The Killing Dance Killed It

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 15:09:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - And you thought I was finished. Oh, but I’m not. Unfortunately. This was the last book I read before I threw it down in disgust (with two left to go, since I purchased them ahead of time, being way too naive and optimistic) and vowed never to...

It Makes You Want a Slice

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 00:31:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - I forgot how I came across this film. Like many nights, I was bored and searching for something new to watch. I think I was putzing around the good imbd.com when I saw an ad for My Blueberry Nights. It’s not a very popular movie because it...

Superman Returns to a Speculative Audience

Sat, 2 Aug 2008 22:49:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - I know, it’s been out a while, but I just haven’t really gotten around to seeing it. Until I got incredibly bored one day and found it on a friend’s On-Demand HBO channel. Hey, why not? Let’s see how good this new hot-shot actor can...

Thu, 22 May 2008 20:19:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - 4:15 p.m. – Ow. Ow. The cheeky part under my eyes is sore to the touch. It feels swollen and throbbing, it’s making my eyes water, and it’s giving me a bad headache. I can’t breathe through my nose because it’s blocked with...

My Nose is Anti-Toilet Paper

Thu, 22 May 2008 18:02:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - I have a cold right now, and I am not enjoying it. To be more precise, it's a sinus infection and my head feels like it's about to explode. I think my next review will be on sinus medicine. Like all lovely colds and sinus infections, they come with...

Add in a Faerie...

Thu, 22 May 2008 17:24:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - Let me start off by saying that I don’t like the Anita Blake series for a number of reasons (i.e. just read the previous reviews) but I had gotten eight books at once, so I kept reading them. Eventually I’m going to sell them. This is...

Aaaahhhh - Overnight Cuticle Relief

Mon, 12 May 2008 22:16:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - I am a graduate student. Therefore, I'm a stressed out mess. My nails usually speak for themselves. I'm not a nail-biter, but I'm a cuticle-picker. Big time. I'm doing it now between typing. If I don't follow my every-night ritual of...

Suave? Cheap Imitation? Sold!

Mon, 12 May 2008 15:37:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - I am a plain jane; my hair is brown, past shoulder length, and as straight as it can be. My hair is so naturally straight that it will fight the curling iron and laugh at rollers. I don't have a chance on a humid day. Some people might consider me...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - When I last left off, I was severely disappointed by book number three of the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton. They’ve been labeled as the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series though I adamantly disagree about the vampire...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - The Anita Blake series by the author Laurell K. Hamilton is supposedly about a big bad vampire slayer who solves murders and deals with the supernatural on a daily basis. This heroine is sexy, smart, talented, and knows how to use a whole lotta...

Half "Yeah!" and Half "Huh?"

Thu, 8 May 2008 00:01:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - I haven’t been keeping up with the music market, so I really don’t know what’s out there. My tastes range incredibly wide and I’ll listen to just about anything, save rap and country music. I like stuff that varies from Enya to...

Ashes in the Wind: It All Started With A Ragamuffin...

Mon, 5 May 2008 15:18:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - Okay, so my quest for searching for a worthy romance novel continued. I’m starting to get disappointed with the Laurell K. Hamilton books – the Anita Blake series – but I’ll get to those later. My last book was a Nicholas Sparks...

Nicholas Sparks Breaks Tradition

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:28:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - One day, out of another spike of sheer boredom, I drove to the local Barnes and Noble store in hopes to find a new book to read. My quest with the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton had come to a standstill for now, as I've been pretty...

Sun, 2 Mar 2008 23:26:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - I wanted to get into something different in terms of reading novels; I had gone from Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, but I eventually got tired of all that and decided to go for...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - I loved the game, so I got the soundtrack. Usually a great story is accompanied by great music, and F

Sat, 1 Mar 2008 00:21:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - I really wish I had my Kingdom Hearts II game back. I have a hankering to play it...but I let my little sister borrow it, and she's like five states away. Oh well. That's how good Kingdom Hearts II is. In fact, I would argue that it's...

You Won't Hear This on the Radio

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 22:04:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - I normally don't listen to this type of music except for a few Enya and Loreena McKennitt songs, so when I was flipping through the channels one day, I was surprised to hear an entire chorus singing May It Be, a song originally...

Hero is So-so

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:40:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - There is a lot going on in Yimou Zhang's Hero. I really like and dislike the movie at the same time. It's hard to explain, but to put it in the simplest terms, I just did not like the plot. To me, it turned out to be one of those plots that...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - I've had this soundtrack for years! Why didn't I review it yet? Hrrrm...probably because I don't want to mess it up. It's too perfect. After watching the movie <

Lusting for Piano

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 02:00:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - Sorry about the lame title. I couldn't help it. I swear one of these days I’m going to learn how to play the piano. Until that day arrives, I guess I’ll just have to listen to it instead. And oh, what a sweet melody. Alexandre Desplat...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author staceums - Lately, I’ve been into foreign films. My experience with Chinese flicks has been sketchy, however. To say the least, I really love the Chinese actors and actresses and they definitely know how to grab the audience and drag them into a captivating...
