So "28 Weeks Later" was just about the bloodiest movie ever. It was entertaining, but holy crap. That was a lot of blood. I actually had to look away for this one part. Yucky. On Tuesday night, I went to the dress rehearsal of a Radiotheatre production of King Kong. I had to write an article on the production for the United Stages, which will appear on the website soon (unitedstages.com) and will also be in print in several of the upcoming playbills.Â...

Standing next to all of these enormous dinosaurs and ancient carvings and sculptures, I definitely began to notice how small we as humans really are. And we've only been around for such a short amount of time. We're barely a mark in the full history of the planet. What's more, there's a planetarium in the museum, so I went and saw a...
