appears that goes beyond the hardware and advice and offers a deeper insight into what really motivates people to build, fix and create things, and begins a conversation about what such endeavours mean for ordinary people who are drawn to and realise "do-it-yourself" lives. George Ehrenhaft has written what could only be called an affectionate book about a group of owner/builders around the US and their true tales, often in their own words, about not only what they have done and how, but also why they did it in the first place. There are stories of serious builders and weekend hobbyists, connected on an almost spiritual level by the desire to make or keep a roof over their heads, the willingness to jump into projects inexperienced and learn by doing, learn by making mistakes, learn from friends, professionals, and books, from blood, sweat, toil and tears, and finally by success itself. You'll meet, among others, the Connecticut architect and his "city-girl" wife who lived in a tent for a year while building their dream home, a flautist for the Boston Symphony who renovates commercial real estate in his spare time and a divorced mother of three who rebuilt her life as she built her home. Their experiences, insights, observations and perspectives are revealing and moving. Ehrenhaft's exploration is inspirational, laugh-out-loud funny in places, touching and simply a great read as a study of a fascinating group of dedicated "weekend builders." This book is a rare gem, written in a warm, articulate and absorbing style--a great gift for any do-it-yourselfer who also loves to read. Also, for that matter, anyone at all who enjoys a good story about human inspiration and the creative urge. --Mark A. Hetts

The Craft.
A story of witchcraft and revenge.
Four girls Nancy, Sarah, Bonnie and Rachelle who don,t quite fit in at their strict catholic school.
The four girls come to terms with their powers and as they grow the evil released soon becomes too much for them to control and people around them will soon begin to suffer .
The film surprised me at being actually very good. the acting was again superb and the plot was decent. the story moved along at at good pace and the ending was expected.
Nothing new in this film but it delivered a watchable film.
Worth your time if it comes on TV.

Advantages: It has teenage witches and stuff so it must be cool Disadvantages: It isn't bad, but could've done better with the material
Andrew Fleming (director)?s 1996 teen-witch film ?The Craft? was one I?d been looking forward to seeing for some time and I finally caught it on TV recently. It?s a difficult one to categorise though ? it doesn?t quite fit in with teen-horrors like Scream, but nor is it the more straightforward teen flick about dating (e.g. American Pie). In fact, in a fairly loose sense, it?s like a cross between the two!
In case you aren?t familiar with the film at all, the ?craft? referred to in the title is witchcraft. The film centres around four schoolgirls practising magic, in a somewhat Willow-from-Buffy (or, dare I say it) Sabrina fashion.
(Watch out for plot elements in the next four paragraphs)
