"I’m always interested in the untold stories of Hollywood. Usually you get to hear them from real estate agents, hairdressers, makeup people…. but you never really see them on screen or on television because Hollywood does not like movies or television shows about itself. But Jacqueline did."

"I’m a total sci-fi freak, particularly when it comes to Arnie and machine guns. It’s just brilliant — genius. ‘Give those people air,’ and all that. I just love it. I love the mutants too. It’s like an old comic book that’s been turned into a film."

"for the way it showed her an example of an era and a political figure who acted sanely and in the best interest of others; a significant portrait of people in leadership roles who tirelessly devote themselves to progressive political change, and that change is possible."

Christopher Logue | 2017 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"“War Music,” a collection of Logue’s poetic "account" of the “Iliad,” has some real goosebump moments. Logue didn't know Greek and unlike Homer, he's not really interested in people or feelings; but he is brilliant at evoking colors, movement, and the awe-inspiring apparition of the divine."

"I thought that was good. People compare us to them so much, so I don't listen to them too much in case we pick them up. But god rest his soul - he was a man who stuck to his formula and you've got to respect that."

Jane Austen, Tim Luscombe | 2012 | Film & TV
7.7 (12 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"I’d definitely need some Jane Austen on a desert island, so I choose her most complex book. Lots of people (including Austen’s mother) find the heroine Fanny “insipid,” but as a shy person I identify with her and love how she learns to speak up for herself."

Some people lead quiet lives, and when the goodness of it ends, they only want to leave it all behind, but sometimes life itself gets in the way. Read my revised review of this heartwarming book here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/06/28/conditions-of-the-heart/

Twisted
Very entertaining "psycho(s)" film. Good acting and cinematography. A very dark storyline that keeps you guessing up to the end. Not big budget but great performances in this British tale of cunningly evil people. A good add to any Halloween movie list. Worth a watch!

If you are after laughter, beautiful and incredibly stupid British reality show celebs, this show is great. People are trying to get laid as much as possible, shagging each other in the house and creating drama when their exes arrive. Very stupid show, but incredibly entertaining. 😝
