Wed, 20 Dec 2000 13:31:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author monkeyhoot - The game I'm playing just cannot be the same one that is getting such high marks and reviews because the game I'm playing is too easy and not much of an adventure.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author monkeyhoot - As I write this, I am on hold, still, with XO. What am I holding for? Someone to tell me why I'm not and have not ever received a bill for the web hosting services (although the money is certainly taken out of my account).

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author monkeyhoot - Bill Murray is sublime as Mr. Blume. His performance subtly shows the very best of "classic" Murray. As he places the beer bottle holding the beer he's just drank in between two stacked towels in the elevator, puts a cigarette in a stubble...
