If there’s anything that’s been consistent about this site in its near-20 years of beaming (babbling?) hypertext to servers and back to you, it’s that I’m very bossy when I get into something new, especially cocktails. When I fell in love with Porch Swings, I wanted you to as well. Ditto for Blood Orange Margaritas (but only when in season), a Perfect Manhattan era that spanned over a decade, Boulevardier that has been woven into almost every year since, and a Slushy Paper Plane phase last year. This past winter and spring still, it’s been Sidecars, 1920s-era cocktails with about as many conflicting stories as my kids regale us with when they didn’t do their homework. Read more »

4 Animated Movies From 1988 That Still Hit Incredibly Hard (& None Can Ever Be Remade)

When it comes to animated movies, 1988 was a great year — and several of its releases still hit incredibly hard, even decades later. It helps that many animated projects from the ’80s don’t pull their punches. From 1982’s The Secret of NIMH to 1989’s All Dogs to to Heaven, there are many examples that []

REVIEW: 'Supergirl'

Movie genres run out of steam. It has ever been thus. So many Westerns were made in the first half-century of the American cinema that they still outnumber any other genre, but they're a footnote now.

They seem to settle in forever and then they fade. So too with the dominant genre of the 21st century, the superhero picture.The post REVIEW: 'Supergirl' appeared first on .
