Review| Snow White and the Huntsman
I love fairy tales, they are my favorite stories. The darker the better, though I do like light and funny ones on occasion too. Fairy tales are another form of parables, as they are stories with deep meanings put very…
Game of Thrones: The State of Thrones (…Preparing for Season Six)

Review| Batman Begins
Take a moment to think about how long Batman has entertained us. When he first appeared on the scene, our grandparents were kids picking up his comic books at their local shop for a dime. Today, 76 years later we’re…
Reviewing the Classics| The Seventh Seal
Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal is a cliché. From the obvious choice of death as a skull-like specter, playing chess with death as a sort of “gentleman’s agreement” to delay the inevitable, to the dense dialogue and religious imagery, the…
