There are some movies that are classics. People will watch these because of the impact that they rsquo;ve had on society or because they rsquo;re great movies. Most people will know which ones these are... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~449281625732 Sun, 26 Oct 2008 22:31:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_449281625732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_445970943620?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - When I signed up for Flickr, I thought it was great I could put my stuff on a map. Then, I realized that I had to know where the picture was taken. In most cases, I know roughly where the picture is. I can at least get it to within a block or two.

This is evident in films such as Akira. Let’s face it; the movie starts out with a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~445188705924 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 22:29:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_445188705924?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_443145490052?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - I can remember getting my fist point-and-shoot camera with my brother. It was the Fuji FinePix MX-1200. The thing was so old, it actually used Smart Media cards. I’ve come a long way since then. Last year, I decided to get a digital SLR.

One thing I new I needed was a flash. This becomes evident mostly when taking indoor pictures. My cat would often get those green eyes commonly associated with pets.

Put me in front of a desert buffet and I'll probably try everything. When I saw that there were candies and deserts, like jelly beans and candy bars, on Epinions, I knew that I had something I could write about.One... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~443070254724 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 10:26:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_443070254724?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_443069861508?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - I’ve been trying to write about things outside of the movie category, but I seem to be running out of non-movie things to review. Like AliventiAsylum, I’m a member of Where’s George. In fact, it was in the Where’s George chat... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~443069861508 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 10:19:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_443069861508?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_443026673284?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - There are a lot of derogatory terms out there. Look on Wikipedia and you’ll see one for all sorts of races and nationalities. Few can conjure as much emotion as the one The N Word documents. I’m white and hearing the word makes me uneasy... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~443026673284 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 23:57:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_443026673284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_443021037188?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - I like animation, but it’s kind of hard to see in the theaters. During the summer, there are lots of kids (and parents) looking for something to do and animation is usually seen as kids’ stuff. I had an opportunity to see WALL-E in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~443021037188 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 23:52:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_443021037188?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442955501188?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - When I first got a digital SLR, my brother gave me some great advice. He told me to wait a few months before buying any new lenses. At the time, I had a Sigma 28-90 and a Nikkor 35-135. Those should be enough for a while. Eventually, I’d figure... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442955501188 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 11:20:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442955501188?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442954976900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - I remember finding a jump drive once. At the time, I wasn’t working or going to school, so I didn’t really see the need to keep one. I think my brother ended up with it. A few months ago, I realized that it probably wouldn’t be a bad... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442954976900 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 11:18:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442954976900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442909494916?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - I like science-fiction stories because of the possibilities that they open. This is especially true of time-travel movies. The problem with time travel is that it can be very easy to lose the audience. Pile on too much jargon and techno able and you... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442909494916 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 00:42:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442909494916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442909298308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - The phone for my land line wouldn’t be a big deal except that cell phones don’t like to work in my house. I do spend a lot of time in my room either watching television or writing reviews. On the rare occasions where I need to buy a phone,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442909298308 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 00:39:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442909298308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_440678977156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - I remember a long time ago at a Star Trek convention, someone asked one of the actors if The Next Generation reused any of the scripts, or at least story ideas, from the original series. The response was that it did to varying degrees. The same proved... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~440678977156 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 22:26:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_440678977156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_440668491396?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - A lot of times we come into something and end up being disappointed. It’s funny how you can also come into something not expecting anything at all and still be disappointed. After watching The Village, also by M. Night Shyamalan, I came into The... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~440668491396 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 20:13:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_440668491396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_440668425860?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - It’s funny how sometimes, the main characters of a show will happen upon something that seems innocuous on the outside, but will actually be something far more complicated. That’s what happens when Voyager happens upon what seems like a comet.

Even on moons, no one is bouncing around at half their normal weight. I realized that with this episode. It occurred to me when an... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~440668360324 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 20:10:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_440668360324?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_440668294788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - One of the more interesting things that Star Trek: Voyager did was to have a holographic character. In certain aspects, The Doctor was like Data from The Next Generation, but the Doctor did appear to have emotions, even if they were mostly ones like... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~440668294788 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 20:08:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_440668294788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_440572219012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - WARNING: I will be giving a plot twist and discussing how the episode ends. If you don&#146t like that, then maybe this review isn&#146t for you. The primary mission of the U.S.S. Enterprise is to seek out new life forms.
