Review: Tiger Eyes

Let me preface this by saying Tiger Eyes is one of my favourite novels and I can probably recite most of it by heart. I contain high expectations of a motion picture version.

Tiger Eyes tells the story of Davey Wexler and her family after the death of her father in a store robbery gone wrong. The family move to New Mexico to be with Davey&#;s aunt Bitsy and uncle Walter so they can grieve, heal, and uncover their feet again. In the process, Davey finds a couple of friends, Wolf and Jane.

First, the bad bits. There are minor differences between the novel and film. Minka, the meower, is left in the nurture of Lenaya (Davey&#;s best friend) and not taken to Recent Mexico. Bitsy is Gwen&#;s sister, not Adam&#;s. Davey wins a part in the school&#;s talent show, not the lead in a musical. These are low differences, so why were they changed? Take the cat to NM just to appease purists. I concede it makes more sense for Bitsy and Gwen to be sisters, however Bitsy loses that sense of her own loss as well as Davey&#;s musings that she and her father had

Blume in Love ()

By Richard Winters

My Rating: 4 out of 10

4-Word Review: Cheating husband seeks reconciliation.

Stephen Blume (George Segal) is a successful divorce lawyer who suddenly finds himself stuck in a break-up of his possess when his wife (Susan Anspach) catches him cheating with his secretary and then leaves him. Now Blume becomes obsessed with winning her back and even starts up a friendship with her new live-in lover (Kris Kristofferson), but as his frustrations boil over he begins to react in aggressive ways when he can’t get what he wants.

Director Paul Mazursky delivers another insightful look at love and marriage and how the two aren’t always compatible. The narrative works in a fragmented style where clips of the different stages of the relationship are shown at various times and allows the viewer to see the many changes the two go through particularly with our protagonist whose internal flaws are ingloriously displayed for all to see. Normally this could prove a turn-off, but Segal manages to save the character painfully human enough to be engaging mos

When I was in lofty school, we lived within walking distance of the main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. If I wasn’t at residence or school, I was likely at the library, scouring the shelves for books I hadn’t yet read. YA as a genre wasn’t quite as robust back in the early aughts as it is now; there weren’t as many options, so I burned through them pretty quickly. One daytime, I took out a book that would transform the way I consideration of books: Forever by Judy Blume. I knew Judy Blume; she had written some books I loved in elementary institution. This book was alternative though. It felt concrete in a way I didn’t know possible.

Judy Blume and her legacy are the subject of a new documentary, Judy Blume Forever on Prime Video. I cannot not articulate how excited I was when I found out about this documentary. The first time I watched the trailer, I got all teary eyed. It should be hard to encapsulate one woman in 90 minutes, but it was truly so unbelievably good. Not only does it capture Judy Blume the woman, but it does an excellent employment of capturing the impact she’s had on children’s literature

Once the ultimate mean girl, Rachel McAdams embodies warmth as mother to awkward adolescent Margaret (Abby Ryder Fortson).

Growing up ravenous for any “young adult” content that offered the slightest glimpse of sexuality, I — along with generations of girls — gravitated to Judy Blume novels like a shark drawn to (menstrual) blood. But I was never a Margaret fan. Give me Deenie any day. Why look up to a sixth grader desperate to get her period when you could aspire to be a masturbating model with scoliosis? The thing about Blume’s adolescent heroines, however, is that all of them spoke to someone. And even if one didn’t speak to you, the storytelling was so damn good that you’d tear through the book anyway.

Margaret — the eponymous heroine of Blume’s Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. — is arguably the author’s most beloved.
