As a child, I was always fascinated by English history. My own daughter, Elizabeth, was born on the anniversary of Anne Boleyn’s beheading. In media, we see so many portrayals of the Tudor reign and few focus on the loss of the children, the pregnancies of the women, instead they largely focus on the destruction […]

Abduction of a Sabine Woman
I will not pretend the source material isn’t rather historically distasteful (Taking of the Sabine Women) but the form of the humans depicted here is astounding.

Inane teen comedy with requisite sexual context and little actual plot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bfS6seiLhk The idea of there even being a Kissing Booth these days…yeah, like that still happens. (Does it still happen, if so, I’m a bit worried…) So, beyond all that…the movie opens with two friends who were born on the same day and their mothers […]
