...City of Ember. Ronan, who previously earned an Oscar nomination for her supporting role in “Atonement,” has proven her merit once again. Her performance is heart-warming and inspired, and she becomes the shining star of the movie. Unfortunately, the rest of the cast, which includes Bill Murray, Tim Robbins, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste in secondary roles, is disappointing.

This election has been a celebration of diversity on issues of race, gender...

Snider attributes her consistency to remaining connected to the world around her. A mother of two daughters, she tries to stay hip and inspired in order to keep her outlook fresh and uninhibited.“You need to be grounded internally and excited...
