rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skipcar - Santa delivered the L-Max to our five-year-old on Christmas morning. Since then, he has played the game almost constantly. So much so that we had to purchase the recharging system because he was using a full set of batteries each day. Santa got this...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skipcar - Okay...the concept was a bit far-fetched: A former decorated Navy Seal resigns from the military, impresses a famous novelist and is given free reign to live on the novelist's seashore estate in Hawaii. Yeah...it's a tough life. Did I mention that he...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skipcar - I wanted a DVD recorder for quite some time and when I first heard about Pioneer joining a DVD recorder with TiVo, I knew this was what I wanted. But, then I saw the price! When it was released to the consumer market, the 810H was north of $1100! Too...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skipcar - My wife and I finally decided to buy a good digital camera. We'd had a Polaroid digital camera and liked it ok, but we hated that it seemed to eat batteries with a passion. So we broke down and invested in a Sony.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skipcar - I want to start off by saying that I do not own a Park Avenue. That's not to say that I don't want to...just that I don't.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skipcar - I've read other reviews and heard the talk on the street. And while I agree that the love triangle plot was a bit outside reality, the movie was a success.
