I’ve been thinking a lot about context lately. More specifically, the meaning that things have within a certain context. For example, a knife in itself isn’t a bad thing. But, say, in the hands of a baby or a killer, well… Enough said. I wish the question of context was as easy when it came… Read More The Contextual Meaning of a Movie: It Isn’t The Same To All
The M0vie Blog has probably a lot on their plate and just like other bloggers **coughsmecoughs*, hasn’t yet had the time to review the new season of The X-Files. But thankfully there is still a review for, oh, every single other episode of the show AND both movies, so I think I’ll be OK for… Read More The M0vie Blog’s Review of “The X-Files: I Want to Believe”
Fifty-one years ago, Berry Gordy founded Motown, and music has never quite been the same – in an excellent kind of way, of course. From Marvin Gaye to Stevie Wonder and The Jackson Five, to Smokey Robinson and The Temptations, Motown has brought us some memorable artists.

If you are a long-time Sahar’s Blog reader, you are probably not surprised since there was a lot of debate going around the central concepts… Read More Sahar’s Blog Presents: Maeve’s Monthly Movie Review
Home Alone is just one of those movies that most, if not all North Americans at least know of. I myself have watched it numerous times with my family–it has become, for a while, a tradition of sorts to watch it at some point during wintertime. I never thought about it as a particularly profound… Read More Sahar’s Blog Presents: Maeve’s Monthly Movie Review
When I saw that Maeve had a movie review of Girl, Interrupted on her blog, I couldn’t resist picking it as a feature of this year’s first edition of Maeve’s Monthly Movie Review.

Alarms sound almost daily now about what we are doing to the planet. We are told that we are destroying the fabric our societies are built in, that our economic system will collapse, that our environment will not be able to survive the abuse we are heaping on it.
