Edith Head – Magic and Camouflage
“What a costume designer does is a cross between magic and camouflage. We create the illusion of changing the actors into what they are not. We ask the public to believe that every time they see a performer on the screen he’s become a different person.”

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Movie Review
Widely beloved by both old and new audiences, the Indiana Jones franchise delivered great thrills and entertaining adventures throughout the 1980s. In 2008, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was met with disdain and many believed it marked the end of the series. Fifteen years later, Disney and James Mangold have brought the famous archaeologist back for one more run. Regretfully, the end result is yet another failed legacy sequel.

The Chronicles of Narnia: An Immigration Story
Most scholarship centered around the Chronicles of Narnia focuses on the religious imagery C.S. Lewis utilized within his fairytale world. Christianity is undoubtably an important aspect of the Chronicles of Narnia; Aslan represents Jesus, Edmund represents Judas, and countless other religious allegories litter the series, but that is not all the series has to offer. In fact, whether intentional or not, Lewis wrote a compelling tale of the immigrant journey, particularly with the Pevensies. The four siblings are activists and provide a service to the Narnia, freeing them from the White Witch. However, they are deported from their true home, sent back to England. They eventually return, only to make the journey back to England because it is what is best for their people. They are forced to leave their kingdom in the hand of another king, a descendant of colonizers, though Narnia is where they feel they truly belong.
