(“Oops, there goes Pip.”) Otto flies a plane up to rescue Pip (“Hurry, Otto, Hurry”), but they crash (and splash) in front of some hippos with another big balloon, and the story ends as it begins, with a droll “See Pip point.” Milgrim again succeeds in the difficult challenge of creating a real, funny story with just a few simple words. ![]() (Pip seems to be in that I-point-and-I-want-it phase common with one-year-olds.) The big purple balloon is large enough to carry Pip up and away over the clouds, until Pip runs into Zee the bee. ![]() ![]() The simple plot involves a large balloon that Otto kindly shares with Pip after the mouse has a rather funny pointing attack. In his third beginning reader about Otto the robot, Milgrim ( See Otto, 2002, etc.) introduces another new friend for Otto, a little mouse named Pip. ![]()

![]() ![]() At dance battles, no one cares what she looks like or what she’s wearing on her head, only the dance skills matter. She puts no effort into classes, but rather spends her time after school with her brother, learning to break dance, where she can lose herself in the music and training. Even though Shirin wears the hijab of her own accord, she is tired of the rudeness and having to explain herself even to those who attempt to kindly interact with her. She refused to stop wearing her hijab and it makes her an easy target of hate. She has faith in no one after facing a barge of racist comments sputtered at her, and even a horrible attack of physical violence. Unlike her older brother, who skates by easily with his good looks and charisma, Shirin is dealing with a lot of anger and tries in every way possible to avoid interaction with the other students. ![]() It’s one year after the tragedy of 9/11 and Shirin, a Muslim teenager is about to start a new school in yet another small town. ![]() ![]() ![]() She becomes the matriarch of the Tudor destiny after a series of intrigue. ![]() Now Elizabeth must choose her allies - and husband - wisely, and fight for her right to rule.

The captivating new historical novel from Alison Weir, Sunday Times bestselling author of the Six Tudor Queens series. ![]() ![]() He wrote more than 15 books, including his annual movie yearbook. The program was retitled Ebert & Roeper and the Movies in 2000.Įbert's movie reviews were syndicated to more than 200 newspapers in the United States and abroad. After Siskel's death in 1999, he auditioned several potential replacements, ultimately choosing Richard Roeper to fill the open chair. He was known for his weekly review column (appearing in the Chicago Sun-Times since 1967, and later online) and for the television program Siskel & Ebert at the Movies, which he co-hosted for 23 years with Gene Siskel. Roger Joseph Ebert was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American film critic and screenwriter. Once again wonderfully enhanced by stills selected by Mary Corliss, former film curator at the Museum of Modern Art, The Great Movies II is a treasure trove for film lovers of all persuasions, an unrivaled guide for viewers, and a book to return to again and again. ![]() ![]() ![]() Neither a snob nor a shill, Ebert manages in these essays to combine a truly populist appreciation for today's most important form of popular art with a scholar's erudition and depth of knowledge and a sure aesthetic sense. Continuing the pitch-perfect critiques begun in The Great Movies, Roger Ebert's The Great Movies II collects 100 additional essays, each one of them a gem of critical appreciation and an amalgam of love, analysis, and history that will send readers back to films with a fresh set of eyes and renewed enthusiasm-or perhaps to an avid first-time viewing. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I can then quote Picasso who said that the worst thing one can do is try to explain art. I can take the easy and safe road and say that this is simply my opinion. I am sure that by now you are itching to ask me “Why? What’s the big deal?” If it still has the powerful effect that it has on me now, then it will end up on my top 3 best movies ever list. So I have to let it sink, digest it slowly and watch it again a few years from now. I also found it addictive: I saw it once on Saturday and had to go watch it again on Sunday.Ĭloud Atlas easily fits in my top 10 list of the best films that I have ever seen. I found it refreshing not only intellectually but also spiritually. It is everything that a great film should be. (It puts out all the clues that you need to find the treasure yet it makes you earn it.) It is intellectually challenging and spiritually rewarding. …It has comedy, tragedy, suspense, drama, action and romance. It is profound, artistic, unconventional, avant-garde, ambitious, smart, unique, brave, stimulating, epic, challenging, inspiring, transcendent and transcending. Cloud Atlas is the best movie that I have seen in a long time. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ironically, Alexander's shortcomings as an author make the book more valuable now than it would be otherwise. There are pages and pages where Alexander does nothing but quote lengthy letters in their entirety. It is useful, however, because it quotes extensively from various correspondence to and from Roddenberry. The book's appendix does not have any dates more specific than 1968 for the script, either.ĭavid Alexander's book is an exercise in hagiography, and it's not particularly well-written (Alexander will often get facts and even dates wrong to flatter his subject, and will excuse Roddenberry's bad behavior and then criticize others for the exact same actions, etc.). David Alexander's biography suggests there was a script, but the only primary source quoted (a June 1968 letter to Isaac Asimov) mentions a "script treatment," not a screenplay. Regarding Tarzan, I know that Roddenberry completed a lengthy outline (~100 pages), which can be found buried in the UCLA special collections, but I've never seen a script. ![]() Click to expand.As a general rule, any of the Van Hise Star Trek books are crap. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sad for Coriane because she didn’t get to see her son grow up and died too early. Angry at Elara because she destroyed Coriane’s life. But no matter how many times I read this novella, it always leaves me feeling so sad and angry. It makes it that much more heartbreaking when Cal reads her diary in War Storm. Her romance with Tibe was heartwarming and seeing characters such as Julian and Sara, and even Cal himself, through Coriane’s eyes was also such a lovely touch. I felt such a deep level of sympathy for her because she was clearly unhappy and depressed. This novella is one of my favourites, mostly because I loved Coriane’s character. But there’s a difference between a single candle in darkness and a sunrise.” “She was happy, yes, in her own way, as best as she knew. The novella shows how she went from being a girl of a lowly High House to the Queen of Norta. Queen Song is the first previously published novella and takes place before the events of the Red Queen series and follows Cal’s mother, Coriane. It features two previously published novellas, Queen Song and Steel Scars, and three brand-new novellas, and contains a few extras such as maps, flags and journal entries written by Julian. And certainly not the lure of a young man with bronze eyes and a broken throne.”īroken Throne is a collection of novellas that take place before, during and after the events of the Red Queen series. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It's time for them to decide what's most important-hockey or love.
