My Picks of the Week! (1st October 2013)


 Hello, my lovely Muses!

I'm alive!!! Yes, it's been about a month since I last posted anything on my blog. I had a bit of a rough summer. In early September, I had to fly out to Colorado to be in my best friend's wedding, then start back to work (teaching), so things have been a bit hectic as of late. October is a new month, so I figured not to get so bent out of shape about I losing a whole month of blogging.

Anyway, October is here and with it some pretty cool releases. In Adult books, Caris Roane gives us a new hot series to get addicted to with the release of Born in Chains, book 1 in the Men in Chains series. Fans of J.R. Ward will be happy with Possession, book 5 in the Fallen Angels series. In Young Adult, Skulk by Rosie Best sounds really intriguing and unique. And last but definitely not least, NY Times best selling author, Simone Elkeles, smolders with her new novel, Wild Cards, the first in a new series!

In Movies, Disney's The Little Mermaid finally comes out of the vault for awhile, this time available on blu-ray and dvd. If you are looking for a good comedy, check out This is the End, starring James Franco, Seth Rogan and friends. Finally, in TV Series, the CW's Beauty and the Beast: Season 1 will be available on dvd. If you are a fan of Guy Pearce, definitely check out Jack Irish: Series 1, an Australian drama based on Peter Temple's award winning novels.

Hoping to have a new review posted this week. Until then, enjoy!

Best Wishes,

Little Mermaid, The (Out of the Vault!)

Directed by: John Musker

Starring: n/a

From the moment that Prince Eric's ship emerged from the fog in the opening credits it was apparent that Disney had somehow, suddenly recaptured that "magic" that had been dormant for thirty years. In the tale of a headstrong young mermaid who yearns to "spend a day, warm on the sand," Ariel trades her voice to Ursula, the Sea Witch (classically voiced by Pat Carroll), for a pair of legs. Ariel can only succeed if she receives true love's kiss in a few day's time and she needs all the help she can from a singing crab named Sebastian, a loudmouth seagull, and a flounder. The lyrics and music by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken are top form: witty and relevant, and they advance the story (go on, hum a few bars of "Under the Sea"). Mermaid put animation back on the studio's "to do" list and was responsible for ushering Beauty and the Beast to theaters. A modern Disney classic.

Even when help is within reach, obstacles that appear too great to conquer squelch her dreams of freedom...but this isn't a story about the problem. The Pink Room is a true story of redemption, ordinary people becoming heroes, Cambodians rising up with compassion to take back their country, and a town's process of rebuilding from the inside-out. In a world where it is estimated that there are over one million children held captive and sexually abused, a flower blooms in the heart of Cambodia. Winner of twelve awards.

  6. BEWARE OF SCAMS!!! DR ELIMI IS THE SPELL ONLY CASTER TO TRUST! ( elimispelltemple@gmail.com ) will be of great help to you.
    I never believed in spell casting but After 4 years of dating my hobby, he left me because I lost my womb . I felt like my life was
    about to end I almost committed suicide, i was emotionally down for a very long time. Thanks to the spell caster called Dr Elimi
    whom i met online after my friend Tracy told me how he has helped her. She testified about how Dr Elimi brought back her Ex lover
    in less than 3 days and reversed the effect of her lost womb, and at the end of her testimony she dropped Dr Elimi email address.
    After reading all these,I decided to give Dr Elimi a try. I contacted him via email and explained my problems to him. In just 3 days,
    my Hubby came begging. We resolved our issues, and we are even happier than before, am pregnant now to God be the glory.
    Dr Elimi is really a gifted man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man... Come to think of it
    I didn't pay much and all I have to do is send him little 250 dollars which he used in providing the materials used for the spell.
    Even my pastor said that God works mysteriously, that some men are used by God to help others. If you have a problem and you are looking
    for a real and genuine spell caster to solve all your problems for you. Contact Dr Elimi anytime,
    he is the answer to your problems. Here's his contact elimispelltemple@gmail.com
