Live by night by dennis lehane6/30/2023 ![]() “Where I can be a pain in the ass is at the selling stage,” adds Lehane, who is so far batting 1.000 with, alongside Affleck’s films, successful adaptations of his stories by Clint Eastwood (“Mystic River,” 2003), Martin Scorsese (“Shutter Island,” 2010) and up-and-coming Belgian Michael Roskam (“The Drop,” 2014). “Yes, that’s pretty much it,” the writer confirms on a separate call to Boston, both men’s hometown. But ultimately, it needs to be the director making the movie and the novelist writes the novel.” I get advice and stuff from him early on and I screen him the movie when I’m done. “I try to be as faithful to it as I can, but I do it in my own image of how that’s going to be. “I just have tremendous respect for Dennis’ work,” Affleck says via phone from New York. But however the filmmaker goes about adapting Lehane’s books to the big screen (the first one, Affleck’s feature directing debut, was 2007’s “Gone Baby Gone”), it doesn’t need fixing. Well, collaboration may be too strong a word. “Live by Night” is the second collaboration between director-screenwriter Ben Affleck and acclaimed crime novelist Dennis Lehane. ![]()

Nine minutes by beth flynn6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So begins a tale of emotional obsession and manipulation, of a young woman ripped from everything she knows and forced to lean on the one person who provides attention, affection and care: her captor. She becomes his obsession and the one true love of his life. She gets a new name, a new identity and a new life in the midst of the gang’s base on the edge of the Florida Everglades-a frightening, rough and violent world much like the swamps themselves, where everyone has an alias and loyalty is tantamount to survival.Īnd at the center of it all is the gang’s leader, Grizz: massive, ruggedly handsome, terrifying and somehow, when it comes to Ginny, tender. On May 15, 1975, fifteen-year-old Ginny Lemon is abducted from a convenience store in Fort Lauderdale by a member of one of the most notorious and brutal motorcycle gangs in South Florida.įrom that moment on, her life is forever changed. RECOMMENDED FOR READERS 18 AND OLDER DUE TO STRONG LANGUAGE, SEXUAL SITUATIONS AND VIOLENCE. ![]()

Bargainer series by laura thalassa6/30/2023 ![]() Heck, you could even say Beauty and the Beast is a retelling of Hades and Persephone! It’s a dynamic a lot of readers like myself never get tired of it may be done quite a bit, but I will never ever really consider it an annoying cliché.
