rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CDFrye120 - I recently had sort of a “contact lens crisis”.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CDFrye120 - His wife Tabitha called it “the one with the sh!t weasels” for a good reason.

Mon, 10 Sep 2001 01:29:42 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CDFrye120 - I try to vary the things I read as much as I can. One day you may catch me with a Stephen King novel, the next something by Carlos Castaneda, and maybe even a Nora Roberts. Life is dull without variety, right?

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CDFrye120 - This movie is a great adaptation of John Irving’s novel of the same title - I read the book when I was very young, which now seems rather odd to me (guess I was a weird kid?) - I think I was like twelve. When the movie came out I was mostly curious - I...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CDFrye120 - This summer I have really been a book freak as well as a movie freak. So much so that I haven’t really even stopped to write about many of them at all. Now that I’m coming up for air (a little) here goes.....

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CDFrye120 - I really am enjoying the summer - I love movie watching, both in the theaters and at home. I should probably buy Blockbuster stock, I have used it so much. This of course leads to trouble, at least with me. When things get busy around here I tend to...

It's just a jump to the left........

Fri, 8 Jun 2001 12:03:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CDFrye120 - There has never since been a film of this kind with the sort of cult following that it enjoys. Inspired by the stage play by Richard O’Brien is the film of the same name, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. This irreverent, non- PC film crosses the line in...

Sat, 2 Jun 2001 01:25:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CDFrye120 - You generally will not find opinions on any sort of make-up products from me. The last time I actually put on a full face of make-up (and someone else did it for me!) was nine years ago when I got married! However, this soap by Clinique is worth...

Sat, 3 Mar 2001 14:10:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CDFrye120 - Last June I wrote an epinion on this subject having just purchased a Poo-chi for myself. I collect Furbys and I thought that this was sort of an extension of that. I later deleted the opinion because frankly it was lame at best.

Since that...
