Still waiting for half our shipment

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - This was my first time using professional movers. It was nice not to have to do any heavy lifting. The driver and helpers were nice, but took forever. We kept asking the driver if he was sure there would be room in the truck for everything. He kept...

I nearly walked out

Mon, 4 Jun 2001 10:52:36 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - I have never wanted to walk out of a movie theater and ask for my money back, but there is always a first time for everything. I can't understand how this movie hit me the wrong way. It has a great cast, completely different music style, which I love...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - I actually have a Nokia 6162i. I have had it for a little less than a year now. Before this I had a Nokia 6160 for almost 2 and half years.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - Weight Watchers does more than help you diet, it helps you learn how to eat right. I lost 20 pounds before joining Weight Watchers. I've lost 15 more since joining and I'm eating a lot healthier and feeling a lot better about myself. But the weight...

You can never go back...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - Yep, you can never go back to the days when you were young and Mickey Mouse was five hundred times your height and the rides went sooooo fast! I tried and had a great time, but it's not the same.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - You ever look over at the plate of the person next to you and wish for a bite or two of what they were having, but where too shy to ask? Family style is the answer!

Everyone shares what's on the table. They put all the food in the middle and...

It keeps you regular

Wed, 20 Sep 2000 11:46:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - Grease, steam and something grey that they call meat on a soggy bun. Oh yeah, give me some of that. NOT!

The burger, if you can actually call it that with a straight face, is a flat rectangular piece of grade F meat, which I assume is beef,...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - I have allergies and I just moved into a new Apartment with a Smoker... I needed to do something about the air quality in my room. I decided it was time for me to invest in an air cleaner.

Best TV for it's size

Tue, 29 Aug 2000 12:08:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - I have this really great entertainment center and I had this cruddy 19" mono Television sitting in it. I decided to try something a little larger and to stop skimping on my electronics.

I went all out and I am very happy with the results...

It's not Mallrats

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - Personally, I loved all of Kevin Smith's previous movies, but I know many people either haven't seen them or find them stupid and worthless. Granted, this is true of most anything that ditz from 90210 has been involved in since "Little House on the...

Bad news, Good laughs

Tue, 16 May 2000 14:08:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - Sunday Night is Fox Night. You've got the Simpsons and Malcom in the Middle followed by X-Files. Personally, I don't watch the X-Files, but I recognize it as a good show.

Living in the New York City Area, I've never had to deal with only...

First stop for News

Tue, 16 May 2000 13:55:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - NBC has got the most trustworthy news casters, in my opinion. They are my first stop for the morning and evening news. Their news stories all have some relevance, or at least more than most stations have.

The "Today Show", which...

Wouldn't be Christmas without Ralphy

Fri, 5 May 2000 16:59:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - I think little Ralphy would have an excellent review of the taste of Lava soap.

This movie is a classic. I believe it's TNT that plays this movie from noon Christmas Eve until 8pm Christmas Day. It's one of those movies I look forward to...

Fri, 5 May 2000 10:02:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - Zero Mostel is hysterical. If you don’t know him, rent this movie. The story is great and the laughs just keep coming.

Zero Mostel plays a slave who will do anything to gain his freedom. He manages to do darn near everything in this 99...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - Heck, how many of you sat through that Titanic movie, and you already knew the end of that one! Make sure you have a comfortable seat, you're going to be there for a while. Yes this movie is long, but well worth it.

It is one big chase...

Can't beat Flame Broiling

Wed, 3 May 2000 11:18:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - Let's face it, if you had a choice between a pan fried burger and a bar-b-qued burger, you'd go for the bar-b-qued burger every time.

I know many of you out there can't wait for the warm weather to break out the grill. I know people who...

Tue, 2 May 2000 18:14:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - My first car purchase was a 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse. I got it used and I was so excited about getting a car that I didn't really research as much as I should have, nor did I really shop around. I went looking at what was in my price range in the area...

Lost Classic

Tue, 2 May 2000 15:24:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mfunke2 - I haven't seen this movie in what must be over 10 years, but the movie title sticks with me and I keep looking for it in Blockbuster. Eventually I'll want it bad enough to track down the one blockbuster that has a copy of it, or buy it from some on-line...
