History of The Three Stooges (Part I: The Beginnings and Columbia Pictures - 1920s-1936)
I have been itching to write about The Three Stooges on Vocal for close to two years, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I wanted to do it by third Stooge, but that's a bit complicated. I know this much. I was about eight or nine years old when I first saw The Three Stooges. I remember one of my local channels had the Stooges on for hours, and I tried my damnedest to be up for those shorts. I remember that the Family Channel actually had an hour of the Stooges on from 11PM to midnight, and it was the entire library on during that time.

The Politics of Playing Dress-Up
Well, to start off I'd like to say a happy world book day to all who celebrate. I know I haven't really posted anything on my socials about it but I'm not a jubilant kind of person. I lay low most of the time. Let's start off with a popular anecdote from the vaults...

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Series Review (Season 1)
As one of the biggest properties in fantasy, A Song of Ice and Fire remains immensely popular with audiences. After reaching far into the past with House of the Dragon, a second spin-off was on the cards. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms serves up a bite-sized slice of action and drama, but it still claims a spot among the best small-screen titles.

The Big Book Review: "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman (Pt.1)
This book is split into parts but honestly, the parts themselves have so many ideas that I have no idea how I could fit everything I wanted to say into ONE review. I know I haven't done this since 'Reliable Essays' by Clive James, but I'd like to try that structure again. Sorry if it's not something you enjoy but I really wanted to share this...

Goodbye, Mr. Duvall
It is turning out to be an interesting year. I was in the middle of teaching a class when a pop-up appeared on the screen announcing the death of Mr. Robert Seldon Duvall (yes, that was his full name). I was in the middle of a discussion on the obsession we have with winning when it comes to sports (the Winter Olympics was a theme), and I felt as though things were coming full circle. We had already lost Gene Hackman last year, and along with that titan, it feels though one particular golden age has closed off to be replaced by...?

Rereading Review: "Martin Chuzzlewit" by Charles Dickens
Martin Chuzzlewit is one of Dickens' lesser known novels and I'm not going to lie to you but I originally wrote thousands of words for this review before cutting it down. I originally read it (and disliked it) when I was about 20 years' old and I thought that perhaps coming back to it older would make me appreciate the humour more. Spoiler alert: it didn't. I don't like the snide humour of this book, or the attempts at slapstick comedy in atmospheric writing. But I will say that it is satirical and fun and has some of the best examples of writing that the young Dickens had to offer at the time. It may not be in my top five Dickens novels but that's besides the point. Let's take a look at some of my favourite scenes and characters...

Amy Madigan wins best supporting actress for ‘Weapons’. AI-Generated.
In a night celebrated for cinematic excellence, veteran actress Amy Madigan captured the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in the critically acclaimed film Weapons, a performance that has been widely praised for its depth, nuance, and emotional resonance. The announcement, made at the 2026 International Film Awards on Saturday evening, brought a standing ovation from attendees, highlighting Madigan’s enduring impact on the film industry. Weapons, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Lena Torres, explores the complex moral landscape of modern warfare and personal accountability. Madigan’s portrayal of Dr. Eleanor Hayes, a humanitarian worker grappling with the consequences of her past decisions, has been described by critics as “mesmerizing” and “hauntingly authentic.” In interviews leading up to the awards ceremony, Madigan emphasized that the role was “a deeply personal journey,” allowing her to explore themes of guilt, courage, and redemption. The voting panel, composed of prominent figures from the film community, cited Madigan’s “ability to convey profound emotional depth with subtlety and grace” as a decisive factor in her win. “Amy Madigan’s performance transcends the screen,” said panel chair Michael Reynolds. “She brings humanity to a story that could easily have been bleak and inaccessible. Her work reminds us why cinema is such a powerful medium for empathy and reflection.” The award marks another milestone in Madigan’s distinguished career, which spans more than four decades and includes multiple accolades across stage and screen. Known for her versatility, she has portrayed a wide array of characters in drama, comedy, and thriller genres, earning critical acclaim for her commitment to authentic storytelling. Industry insiders note that her latest performance in Weapons solidifies her reputation as one of the most reliable and compelling supporting actresses of her generation. On accepting the award, Madigan delivered a heartfelt speech that touched on the collaborative nature of filmmaking. “This recognition is not just about me,” she said, voice resonating through the packed auditorium. “It’s about the incredible team that brought Weapons to life—from the director and writers to the crew and my fellow cast members. Every scene, every moment, was built together, and this award reflects that collective effort.” Director Lena Torres, who joined Madigan on stage during the ceremony, praised the actress for bringing authenticity to a character grappling with moral ambiguity. “Amy has a rare gift,” Torres said. “She inhabits her characters so completely that you forget you are watching a performance. Dr. Hayes could have been a distant figure, but Amy gave her a heart, a story, and a voice that resonates long after the credits roll.” Critical reception for Weapons has been overwhelmingly positive, with reviewers highlighting the film’s tight screenplay, evocative cinematography, and compelling ensemble cast. While Madigan’s role is central, many have also noted the seamless interplay between her and lead actor Javier Cortés, whose performance as a conflicted soldier anchors the narrative. Together, they navigate a story that addresses complex ethical dilemmas without resorting to melodrama, balancing tension with human empathy. Industry commentators suggest that Madigan’s win may influence the trajectory of awards season, positioning Weapons as a strong contender for further accolades in writing, direction, and ensemble acting categories. “Her performance sets a standard,” said film critic Natalie Wong. “It reminds voters and audiences alike that supporting roles are often the emotional heartbeat of a film. Amy elevates every scene she is in, making her recognition not just deserved but essential.” The evening itself was marked by notable moments, including tributes to pioneering filmmakers, performances from acclaimed musicians, and a series of speeches reflecting on the transformative power of cinema. Yet, for many in attendance, Madigan’s win represented the emotional highlight—a reminder that authenticity, dedication, and emotional intelligence remain at the core of extraordinary storytelling. As Madigan’s career continues, she has expressed a desire to take on roles that challenge conventional narratives and offer insight into underrepresented perspectives. Her achievement with Weapons underscores her ability to choose projects that are both artistically ambitious and socially resonant, cementing her status as an actress capable of shaping not just performances but the broader conversation around contemporary cinema. With this accolade, Amy Madigan joins a distinguished lineage of actors whose supporting roles have left a lasting imprint on audiences and critics alike. Her performance in Weapons is poised to be remembered as one of the defining moments of 2026, exemplifying the enduring impact of craft, commitment, and courage in the art of acting.
