Author: Jeffrey Harvey

I am a 20-30 year-old studier of arts and humanity, at an independent level. My interests include chronic mental health issues, religions and cults, serial killers, and of course, on occasion, puppies. I have not murdered anyone, and I have been rather successful at food-related experimentation. I spend a decent portion of my time absorbing movies and TV shows, whether on Netflix, or the old-fashioned way of DVDs, or the even more old-fashioned way of going to the theater by myself. Author of the moderately well-received, locally-performed theatrical play The Wind in the Willows, which is an adaptation of the children's novel of the same name by Kenneth Grahame, as well as the song "Force of Nature", available to listen to for free on YouTube. I am an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan, owner of two fantasy football teams, which have had varying degrees of success, and a performer of songs made famous by female artists at my neighborhood karaoke bars. Psalm 18 is my favorite chapter of any book, Haim and Jule Vera are my jams, and I will watch any movie by Philadelphia native M. Night Shyamalan.

Oops! I Made You Root for the Bad Guy.

    In an age where our entertainment is encouraged to present more complex moral tales—replacing black and white with gray—it naturally follows that the line between hero and villain is now more blurred than ever. But is that a good thing or a bad thing?     There is a certain loss of innocence that comes … Continue reading Oops! I Made You Root for the Bad Guy. →

To My Brothers and Sisters in Christ

   In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). Following the creation of light, water, sky, stars and moon, plants, creatures of land, air, and water, God creates man. One man. Adam. He is the only human living on the face of the earth. In Genesis chapter 2, verse 18, the … Continue reading To My Brothers and Sisters in Christ →

How would Jesus play football?

  Ah, the NFL playoffs! The best time of the year for the four to six fan bases who actually feel like their team has a chance of winning. As a recent Eagles fan, I am excited.

Hollywood’s Originality Problem

A slew of technical difficulties threatened to ruin the experience for me and my fellow film-goers, from the screen going blank, to … Continue reading Hollywood’s Originality Problem →
