Stepford Wives: Still Thought-Provoking AND Creepy!

Mon, 31 Jul 2000 16:43:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - Cookin'.

Cleanin'.

Lovin'.

You can get it all in Stepford, Connecticut. If you are a man. If you are a woman; your days may be numbered.

I just saw this movie last night on AMC. Oh man, what a thrill! The last time I saw...

Beware of Mega, Advanced and Deluxe All In The Same Sentence

Wed, 19 Jul 2000 14:47:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - Three cats. Three cats. Three cats produce a lot of biological waste. I have tried reasoning with them. I say, "Perhaps you babies should eat less?", "Perhaps you babies should eat only dry food?" and "Babies, you are not earning...

Wendy's: Bacon, Cheese and Vegetables! Oh Joy!

Mon, 17 Jul 2000 15:17:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - How so do I love Wendy's? Let me count the ways...

Wendy's is great place to pick up a delicious bite to eat; on the quick and on the cheap. Wendy's also has many many choices to choose from: hamburgers, cheeseburgers, speciality sandwiches,...

Ground Control for Windows: Should Have Came With A Can Of Raid!

Mon, 10 Jul 2000 18:00:58 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - Well, I think you can easily guess what I think of this game by my title of this review. This is yet another one of those games, that has so much potential, but does not deliver; at least for me. It's also one of those, that when you invest X number of...

Unreal Tournament for Windows: Best Game I've Ever Played

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 10:59:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - If you think the title of my review is a hyperbole.

Think again.

I am 33; that makes me old enough to have played a very large amount of video games. Unreal Tournament is simply, the best game ever made. It kicks aside, my reigning...

Tue, 13 Jun 2000 14:03:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - Do you like singer-songwriters?

Think that Lester Bangs was wrong?

Like Jewel? Tracy Chapman? Sara?

Well, sidle on up to your local record store, or even CDNOW and get "Hits" by Joni Mitchell. Mitchell is the spiritual...

Wed, 7 Jun 2000 14:14:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - Contrary to popular, or should I say layman, belief; there are many safe, secure and fun shopping sites online. One of these just happens to be outpost.com.

While "outpost.com" (OP) is technically new, it has been known for years as...

Flowers In The Dirt by Paul McCartney: I Got This CD The Day It Came Out

Tue, 6 Jun 2000 13:11:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - Well, I'm listening to this album now, too.

This album came out 6/6/89. That day I bought this CD and a new (and expensive) CD boombox just so I could play this album. It was well worth it.

Coming off a bomb, "Press To...

Ram by Paul McCartney: Awesome. Simply Great.

Tue, 6 Jun 2000 12:31:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - Hi folks!

Once again, I am listening to the album while I review it.

This album came out in 1971, in the middle of the heated "war" between McCartney and Lennon's solo efforts in which they assassinated each other.

Press To Play by Paul McCartney: I'm Listening To It Right Now!

Tue, 6 Jun 2000 11:43:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - Hey, I am listening to McCartney's "Press To Play" right now.

This fact should clue you in to how much I like this 14 year old album. Ahhh. My sophomore year in college. Uh, ahem.

Anywho, PTP was a critical and commercial...

Winfire FreeDSL: Think People!

Thu, 1 Jun 2000 13:40:30 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - Update

Hey! Well, WinFire is finally ramping it up! It's available in my local metro (Boston) area. The deals are the same. The free service they offer, is roughly 2.5x fast as a 56k modem. But it is free.

But!...

Battlefield Earth: Uggnnnnhhhh!

Fri, 26 May 2000 15:11:02 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - Let me just state my biases:

1. I love SF. Also, I think the Science vs Fiction debate in SF is silly.

2. I pretty much can go for anything in Sci-Fi.

3. I don't like L. Ron Hubbard. I think he was a hack and a charlatan.

But...

Creative Technology Nomad (32 MB) MP3 Player (5000001124): Why Buy Anything Else?

Tue, 16 May 2000 12:55:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - I have spent the past few weeks reading epinions.com and cnet.com for opinions about mp3 players. It's a very large catagory, even though all the players do something very similar. For example, on epinions the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. On...

Applebee's: Maybe It's Just My Local Applebee's?

Thu, 11 May 2000 11:02:15 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - Well, it looks like I will go against the grain with this review. Applebee's is not a great place to eat. Really. When Applebee's first came to the southern New England area in 1991 or so I was very excited. They had a great commercial, "You belong...

Computer Games Strategy Plus Magazine: Chock Full Of Good Stuff!

Wed, 10 May 2000 12:40:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - This magazine came to via my wife. She got me a subscription through work. At first, I was disappointed, because, it wasn't as zippy as the other gamer mags; but I gave it a shot and read it through.

Boy, I was surprised. The game reviews were...

XDrive: Free! Worth It's Price!

Wed, 10 May 2000 12:01:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - Have you ever?

1. Wanted to transfer files between home and office, or school and home?

2. Wanted to keep some programs, but not at the expense of disk space?

3. Been meaning to get a Zip-Drive, but haven't?

If you can...

K6-2, 500 MHz (MPN-AMD-K-2/500BOX) Processor: Performance and Price!

Wed, 3 May 2000 11:10:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - AMD is great! Throw off the shackles of Intel! Get yourself a K6-2, K6-3 or a Althon. You won't be sorry.

If you have read any of my other reviews, price vs. performance is always something I try to address.

When I got into the IBM...

Philips 107S: Nice Monitor!

Wed, 3 May 2000 10:36:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - If you are tired of squinting at your 15 inch monitor, you may be considering a move up. 17 and 19 inch are logical steps up. 19 inch monitors are wonderful, but also pricey. 17 inch monitors are very reasonable.

This is what I was facing last...

Subway: We Called It Scrubway

Tue, 2 May 2000 17:43:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - Please don't let this title misguide you, Subway has fresh food. I worked for Subway for two years at two locations. Therefore, I feel a little bit qualified to give a review. Hey, a little history, during this time I was also working at Little Caesar's...

Little Caesars Pizza: Pretty Good!

Mon, 1 May 2000 16:30:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - Everyone loves their local pizza place. Most of the time it's probably a family place. Sometimes it can be a chain. Rating pizzas are like anything else, that is, subject to particular tastes and experiences. I can only generate an opinion the same way,...

Blue Mountain Arts eCards: It's The Best! That's It!

Fri, 28 Apr 2000 12:02:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - I have been using Blue Mountain Arts eCards for over 2 years.

I believe that this has been responsible for the biggest increase in civility since the 1978 Egypt-Israel peace accord at Camp David.

Okay, okay. That rating is a bit of...

At the beginning of last year, I decided that we needed a new car. Now, at the time, I had a 1989 Hyundai Excel and my wife had a 1986...

Epson Stylus Color 640 InkJet Printer: Nice Printer

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 15:07:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author radio1_mike - Before buying this printer in September of 1998, I owned a Canon BJC-200e and Panasonic KXP-1126. So as you may surmise, this printer was a step up for me.

It can print up 1440x720 in color mode, and 600dpi in text mode. The printer cartridges...
