The Devastating Hand of Grace, by Reed Lackey

18 Nov

Every good drama needs at least one moment provocative enough to leave you dwelling on it long after you’ve left the theater or turned off your TV. These moments could be inspiring, or thought-provoking, or shocking, or heartbreaking, or all of the above simultaneously. I would like to tell you about Flight, the movie directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Denzel Washington. Most specifically, I’d like to tell you about its “one moment.”

Dead Men Walking, by Travis Fishburn

12 Nov

Recently, I’ve found myself truly engaged by The Walking Dead. Just under a month ago, I wouldn’t have believed that to be possible. Halfway through the second season, watching the series on a weekly basis had nearly turned into a chore. The show, like the characters within it, seemed to know that it had to eventually move in a certain direction, but was unwilling to pick up and move. I didn’t want to dislike the show. It had a simple and intriguing premise, which offered it the opportunity to explore some interesting aspects of human survival and perseverance. Within the first few episodes of this season, I felt like the show was finally hitting the right pace for my preference, and was finally beginning to explore human nature faced with a world that’s free of civilization and the laws that accompany it.
