Deeply moving, the horrors of separation
A well deserved Pulitzer Prize for Hisham Matar, who writes bravely about the terrible experiences his family faced under the Gaddafi regime and not knowing the fate of his diplomat father. It is gripping and terrifying to read how easy it was for the authorities to arrest and kill Libyans at will even on foreign soil and the complicity of western countries that allowed it to happen. Truly a harrowing and stirring read.

Hilarious
I totally loved this book. I was entirely wrapped up in what would happen and hoping for the best. The story line was excellent following a man who is left for dead on Mars and what he has to do to survive until his crew could come back to get him. There were some absolutely hilarious moments and his reactions are exactly what you would expect...being left on a foreign planet. I highly recommend this book.

A great horror drama about a girl vampire who befriends a bullied boy in Sweden, A great foreign film done on a small budget that has some great cinematography I have to add. It can be a bit slow, it's more drama than horror action, but this makes certain scenes have more of an impact. One of the better vampire films around but the emphasis is on the relationship between the two children. Check it out!

"This has to be number one because it’s the film that opened the door to foreign cinema for me. I first saw it at the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1967. I was stunned by the playful mix of romance, jazz, gangsters, and Paris. I must have seen it fifteen times since. In 1976, I played the lead in an homage to Breathless, Amos Poe’s Unmade Beds—though my connection to Belmondo sadly ends there."
