Outrageous Fact-Bending and Irrelevant Tripe!

Sun, 28 May 2000 23:56:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wadjiin - NBC is an endless pit of disappointment for me. I avoid it when I can, but sometimes the people who I am with want to watch a program on the network. To-night, it was Inherit the Wind. More on that below! But right now, I wish to speak with you...

Mon, 3 Apr 2000 15:47:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wadjiin - Originally I bought the book for a class, however I decided to hold on to it instead of selling it on because I've been so pleased with it. The poems go from 1927 to 1979 and the eight books are included ALL of Elizabeth Bishop's works, and certainly...

Mon, 20 Mar 2000 02:57:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wadjiin - While babysitting, I happened upon this show and was thoroughly mortified that Nickelodion would put something as lousy for your brain as this show on their network. Spongebob Squarepants may be interesting, fun, and certainly creative, but if you want...

A Sort of Love Story...

Mon, 20 Mar 2000 01:59:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wadjiin - A true artistic triumph of the human imagination, Still Life With Woodpecker came into my life a few days ago and I completely embraced it. 100% of this book is ideas and pictures stemming from an obviously entertained and developed mind. In fact,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wadjiin - Irvine Welch has certainly brought to the literary world wonderful works of stunning and stark poetry in the form of narrative novels. We can all agree, I'm sure, that all works by Welch are very imaginative, revealing, and definitely the author's...

Wed, 9 Feb 2000 03:24:26 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wadjiin - In a previous review, I spoke about USA network’s way of shoving sweaty bodies in your face one minute, and then teaching right and wrong the next. In this review I would like to touch on that side of the spectrum: USA's "wholesome"...

Crude Sex Appeal and Slanted Outlooks are USA's Chief Praxis

Wed, 9 Feb 2000 02:52:57 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author wadjiin - When I switched from Dish on Demand's America's Top 100 to the Top 40, I was slightly disappointed that I would still have to pass over USA on my way to a decent channel. USA is, to me, an extremist network which can’t decide who’s side they’re on; it...

Sun, 6 Feb 2000 04:18:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wadjiin - When I watch some of the kids in my neighbourhood, their households often have one of these toys. The kids seem to love the toy, and they will sit for a long time on it, spinning around. While they invariably are very dizzy when they get up, I wonder if...

Sat, 5 Feb 2000 04:02:58 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author wadjiin - I've always viewed Shop At Home as being a really low-class kind of QVC. The products are obscure; they sell everything from broadswords, to baseballs, to pots and pans, to lawn chairs, etc. I've always thought this network was bizarre and would never...

Temple of Careless Acting and Irritating Characters

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 00:26:47 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wadjiin - While I normally enjoy Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford movies, this one takes the cake as the most aggravating and embarrassing one of all. Especially since the other films were so wonderfully done. I found the script to be unrevised and obvious. It's...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author wadjiin - While we all know that the members of NSync, as well as the other boy bands, have good intentions, we really can't ignore the implications they make about love and what boyfriends are like. When we see these sweet and kind boys on national TV specials,...

Anachronistic Adventure Which Will Wear on YOUR Nerves

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 00:46:57 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author wadjiin - When I saw this movie was on TBS., I almost didn't want to watch it because Hugh Grant is in it. However I sat down to do some sewing and attempted to enjoy it.

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 23:08:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wadjiin - Even though I said I paid $60 for this toaster oven, I actually got it for free.

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 02:44:11 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wadjiin - Have you seen the first season of MadTV? That was some really funny, original humour. But I can't stand to even watch the thing anymore. Every time I turn the show on, I see some kind of minority group being represented by a deformed, unintelligent, and...
