No modern play has succeeded so indisputably in confronting Reaganism or McCarthyism, religion and immigrants, and even AIDS against the context of New York City in the mid-1980s.

My cousins came to visit from Chicago and they wanted to go to the Queen Mary with my sisters and I. My sisters were...

Texas serves as the perfect setting for both versions (book and movie) of ‘No Country for Old Men’, in a way that it would be difficult to imagine it set anywhere else. This isolated stretch of land between West Texas and the Mexican border should be a quiet, undisturbed place as it is often times equal parts isolated and remote. It’s immediately clear that this is rough country, mostly accessible only by the likes of equally rough and emotionally unavailable...

Steven Spielberg’s movie ‘Ready Player One’ was mediocre at best. There are several reasons why I think this. Firstly, the plot. Main characters are competing with a huge corporation, known as IOI, to solve the secret puzzles to obtain three keys. The first person to obtain all the keys is given total control of the OASIS. The OASIS is a super advanced virtual reality world created by Halliday. Halliday was a genius video game creator and a social outcast for...
