British series "Black Mirror" spins heads for spooky fun

This year Halloween falls on a Monday. We had the weekend to party, so tonight can be another Halloween tradition–watching a scary TV show while burrowing into the couch and stress-eating candy in suspense. Although it can be fun to stay in with some horror classics, I’d like to offer a more unconventional alternative: a thriller in which technology is the meddling shadow hiding behind the curtain. “Black Mirror,” the UK’s modern spin on “The Twilight Zone,” just released a third season through Netflix on Oct. 21. The anthology series features stand-alone cautionary episodes presenting different hypothetical futures, based on the growing expanse of technological influence. Each episode is a new story that takes an element of our increasingly digital-dependent society and pushes it a step further, often prophesying a chilling yet not-so-distant future.

Kinky Boots dazzles audiences with stunning talent and design

A soon-to-be out-of-business shoe factory is saved by a fortuitous encounter with a team of drag queens, needing footwear that can meet the needs of their profession. This was all I knew about the show Kinky Boots, a Tony Award-winning broadway musical, before I had the opportunity to see it on July 12 at the Overture Center.

Dare to travel outside of your comfort zone

When I was only two weeks old, I embarked on my first plane ride across the Atlantic Ocean. Considering traveling is one of my family’s favorite pastimes, it was something that they practically forced me to do against my own will ever since I can remember. My parents would constantly travel to London for various reasons. Me, as young as I was, would also have to go with them. So as you can imagine, I became an avid traveler very quickly. By the time I finished elementary school, I had been to Iran, Singapore, London, Portugal, France and Malaysia. These journeys were moments in my life that I treasure not only because they were enjoyable, but more importantly because it taught me about the world’s different cultures, values and ideals.
