The artwork and photography featured in the Tulsa Performing Arts Center’s “Firefly Experience” was gorgeous, but I was disappointed to find that the gallery showing was not entirely the multi-sensory “experience” it claimed to be. The Tulsa PAC isn’t exactly hopping at noon on a Wednesday, which is when my roommate and I arrived at […]

Petroleum Engineering: the occasional moral hang-up about their role in environmental degradation. 4. Philosophy: being a dick to your friends. 5. Political Science: the knowledge […]
“Faults” is a film that belongs to no one genre, or at least not one readily identifiable. While my favorite part of the film was certainly its elements of character study, there’s also much to be said of its black comedy and thriller-esque scenarios.
