The Wicker Man: Not MY thing.. but well done.

Tue, 5 Sep 2006 10:42:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - It was my fault for not researching this movie and so got caught in a too-scary-for-me and slightly disturbing images that the wicker man offers. This well-told and excellently acted movie is not for everyone. I almost brought my mother-in-law. Silly...

Quiddler kept us laughing

Mon, 5 Dec 2005 14:16:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - I enjoy a good game of scrabble once in a while, but as a game lover, word related or even card related games aren't my favorite. I can make an exception with Quiddler because it kept us talking, discussing and laughing. Quiddler is a fast-moving...

I [heart] Thumbsucker

Sun, 9 Oct 2005 00:03:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - Although I went into this movie with high expectations, it didn't disappoint me. I had the soundtrack, watched clips and interviews and loved the premise and theme: We are all flawed and we need to learn to embrace it and not look for answers to "fix"...

The Brothers Grimm - a slow but interesting fairy tale

Fri, 26 Aug 2005 18:56:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - Jacob and Will Grimm are brothers who are the "ghostbusters" of their time. They will rid your town of a witch or ghost, for a fee, of course. As they make their living doing this, Jake (Heath Ledger) and Will (Matt Damon) they spend a night in a tavern...

Slice-of-A-BORING-life movie

Wed, 24 Aug 2005 17:20:08 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - He seems to just watch his life go by until one day, Don (Bill Murray) received a letter from a past lover stating she bore him a son after they broke up. She doesn't sign the letter and leaves Don to wonder slightly who wrote it. His neighbor is quite...

A cheap, dirty option

Sat, 6 Aug 2005 19:09:04 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - If you are looking for a one or two night stay at a very cheap price, this is an option. If you want any elegance or demand cleanliness, I would avoid this motel. We stayed here for two nights and although the price was right (49.95/night with our AAA...

All teens+ can enjoy this game

Sun, 14 Dec 2003 02:40:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - With elements of pictionary, songbird, charades, trivial pursuit, Wheel of Fortune, Spelling Bee, playdoh & impersonations, this game really does have it all as board games go. For the right-brained creative persons, teams compete to guess what you...

All the Matrix-lover needs

Tue, 8 Jan 2002 13:02:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - You probably know the movie, but the "revisited" is something you may not have viewed before buying this combo pack. The behind the scenes that this dvd gives you is the most complete I've ever seen. It is a blow by blow start to finish "how we did it"...

Don't diss it for the last 3 seconds

Mon, 17 Dec 2001 11:56:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - I will not give away the ending here or anything you don't already know by the trailers, but I do have to say this movie is

SO interesting, it is worth the trip. It is a suspenseful, confusing, sensual, intellectual love story. It is difficult to...

It's in the Pencil Jar

Fri, 13 Oct 2000 09:46:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - If you can't find it, what good is it? This thermometer is tough and has a case for the flexing (and sensing) slender rod. You can stick it right in the pencil jar to grab any time.

We bought this because we knew we could read it easily and...

CLASSIC drama - must see

Sun, 24 Sep 2000 12:01:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - This movie blends love, forgiveness, endurance, deceit and friendship while it entertains and teaches how inner strength perseveres. This is one of those movies that you feel you want to watch again because there is symbolism threaded throughout that...

Not a lack of chemistry, just bad acting

Mon, 28 Aug 2000 15:21:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - This is not going to be a technical review where I spout the nuances of the acting world. I'm just going to call it like I saw it, and I'm so sad I did have to see it. I tried to leave, but I didn't want to walk home and was with others. We kept waiting...

How to do Wisconsin Dells

Tue, 8 Aug 2000 21:58:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - Wisconsin Dells is a great place to spend some money, do things you didn't think you would ever try and see things you never thought you would. If you are planning a trip, you may want to print this and bring it as many specifics are included.

Kid friendly with humor adults will laugh at

Sun, 16 Jul 2000 18:00:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - My mother used my kids as an excuse to see this movie thinking it was only for kids. WRONG! Although it uses claymation as to show you the action, the real message and humor of this movie is in the script used and the wit behind that script.

WARNING! Don't buy the dance mix CD! Its not Britney.

Sun, 28 May 2000 21:44:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - I have bought and enjoy the new CD "Oops! I did it again" by Britney Spears. Today I found "Oops!.. I did it again" which is 3 songs including dance mixes. I was stupid enough not to look all over the CD for Britney's name and now I...

The PERFECT sandwich!

Fri, 12 May 2000 22:38:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - I was introduced to this deli a couple years ago. I had never heard of it but she had raved and I tried it, trusting her selection, and I was surprised that I loved it so much.

I do not have one near my house, but I have been 6 times or so by...

The IRRITATING Story of Us

Sat, 6 May 2000 10:01:24 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - I have to say I trusted Rob Reiner on this one and it was a mistake. I've been married for 12 years and I know what fighting is like. This movie would make you never want to try marriage if you believed what you saw. But don't worry, you won't.

Such Valor!

Fri, 3 Mar 2000 19:24:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - A movie with undying loyalty and love twisted into one usually gets me and this one does it oh so well. This is one of those movies I just had to own and here is why:

This movie has superb acting and a great script to start it off. Leonardo...

It doesn't irritate!

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 00:30:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - Hap Palmer has a knack for fascinating the kiddies and not annoying the grownups. In recent years, I have found this has become hard for some creators (I won't mention any names).

Piggy toes is my favorite (like you care) but the music itself...

..except for the torture scene

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 00:19:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - ... this is a perfect fairy tale. The opening where the grandpa reads to the grandson(a young Fred Savage, doing a great job) is a great intro and ends up providing great comic relief for the "kissing parts" that kids don't care about.

Worth the price for longterm needs

Sun, 20 Feb 2000 12:53:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - I was committed to breastfeeding for a long time with my last child as we didn't have the money to use formula. I knew that poor pumps had sabotaged my efforts to breastfeed in the past (other 2 children). I borrowed this item from a friend and it saved...

Wish I could frame the pages!

Mon, 14 Feb 2000 02:45:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - The pictures are not the only appeal in Brett's tales, but they are certainly a high point. In her story-telling, she uses the pictures to give a view of what is to come (on the right border) and what is going on with another character (the boy - in the...

Kid Fun/Adult assembly

Fri, 11 Feb 2000 12:04:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - We got a version of this manufacturer's raceway called Gravity Blaster. It is larger with longer track (although we only set it up in an oval for ease.) It was a hit!!!

However, later that week, my son (age 7) wanted to put it together to...

Lasts & Lasts

Fri, 11 Feb 2000 11:55:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cassign - This easily movable car has survived all the "crashes" and tipping and washing. Initially kids move only backwards, but this is still fun (although you have to watch them cuz they can get going and they don't know where) We originally bought it...
