GIGLI: Sometimes you DO know...

Thu, 15 Jul 2004 01:45:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - Ben Affleck, the film's title character, starts the movie by saying, "You see, after all is said and done, the only thing you can really be sure of—the only thing you can really count on in this world—is that you just never... f*cking... know."...

Oops, I took a WRONG TURN in the movie aisle at Blockbuster…

Sun, 11 Jul 2004 03:17:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - After watching this movie, we believe the cable TV blurb describing “Wrong Turn” was 100% on the mark: three inbred cannibals chase a group of teenagers through the Appalachian Mountains. Yeehaw. Sounds like a rip-roaring good time. Before we...

Final Destination 2: I can’t believe this hasn’t been given the 1 star yet

Wed, 30 Jul 2003 06:09:31 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - I don’t care, so I’m just going to say it: DECAPITATING EVERYONE does not a sequel make. Final Destination, the first movie, was admittedly eerie. Through a series of small mishaps, survivors who got off flight 180 right before it exploded...

28 Days Later... I'll probably STILL be scared...

Sat, 12 Jul 2003 07:01:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - For a minute, just imagine this. You wake up in the hospital. Groggy, disoriented, and completely n...

Weight Smart doesn't feel stupid, but stinky instead

Sat, 7 Jun 2003 15:42:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - Back when I was in Health & Wellness, my teacher for the course Mrs. Keithley told us of a a little story. Apparently, back in the 90's, the biggest things to show up in New York City sewers were cockroaches, rats, and "One a Day" vitamin supplements. It...

Milo's Return needs to go back home.

Mon, 2 Jun 2003 17:27:32 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - I really enjoyed Disney’s full-length cartoon “Atlantis: The Lost Empire” probably more than any other Disney cartoon that’s come out in a long time. The characters were interesting and had a lot of depth. It had a lot of good jokes with...

My Eureka Boss Lite Upright Sucks. Good.

Sun, 1 Jun 2003 17:15:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - I purchased this little vacuum (in the picture, mine is the second one from the right) because I had wood floors for a time and sweeping every single day sucks. I didn't have a lot of money to allot for a vacuum so I went for what was on sale and looked...

Uniball Fusion pens are REALLY NIFTY

Sat, 31 May 2003 21:18:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - I always love to buy new pens, which is funny because I'm sure I do more typing than actual writing. I'm a pen freak, but it's a hard road to hoe (yep, I hoe roads occassionally) because I frequently am let down by the pens I choose. They either smudge...

I am wholly embarrassed to admit I saw DARKWOLF (ugh.)

Sat, 31 May 2003 12:47:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - This movie now ranks as the absolute WORST movie I have ever seen. I am actually embarrassed to impart to others that I watched this film, but as there has been no other review, I thought it only right to warn people. Nothing compares to how...

I FOUND NEMO to be pretty darn cute.

Fri, 30 May 2003 20:54:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - My daughter forced me to find Nemo. And I found him to be pretty darn Disney Cute-a-licious. Yes, it does have to be just that cutsey. Take a bunch of colorful lifelike objects, throw in some cutey-woo talking animals with a lot of good jokes who are...

I Met Joe Black for the Take a Buddy to the Movies W/O~

Thu, 29 May 2003 09:05:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - I don’t know why people hate this movie. I have actually admitted to real life persons that I have seen this movie, in its entirety and I get a mixture of facial expressions that mostly remind me of a cross between smelling a case of mothballs and...

Russian Frog Princess is really really good.

Thu, 22 May 2003 15:37:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - I always love a new twist on an old classic. This is not the story of the beautiful princess who meets up with an ugly toad and promises to kiss it and that kiss somehow transforms it into a handsome and wonderful prince, complete with crown. This is...

Hansel & Gretel: They don't call 'em GRIM for nothin'!

Thu, 22 May 2003 15:22:15 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - This story of Hansel and Gretel was the most depressing thing I have read in a long time. I mean, the ending was happy, but dang, you sure have a lot of sadness and hard times to sniffle and boo-hoo your way through to get there. I know the theme is...

I wish the 'Sidewalk' had extra squares added

Thu, 22 May 2003 14:39:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - If you are a dreamer, come in,

If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar

A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...

If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire

For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.

Come in!

Come...

The cat, and his hat, ROCK! :)

Thu, 22 May 2003 13:56:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - “The sun did not shine, it was too wet to play…”

Almost anyone nowadays can recognize (with a smile) the beginning to Dr. Suess’s “The Cat in the Hat.” In this book, Suess successfully takes a rainy day and...

Will Moses's artistic rendition of "Legend of Sleepy Hollow"

Thu, 22 May 2003 13:19:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - (I am not sure why I had to review this particular version for a college Children's Lit class versus any other of the multitude of renditions out there retelling this story, but this was the only one the course book would allow me to read for a...

Nicholas Sparks hates us all. (For the ICBWPTAT W/O)

Sun, 18 May 2003 01:30:58 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - I had no idea what I was going to do for this write off... and then, out the sky on a big wheel, this flaming pile of dog poo landed in my lap. After I put the flames out and dealt with the char, the following was composed:

...

No, you are not my Butterfly.

Wed, 14 May 2003 07:48:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - I confess I did not know the tale of Madame Butterfly, which was ultimately based on a true story of espionage, before I watched this film. At first I wanted to see this only because I am a slave to the kind of passion that Jeremy Irons puts into his...

What Rocket Scientists...??

Thu, 8 May 2003 05:51:47 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - Ok, so I know I have this annoyingly bad habit of watching movies that have been watched and BEEN reviewed eighty billion times over, but with this one I just couldn’t help my poor self.

So, it starts out with a cutesy scene of...

Enraged that I watched this movie

Tue, 6 May 2003 02:20:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - Okay, so the scenery was beautiful. But beautiful scenery does not a movie make. I mean, if they wanted to point the camera at the ocean shore alone the whole time, I would have gotten much more from it then the vague nightmares this horribly awful movie...

Behind the Art: words from the illustrators of children's books

Mon, 28 Apr 2003 08:40:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - (More Children's Lit writing... and this book hasn't been touched yet, so I'll expand, hopefully not too much but there's no way to help it here...)

When I saw this book on the non-fiction shelf, I was really excited about it...

Alliteration and Art for Water are Wondrous

Mon, 28 Apr 2003 07:07:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - Note: Once again, an offering from my Lit class I was working on tonight and found there was no review for this on Epinions, so I'm sticking it up.

This book is all about water; rivers, to be exact. I know you are probably thinking,...

Only the "First Book of Myths," surely not the last

Mon, 28 Apr 2003 06:09:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - NOTE: I was writing for that dang Children's Lit class again, had to read this book, and noticed there wasn't a review for it, so I thought, what the heck...

This book centers around a select group of myths from around the world and...

Seuss and hopeful words to live by for your future

Mon, 28 Apr 2003 04:39:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - In this book, Dr. Seuss sends a boy off on his own, to be alone in the (very colorful and interesting) Seuss world and try to make something of himself. It discusses all the bad things that can be encountered in the world and overcome, if you only try...

Smoky Night isn't scandalous, just flashy

Mon, 28 Apr 2003 03:59:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yourcloud - Smoky Night by Eve Bunting explores the Los Angeles riots through the eyes of a scared child.

I think this book did a really good job of describing a scary time and explaining it to younger children. This book is also on a list in my Eng250...
