Alien litigates the pandemic

A science experiment goes dangerously wrong. Quarantining the infected proves impractical or insufficient. Welcome to Alien: Coronavirus (sorry, Romulus), the franchise’s best and most evocative effort since Sigourney Weaver donned a mechanical exosuit in the classic 1986 sequel.  Of course, the Alien movies have dredged ideological waters in the past, most famously in David Fincher’s […]

At the Capitol recently, news broke that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump had committed yet another blunder.

Jeff Buckley’s Grace at 30: A terrific album that is also the most overrated in history

When the musician Jeff Buckley died at the age of 30 on May 29, 1997 — just three years after 27, the cursed age that most prematurely deceased rock stars check out at — he left behind one album, in the form of Grace, that was to become one of the most admired, even beloved, […]

CHICAGO — Vice President Kamala Harris’s ascension to the top of the Democratic ticket appears to be energizing some of the youngest voters in the party: Generation Z.

Trump and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp appear to put rift aside and focus on winning the election

Former President Donald Trump and Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) appear to have put their political differences aside to work together on winning the 2024 presidential election. The two infamously feuded in the aftermath of the 2020 election, particularly after then-candidate Joe Biden won Kemp’s state of Georgia. The rift continued as both commented against the […]
