"Bloom is talking about love, yes, but there’s nothing ordinary about any of the love stories in this book. There’s always a catch, and there’s always something that takes her story into unfamiliar terrain. As I read her book, I became almost frightened to see where she’d take me next. It was always someplace I’d never been; but in the end it felt very much like home."

"Another strong stylist that I imitated for a while was a woman named Joy Williams who had a short story collection called Taking Care. She has such a singular voice. It hasn’t really changed over the years. I remember she was talking about a girl having a fantasy about her beau and she said, ‘He was feeling fine, and fancy too.’ It was such music to me."

There were some really lovely scenes in this, maybe it was the artists eye talking but things were described beautifully at times.

I wanted Foster and EJ to get together so badly by the end. They had such great chemistry and even my heart hurt a little when he said they should go back to being just friends. Everything worked out in the end, though.

Hocus pocus is one of the best magical witchy movie I have ever watched, 3 witches, 3 kids saving the day, a quick musical number with one of the best witchy songs ever, and a candle lit by a Virgin, what's not to love about this movie

Perfect

We get to see a talking dragon, which is a bonus. We get to see more great actors. See more elves and humans. Oh, and don't get me started on the fighting scenes, especially when elves are involved. That river scene, when a character was jumping on heads, was epic. Re-watched that specific scene at least 30 times. It was just that good.
