Strange Music?

Sat, 22 Oct 2005 04:40:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - The second novel from writer, composer, musician, and all-around genius guy Rupert Holmes, "Swing" is a trip into the past. A fictional story wrapped around actual historical events. Not only do you learn about swing music, the 1940's, the Golden Gate...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - Who doesn't know the story of the Wizard of Oz? Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion. But what about the Wicked Witch of the West? Was she really as wicked as everyone made her out to be? If she were, how did she get that way?...

It was good...but it wasn't

Sun, 13 Apr 2003 20:19:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - I have a very hard time giving a bad review for Rockapella, so I can't give it a low rating, but I can't give it a high rating, as much as I'd like to, so I'll simply have to settle with 'It was good, but it wasn't.' Trust me, this review hurts to write...

This album has me Smilin'

Sun, 13 Apr 2003 20:11:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - I anxiously anticipate any new CD from 'da Boyz' of Rockapella, but I feel like I've been waiting next to forever for this one. Luckily, it is SO worth the wait.

Shambala - My first reaction upon hearing this song was, "Thou Shalt Not Mess...

Broadway New York Online Store: The Best of Broadway At Your Fingertips

Thu, 17 Jan 2002 03:50:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - In the past, whenever you wanted to get a souvenir or program from a Broadway show, you actually had to *attend* said show, or beg a friend to pick you up something if they were getting to go. You've gotta love the internet...now you can stay home...

Instruments are pointless, you know....

Wed, 15 Aug 2001 01:35:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - If you've ever been fortunate enough to see Rockapella live, you've probably witnessed five guys creating music in such a way you'd never be able to explain the experience to outsiders. Anyone else who'd listened to their CD's would swear to you that...

Block Financial Kiplinger Tax Cut: I'm surprised it didn't come with Valium

Mon, 12 Mar 2001 06:26:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - I understood this tax program had its share of glitches last year, but to be honest, this year I didn't have a single problem getting things filled in and understanding what I needed to do. Note, I'm not saying I had a ball doing my taxes, I have yet to...

Handy AND Dandy!

Thu, 1 Mar 2001 05:16:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - I'd wanted one of these little stick blenders for a long time. I remember when they first came on the scene...you could only get them through infomercials and you'd have to pay a small fortune for them, but they just looked so *handy*. I'm glad I...

I really needed this movie

Sun, 25 Feb 2001 05:11:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - Okay, you got me. I admit it...I'm a complete romantic sap. Within reason, though. I will confess to liking "Titanic", but absolutely loathed "My Best Friend's Wedding". It just depends on how the plot and I get along that day.

I remember...

Confessions of a groupie

Wed, 31 Jan 2001 03:02:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - Heavens...where does a person start? I've been putting off writing this epinion for ages, mainly because it's hard coming up with words fluid enough to describe Rupert Holmes. Yes, he's mainly known as the person that penned "Escape (The Pina Colada...

I've been sucked in...

Sun, 3 Dec 2000 01:36:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter. I thought at one point if I never heard that name again, my life would not have been lived in vain. Everywhere I turned there were the books, posters, games, and companion books to the actual books which...

Just shy of pitiful if you really care

Sun, 26 Nov 2000 00:35:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - I think this is the first Oil of Olay product I've ever had ambivalent feelings about. I love the body wash, so when I saw the ads for the daily facials, I got those as soon as they hit the store. It was when I got them home that the problem...

Smooth and silky, then WHAM!

Mon, 13 Nov 2000 04:14:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - Quite frankly, I'm not sure how to rate these things. I keep getting people bragging about Biore products, and that regardless of the overinflated price, I should try them out. So I figured I'd start with the cleansing cloths.

For starters,...

I'm Dreaming Of A Rockapella Christmas...

Tue, 7 Nov 2000 03:49:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - Gosh, I don't think I've made it obvious that I like Rockapella much, huh? Well, if you haven't caught on yet, this should pretty much solidify any doubts you had initially. <g>

Rockapella is no stranger to Christmas music, having...

The Girl Could Kick Your Fanny And You'd Like It!

Tue, 17 Oct 2000 02:39:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - When I first heard Pink's first single "There You Go", I knew I was going to like her. Her hair kind of had me doing a double take, but I think she dyed it that color for just that purpose. True, her video scared me, but I can overlook...

I Don't Look Like I Just Stepped Out Of A Sci-Fi Flick

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 03:19:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - I hate wearing makeup. It's a pain to put on, a pain to take off, and just a general pain to maintain all day. I've managed to get by with just using foundation, blush, a little powder, and lipstick. I refuse to wear mascara because I wear contacts...

From Snarling Pit Bull to Precious Angel In No Time!

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 02:00:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - I wouldn't exactly proclaim Motrin as the miracle drug, but when I've got a serious headache or other aches and pains, I could kiss its creator. Just pucker up and plant one, baby.

Once upon a time, I used to use Tylenol, but I noticed that...

Beautiful! Can you say that about a baseball field?

Mon, 9 Oct 2000 03:56:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - So a friend finally talks me into visiting her in Cleveland. We start talking about what places I'd like to see during my four days there, and I name off the usual Cleveland attractions...the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the art museum, Playhouse Square,...

A Touching Parade

Tue, 19 Sep 2000 02:55:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - I'm having to write this epinion about the cast recording itself and not the show, as the show hasn't come near where I am, so if you're wanting a review of the National Tour, I would recommend checking out www.playbill.com first. Now, on with the...

"So, to make a long story short...too late."

Mon, 4 Sep 2000 03:11:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - Y'know how sometimes you just find yourself latching on to a really stupid movie but you can't help yourself? This is my conundrum regarding the movie "Clue". I'm not even sure I remember the first time I saw it, I just know that after it was...

A Hot Knife Through Butter? Uh...no.

Tue, 29 Aug 2000 03:13:50 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - I needed a good set of knives for my apartment, but didn't have a lot of money to spend. That was mistake number one. I should've just stuffed spare change in an old shoe box until I'd managed to collect enough.

My second mistake was...

Your Eyes Will Thank You

Sat, 26 Aug 2000 22:50:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - I'm blind as a bat. Former roommates can attest to this, as we all wore contacts and while we all wore different brands of soft lenses, you could always tell which ones were mine. Just check the side of the box and gasp at the horribly low number...

Hope Your Carpet's Stapled Down

Sun, 20 Aug 2000 22:48:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - I moved to a new city not too terribly long ago, and left my old vacuum with my sister. One could claim I did it because she needed it, but if you knew me, you'd know I did it because I wanted a new one. There...I just told on myself.

AOL Instant Messenger: How Did I Live Without This??

Sun, 20 Aug 2000 21:45:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - It's not like I don't spend enough time in front of my computer anyway, but I'm rather baffled now as to how I made it without AIM. It's an obsession now...I turn on the computer and I have to know if any of my friends are online. Not necessarily to...

eGroups: What to do with your spare time and obsessions

Thu, 17 Aug 2000 02:53:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author maxell1313 - Whoever came up with the idea for egroups was just asking for it. It's never a wise thing to unleash a forum for anyone and everyone to create a group of whatever thing strikes their fancy. Or maybe, it is a good thing. Obsessed people, unite!
