“If You Ain’t Want Him Killed, Why Did You Leave Him With Me?”
Noir is well-known for private detective protagonists, down-on-their-luck protagonists, and just generally kind of surly protagonists. It’s also, unfortunately, a genre made up almost entirely of white protagonists. And then we have Easy Rawlins. I watched Devil in a Blue Dress … Continue reading

Which, hey, could be good, … Continue reading

“The Murderer is Right in This Room, Sitting at This Table. You May Serve the Fish.”
I love writing my excessively wordy reviews, but sometimes they are a bit draining because — unfortunately — I’m not a particularly fast writer, and 3,000 words of snarky analysis actually does take me a while. So I think I … Continue reading
