Ivan Tsarévitch et la Princesse Changeante is the films original French title. Taking fairy tales and changing them or telling them anew is not a new thing, but the way this film frames it makes it ever more delightful that the ones who have remade stories in recent years (yes, Disney I mean you). Summary: … Continue reading Ivan Tsarevitch and The Changing Princess (2016) – Silhouetted Fables With A Clear Cut Story

Some Indian Travel Songs
I was on holiday in Scotland we rode a lot in the car and I listened to A LOT of Indian music while in the backseat. Pritam in the Highlands and A. R. Rahman on the plane, they both seem to have perfectly captured what it feels like to be somewhere else in their songs … Continue reading Some Indian Travel Songs

After (2019) – SPOILERS – Some Good, Some Bad

I've now had time to think and let the story sink in and think about it for a couple of days. I will start with the positives. Firstly, the humour.

Tapestry of Bronze: The Niobe Trilogy – Myth in the Making

But what sets this series apart from all the others is that the power of the gods is complicated and … Continue reading Tapestry of Bronze: The Niobe Trilogy – Myth in the Making
After (2019) – NON SPOILER – This Movie Surprised Me!
Okay, so my Mom has a book club and a website for it and because she was away to work I got to see the early preview of the movie since she couldn't and she got the book as well, which isn't for her age bracket so she gave it to me. It looked to … Continue reading After (2019) – NON SPOILER – This Movie Surprised Me!
The Pig Keeper’s Assistant: A Steampunk Short Story – Snappy and Sweet
This is a short story that I found on Amazon.com and read on Kindle. It looked appealing from the sample reading I read and thought it would be interesting to read and it was dirt cheap for the value of the writing presented. Retelling the story of The Swineherd by Hans Christian Andersen this reworking … Continue reading The Pig Keeper’s Assistant: A Steampunk Short Story – Snappy and Sweet

This is the Rodgers and Hammerstein's version done for TV and presented by Disney in the 90s. A remake of the musical that was filmed live for TV in 1957 with Julie Andrews in the lead. And unlike some other remakes, this is actually pretty good and has so much going for it and its … Continue reading Cinderella (1997) – Groundbreaking and Entertaining in ALL the Right Ways
