A good memoir should be more than an autobiography and less than a confessional but contain elements of both. As a reader, I am less interested in being overwhelmed with family trauma and pathos except when it informs the greater tale being told. Quite often, it is the memoirs that feature an excess of pathos More
Chris Pine isn’t method acting. He’s method dressing. In the run-up to his directorial debut Poolman, the people’s favorite Hollywood Chris has been piggybacking off of his recent style metamorphosis by blurring the line between his character’s wardrobe and his own. During his recent visit to beloved Los Angeles deli Langer’s, the actor sported a Big Boy Burgers tank top, red corduroy short shorts, and a big salt-and-pepper beard.

Every time I visit the grave of my mother, Maria de la Luz Arellano Miranda, I follow the same ritual. I park on a cul de sac within Holy Sepulcher Cemetery in Orange, then wander around for at least 10 minutes, annoyed with myself for always forgetting the exact location where Mami is buried. I eventually find her tombstone: black marble engraved with the years of her life, a personal message crafted by my sisters, her nickname, La Ley ("The Law," given to her by her father, my Papa Je, when...
Life Eater caught my eye the moment it appeared on my Twitter feed, having described itself as a ‘horror fantasy kidnapping sim’.

In the funny, terrifying, colorful, oddly lovely, lovably odd "Dead Boy Detectives," premiering Thursday on Netflix, deceased putative teenagers Edwin (George Rexstrew) and Charles (Jayden Revri) investigate what's troubling troubled ghosts. Created by Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner for DC Comics, the eponymous team was born on the pages of "The Sandman" in 1991 and made an appearance, played by much younger actors, in the third season of "Doom Patrol," the best of all superhero series. But the...
