To his customers and neighbors on 125th street, Carney is an upstanding salesman of reasonably-priced furniture, making a life for himself and his family. ‘ Ray Carney was only slightly bent when it came to being crooked…’ ‘Gloriously entertaining’ Evening Standard FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD (Now a major Amazon Prime TV show) ![]() ![]() ![]() The movie is frustrating to watch as you can see that Jamie is clearly using his time off to preoccupy himself in a way to block things and to convince himself that he's on the up but its the question of what it is he's running away from, that leaves you wondering - there are very subtle clues throughout which don't really give much away, its not until close to the end that they come together to make more sense but you could be mistaken for doubting the authenticity of the flashbacks, given the state of mind Jamie must be in at the time. The main appeal of this movie is the cast, with, as previously mentioned, Michael J Fox and Kiefer Sutherland playing the main roles of Jamie and Tad. This movie was released in the late 1980s so its very much set in the world of yuppies - hard work and even harder partying - you get the idea. Michael J Fox plays a seemingly arrogant young adult trying to live it up in the 'big city' while also trying to maintain a fairly high flying job as a writer/journalist. ![]() ![]() This movie is quite slow and depressing - the story surrounding Jamie and why he does what he does during his free time takes a while to build up.

Author Kim Stanley Robinson released a new novel this year, Aurora. ![]() ![]() ![]() Based on original interviews, oral histories, and archival documents, biographer Maxwell King traces Rogers's personal, professional, and artistic life through decades of work. The Good Neighbor is the first full-length biography of Fred Rogers, a staple of public television and an icon to generations of children. As the creator and star of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, he was a champion of compassion, equality, and kindness, fiercely devoted to children and taking their questions about the world seriously. Fred Rogers (1928-2003) was an enormously influential figure in the history of television. In today's ugly climate, full of bitterness and rage on all sides, Rogers's example feels more necessary than ever." - Washington Post Here is the definitive biography of Fred Rogers, children's television pioneer and American cultural icon, an educator and entertainer who brought new empathy to television and helped children face complex issues such as divorce, discipline, mistakes, anger, and competition.
