Agatha of little neon by claire luchette5/31/2023 I am a generation removed from Catholicism. For Agatha, recognizing that gap comes with the larger stake of ending the bond she has with her fellow sisters. Not for the people who have tangible needs and hardships at odds with the Church’s creed. And inside the home are people that the Church says, ”need God and prayer and mercy.” But it doesn’t seem like enough. Then quickly they are transported to another world of graffiti of men’s genitalia, discount groceries, and a halfway home painted neon green. “There was nothing new for us in that basilica, only things that had always been there, and though we could not admit it to each other, that’s what we wanted, too: to always be there, in the place we’d become sisters. At the start, when the sisters prepare to leave their home of nine years, they pray in the front pew and Agatha recounts the grandiose beauty of the church: Tension builds throughout this novel in vignettes. However, after the move, the youngest nun Agatha is slowly peeled from the comfort of anonymity and constancy and into interrogating her own wants. The four blend together at first, having spent the last nine years in unison. The story opens with four sisters who are being removed from their home near Buffalo to be put in charge of running a halfway house in Rhode Island, Little Neon. At first it is unassuming, as a woman in a habit can be. Claire Luchette‘s novel Agatha of Little Neonpacks a suckerpunch beyond its bold pink cover.

All in My Head by Paula Kamen5/31/2023 Still, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is a decent enough thriller, and Costner slips into the ‘mentor who isn’t a mentor’ role with ease. The $135m worldwide gross (against a production budget of $60m) was certainly solid, but no franchise starter though. Had Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit become a box office juggernaut, then the plan would have been to spin Costner’s character out into his own movie. And that left space for Costner to take on a character actor piece, as the shadowy CIA man who recruits Jack Ryan in the first place. Kenneth Branagh took the helm for Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, with Chris Pine in the title role. We’ll start then with one of Costner’s recent endeavours, the attempt to reboot – not for the first time – the Jack Ryan movie franchise. But these 28? Not all great films – although some of them are – but they’ve each got something interesting about them… 28. |
