Each week in The Moviegoer, Nick Olson examines new and upcoming films. Editor’s Note: There are some fairly minor *SPOILERS* here that you won’t be able to sneak around. “Orphans make the best agents,” M (Judi Dench) says in her characteristically matter-of-fact manner. The statement probably suggests something about the shadow that is cast over the latest James Bond film, Skyfall (Dir. Sam Mendes). We first see the famed British secret agent (Daniel Craig) at the end of a hallway, where,... Read more

Richard Clark and I are really different dudes, and after reading his article on possessions, I wish I were a little more like Rich. You should go read “The Problem with Finding Feathers“, even if you do not care about video games, because Rich’s larger point is far more important than his collection of 25 video games.

An act that has thrown the Middle East into a frenzy today, with eight confirmed casualties in Gaza from Hamas and Israeli bombings, Egypt formally withdrawing their ambassador and the United States officially (however unsurprisingly) casting their lot with Israel in what could possibly escalate into all-out war sooner than later.

Grief is a hard thing. Hard to experience. Hard to convey. Hard to empathize with if you’re not already emotionally invested. Hard to talk about in ways that aren’t banal and obvious. Which is why I’m thankful for Korean dramas. My wife and I have been on a bit of a kdrama kick lately. Honestly, it’s the only television I’ll take the time watch these days. I’d been surprised by how involving and multifarious these shows could be. It’s as... Read more
