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…
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…
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,…
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…
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.

Who will take the top prize in Hollywood? Find out tonight on the 86th Academy Awards I will be live blogging my reactions to the 86th Academy Awards. Refresh this page for my latest thoughts (and frustrations) on winners, the ceremony, and all things Oscar. Check out my predictions here to…
"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…
Will "Inside Llewyn Davis" follow in the footsteps of musical films like "Les Miserables" and "Dreamgirls" and win Best Sound Mixing? This category is pretty much locked up. "Gravity" probably will and deserves to win. Even I, a complete idiot when it comes to sound design, can tell that the sound mixing is…
Will the Academy spread the love and award "Captain Phillips"? I am no expert in Sound Design, but I see an upset brewing in this category. "Gravity" is expected to sweep 6-7 awards, possibly up to 8 if it wins Best Picture. However, I think that "Captain Phillips" has a good chance…
Could a film with "Jackass" in the title actually win an Oscar? This is an interesting category. All the nominees are very understated, but there is one that stands out. Usually the general rule of thumb is if you're nominated for Best Picture, then you have an advantage in any given…
