Ninety-three percent of the doctors in the US are men and almost all the top directors and administrators of health institutions. Today, however, health care is the property of male professionals. Medicine is part of our heritage as women, our history, our birthright. They were called “wise women” by the people, witches or charlatans by the authorities. For centuries women were doctors without degrees, barred from books and lectures, learning from each other, and passing on experience from neighbor to neighbor and mother to daughter. They were midwives, travelling from home to home and village to village. They were pharmacists, cultivating healing herbs and exchanging the secrets of their uses. They were abortionists, nurses and counsellors. They were the unlicensed doctors and anatomists of western history.

The Fifty Shades novels have sold over 125 million copies worldwide, over 35 million copies in the United States and set the record in the United Kingdom as the fastest selling paperback of all time. In 2019 she published her first book unconnected with the fictional world of Fifty Shades, The Mister, to negative critical reaction. Prior to this, she wrote the Twilight fan fiction "Master of the Universe" that served as the basis for the Fifty Shades trilogy under the web name Snowqueens Icedragon.

Erika Mitchell (born 7 March 1963), known by her pen name E. In "Castle of Otranto" the documentary aspect is supplied with portions of an interview interspersed with animations of the story. If you've read the Walpole story, there will be no real spoilers here - if you've not, you might want to read the story before finishing this review. Styles of art can be very individual or similar, so I'm making no judgment here other than to say the animation work in both seems similar, as does the inclusion of a documentary story line in both films. Whether or not Jan Svankmajer and Terry Gilliam were aware of each other's work, specifically that of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (1975) and Svanjmejer's animation work in his 1977 "Castle of Otranto" (adaptation of the 1764 Horace Walpole (1717-1797) story of the same name), I don't know.

Sam doesn’t plan to fall for anyone in the weeks before his birthday. The Weyward family has been haunted by a curse for generations-if a Weyward falls in love before their seventeenth birthday, the person they love dies. “I’m pretty sure I’m the only guy in my school who can replace a faulty kick-down switch and also create the perfect smoky eye.” At the beginning of the movie we see people in a pool of red, this makes us think of violence, a massacre, but really it’s just a tomato festival filmed from a distance. For example the use of the colour red, this could represent fear, blood and the tense relationships Eva had not only with Kevin but also Franklin, her husband. There is a great significance to details in this film. The use of flashbacks and the clever combination of the ‘past’ and ‘present’ scenes illustrates the contrast of what her life was like with her family and without, certain details in both let us know what Eva was thinking and feeling. The movie goes back and forth in time to show different points in Eva’s life. The story revolves around a family of four, but the main focus is on the relationship between the mother (Eva, played by Tilda Swinton) and the son (Kevin, played by Rock River, Jasper Newell and Ezra Miller). “We Need to Talk About Kevin” is a movie adaptation of Lionel Shriver’s novel with the same title. She begins therapy and starts to chip away at years' worth of emotional denial and pent-up feelings that came from living with a family where "anger was off-limits because it tap into everybody's fear of inadequacy and imperfection." Zailckas is at her most blisteringly honest when she's trying to wrap her head around her complex and often-strained relationship with her mother. Zailckas returns home and sinks into a deep depression, which only heightens her writer's block, and sends her on a short-lived homeopathy kick. Everything comes to a head after she returns to her parents' Massachusetts home after following her then-boyfriend, Eamon, to England, where the relationship quickly soured. The project began as a scholarly examination on the way Americans approach anger, but morphed, in the four years Zailckas spent writing it, into something deeply personal: an examination of why she always denied her own feelings of rage. Zailckas, who tackled her teenage binge drinking in Smashed, delivers an intriguing and often heartbreaking follow-up on uncovering-and embracing-her anger. Here we are again: I suspected the intent in this story, but it is so well and capably prepared I certainly can't complain. "Sundown" by Cat Camille: "If it seems to be too good to be true, then it probably isn't true." As a voracious reader of horror, mystery, and true crime, I return to this proverb often. "In Mamma' s Heart" by Elizabeth Roderick: I can't express how much I loved this story! Heartbreaking, terrifying, wonderful! (And I kept thinking about Emmett Till) "Ghost of the Past" by Sara Schoen: scary, scary, scary!
