Villainess Review: Eva Grubb (Gilligan's Island)
Gilligan's Island. What can I say about the show that hasn't been repeated on a loop for decades. This piece is actually one of two about the series that I had been wanting to write on here for the longest time. Much more about the show will be saved for another story, I promise you that. Regarding this, I know this much. The castaways dealt with quite a bit on that show, but while being on a deserted island is an immense hindrance, at least they're somehow safe from other elements.

In March 2026, Breure stepped into a pivotal role as a lead juror for the Joburg Film Festival (JFF) in South Africa, a move that signals a deepening alliance between European innovation and African storytelling.

Book Review: "Parade's End" by Ford Madox Ford (Pt. 2)
Rating: 4/5 - Not as great as the opening volume, but definitely not worth less than a 4 overall... *** Volume 2, No More Parades goes deeper into the psychological state that war inflicts upon the characters, especially our main character. Tietjens struggles to move nearly 3,000 troops from Rouen to the front, obstructed by strange orders, corrupt supply officers, a French railway strike, and harassment from British Garrison Police targeting Canadian volunteers. Of course, Ford's presentation of war here is that difficulty will always be horrific when people's lives are on the line and yes, people's lives are definitely on the line. As amid administrative chaos and German shelling, a Welsh soldier bleeds to death in Tietjens’ arms. Tietjens has tons of guilt over previously denying him leave to confront his wife’s infidelity. This is reflective of his own position - he too has a wife who has been unfaithful but he cannot confront her because he too has been unfaithful. He didn't know this man's position and he was needlessly harsh to him, denying him one last possibility to make amends or break it off with her. He broods the anger towards his own marriage.

Response to 'The Count of Monte Cristo' (Dumas)
There is one main question Alexandre Dumas asks the reader in the book: Are you rich, or is your life rich? Dumas even uses Edmond Dantes to illustrate this. At the beginning of the book, Edmond is poor, but he has his father, Mercedes, and a promotion in a company in which he works for someone who's like a second father to him. When he's rich, he doesn't feel himself enriched.
