Walter focuses on the members of society that many consider “problematic” or “distasteful”,…

The movie, War of the World's directed by Steven Spielberg, naturally differs from the book. The film starts off with a man in modern day New York, divorced with two kids…

Crawfish must first be caught alive, crawling in the gloopy southern muck, and then trapped in a small cage. After that they must be boiled in a concoction filled with a dollop of Cajun seasoning, corn and potatoes. After a long…
