Sure don't look like twins

Sat, 8 Apr 2000 18:42:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - The debut album Solar Twins, but two artists that look as much like twins as Bart Simpson and Jennifer Lopez do. They even have different last names. Oh well, the music is pretty good.

I first heard a Solar Twins song when...

Clannad: Enya Fans, try this Group!

Fri, 7 Apr 2000 10:49:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - For those of you who love Enya, but just can't wait for the next album to come out... of it you just like sort of dreamy, 'New Age' music with great voices and an Irish touch, you should give Clannad a try. This band is a prolific group and has...

Crash Test Dummies: Surviving the Crash

Wed, 5 Apr 2000 05:08:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - I am a struggling Crash Test Dummies Fan. They have some really great songs/albums... and some real duds. Their big break album was the critically acclaimed 'God Shuffled his Feet' album with their big hit, 'MMM MMM MMM MMM'. This album, as well as...

Creepy Catholic fun

Tue, 4 Apr 2000 04:06:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - After reading some of the complaints about Stigmata, it occurs to me some people still insist on taking movies too seriously. This is a movie... a fictional depiction of possession, the catholic church and the muddy line that divides religious...

Gardening Bible for the Western US

Tue, 4 Apr 2000 02:44:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - There are lots of gardening 'how-to' books out there, along with books about what plants grow where, what they look like and so on. But this book is, by far, the most useful single book you can buy if you live in the Western US. I don't know if...

Best Vampire movie ever

Sat, 25 Mar 2000 04:44:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - I saw this movie because I see all vampire movies I can get my hands on. Surprisingly this one ended up being a very entertaining, well written and acted clever movie with everything one would hope to see in a vampire movie. It has plenty of the...

We come in peace- hah!

Sat, 25 Mar 2000 03:49:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - We saw this movie the first time in the theatre not having heard a thing about it, but assuming it was a spoof on Independence Day, which was a big hit not that long before. And we had a blast, laughing hard enough to choke on popcorn, spill soda and...

Got a smile from the crocodile

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 18:10:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - I missed this one at the movies, mostly because WHOOOSH, it came, and left in about a week. That told me right there it was probably a dud. But then it's a top 10 video rental. So I rented it (I would have rented in anyway since I see all horror...

A devil of a book to wade through

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 04:12:48 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - I know Anne Rice is incredibly popular, and to say one of her books is not that great is almost sacrilege... especially a book about religious beliefs, but it really was a tough book to get through. Though supposedly part of the Vampire Lestat series,...

Best of the Lestat stories

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 03:42:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - The Body Thief is really the 3rd in the Lestat Series (with Interview of a Vampire sort of the prologue book), following the Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned.

I barely made it to this book. Not being a great reader, a book has to...

The Vampire Extrodonaire

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 03:10:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - By this point in the vampire series by Anne Rice, I was totally hooked. Having just read Interview with a Vampire, in which Lestat was pretty much portrayed as the bad boy and Lewis the interesting one, I was a little hesitant to then read about this...

Ditto on most people's opinion of Dido

Thu, 23 Mar 2000 01:47:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - I seems the general consensus with Epinion listeners is this is a pretty darn great debut album. And they're right. I have little to add, actually, but will go on anyway with why I like her debut album so much.

Though it's not really...

Great car even in the twighlight years

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 04:04:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - I didn't buy my Acura Integra used, but it's really, really used by now. In an age when most people don't keep their cars more 2-3 years, mine is hanging in there for it's thirteenth. I hope you will forgive my comparing it to a pet... maybe a cat,...

Their OTHER better album is really what I'm reviewing here

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 03:09:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - I will start out saying 1) I am not a big Manhattan Transfer fan and 2), I am NOT reviewing the album, Best of Manhattan Transfer... so if that's not what you want to hear, you don't have to read on. But if you DO want to hear some really incredible...

Science fiction candy for your eyes

Tue, 21 Mar 2000 05:04:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - OK, if you like classy movies with clever stories, excellent dialogue, meaningful relationships and Oscar-level actors... you might still like this anyway. It's got all the elements of a fun movie- high tech special effects, a 3 dimensional floating car...

Cold Blooded fun for all

Mon, 20 Mar 2000 19:19:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - As a veterinarian with a special interest in reptiles, this magazine is a must-have item. I have been a subscriber since the very first issue (January 1995?)and have read every issue since. I have yet to be disappointed in an issue yet. It is a great...

Bad name, OK magazine- a veterinarian's perspective

Mon, 20 Mar 2000 18:53:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - I hate the name Cat Fancy. Sounds like a journal for older women drinking tea on their verandas, or for people who unscrupulously breed thousands of cats with all sorts of bizarre and twisted congenital deformities. Actually, for a pet magazine, it's a...

Why wait til tomorrow when you can eat Todai?

Sun, 19 Mar 2000 22:25:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - Todai is a Los Angeles chain of Japanese buffet restaurants. I have only eaten at the Santa Monica, Woodland Hills and Studio City restaurants- all are excellent... a sushi-lovers dream. But they don't just have sushi- the selections are excellent-...

Good all the way to Pluto.. and back

Sun, 19 Mar 2000 08:32:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - Though not a fan of every single thing she's ever done (Boys for Pele, most notably), Tori Amos has got to be one of the most talented singer, songwriter, pianists in the business today. She has a voice with unbelievable range, depth, and clarity, and a...

Orzibal flies solo and soars

Sun, 19 Mar 2000 07:43:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - Wow, can't believe I get to be the first to say something about this album... guess there aren't as many Tears for Fears nuts out there as I thought there would be... or maybe having been out for nearly 10 years has something to do with it?

...

Good show, Good album

Sun, 19 Mar 2000 07:27:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - Ok, I'm in my 40s (won't say how in) and I admit I watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer regularly. It's a pretty well written show, entertaining and funny, even if it is mostly for people without careers or much college experience yet. The music on the show...

Everything but the music

Sun, 19 Mar 2000 07:13:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - I tend to 'discover' groups long after they've been around for a while, mostly because I find it difficult to keep up with what's out there (most radio stations are too mainstream to be of any help), so when I finally discovered Everything but the Girl...

Don't throw out the Garbage

Sat, 18 Mar 2000 05:11:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - I bought this album because I had the previous one, and it was a most pleasant surprise. But I was not prepared for the quality and greatness of this album. Without a doubt, this was the best music written and performed in 1998. There are very few CDs...

Mirror-bore

Sat, 18 Mar 2000 04:41:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - Sarah Mclachlan writes and sings some of the most beautiful music there is, as can be verified by all who listen to her albums Solace, Touch, Surfacing, and her best, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. Not everything she writes is great... but who can write...

Pets Part of the Family: Pets- Fluff for the Family

Sat, 18 Mar 2000 03:45:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author palm-doc - As a veterinarian, I often get sent a variety of pet-related advertisements, products and literature to look over, obviously with the manufacturer/writers hoping I will buy something from them. Currently our hospital is on the mailing list for this...
