EMILY IN PARIS – Review by Susan Granger

October 14, 2020October 14, 2020 Susan Granger 0 Comments emily in paris, lily collins, netflix, series

Since the definition of a “guilty pleasure” is a cheesy movie/TV program that one enjoys, despite feeling that it’s not generally held in high regard, this new Netflix series fits that perfectly. It’s a fabulous fantasy of fashion, glamour and romance as seen through the eyes of 20-something Emily Cooper (Lily Collins), a junior ‘social media marketing’ executive at Savoir who, when her boss unexpectedly gets pregnant, is transferred from Chicago to the boutique agency her company recently acquired in Paris.

TOLKIEN – Review by Brandy McDonnell

May 10, 2019May 12, 2019 Brandy McDonnell 0 Comments biopic, J.R.R. Tolkien, lily collins, Nicholas Hoult

Although the almost two-hour run time feels too long, the repetitive film also reveals too little about J.R.R. Tolkien (Nicholas Hoult). It omits some intriguing details about the origins of his stories, runs others into the ground and leaves tantalizing topics like his relationship with fellow author C.S. Lewis unexplored.

TOLKIEN – Review by Martha K Baker

Tolkien covers The Early Years Plus. For those Hobbit fans vertically deep in the fellowship of the ring, it’s good to look at Tolkien himself. The Finnish director Dome Karukoski has paid homage to the brilliant philologist and fantastic John Ronald Ruel Tolkien with this imaginative and intense biography.

"Documentary-like in its candor, [#TheWorstOnes] is also touchingly tender as it captures a memorable summer in its characters’ lives."
