yeah , it’s a shame three children were orphaned . let’s move on to helen .

because helen takes no real risks , because she lives surrounded by the safeguards of formula fiction , " saving helen " is fated from its first shot to be obedient to convention .

tragedy strikes . their sister lindsay ( felicity huffman ) and her husband are killed in an accident , and in her will , lindsay leaves custody of her small son and daughter , not to jenny the perfect homemaker , but to helen the fast - track girl . how can this be ? helen and jenny are both appalled , but helen takes on the task of raising little henry and sarah , played by real - life siblings spencer and abigail breslin .

imagine if you will the concept of jersey girl expanded by a factor of three . now , factor in a touch of the dakota fanning / brittany murphy relationship from uptown girls . sprinkle with salt , add a touch of lemon , and you have the recipe for raising helen .

helen has devoted a life’s work to helping others and her wonderful story is told in the spellbinder , written by adrian williams and first published to mark both helen’s 90th birthday and the centre’s 40th anniversary .

on the first half of the end credits , helen and dan were on a zamboni in the dark .

the war , marriage and the job of raising a family meant that helen’s educational difficulties faded into the background for several years . “i think i was aware that my husband thought i was rather stupid , but it wasn’t a big issue , ” she said with one of her characteristic peals of laughter .

the only interesting aspect of summerland is its timing . the series debuted the same week as the new garry marshall movie raising helen , which stars kate hudson as a carefree fashionista whose fabulous life is altered when her sister dies in a car crash , leaving a will stipulating that she has to take care of sis ' s trio of mourning kids . it would take the wisdom of solomon to decide between two such identical entities . luckily , the american audience has that wisdom , conferring sort - of hit status on summerland and showing mild disinterest to raising helen . how did they decide ? god only knows . . .

to obtain comedy , you don ' t give helen problems and then supply a man who solves them ; you supply a man who brings in additional problems . i can imagine this premise being passed through the imagination of a director like gurinder chadha ( " bend it like beckham , " " what ' s cooking ? " ) and emerging fresh and exciting . " raising helen " is tame and timid from beginning to end , and relentlessly conventional .

picking up where the feature film of the same title leaves off , comedy follows a young manhattanite as she struggles to balance her new hard - won job at a modeling agency with raising her recently orphaned nephew and nieces .

helen was born in holland on 17 august 1920 . her father emil huitfeldt was in the norwegian diplomatic service and her english mother dorothy latham was born and bred in frensham , the surrey village which was eventually to become the home of helen arkell .

raising helen , now available on www . tonton . com . my ! synopsis ( from imdb . com ) : after her sister and brother - in - law die in a car accident , a young woman becomes the guardian of their three children . starring : kate hudson , john corbett , joan cusack , hayden panettiere , abigail breslin , spencer breslin

" raising helen " is a perfectly pleasant comedy in which nice people do good things despite challenges which are difficult but not excessive . as a pilot for a tv sitcom it would probably be picked up , but it ' s not compelling enough to involve a trip to the movies . from beginning to end , we ' ve been there , seen that .

hudson is fine as helen in the early scenes , enjoying her own deliciousness as mistress of her universe . what ' s more fun to watch here is the way hudson holds up as helen ' s world falls apart around her . helen isn ' t sure she can give or deserve the kind of affection required by the children and by the pastor . helen must also be willing not to be completely loved every single second . hudson shows us as an actress that is a lesson she has already learned .

garry marshall is a smart director with more of a comic edge than this movie allows him . i wonder if at any point he considered darkening the material even a little , and making hudson ' s character a shade more desperate and less lucy - like . there ' s nothing at risk in " raising helen . " we ' re not even surprised the kids go to helen and not her sister , because the sister is written in a way that makes her impossible as a parental candidate .

helen harris ( kate hudson ) is living the high life in new york city and working for a top - modeling agency , when her sister and brother - in - law die in an auto accident . her good times are over when she gets a letter from her sister ' s attorney . helen has been given custody of her sister ' s three children . helen has never raised any children , and she thinks her older sister , jenny ( joan cusack ) is better qualified to raise the children . helen accepts the custody of the three children , and they move to a new apartment in queens . helen loved staying out late and going to nightclubs , but she now has to take care of the children . helen is forced to change her lifestyle and become a real mom , which in turn gets her fired from her glamorous job . in the end , helen learns what is really important in life . douglas young ( the - movie - guy )

the single and successful executive of the fashion world , helen harris ( kate hudson ) , becomes the guardian of her two nieces and one nephew after the death of her sister and her brother - in - law . she moves from manhattan to queens , and faces difficulties trying to raise the children . " raising helen " is another absurd and corny hollywoodian tale , or fairytale , or s * * t tale . there are some few funny moments , but the story has an absolute lack of logic and coherence . the changing of the character of helen , from a fashionable independent single woman of manhattan developing her successful career in the fashion world into a suburban mother of stepson and stepdaughters is one of the most ridiculous and corny i have ever seen . i like joan cusack , hector elizondo , kate hudson and john corbett , i tried to like this movie , but the screenplay is a shallow unbelievable crap . my vote is four . title ( brazil ) : " um presente para helen " ( " a gift for helen " )

helen harris is living the life she ' s always dreamed of : her career at a top modeling agency is on the rise ; she spends her days at fashion shows and her nights at the city ' s hottest clubs . but her carefree lifestyle comes to a screeching halt when one phone call changes everything . helen soon finds herself responsible for her sister ' s children : 15 - year - old audrey , 10 - year - old henry , and 5 - year - old sarah . no one doubts that helen is the coolest aunt in new york , but what does this glamour girl know about raising kids ? the fun begins as helen goes through the transformation from super - hip to super - mom , but she quickly finds that dancing at 3a . m . doesn ' t mix with getting kids to school on time - - advice that helen ' s older sister , jenny , is only too quick to dish out . along the way , helen finds support in the most unusual place - - with dan parker , the handsome young pastor and principal of the kids ' new school - - and realizes the choice she has to make is between the life she ' s always loved . . .

kate hudson plays helen harris , an executive assistant at a top modeling agency . helen is really into her job and all its accoutrements ( dating male models , nonstop partying , etc ) . helen has two sisters , both of whom are married with children . it is a rule in low - rent domestic tearjerkers that there must be a scene in which all the characters dance and lip synch to an oldie , and so we get a scene in which helen and her extended family bop around the living room to a classic devo tune . has your family ever done this ? do you know of any family that ever has ?

the kids adore their cool aunt helen , so they want her to be their substitute mommy , leaving the kate hudson character no choice but to comply . as you might imagine , this causes a substantial amount of upheaval in helen ' s life as she has suddenly going from being trendy urbanite to mundane soccer mom .

romantic interest is provided in the form of pastor dan ( john corbett ) , who runs the parochial school she enrolls the children in . he’s a patented nice guy who tries to help her out . we know they are meant to be together by the way she suddenly becomes stupid in his presence ; helen is supposed to be smart enough to manage top models , yet she believes pastor dan’s joke about proving her religion through a blood test . eventually a big crisis rears its ugly head , forcing helen to take the job of raising children seriously . she then sets out to prove her newfound seriousness to jenny .

helen harris is living the life she ' s always dreamed of : her career at a top modeling agency is on the rise ; she spends her days at fashion shows and her nights at the city ' s hottest clubs . but her carefree lifestyle comes to a screeching halt when one phone call changes everything . helen soon finds herself responsible for her sister ' s children : 15 - year - old audrey , 10 - year - old henry , and 5 - year - old sarah . no one doubts that helen is the coolest aunt in new york , but what does this glamour girl know about raising kids ? the fun begins as helen goes through the transformation from super - hip to super - mom , but she quickly finds that dancing at 3a . m . doesn ' t mix with getting kids to school on time - - advice that helen ' s older sister , jenny , is only too quick to dish out . along the way , helen finds support in the most unusual place - - with dan parker , the handsome young pastor and principal of the kids ' new school - - and realizes the choice she has to make is between the life she ' s always loved and the new loves of her life . written by sujit r . varma

families can talk about how they think about plans to care for children in case of tragedy . why did the children ' s parents choose helen instead of jenny ?

although predictable in places , the romantic dramedy represents hollywood ' s refreshingly realistic correction of the 20th century feminism : it is possible for unexpected , ill - timed motherhood , with all its emotional and financial hassles , to gratify a woman in a way unsurpassed even by a successful career in the fashion industry , a manhattan zip code , and lenient sex life . helen soon learns—as all people raising children do—that she can ' t have it all . manhattan gives . . .

this latest take on a familiar setup is not a romantic comedy , as suggested by the trailers and commercials . raising helen is more of a light drama with some comic and tragic moments . it has a solid script and a strong cast led by the deliciously twinkly kate hudson , with helen mirrin as her boss , joan cusack and felicity huffman as her sisters , sakina jaffrey as one tough bat - wielding mother of a neighbor , and john corbett providing guidance , support , and some romantic interest as the lutheran pastor who is principal of the school . that puts it way ahead of garbage like cop and a half and curly sue .

helen and her other sister jenny ( joan cusack ) are in shock when they hear lindsay & paul left helen in charge of their three kids : 15 - year - old audrey ( hayden panettiere ) , 10 - year - old henry ( spencer breslin ) , and five - year - old sarah ( abigail breslin ) . convinced she can raise the kids and maintain her already fast - paced schedule , helen quickly finds herself burnt out and disheartened by her responsibilities and jenny ' s lack of faith .

emil’s job meant that the family changed countries regularly . after holland came berlin and then a posting to denmark , which was where helen was to spend most of her childhood .

helen harris ( kate hudson ) is very successful in the fashion industry and has a nice manhattan lifestyle which keeps her extremely occupied and content . helen ' s world suddenly changes when her sister lindsay ( felicity huffman ) and brother - in - law paul ( sean o ' bryan ) die in a car accident turning everyone ' s life upside down .

“i have remained a devoted admirer of helen since meeting her 40 years ago . without her pioneering work , countless dyslexics would still be struggling at the back of the classroom . ”

helen then received a letter from her sister to say that carl had been diagnosed as word - blind . he had difficulties with spelling , reading , number work and organisation , just like helen . “i made up my mind that next time i went to denmark i would go and see the person who had diagnosed my nephew and was now teaching him . ”

helen harris ( hudson ) is living the life she always dreamed of . her career at a top manhattan modeling agency , working for dominique ( helen mirren ) , is on the rise ; she spends her days at fashion shows and her nights at the city ' s hottest clubs . but her carefree lifestyle comes to a screeching halt when one phone call changes everything .

kate hudson stars in this romantic comedy from feelgood specialist garry marshall as helen , a fast - living fashion agent who ' s left to bring up her sister ' s kids - nightmare teenager audrey ( hayden panettiere ) , ten year old henry ( spencer breslin ) and little cutie sarah ( breslin ' s sister abigail ) following a tragic accident . but with great responsibility comes great pandemonium . luckily , helen finds a personal saviour in john corbett ' s priest , a self - proclaimed " sexy man of god . " helen mirren and joan cusack join the throng .

if helen has any notions that she can be a mom and keep her agency job , she ' s disabused by dominique , who expects total dedication . soon helen has lost her job , moved her little family to a lower - middle - class neighborhood in queens , and enrolled the kids in a nearby lutheran school run by pastor dan ( john corbett ) , who is single and therefore preordained to fall in love with helen , although not before many plot - laden details have been worked through . she gets a job in a car dealership run by the unfailingly dynamic hector elizondo .

helen is a hip agent in an extremely fashionable model agency , living it up in nyc when she hears of the death of her sister and brother - in - law . completely to her and her other sister ' s surprise , she is given custody of the 3 children . exchanging fashion for family , helen and the children explore what makes a family and how they can grow together .

helen received an mbe in 1999 for her work in dyslexia and further royal recognition followed in 2003 when she was honoured as a pioneer to the life of the nation at a buckingham palace reception .

when the war ended the arkell family came back to frensham and moved in with helen’s parents at hollowdene . but the marriage did not run smoothly and it was to end in separation and eventually divorce .

after the sudden death of her sister , high - flying career woman helen harris becomes the guardian of her three children and must make some tough decisions . realising that she is unable to reconcile her new

the centre was founded by helen , joy pollock and elisabeth waller and first opened its doors in london on 26 april 1971 . it has been based at its current location in frensham , surrey , since 1987 .

this is a great movie for girls 13 and up . i watched it at a sleepover with two of my friends and i loved it ! there is some implied sex , helen unbuttons a guy . . . continue reading

helen had spent a couple of years being educated at home before going to the convent school , where the teachers merely felt she was slow on the uptake rather than having any insight that her problems might be more serious .

helen arkell overcame her own dyslexia to become an inspirational figure for many who felt the benefit of her support , advice and expertise . children who were chronically dyslexic but successful in adulthood give her the credit for changing their lives .

helen ' s life takes a dramatic turn one day when her older sister and brother - in - law are killed in a car accident . their three children – audrey ( hayden panettiere ) , kenny ( spencer breslin ) , and sarah ( abigail breslin ) - have been orphaned , so they need a guardian . it ' s assumed that helen ' s sister , jenny ( the always enjoyable joan cusack ) , will be chosen for this assignment . while helen was born with grace and charm , she ' s somewhat lacking in the maturity category , and her carefree ways don ' t exactly jibe with parenting like jenny ' s . to both women ' s surprise , their deceased sister has different ideas .

kate hudson , who stars , seems to be following in the footsteps of her mother , goldie hawn ; both have genuine talent , but choose too often to bury themselves in commercial formulas . hudson plays helen harris , a high - powered manhattan career woman who works as the personal assistant to dominique ( helen mirren ) , the head of a famous modeling agency . she works hard , is on call 24 - 7 , and even when she parties , she ' s talent - scouting . she has a sister named jenny ( joan cusack ) who lives in the suburbs and raises her children as a disciplined time - and - motion study . jenny ' s house , helen observes , looks like a showroom at the pottery barn .

despite her already hectic schedule , helen finds the time to develop a genuine affection for her new dependents , as well as an equally genuine attraction to dan parker ( john corbett ) , the kids ' school principal and local lutheran pastor . eventually , helen realizes she can ' t balance the two lives , and is faced with a difficult decision , her fashion career or her nieces and nephew . by luck , she got promoted to agent with her modeling agency and keep the kids as well .

helen struggled on at the convent school in copenhagen until she was 16 . her father retired at that time and decided that rather than returning home to norway , he would relocate the family to england . helen’s maternal grandparents , morton and agnes latham , who had both died recently , had lived in hollowdene , a rambling victorian house with vast grounds in frensham . the house overlooks what is now frensham recreation ground , an area of land which was presented to the village by dorothy huitfeldt in memory of her husband and parents .

despite helen’s adaptability and capability with languages , coping with the lessons was another matter altogether . “i was very bad at school . i read very inadequately and very , very slowly and my writing was atrocious . i found putting my thoughts on paper was extremely difficult .

helen is at the newsagent ' s and is happy for tinka ' s success . her bag falls from her shoulder to the forearm , but in the next shot the bag is back on the shoulder . in the next shot , the bag is back on the forearm .

the single and successful executive of the fashion world , helen harris , becomes the guardian of her two nieces and one nephew after the death of her sister and her brother - in - law . she moves from manhattan to queens , and faces difficulties trying to raise the children .

the romance between helen and pastor dan progresses with agonizing slowness , complicated by helen ' s belief that lutheran ministers cannot marry ( her attempts to fake lutheranism to get her kids into the school is amusing , but could have been subtler ) . finally pastor dan breaks the ice : " i ' m a sexy man of god , and i know it . " then there are the scenes where the kids resent this man who seems about to replace their father , and the obligatory group visit to the zoo , scored with the obligatory use of simon and garfunkel ' s " at the zoo . "

then older sister lindsay ( felicity huffman ) and her husband are killed in a car accident . the will leaves custody of their three children to helen , not to jenny ( joan cusack ) , the anal - retentive responsible sister . the reason for this perplexing choice is explained in two letters , one to each sister , the contents of which are not revealed until it’s dramatically appropriate ( i . e . at the end ) . helen attempts to take care of adolescent audrey ( hayden panettiere ) and youngsters henry ( spencer breslin ) and sarah ( abigail breslin ) . however , this means quitting her agency job and working at (

helen ( kate hudson ) , a young woman who thinks she has everything she wants , including a glamorous job in a modeling agency . she gets to go to parties and wear chic clothes and be the cool aunt to her sisters ' children , the fun one who thinks that fake ids are great and shows that you never really have to grow up . but then helen ' s sister and brother - in - law are killed in an accident and it turns out that they left their three children not to the older , stable , potpourri - loving earth mother sister jenny ( joan cusack ) but to helen . helen is willing , if a bit shell - shocked . but for the first time she has taken on some problems that can ' t be solved with a dazzling smile . the three children show her how messy , exhausting , painful , more exhausting , expensive , scary , difficult , and then even more exhausting life can be . she will think of it as an unbearable burden . she will have to leave manhattan for brooklyn and take time from her job for an emergency involving shoelace - tying . she will make mistakes and let people down . she will worry that she is not up to the challenge . and she will get a chance to find out whether she is .

veteran director garry marshall and screenwriters jack amiel and michael begler aim to strike a balance between romantic comedy and heartstring - tugger in this blandly wholesome , good - natured bit of escapism , but its predictability and clichéd plot make it instantly forgettable . kate hudson stars as perky young helen harris , whose eye for spotting new talent . . . read more

however strong the feelings were , helen kept them to herself . “my parents were very busy and i suspect they didn’t think too much about me . they were the last people i would have talked to about it – i didn’t talk to anybody . i had friends who might have helped me by correcting my spelling but i never really confided in them either . ”

“but because my parents didn’t know how long we would be there , they thought a danish school would be a bit useless for me because it wouldn’t apply much anywhere else , ” recalls helen . “so they sent me to a french convent school in copenhagen . this was for oddities like me who didn’t have much of a background in education . it wasn’t a very conventional learning school .

most of helen ' s lessons in survival come not from her sister , a forbiddingly humorless caricature , but from her across - the - hall indian neighbor nilma prasad ( sakina jaffrey ) , who , just like all neighbors in sitcoms , is willing to drop her own life at a moment ' s notice to play a supporting role in the heroine ' s ; she channels ethel mertz .

helen huitfeldt went through her entire childhood and early adult life believing she was stupid . not until she was well into her twenties did she become aware that she might be suffering from a condition which at that time was known as word - blindness and is now recognised as dyslexia . the discovery was to change her life in ways she could never have imagined as she struggled through her schooldays .

our heroine , helen ( played by almost famous band - aid / goddess kate hudson ) , is a rising star at a metropolitan modeling agency . all of the bigwigs are impressed by what a natural she is despite the smothering , kinetic pace of this industry . she ' s hip and fun , a rising star in the big apple , and the model equivalent of a can ' t - miss prospect .

this left helen as a single mother who , in her own words , was totally unqualified for anything . but the end of the war had also allowed her to resume contact with other members of the family . her sister binkie and her family were in denmark and her brother paul and his family were in norway . as both countries were under german occupation , communication during the war had been virtually impossible apart from an occasional red cross letter .

eventually they returned to hollowdene and it was not long before helen met and fell in love with an army officer called john arkell . “he was in the territorials and he was going to be sent to finland – everything happened in a tearing hurry and i was married when i was 19 . but in the event my husband didn’t go to finland or anywhere else – he was an instructor at catterick camp for most of the war and two of my three children were born there . ”

in the face of all these dramatic changes , helen also discovers romantic entanglements . during the new family ' s move to the borough of queens , they have picked up a stray in the form of local pastor , dan ( everyone ' s favorite northern exposure dj , john corbett ) . the man of god falls fast and hard for this struggling woman faced with so many dramatic changes in her life . it ' s also worth noting that the three kids need a strong father figure .

the huitfeldts moved into the empty house and to helen’s alarm her parents then began to discuss which english school she should go to . “i was absolutely horrified because i didn’t think my english was very good , but in the end i received private tuition from a retired eton schoolmaster who lived nearby . sometimes an extra teacher might have been brought in for maths , but i never could add two and two together ! my mother was quite musical so i was sent to piano lessons and i was absolutely useless at that too . ”

a s far as heartwarming comedies go , this one has all the parts necessary : the heart , the warmth , and the comedy . at the outset , the storytellers get the heart commiserating with three grieving children—audrey ( hayden panettiere ) , henry ( spencer breslin ) , and sarah ( abigail breslin ) —when their parents are killed in a car accident . the heart warms as the kids ' supercool young aunt gives up her exciting career , and the perks that come with it , to take on the uncool role of the orphaned kids ' guardian . the chuckles come easily , even in the predictable moments , as you watch dazzling helen harris ( kate hudson ) grow into her new skin .

romantic comedy starring kate hudson as helen harris , a 20 - something manhattan socialite with a successful fashion career . however , her dream lifestyle is brought to a shuddering halt when she gets a phone call to inform her that not only are her sister and brother - in - law dead , but she must now assume reponsibility for their three children aged 15 , 12 and 5 . convinced that she can bring them up and maintain her hectic schedule , she throws herself into her new responsibilities - but soon finds herself burnt out and unable to cope . an unlikely source of support - and , over time , a deeper attraction - comes from the children ' s school principal and local pastor dan parker ( john corbett ) .

in which puss in boots stops and makes cutesy , goo - goo kitty eyes at people ? well , this movie is like that look . it’s so cloying , designed to manipulate your heartstrings at every conceivable turn . the problem is that manipulation quickly becomes apparent . you eventually realize that there’s no substance here . that fact is evident in the big things – you can foresee every single plot development coming long before it actually gets there – as well as in the small things . every element is designed to show that helen is a good person who loves children and will make a wonderful mother just as soon as she grows up . pardon my skepticism , but i believe the kids would have been better off with jenny .

the movie , directed by garry marshall ( " pretty woman " ) , is not unaware of the lifestyle differences between single manhattan career women and receptionists in queens . not even after helen unloads an eyesore green lincoln and is promoted to sales does she have the money , or the skills , to make things work - - even though she learns fast . but she ' s let off fairly easily . the movie exists in the kind of economy where one working - class paycheck could just about support a family , and where city kids went to the wholesome parochial school down the street . times are harder now , but the movie doesn ' t know it - - can ' t afford to , if its sunny disposition is to prevail .

parents need to know that this movie has some strong language . characters drink and smoke . helen ' s smoking , imitated by one of the children , is evidence of her carefree lifestyle ; we see her wearing a nicotine patch after she has to begin to be more responsible . similarly , as the fun aunt she approves of a fake id for an underage girl ; as the parent , she does not . and before she has the children , she has casual sex , but afterward she is ready for a more complete relationship . an underage couple plan to have sex but are stopped in time . some members of the audience will find the movie ' s portrayal of public school to be unfair . a strength of the movie is friendship between diverse characters .

just a month ago it was looking as if 2004 would suffer through a disastrous summer as the first two tent - pole releases failed to live up to expectations . however , since then we ' ve had record after record fall . the first weekend in june continued this trend as the top 3 films broke several records between them . since it was a post holiday weekend , a drop in the overall box office was expected , but with a decline of just 2 . 8 % to $ 186 . 7 million it was enough to become the largest ever 3 - day weekend . and the increase from last year was an incredible 14 . 6 % there ' s more and more to celebrate about 2004 .

would be in the top three , if not number one . and because of that , it ' s no surprise that no other studio would try and take on harry potter .

in retrospect , i may have been a little harsh on the new films opening this weekend as two of the three earned more during the 3 - day weekend than i thought they ' d earn during the 4 - day weekend . and that helped this memorial day long weekend become the biggest weekend ever . comparing the 3 - day total we see a 12 . 4 % increase from last weekend and a 9 . 9 % increase from last year . however , last year at this time it was not memorial day . compared to last year ' s memorial day the three - day portion is up 16 . 9 % and the four - day potion is up an incredible 22 % to nearly $ 250 million . this will create a lot of buzz , which will result in free publicity for the rest of the summer movies .

should repeat as winner at the box office . and at least one , and possibly both , of the wide releases could be d . o . a .

during the past week promotional websites for several movies were launched and some older ones added additional content . here the list of this week ' s releases , a couple of new sites and few updates including the winner for the week ,

. if you know of any new movie websites not on this list feel free to e - mail me with the details .

during the past week promotional websites for several movies were launched and some older ones added additional content . here the list of this week ' s releases , a couple of new sites and few updates . it was another deceptively slow week as there are lots of site on the list , but none stood out as an award winning site . many were simple placeholders , others had just minor updates , and the only three flash sites to launch were mostly marked coming soon . i was even tempted to not give out an award or maybe even bring in a

may marks the start of summer , at least according to the movie industry . and while memorial day weekend is the official start of summer , the first weekend in may is becoming increasingly important . so it ' s no surprise that there are 8 movies set for wide released during the upcoming month . . . . wait a minute ; that can ' t be right . with just 8 movies opening each week there will be the potential blockbuster and the counter - programming movie , thereby maximizing profits . obviously this has to change .

this week ' s new batch of movie release dates has some more shuffling around of this summer ' s blockbusters , and even next summer ' s blockbusters . we also have release dates for some smaller ( and more interesting ) movies . among movies with moved dates :

each week , the studios do another dance , shuffling around the release dates of their movies in an effort to best position themselves for future success . this week sees the sudden disappearance of

[ garry marshall ] piles on the cornball touches with the sledgehammer effect of a bad sitcom director .

this ode to the most stifling aspects of family and motherhood make you feel like the hicks have all uprooted themselves and moved into the front office at touchstone .

even those who seek the undemanding entertainment of life troubles being bravely dealt with might end up wishing they were given more than just sitcom resolutions .

far from the worst cookie - cutter film to come off the hollywood assembly line , merely the latest .

marshall does a decent job with this film , keeping everything ' nice ' as you find in most of his movies .

yet another social fable about women in distress from gary marshall with no foundation in any reality and a mannered , irritating performance from kate hudson .

satisfying only because of joan cusack ' s sterling performance . will somebody please give that actress a starring role in her own vehicle ?

i really hate john corbett and kate hudson together . is it just me ? ? he seems way too old for her here and the whole man of god thing had a serious ick factor for me too . i think if they had have had a different character for the male romantic lead , and cast someone better suited to her , i may have liked this a little more . there was a not too bad story there otherwise , and some familiar faces in the cast of kids .

another money vehicle for kate hudson , only joan cusack makes it any level of watchable . full review later .

james soon discovers the source of the commotion : a peach has begun to grow on a top branch of a previously barren peach tree . as the three of them watch , the peach becomes larger and larger , until it is bigger than the aunts ' entire house . seeking to capitalize on this strange event , aunt sponge and aunt spiker set up a fence and begin charging admission to see the peach . they forbid james from interfering , fearing that he will ruin their profit - making scheme . the night after the first day of visitors , james sneaks out of the house to visit the peach . he sees a hole at the bottom of the peach , and he realizes that this hole is the opening to a tunnel . he begins to crawl through , and he eventually enters the hollow peach pit at the center of the fruit .

your climate plays an important role in whether a peach tree will produce fruit or even survive . before ordering a tree , make sure its recommended hardiness zone range includes your area . peach trees tend to grow most successfully in zones 5 - 8 , but we also offer cold - hardy peach trees for the cooler climates in parts of the north ( zone 4 ) and heat - tolerant varieties for the warmer climates in parts of the south and west ( zone 9 ) .

nam sang mi as park seung ah opens the movie by stopping by the window of the shop she used to work at and then going into a bookstore to buy the children’s storybook the peach tree and she narrates the story to a little boy she happens to run into . the start of the story talks about how people would consider the twins’ appearance as that of a monster , but they were not monsters , just different . we then cut to the meat of the story .

while most of our peach trees are self - pollinating , we still recommend planting another variety in your yard for optimum fruit production . for the peach trees that do require pollination by a different variety , be sure to check the item description to see which pollinators our experts recommend . in those cases , the absence of proper pollination could cause your tree to produce poorly or to fail to bear fruit .

their parents [ played by seo hyun jin and lee joon hyuk in the younger years ] lived a normal and happy life . they dated under a peach tree and collected its fruit . they were excited to have their own peach - colored child be born . things were going great for them until the actual birth when they got something they had not bargained on—the “monstrously” conjoined twins ( which , sang hyeon later describes , were actually born in the shape of a peach…but how does that make sense when sang hyeon didn’t have a body to call his own ? ) . the mother went bonkers after that and on a stormy day tried to kill her newborn children , but her husband stopped her in time .

retired extension agent mike dennison shows how to spray a peach tree . before you spray , read the label and follow the safety guidelines on it . wear long pants , a long sleeve shirt , and rubber gloves . it is likely the spray will drift onto you so the protective gear is important . the tree mike is spraying is about 8 feet tall and 8 feet in diameter so he needs between half a gallon and a gallon of spray . the tree he is spraying still has some blooms , so he will not be spraying an insecticide on this application . he will be spraying a fungicide to try to control brown rot . mike uses a fan nozzle on his sprayer . he sprays the top and bottom of the leaves along with the limbs and trunk . spray almost to the point of runoff . because the tree was pruned to an open center it is easy to spray . click below for more videos on spraying , peaches , and other gardening topics : spraying malathion urltoken pruning peaches : urltoken canning peaches : urltoken subscribe to family plot for more fun gardening videos like these ! urltoken visit urltoken for more information !

linda mechanic , ptp ' s guiding light and founder , began working on the wheel in 1986 and shared her passion for this art form with others until 2011 . she is profoundly missed by all of us in the peach tree pottery family . her partner carolynn larocca has kept the doors to ptp open , in part as a tribute to linda ' s legacy and also to honor the work and art of our pottery friends . jen davis carries on her aunt linda ' s tradition as peach tree pottery ' s owner and teacher . jen graduated from michigan state university with a bfa in studio art in 2005 . she teaches both wheel throwing and handbuilding techniques . in her own work , jen primarily plays with wheel - thrown altered forms and alternative glazing .

finally , the ultimate end - point of ' the peach tree ' will likely be predicted a fair way before its actual appearance but even here the juxtaposition of future hope with hindsight sadness speaks of a film whose sum is greater than its individual parts ; and considering the fact that this is only film - maker , actress and singer koo hye - sun ' s second feature - length production as director , that really is quite an accolade .

in the past i have issued grave parental warning about menus that are too long ; that draw on too many culinary cultures ; that appear too damn eager to please . the menus at the peach tree and its siblings appear to commit all of these crimes , but are now found not guilty . don’t be mistaken . it is not some modern wonder of the culinary world . instead , it’s the sort of smart act any medium - sized town in the uk would want on their high street instead of the myriad identikit chains . miraculously , they make it work .

similarly , ' the peach tree ' has a great deal to say and while its initial detailing of si - yeon ' s inability to come to terms with dong - hyun and sang - hyun ' s disability - or even to accept the fact that she gave birth to what she deems a monstrous abhorrence of nature - plays only a tiny outward part in proceedings it nonetheless deftly underpins the boys ' psyches throughout their entire story ; the majority of the themes of acceptance being dong - hyun and sang - hyun ' s understanding of themselves and acquiescence of each other but their continued efforts to convince themselves that they were approved of , and ultimately loved by , their mother - their need to tell themselves that she had smiled even once when she looked at them - ultimately shapes the very core of who they are . with the introduction of seung - ah to the story , it would have been all too easy to use her character as the personification of society ' s perceptions and prejudices at large but thankfully ' the peach tree ' takes a far more nuanced approach and , in fact , when the outside world eventually becomes aware of dong - hyun and sang - hyun and tries to create the ' freak show ' it was always bound to , seung - ah comes to stand as the reason within the insanity ; the love within the voyeurism ; and the acceptance within a largely uncaring world .

disappointing . that ' s the best word to describe this book . i have read sarah addison allen ' s previous books , and i have generally enjoyed them . they ' re basically alice hoffman knock - offs , but that ' s okay , that ' s what i was looking for . when i read the description for this latest book , i was excited . it sounded like an interesting story , with all the small - town elements i enjoy . and the problem is , the basic plot elements are really interesting : a skeleton found beneath a peach tree on an old dere

the fiercely branded frontages suggest three separate businesses . but go inside havana republic , the raw wood bar and dangling bulbs nicely offsetting those tudor beams , and you’ll see a doorway on the right . that leads through to momo - no - ki , the ramen bar , with its obligatory blond wood benches and tables . it calls itself “the home of ramen in shrewsbury” and who am i to argue ? ramen always needs somewhere to lay its head . there’s another doorway that leads into the peach tree , an altogether fancier set of spaces with vaulted ceilings , more gnarled beams and shiny , oversized ceramics . in the corner , there’s a digital grand piano , which makes me fear for the great american songbook .

omg this is so exciting ! i ' ve been waiting for a cho seung - woo movie project and it finally came true ! i don ' t really know the rest of the cast , besides choi daniel . he ' s a cool actor , an adorable one actually ( based on my watching of cyrano agency ) . i never watched magic and i there ' s really no more information of peach tree , but i ' ll be looking forward otherwise . yay awesomes !

peach tree is described as a “fairy - tale - like fantasy” and aims to begin shooting this spring . perhaps it’ll do better than her previous ( and debut ) feature , magic . one thing in her favor is that gu’s directorial achilles heel appears to be overambitiousness / pretentiousness ( rather than , say , a lack of talent or banality of vision ) , which is something that added experience can go a long way toward alleviating .

this wasn ' t terrible , but it lacks that spark of magic allen ' s readers have grown to love . late in the book there ' s a chapter called " the joker , the stick man , the princess , and the freak . " that should have been the book ' s title . there ' s not really anything about " peach keeping " in the story except one little thing near the end that feels like it was tossed in to justify the title . the story ' s about four thirty - year - olds who finally come to terms with high school pettiness and decide to get on w

sarah addison allen writes magic : her stories are full of strong southern women , sweetness and secrets . in the peach keeper : a novel , she once again weaves a wonderful tale of two southern women , distant in the present but bound together by the past and a powerful secret . paxton osgood has spent her life being the girl and then the woman that everyone seemed to expect her to be . willa jackson is just the opposite . she defied convention and her grandmother ' s attempt at a strict upbringing , only to ' lock down ' that wild child to become a responsible adult . neither woman is truly happy , each wanting some part of who the other is , not realizing that what marks them as different , really makes them so much the same . paxton is in charge of the restoration of the blue ridge madam , a spectacular home formerly owned by willa ' s ancestors , but lost during the financial crisis of the depression . during the landscaping , a skeleton is dug up from beneath the lone peach tree . the skeleton brings to light secrets from the past , secrets of a magic man who held the town captive under his spell . secrets belonging to willa ' s grandmother georgie and paxton ' s grandmother adele . the secret brings the younger women together , in an attempt to protect the older ones . their unlikely alliance leads each woman to discover something special and magical about herself , love and the power of friendship . i am a huge admirer of sarah addison allen ' s work . the peach keeper : a novel tells a wonderful story of love , loss and regrets . it reminds us that we all need to be who we are , not who we think we should be and that we all need to open some space up in our lives for something good to come in .

rating 3 . 5 the peach keeper tells the story of the people that live in walls of water , north carolina . focusing on a select few , their friendships , their loves , their struggles , and their secrets . the blue ridge madam is a very old house that is being restored to her former glory . the story is a bit about that restoration , the grand gala that is being thrown for it , the people that it brings together , and the unearthing of stories that have remained buried for years . i liked this one , but expected

they begin to cut the seagull strings one - by - one , when suddenly a passenger plane flies above them and cuts all of the lines at once . their gradual descent into the city is ruined and they begin to sink rapidly . everyone holds on for dear life , thinking death is imminent , but they land safely on the pinnacle of the empire state building . after explaining their situation to the new york city policemen and firemen , james and his friends are brought to street level and are welcomed lavishly . the city throws a parade in their honor , and by the end of the parade the entire peach has been eaten by local children , who want to taste the giant fruit .

the menu was not only very limited with nothing really standing out but also very expensive . one family member ordered the sausages and mash only when the food was delivered the sausages were raw . when the food was brought back out a second time , the . . .

i can ' t give this studio six stars ? ! that doesn ' t seem right . jen is an absolutely amazing person and incredibly talented teacher ! i had never even touched clay before going to peach tree pottery for my first lesson , but friends had always told me that i should try it out - so i finally bit the bullet . honestly , i couldn ' t be happier . the studio is in a great location , offers a very cozy atmosphere , and everyone at the studio is down to earth and willing to help . my lesson was with jen . she gave me great insight on how to work with the clay , gave detailed ( yet simple ) instructions , and made me feel like i knew what i was doing . jen let me take control and only assisted when it was needed . one thing that i ' d always been afraid of was walking into a studio for the first time only to have the teacher throw my first piece for me . . . that ' s not the case here . after my session , i felt accomplished in having done everything on my own , while jen watched and carefully tutored me on my approach and handling of the clay . she gave great tips on how to form the clay in order to create the shape that i was after , was encouraging the entire time , and even complimented me on my first time throwing . at the end of my session , i didn ' t want to leave ! eventually , i was able to see my finished work and couldn ' t be happier with how it turned out . watching the process of turning a ball of colorless clay into a beautiful bowl / mug / vase / etc . is a thrilling experience that you will definitely want to share with peach tree pottery . aside from the studio itself , the other folks that come in are great ! everyone has wonderful personalities , are all easy to talk to , and quickly became friends . you can tell that there is a really wonderful and loving community within peach tree pottery that i would encourage anyone to become a part of . i ' ll be back , and i hope to see you there !

i think it’s kind of up in the air whether or not the mother’s health got the better of her or if she committed suicide . sang hyeon , who narrates the entire story , talks about the last letter their mother left behind…so i think it could have been suicide , but that really isn’t 100 % clear . for dong hyeon , going to see their mother was the worst thing ever . he was frightened of her . his twin , however , was excited and was always smiling . the last time they saw their mother she was somewhat normal and then she freaked out on them and they ran away to the peach tree . they climbed up it to hide from her and sang hyeon talks about that final moment where it was the last they saw their mother and how she smiled beautifully . from this point on we get to hear sang hyeon constantly say he feels everything is solely his fault , which he starts iterating from this point in the movie forward .

the unadorned walls of water , north carolina , will certainly be broached a tad by the expected events everyone could see coming by page 20 ! i had to close my eyes because it was difficult to endure what was endlessly rolling out before me . really . i had to close my eyes ! the lack of any tension or excitement in the plot of ' the peach keeper ' was exceptionally stressful . but i pushed on , bringing it , climbing the walls , diving into the waters . despite my best effort , i was a drifting a bit all at

and so to the peach tree menu , which includes among its starters a take on fergus henderson ’s famed roast bone marrow with a parsley salad and sourdough toast . sadly , it’s off today . instead we try their duck liver pâté . it comes with a cherry jelly , onion compôte and the sort of fine , rugged toast you could build viable models of stonehenge out of on a slow night . this is where it becomes interesting . because as well as making more than agreeable japanese dumplings , this kitchen can also produce a fine classic pâté , whipped and smoothed and set , with the murmur of an offal kick that anything made from livers should have .

such a great book . as always , sarah ' s writing is a treat and she creates characters that draw you in - and even though they are flawed , sarah gives you a reason to love them . at the heart of the story we have acceptance - coming to terms with who you are - or who you think you are ! highly recommend . my only niggling complaint : spoiler ahead - stop reading now if you haven ' t read the peach keeper : it was just sooooo obvious when willa discovered the newsletters . . . perhaps even before that , but certainly when she read the society newsletters regarding tucker . that her grandmother was missing from society for a time , that she was pregnant , helllo . . . sarah painted willa as a smart character , someone who picks up on things . . . it really frustrated me that willa didn ' t have her " ahha moment " much much sooner . also - i don ' t understand why the grandmothers are no longer " friends " - yes , for a short time , there was a distance , but at the end of the book , it ' s perfectly clear that the women came back together and were tighter than ever . the start of the book leads the reader to believe that something so horrible happened , agatha was still trying to get back in georgie ' s graces . also , the peach tree growing where tucker was buried was very reminiscent of the rose bush in practical magic . but , despite the minor blips , i still thoroughly enjoyed the book .

the new york times bestselling author of the girl who chased the moon welcomes you to her newest locale : walls of water , north carolina , where the secrets are thicker than the fog from the town’s famous waterfalls , and the stuff of superstition is just as real as you want it to be . it’s the dubious distinction of thirty - year - old willa jackson to hail from a fine old southern family of means that met with financial ruin generations ago . the blue ridge madam—built by willa’s great - great - grandfather during walls of water’s heyday , and once the town’s grandest home—has stood for years as a lonely monument to misfortune and scandal . and willa herself has long strived to build a life beyond the brooding jackson family shadow . no easy task in a town shaped by years of tradition and the well - marked boundaries of the haves and have - nots . but willa has lately learned that an old classmate—socialite do - gooder paxton osgood—of the very prominent osgood family , has restored the blue ridge madam to her former glory , with plans to open a top - flight inn . maybe , at last , the troubled past can be laid to rest while something new and wonderful rises from its ashes . but what rises instead is a skeleton , found buried beneath the property’s lone peach tree , and certain to drag up dire consequences along with it . for the bones—those of charismatic traveling salesman tucker devlin , who worked his dark charms on walls of water seventy - five years ago—are not all that lay hidden out of sight and mind . long - kept secrets surrounding the troubling remains have also come to light , seemingly heralded by a spate of sudden strange occurrences throughout the town . now , thrust together in an unlikely friendship , united by a full - blooded mystery , willa and paxton must confront the dangerous passions and tragic betrayals that once bound their families—and uncover truths of the long - dead that have transcended time and defied the grave to touch the hearts and souls of the living . resonant with insight into the deep and lasting power of friendship , love , and tradition , the peach keeper is a portrait of the unshakable bonds that—in good times and bad , from one generation to the next—endure forever .

a hackney jazz bar is teaming up with the east london liquor company to celebrate the bottling of east london’s first whisky in over a century . the kansas smitty’s , house band of the eponymous bar on broadway market will serenade the casks over their two - year maturation at a series of gigs in the distillery , ending with the release of both whisky and recordings of the jazz that followed its journey ( urltoken ) .

the publisher then commands seung ah to get the picture they couldn’t to build up the hype behind the story . seung ah is definitely very conflicted about this . she sits in the story playing with the camera when she notices a regular customer of the shop uses sign language . she chases after the woman , but no luck . seung ah then heads over to the twins’ house . she listens to sang hyeon read anne of green gables for a while before she sits down and talks to him . i think she may have been reading him the story his brother wrote . she then connects the dots . the reason why dong hyeon wanted to write a children’s book so much was because of how much sang hyeon loves to read children’s tales . sang hyeon , deep down , knows this . he then talks about their peach tree and asks seung ah to come view the blossoms with him . seung ah promises to do just that and you know that seung ah really means to keep that promise as she really is a good person and genuinely likes the brothers ( tho it is a bit odd how much she likes them given we don’t have a very long time frame that they’ve known each other but time does mean nothing sometimes when it comes to feeling connections with people ) .

in the end , james and his friends land in the united states , specifically , new york city .
