I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Matt Haig two years ago at an event for his book, A Boy Called Christmas which I loved. It was at this event where I first heard about How to Stop Time which he was still working on at the time. The whole concept of a person not aging on the outside and slowly aging on the inside had me intrigued. However, I had completely forgotten about the book until earlier this year when I saw it on the Savvy Reader's “Most Anticipated Reads of (Early) 2018” blog post. The…

In 1973, Roe v Wade was sanctioned by the United States Supreme court to allow all women to access safe and legal abortions. Getting to that stage was not easy, however. The case took years until the legal system would even consider making the operation legal. (Procon.org) In the 1960’s, many groups were concerned regarding the termination of a pregnancy. Physicians worried about the fatality rates that illegal abortions caused, the women’s movement sparked concerns, environmental groups wanted…

One theme in Ted Chaing’s “Exhalation” is acting for the greater good, in this case, to add to the pool of scientific knowledge. The narrator, a mechanical being in a world populated with other mechanical beings who believe they will live forever, is an anatomist. He has suspected for some time that the prevailing hypothesis of how memory is stored is incorrect. He comes up with an idea for an experiment to find out. The experiment poses great risk to his body, so he deliberates over whether he…

learned that the outcome of the review is dependent on the audience the reviewer is trying to appeal to. Cinderella as directed by Kenneth Branagh which starred Lily James as Cinderella, Cate Blanchett as her wicked stepmother, and Helena Bonham Carter as her fairy godmother stuck to the original theme from 1950 in which Cinderella won over Prince Charming, but it also presented a somewhat magical approach in empowering young girls. Ella’s dying mother encouraged her to have courage and be kind…

I also want to dance to “Jackson” by Johnny cash and June Carter Cash, with my husband too. I am a huge fan of country music, especially Johnny Cash and I think if we did not dance to at least one classic country song in a barn at our wedding reception it would be some sort of blasphemy. As far as the father daughter…

The Art of Tim Burton Creepy, eerie, dark, and weird are all words that describe Tim Burton. Tim is known for hits like “The Nightmare Before Christmas”, “Edward Scissorhands”, and my personal favorite “The Corpse Bride” all very successful movies that are favorites to many people. In my opinion, Tim burton is an amazing and talented artist who puts amazing and insightful twists on stories that the average Joe wouldn't see or understand until looking into one of his films. His inspirational and…

authority does not allow her to. Carter supports this when she portrays Ophelia in the way she sexually assaults the male guard, and by fondling with the sash of the embarrassed guard. This supports the juxtaposition Carter represents because while she wears a shapeless smock that makes her look like a little girl, she contrasts that with her mature advances on the male guard. Carter is innocent, naïve, and obedient but in her acting, her madness seems real and tangible. Carter as Ophelia…

A year later Cash & Carter became new weds. June was the high light of Cash’s life. Not only did she sing with him on the stage but she helped him get off drugs and stop drinking as well as Cash becoming a devout Christian fundamentalist. In 1969, Cash began hosting The Johnny…

Dead Sexist Fish Crap: A Film Review of Tim Burton’s Big Fish Big Fish shows Will (Billy Crudup) trying to discern whether his father’s fantastic stories are true, or if he was having an affair on his mother. Throughout Will’s life, his father, Edward Bloom (Ewan McGregor and Albert Finney) has told him absurd stories from his life. While Will was enchanted with these stories as a small child, he now holds an extreme amount of resentment towards his father and suspects him of having an affair…
