REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: scünci® bendini™ clips - ENDS 4/11 (CLOSED)
A new and easy way to dress up your hair - just bend and snap!
I don't know a woman who does not want to look great, especially when going out in public. But when you are working hard at your job and/or taking care of kids, sometimes your own appearance goes to the back burner. So when new products come out that allow us ladies to look great without a lot of work, I have to tell you about them.
Last November, I did a review of a scünci Upzing Double Combs which allowed me to have an elegant french roll hairdo without all the pinning. Now scünci has another new product that is perfect for adding a bit of sparkle to hair for special occasions or just any day -- scünci® bendini™ clips!
scünci® bendini™ clips are jewelry for your hair that work on almost any hair length and texture. The scünci bendini is available in three different sizes and a variety of styles, including jeweled crystals, colorful beads and metallics. It’s also available in the special scünci “girl” line designed especially for the young fashionistas.
To use the scünci bendini clip, start with gathering your hair in the desired style. Slide the bendini comb into the hair, and bend and snap it securely in place for an all-day hold.
The bendini clip are now hitting shelves at drug, mass and grocery stores nationwide starting at a suggested retail price of about $4.99 per pack. Watch the video below to see the scünci® bendini™ clips in action....

MOVIE REVIEW: Hop
"Hop" takes us into the magical world of the Easter Bunny, which is admittedly similar to Santa's Workshop, it seems: there is a gigantic factory where the candy is made, and then the Easter Bunny delivers it to the children of the world on Easter. What some may not know, however, is that the rabbits behind Easter can talk, and some even have ambitions to be more than "just" the Easter Bunny.
MOVIE REVIEW: Source Code
With some movies, if you try analyzing the science behind them, you'll find that it may not match up with "rules" the movie has previously set for itself. "Source Code" is one of those films, but it still manages to provide a detailed story that will not fail to entertain its audiences.
Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal, "Love and Other Drugs") wakes up on a train in the body of someone named Sean. A woman called Christina (Michelle Monaghan, "Due Date") is sitting across from him, and appears to know him. Stevens has no idea what is going on. Eight minutes later, the train blows up, and he is bounced back to "reality," a small, confined space where a woman (Vera Farmiga, "Up in the Air") is asking him how his mission went. He is soon told that this train blew up at 7:30am CST this morning near Chicago, and a second attack is imminent; they need his help to go into the "source code" that a scientist (Jeffrey Wright, "Cadillac Records") has created and find both the bomb and the bomber. The train bombing itself cannot be prevented but the next attack might be, if he can find the bomber in time.
Yes, see this film. This movie kind of reminded me of "Groundhog Day," if that film had been sci-fi. It was definitely interesting, and Jake Gyllenhaal does a great job as the main character in the film, as well as Vera Farmiga and Michelle Monaghan as his co-stars. The movie was definitely intriguing, and as Gyllenhaal's character learns more about his "mission" and what actually happened to him in his real life that placed him in this position, the plot gets more and more complex. The ending is a bit of a mind-bender but it is one that I definitely enjoyed.
"Source Code" is in theaters today, April 1st.

I was fortunate enough to see this film back on January 26, at the Sundance USA premiere at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor. I had been told that Paul Giamatti and Tom McCarthy, the director, would be at the screening, but unfortunately neither of them could make it. Instead, however, we were treated to a Q&A with the producer of the film, Mary Jane Skalski, who is a University of Michigan alum (an English major, actually) and who lives in Michigan and will be shooting an upcoming project here as well.
"Win Win" tells the story of Mike Flaherty (Paul Giamatti, "Barney's Version"), a lawyer who has two kids with wife Jackie (Amy Ryan, TV's "The Office"). Money is tight, and so when Mike gets the opportunity to become a "guardian" to one of his clients who is in the early stages of dementia, which involves a stipend of $1,500 a month, he jumps at the opportunity, and instead sticks the guy, Leo (Burt Young, "New York, I Love You"), in an assisted living home and pockets the money. The problems start when Leo's grandson, Kyle (newcomer Alex Shaffer), arrives on Leo's doorstep, wanting to stay with him since he and his drug-addicted mom (Melanie Lynskey, TV's "Two and a Half Men") had a falling out. Mike and his wife agree to let Kyle stay with them, at least until they can get in touch with his mom, and Mike soon discovers an added bonus: Kyle can wrestle. In fact, Kyle is a GREAT wrestler, which is good for Mike, because he is the coach of the rather pathetic high school wrestling team.
This movie was a good combination of laughs and serious moments. Amy Ryan (TV's "The Office") was great as Jackie, Giamatti's wife in the film, and one of the more hilarious characters was Terry (Bobby Canavale, TV's "Blue Bloods"), who is one of Giamatti's best friends who later becomes an assistant wrestling coach. Jeffrey Tambor ("Tangled") also has a nice supporting role as the other assistant wrestling coach, whose son used to be on the team but eventually quit. All of the supporting players in this movie help make the movie what it is, and they all work really well together.
Yes, see this movie. It starts off rather hilariously with a child saying a choice swear word (nothing too bad, though), and it keeps that tone of hilarity throughout, even when addressing serious topics. Giamatti is at the top of his game in this movie, as are his co-stars, which is what makes the movie so great. Going in to the movie, I knew it was a comedy, but I didn't think it would be as funny as it was, and that turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
"Win Win" will be out in theaters on March 19th.
