Double the Arch Hall, Double the Fun

Tue, 12 Nov 2002 01:55:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neffer - Yesterday's guilty pleasure came from watching a newly-purchased DVD from Something Weird Video (now there's a company!). Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you two Arch-Hall-pere-et-fils "classics" Wild Guitar and the Choppers. Coupled with a ton of extras...

My fantasy is to be rich enough to afford this stuff ...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author neffer - Cripes, what a gimmick.

BeneFit’s Fantasy Mint Wash is nothing but four ounces of fluffy, minty, pink … Noxzema. Fantasy Mint Wash does not have the offending Noxzema ingredients of camphor and menthol, but it is very similar to the...

Venice via Brooklyn

Wed, 13 Sep 2000 17:19:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neffer - You live in Manhattan; I live in Brooklyn. You occasionally come to my neck of the woods to see shows at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. You have no idea where to go for dinner. I suggest walking to Park Slope's Fifth Avenue and Carroll Street area...

Casa Arguello: Not your grandmother's casa, but close ...

Wed, 6 Sep 2000 11:28:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neffer - Casa Arguello really lives up to its name. It’s a cozy little Edwardian home turned bed-and-breakfast in a residential area. If you’re looking for cheap, comfortable lodging and you’re not afraid to situate yourself from SF’s tourist hotspots, then...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neffer - "So," my boss Jim said to me one afternoon in late June, "what's on your itinerary when you go out to San Francisco next month?" I filled him in on the generics. He seemed mildly interested until I got to the part about an overnight...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author neffer - Joie de Vivre is a corporation involved in running some trendy San Francisco hotels. When you walk in the Commodore Hotel on 827 Sutter Street (by Jones), you'll see how trendy I mean. Art deco chairs, funky murals and the adjacent hipster bar The Red...

San Francisco's Grant Plaza Hotel: Book early!

Mon, 21 Aug 2000 20:19:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author neffer - A cheap hotel in San Francisco during the summer is a rare species; if you find something under $100 a night in downtown SF, then I tip my hat to you.

I needed to book a room in the city for the last week of July. Since I had waited until the...

Pretty (and pouty and whiny) in pink …

Mon, 3 Jul 2000 13:09:23 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author neffer - I was a member of the target audience for John Hughes' 1986 film Pretty in Pink: a 16-year old who didn't mind spending babysitting earnings on tripe like St. Elmo's Fire and Mr. Mister. So, after spending said babysitting money on this film all those...

A "Vehicle" about "Racing" starring Tom "Cruise." Get it?

Mon, 19 Jun 2000 18:39:29 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author neffer - If you exiled yourself in a shed without modern conveniences during the last 10 years, you would have never seen the upteen reruns of the Tom Cruise vanity project Days of Thunder on the “superstation.” So, here’s a synopsis:

Beyond, indeed ...

Mon, 12 Jun 2000 18:59:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neffer - One of my finest scores at the Tower Records Outlet in San Francisco was a pristine print of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. Those of you expecting Neely O'Hara and the like from Jacqueline Susann's best-seller, stop right now. This is not a sequel to...

Page's Bootlegs: Hey, the Song really does Remain the Same!

Fri, 12 May 2000 14:34:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neffer - Jimmy Page supervised this release of live recordings in 1997. For the serious Zep fan, it may have been for naught: these recordings have been floating around under various bootleg titles for years. However, those who missed the boat when it came to...

The Sweet Sounds of Murder

Fri, 21 Apr 2000 22:33:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neffer - Nick Cave's "concept" album - yes, every artist at one point attempts to create one, despite the risks involved in the task. Some are classics, some are mind-boggling best sellers despite shortcomings and some are career-ending follies. Just...
