10 Best Movies of 2024
“Confirmation bias” dawns a juror’s realization that the police limited the scope of its investigation in the death of a woman in a toxic romantic relationship. It’s the movie line of the year from Clint Eastwood’s Juror #2.

The Community of Desire
The Community of Desire
In this selection of critical writings, JOHN DEMETRY offers an introspective of the post-9/11 era up to the beginning of the 2007 Presidential Primary campaign cycle. THE COMMUNITY OF DESIRE traces an awakening awareness of a divided culture--and of pop's healing potential. The best pop art addresses the shared spiritual need that the divisive culture exploits. Some of the works reviewed in this highly personal collection connected with the mass audience. Most did not. Still, DEMETRY encourages readers to join him in keeping up with pop's philosophical innovations and artistic advancements. /// COVER ART (PASTEL 3) by Joshua Demetry /// FOREWORD by Ben Kessler
Serpents and Doves
Serpents and Doves
"Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves."—Matthew 10:16 The flexibility of music library playlists inspired the categorizations in this collection of essays by JOHN DEMETRY. The chapters range in approach: from discovering thematic continuity in early 21st Century pop movies and art cinema (PopArt) to making cultural commentary through post-9/11 assessments of Fleetwood Mac (Heroes Are Hard to Find). The beguiling format counters current criticism’s nihilism and the corresponding fashionable pose of snark. SERPENTS AND DOVES testifies to meaning in our shared popular culture. Features Chapter Introductions by: Ben Kessler, Melinda Selmys, Binx Bolling, Armond White, Sascha Westphal, and Shalin Vora Book Design/Typeset by: Jacob Hernandez
