Last updated on: June 18, 2014 at 10:42 pm By Jeremy Purves

Think for a moment. How interesting is it that the Iliad is one of the most famous and inspiring stories in the history of the world? (As legend has it, Alexander the Great always kept copy of the Iliad under his pillow.) I bet this seems strange to many of us now, living with our modern ideas of morality, with our culture’s sensitivity to individual “natural rights,” with our entertainment’s cardboard cutout characters who are designed to be identified with, sympathized with, copied, emulated, worshipped, cheered for, etc. It is quite true that the Iliad does not possess our modern sensibilities, whether in politics or in entertainment.

Manuscripts Don’t Burn (Rasoulof, 2013)

Last updated on: June 30, 2014 at 8:27 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

The setting of Manuscripts Don't Burn may be painstakingly specific, but its themes are broad, perhaps even universal. How much are we willing to risk, to sacrifice, for freedom of speech? Why does one act of violence seemingly begin a never ending chain? Read more

For now, I'll will just say that my defense of 22 Jump Street is nearly identical to my defense of Moms' Night Out. You can make a list as long as my arm of things wrong with the movie, and I won't disagree. But I laughed. Read more
