Yahoo Travel 

By Johnny Jet Delta Flight 2255 from Atlanta to Los Angeles seemed to be an ordinary flight with the exception of Candy, who was the most loving flight attendant I’ve ever encountered. We later learned, when the captain got on the PA system about 45 minutes prior to landing, that we were transporting a fallen soldier.

A beautiful tale of an Irish woman in mid-century NY

«SFGate» (sfgate.com) 

Arguments can be made as to how it achieves its effects, but what really matters is that “Brooklyn” locates and rides a river of intense emotion. There’s suffocating homesickness and breathless aspiration, not to mention the awful pressure of being young and having to choose your life path when you really have no basis for choosing, other than instinct. From the beginning, the movie establishes Eilis’ probity, innate dignity and courage, and we’re happy just to watch her try to make her way in life. Читать дальше...

The film, which tells the behind-the-scenes story of how a Boston Globe investigative team uncovered the sex abuse scandal within the Catholic Church, provides an accurate picture of how journalism is done at a major American newspaper. [...] when Marty Baron (Liev Schreiber) arrives at the Bosyon Globe as the new editor, he is not greeted as an injection of a new talent but as a virus that must be contained. Читать дальше...
