American Beauty - a beautiful american film

Sat, 10 Jun 2000 18:34:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - Over the past few years, many critically acclaimed films, such as "The English Patients," didn't appeal to the general audience, and particularly not to me. When I first went to see "American Beauty," I was expecting

another such...

Everquest - your 2nd life

Sat, 10 Jun 2000 12:04:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - I bought Everquest just out of curiosity, wondering what a game that allows thousands of players to interact in real time was like. My curiosity soon turned into passion, and the game is now taking part a large part of my life (sadly!). The immense world...

Half-Life For Windows, Mac: The best game mod ever

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 22:45:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - This is by far the best game mod ever. Period. And I am not just talking about Half-Life - if we take into account all games ever made, this would still be considered the best game mod. Using the great Half-Life engine, you are put in the position of...

Team Fortress 2: Brotherhood of Arms: The Quake III and Unreal killer

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 19:29:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - Team Fortress II is the Half-Life mod everyone is waiting for. The first Team Fortress was immensly popular, and surpassed many people's expectations, and even beliefs of what could be done with the Half-Life engine, but this will surely be much better...

A unique, humorous show

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 23:17:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - I was intrigued by what I heard about this show, so I decided to watch it, as I did tonight. The first thing I have to say is that it is very unique and original. Kind of a sitcom, but not aiming to be. You have to see it really, it's somewhat difficult...

THE sound card to have

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 17:12:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - For the past 5 years or so, the only sound cards I ever bought were Sound Blaster ones from Creative Labs, and there is a reason for my actions. That company just makes the best sound cards on the market, and they are always on the cutting edge of...

Not just a good documentary - a good movie too!

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 17:04:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - I really didn't want to watch this movie at first. I mean, a documentary about a composer, how good can that be? I was dead wrong. Plain and simple, it was an excellent film. Mozart's life is shown through his competitor, Salier's eyes. Salieri was the...

A great stress reliever

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 13:57:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - Midtown Madness is definitely a great stress reliever. Basically, you get to drive around a very realistic downtown Chicago, doing anything you want! You can speed, ram other cars, drive on the grass - anything! Well, one thing you can't do is kill...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: It's all that you need, and cheap!

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 13:42:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - Although this particular Vodoo 2000 card isn't the top of the line today, it's more than enough, even for the newest 3D games. I played both Unreal Tournament and Quake III with this card, and the games run smoothly even in high resolutions. Although I...

The World's corniest

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 13:18:55 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - I've watched this show three times maybe (and that's three times too many), and I've yet to see anything that's funny, not to mention on the "world" scale. The clips are all pretty much stupid. The show somewhat tries to imitate "World's...

Wow! A non-stereotypic show

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 12:54:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - I was greatly surprised when I watched an episode of this new NBC show. I was expecting another run of the mill sitcom, that pretends to be different from others, but really isn't, and will probably go off the air in a year or so. Freaks and Geeks isn't...

An ok show that's getting worse and worse

Mon, 10 Jan 2000 13:49:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - During its first season, Sabrina was an ok show. I mean, if you absolutely had nothing better to do on a Friday evening, you could watch this and be relatively happy. The idea of a teenager being a witch makes for an interesting concept, but the script...

Almost as good as SNL... sometimes better

Mon, 10 Jan 2000 13:38:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - MAD magazine is the best humor magazine out there, and now MAD TV is on its way to being the best humor TV show on the air. It still has a little bit to go, as Saturday Night Live, with twenty fives years of experience and a much bigger budget, is for...

Unrealistic, idealistic, not worth your time show

Mon, 10 Jan 2000 13:22:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - I don't know how this show still airs sometimes on TV. It should have been over years ago. I remember watching it on TGIF a while ago, and in its first few seasons it was ok, but it has just gotten worse and worse. The world presented in the series is...

Little kids shouldn't be watching TV

Mon, 10 Jan 2000 00:46:00 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - I think the whole idea behind a TV show for tiny kids, babies still really, is awful. Come on, TV industry, don't you already have enough middle schoolers, teenagers, and adults to prey on? Aren't you getting enough money already, or do you have to get...

Dumb, but fun and humorous

Mon, 10 Jan 2000 00:25:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - This is one of those modern action movies, with good actors and lots of shooting and explosions, but without much sensible plot. However, in my opinion it does distinguish itself from a lot of others of its type that are out on the market these days...

An actually good sitcom?

Sun, 9 Jan 2000 23:00:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - I was a bit skeptical, as I am with most things, as I sat down to watch the premier episode of this new series. In fact, I wasn't planning on watching it at all, but being bombared by hundreds of commercials by FOX, and having just finished watching a...

Daring, but hilarious

Fri, 7 Jan 2000 22:19:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - South Park is certainly one of those "nineties" movies which defy traditional moral and even movie values, by going above and beyond in obscenity and crude humor... which isn't necessarily bad. In fact, the movie essentially makes fun of...

Simpsons, The: The best animated series

Wed, 5 Jan 2000 18:22:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - When I was younger, I watched a few episodes of the Simpsons and found them to be stupid, but in the past year, I started watching lots of reruns out of curiosity, and I am greatly surprised. The show is meant much more for adults than for kids. Most of...

Professional Quality at a low price!

Mon, 3 Jan 2000 16:44:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - When I went into Target a few weeks ago, I didn't have buying a scanner in mind at all. However, as I was walking through the store, I passed by a section with various scanners, and took a look at the prices. Under $100? I thought... they must be really...

Microsoft Windows 2000 Beta: Cautiously optimistic

Thu, 23 Dec 1999 15:19:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - I am cautiously optimistic about this new version of Windows. I have been playing around with the Beta version for quite a while now, and the most remarkable thing is that I think it only crashed on me once! That is truly astounding, considering its...

Terminator 2 - my favorite film

Sun, 5 Dec 1999 22:13:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - Terminator 2 is my favorite movie of all time. I have seen it at least a dozen times, yet I never tire of it. In fact, the last time I saw it was at my college's community center two nights ago, when it was shown before 2 and 4 a.m. - it was well worth...

Myst - the first real CD game

Sun, 5 Dec 1999 19:43:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - Even though it came out years ago, and its technology is now old news, Myst still makes headlines and is by far the best selling computer game. It's no wonder. Even if the game came out today, it would still be somewhat popular. All the graphics, except...

It's all in "Back that Azz up"

Sun, 5 Dec 1999 04:25:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - Juvenile is a truly original and promising upstart in the rap music industry, and if their future albums are as good as this one, they are bound to become very popular and surely earn lots of awards, and what perhaps is more important - respect from the...

Dialpad: Dialpad - 0 cents a minute, anywhere in the US

Sun, 5 Dec 1999 03:05:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mikolaj - Dialpad is the greatest thing that ever came in communications. In two words: free phonecalls! All you need is a microphone and speakers, and you're on your way to calling all your friends and relatives for absolutely nothing at all. It's easy, fast, and...
