This is the story of Framboise – no, not a bottle of raspberry liqueur (thank heavens), but rather the woman by that name from a farm on the river Loire in the French village of Les Laveuses. This is partially the story of Framboise’s troubled childhood with her brother (named Casis), sister (Reine-Claude) and especially her unwell and widowed mother (who was, of course, an amazing cook) during the years of WWII and Nazi occupied France. It is also the story of her no less troubling old age – accounted from the time she returns to the village in her ‘retirement’, in order to open a creperie. You can read the rest of my review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/02/22/the-last-squeeze-is-the-sweetest/

Ask anyone to name Keanu Reeves best action movies, and there's a very good chance they'll name either The Matrix series, Speed or this: John Wick.

Essentially a revenge movie (and following the events of the first movie), John Wick is forced out of retirement by a blood oath to carry out an assassination against a high profile target, with the individual doing so then putting out a hit against John - aka The Boogeyman - himself. This film, then, takes the opportunity to build the world in which John Wick inhabits, in particular the role of the chain of the Continental Hotels, in which no blood can be spilt under threat of becoming excommunicado (and thus setting up John Wick chapter 3)
