eawalton says "My favorite movie of all time" about The Princess Bride 1987

When this movie came out I was 12. I saw it twice in the theater, which considering I go to maybe one movie a year, is remarkable. I've watched in many times since. The only thing that seems dated now is the opening with Fred Savage as a little boy and ....Columbo...real name escaping me...as his grandpa. The quotes are memorable, the love story is sweet, the secondary characters are just as noteworthy as the leads. A great family film.

P.S. Read the book too!

eawalton says "Not appropriate for children, but it is excellent grown-up fare." about Battlestar Galactica

This series is definitely not for children, as several reviewers have stated (or complained), but I'm not sure anyone would mistake it for that, so why are people complaining? The writing is incredible. It's one of the top shows on tv as far as writing and production values go. The characters and their interactions never fail to interest me. I haven't seen Season 3 yet, but Seasons 1 & 2 were incredible. I can't imagine even comparing it to the original because they are totally different. Fans of the old series can like this one if they just separate the two totally. It's kind of like a beef burger vs. a veggie burger. They taste nothing alike, and if you think the veggie should taste like a hamburger, you'll always be disappointed. However, each can be enjoyed for their own merits.

eawalton says "This washer is a great, economical buy - very low water usagae!" about Fisher Paykel Washer - Top Load Intuitive Eco - IWL16

We bought this a couple of years ago and have had great results. We appreciate the Energy Star value. It uses very little water. I prefer the top load style, so this is a great compromise. Energy efficient but traditional style. (ie. not front loading) It takes a long time to do a load, but it spins so much water out of it that you can shorten the drying time (saving money and energy again, so it's really a plus in the end)....
