"You know what makes me so happy? I would watch it on channel 33 at 10:30 every night on Thursday with my mom. I cried when the whole season was over, but what made me so happy is that people my age and everyone else is just as obsessed"

"If every U.S. citizen could have the benefit of knowing Zinn’s collection of historical texts from a wide range of relatively known and unknown people throughout our country’s history, there would be a lot better quality in our current political class and in the style and substance of our governance."

"Godfather II, specifically number two. It was just what a gangster film should be. It was smart, it had great performances, and you travel through a lot of different worlds with these characters. You know, most people try to avoid family drama. [laughs] I just love the filmmaking in Godfather II."

Book Favorite

"The best novel, surely, of a writer we love because he makes us question our favorite beliefs. His Aziz, Fielding, Adela, and the Anglo-Indian lot are the superb metaphors in the moral drama as well as people I seem to remember as if I had known and interacted with them."

Book Favorite

"An 1849 story suite about a village on the coast of Maine. Its setting and characters are so vivid that I think of Dunnet Landing as a place I’ve been, where I’m very fond of the people. And the beauty of it is, I can go back there whenever I want."

Midway (2019)
Midway (2019)
2019 | Action, Drama, History
Very well acted and directed film about the Midway portions of World War II and the effect that those battles had on the people involved at every level.

Visually stunning and emotionally jarring, any war movie fan will enjoy most every element of the movie and be left wanting more.

I've set a few of these up, and I often recommend them to people that want a way to stream things without buying a new television. Roku supports most of the different streaming apps available, like Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and Netflix.
