Feeding Your Soul

Out of all of the new shows I had decided to watch this year, it comes as so surprise that the one show I have kept up with the most is the show from the same producers as Lost – Once Upon A Time.    The show is about a boy, Henry, who believes that his town – Storybrooke, Maine – is really the Enchanted Forest and everyone has forgotten who they are. He came to that idea from a book he was given by his teacher, Mary Margaret who Henry believes is really Snow White.   He believes his adoptive mother, Regina, is really the Evil Queen, his therapist is Jiminy Cricket, the John Doe in the hospital is Prince Charming, and the one who can save everything is Emma, his birth mother who gave him up for adoption 10 years ago. And did I mention that Henry believes Emma to be the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming?   Henry also believes that the Evil Queen cast a curse on the whole Enchanted Forest which is why they can’t remember who they are. Still with me? Good. Let’...

This is one of the ultimate questions in life - what would you do for the person you love? Would you step in front of a speeding bullet? Would you carry them on your back 100 miles to get them to safety? Would you let them go to find the truth? The is the dilemma facing Luce in the second Fallen novel by Lauren Kate - Torment . This books picks up right where Fallen left off.  Daniel is taking Luce far away from Sword and Cross, somewhere safer for the time being while Daniel and Cam have a truce of sorts and fight off the things that are coming after Luce trying to killer.  But the strangest part of the book isn't the pale, while (albino color) Outcasts are after Luce; no the strangest part is that Daniel keeps her in the dark about everything - her past, the truce he has with Cam (who is a "bad" fallen angel so on the opposite side of Daniel - they want to kill each other as seen at the end of Fallen ).  Luce is left to herself and her new friends at Shoreline (...

I will admit. One of the only reasons I started watching this show is because of Sarah Michelle Gellar. I loved her when she was Buffy (and to me she always will be Buffy) and was thrilled when I heard she was returning to television. When I read what the premise of her show was, I was even more intrigued and happy because this show sounded like something I would watch no matter who was the lead. The plot of Ringer is Bridget, a recovering addict and alcoholic is in the witness protection following a murder she witnessed by a well-known crime boss who has never been caught because he has all of the witnesses killed. Bridget doesn’t think she will live to see the court appearance so she disappears, to her identical twin sister Siobhan’s place in the Hamptons. There, they reminisce and a little more back-story is given as to why these two sister’s are estranged (I believe Bridget was high or drunk and drove a car with her nephew, Siobhan’s son in it and killed him but nothing has been m...

I finished this book in early August but it has taken me this long to put my thoughts about this book on paper.   Let me start with the recap. The book starts off introducing the main male character, Mikhail Blomkvist who is ending his trial for slander against a very powerful businessman. He loses the case and his reputation begins to dwindle as does his publication, Millennium.   He gets a strange phone call from the lawyer of an even more powerful businessman who has a job offer for him – to solve the 30 year mystery disappearance of his niece.   Mikhail accepts the offer, albeit reluctantly at first and begins his journey into the land of the Vanger family and corporation.   A parallel storyline introduces the real character, Lisbeth Salander. She is the girl with the dragon tattoo and that is as far as someone gets to knowing the real her. She is a loner (for good reason) and a sociopath. She doesn’t dwell on issues too much unless those issues are hurtful eith...

How long do you hang on to the memory of a deceased loved one? In the book, it was 13 years; the movie was only 5 but that is 5 years of hanging on too long. The movie is Charlie St. Cloud starring Zac Efron. For 5 years Charlie holds onto his younger brother who died in a car accident while Charlie was driving. For 5 years, Charlie plays catch everyday at sunset with the ghost of his brother and his own life gets put on hold. That life included a boating/racing scholarship to Stanford and an amazing future in the racing world. But he gave all of that up for a promise he made to his little brother. Then (as per most stories like this) a girl who is another boat racer walks into Charlie’s life and he has to choose between the promise he made to Sam and possibly the woman of his dreams. Letting go is probably one of the hardest things to do, especially when you have to let go of someone that you hold dear and don’t want to forget about.   The predicament here is that no matter what ...

Hello Everyone! I have been slacking big time on my blogging duties so I apologize. I know you love to read about all that I am reading, watching, playing, etc.  Well, I have good news for you all! I am in the midst of finishing my 11th book on my list of 26 to read in 2011 and I am finally seeing a new movie this week so keep a look out for that review (guesses on which movie are welcome!) I also have been busy because I recently got engaged at the beginning of June so I have been busy planning and imagining what my wedding will be like. It is very exciting! So keep a look out in the next week or so for at least 1 new post about either the book or the movie I am going to see. I will get back on track....I promise!
