Kind of exciting, really. But you talk about political. This book reeks of politics. As it goes on, Crichton constantly whines about how the Japanese are taking over the American economy. I appreciate some philosophy in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~420373302916 Sat, 1 Mar 2008 00:48:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_420373302916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_420366290564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - This was an above average film, but not much more. Parts of this film dragged a bit; the director seemed so overwhelmed by his surroundings that he insisted on putting many, many sunsets in it. On the other hand, the film has a bit of power; it is very... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~420366290564 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 23:55:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_420366290564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_418689879684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - I have found that in general I don&#146t particularly enjoy freeze-dried meals. As bad as they are, however, I guess I like red ones. That means spaghetti and these Chili-Mac things. This particular version is 2 servings, which means &#147dinner for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~418689879684 Sun, 17 Feb 2008 11:46:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_418689879684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_418689289860?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - So the book jacket says that this is one of the best spy writers of our era. Then it goes on to describe the spy scene: Late 1930&#146s Germany. Historical fiction involving spies in World War II! What could be better than that? Unfortunately this is not... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~418689289860 Sun, 17 Feb 2008 11:29:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_418689289860?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_418653179524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - Ben Affleck. You know, I can't really remember a quality movie with this guy in it. I enjoyed Armageddon, I suppose, but that was more the performance of Bruce Willis and Steve Buscemi than Ben Affleck. This movie was pretty dull, mostly because of Ben... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~418653179524 Sun, 17 Feb 2008 01:34:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_418653179524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_417997164164?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - So in the world of watches, we have the veeeery expensive (such as Rolex), and the veeeery cheap &#150 such as those watches you buy at Wal-Mart for $7.99 This watch falls somewhere in between. It retails around $60. It looks very nice, it is solid in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~417997164164 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 22:31:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_417997164164?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_417888308868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - I always like historical fiction: you get to read a fun story about interesting characters, and simultaneously you get to learn a bit of history. From this point of view, this book was rather good: it had interesting characters that made their way... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~417888308868 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 00:44:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_417888308868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_417884049028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - I enjoyed this film, although I found the premise rather unbelievable. If you need believability in your movies, you won't like this one at all. On the other hand, if you enjoy the two themes "what goes around comes around," and "every loser has a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~417884049028 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 00:02:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_417884049028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_417164332676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - This book won an award way back in 1944 &#150 the Newbury Award, which is awarded to the best children&#146s book of the year. Even though the book revolves around a young man coming of age, be warned that it is a bit lengthy for a children&#146s... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~417164332676 Mon, 4 Feb 2008 23:38:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_417164332676?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_417162890884?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - Me, I hear that Nick Nolte and Barbra Streisand are in a movie, and I&#146m thinking there&#146s a mighty fine lawn somewhere that I should watch grow. On the other hand, I&#146m on a bit of a romantic kick at the moment, so I figured I&#146d give this... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~417162890884 Mon, 4 Feb 2008 23:24:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_417162890884?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416673599108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - I will start by saying that this film gave me a pretty strong feeling of disbelief when the main character left his fiancée for no particular reason. That said, however, the film has a wonderful underlying moral: true love can conquer painful pasts, it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416673599108 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 23:29:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416673599108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416663375492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - I have had a fish tank of some kind or other for many, many years. Many books I read talked about ick as a disease which is widespread and all over the place. As for me, however, I’ve never had a problem. Maybe it’s because I’ve been lucky, or maybe it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416663375492 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 21:51:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416663375492?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_415641210500?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - Believe it or not there was a time when Britney wasn&#146t on the front page of the Enquirer every week.

But in all of the city of Lakeland, Florida, there are no Holiday Inn Expresses. Instead there are two Holiday Inns – one next to I-4 and one on the south... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~415465311876 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 08:51:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_415465311876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_415293542020?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - There is no doubt that it is very difficult for a Mexican laborer to get into the United States, stay there, and make a decent living – despite language and racial differences. That would make a good movie. There is no doubt that a Hispanic male would... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~415293542020 Sun, 20 Jan 2008 23:00:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_415293542020?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_415275257476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - So I bought this at Wal-Mart for my trip to Peru. We were aiming for 6,000 meters &#150 didn&#146t quite get there &#150 but when you&#146re aiming for 6,000 meters you want something light, durable, and bright enough to light the rocks at night.

But if you are a man you will wear those shoes every day, and every day is punishing on... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~415264902788 Sun, 20 Jan 2008 17:23:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_415264902788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_415260446340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - This movie is one of those movies that can’t decide what direction to go. On the one hand it wants to be a movie about a mafia hit man, working some complex and dangerous mission in Argentina. On the other hand it wants to be a film about the sexy and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~415260446340 Sun, 20 Jan 2008 16:50:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_415260446340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_415257104004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - Some time ago I was working offshore on an drilling barge. The sleeping arrangements on board consisted of a big room with twenty beds. Two shifts – day and night – used those beds, and not everybody was snore-free.

Well, this book is really about holy crap, and perhaps for those a little weak in their faith it would be a difficult, even annoying, read. None the less, the book begins with a murder and gets quite intriguing from there. It was one of those... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~415231807108 Sun, 20 Jan 2008 12:08:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_415231807108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_415042014852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - In the world of tea you have standard black tea, and then you have everything else.
