"My introduction to Cassvettes. It’s an opus. I liked it but I did not love it the first time I saw it. The movie takes patience but then you realize that’s the genius of it, the imitative way it puts the audience in a kind of narrative stupor. And once you’re there, it runs you through every emotion. So good luck with that. Also, Gena Rowlands is a goddess who walks among us. Of all the tributes to Cassavetes, this is surely the most minor but . . . my cat is named Mabel. Similar behavior."

Neneh Cherry recommended Daughter of Fortune in Books (curated)

"My daughter Tyson and I went to hear Allende talk in Stockholm at Kulturhuset, which was great. I love her so much, and often think about her telling us how in the first days of January every year she starts a new book. I adore the picture of her always dressed up to the nines in heels and makeup, walking out to her shed in back of her garden... like a warrior going into battle... and then giving like people me a chance to fly with those tales... “Daughter of Fortune” is a fantastic adventure."

Kristina (502 KP) rated Too Late in Books

I'm not good with praise, because it all feels fake, but there's NO way I can NOT try to write a review! Too Late is certainly different by Colleen's standards, but I think it may be my favorite CoHo story yet. From the first page, I was hooked. The fact that I had to wait for chapters didn't stop me from becoming obsessed. I hate Asa, but as the Queen herself has said, I love to hate him. Sloan and Luke are just perfect together. Another masterpiece well done!

Movie Rating

Not much to say here as this remake is one of those rare beasts that's very good but not quite as good as the original.
The acting from the two leads is superb and the blossoming romance believable, the films pacing is also similar to the original.
Lovers of the first film may pass this one by as to not spoil their connection with it, however those not having encountered the original will be in for a treat as this vampire love story beats anything twilight has to offer.

It stars Michael j fox who is a ghost hunter, the ghost killed his gf/wife and he goes looking for this ghost and finds him to get rid of him for good, it does have a couple if funny parts in the film, the ghost has to get to the number 13 but he doesnt get there as Michael gets there first

Lucifer is always telling people that he's the devil, but no one believes him! He goes on to consult for the police, and punish those who are guilty. (0 more)

Devilishly Good

Just a great TV series. This one had me gripped from the very first episode. Yes, he is the devil, but not the devil we have always been taught about. This series will take you on highs and lows, following his own suffering and selflessness. Its hard not to fall in love with lucifer. 100% must watch programme 👏👏👏.
