With all the big names associated with it, it should have been a great movie.

The spine-tingling, hands-over-your-eyes occurrences were too far and far between... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~45179637380 Wed, 31 Oct 2001 20:04:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_45179637380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_30233497220?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mmenke0226 - A.I. is an ambitious attempt by Steven Spielberg to finish what Stanley Kubrick never quite started.

Of course, compared to the Dirt Devil vacuum I've had for six months, and which has been worthless for more than a month now, anything would have been an improvement. (I wrote an opinion... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~19248877188 Mon, 23 Apr 2001 19:21:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_19248877188?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_18646863492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mmenke0226 - "What If God Were the Sun?" is psychic medium John Edward's first attempt at a novel. Those familiar with the author know that he has built a very successful career out of contacting recently deceased loved ones for the bereaved.

I decided to read We Were the Mulvaneys when it was selected as Oprah's Book of the Month in January. Unfortunately, I was not impressed by... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~13118770820 Wed, 14 Mar 2001 15:56:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_13118770820?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_13104549508?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mmenke0226 - Last week, Amy Tan was scheduled to conduct a book signing of The Bonesetter's Daughter at Border's here in St. Louis.

Salinger. As such, it details a childhood of isolation and neglect and is often difficult to read. It is very well written, however, and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1352437380 Sat, 6 Jan 2001 17:59:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/book-review-63FF-314E6DCC-3A57634A-prod2?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/hmgd-review-3980-1DE247CD-3A4904F1-prod4?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mmenke0226 - As one might expect, the reason I bought a new vacuum cleaner a month ago is because my old one "bit the dust!"

Reading Jennifer Lauck's "Blackbird: A Childhood Lost & Found" once again puts things into perspective.
