Art Review: The Fountainhead

The Fountainhead is a novel by Ayn Rand about individual freedom vs. facism. I haven't read all of it yet, but the half I did read is writting amazingly. Plus, Roark is a favorite character of mine. Read it!

Art Review: Doubt

Doubt is a play written by John Patrick Shanley. It's about a nun trying to confront a Catholic priest for being involved with a student. But there's no evidence. The play questions the roles of good and evil, and where doubt can take you.

Art Review: SLC Punk!

SLC Punk is narrated by Stevo, a punker living in Salt City in 1985. His rants on posers, music, anarchy, beer, and drugs set the landscape of his hectic and off-the-wall life. The characters in this movie are superbly uniquely rendered. It has definitly become my new favorite movie
