Nolan’s Odyssey: My Two Drachma
As a storyteller of Greek descent — specifically Spartan descent — who’s studied Ancient Greek history at the graduate level, I feel uniquely qualified to add my two drachmas to the discussion surrounding Christopher Nolan’s upcoming The Odyssey film. The controversy surrounding this film has liberals and conservatives tied up in knots, and given our... Continue Reading →

| Skeleton Crew includes a lot of great shorts, a few mids (like the kids like to say these days), and a few duds. But the greats more than make up for the duds. Among my favorites are The Mist, an end-of-the-world scenario featuring a plethora of Love ...more | |
