Using tools isn't what distinguishes us from our fellow creatures; plenty of other animals use tools. But, so far as we know, we are the only animal that tells stories. I think this matters. Stories are how process our own experience and how we get to see the other worlds beyond our own and the experience of other people. I think they are, thus, an important way in which we develop empathy. This page collects all my movie, television, and video game reviews. Enjoy!
