Titles You’ve Reviewed

  • Book: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide series, Book 1)

    I rate this titleonand give it5.0

    British Humor at its Best

    Probably the funniest book I've ever read. Many a time I've found myself incapacitated thanks to this book. There are a couple of four-letter words, and a few sex references, but the only ...

  • TV: Law & Order

    I rate this titleiffyand give it4.0

      • My highlights are:
      • Positive messages

      Good Show, Kids Won't Get It

      Law and Order has a special place in my heart as being the "other" show on NBC. If it's prime time and you don't know what's coming on, guess Law and Order (or one of its ...

    • DVD: Taken

      I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0
      My concerns are:
      • Excessive violence
      • Inappropriate sexual content
      • Drinking, smoking, or drug use

        Excellent movie, perfect for teens

        Excellent movie. It had me on the edge of my seat throughout. Some of the content isn't for the kiddies, though. The whole plot centers on an underground slave trade that is definitely not for ...

      • DVD: Monty Python and the Holy Grail

        I rate this titleonand give it5.0

        Hilarious Comedy; Great for Teens

        This is probably the best comedy I've seen in a while. It had me bursting out laughing at every scene. I was surprised at the lack of vulgar content in the movie, but it was a pleasant surprise. ...

      • Game: Rome: Total War (including Barbarian Invasion and Alexander)

        I rate this titleonand give it5.0

          • My highlights are:
          • Educational
          • Safety isn't an issue

          Excellent Game

          Rome: Total War is one of my favorite games of all time. Whether it be raiding the barbarian Gauls, battling huge war elephants in Carthage, or marching through the gates of Rome itself. A great ...

        • Game: Age of Empires II: Age of Kings

          I rate this titleonand give it5.0

            • My highlights are:
            • Educational

            Excellent game for those of all ages

            Excellent game, and educational, too. I actually won my school geography bee because I played this game. Serious. It really teaches medival history well, and has a section devoted to that, which you ...

          • Game: Halo: Combat Evolved

            I rate this titleonand give it3.0

              • My highlights are:
              • Safety isn't an issue

              Over-rated game, in more ways than one

              Halo has sold over ten million copies, and for the life of me I don't know why. It's got a terribly small selection of weapons, very little dialog, is obscenely linear, and includes the ...

            • Game: Halo Wars

              I rate this titleonand give it1.0

              The worst game I've ever played

              The worst game I've ever played. Period. RTS games do NOT work on a console, the makers of Halo Wars are oblivious to this fact. Even clumsy controls aside, the game is still pathetic, with you ...

            • Book: The Da Vinci Code

              I rate this titleonand give it5.0
              My concerns are:
              • Inappropriate sexual content

                Excellent and Thrilling Read; Some Aspects not Appropiate for Kids

                Dan Brown is an evil genius. He obiously enjoys our torment as we try to live through every day life while Robert Langdon is inches from death. Honestly, don't pick up this book on a work night. ...

              • DVD: The Godfather

                I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0
                My concerns are:
                • Excessive violence
                • Inappropriate sexual content
                • Inappropriate language
                • Negative message
                • Negative role models

                  Excellent Movie; Not for the Kiddies

                  Ah, The Godfather. Probably one of my favorite movies all time. Of course I'm not a parent. A parent would probably find the violence alone to be too much for their child, and I admit, it is ...

                • TV: Saturday Night Live

                  I rate this titleiffyand give it4.0

                    Sometimes Funny/Sometimes Inappropriate; Teens Only

                    SNL can be very funny at times. To the point of not being able to speak or breath. Having said that, a lot of the jokes have a sexual theme or reference certain body parts. Most of time when this ...
