‘Booksmart’ Movie Review: A Fun Coming-of-Age Comedy
Wilde’s coming-of-age comedy directorial debut is simultaneously hilarious and entertaining, and remarkably heartfelt and relatable.
Swell
The seasoned Captain Mitsos Avgoustis stubbornly refuses to retire. The ocean swell has lodged itself in his mind, and the sea simply will not give him back. For twelve years he has been away from Greece—estranged from his family, at odds with the shipping company, yet bound by unshakable ties to the 22 sailors aboard the cargo ship ATHOS III. Defiant and unwilling to obey, he somehow keeps finding cargo, calling at ports, loading and unloading, silently roaming the waters of the Pacific. Day and night, he battles the relentless gales on the lonely voyages of his mind and heart, where the secret he carries has long since dropped anchor.

Why "The Birdcage" is Still Worth Celebrating 25 Years Later
Perhaps the most amazing and groundbreaking quality about The Birdcage is how removed it is from both illness and insensitivity.

They don’t care how far the community has fallen so much as how high they can rebuild themselves.
