‘Watchmen’: So, You Used a Nun and a Rosary Because of … What?

Last updated on: April 22, 2023 at 2:29 pm By Kate O'Hare

Only for the sake of truth, dear reader, and for you, would I have slogged through the seventh episode of HBO’s comic-inspired Watchmen, searching for the long-promised answer to why the main crimefighting character is dressed (sorta) like a nun and wears what appears to be an actual rosary on her belt. Warning: Spoilers ahead. Read them and save yourself while there’s still time. As I wrote in an earlier story (after having seen six episodes): What piqued my curiosity is... Read more

Last updated on: January 1, 2020 at 7:19 pm By Kate O'Hare

‘The Crown’: Faith in the Show About ‘God-Anointed’ Queen Elizabeth II

Last updated on: December 4, 2019 at 4:11 pm By Kate O'Hare

Netflix's 'The Crown,' along with being a top-notch soap opera about the current British royal family, is also a time capsule of how things have changed -- for better, or, as often, if not more often, for worse -- since Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne in 1952. That's most evident in her role at head of the Church of England, which, today, is nearly unrecognizable as the institution she took over. Read more

Last updated on: December 10, 2019 at 8:45 am By Kate O'Hare

Producer/director Martin Scorsese's gangster epic-ally long 'The Irishman' on Netflix has been the recipient of many glowing reviews. So, I decided to watch it today.
