A Sizzling and Genius Musical

Mon, 18 Jun 2001 23:12:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ron - It's easy to draw conclusions about Moulin Rouge at first glance: It pops with visual effects, boasts a catchy chart-topping song, and stars redheaded boxoffice bombshell Nicole Kidman. For all of these reasons and more, let Moulin Rouge surprise you -...

Takes You There

Mon, 18 Sep 2000 00:36:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ron - This is a movie that made me wish I was born a little earlier. I was born in the early 70's. And up until I saw Almost Famous, I had no desire whatsoever to be part of the generation that came of age in the early 70's. But in what I can only assume is a...

Scary, but True

Mon, 21 Feb 2000 16:18:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ron - Not since Fight Club have I walked out of a movie so impressed at how accurately a filmmaker can capture the pulse of a generation. Boiler Room extracts the rich-by-thirty mentality out of the 20-something mind and puts it on parade for the world to...

Charming Ambience, Delicious Entrees

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 20:30:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ron - You probably haven't heard of Bistro Aix, and if you've passed by it while meandering around the Marina, you probably didn't know it was there. In its Marina anonymity rests the perfect French bistro to take a date to on a nice evening in San Francisco...

Jerry's Famous Deli: Deli of the Stars, Food is Five Stars

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 19:59:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ron - As a former resident of Studio City, I've spent many a late night dining at Jerry's Deli on Ventura Blvd and seen more Hollywood stars come through there than I can even begin to describe. Friends from high school used to recount tales of so-and-so...

Good for Vegetarians!

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 19:35:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ron - Armadillo Willy's is best described as a meatlover's paradise. The ribs are huge, the meat is said to gush with flavor and the ambience harkens back to the days of leave your buffalo-spear-at-the-door-and-chow-down-on-your-daily-kill. Needless to say, I...

Noisy But Good

Thu, 9 Dec 1999 18:39:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ron - If you are looking for a quiet evening at a well-regarded San Francisco restaurant, you'll hate LuLu's. With a noise decibel rating that easily contends with a New York city sidewalk, LuLu's "ambience" is one of constant chatter, endless...

And Then There Was One...

Tue, 26 Oct 1999 03:02:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ron - I used to be an Internet analyst that read a half-dozen Internet magazines each week as part of an effort to stay on top of the Internet industry. I had heard that a new magazine called The Industry Standard wanted to be a cross between the Economist...

Generation Fight Club

Sun, 17 Oct 1999 00:11:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ron - Yes, Fight Club is violent. Yes, Fight Club is graphic. And yes, Fight Club showcases blood-showered one-on-one brutality like few movies before it. But if you have the stomach for it, you'll discover some of the most profound social and generational...

Cattle Call, But Price is Right

Fri, 8 Oct 1999 17:43:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ron - When I was in college, I used to take quite a few Bay Area-Los Angeles Southwest Airlines flights each year. In my experiences, I found that there are three reasons to fly with Southwest Airlines:

1) Consistently low airfares

2) Flights...

Coke, Pepsi and Spam

Thu, 7 Oct 1999 21:38:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ron - Earthlink and Mindspring have been like the Coke and Pepsi of consumer ISPs -- they're the dominant choices and meet the needs of a fair number of ISP-seeking consumers. If you're looking for a reliable service provider that will get you your basic...

Satisfied, Not Thrilled

Wed, 6 Oct 1999 22:34:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ron - I've been using SureTrade for about a year and a half. I'm not a day trader, nor an avid stock watcher (although I tracked stocks every day when I started up with SureTrade). I decided to sign up for the service primarily for convenience and cost...

Alaska/Princess Cruise Lines/1: Beautiful Sights, Wonderful Cruise

Tue, 14 Sep 1999 16:42:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ron - My first experience on Princess Cruise lines -- the one the Love Boat series was based on -- was absolutely fabulous. My family of four, plus two family friends went up to Alaska in the summer of 1990 for what still remains the most beautiful vacation...

Latest, But Not the Greatest

Mon, 13 Sep 1999 22:41:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ron - You loved DMB's classic hit album "Under the Table and Dreaming", you were swept up in the hoopla over "Crash" (a classic album in its own right.) You bought the best of Dave with "Live at Red Rocks" and now you're looking...

Very Enjoyable

Mon, 30 Aug 1999 19:44:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ron - I rented Shakespeare In Love for two reasons:

a) I had only heard very positive things about it, and

b) it won the 1998 Oscar for best picture.

These two points would normally lead me to believe I would walk away from this...

Kill me now

Fri, 27 Aug 1999 18:50:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ron - Redefining the film genre of "Insanely Terrible Movie That Made Me Gnaw On My Armrest and Yell Kill Me Now", "The Astronaut's Wife" subtly says to it's audience... "you're in for the most painful two hours of your life."...

Buy the A4

Mon, 23 Aug 1999 21:35:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ron - If you're looking for the ultimate sport sedan that crosses style, power and luxury without skimping on reliability, look no further than the Audi A4. While your friends are out trying to decide which BMW 3 series will separate them from the crowd, the...

Gimme the Rock...

Sat, 17 Jul 1999 20:55:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ron - Spalding's Indoor/Outdoor basketball is the ball for all-terrain hoopsters whose game can't be confined to the glossy gym floor. It maintains its grip despite a good blacktop beating, with a soft but durable skin that invites precision ball control from...
