Isolated and hard by the shore, her life takes a dramatic change when a terrible tragedy befalls her. The Road Dance - BBC2 - 11pmĪ Scottish drama centering on a young girl living in the Outer Hebrides in the years just before WWI. All of a sudden I'm very hungry for a Royale with Cheese. Probably one of the most quotable films of all time, there's never not a good time to watch or re-watch this Tarantino classic. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Tim Roth, and Uma Thurman, the crime classic follows several interconnected stories around the city of LA which all overlap and offer different points of view throughout the movie. ![]() Our pick of the movies on TV tonight is one of the most iconic films of the 90's and is probably responsible for single-handedly keeping the film poster industry alive - it's Quentin Tarantino's 1994 crime flick Pulp Fiction. ![]() ![]() Then she hits him with her car- supposedly by accident. ![]() So when a purple-haired tornado of a woman turns up out of the blue to interview for his open chef position, he tells her the brutal truth: not a chance in hell.

The tale opens with the description of a mysterious epidemic. ![]() But to our knowledge, a detailed medical analysis of The Masque of Red Death has not been conducted. Review of The Fall of the House of Usher has implicated porphyria ( 3) for the psychopathology of Roderick Usher and his sister Madeline. The author’s life has been the subject of numerous medical and psychiatric analyses, and the effects of alcoholism ( 1) and seizure disorder ( 2) on his creativity have been studied. Poe’s most famous works are macabre tales of terror, madness, decay, and death. Accounts of fictional epidemics, such as Albert Camus’ The Plague or Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of Red Death, are even more fascinating and debatable. These works provide rare insight into the impact of real epidemics. History itself is punctuated and shaped by epidemics, whose accounts are at the center of such literary works as Boccachio’s Decameron, Daniel Defoe’s A Journal of the Plague Year, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez’ Love in the Time of Cholera. Often viewed as divine retribution, these scourges are mentioned in many cultural and religious texts, including the Bible, the Koran, and the Talmud. Plagues and pestilence have evoked fear and awe since time immemorial. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Starting with Call the Midwife, one is introduced to Jenny Lee and the lovely sisters of Nonnatus House, the name being a pseudonym based on the patron saint of midwives, obstetricians, pregnant women, childbirth, and new-born babies. ![]() ***** Everything below is a SPOILER ***** What happened in The Midwife Trilogy?

So I thought about that moment, and I could just see it and smell it and taste it, just standing there in that bitter cold, looking over that ocean and then seeing this miraculous thing happen. She’d be out in the garden looking out over the ocean and then, what if she witnessed that moment when the mermaid rescues the prince and brings him to shore. I imagined the princess, if she was stuck in a convent or something, which she seems to be in the original, and if she was missing her princess life. But unlike Cinderella, where it was easy to go in and look at the dark side of the story because it’s clearly there but not really at the forefront, the Little Mermaid is such a weird, dark story I didn’t really know what to do with it. ![]() ![]() The Anderson version is really dark, depressing and weird. I wanted to do something with the original Little Mermaid story but I didn’t really know how to approach it. Q: How did you decide to write this book?Ī: I’m attracted to fairy tales and that mixing of darkness with the magical, sparkly, beautiful part of them. ![]() |
