Perhaps I’ve just been worn down. Perhaps we’ve passed through the quality looking glass and everything has gone topsy-turvy. Who knows. But “Tupperware Party Massacre” is a dementedly fun, twisted episode of Freak Show. It’s a sign of vitality at a relatively late stage of the season, and thank goodness for it. The episode…
With the critics awards ramping up, the Oscar race is beginning to take shape. This year has been an oddity with the lack of a consensus regarding many categories. However, Boyhood is the undisputed frontrunner for Best Picture With wins in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, and Britain under its belt, Boyhood is now the clear frontrunner for…
I think that we’re far enough into American Horror Story as a television series now that we can diagnose the show’s chief problem, especially because it’s a problem that plagues Ryan Murphy’s entire oeuvre, more or less.

Season arcs come…
Parenthood really could have gone out for the year on a better note. “Lean In” is a middling episode at best, with stories that are repetitive, grating, and frustrating. As much as I love Sarah and Hank, it’s a rough week indeed when their portion of the show is the sole highlight of the episode.…

I know you shouldn't judge a movie by its trailer, but when it's this good there's no way to ignore it. Such is the case of the much-anticipated and slightly dreaded reboot of the Jurassic Park series with the June 2015 release Jurassic World. I dare you to find me someone who wasn't blown away the first time they…

As expected, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 dominated the box office this black Friday adding an estimated $24,100,000 to its $168,608,000 haul from its first week in theaters. This is after a disappointing opening weekend which was the largest of 2014, but the smallest in the franchise history. The third installment also took in $11.1 on…
