For example, “Sydney Carton, idlest and most unpromising of men, was Stryver’s great ally. What the two drank together, between Hilary Term and Michaelmas, might have floated a king’s ship. Stryver…

is a movie I would watch with my father and brother, next to our wood burning stove in rural Southwest Missouri. I am positive we watched this movie so many times on VHS, they had to create DVD’s so we could buy a new copy. The movie, directed by Sydney Pollack, was released in 1972 and starred Robert Redford as the title character, Jeremiah Johnson. Awards for the movie after production and release were sadly few and far between. Regardless the opening lines, which are narrated, give the…

Every Saturday morning I get a jolt of excitement in anticipation of the forty-five minutes of wonder I know are soon to delight my senses, forty-five minutes of adventure, fear, and the devilish world of Steven Moffat. Doctor Who is my all time favorite TV show, a show that follows the exploits of the time travelling Doctor and his intrepid companions across the universe.

November 7th, 1940, the Tacoma Bridge collapsed into the Tacoma Narrows straight in Washington State. The bridge connected the town of Tacoma and the Kitsap Peninsula, and was one of the first major suspension bridges in the western United States. Unlike other suspension bridges constructed around this time, the Tacoma Bridge failed to withstand wind speeds over 40 miles per hour, due to unequal stress on parts of the bridge. The construction of a suspension bridge must include geometric shapes…

A Tale Of Two Cities A Tale Of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, revolves around the idea of redemption in the midst of the chaos of the larger scope of injustice surrounding the main characters. While the movie does a decent portrayal of the nuanced themes in the original story, many fall flat or are not noticed at all, though the movie as a whole was a well told rendition. The book opens with focus on the phrase, “Recalled to life” which in it repetition drives home the importance of some kind…

All the places that only seemed to exist through my…
