Summer Movie Review: Escape with Beauty and the Beast

July 4, 2016 by Kevin Scott Olson Leave a Comment

THE-SHALLOWS Balke in wet suit with necklace

 

If a summer movie about a brave surfer girl battling the cruel side of Nature sounds appealing, check out The Shallows.

No big-budget special effects or labyrinthine plot here. This is a simple tale in which a trip to a secluded Mexican beach, a beach with special meaning to the heroine,

starts off like this:The Shallows Blake in bikini

And then this:

Blake-Lively entering surf-45-1080x641

 

     Her trip, however, soon takes a fateful turn, and turns into this:

 

The Shallows Blake and shark

Book Review: The Father of Us All: War and History, by Victor Davis Hanson

April 14, 2016 by Kevin Scott Olson Leave a Comment

 

This collection of essays will probably be read only by students of history, but its wisdom would benefit us all.

The Father of Us All

With remarkable breadth of knowledge, Hanson reaches back to ancient times, to the Peloponnesian War between Greece and Sparta, then walks us through history—Caesar, Napoleon, the American Civil War, the World Wars of the twentieth century, the present-day war on terror—and draws correlations that provide us the answers.
