What happens when you have good looking actors with a mediocre storyline?

Mon, 10 Sep 2001 13:30:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - In retrospective, I get the impression that the purpose of this movie was nothing short of exploiting the popularity of famous acting names, specifically Rebecca DeMornay, Dana Delaney, and Kiefer Sutherland. While these are all recognizable names, they...

Sanyo SCP-5000: This is the future; well, sort of

Fri, 7 Sep 2001 15:14:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - So much has been written and said about this phone, but I will go ahead and put my experiences with this phone into the mess. I have been using this phone since it first came out in August, and overall I'm pleased with it. It's important to bear in...

skymall.com: Consider yourself warned!

Fri, 31 Aug 2001 15:48:19 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - Skymall.com was originally a store that only sold from catalogs, which they primarily placed in the seats of airplanes. Their prices were awful, but they had a very captive audience, and had a good marketing plan. Today, their prices are awful, and...

Wow!!!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - I actually bought my Playstation 2 when I saw this game being played, because I was just blown away by the graphics and realism in this game. When I got home and popped this in, I was amazed by all the different things the cars were capable of, until I...

Good movie, but a little long

Tue, 3 Jul 2001 20:18:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - Although I'm really not into foreign films much, I am a scuba diver, so I thought this would be a good flick to watch. All in all, I wasn't disappointed, but it really wasn't exactly what I was hoping for.

The biggest reason to watch this...

Might just be the best...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - This ride might be compared in some ways to Space Mountain, except with the Aerosmith theme, and their music blaring in your ears the entire time. However, the only way to accurately compare it is to take Space Mountain, put it on steroids, and then add...

I'm an Accountant, and prefer this...

Fri, 1 Jun 2001 14:46:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - I always wondered what the big deal was when it came to taxes, because I always used the standard deduction. It wasn't until I started having to itemize. That's where the beauty of this comes in!

The program starts out in an interview mode...

Amazing picture, but...

Mon, 14 May 2001 03:14:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - When I first hooked up this TV, and watched a TV show through digital cable, I thought the picture was really good, but not that great. Of course, that's in large part due to the limitations of television; when we hooked up the DVD player, my mouth just...

Logitech TrackMan® (904369-0403-EA) Trackball: I bought one for home too!

Thu, 26 Apr 2001 21:33:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - I initially purchased one of these units for work. I fell in love with it so much, that I decided to buy one for home, as well.

In general, the look and feel of the trackball is similar to other trackballs that Logitech has put out before...

Original plot and good special effects

Sat, 14 Apr 2001 13:48:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - For those who haven't seen The Wall, it is as an attack on your senses. The mixture of animation and real life, with the music, make for a disturbing story told in a very original way.

The story itself is about a rock star, Pink (surprise!),...

The only remote in my living room

Fri, 13 Apr 2001 20:51:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - I've gone through more "universal" remotes than I care to mention, and I can honestly say that this is the first one I've ever used that helped me to really put away all my other remotes. Other universal remotes have certain codes built into them, but...

The Coyote could catch this roadrunner...

Fri, 13 Apr 2001 19:59:31 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - This review applies only to San Diego, CA, and specifically to Scripps Ranch.

Unfortunately, if you live in Scripps Ranch you have no other broadband choice than Road Runner (or maybe Sprint ION is finally available, I'm not sure). DSL is not...

There's better out there for cheaper

Thu, 12 Apr 2001 20:33:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - I bought this juicer from Target because I truly love freshly squeezed orange juice, and this was the only one they had in stock that day. I did no research whatsoever on this units, and so anyone doing any research is about three steps ahead of me :)...

Not Worth It

Thu, 12 Apr 2001 16:22:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - I got the Palm VII around a year and a half ago, when my family decided that this was the only toy I didn't have, and bought it as a Christmas gift for me. I wish I had thanked them for it, and returned it, but my curiosity got the best of me, and I...

One of the most under-rated movies

Wed, 11 Apr 2001 15:38:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - When I finished this movie, I found myself thinking about this movie for at least a few days. Since I had a few days left on the rental, I gave it to a friend, and he was equally impressed by this movie, and it sparked some good discussions.

For those who love to drive...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - This is the first BMW I ever bought, and i have to say that I really have never driven a car that is more fun to drive, than this one. The handling is fantastic, and the features that BMW puts into it shows forethought, and anticipates needs.

Among the better

Tue, 3 Apr 2001 16:36:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - When you buy a product like this, what you have to remember is that you can only compare and contrast the product to what is out there, not what you think should be out there. The fact of the matter is that none of the CD jukeboxes out there have the...

Pioneer Elite VSX-26TX: Excellent receiver!

Sat, 31 Mar 2001 12:00:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - When I first bought this receiver and set it up, what struck me as really cool was that everything was laid out so well in the back, and the setups were so easy, that everything actually worked the first time around!

What makes this receiver...

For Grisham Fans

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 22:09:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - This was a fantastic book to read! It is almost impossible not to compare this to a Grisham, book, but I'll only write about what stood out to me.

What really stood out in this book is the comedy. The biting and sarcastic humor of the author...

Samsung SCH 8500 CDMA / AMPS Cellular Phone: Good phone - bad service (Sprint)

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 22:00:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - This phone does everything that most of the high-tech savvy phone users would want. This phone is more limited by current technology than anything else, and the fact that Sprint service is mediocre at best. In fact, the biggest drawback to this phone...

Good - but not great

Tue, 6 Mar 2001 23:28:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - This review is for the Panasonic PV-HS 2000, not the 1000.

This product is an excellent example of a product that was made 90% of the way, and the remainder of the details were ignored. In general, the product works well, but with some very...

Good Stuff

Tue, 6 Mar 2001 23:15:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author poorvesh - This is the type of product that you will either love it, or be disappointed, based solely on your expectations.

Overall, this is a good product. It is among the best out there, but it does have its limitations and frustrations.
