Everybody knows Alice in Wonderland—it’s a classic! The iconic Lewis Carroll story was popularized by Disney in 1951, and it’s since been remade and retold countless times. You’re probably familiar with modern remakes like Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass. What you might not know is how one of Studio Ghibli’s most famous films Spirited Away offers a fresh twist on this unforgettable tale. Both stories share a lot more in common than you might think....

The Good An interesting show that really tried to say something about people and the healthcare industry. The Bad I wish there were more audio commentary tracks with the actors. St. Elsewhere: Season 1 is a 22 episode collection of the daily goings on within the busy St. Eligius hospital.

The first films ever made were documentaries: depictions of everyday life as it simply existed, shot through a camera. When we watch movies today, we view them first as we would view these late-nineteenth-century relics – before we even approach the idea of them being narrative constructions, we see them first as depictions of life. As such, documentaries are a disruption of the narrative film, but they are also the precursor to it, and without them, we wouldn’t have Scorsese, Marvel movies, or Rob Schneider in The Hot Chick....
