Beyond Rape

This is one of those rare pieces of long form journalism that tells so much through one traumatic event: a woman reporter’s rape. Joanna Conners, a reporter covering the theater, is raped in a deserted theater by a young African-American young man. The rapist died of cancer while locked up for the crime many years [...]

Good Will Hunting

Good Will Hunting had to be the best damn movie I’ve seen in a while. It’s the stuff legends are literally made of. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck wrote the script when they were still nobodies. Studios wanted to buy the script but there was one string attached, they had to star in it. Matt [...]

@garypurvis Thanks! It really is a beautiful place. Be sure to get a JR train pass BEFORE you leave for Japan if you want to explore. # JR pass info, probably the best value-for-money if you want to really see Japan up and down. http://www.jtbusa.com/en/jr/j-all-1.asp # Watched Night at the Museum. A good family film [...]
