Ever After (1998, dir. Andy Tennant)
“In all my years of study, not one tutor ever demonstrated the passion you have shown me in the last two days. You have more conviction in one memory than I have... in my entire being.”
Cinderella was real. Find her in Da Vinci’s yellowed sketches: a downcast, gentle gaze.
Love roots between gilded thievery and servant lies, a tryst of two kindred minds. Imprisoned, yet headstrong, they learn softness, compromise, & trust.
Against societal chains sprouts the most retold fairytale in the world.
Laugh. Swoon… Believe.

Oppenheimer (2023, dir. Christopher Nolan)
Everybody sucked & the plot hinged on manufactured drama with RDJ’s character. Oppenheimer knew what he was doing & I have no sympathy for his guilt. “I am become Death…” Hubris cannot simultaneously be punished & celebrated.

Winnie the Pooh
I have shared four children's books written by A.A. Milne and his very best friend. He wrote all these stories for his son Christopher Robin. Winnie the Pooh is also known as Edward Bear or as Christopher Robin sometimes called him Silly Old Bear. There are some friendships real and imaginary that last a lifetime and this friendship is one of them.

Imagine Love A Novel
Katherine Stone has written a romance novel entitled 'Imagine Love' A Novel. This is a story that travels from the United States to Great Britain back to the United States. The story of Cole and Claire and a relationship with music that is personal and professional. The story starts with Cole taking his baby brother to safety but telling everyone that he died. The other story that is interrelated to Cole and Claire's story is the one that deals with Lady Sarah Pembroke and the relationship with a Jack Dalton who will have a surprise for all. This is a story that mainly takes place around Christmas Eve and New Years Day. Katherine Stone is quite descriptive in her characters, settings in the story and plot dealings that will have you reading to see what happens to a country singer of love songs to his cherished girlfriend and even his two-year-old brother he said died.

I just watched this movie with my youngest last night. Using the quote in the subtitle was brilliant. Da Vinci was my favorite character I loved the humor, personality they portrayed him with.
