Cirque Du Soleil - Delirium: Cirque du Soleil - Delirium: Deliriously Enthralling

Thu, 27 Apr 2006 21:17:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - Cirque Du Soleil - Delirium is a triumph of sight and sound unrivalled by any performance I've seen, except perhaps by Blue Man Group. While Blue Man group's appeal is primarily the three blue men and the music they create, Delirium is an entire troupe...

Cirque Du Soleil, Creative Masterpiece in Motion

Sat, 22 Apr 2006 18:10:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - Cirque Du Soleil - La Nouba is a tremendous, exhilarating feast for the eyes and ears. From the moment the lights come up and the first characters meander onstage to the last cymbal crash, the assault on your senses continues, almost unabated. The...

At Peace With the Lips

Sat, 22 Apr 2006 17:49:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - The Flaming Lips' latest trek into retro-futurism, At War With The Mystics, is (yet again) a psychadelic trip with luggage. As with previous Lips work, the music combines trance-like soundscapes with musings on the nature of love and morality. Listening...

Maxim Meets Esquire

Mon, 16 Jan 2006 17:04:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - I received a free subscription to Radar magazine, I’m sure in the hopes that once the free part ran out I’d be inclined to continue with the subscription. Or perhaps it is because publishers realize what many website owners are only just now...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - Kensington Screen Guardian premoistened antistatic cleaning wipes are intended for the cleaning of your glass computer monitors and screens. The wipes are non abrasive and contain no wax and are oil free. The wipes are very similar to the average baby...

Davidoff Cool Water - Hot Scent

Sat, 7 Jan 2006 18:47:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - I'm sure that it has to do with pheromones, memory, body chemistry and Cool Water. I tried a new cologne the other day and my girlfriend simply did not like it. We have kind of a long distance relationship, which allows us to be together rather...

3m Photo Mount Spray 10.oz: 3M Photo Mount - Sticks Anything, and Everything

Sat, 7 Jan 2006 18:02:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - As a graphic artist, I've used 3M Photo Mount Spray for years. As a spray glue it does an amazing job of sticking photos and other paper products to many types of surfaces. The ease of use gained from a spray however, is also part of what makes this...

Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer - Clean and Germ Free

Sat, 7 Jan 2006 17:46:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - I work with computers. I also have a thing about my hands feeling greasy or dirty and transferring that to my keyboard or mouse. I guess you could call that a slight case of obsessive compulsiveness. I just don't like the feeling that my fingers are...

Timmy and The Incomprehensible Chocolate Nightmare

Sun, 21 Aug 2005 19:27:41 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - I do not like Tim Burton films I did not have a ball I do not like goofy films I like them not at all I do not like them with big apes I do not like his bats with capes I did not like his Scissored Hands His real big fish I just can't stand...

The Mars Volta Reawakens My Prog Soul

Sun, 14 Aug 2005 17:43:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - Perhaps I'm too deeply influenced by my past experience to listen to new music without making associations. Perhaps that's how life is in general, but when I listen to The Mars Volta's new work, Frances the Mute, I hear so many...

Love and Death in Antarctica

Fri, 22 Jul 2005 11:25:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - Luc Jacquet's documentary, The March of the Penguins is a beautiful and touching film. Following the slow, harrowing experience that Emperor penguins go through each season as they fulfill their instinctual drive to procreate, the film manages to capture...

Logan's Run meets THX meets 1984 meets Coma

Fri, 22 Jul 2005 03:31:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - It's very hard to make an original movie when you are borrowing from so many others that came before. Even your own films. Michael Bay almost gets there, but not quite. I found the film, The Island, to be fun and exciting and interesting enough. I...

Less Than Better

Sun, 3 Jul 2005 21:32:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - Often when I get a new CD, I have to listen to it a few times before I can decide whether or not I actually like it. I tend to be leery of albums that seem to be immediate winners. These tend to be the ones that get listened to for a steady week or two...

Hayao's Moving Masterpiece

Sun, 3 Jul 2005 17:54:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - Sitting through the first few seconds of Howl's Moving Castle, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. Well, to be fair, I didn't even expect it beforehand. Truth is I was worried that my expectations would be too high. They weren't. The latest work from...

Wow

Sun, 3 Jul 2005 02:53:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - When I saw a recent preview for Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds, I immediately got a bad feeling. It came as a flash seen out of the corner of my eye actually. I wasn't paying too close attention to the commercial and thought I saw Tom Cruise...

Wacom Graphire3 (ec130sa) Mouse: A Mouse for the House

Sat, 18 Jun 2005 16:55:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - I purchased the Wacom Graphire3 tablet and along with the tablet and stylus came a mouse. Small, compact and sleek, the slate grey teardrop rests upon the tablet that has now become it's home. I had a mouse, one I liked a lot, but it's now stumbling,...

Finally, the Dark Knight

Sat, 18 Jun 2005 00:45:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - Someone has finally done it right. Someone has finally made the Batman as he should be. I suppose it's a symptom of the maturing of the comic book-to-movie genre that has happened in the years since the first Batman Movie came out. No, not the Adam West...

Truth is...

Sat, 11 Jun 2005 16:58:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - Stranger Than Fiction, Chuck Palahniuk's collection of stories and essays is certainly that. Culled from magazine assignments and essays, this oddly compelling book wanders through a bizarre, sometimes creepy landscape of strange individuals and...

Forgot It

Thu, 23 Sep 2004 12:35:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - The moment I realized that the Forgotten wasn't "the next Sixth Sense" as it has been touted was the same moment I realized that this was going to be a treatise on that myth I love so much; the bond between mother and child. Forgive me while I wallow in...

Chasing Me

Fri, 25 Jun 2004 15:44:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - Sister Hazel's fourth offering is as much about love and loss as the previous three and doesn't fail to deliver the style and skill expected of the Gainesville, Fl quintet. Their polished grassroots rock is, as always, refreshing and fresh, and at the...

The Non-Sequel of Riddick

Fri, 25 Jun 2004 12:53:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - Okay - there will be spoilers, so avert your eyes if you do not wish to be spoiled. First, let me start off by saying that Pitch Black, the first installment, was, in my opinion, an excellent, if quirky sci-fi film. Lots of tension and decent acting,...

Couldn't Bear It

Fri, 25 Jun 2004 11:39:45 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - I had the opportunity to see a sneak preview of Disney's new film, Two Brothers, directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud, the same who had helmed The Bear, a sweet, sad beauty of a film about an orphaned Bear. This latest from him is by far it's inferior. Set...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - Seeing previews for Pirates of the Carribean, I was expecting a badly executed kiddie pirate flick...

A 'True Believers' review of The Lord of the Rings

Thu, 20 Dec 2001 13:22:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author protoguy - I entered the theater with goosebumps.

I left the theater with goosebumps.

I was very impressed and overall, I loved it. I had a lot of problems with changes and additions that didn't seem to have anything to do with length management or...
