I'll admit that the only comic books I've ever read are a couple of Care Bears issues from the early 1990s. I know that there are a lot of passionate comic book fans out there, but also there's a lot of us who just go to the movies without the... Read more...

The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and me were locked in a hopeless Mexican standoff. She was effectively arguing her side of the issue and I was, well, let's say I was not agreeing. I will not say who won, just that it wasn't me.She then looked at me, put both hands on her hips and said, "Time will tell that I'm right." I cannot wait. The problem is, time is never on my side. I simply do not know what it is about time, but it never does me any favors. Always, and I mean always, time proves ... Read more...

The thing that bothers me the most is that many people have never mastered the fine art of how to dress in public.Some people have never been taught how to dress, let alone how to dress in public. Whenever I go to the mall, and believe me it is as seldom as possible, I cannot help noticing some of these people. What I cannot understand is why young men wear pants too big for them and ...

Perhaps in honor of the 200th anniversary of Grimm's Fairytales, this movie season is offering two very different retellings of the Snow White story. At first, I thought that the different aesthetics and themes presented by Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman (at least based on previews) could make for an interesting contrast, assuming the stories really did do different things with the original tale. After seeing, Mirror Mirror, however, I'm not sure we really needed two Snow Whites t ... Read more...

AT THE MOVIES WITH KASEY BUTCHER: "THE HUNGER GAMES"
Written by Kasey Butcher   
Friday, April 06 2012
More often than not, blockbuster franchises are light on content, heavy on special effects, and more escapist than thought-provoking. Easily my favorite part of The Hunger Games is the way the book and the film take up serious questions about exploitation, spectacle, and economy while still telling an amazingly compelling story. Each year in Panam, a vision of the future in which North America is comprised of twelve districts of abject poverty and a wealthy capital, The Hunger Games are staged ... Read more...
