The Lord of the Rings: The Cinematic Trilogy
A literary fantasy well translated
A movie is never the same as the book--yet can render its own full world. Peter Jackson’s vision of Middle Earth accomplishes this through enthralling sets, admirable heroes and heroines, terrible villains, and inspired scenes of comradeship, battle, and hard-won peace. Add in homage to imaginary languages and histories.

Hey You Guys!!!!
Who remembers learning about phonics on a children's show known as 'The Electric Company"? Back in the seventies on PBS there was an educational show by this name that had famous actors like Rita Moreno and Morgan Freeman and a few others too. This was a show that taught us the rules of phonics and sounding out letters and words. There were fun skits live and animated throughout the show showing and telling each skill. There were lessons on blends as well as on hard and soft sounds. This show made learning to read fun. This was one show that I watched, I believe made me a reader for life for just see for now I am a book reviewer.

Two Wrinkles In Time
It is pointless to run, my darling, because sixty seconds ago, I will kill you. My blade will have sliced reality open right in front of you. It will have first pierced it as it would a bed sheet left hanging to dry, flapping in the wind on a Sunday afternoon. But the metal will have drawn a line in the air that the ghostly tear will have followed. Then I, La Dyablès, machete firmly in hand, will have emerged from what your mind, at the time, could only interpret as the other side of here—whatever that means to you. I know. I have seen that look on the faces of countless unlucky… clients. You will not have been the first nor the last to try and reneg on a riches for soul contract only to present this visage to me when I come to collect.
