  • Let’s hear some women talk

    Let me take a moment to explain in my own words something that is very important to me. I just saw the new X-Men (Days of Future Past). Out of all the comicbook-to-film series, I think I’ve enjoyed the X-Men the most. These mutant stories weave political, scientific, and psychological themes with eye-popping muscles and…

  • A review of Lulu’s book-publishing service

  • Best Movies of the Decade: 2010s, Part 1

    I’ve pored over my movie spreadsheet to curate a list of films that you should see. I arbitrarily ended up with 40, so I’ll present 20 of them here; my absolute favorites will be revealed soon, in Part 2.
