Martin made her feel somehow confident and gave her everything. When it was revealed he betrayed her trust, she found herself alone again, all that confidence and 'happiness' gone in a blink of an eye. Dependant people usually have low self-esteem, and it was right at this point in Emily's life when she met Victoria. As a psychiatrist she soon realised she could manipulate her, promising a 'bright' future, love and money. In conclusion, I believe Emily should have had her redemption by making Dr. Siebert confess everything. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476675923402016635.post-73751304602286275242016-04-18T09:08:28.329+01:002016-04-18T09:08:28.329+01:00I like how you think Emily and Dr. S's actions...I like how you think Emily and Dr. S's actions were justified yet crucify Dr. Banks's actions.

So, it is a nice change to see that their evil plan drove them to their dark future, instead of the bright one they were planning. <br />Regarding Jude, I dont see how anyone will not understand why he cannot be so cruel towards a woman who destroyed his life completely (no job, no family, no reputation) and didnt even cared about what his life is going to be like, and he is a complete stranger and did nothing to her. So in order to get his life back he had to do whatever it takes. I also think he looked at her as a manipulative murderer who deserved jail, and since he was not able to do it, he sent her back to the mental hospital. <br />This was a great movie and it built up gradually and you couldnt tell what will happen next.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476675923402016635.post-42713866374328383042016-02-10T18:28:56.581+00:002016-02-10T18:28:56.581+00:00I have seen many comments about Eloïse and I think...I have seen many comments about Eloïse and I think this is the most correct, thanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11265776554222734354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476675923402016635.post-40687290438368802042015-12-02T08:39:33.776+00:002015-12-02T08:39:33.776+00:00awesome movie ;)awesome movie ;)droneziehttp://dronezie.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476675923402016635.post-9902316522546501192015-07-27T10:52:51.599+01:002015-07-27T10:52:51.599+01:00The best Marvel film to date explores government o...The best Marvel film to date explores government overreach, the real and perceived threats to national security and how true American values will always win out over false ones.fitbit charge reviewhttp://www.chipchick.com/2014-12-fitbit-charge-review.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476675923402016635.post-7469496018636793702015-03-06T05:52:04.553+00:002015-03-06T05:52:04.553+00:00Thanks Thanks Kawsarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476675923402016635.post-14043094263021387922014-12-23T12:33:15.086+00:002014-12-23T12:33:15.086+00:00Love these year end lists.

Dr. Seibert was fully complicit in the entire scheme. the two of them also severly and unfairly damaged a drug company in order to get rich, perhaps putting js and lives in jeapordy. They thought nothing of the massive damage they caused. Jude Law's character made the mistake of being sympathatic to Emily, and fought to help her. He was played for a patsy and his life was left in ruins by two shockingly cold blooded ladies. he was not at all evil, he worked hard to make a good life for himself and his family and he made it clear he was being paid to recommend ablixa. The drug in reality had nothing to do with what happend. He was in no way responsible for martins death or Emily's situation. When he realized what was really happening of course he wanted revenge, who wouldn't! To me the biggest complaint is that he got back with his wife at the end of the movie. She dropped him like a hot potato over something that should have raised serious questions. who sent this envelope full of pictures and why? Why isn't law's character actually in the pictures where Emily is disrobed, and why after that would he even want to get back together with her?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476675923402016635.post-5514062548898303372014-11-19T08:27:36.489+00:002014-11-19T08:27:36.489+00:00Extraordinary film.

I mainly wanted to make a point about how it has become too acceptable of late for writers not to be paid but I also realise that the situation is a bit more complex and less manichean than that, it's not just unscrupulous film site owners versus helpless film reviewers. <br /><br />I can totally appreciate how the campaign might come across, I was a little puzzled at first. And as you say, I did point out that not everybody can/should live off their chosen career, such is life.<br /><br />I'm also taking your points on board, especially what you are saying about the efforts, the honesty and the concessions required to actually make it work.

But, by being good enough, being willing to improve your craft, developing contacts, meeting editors face to face, generally being professional (consistently hitting deadlines with work of a reasonable standard etc), it's possible to get work.<br /><br />Really though, I think you answered your own question midway through: "Nobody is owed a living in their chosen career path, especially the most desirable ones". For me it's very simple: If you can't make film criticism work for yourself, you absolutely must a) pack it in, or b) Find a way to make it work. What you can't do is panhandle.<br /><br />I believe that arts criticism is vital to the culture; to stimulate debate, to engage, to act as a mirror to challenging aspects of society. But it is arts criticism: not brain surgery, cancer research, building transport infrastructure. Asking people for money to help them decide what they want to watch before they drift off to sleep? Come on.<br /><br />As for the rewards offered, well, "I'll follow you for a year on Twitter"? This is the bit where I wonder if I'm the victim of some long-con, I'm Still Here style-hoax. Perhaps all of the responses to this Kickstarter campaign are being monitored by the critic in question, and will be collated into a sign-of-the-times book. Here's hoping.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476675923402016635.post-59755159493919734152014-07-13T18:21:22.504+01:002014-07-13T18:21:22.504+01:00Great post.

One minute you have to pay for certain episodes in a series and the next you don’t.
