鬼婆 [Onibaba] (1964)
1964 | Fantasy, Horror, Thriller
7.4 (5 Ratings)
Movie Favorite

"In fourteenth-century Japan, amid a civil war, a mother and daughter trap and kill soldiers, steal their possessions, and trade them for food. Then it gets weird. Hikaru Hayashi’s sparse soundtrack is all taiko drums, horn blasts, and guttural yelling. Perfect."

Jamaica Kincaid | 2002 | Fiction & Poetry, Romance
10.0 (1 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"This is a nuanced and powerful novel about growing up, the mother-daughter relationship, female identity, sexuality, cultural dissonance, privilege, poverty and the pernicious legacy of colonialism. Kincaid’s style is both immediate and headily intense. A glinting, multifaceted work within relatively so few pages."

Gilmore Girls  - Season 1
Gilmore Girls - Season 1
2000 | Comedy, Drama

"My first time watching the series, though I remember my elder sister being obsessed with it. Honestly, it feels very calming and self-loving to listen to a mother and daughter duo discuss coffee and the intricacies of Billy Idol’s pout on his album cover. Simpler times."

House Broken There a family mystery that Geneva does not understand. Thing go from bad to worse once her mother has an accident and need to recuperate. Geneva is relaxant to do so. Her husband convenience her to bring her mother in to stay.

There mother had to do something about it to stop what was going on. That thing see had to do is something Paris and her mother could not forgive her for it.
 
Ella and Charlies get themselves in trouble as well. Things gets worse after their grandmother comes to stay for a little while. Things start to startle Geneva while her mother starts to put some things together. It a fun read but not for children. It deals with teenage things and adult things. My rating is a  5/5 stars.

Even if you've seen the movie - I still recommend reading the story! It's a sonnet to true friends, and family (especially mother-daughter dynamics), the scars of abusive relationships, and how these all intertwined can shape and change everyone involved. It's also funny! :)

Siddalee delves into her mothers past, curious about the Ya-Ya Sisters and their secrets. She finds out so much about her mother, and in addition, about herself. Her mother just might grow up a little along the way as well.

I love the Ya-Ya stories and I re-read them often, hoping Rebecca Wells might just write another!

Loved this movie from start to finish. The fiery red headed princess who doesn't need a man to show her worth, the trials and tribulations between mother and daughter which ends with such love and respect for each other. Would 1000% recommend seeing this movie.

Interesting story
Okay, so essentially this book is about a crazed mother who has trained her daughter to do one thing: get revenge on someone who broke her heart. There are many twists and turns, and sometimes you will probably be like “what the heck am I reading?”, but it kept me hooked and turning the pages.
