As a zealous Christian young man, most of the books I had been reading were concerned with one thing: devotion, which I would basically define as loving God, avoiding sin, and proselytizing per The Great Commission. “Culture,” on the other hand, was, I believed, a distraction at best, certainly superfluous.

Think of the last time you were out and you saw a clean, kempt, and attractive straight white couple under thirty years old with children–the parents have no tattoos, are polite, eschew cursing or acting obscene in public, are of healthy weight, and dressed appropriately? (more…)

This is the first in a series of film reviews wherein I’ll be looking at works of cinema that were made when subversion—whether of expectations, morals, facts, or source material—was not the filmmakers’ objective. The objective was simply to tell a story on celluloid. These will not be “classic” films, however. No one needs to read another review of Gone With The Wind or other famous, monumental movies from the past. In fact, many of the films in this series might even be light-hearted, middle-brow, pop culture entertainment. (more…)

Most everybody seemed to get along in the decade prior to the turn of this century. At least it was that way in my world. Blacks had equal rights: some were superstars in sports, some had recording contracts, and some starred in movies. All was good and things were equal — or so I had thought. (more…)

Waco: The Aftermath, which follows 2018’s miniseries Waco and was made by the same production team, is a historical-fiction miniseries that examines the cultural impact of the FBI’s calamitous 51-day siege of the Branch Davidian “compound” in Waco, Texas which ended with a raid on April 19, 1993 in which 76 civilians were killed.

The first centers on the criminal trial involving Branch Davidian Clive Doyle (John Hoogenakker) and his lawyer Dan Cogdell (Giovanni Ribisi), as well as co-defendants Ruth Riddle (Kali Rocha), Livingstone Fagan (Michael Luwoye), and Paul Fatta (Nicholas Kolev).

Lots of books about English skinheads and the band Skrewdriver have been published in English. Personally, I consider the best book on this topic to be Nazi Rock Star by Paul London, aka Paul Burnley, ex-singer of the band No Remorse. This book offers the most comprehensive look at Skrewdriver and goes into Ian Stuart’s childhood, explaining his ideology and motivations. (more…)

If you’re looking for a film to get you good and spooked for Halloween, you can’t go wrong with Event Horizon, the 1996 sci-fi horror directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. The spooky atmosphere, the gore, the violence, the senselessness of the horror, the simultaneous claustrophobia and agoraphobia of a vast, cavernous spaceship in Neptune’s upper atmosphere all add up to provide a unique experience. But more important to us is the existential meaning of such horrors as the movie has to offer. (more…)
