Alex Taylor February 5, 2023

The Meaning of Birth presents a dynamic struggle to articulate the beauty of our being born and other wisdom necessary to recover the metaphysics of being ‘pro-birth.’

Evil and Idiocy in Johnson’s Glass Onion

Carlos Perona Calvete February 5, 2023

Daniel Craig’s southern detective dressed like Cary Grant invokes the gravitas of tradition against postmodernity’s myth of the tech-disruptor, together with a heroine armed with a perfect disinterest in wealth.

The 9th Art: Are Marvel Comics ‘Classics’?

Felix James Miller February 4, 2023

Penguin’s choice to publish Marvel comics under their “Classics” label is provocative, but is it justified? This month’s comics column considers this question while reviewing the new Penguin volumes.

Athena: Cinematic Apocalyptica and Visions of Civil War

Carlos Perona Calvete January 30, 2023

Forgotten Classics: Shakespeare’s Best Play (About Sex and Law and Grace)

Felix James Miller January 28, 2023

Paris Opéra’sTristan Sounds Good but Has Seen Better Days

A Man Worth Knowing

Jonathon Van Maren January 16, 2023

In this biography, Christopher J. Farrell describes an extinct species—a muscular liberal and hardcore anti-Communist. It is interesting to read about a man like Earle in an era where, according to progressives, there are mere inches between calling for tax cuts and becoming Hitler.
