Pauline Kael
Sometimes I pretend to be a 1940s screenwriter. My imaginary ego goes on a trip to tell people about the magic of cinema and the hard work that produces a movie. How you need a writer’s room, money, star power and a way to hoodwink studio executives, because all they care about is money and I’m trying to make art. In 1940s Hollywood, I’m trying to establish cinema as an American artform, with carefully crafted plots, new characters, and risk-taking directors.

Malcolm, Michael, and Terry
It's been very hard to be a member of what we call Generation X this week. The pain is too big to handle alone. My title might be a little confusing, so I will get that out of the way first: Malcolm-Jamal Warner, John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne, and Terry Gene Bollea ("Hulk Hogan") have all passed away, and my mind is in many different places as I type this out. The summer has been hot, financially unrewarding, full of news of insanity, violence and disappointment. It all seems so familiar. And to read about these losses and to have to go on with my day just seems ridiculous.

Book Review: "On the Calculation of Volume: 1" by Solvej Balle
I have been seeing this book everywhere and charging what Kindle was charging for it, it felt like I would never actually get to read the thing. Of course, until one day where the price came shooting down and 'Best Price in 30 Days' read '£0.99' and I was very quick to buy. With the language being a mix of minimalism and philosophy, the themes being that of entropy and realisation, this book definitely deserves all the hype it has been getting. If I am lucky I might be able to read the second part. I just have to hope that it is still on sale.

Not a Bunch of Film Reviews
When I write a short story, I would like the story to have details that linger with the reader. That’s the goal – to write so that traces of the tale stay alive after the reading. Like a good meal leaves a taste in the mouth. Or how a song echoes through memories.

Book Review: "High Crime Area" by Joyce Carol Oates
Yes, it's another JCO book and yes, it's another short story anthology. Why? Well, I've been to a new library and the only one I haven't read in terms of JCO novels from this place is called High Crime Area. I hope I get some more because I honestly do not have the money to buy all of her books. Perhaps one or two, but she hasn't written one or two has she? She's still writing more as we speak and well - I'm never going to have enough money at this rate. Let's take a look at High Crime Area, a short story anthology by Joyce Carol Oates.
