Commentary and Movie Reviews

While Ibo is gay and Ali is straight, the two  forge a friendship which includes a lot of physical contact, the  muscular and shirtless Ali repeatedly wrestling skinny Ibo to the  ground.

I cannot even begin to understand how this happened. I cannot wrap my  mind around it or rationalize in any way how more than half the voters  in the United States thought that electing a known criminal and a proven  liar was the best course.

Movie Review: A Sexplanation - In this witty and engaging documentary, Alex Liu concludes that the only way to break the cycle of shame is through comprehensive sexuality education.

Movie Review: At the End of the Day - With his shiny, new Masters of Psychology, Dave’s been hired to teach at Lakeside Christian College. He has all the answers.

Instagram  is a time sucking parasite whose only purpose is to strip-mine personal  data for corporate profit and manipulate the public’s social media  habits.

The first thing I tried was to trip it up with  questions a machine simply could never answer. With righteous  confidence, I typed, “What is the meaning of life?”

Movie review: All of Us Strangers - In the end, who’s to say what’s real? Adam lives in his world as surely as if we saw him walking on the street.
