Compelling story

Jessica Chastain

If you lived in the USA after 9/11, the fact that Osama bin Laden was alive was like an open wound. Many Americans felt like there would never be closure to the events at the World Trade Center until he was brought to justice.

The sheer persistence of the CIA and the Justice Department in never giving up even after years of trying to hunt him down and tragedy within their own ranks is a testament to American will, drive and ambition.

Whatever your personal feelings on torture, this film walks the line of being objective and lets the viewer draw their own conclusions.

Very compelling film.

The story of young Veda Sultanfuss (Chlumsky) who is coming of age during the summer goes through a ton of mixed feelings and emotions with her friend Thomas (Caulkin) in this coming of age story. Harry Sultenfuss (Aykryod) owns and runs a funeral parlor and is still morning his wife finds a new love interest in Shelly (Curtis) and Shelly has try try to win over Veda and try to act like her mom. This a true family story and one to not watch alone.

This movie has one of the saddest endings of all time and I can't watch it with out balling my eyes each and every time.

Beautifully illustrated and a simple

This is a great start in explaining trans gendered to children, whither the feelings are theirs, or someone in their social group. It’s extremely simpleized, which I think is great for the age it’s geared towards. I do think there needs to be some explanation of what a “Vixen”. Vincent talks about his brothers and sisters, but they are always described as a fox. But the ending line is “Vincent grew up and lived happily as Vincent the Vixen” with no explanation of why that is important. The illustrations help greatly with the concept, but I think it needs to be in words as well.

Mar 7, 2020

Sofia Bingham needs a job, and working for her childhood friend and tycoon, Eric Jenner, is the perfect solution. But Eric is grown up now and tempting as hell! When attraction turns into an unforgettable night of passion, Sofia wants to go back to business. But Eric is determined to convince her he’s playing for keeps…
This book fits into the standard “m&b” mould... will they, won’t they, they did... fall in love, fight, get married...
well written, and surprisingly focusing more on the feelings of Eric, and what he wants out of life, it followed the pattern, and ended with a happily ever after. Okay short read, but didn’t blow my mind.
