features, tv

Special instructions before reading this article: Be sure to be playing Ruth Barrett’s “Sidney and Charlotte Dance” while you read as it’s what I’m doing while writing. When I wrote the review for the sixth episode, I had said that it was taking everything in me not  to dedicate an entire article to the dance alone and here I am, unable to resist the temptation to write further.

In Memoriam of Anthony Edward “Tony” Stark and the Legacy of Iron Man, the World’s Best Defender

features, movies

“The earth lost its best defender.” To requote Captain America — the world lost its best defender. And while death is difficult to discuss, it’s cathartic when mourning a tremendous loss. Tony Stark’s sacrificial death was one felt everywhere — a fictional loss that’ll be with us for years to come because so few before him have had such a poignant, profoundly colossal impact. He was the one in 14,000,605. It had to be him and his death served a purpose. And where great storytelling is concerned, being able to put the greater good of the world before his own

Jane Austen House Museum: Travel Guide

features

“There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.” — Jane Austen | Emma Chawton, Alton, U.K. a quaint little house that inspired noted 18th century English novelist Jane Austen.

And today, religion has become a word many have feared, shunned, and

Gun Control | The Christian Perspective

features

Silence often makes things worse, and today, we can no longer afford it. For so long this website has been focused solely on entertainment, and we’ve made a conscious effort to keep religion and politics at a minimal discussion in order not to stir up any controversy. And I’ll be honest in admitting of the fact that I was personally hesitant to write this because I’d be bombarded with hateful comments. But my minuscule fear of backlash is absolutely nothing in comparison to the fear kids and parents must be facing today — or anyone who’s the victim of gunpoint
