A Curiel Turn of Events
Fenster writes: Trump’s comments on the judge in the Trump University case are curiel indeed. He leads with his chin, making the most of the fact that Curiel is “Mexican”. That allows the mainstream press to pummel him. Curiel is … Continue reading

Notes on “Occupied”

“The Hateful Eight” Partial Review
Fenster writes: Here, I wrote a “non-review” of Django Unchained. As I wrote then, I’d fallen for Pulp Fiction and felt compelled to return to Tarantino, repeatedly, looking for that sugar high. But most all of his later work I … Continue reading
Notes on “No Escape”
Fenster writes: If Bone Tomahawk is a mashup by intent No Escape is a mashup, but an inadvertent one. The tale appears to have aspirations to a coherent whole–American family caught up in a revolution, with some political commentary present … Continue reading
