'Laugh-out-loud funny, intensely suspenseful, page-turning fun'
Allison Brennan on A Bad Day for Sunshine Running a small-town
police force in the mountains of New Mexico should be a smooth,
carefree kind of job. Sadly, full-time Sheriff - and even
fuller-time coffee guzzler - Sunshine Vicram, didn't get that memo.
All Sunshine really wants is one easy-going day. You know, the kind
that starts with coffee and a donut (or three) and ends with
take-out pizza and a glass of chardonnay (or seven). Turns out,
that's about as easy as switching to decaf. (What kind of people do
that? And who hurt them?) Before she can say iced mocha latte,
Sunny's got a bar fight gone bad, a teenage daughter hunting a
serial killer and, oh yes, the still unresolved mystery of her own
abduction years prior. All evidence points to a local distiller, a
dangerous bad boy named Levi Ravinder, but Sun knows he's not the
villain of her story. Still, perhaps beneath it all, he possesses
the keys to her disappearance. At the very least, beneath it all,
he possesses a serious set of abs. She's seen it. Once.
Accidentally. Between policing a town her hunky chief deputy calls
four cents short of a nickel, that pesky crush she has on Levi
which seems to grow exponentially every day, and an irascible
raccoon that just doesn't know when to quit, Sunny's life is about
to rocket to a whole new level of crazy. Yep, definitely a good day
for chardonnay. 'A Bad Day For Sunshine is a great day for the rest
of us' Lee Child

Ethan Muller is struggling to establish his reputation as a dealer
in the cut-throat world of contemporary art when he is alerted to a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: in a decaying New York slum, an
elderly tenant has disappeared, leaving behind a staggeringly large
trove of original drawings and paintings. Nobody can tell Ethan
much about the old man, except that he came and went in solitude
for nearly forty years, his genius hidden and unacknowledged.
Despite the fact that, strictly speaking, the artwork doesn't
belong to him, Ethan takes the challenge and makes a name for the
old man - and himself. Soon Ethan has to congratulate himself on
his own genius: for storytelling and salesmanship. But suddenly the
police are interested in talking to him. It seems that the missing
artist had a nasty past, and the drawings hanging in the Muller
Gallery have begun to look a lot less like art and a lot more like
evidence. Sucked into an investigation four decades cold, Ethan
will uncover a secret legacy of shame and death, one that will
touch horrifyingly close to home - and leave him fearing for his
own life.
German computer-animated movie featuring the voice of Patrick
Stewart. When Gaya's power stone is stolen by Professor N. Icely
(Stephan Lander), local hero Zino (Glenn Wrage), his companion Boo
(Alan Mariot), the mayor's daughter Alanta (Emily Watson) and the
local trouble makers The Snurks are pulled into the vortex as well.
When they wake up, they find themselves in a world filled with
giants, monster rats and buildings that reach into the sky.
