I read a lot of thrillers. They’re usually an easy read because they aren’t filled with deep, meaningful prose and the best ones move at a fast pace with surprising twists and turns. You can polish off a good thriller in a night or two. Frequently though, they are somewhat hollow at their core...

Like everybody else in the world, I watch The Walking Dead but my relationship with the show has often been troubled. It’s like a friend who did something unforgiveable only to apologize and make up for it a few years later. I may accept him as my friend again, but I’ll always watch him...

Most importantly though, this is a movie about misogyny;...
