Just a gathering
of my book
and movie reviews
from recent years.
These are my Book and Movie reviews I have written for Goodreads, Amazon, and IMDb. They are mostly Women’s fiction and mysteries in books, because that’s what I read now. In movies, I usually only review TV movies, where my thoughts don’t get lost in the shuffle among hundreds of others. Most of what I read and watch have one thing in common: They have upbeat hopeful endings with justice prevailing and closure achieved. Call me crazy.

By Sally Hepworth “What do you think happened to Ishaan, Ms. Fitzpatrick?” Baldy says, adopting a patronizing, kindly voice.It feels like a remarkably ridiculous question. “I think he got dicked by the dangling dong of destiny, that’s what I think.’ I guess I’m kind of a cheap date as far as books are concerned. If…
The Greek Aisle
Who Ate the Baklava? This was set on the beautiful Island of Corfu, Greece. There was not much of a plot because the gorgeous photography of not only the countryside, but the picturesque little seaside town held center stage. And The Food. Many scenes took place in a family restaurant or in the kitchen and the…
