I have to admit that as the season wears on, it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to write about Shameless. It’s still a bridge too far to call the show weak at this stage—in fact I think it’s attempting a number of really interesting things—but there is a spark that, for me at least,…
I don't like changing my predictions too close to Oscar night. It tends to lead to unnecessary second guessing and almost always leads to no good. However, this year it looks like I'm going to be changing back and forth all the way up to Oscar night. This year is like no other for the…
Best Actress is an open and shut category. Julianne Moore (Still Alice) was the early frontrunner, even when it was for a different film. Either way, whether she was in the running for Still Alice or A Map to the Stars, it looked like she would finally win her Oscar. She has everything: a pure Oscar bait role, a performance…
Perhaps inevitably, “Where’s the Black Lady?” does not quite reach the fever pitch of last week’s “Run,” though it sure tries like hell to. That said, Scandal packs in some really great scenes this week, and guest director Debbie Allen does some uncommonly great work here, as does Tony Goldwyn in what is one of…
I was aching for an episode featuring the entire group after the break, and must admit I never really latched onto Tyreese. But by the time his inner news radio reached a fever pitch and he told the ghosts to "turn it off", I was sold. WARNING: This article contains spoilers for those not caught up…

First and foremost, fuck that title, which is a bitch to type and is not clever in the least. With that out of the way, while this week’s episode of Shameless shows sparks of promise in a few key areas, it does not deliver on these within the confines of the episode itself, which is…
I recently took a vacation to Las Vegas only to discover it was not for me. Outside of Cirque du Soleil (which is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen); the smoke filled casinos, confusing slot machines, and overpriced everything wore me down. The trip to Vegas I took when I entered the Nederlander Theatre however,…

The Oscar for Best Animated Feature is usually won in a walk. Frozen, Up, Toy Story 3 were all the frontrunners from close to the beginning of Oscar season and pulled it out all the way to the end. The only year in recent memory that the race was unclear was in 2012 when Brave…
