Rowan and Ava surprised me and I instantly was championing for them to get together.

The film's structure soon becomes perfectly obvious - Eloise gets into a madcap adventure, adults chase her around, Nanny admonishes her, etc - and the fast pace is clearly in place to keep younger viewers interested. Reel Film Reviews gave the film two out of four stars, stating: "Eloise at the Plaza is mildly entertaining, if only because it seems to consist of one caper after another.

George Eliot's review of Walden singles out qualities that has attracted readers for generations, namely "a deep poetic sensibility," as well as Thoreau's own "refined hardy mind." In a world obsessed with technology and luxury, Walden seems more relevant today than ever.Īfter being imprisoned for refusing to pay Concord's poll tax, Thoreau recounted his experience in an 1848 lecture "The Rights and Duties of the Individual in Relation to Government." The speech, hardly noticed in Thoreau's lifetime, was later published as "Civil Disobedience." Today it is widely considered one of the most important essays concerning the incumbent duties of American citizens. He described his experiences in Walden, using vivid, forceful prose that transforms his reflections on nature into richly evocative metaphors to live by. ![]() For the next two years he lived there as simply as possible, seeking "the essential facts of life" and learning to eliminate the unnecessary details-material and spiritual-that intrude upon our happiness. Henry David Thoreau built his small cabin on the shore of Walden Pond in 1845. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Harding provides Sidney with a peek into high society by introducing him to a powerful entertainment agent (Gillian Anderson) and the sultry young starlet she represents, Sophie Maes (Megan Fox).

I just loved the two of them in combination. Still, when Sutton enters her life, she questions her ideas about the future. Charlotte is in the middle of her life and knows exactly what she wants. Her character develops the most throughout the story. I didn’t like her that much at first, but eventually, I fell in love with her. Sutton is naïve, sometimes awkward and shy, but incredibly likeable. The focus is on 25-year-old Sutton Spencer, a literature student at NYU, and 28-year-old Charlotte Thompson, deputy mayor of New York, running for the House of Representatives.
