By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
March 1, 2021
Black Holes: The Edge of All We Know (Peter Galison, 2020) 3 out of 4 stars. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, something massive collapsed in on itself, dragging other particles with it, creating a large entity which we call a “black hole.” These rather frightening zones where matter goes to die (as far as we know, or not, as we know very little) have been the source of much ongoing speculation within the scientific community ... >>

Interview with “Savage State” Director David Perrault
By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
February 18, 2021
A few weeks ago, as the film Savage State (which I reviewed) came out, I had the opportunity to send its director, David Perrault, some written questions, to which he soon thereafter responded. His movie is a metaphysical western that follows a French family trying to extricate itself from the 1860s American Civil War. As they flee one conflict, they soon find themselves immersed in another. What starts out as one kind of story slowly morphs ... >>

Daughter Hyunny, though gainfully employed as a nurse, finds that her long-term relationship with the man she thought would be her life partner may not survive both his own feelings of ... >>
