"I suggest new leadership is needed."

Fri, 23 Mar 2001 11:37:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - My review of this action figure must be two-fold to be totally accurate. First, I will discuss this figure in the context of a "collectible" purchased by an adult collector of Star Wars toys. Second, I will discuss the play value of this toy as if I...

Renaissance of Youth

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - A story... when I was young(er), I loved Peter Pan's flight SO much, that I made my father wait on line with me for HOURS at a time. Our record number of "flights" for one day was 5. It would have been four, but the cast member working that attraction...

More 'boat!

Fri, 26 Jan 2001 11:26:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - My sister lived in Steamboat for a few years, so in 1998, my mother, cousin and I went out to see her just after Christmas. Once there, you never want to leave.

The airport outside of Steamboat, while conveniently close, is small and very...

I've been converted.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - I'll have you know that before last Saturday, November 25, I was neither a fan of musicals or Rocky Horror. I now may consider myself nearly obsessed with the latter, and far more understanding of the former.

I had seen Rocky Horror...

Great... for what it really is.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - If you are expecting a live action version of the famed cartoon adaptation of the doctor's classic tale, then this is not the movie for you to see. For those of us who never really got into the book or the cartoon, this was a fine film with many...

Why do you keep on doing this?

Tue, 17 Oct 2000 13:22:29 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - As someone who plays with toys at inappropriate times and more often than I should, as well as a boy who loves X-men and saw the movie 4 times, I really was looking forward to owning this action figure. Once I did, I thought that I too could re-enact my...

Mohegan Sun, so easy to get to, Mohegan Sun. Well, when I turned 21, I went to Foxwoods REsort and Casino on the lovely Pequot reservation in southern Connecticut. My first reaction was...

Old theme, new angle and approach, Burton style.

Wed, 4 Oct 2000 15:59:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - In this, one of Tim Burton's best known films, Johnny Depp portrays a man who was created by an elderly inventor and given scissors for hands.

Burton has a signature film making style and that comes through here in spades. You can not watch...

The best in didgeridoo, boomerang, kangaroo, air travel.

Wed, 4 Oct 2000 13:59:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - I love Australia. I would live there if it weren't 2,000,384,283 miles away from where I live now. However, that 2,000,384,283 miles feels like 2,000,384,281 when you fly with Qantas.

The flight attendants were super-friendly, chatty and...

Great for weather news as well as adult lullaby of sorts.

Wed, 4 Oct 2000 13:31:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - An entire channel devoted to, and all about WEATHER. Gone are the days when you needed to actually look outside to see what the weather was doing. We now have a 24-7 channel that talks about, reports and speculates on weather all over the country (and...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - Here's my ALITALIA experience. It was three years ago, I was going to Italy with my Grandmother to see family. We arrived at JFK airport with plenty of time to board our flight and get a quick bite to eat. The flight was scheduled to leave New...

High school all over again... but with a twist.

Fri, 29 Sep 2000 18:18:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - After having just graduated from Manhattanville, I'll tell you what you should know. First of all, if you had a poor high-school experience, or just want to hang onto those last four years a bit longer, then this is the place for you. But like...

New day, new life, new music.

Fri, 29 Sep 2000 17:46:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - She never ceases to amaze me. Wynonna has incorporated so many different genres of music into this album. She's not just country anymore. She's folk, she's rock and she's soul. The song called "Help Me" is an old Joni Mitchell track that...

Give me back First Federal

Fri, 29 Sep 2000 17:09:06 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - Webster bank is neither simpler nor better. They charge you a "fee" or a "service charge" every time you breath or turn around. In my town, First Federal was taken over by the faceless mask of Webster Bank a few years ago. Many...

Michael comes back and gets a little rowdy.

Fri, 29 Sep 2000 13:02:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - Although there are several things wrong with this film as a chapter of the Halloween series, I will begin by talking about what was right with it for a change.

Laurie Strode has been hiding and running from her psychotic brother her...

Relive the night HE came home!

Fri, 29 Sep 2000 11:57:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - I am an action figure collector (McFarlane toys being my favorite), and the Halloween movies are my favorite horror series. Todd McFarlane has painstakingly crafted a likeness of Michael Meyers in this (albeit plastic) work of art. The sculptors...

Madonna: Madonna eats American Pie

Fri, 29 Sep 2000 10:44:50 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - Madonna... aside from being a mother of (two is it now?), has managed to maintain a career and somehow become of British descent.

In this, a really horrifying take on Don McLean's classic song, Madonna has managed to technofy and...

Better live than recorded!

Thu, 28 Sep 2000 16:47:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - I bought this album because I think the Judds are fantastic, dynamic women with a positive, life-affirming message. Their country roots have grown and have encompassed many genres of music into their songs. This album in particular showcases the...

Unbelievable Imagery. Sad, scary story

Thu, 28 Sep 2000 11:19:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nate78 - This film, is worth seeing more than once simply for its tons of visual candy. Beyond that, you have a film that does what it set out to do. Lopez delivers a more than stellar performance as a psychiatrist type person attempting to aid a small...
