HBO’s highly acclaimed series Westworld completes season 2 with tonight’s episode 10, “The Passenger”. The wait has been long for fans of the show, the ending of season 1 leaving most viewers with more questions than answers. The premiere, following in the same first-season footpaths, did similar, leaving the door [what door] wide open for questions.  […]

It’s only taken 25 years for us to get another semi-decent dinosaur film out of the Jurassic Park franchise. Perhaps it’s like a baseball player who after enough at-bats will eventually hit something even if largely by accident.

I personally am still in a state of shock over the sudden loss of personality Anthony Bourdain. He was a mainstay of my lifetime- his books, his shows, his live appearances- and a constant source of inspiration both personally and professionally. Anytime I felt like my writing just wasn’t cutting it- pop on an episode of […]
