'Finding Dory' and my secret shame
I have a confession to make: There’s a piece of myself, my history, that I’ve been hiding for years. Ever fearful that I will be “caught,” “found out,” and subsequently rejected.

'Independence Day: Resurgence' Review
Director Roland Emmerich's return to the world he created with 1996's Independence Day was never going to make for a brilliant, life-altering film. Nor is that what Independence Day: Resurgence is meant to be. No, this is a quintessential get-out-of-the-heat, mindless summer popcorn-chomper. As such, the film's greatest sin isn't that it's stupid — it's that it's entirely inert and uninspired.… → Read More
