Stresscase says "Wait for it............." about How I Met Your Mother

Stresscase — Wed, 07 May 2008 22:05:50 GMT

Here is a comedy about life. Very similar to the idea of Friends, we have a group of adults experiencing life with the support of each other. Each of the 5 characters have wonderfully charming attributes that makes you fall in love with them immediately. Of course they all have their trials and tribulations, but without those, we wouldn't have a show now would we. The main idea of the show is very similar to a "Who dunnit". How I met your Mother is you, the viewer, trying to piece together who the Mother of Ted's kids is. In the start of every show and through out it, Ted is telling his two children about his life before them. And like most kids in this situation they look bored and un-entertained! But of course every half hour of this show is blissful entertainment to the viewer. I recommend that everyone take just 30 minutes on Monday night and check out this underrated comedy, and you may find yourself coming back for more because you too wonder who is the mother? ......

Stresscase says "A story that offered endless possibilities!" about 1408

Now plenty of people are avid Stephen King readers, I am one of them. Many people are avid movie goers when John Cusack touches the big screen, I am also this person. Imagine my delight when I found out that one of my favorite actors was making a horror movie based on a short story by my all time favorite author! Now when I say short story by Stephen King, I mean short. This book story is about a man that goes to a hotel to write a review based on it's actual "scare" factor. The main character in the story is a famous book writer that dispels old haunted folklore stories and credits valid ones by staying over night in the "haunted" place. His most recent story is to be based on a night stay in "famous 1408". The hotel manager tries to dissuade him from staying in the room by telling him stories that would chill most people to the core but this skeptical writer wants in, it's his job! From the moment the writer steps onto the floor of the room he starts to be effected by......

Stresscase says "Multi cleaner, not a lie!" about Windex Multi-Surface Wipes with Vinegar

Stresscase — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 08:40:04 GMT

I have always been a freak about how my house looks. I am the person that cleans my house when you call and say that you are on your way. I have five kids and need something that can quickly solve all my clean up needs and Windex is the answer. When I was growing up, Windex was for windows only. My Aunt how ever introduced me to this product one day when I was worried about something one of my children had spilled on the carpet. She informed me that I could simply clean the carpet with this product with no residue and no smell left. How great is that I thought and ran right out and bought some. I can say that I was worried about the idea of having bleached carpet but what I quickly found was that my carpet was not bleached by this product, it was cleaned, and left a nice soft, brightened area. Of course I love this product for the rest of my home too, but I thought that this little find was something to share!!...

Stresscase says "Comforting, like the scent of clean laundry" about Febreze To Go

Stresscase — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 08:25:17 GMT

I have five children and am very concious about all scents that come with that!! Smelly diapers to stinky feet, Febreze to Go eliminates it all!! So handy for every occasion I keep this little gem everywhere!! A quick spray to the inside of the car dissapates stuffy air. Or just a spritz to freshen my living room is all I could ever ask for!! Who wouldn't want the nice calm scent that comes in this little bottle? Kudos to the makers of Febreze!!!! Such a staple in my home!...

Stresscase says "Something Wonderfully Different" about The Nines

Stresscase — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 07:46:26 GMT

Here is a movie that is not for the average movie goer. Ryan Reynolds attracts most women and men a-like these days because he is both handsome and funny, but this is unlike anything he has ever done before. Writer/Director John August brings to us three stories incredibly intertwined with an outcome that even I, a huge movie buff, could not guess. To tell you exactly what the movie is about would ruin the plot and the adventure that you embark upon once you press play. But know this, not everyone is going like this movie, it is funny, sad, heartfelt, odd, puzzling, creepy, and wonderful. It is a movie that you will want to talk about when it is over. John August even states in the commentary that this was a film that he wanted people to want to talk about. Well, watch it, and then come and talk about it!...

Stresscase says "Makes me cry every time" about The Giving Tree

Stresscase — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 07:26:44 GMT

I cannot say that I remember this book from childhood but I found it rather as an adult about to welcome a baby into the world and I fell in love. It is such an intense story about the power of love. A power that makes you give everything possible for the happiness of others. But it is also about how people can be blind for a long time, until one day they realize that you have given your everything. It shows how life can be, not always pleasant and Disney like. Of course the calm narrative and soothing pictures help make this a wonderful bedtime story to all five of my children!...

Stresscase says "Finally found what I was looking for" about LG - Venus Cell Phone

Stresscase — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 06:56:13 GMT

I am insanely impressed with this phone. I originally was looking for a different phone and was a little against the whole "slide" idea. I really wanted a bar phone, but I am SO glad that I went this route. The first time I touched this sexy little piece of machinery on the display panel I knew it had to be mine!! It has an awesome MP3 player that is as easy to use as iTunes. It also sports a little video camera that captures 30 seconds of precious life. My children think this is also very amusing and like to play and send their dad little clips of their day while he is at work. Of course the ease of the touch screen is added pleasure. I am thankful to LG for making such a beautiful phone that I can enjoy that is also functional!...

Stresscase says "You can feel the magic with your entire heart" about Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

Stresscase — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 03:08:02 GMT

I went into this movie with mixed feelings over the plot of this film. From the advertising of this feature I felt it was going to be Willy Wonka all over again. But this movie is something diffrent. It is a magic, a hope, a smile and wonder to the heart. It warmed me from the soul from the moment the movie opened in the drab basement of the Emporium. I cannot begin to explain how fabulous all of the cast members did in BEING thier characters and making you know them. I really felt like a child wanting more watching this movie. I wanted to jump up and run down the street to that quaint little toy shop that was just so much more. I would reccomend this movie to everyone and anyone who asked me. Young and old alike will fall under the spell of Mr. Magorium and his wonderful little world that he shares with us all....

Stresscase says "What? You've never seen Bad Boys 2?" about Hot Fuzz

Stresscase — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 02:58:04 GMT

I have to say first off that I was NOT even the slightest bit interested in Shaun of the Dead, but immediately upon seeing just the preview for this film I KNEW it was going to be awesome!! This movie is a broad collection of movie spoofs that you may not recognize right off the bat but one day, down the road you will see something (like the cranberry juice in the bar, name the film that came from....) and you will chuckle to yourself. I have to say that I was a bit surprised at the amount of gore that was shown in this movie but at the same time it was all the more entertaining. I think that Edgar really went above and beyond with this film. Even if you are not into British films, this is one you have got to see! Excellent!!!...
