Loved it!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neilkoomen - I'll start off by saying this: I enjoyed this movie so much that I wish it was longer!

As has been pointed out elsewhere, this may be the first rock musical where the music really does rock--it's everything David Bowie wished he could be in...

Pretty good flick, but you may find characters depressing

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neilkoomen - I liked the movie, but I'll make it clear that it's no joyride. If you're looking for big laughs and/or a triumphant ending, this isn't the movie for you.

This is a movie about three main characters--two teenage girls and a middle-aged...

Terrific movie!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neilkoomen - Given that there is already tons of info and reviews of this movie on Epinions and elsewhere, I'm going to keep my review short.

The movie is about a very confused character, and the filmmakers do an excellent job of conveying that feeling to...

Timely story of a boom dot bust

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neilkoomen - Having been involved with some startup companies myself, I didn't find this documentary as interesting as I'd hoped.

The gist of the movie: two friends decide to go into business. They have high hopes, a real product, and clients, but despite...

Sennheiser HD 475 Hi-Fi Stereo Headphones: Feels sooooooo good!

Fri, 11 May 2001 14:39:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neilkoomen - In my opinion, these (and similar-looking models such as the HD320 and HD455) are the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn. As a result, I use them more than my somewhat-better sounding Grado SR80's (see my Epinions review).

The Grados...

Great headphones!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neilkoomen - I've had my Grado SR80 headphones for about 5 years, so I've got plenty of experience with this fine product. I go into more detail below, but I'll go ahead and tell you now: these headphones are a bargain and sound great!

Fit and styling:...

Nice sound, but look at other brands too

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neilkoomen - I was able to get these for about $225 a year or two ago from a dealer closing them out in a Dutch auction at Ebay. com. For that price, they're excellent speakers.

Basically, they're the Bose Acoustimass-3 speakers sold at Circuit City and...

Had as rental, was impressed!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neilkoomen - I had a Focus as a rental car on a business trip to Boston for a few days and really liked it a lot. Not quite as much as my '99 Mazda Protege, but I bet I could buy a Focus for less than a Protege, given the huge number of Ford dealers.

I've...

Bought new 5/99, no regrets!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neilkoomen - After owning many used cars (European, Japanese and US, alphabetically from Alfa-Romeo to Volvo) over 20+ years, I decided to get my first new car. Having owned three Mazdas previously, and seeing the Protege recommended highly in "Consumer...
