Movie Favorite

"I actually first discovered a lot of the films on this list, like News from Home, when I lived in New York, next to Kim’s Video, a time when I went a lot to Anthology Film Archives and Lincoln Center. Chantal Akerman has always been a big inspiration for me, and News from Home was the first film of hers that I saw. Watching it was so inspiring and made me feel like I could make movies myself, because it’s so simply done yet so affecting—just letters and an empty city. I have a very strong relationship with my mother, and she also used to send me letters when I lived in New York. I discovered Jeanne Dielman later, and a lot of the screen tests I did for Invisible Life were taken from frames from that film."

Merry heads to upstate New York to claim her inheritance, a castle. However, someone has been digging holes in the yard. After a public fight with Tom Turner, the hole digger, Tom winds up dead at the bottom of a new hole. Can Merry figure out why?

The book got off to a slow start with a bit too much of a back story dump. However, once the book got going, it was great with eccentric but believable characters and twists to the plot. I'm looking forward to reading more.

There's a new wealthy family at "The Gardens," a gated New York community - the Golden family. Not only do they all have strange names (straight out of ancient Roman and Greek history and mythology), but they themselves seem a bit odd. René is a fellow resident, with ambitions in filmmaking, including a project to document the Golden family, but René hasn't decided if he can tell their true story or make up something fictional based on the Goldens; either way, René can't stay away from the Golden House. You can read more about this new Salman Rushdie novel here.

Having read ÒMe Before YouÓ and cried, ÒAfter YouÓ and laughed, I was heavily anticipating how this third novel would make me feel. It follows our hapless heroine Louisa Clark to New York and a job assisting the uber-rich Gopniks. Lou is in a new city, with a new life but trying to maintain a long-distance relationship with her English boyfriend. Putting her lead character in all manner of new situations, Moyes shows the quirky, humorous side of Louisa balanced with her optimism and charm. The big question is, will Louisa Clark finally find happiness and live happily ever after? This is bound to be made into a movie, grab your tissues and read all three books first.
