Desktop Video Powerbox

Fri, 19 May 2000 04:16:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author snark - The Sony VAIO PCV-R547DS Digital Studio Computer is a great machine. Sony has designed an intelligent system for any and all uses, but especially so for multimedia work. If you want to do video/image editing on a Win98 PC, this computer or one of its...

St. Francis of Manhattan

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author snark - If you love great art, and you've never been to the Frick Collection, drop everything you are currently doing and buy a plane ticket for New York. If you are there already, catch an Uptown train. C'mon, I'm waiting.

This is an exquisite little...

There's a World...Going On...Underground!

Mon, 15 May 2000 03:34:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author snark - This is a beautiful and amazing, funny, intense film, which amazingly captures the uncapturable strangeness that is/was Yugoslavia. Take with a bucket of salt any reviews you might read of this film that slam it for being Serbian propaganda. I myself am...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author snark - Rebecca West's non-fiction travelogue-cum-history magnum opus, Black Lamb & Grey Falcon, detailing her travels through Yugoslavia in the late 1930s, is simply one of the most amazing books ever written, and I'm not just saying that because I...

Dreamscribing Video Orb

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author snark - This unusual documentary film about New York City Grayline Bus tour guide Timothy "Speed" Levitch is not really about the external New York City at all; rather, the focus of The Cruise is an internal New York City of the mind inside of a...

Eat This Book!

Tue, 9 May 2000 05:06:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author snark - Everybody makes their own way through Finnegans Wake, which is really a large part of the musephysical magic of this wandering orgy of language and story. I prefer to pick it up at random, take it out of context, mangle it up all over the place. Throw...

Bloated Hamster, Nice Ratchet

Tue, 9 May 2000 03:57:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author snark - This is an interesting new product, one surely to be emulated by others. I can easily imagine little red lasers emitted from every object in our environment, from the dinner menu at your local Swizzler to every tree in the National Park of your choice...
