It's the episode we've been waiting for since the Pilot and is a sign of the end for The Good Wife. Towards the end of "Shiny Objects," Alicia takes the stage to announce her candidacy for State's Attorney. However, the question posed throughout the episode was whether or not she would do it with Peter by…
Walking into Philly’s Union Transfer a couple of weeks ago, I had quite a few high expectations for headliner and local legend Circa Survive, as well as openers Pianos Become the Teeth, and Title Fight. I expected no-flaws, tight bands that were into the touring groove; but after seeing two (amazing in their own rights)…

Best Motion Picture, Drama Boyhood Foxcatcher The Imitation Game Selma The Theory of Everything Best Actor in a Motion Picture,…
I dare you to find me someone who didn't at least like Walk the Moon's self-titled debut album. It's just an 11-song marathon of jam after danceable jam infused with glorious rock tropes and infectious pop melodies. Every time I go back to the album I can't fathom how absolutely catchy it is or how a…
The Screen Actors' Guild Awards are a key indicator of the Oscar nominations and winners. Although in recent years the two kudos haven't exactly matched up, they still give us an idea of the trending Oscar films. This year's nominees are below: Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture Birdman Boyhood The Grand Budapest Hotel…

Given how intoxicating the revival of Side Show proves to be, you may want to take in a second or third look. The original production of Side Show has become infamous. A flop that barely lasted three months, it…
