Victoria & Abdul Release Date: September 22, 2017 Studio: FOCUS FEATURES presents a WORKING TITLE production Starring: Judi Dench, Ali Fazal, Adeel Akhtar, Simon Callow, Michael Gambon, Eddie Izzard, Ruth McCabe, Tim Pigott-Smith, Julian Wadham, Olivia Williams, Fenella Woolgar Directed By: Stephen Frears (“The Queen,” “Philomena,” “Mrs. Henderson Presents”) Written By: Lee Hall (“Billy Elliot”), based on Victoria & Abdul: The True Story of the Queen’s Closest Confidant by Shrabani Basu
Academy Award winner Judi Dench (Shakespeare in Love) reunites with Academy Award-nominated director Stephen Frears (The Queen), and returns to the role of Queen Victoria, in Victoria & Abdul.
The screenplay of Victoria & Abdul is by Academy Award nominee Lee Hall (Billy Elliot), based on journalist Shrabani Basu’s book Victoria & Abdul: The True Story of the Queen’s Closest Confidant, which brought to light the long-hidden history of Victoria and Abdul from their own diaries and journals.
Victoria & Abdul tells the extraordinary true story of the amazing and unlikely friendship between Queen Victoria (Judi Dench) and a young clerk, Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal), who becomes her teacher, her spiritual advisor, and her devoted friend.
In 1887, Abdul travels from India to present a ceremonial medal as part of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee but surprisingly finds favor with the elderly Queen. The unprecedented and unlikely relationship causes a battle royale within the royal household, pitting the Queen against court and family. Victoria & Abdul humorously explores questions of race, religion, power, and the farce of Empire through the prism of a highly unusual and deeply moving friendship.
VICTORIA AND ABDUL is in theaters this Friday, and you could win a free admit-two pass to see the film at a local Salt Lake theater along with a prize pack from the film that includes a 10-pack of English Breakfast tea bags, mango flavored lip balm, a note book, and a full-size picnic blanket!

SHOW ME THE WAY Fight For Me #1
Author: A.L. Jackson
Reading Level: New Adult
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Released: October 2, 2017
Review Source: A.L. Jackson Books Inc.
The first sexy, captivating, stand-alone novel in the brand-new FIGHT FOR ME series from NYT & USA Today Bestselling Author A.L. Jackson . . .
Rex Gunner. As bitter as he is beautiful.
The owner of the largest construction company in Gingham Lakes has been burned one too many times. His wife leaving him to raise their daughter was the last blow this single dad could take. The only woman he’ll let into his heart is his little girl.
Rynna Dayne. As vulnerable as she is tempting.
She ran from Gingham Lakes when she was seventeen. She swore to herself she would never return. Then her grandmother passed away and left her the deed to the diner that she once loved.
When Rex meets his new neighbor, he knows he’s in trouble.
She’s gorgeous and sweet and everything he can’t trust.
Until she becomes the one thing he can’t resist.
One kiss sends them tumbling toward ecstasy.
But in a town this size, pasts are bound to collide. Caught in a web of lies, betrayal, and disloyalty, Rex must make a choice.
Will he hide behind his walls or will he take the chance . . .
A.L. Jackson has delivered again. I can't even properly describe how much I loved this new book. It has gone down as my top favorite book so far for 2017. I could not put it down even for a second. Her words spoke to me on a whole different level even from anything she has written before. I have to say that is an accomplishment because I have been obsessed with every single thing she has written so far.
Show Me the Way is the story how crazy fate and circumstances can be and what beautiful things can be created. Rex is a single dad that is emotionally closed off due to past experiences. His main concern is being the best dad he can be. Rynna, having just dealt with the loss of her grandmother, moves back to her hometown and ends up living next door to Rex. These two are definitely in my favorite hero and heroine list. Rex is the moody, brooding type and Rynna feels a connection with Rex pretty much right away. This story was such a beautiful emotional journey for me.
"All moments matter. We just rarely know how important they are until the chance to act on them has already passed. Was this one of those moments that mattered? And why did I feel like I had to take this chance?"
I'm rating this book 5 stars because it was phenomenal and beautiful. I loved it so much. I highly recommend all of A.L. Jackson's book every time I write a review because she never, ever disappoints. Her writing is truly one of a kind and grips your from start to finish.

The Wizard of Lies
Blu-Ray/DVD Release: October 3, 2017
Director: Barry Levinson
Screenplay by: Sam Levinson, John Burnham and Samuel Baum
Novel by: Diana B. Henriques
Cast: Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer
The Wizard of Lies is a drama that right off the bat throws you into the world of Bernie Madoff’s (Robert De Niro) when he stole over $65 billion dollars in 2008, in one of the most famous Ponzi schemes ever. You follow along watching current events such as him in prison getting interviewed to then going back to the events from 2008 as it happened. You see his family and friends deal with this event, who was involved and who had no clue. To the people that lost every cent they had, to the one ones that profited from those cents.
Robert De Niro delivers a performance that makes you truly believe he is Madoff. And let’s not leave Michelle Pfeiffer out, she also does one heck of a job on this film. I personally don’t really like dramas like The Wizard of Lies, which involve things such as Wall Street and finances of this matter, but the way De Niro and Pfeiffer deliver, you are entertained and keep watching. There are others in this movie that also receive praise from me for their fantastic job with their characters.
I was not at all familiar with this event until I saw this film, so The Wizard of Lies helped get this on the radar for people like myself that normally don’t follow such events/stories. It’s like getting a US history lesson via a Hollywood movie (or a novel).
To celebrate the release of The Wizard of Lies on Blu-ray, DVD, Digital and On Demand, here at OUaT we are hosting a giveaway. One lucky follower will win a Blu-ray copy of The Wizard of Lies and a movie-tie in paperback copy of The Wizard of Lies. Just enter below!
