The Sisterhood Author: Helen Bryan An emotional tight wire act both taut and tense, The Sisterhood offers powerful characterization, and sings its treble notes strongly and proudly into the readers’ ears. As Helen Bryan pivots from 16th century Spain to the present, her tale of the Los Golondrinas Convent presents astute nuns who do not ascribe to the patriarchal partisanship of their Church but define their own religion with humanity. This is not so much a story - it is an event of a ... continue reading...

DVD Reviews: Struck by Lightening
Struck By Lightning I’m not a big fan of Chris Colfer, I kind of dug his role in the first season of Glee but the next few seasons felt like retreads. I love coming of age films set in High School so I was eager to give him a second chance. Was that dumb of me? Yes.

Synopsis time A high school boy desperate ... continue reading...
DVD Reviews: Movie 43

The variety of ways that you can have your photo printed on canvas is what made CreateMyWalls an incredible experience. I tried PopArt, Sepia, ... continue reading...
DVD Reviews: 21 and Over
21 & Over Drunk and crude. That’s what my generation seems to be about. With films like The Hangover, American Pie and Jackass these two words define summer movie season now (other than the even worse word SUPERHERO). Honestly I don’t think films like this are funny. They can be funny (The Hangover wasn’t that bad but it was still the most homophobic film id seen in years) however they lack the sincerity of other comedies (Mr. Apatow you nail sincerity). I was kinda excited to see ... continue reading...
