The Phenomenon That Is The ‘Sons Of Anarchy’

Moving into its final season, the FX drama “Sons Of Anarchy” is more than a well written show. It is a look into an American subculture and a treatise on moral ambiguity and masculinity. The insight into the mind of the antihero has opened a yearning in the American psyche, creating a resurgence in motorcycle riding.

According to an article in the Hollywood Reporter, ‘SoA’ star Mark Boone Jr claims to have saved Harley-Davidson. The iconic motorcycle maker had a 6 percent bump in U.S. sales from 2012 to 2013, possibly because of the show’s popularity.

“IF I STAY” a Matter of Choice (Film Review)

August 21st, 2014

John Delia

Directly targeted at teens and softhearted female romantics, for them the film If I Stay hits the sweet spot. The screenplay taken from a young adult novel by Gayle Forman gets a sugar coating, works some magic and provides a vision most likely to be enamored by teen girls that are significantly worldly and have precocious desires. Most tweens and youngsters could be a bit bored and miss the nuance and message of the story, but if not should need a Kleenex or two and a shoulder to cry on during the tearjerker ending.
