• The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate (MG)

  
  Becky's Book Reviews — Authority: 525
  Kelly, Jacqueline. 2009. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate. Henry Holt. By 1899, we had learned to tame the darkness but not the Texas heat. That is a great first line. I just loved it. While I didnt love the whole novel quite as evenly, I did enjoy it--really enjoy it! Its historical fiction. (A genre I tend to ...

• Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell In Love by Lauren Tarshis

  
  Confessions of a Book Habitu — Authority: 124
  5 Stars JF Sequel to Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell Out of a Tree Cute story, once again. These books actually have a lot in common with the Stargirl books-- only without the stuff that bugged me. :D For one, Emma-Jean is a 7th grader, which age would have made the Stargirl books make far more sense. AND Emma-Jean ...

• THEATER OF THE ARID

  
  Antagony & Ecstasy — Authority: 134
  There are a few directors who make dull, even insipid movies much too often for it to be a "surprise", but Im heartbroken every time it happens anyway. One of the kings of this tendency is Richard Linklater, who made the stunning dyad of romantic dramas Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, as well as the most perfect of ...

  Dowell, Frances ORoark. 2009. The Kind of Friends We Used To Be. Simon & Schuster. 234 pages. When Kate decided to play the guitar, she realized she would need new shoes. I loved this one.

• DISNEY ANIMATION: WELL AND TRULY, IM ON MY WAY NOW

  
  Antagony & Ecstasy — Authority: 134
  Brother Bear is the platonic ideal of a completely vanilla animated childrens movie: the one Disney film that, whenever I mention that Ive been working my way through the whole animated canon, I can guarantee that whomever Im talking to forgot that it exists. Even I keep forgetting that it exists: when working on ...

• DISNEY ANIMATION: WANT TO TOUCH THINGS I DONT FEEL

  
  Antagony & Ecstasy — Authority: 134
  Now, here is a situation that I do not understand whatsoever: after completing Aladdin in 1992 and witnessing as it became the highest-grossing animated film ever produced at that, and still one of only two traditionally-animated features to break $200 million at the U.S. box office, directors Ron Clements and John ...

• Guardian (MG, YA)

  
  Becky's Book Reviews — Authority: 525
  Lester, Julius. 2008. Guardian. HarperCollins. 129 pages. As much as I dont like believing in required reading, part of me thinks that everybody needs some Lester in their lives. If for no other reason than his To Be A Slave and Day Of Tears . Those two are in one word, amazing. (Personally, Cupid is my ...

• DISNEY ANIMATION: TILL WE FIND OUR PLACE ON THE PATH UNWINDING

  
  Antagony & Ecstasy — Authority: 134
  The second-highest grossing film of 1994, and at the time the record-holder for most successful animated feature ever released, The Lion King occupies a very special place in my development into the angry contrarian that I am today, for it was the first time that the twelve-year-old me had ever felt something that Ive ...

  Boomers — Authority: 99
  Peanut butter sandwiches with strawberry jam. Alfalfa sprouts in salads. Patchouli stick incense. Hand-made, multi-colored candles. A silver peace symbol as a necklace. Stained glass lamps.

  On July 24, 1985, Walt Disney Productions released its 25th animated feature film, The Black Cauldron.

• DISNEY ANIMATION: IF ONLY THE WORLD WOULDNT GET IN THE WAY

  
  Antagony & Ecstasy — Authority: 134
  With The Rescuers, it seemed that the new blood at the Disney Animation Studios had figured out what was what, and were all pumped up to do something even bigger and better, for with the great majority of the old guard retired or planning on doing so any moment, it was clearly a rich time for the kids to make a real ...
