Dracula winona ryder5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Inspired by the photo, the Count imprisons Harker and sets forth for London on a reign of seduction and terror to find his lost love. However, the Count happens upon a photograph of Harker's betrothed Mina Murray (Winona Ryder) who strongly resembles the undead vampire's lover, Elisabeta, who died centuries ago. Plot: In 1897, young lawyer Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves) travels to gloomy Transylvania to close a deal on 10 London properties purchased by Count Dracula (Gary Oldman). Two years previously, however, it was Francis Ford Coppola who reimagined Bram Stoker's lengendary tale of Dracula and he done so with some of the most visually impressive work he's ever produced. ![]() Under the watchful eye of director Mike Nichols, Jack Nicholson put his spin on the werewolf in 1994's Wolf while Kenneth Branagh managed to convince Robert DeNiro to take on the lead in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (also in 1994). During the early 90's there was a reinvigoration for classic horror characters that were tackled by some of the most reputable names in the movie business. ![]()

Singoalla by Viktor Rydberg5/13/2023 ![]() Only the Swedish version has been restored and reissued. There are three versions: the Swedish (over 100 minutes), the American/British (cut down to 63 minutes), and the French (over 100 minutes, with a different actor playing Erland). The film has wonderful scenes in the countryside, at the castle, and at the gypsy camp and besides the love story, viewers will also enjoy medieval fight scenes with knives and bows & arrows. Many things go wrong for the romantic star-crossed lovers. Erland is similar to Hamlet in many ways - lonely, unhappy, brooding. It is based on a Swedish legend of a young nobleman in a castle, Erland (Alf Kjellin), who falls in love with a gypsy girl, Singoalla (Viveca Lindfors). It deserves to have the same reputation as Cocteau's La belle et la bête (1946). ![]() Singoalla (original title) is a visually stunning film with a haunting score, truly a lost classic. ![]() After the fire by will hill5/13/2023 ![]() The Lord will keep them safe and bring them glorious victory. ![]() ‘It corrupts and seduces, and its darkness seeps into even the purest heart.’ Days revolve around domesticity and preparing for ‘End Times,’ when the group members will ascend to Heaven on pillars of light. Moonbeam knows no life outside The Holy Church of The Lord’s Legion and its formidable leader, Father John. Events unfold through the eyes of Moonbeam, a teenage girl at the heart of the drama. This highly original novel has scooped the YA Book Prize 2018, and is undoubtedly the best book I’ve reviewed so far this year. ![]() What happens to the child survivors of a brainwashing cult?

Loosely based on the Waco siege of 1993, After the Fire by Will Hill is a stunning depiction of the lead-up to and aftermath of an armed siege on a Texan cult compound. ![]() The science of willpower kelly mcgonigal5/13/2023 ![]() Her audio series The Neuroscience of Change (Sounds True 2012) weaves the newest findings of science with Eastern contemplative wisdom to give listeners a revolutionary process for personal transformation. Her most recent book, The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do to Get More of It(Penguin 2012), explores the latest research on motivation, temptation, and procrastination, as well as what it takes to transform habits, persevere at challenges, and make a successful change. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kelly McGonigal, PhD, is a health psychologist and lecturer at Stanford University, and a leading expert in the new field of “science-help.” She is passionate about translating cutting-edge research from psychology, neuroscience, and medicine into practical strategies for health, happiness, and personal success. ![]() The guinevere deception book 35/12/2023 ![]() ![]() And always, in the green hearts of forests and the black depths of lakes, magic lies in wait to reclaim the land. ![]() ![]() To keep Arthur safe, Guinevere must navigate a court in which the old–including Arthur’s own family–demand things continue as they have been, and the new–those drawn by the dream of Camelot–fight for a better way to live. She is a changeling, a girl who has given up everything to protect Camelot. ![]() The catch? Guinevere’s real name–and her true identity–is a secret. and his protector from those who want to see the young king’s idyllic city fail. With magic clawing at the kingdom’s borders, the great wizard Merlin conjured a solution–send in Guinevere to be Arthur’s wife. Princess Guinevere has come to Camelot to wed a stranger: the charismatic King Arthur. Opening line: There was nothing in the world as magical and terrifying as a girl on the cusp of womanhood. Sadly, pretty much everything about this book ended up being lame and left me feeling very “meh”. The setup – Guinevere is dead and our protagonist is an impostor taking over her place – sounded exciting enough. So I thought why not see what White does with Arthurian legends. I had read one of Kiersten White’s books last year for the Retellings Challenge and, while I thought it missed the point of being about Egyptian myths, it was a nice enough teen romance. ![]() Shrubsole who owns england5/12/2023 ![]() Guy Shrubsole, author of the book in which the figures are revealed, Who Owns England?, argues that the findings show a picture that has not changed for centuries. “Land is a source of wealth, it impacts on house prices, it is a source of food and it can provide enjoyment for millions of people.” “It’s simply not right that aristocrats, whose families have owned the same areas of land for centuries, and large corporations exercise more influence over local neighbourhoods – in both urban and rural areas – than the people who live there. Jon Trickett, Labour MP and shadow minister for the Cabinet Office, hailed the significance of the findings and called for a full debate on the issue, adding: “The dramatic concentration of land ownership is an inescapable reminder that ours is a country for the few and not the many. But a combination of the development of digital maps and data as well as pressure from campaigners has made it possible to assemble the shocking statistics. ![]() While land has long been concentrated in the hands of a small number of owners, precise information about property ownership has been notoriously hard to access. ![]() ![]() Major owners include the Duke of Buccleuch, the Queen, several large grouse moor estates, and the entrepreneur James Dyson. ![]() The figures show that if the land were distributed evenly across England’s population, each person would have just over half an acre – an area roughly half the size of Parliament Square in central London. ![]() The matarese5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() Ashland, MA.ĭonations in Alice’s name may be made to the Ashland Garden Club or Federated Church of Ashland.
