seems a considerably more complex film than
wings of desire .
wenders has so much to express through such a complicated, heavily populated plot that his film can be wearying in its leisurely pacing, despite the constant awesome beauty of its images and miraculous use of sound .
so close... and so long. there were many hellos and goodbyes throughout the story, multiple plot twists with new and old characters surfacing. a few places along the journey were confusing to piece together the timeline since random gaps in the story were missing. much of the dialogue and events during the campaign could have been removed and the story would have been so much more concise and could stand on its own. i enjoyed the story, characters, and writing, but it was too long and difficult
so close... and so long. there were many hellos and goodbyes throughout the story, multiple plot twists with new and old characters surfacing. a few places along the journey were confusing to piece together the timeline since random gaps in the story were missing. much of the dialogue and events during the campaign could have been removed and the story would have been so much more concise and could stand on its own. i enjoyed the story, characters, and writing, but it was too long and difficult keeping my attention in some areas. the book climaxed until the last 50 or so pages, and it was a quick ending. love the authors !

( selected theaters), wim wenders continues the magnificent spiritual odyssey he commenced six years ago with
wings of desire .
it was so fortuitous that wenders introduced in the first film two angels, both eager to become human and each worthy of his own story, that you have to wonder whether he didn' t have the possibility of a sequel in mind at the outset. the film' s title refers to its angels' ability to be close to humans without being visible to them or being able to affect their destinies .

i stayed here for business for one night. hotel has everything for a good stay, with good sized comfortable rooms. tip: ground floor rooms are close to reception so noise can be heard late at night or early morning. wifi is available throughout and is fast and free. breakfast consisted of a wide choice, self service .

for americans who have grown up mostly watching asian action films on home video, a chance to go to a theater to see the wide - screen sequences that most hong kong cinematographers are so confident in catching is almost worthwhile. the charisma of the stars derives from seeing them roll through the stunts in bigger venues than living rooms. the action thriller of recent hong kong vintage is a more spare and minimalist affair than'' so close,'' whose title seems to refer to the movie' s proximity to the past .
the protagonist in so close is amanda luker who grew up in a trailer park in small town florida. she always knew she wanted more, and especially wished she had a father. she also hoped for more than she had growing up, but she especially wished her mom would take care of her younger brother so she get out of the trailer park without feeling guilty. amanda' s busy working at a local hotel until she lands a job for politician and local candidate, tom davis. tom' s wife, lindsey, is a great character
there are so many unusual forms of death and maiming in this film. asphixation from poison gas being one of them. and then there are the fashionable combat stiletto boots .
wenders' ideas, emotions - - and his characters - - eventually do converge in a stately manner, rewarding the patient with a stunning, enlarging vision of human experience, a melding of the material and spiritual worlds .

can be very tough going in its first half, but given its overall scope, passion and brilliance it is arguably a great film all the same .
stereotypical and predictable with a shockingly unexpected amount of raunch. what bothered me is it was so random and so crudely done. i almost didn' t finish but had come so far. anyway, aside from the icky part, it was way too long to the point where it became agonizing. especially the inclusion of the cheyenne plot twist and the video footage. ewww! this could have been a few pages to reveal what a horrible person one particular character was. but no, it was chapter after tortuous chapter. wha

on the most profound of its many levels it can be taken as an allegory on the coming together of the two germanys and the sacrifice involved in accomplishing it. it even features mikhail s. gorbachev, the former soviet president, pondering the meaning of life .
after the first 20 minutes,'' close'' - - which opens today in manhattan and los angeles - - is mostly retrograde. its compulsive action - packed narrative seems almost like a throwback to the 1980' s asian films evoked in fredric dannen' s book'' hong kong babylon.'' the appeal of these movies mystified the directors who wanted to break free of them. the plot of'' close'' is in keeping with the forgettable b - picture magic of the genre .

one day somebody in hong kong should hold a meeting and issue this edict: stop making western - influenced action films! ever since downtown torpedoes, it seems that every hk cinema action flick comes with high - tech razzle - dazzle and manufactured sentiments that would make jerry bruckheimer wince. corey yuen' s much - anticipated so close follows suit with a ridiculous plot and situations that could only affect the most easily - manipulated. he does throw some decent action into the mix, but that isn' t always enough .
i wasn' t sure if i' d like so close at first - it seemed like it was going to be too predictable, and like it was trying too hard to make something happen, but then i got into it. overall, i found the story to be quite predictable but it was also entertaining enough that i wanted to continue reading to confirm (or deny) my suspicions about where things were headed. it was an easy, pretty light read which was exactly what i was looking for this weekend .
sparkpress and netgalley provided me with an electronic copy of so close, in exchange for an honest review. when her boyfriend diego decides to go back to columbia, taking everything in their shared apartment with him, amanda luker is forced to live in a hotel with a group of girls working for the same hotel. having to deliver room service to the penthouse, where her one night stand resides, was the icing on the cake of an awful 24 hours for amanda. it could not possibly get any worse? pax westerb
i really enjoyed the plot and the characters in
so close
. i especially enjoyed amanda' s hard work paying off with an opportunity to find her bliss and move up the career ladder. in addition, amanda' s friendship with lindsay was very special as well. and lindsay' s struggle with expectations and experiences were admirable. the only unbelievable part was the length of which amanda went to to protect her career. p. s. her mother drove me crazy - and amanda was entirely too nice to her !
amanda luker in emma mclaughlin and nicola kraus’ novel “so close” portrayed a modern - day rags - to - riches story of a small - town girl just trying to get out of the trailer park and make something of herself. while amanda is the main character, poor little rich boy pax westerbrook is certainly the catalyst for the entire story. having met during a night of clubbing, pax is the reason amanda loses her job and through trying to make it up to her, he also gives her another chance at meeting senator da
thank you to sparkpress for providing me with an advanced copy of emma mclaughlin and nicola kraus’ latest novel, so close, in exchange for an honest review. plot - amanda beth luker was raised in an impoverished florida town, by a wild - child teen mom. now in her twenties and looking to escape her upbringing, amanda falls in love and runs away to live in miami. unfortunately, love is a fickle thing and she is struggling to make ends meet working at a high - end resort hotel. amanda is nearly defeate
this was within half a mile of the piaza romana where all the buses drop you off. peter was the owner when we went during christmas season. it' s a bed and breakfast and the bathrooms are updated, clean, and fresh. the internet cafe (cafe blue) nearby was more of a bar than a place to do research but the immediate vicinity was definitely a neighborhood - so much so that you' ll have to try to find this place among the private homes that it blends so well with. while you' re there, check out il grifone - the leather goods merchant right along the canal. pick up a sleek card case and some made to measure belts .
amazing. . this book is so relatable. . one of the best books that i' ve read in awhile where i couldn' t put it down, stayed up too late reading, cried, cheered, and loved. .
came to saugatuck for a wedding. the hotel was recommended by the bride and close to the reception so my husband and i booked 5 rooms for our family and we stayed for 2 nights. we did get a discount for booking multiple rooms, but i still thought the price was higher than necessary. the room was standard, and only jacuzzi suites have king beds, so we were stuck with 2 queen beds... not a big deal but still a minor annoyance. the room appeared to be clean, but the carpets were disgusting. the tv in our room was old, and the one in my mil' s room went out completely, but the manager did replace it within an hour which was great. the pool and exercise areas were also kind of disappointing .
these apartments clearly need an updagrade, however, i found them to be clean, spacious and had everything i needed. as mentioned in another review, there is no soundproofing so noise from your neighbours could ruin your stay. i was very lucky and had considerate neighbours who kept noise to a minimum so i was not disturbed too much. i dread to think what it would be like if there was a family with children next door. i found the staff to be friendly and helpful and had no complaints at all. the pool was lovely and had strict hours of use so people with balconies overlooking the pool werent disturbed too early or late. i didnt eat in the apartments restaurant and managed to find good places to eat within walking distance. there are a few supermarkets in walking distance too, so nothing is too much bother. i would return probably at the same time of year as it was quiet and the weather was good 25 degress on average .
so close is the story of a woman who is trying to find her way but at what cost is she willing to give to have the life she always dreamed of. amanda luker grew up in a trailer park with a mother who really wasn' t there for her. after getting fired from a job and the possibility of going back to the trailer park, a man by the name of tom davis and his wife, lindsay will give her an opportunity to join his campaign. along the way, she is introduced to pax westerbrook who is in love with amanda bu

similar connections or rather prejudices were also apparent when i saw this film with american undergraduate students in a cinema class at the university of southern california. after the screening, i had a chance to discuss this film with approximately thirty students. they expressed discontent with the film, and were suspicious of the film' s cinematic plagiarism. to them, so close was first and foremost a knock - off of charlie' s angels. most agreed that this film only exemplified, in an affirming way, the ceaseless and desperate ambition of a local cinema to emulate the globally successful hollywood cinema .
stereotypical and predictable with a shockingly unexpected amount of raunch. what bothered me is it was so random and so crudely done. i almost didn' t finish but had come so far. anyway, aside from the icky part, it was way too long to the point where it became agonizing. especially the inclusion of the cheyenne plot twist and the video footage. ewww! this could have been a few pages to reveal what a horrible person one particular character was. but no, it was chapter after tortuous chapter. what started out interesting and fresh ended up eye - rolling, sleazy and overdone. and by the way the photo featured here was not featured on my book. i' d never pick up a book with such a trashy looking cover. ; 0
perfect location, lovely pool but unfortunately cold - in december just few people in hotel (most germans) there is free internet on reception so you can catch signal in the few rooms next to as well. nice and clean room - good value for the money !
good value apartment with a circular swimming pool for adults, cleaned every morning, and a smaller shallow pool for children alongside a play area. it was quiet in february, but might get noisy if all apartments are there with families. reception staff very helpful. small supermarket across the street if you want to self cater. bus from san sebastian or airport stops very close to the reception area so car unnecessary. five minutes walk to the beach and a little longer to the harbour. area next to the apartments is a bit run down and possibly due to be developed soon. we didn' t use the restaurant at all .

the rooms on the' plaza verde' that are on the service road are very noisy in the morning. you will leave your window open over night and at 7: 00 am the squeaky trolleys of the cleaners will wake you up. so i would not pick any of those .
• so close was shot with multiple languages, and then dubbed appropriately depending on the country of release. shu qi and vicki zhao were shot sync - sound in mandarin, meaning the mandarin version reduces the dubbing to the bad guys and the occasional scene where karen mok speaks cantonese. however, any scene between mok and the other two female leads was shot sync - sound in mandarin, as mok is fluent in both mandarin and cantonese. as such, the ratio of sync - sound to dubbing is comparatively high on the mandarin release, and the acting from shu qi and vicki zhao improves considerably. the film is still incredibly silly, but the better performances makes enjoying the film much easier .
i stayed in this hotel last month and was disappointed me, first of all the guy was working at front dest so terribel and rude, mean, and xtra dull. he did not even know guest service and attitude to customer. place was run down and room was not clean at all. never go back there .

we have just returned from a whirlwind tour of the philippines and during our visit to roxas we had to find a hotel in a hurry. driving along the coastal road in bay - bay we spotted the casa felisa hotel (which looks a bit like a motel) located right next to the beach, and has plenty of car parking. booking in was no problem (one days rent in advance) and got a twin bedded room with shower, tv and aircon for about 1060 pisos. the room was clean but too close to the reception area so avoid room number one! ! two reasonable breakfasts were included in the price and the staff were quite helpful and friendly. the location is fantastic if you like the beach (which was very clean) and a 7 piso tricycle ride takes you into roxas city about 3 kilometers away. i would recommend the hotel which is currently being extended with better beach huts and additional accomadation, which looks very nice .
amanda luker never had much growing up at the trailer park in small town florida, but she always knew she wanted more. she wished for a father. she wished she had a better, more stable job. she wished her mom would take care of her younger brother so she could move far away without feeling guilty. when a ratty boyfriend finally leads amanda to a swanky south beach hotel job - she meets two men that will rock her world upside down. pax is a party going wealthy palm beach type swathed in pink polo
i' ve loved emma and nicola since i was a teen reading the nanny diaries. what i love about them is their characters. women that mean so well and strive for it only to get lost along the way paired with a guy that' s just as lost in his own way but fights until the end for them. he fights for the hea. amanda and pax made a great pair. but the relationship between amanda and lindsey is what made this story for me. as amanda tried to be more than her trailer park childhood lindsey became her savior .
as soon as we arrived we were very impressed by the size of the hotel and the feel of the place as we entered the complex. as we arrived at 11. 45am and knew that our room wouldn' t be ready until after 2pm we asked if there was somewhere to get changed and to leave our bags. the reception staff were very helpful and directed us to a room to change in and then kept our bags for us until the room was ready. what a sprawling complex with multiple pools. due to the size of the place it was always possible to find a sunlounger. the bar area was great too and we found all staff in the complex friendly and helpful. i also felt very safe there as someone patrols the area. our room was clean and everything was in fine working order but the apartment is part privately owned. i only had 2 minor grumbles but not ones which merit giving the complex less than a 5 star rating. our apartment was quite close to the reception entrance so the noise of cases and cleaner trolley' s rumbling past was pretty frequent. thankfully i had brought ear plugs with me or sleep would have been tricky with people going past with cases. secondly the cost for wifi for the week was far too expensive and worked out to be the same as what i paid at home for my ...
3. 5 stars finally - this book has been a long time coming. i, like so many others, fell in love with the nanny diaries. naturally, i would read the follow up books that the authors churned out, only to find that the magic of the nanny diaries was gone. i tried, and tried, again, but each book left me more disappointed than the last. i did buy tnd' s sequel, but i have been too afraid to read it and find out that it steals some of the original shine. i don' t know why i continued to try - but i am f

amanda luker in emma mclaughlin and nicola kraus’ novel “so close” portrayed a modern - day rags - to - riches story of a small - town girl just trying to get out of the trailer park and make something of herself. while amanda is the main character, poor little rich boy pax westerbrook is certainly the catalyst for the entire story. having met during a night of clubbing, pax is the reason amanda loses her job and through trying to make it up to her, he also gives her another chance at meeting senator davis and his wife lindsay. while pax is intertwined and constantly comes in and out of amanda’s life, this isn’t an ordinary cinderella story. amanda works hard for everything she has. she demonstrates an incredible work ethic throughout the book, and it was especially impressive to see how hard she worked day in and day out on the senator’s campaign with no hope or guarantee of a paycheck. that kind of work ethic really revealed her character and entrepreneurial spirit. it was interesting to get the behind the scenes glimpse of the path to the presidency. international best - selling authors, emma mclaughlin and nicole kraus did a great job of making me feel like i was jet - lagged on the campaign trail alongside amanda. told through amanda’s eyes, her character with all of her flaws and naïveté were well - developed and easily relatable. as intriguing as the political indiscretions made this book, for me it was really about amanda’s entrepreneurial drive and her determination to become someone outside of the trailer park. while life offers opportunities randomly and sporadically, it’s really about what you make of those opportunities and how you create your own windows when no others open for you. for this and other book reviews, please visit: urltoken

toronto, canada we stayed at this hotel from june 28 to july 1, 2007. we are a family of four, with teenage children. i booked it based on the reviews on tripadvisor. i was not disappointed. we had a quad room which was cozy and clean. bathroom was new and clean. we had breakfast in our room every morning at whatever time we requested it. breakfast was cappuccino, toast and croissants, truly italian style, which is all to be expected when in italy. it was away from the crowds of venice, but within walking distance to all the main attractions. it is close to the train and bus station and if you follow the hotels directions, finding it is not a problem. we found this hotel to be charming and in venetian style. the price was great in comparison to the other hotels closer to the main attractions. we truly enjoyed our stay and the staff was very friendly and pleasant. i would recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone that is wanting to experience venice
a story with promise that succumbs to the temptations of too many dramatic twists in the final act. the trite
handsome leading man with unbelievable wealth, snobby mother
was bothersome - he never felt like an actual character, more a vehicle for our heroine' s wishes and aspirations. the bombshell revelation in the final act, followed by a painful and confusing side trip to kiwah island, and another bizarre revelation after that - totally took the wind out of the story' s sails. the cheyenne / coco character did not make sense. i could go on and on, but will simply say - skip this one so as to not be frustrated by a story that includes unnecessary drama, but likely had great potential before all the bells and whistles (and ornaments and accessories) were added .
dear anthonymcnamee, thank you for taking the time to review our hotel on tripadvisor. i am delighted to see that you had an enjoyable experience during your stay with us and i have passed your kind comments on to the team here in the hotel. my apologies for the absence of the starter at your tee time on sunday morning and i hope it did not cause too much of a delay for you. i am glad that you enjoyed the standards of the golf courses so much, they really are in great condition at the moment as always which really makes for an enjoyable game. i do hope that we will have the opportunity to welcome you back to carton house in the near future and if i can ever be of any assistance please feel free to contact me. kind regards, brian bowler deputy general manager
saugatuck and douglas are tourist destinations, so it' s not surprising that there are many nice b & b' s around the area. but for those who don' t want to spend $ 150 - $ 250 a night on a room, there are alternatives like the best western. it' s really not bad - the desk staff was pleasant enough, the continental breakfast was varied and perfectly okay. the pool (although small) is open until 11: 00pm which is nice. still, there was something that always made it seem a bit stale - the smell in the carpets, the lack of amenities, the rough towels, the bare bones quality of many items in the room. if you can get a good price and are looking for a hotel with a pool i would recommend it - otherwise look for something else .
we just got back from a great week in sands beach resort. the staff were very friendly and when needed they help you immediately. our apartment was very basic. the second bed was in a cupboard and our daughter thought is was cool to have a bed hidden away. . the sofa was broken and very uncomfortable so we didn' t use it. the nice thing is, is that every appartment block has it' s own pool and that is really ideal. the resort also provides toys for te pool which was very convenient. we seemed to have the less nicest pool, as we settled for a smaller appartment. pools are not heated, so the water was quite cold. with the sun there it' s very cooling, but without the sun it' s defenitely too cold. the playground is very nice. there' s also a playground rght outside the resort and that one was even better. kids don' t have to get bored! apparently there' s a possibilty to rent a buggy. we only found out our last day, but if we knew this before we would defenitely have done that. sands beach is not in the centre of things and with small children the walk to the spanish square is too far. we didn' t book any meals, but we did go once for a breakfast buffet and dinner buffet. the breakfast was great, but i was a bit disappointed with the dinner. choice was ok, but not very tasty. we went out in the town and there are plenty of good restaurants. the mini disco in the evening was fantastic for the kids, just a little bit late for a 4 year old. most of the time she was too tired to participate. i would defenitely go here again, but i would book a different apartement .
i' ve loved emma and nicola since i was a teen reading the nanny diaries. what i love about them is their characters. women that mean so well and strive for it only to get lost along the way paired with a guy that' s just as lost in his own way but fights until the end for them. he fights for the hea. amanda and pax made a great pair. but the relationship between amanda and lindsey is what made this story for me. as amanda tried to be more than her trailer park childhood lindsey became her savior. as their relationship grew then changed it was a journey amanda needed. not always pleasant and way too overwhelming but needed. pax was a great balance for amanda. when reading emma and nicola i always feel bad for the leading man. he always gets the short end of the stick in the relationship. like he deserves more than the hot mess he fell for but in the end they get their hea and they' re trials are what makes them better. some of the transitions were choppy and timeline cloudy but it was classic emma and nicola and i loved it .
mclaughlin & kraus finally give us something worthy of a follow - up to the nanny diaries. unlike citizen girl or dedication, the protagonist here - - amanda - - is a reasonably believable, sympathetic, mostly three - dimensional character, rather than a caricature. unfortunately, the same can' t necessarily be said of her love interest, the trust - fund kid with a heart of gold, willing to risk disinheritance and his mother' s wrath for the sake of an unlikely romance with a girl from the wrong side of the tracks. but that' s okay, because the real story here isn' t the romance, it' s amanda' s climb up the ladder behind the curtain of a charismatic politician. the demands and the perks of the job are equally incredible, which makes this a fun read, and keeps amanda' s character - - and the fact that she stays in her position despite some truly crazy developments - - believable. 8 / 10 would read the sequel (except i don' t think the story actually lends itself to a sequel, so hopefully they don' t try to force one). i received a copy of this ebook from the publisher in exchange for my honest review .
dear bochaus, i would like to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to review our hotel on tripadvisor. i am sorry to see that you were not completely satisfied with your recent stay with us. i have passed your comments on to the team here in the hotel to ensure that we pick up on any areas where we can improve on our service and product offering. we usually receive really positive feedback on our golf courses particularly this time of year when the greens and fairways are in excellent condition. please feel free to contact me to let me know if there are any parts in particular of both courses you feel were not up to standard and i will ensure that our golf course superintendant receives the feedback so that he and our team of green keepers can make the necessary improvements. we are really looking forward to hosting the irish open again next june and will ensure that our golf courses will be in excellent condition as always. i do hope that we will have the opportunity of welcoming you back to carton house in the future where you are sure of a warm welcome. please feel free to contact me directly should you wish to make a booking and i would be delighted to look after the details for you. kind regards, brian bowler deputy general manager
