever received involves slap bracelets, puffy paint, and hating Scrappy-Doo. I have discussed ways...

We lost Pirates of Dark Water for this?

Fri, 11 Aug 2000 03:52:40 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - Once upon a time, Cartoon Network used to show old 80's cartoons from that by-gone decade when there were things with decent plots and subtler attempts to sell toys. One such offering was Pirates of Dark Water. Which has now gone to cartoon heaven...

Bill Gates treats us better...

Wed, 12 Jul 2000 04:20:03 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lovely_zelda - I have never liked AOL. And, sadly, there seems to be no hope of it dying any time soon. For awhile I simply disliked it because it was designed for sub-morons to an almost agonizing point--then marketed as God's gift to your computer because now...
