![]() ![]() ![]() Locke, I wonder about that.Īnyway if you like concrete - about half the picture heï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)s answering and making phone calls about concrete - and adultery, then you might enjoy this movie. Oh, and by the way, he does not love this other woman, nor has he had, he says, extramarital sex other than this one time. Obviously they saved a lot of money using just a car for the setting - memories for me, and not good ones, of the nightmare that is My Dinner with Andre. Locke's car while he's driving into London to witness the birth of this other woman's baby. ![]() Instead he screws a woman other than his wife. If he could screw a concrete pie, I bet he'd jump at the chance. Values concrete and what the resulting building is - as he calls them "his" buildings - more than his freaking family. It's the name of the major character - like what you get when you get out of your car to secure it, in a mash up with the name of the 18th-Century British Empiricist philosopher John Locke? Lock + Locke? Maybe not. With an incredible rating of 90%, I feel the urge to put in my two cents's worth regarding Locke. ![]()

Montgomery, author of Anne of Green Gables and hero to millions of fans. (Penguin, 386 pages $22.99, ages 12 and up)ĭebut novelist Fishbane takes on a daunting challenge, creating a story based on the adolescence of L.M. Delicacy and depth - in land- and seascape, in feeling and historical verity - make this exceptional, a tribute to Cape Breton miners and indeed, to mining families everywhere. A sheer, blowing curtain sunshine moving across a floor the vivacious, eye-squinting glint of sunlit sea - all of this intensifies images of the cramped, weighty dark in which the boy’s father labours underground, undersea. The emotional nuance in Schwartz’s restrained, poetic text gets full play in the extraordinary evocation of light and deep darkness in Smith’s art. But while the boy lives out his day in the sparkling, expansive light of the summer sea, his mind turns to what’s beneath it: his father, mining for coal, just as men in his family have done for generations. “From my house, I can see the sea,” says a boy who then describes his typical summer’s day - breakfast, play, errands, and his father’s arrival home from work. Only rarely in a picture book do words and art interact as potently and intimately as they do in this luminous collaboration. ![]() By Joanne Schwartz, illustrated by Sydney Smith ![]() ![]() ![]() Set in 18th century French society, the “game about cheating at cards” is slated for a 2021 release.
