The Cold Dead Heart of Modern Art
Art and culture are the heart and soul of a people. Without a sense of art, what I call an aesthetic awareness of beauty and ugliness, people are missing something in their maturity at least as important as their moral compass.

Cloud Atlas – Not So Subtle Anti-White Racism?
SPOILER ALERT! I was initially excited about seeing Cloud Atlas, a three hour long movie set across six time periods with interweaving plots created by the same people who made the Matrix. Sadly, after 30 minutes into the movie I realised I was watching a left-wing propaganda movie with following themes: Only white people can be racist. All white people …
Social Media Suicide: A Dissection of the Applebee’s “Strategy”

When you get halfway through it, you’ll realise why posting it anonymously was probably a good choice. Moreover, it provides some insights into that old claim that being rich may lead to misery.

When BluRays first came out, the very first movie I saw in this format was “2012″, that disaster flick from Roland Emmerich.
