“The Good Wife” Review: “The Last Call” (5×16)
SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched this week's episode of "The Good Wife" stop reading now! MVP: Julianna Margulies Emmys! Emmys for everyone. No, but seriously. Usually after a major death on a television show there is an episode where the characters grieve. Sometimes it's the funeral, the hospital, or even six…
‘The Good Wife’ Review: “The One Percent” (5×21)
MVP: None There was something odd about this week's episode of The Good Wife. It wasn't anything to do with the quality, although it was a significant improvement over last week, but with its forward momentum. In the grand scheme of the season it felt like a stagnant episode that didn't…
Can Peter Dinklage Win Emmy #2?
Peter Dinklage ended up being the absolutely worthy winner of Game of Thrones' only acting Emmy so far in the series' run. From the beginning of this season, it looked like his storyline was going to put him in line for yet another Emmy, but it wasn't until this week's episode that this hunch came to fruition. The…
“Veep” Review: “Fishing” (3×05)
MVP: Ensemble And finally the campaign is in full swing. We start off with each of our favorite Veeple speaking to Selina's newly acquired campaign volunteers. Of course, each person has something different to say. Gary of course describes how the Veep likes her coffee (she likes Peppermint, but thinks its…
“The Good Wife” Review: “The Deep Web” (5×20)
MVP: Alan Cummings And finally the bubble burst. It was bound to happen, I didn't expect every post-Will Gardner episode of The Good Wife to be perfect and we finally found the one that wasn't. The reason, at least for me, was in the storyline. The "case of the week" involved a college…
RIP Phillips Seymour Hoffman: A Remembrance
I'm not going to speak to the manner of Phillip Seymour Hoffman's death. I find that unnecessary. I am going to speak about his accomplishments in his 46 years of life that ended too early today. He is one of the greatest actors of this century. He brought us such memorable roles as Truman Capote,…
Thee Oh Sees Album Review: “Drop”
out of 10 Thee Oh Sees' Drop... this is one that's kind of hard for me to review because of all the stuff that has been going with these guys in the past year or so. John Dwyer (vocals/guitar) has gone on to do his synth-related solo project Damaged Bug, and…
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: “Noah” (Film Review)
TWO-SENTENCE REVIEW: Although Darren Aronofsky's biblical epic has been shrouded with controversy, the visionary director was able to walk a very thin line to please both the religious and the regular movie goer. Bolstered by strong performances by the entire cast, strong visuals, and a filled out script, "Noah" may be one of the better biblical…

2014 Oscar Predictions: Best Foreign Language Film
"The Great Beauty" is the frontrunner for Best Foreign Language film I feel really bad about this category. Not because it's a weak category, or because there is a lack of competition. Mostly because I haven't watched the majority of the nominees. Either way, I must trudge on and attempt to…
