How to Survive the Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Seeing the Harry Potter movies come to life is now finally possible — and we don’t mean through your friends’ eerily on-point Halloween costumes.

Orange Theatre and Scottsdale Community College Bring Original Work to Beth Hebrew Synagogue in Phoenix
Beth Hebrew Synagogue in downtown Phoenix isn’t your typical place of worship.

The Handmaiden Transcends Its Male-Gaze Sensuality
When Sarah Waters published her gothic lesbian suspense novel Fingersmith in early 2002, the U.S. was beginning a relatively speedy transformation on the LGBT front, building to today’s legalized same-sex marriage and a presidential candidate’s full-throated support for expanded LGBT rights.

Writer/director Osgood Perkins has been peeking at my Shirley Jackson book collection, and he’s already read through my favorites: The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Jackson, who penned chilling ghost stories and moral tales in the ‘40s, ’50s, and ’60s — like her…
A Defense of Oasis, on the Occasion of the Riotous Documentary Supersonic
America never understood Oasis’ hugeness. By that I don’t just mean the band’s epochal mid-’90s global popularity or the nationalistic fervor it stirred in the U.K. I mean, simply, its hugeness of sound. In the States, only the ballads connected, the glorious/meaningless Beatle raptures “Wonderwall,” “Live Forever,” and “Champagne Supernova”…

Live Deliciously with Tampopo, Still the Best Ramen Western There Is
