My Review of "Seinfeld: Season 8"
Seinfeld: Season 8 came out during the years of 1996 and 1997. This season is a bit of a departure from the rest of the seasons. It feels like they revamped the show as there are a lot of changes in the show. They still have the same sense of quirky dark comedy in there but there are some noticable changes. Even the actors seemed to have had some makeovers themselves that make it feel like this season happened a few years after the last season.

Review of 'The Honeys'
From Ryan La Sala, the wildly popular author of Reverie, comes a twisted and tantalizing horror novel set amidst the bucolic splendor of a secluded summer retreat. Mars has always been the lesser twin, the shadow to his sister Caroline's radiance. But when Caroline dies under horrific circumstances, Mars is propelled to learn all he can about his once-inseparable sister who'd grown tragically distant. Mars's genderfluidity means he's often excluded from the traditions — and expectations — of his politically-connected family. This includes attendance at the prestigious Aspen Conservancy Summer Academy where his sister poured so much of her time. But with his grief still fresh, he insists on attending in her place. What Mars finds is a bucolic fairytale not meant for him. Folksy charm and sun-drenched festivities camouflage old-fashioned gender roles and a toxic preparatory rigor. Mars seeks out his sister's old friends: a group of girls dubbed the Honeys, named for the beehives they maintain behind their cabin. They are beautiful and terrifying — and Mars is certain they're connected to Caroline's death. But the longer he stays at Aspen, the more the sweet mountain breezes give way to hints of decay. Mars’s memories begin to falter, bleached beneath the relentless summer sun. Something is hunting him in broad daylight, toying with his mind. If Mars can't find it soon, it will eat him alive.

My Life In Movies
Movies have always been my first love. As much as I enjoy writing fiction these days, I came to that through a lifetime of enjoying movies; studying movies; writing about movies; getting angry at strangers on the internet about movies…you get the idea. It was attempts to write screenplays that got me here, on Vocal, sharing short fiction, so I thought I might mix up the two loves and try a series of film based articles. Those of you who have read my fiction will no doubt see a clear line connecting the two things.

Jennifer Lawrence makes an impression
I had written in another article that Jennifer Lawrence did not win an Oscar, but came to discover that I was wrong. She did win an Oscar at the age of 22 for her role as Tiffany in Silver Linings Playbook. That is my favorite performance from her and I'm glad she won, but I did not know that until recently. I decided to write about Jennifer Lawrence, as a fan and admirer, and also to mention the five characters she has played in the films I have seen her in. These five roles are iconic in my opinion.
