A Feminist’s Defense of “The Little Mermaid,” Take 2
If you’ve been following my blog for awhile, you know how I feel about The Little Mermaid. (This is the original post I wrote about the movie in case you missed it the first time.) I think the movie is … Continue reading
Community 3×4 – “Remedial Chaos Theory”
This recent episode of Community was not only the best of the season so far, but one of the best ever. I’ve already seen it several times. And because I’m me and can’t just watch a comedy show and laugh … Continue reading
‘What’s Your Number?’ and the Question of Boundaries

A Dance with Dragons and the Five-and-a-Half-Year Itch
I’m back after a two-week break, and it seems appropriate that the first post after my self-imposed sabbatical should focus on George R.R. Martin’s A Dance With Dragons. I have waited for this book for five and a half years. … Continue reading
“Bad Teacher”: A Cathartic Experience
I bit the bullet and saw Bad Teacher on opening night. Even though the trailer made me cringe, I knew from the moment I saw it that I would have to see it in the theater, and it would have … Continue reading
NYC Theatre Review: “Adam of the Apes: A Farcical Fusion of Evolution and Creationism!”
During the summer, I volunteer at a summer camp for children with disabilities. I serve as part of the Activities staff, a group that arranges activities and performances for the campers. We meet several times a year to discuss themes … Continue reading
