Sun, 27 Apr 2008 23:29:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shimmer_grl - It seems you either kind of hate to love them or you love to hate them, as they’ve become so widely mainstream, charging up radio air waves, but either way, we must admit that Canadian quartet, Nickelback, is a force to be reckoned with. To me they...

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 11:30:15 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author shimmer_grl - This review is for their high interest savings accounts, not home lending (only category available) Indy Mac Bank proves to be somewhat of a hassle and less than impressive. First off, I started out using ING (ingdirect.com) for my interest earning...

Can't get it out of my head!

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 12:44:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shimmer_grl - Papa Roach’s fourth album, Paramour Sessions, is their best yet. That seems a huge accomplishment, being their last albums were also pretty great. Lead singer, Jacoby (Coby) Shaddix’s rebellious life anthems and infectious voice are both...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shimmer_grl - 'My Name Is Earl' ... is probably the best comedy sitcom back on NBC's Thursday night line-up, since Friends & Seinfeld. It and Steve Carrell on the 'The Office' are both pretty darn funny. But, 'Medium', on later, is also good. Anyway, THIS show...

Scandal, corruption, & Loot, .. the untold story

Sat, 5 Apr 2008 13:28:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shimmer_grl - First off, I really loved Jason Stratham in Chaos, Crank, The Italian Job, and both of his Transporter movies, so I figure I have to check out his new film, The Bank Job. This was a good film, but I have to say it didn't have the same appeal to me as the...

The Best Fox Show in Ages

Fri, 4 Apr 2008 03:34:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shimmer_grl - I absolutely love this show, it's my current addiction.

Not a total joke, but not a miracle maker

Thu, 3 Apr 2008 21:18:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shimmer_grl - So, like many women, for quite a while, I have been wanting to get some toned up abs and get rid of the extra little bit of wrinkles around the stomach area. I have tried sit-ups and that kind of thing, but it is very straining on my neck and back and I...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shimmer_grl - Veteran action pro, Bruce Willis, and likeable young heart throb, Josh Harnett (both recently seen in Sin City) appear together this time in a cleverly crafted sort of psychological thriller that is both witty, smart, and fun, albeit a bit fast paced,...

Some guilty pleasures never die, but only a few episodes remain

Sun, 6 Apr 2003 23:27:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shimmer_grl - I couldn’t bare to watch this show in its first few seasons, figuring that it was just another lame, stereotypical, unrealistic, melodramatic, high school drama that wanted teens to turn in every week to obsess over some semi-cute, hardly talented...

Her age such a young # for someone taken 2 soon

Wed, 5 Sep 2001 16:15:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shimmer_grl - Back in 1994, when I was just fourteen, I happened to run across the soulful, yet bumpin’ r&b rhythm and rhyme styling from a young, new artist known merely by Aaliyah. It wasn’t long after that introduction that this 15 year-old, R. Kelly protégé, then...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shimmer_grl - So, you want to create an animation? A presentation? Maybe a game, or a website?

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shimmer_grl - Adobe Photoshop is definitely one of the best graphic imaging programs out there. It’s out of this world possibilities allow for absolutely limitless creative freedom. You can turn a picture of a cloudy day in the park into scenery of a sunset, and...

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 21:34:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shimmer_grl - (For those who are kinda slow.. I'm gonna make this C-L-E-A-R, my title is not a diss on Incubus, but rather bands who write extremely mindless lyrics. That's what I loved about this album on every level - it wasn't as such.)

Fri, 7 Jul 2000 19:31:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shimmer_grl - Bordering between alternative rock and hard rock, yet with a majority of rapping flow, you have probably heard these guys taking radio stations by storm with their first catchy single, “Last Resort”, or if you have not, I am betting you soon will in a...
