Her attacker paid no need to her cries.

He had parted his robes with one hand and was stroking the weapon between his legs with the other. 

It was an ugly red monster curved like a scimitar that leaked fluid as it grew more erect.

Marguerite raised her head and stared in horror as the men swallowed drams of powder mixed into their cups of mead. 

Only the blonde leader abstained. 

The smell of male arousal swelled in the air and was overwhelming as the front of the men’s robes tented with obvious animal desire.

Her eyes widened as she glimpsed the origin of the whimpers that prompted her return to consciousness. 

Stretched out and bound to wooden pillars on a raised platform was the lithe figure of her cousin, Cicely. 

Uncomprehending terror stared out of those beautiful green eyes, so like her own, as barely muffled screams alternating with whimpers streamed out of her gagged mouth.

"Marguerite, wake up.." 

A light tapping of her face strengthened the effort to open her eyes, the struggle against heavy lids for vision.

"William..what is happening?" Marguerite hardly recognised her voice, a slurred wisp.

William had a wild look of despair in his eyes.

"I am so sorry. I should never have..."

GSW review P1

Go Set a Watchman Audible Chp 1-5

First impressions: Average

First impulse/reaction: Dramatise it.

 

Go Set a Watchman (GSW) is a text that lends itself to dramatisation, even  when it's restricted to aural. That in a way reflects how much it is a sibling of To Kill a Mockingbird (TKM). That is why TKM translates so well to screen.

Ok, first things first. I love the occasional Southern twang and I like Reese Witherspoon as much as I like most American actresses. Thing is she is no Scout. And I miss the real "voice" of Scout, the one that comes through the words on the page. Ms Witherspoon made a good effort but didn't hit the mark.  

Chapter 1 was probably a shock for most TKM fans with the news of the death of Jem. The tone that readers are accustomed to in the TKM returns mostly from Chapters 2 onwards. Dill makes a nice return in Chapter 4 as do the Cunninghams.  

For all the advice about pretending not to know a thing about TKM when reading GSW. It’s not possible. Let’s just put it this way, unless you’ve never read TKM before the release of GSW, you already know the story. In fact, I would argue that knowing the narrative of TKM helps one understand the nature and clash of memories and the present. People change and the past is no guarantee of the present or future. So far, Chapter 4 comes closest to reflecting the childhood reflection and tone of TKM’s section on the summer of fun enjoyed by Jem, Dill and Scout.  

If TKM exposed the hypocrisies and paradoxes of small Southern town life as well as the inadequacies of the law as it was practised, GSW reflects the ironies of religion again as practised.

That said humour is well and alive.The “meeting” with the preacher and his wife was hilarious and very much the Scout of TKM.  And despite all the sophisticated thoughts, some things don’t change easy.

Rating: 3*

Looking forward to: More Scout and Henry

Magic Mike XXL review

In A Snap: No Plot Hot Moves

Overall Impression: Funny, good moves and really entertaining

Hesitation: Plot is paper thin, seriously.

Applauding: Nice moves, more twerky and simulation than that big finger

The Longer Version:

Ok, I walked in with no real expectations of anything but hot bodies and grinding action. I was not disappointed. Well, on the upside there wasn’t an attempt to disguise the nature of the movie. The little jokes on the new age spirituality in the form of Ken was pretty funny.  And the rather impossible combination of buff male entertainer and Backstreet Boys fan was campily brought to life in the store girl scene. For one, I will never listen to that Backstreet Boy song without cracking up! Plus the male brudderhood bonding/support outside the store front was a straight sendup of the original Backstreet video LOL.

The diversion to the subscription-based entertainment club was a bit of a drag though the action was passable. As was the cougar party.

Overall, fun grind run, lots of eye candy. High on the unintended and cheesy humour. Overextended music video feel.

Fave Scenes: the workshop scene (now now ladies, we know that men don’t fantasise about sex all the time ~crude snort~ ), impressing the store assistant/cashier (who knows, Backstreet Boys might come back ~ok, I really prefer the film crew dancing, I’m a realist~) and the stripper convention dances!

Fave Lines: A toss up between glass shoes and there are 3000 other women even if you’re not in the boy phase!

 

 

Here’s the trailer for those who are awaiting the DVD LOL
