I wasn't expecting another "Ozymandias," but the slightly mechanical "Felina" wasn't quite what I was expecting.
This actor, who'd earn screen immortality playing detective Nick Charles in 1934's The Thin Man, is someone I'd watch in most anything. What set him apart?
I would compare "Don Jon" to "The Graduate," "Manhattan," "Raging Bull," "Eyes Wide Shut" and the greatest film about masculinity I've seen, "Carnal Knowledge."
Amid the helter-skelter plot twists and screeching tension of the opener, it was reassuring to know that "Homeland" is a show that has remained true to the image of Saul Berenson, the character who provides its moral heartbeat: stubborn, curmudgeonly, and aggressively joke-free.
Were the writers fearful that fans like myself might view Benson as "weak" if she were sexually violated? Doesn't this go against everything Olivia Benson stands for: changing the way women and men see victims of rape?
The future of women's comedy will be greater than 140 characters. Women's comedy takes a long time. We don't like things short and sweet. We like things long and layered, complex and complicated.
Annnd we're back at the aptly named Moxie Salon ("a force of character, determination or nerve") where Teresa is summoning all of hers to shut Penny down. "You wanted to destroy [Melissa], not me," Penny reiterates.
It's the beginning of the end of "The Good Wife" as we know it. Season 5 of "The Good Wife" kicked off right where Season 4 left off, with Alicia still at her front door, face-to-face with Cary discussing Agos/Florrick & Associates. Sorry, Florrick/Agos and Associates.
"All Growz Up" explores what popular comedians wanted to be when they grew up and how that's panned out for them. Join me on this insightful journey into the little minds that became the big minds we love today.
"It's not that I had a plan, but it kind of felt like by saying that, I was allowing that person to have their influence rather than me telling them."
I started watching Breaking Bad late this summer, but before I started I already had a good idea of the characters and plot -- so the scene came as a shock. If this main character raped, or at the very least sexually assaulted, his wife, shouldn't I have heard about it? Why don't we discuss the fact that Walter White sexually assaulted his wife?
What would happen if we combined the greatest TV drama of all time with the greatest TV comedy of all time? Would the chemistry fail? Would it eat through the bathtub and come crashing down onto our heads? No, it wouldn't. It would be 99.6 percent pure.
This month I was thrilled to stumble across a saucy teaser for the Special Film Company's Tom of Finland biopic, which I found promising, sexy and smart. I caught up with the film's directors, Henri Huttunen and Vesa Kuosmanen, to chat about their approach.
Everything Republicans say can't or won't work, California is making work. And everything conservatives claim will unravel the fabric of our society has only made California stronger. And all we had to do to accomplish that was vote out every single Republican.
American Jesus shows that in the American religious community life goes on as if the Enlightenment had never taken place.
There are dozens of year-end films that no one has seen yet, but Oscar pundits have been calculating different movies' odds since January.
It's been a long four months since Greg and Tamara leapt into a portal with Henry and forced our favorite heroes and villains to mount an unlikely rescue attempt together, but was the "Once Upon a Time" season premiere worth the wait?
My concern is not about whether a plot works and is full of holes, but that we see such police brutality depicted all the time on many TV cop shows.
In an intriguing rondo of capsule reviews, the relative values of flesh-eating humans vs. wild tacodiles vs. horny teen victims are explored, and, more importantly, we get a show out of three of the most disparate films possible.
Her realist, jaded approach to life, as opposed to the happy, glamorized parties in other pop videos, is now put to the test. Does she live up to the hype?
I've mentioned this before, but I still can't believe that at such an early age, we were all listening to music and taking it all in. Maybe it's because there was nothing on the telly in those days. I mean, in the UK we only had two channels - and they didn't start until 5pm. In black and white.
Perhaps the most talked about episode of television this year aired a few weeks ago. A prominent character had just been killed. Another was handed over to be tortured by a band of neo-Nazi meth-makers.
