Orson Welles is well-known for many things, among them being the "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast and the movie "Citizen Kane." The movie is praised by many, and the AFI lists "Citizen Kane" as the top film of all time on their 100 list. I wonder if these people saw the same …
In the spirit of promoting nonacademic summer reading material, I thought I'd start a series of blog posts: What to Read Next? I call this first list Based on the Book. It features movies that are, you guessed it, based on a book or short story. As an added bonus (I think) all of the …

The train deposits us in the middle of the track – no station stop, rails glisten in the mid-morning sun of early October. We alight, gingerly stepping through the long ladder of metal, breathing in the coolness of soil, happy to flee the city noise and soot. We trek to the rocks and begin our …
There is a rule in my house - you cannot watch a movie that is based on a novel or short-story without having read the text first. Initially it was so that my kids would read, and would put reading first- so that it inculcated them with the idea that text allows for it's own …
