After an hour this Race starts to feel like a marathon...

Wed, 13 Feb 2002 17:07:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tux - In the tradition of the "regular misfits race for money" movies released in years past, Rat Race follows six regular people who, at the humorously malevolent will of bored millionaires, race across the country to win a couple million dollars. Wacky...

the royal tenenbaums should win a whole-lot-a oscars, but it probably won't.

Wed, 13 Feb 2002 02:12:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tux - Every once in a while, we are treated to an original, witty, beautifully written and directed near-masterpiece, that will keep you smiling dumbly at the screen as each act unfolds. The Royal Tenenbaums is just that. I have to use...

Disney's Atlantis should stay lost.

Wed, 6 Feb 2002 17:33:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tux - Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire is difficult to watch, let alone waste time writing a review about it. If this review can help save some unsuspecting movie buff from suffering the same disturbing fate as me from blowing their hard-earned money...

Before Frodo, there was Conan!

Fri, 1 Feb 2002 16:14:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tux - Conan the Barbarian is the standard to which all future Sword and Sorcery movies are to be held. Made twenty years before the initial release of the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the movie still stands as the...

The best resource for freelance artists.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tux - Please note: This review is for the 2002 Artist's & Graphic Designers Market, the latest version of the Artist's & Graphic Designers Market series.

If you have read my review of the 2002 Writer's Market you already know I...

a big, fat, hairy, green monster of a movie.

Wed, 23 Jan 2002 16:29:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tux - Shrek is a refreshingly original and wildly entertaining animated tale. The voice work done by Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy is mesmerizing, and helps make this movie funny from start to finnish. For the most part, the computer animations are...

before Fast and the Furious, there was Gone in 60 Seconds

Wed, 23 Jan 2002 16:19:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tux - Before the shallow, unrealistic, adrenaline packed, fast car movie The Fast and the Furious, there was the shallow, unrealistic, adrenaline packed, fast car movie Gone in Sixty Seconds. The big difference between the two movies is that...

The best resource for writers...

Tue, 22 Jan 2002 18:19:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tux - The 2002 Writer's Market, while not the only resource for our small army of potential and professional writer's, it is undoubtedly the best. I am a long-time reader of Writer's Digest (the magazine) and an annual consumer of the...

If you were stranded on an island...

Sat, 19 Jan 2002 17:26:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tux - Well, the ferret is out of his cage, doing his best to pester me, and I am sitting on the couch watching Cast Away for the fourth time.

Cast Away is a stellar production of a man who becomes stranded on an uncharted island after his plane...

A beautiful, albeit slow, movie

Fri, 18 Jan 2002 18:24:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tux - I have read plenty of John Nash stories in recent weeks, enough to have a basic understanding of the man and his accomplishments. The movie was made infinitely more interesting by having a small grasp of Nash's "game theory" and subsequent social...

Cute, funny, and rewatchable.

Fri, 18 Jan 2002 01:49:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tux - Groundhog Day is one of those movies you either love or hate. I love the movie. Even though I own the movie, I still watch it every time it plays on TV. In fact, I'm writing this as I watch it tonight.

The story, of a man caught up in a...

America's answer to the Eclipse and Celica

Fri, 4 Jan 2002 13:53:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tux - Can you beleive it! They are no longer making this car... after only 4 years with this design. That's a good thing I guess, I think it will keep the car more original (fewer of them on the road). I hope it keeps the car resale value at a decent level,...

I didn't see it coming...

Sat, 11 Nov 2000 14:52:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tux - Airbags work. Seatbelts work. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. When I was involved in a head on collision last spring I am confident that my 1992 Celica's safety equipment and the quality of the car itself saved me from any injury. Aside from a...

The golden boy of DVD players...

Fri, 27 Oct 2000 12:20:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tux - After I bought the XV-M567GD JVC player, one of my co-workers told me that over the last twenty years he has only bought JVC entertainment equipment. Now that I finally have something from the JVC realm, I respect his opinion even more than before...

Heavy, yes. Impressive, no.

Wed, 25 Oct 2000 21:42:04 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tux - Would I recommend this fax/copier/scanner above the other, high-end machines on the market? No.

Printing, faxing, scanning, copying and receiving calls, the CFX-L3500IF virtually does it all (except hire a receptionist). There is nothing like...

The best copier I've used.

Tue, 24 Oct 2000 18:15:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tux - When I first used the Ricoh FT7950 six months ago, a giant smile came over my face and I looked around my office of someone to share my enthusiasm. Silly, I know, but this copier is so good it gave me chills.

This copier has the total...

Glenayre AccessLink II 2-Way Pager: How far can I throw this thing?

Thu, 19 Oct 2000 12:23:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tux - If you're looking for a basic two-way pager than this one might be right for you, but you had better cross your fingers because the Glenayre AccessLink II has some problems. Since these are a company wide requirement for Lucent, I've known quite a few...

Good for Work and Play

Wed, 18 Oct 2000 22:58:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tux - Since IBM's coming out with the T20, I checked and the 600X is still available. I have been using this machine at work and at home. It can handle all of the larger programs at work (runs on NT 4.0, takes Oracle, Lotus Notes, etc. in stride - I was...

Panasonic CT 27G24 27 in. 27 in. Standard Television: Panasonic Performance, One of the Best

Wed, 18 Oct 2000 18:01:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tux - I like the picture in picture. For $15 dollars extra… it's worth it. This TV delivers awesome performance for the 27" range at a decent price.

I paid much more for this TV than what they are selling it for now. I've owned it for about 8...

RCA 19" Television F19240GY: 19" RCA TV... Quality at a good price

Sun, 15 Oct 2000 20:59:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tux - I have owned this TV for two years, and I am pleased with its quality and performance. Most of all, I am pleased with the price I paid.

Price

After my last move, I needed an affordable, smaller television that would be a good fit...

Dish Network DishPlayer 500 Channel Satellite System: Dish Network Great, Cable Bad...

Fri, 13 Oct 2000 00:44:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tux - I love it. After cable upset me again, by raising the price (again) and offering the same disappointing quality of channels and service, I finally made the decision to buy one of these babies. The Pro's of the service are nearly too many to mention...
