Wednesday and Thursday Catch-ups: Baseball, Comas, and Families

29 September 2013 by Jess

Back in the Game The promos for this made it look a little cheesy. A little simplistic. But after watching it, it was anything but. It was actually really funny! Terry (Maggie Lawson, our favorite blond detective from Psych!) Is a recently divorced single mother living with her curmudgeonly father nicknamed “the Cannon” (played by […]

The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Episode 15: We Are Men Edition

29 September 2013 by Jess

Since CBS’s new comedy We Are Men premieres tomorrow night with Tony Shalhoub, Kal Penn, and Jerry O’Connell, I wanted to feature it on this week’s episode of the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. I am super excited to see the new show! With this many big names on board, I hope that means it […]

Monday and Tuesday Recaps: Horsemen, Criminals, Pot-Offs, and Taggers

28 September 2013 by Jess

Sleepy Hollow How do we make Sleepy Hollow even more like The X Files? Why, Abby was bound for Quantico! Of course! I thought I’d mention that because I’m having fun comparing these things to shows I know and love. This episode was actually quite an improvement over the first. It looks like there will […]

Thursday Night Crazies, Tremors, and Family

27 September 2013 by Jess

The Crazy Ones I am blown away by how good this show was. They’ve been promo-ing it for weeks, and I was like, yeah, yeah, I’ll watch it, but don’t get so heavy-handed with the “Robin Williams’ return to television” thing. Yeah, they had a right to do that. It’s brilliant. Sarah Michelle Gellar plays […]

SHIELD Explodes onto Tuesday Night and Some Other Stuff, Too

25 September 2013 by Jess

Agents of SHIELD May I just say, well done, sir. Well done. They really knocked this one out of the park. It was so nice to see so many familiar faces–J. August Richards (Angel), Ron Glass (Firefly), and a few other names in the behind-the-scenes credits, not to mention the main man, back from the […]

CBS Fall Premiere Night: Hits and Misses All Over the Place!

24 September 2013 by Jess

How I Met Your Mother First off, I wasn’t pleased when they introduced the mother at the end of last season. I am less displeased now. I’m still not completely happy about it, but less angry than I was. Robin and Barney hit a couple snags on their trip to the altar, as they realize […]

IT’S HERE! A Look Ahead at Fall Premiere Week

23 September 2013 by Jess

I didn’t watch the Emmys last night. Originally I had plans to attend a concert festival yesterday, but I wasn’t feeling up to the crowds so I stayed home and watched the season finales of Dexter, Ray Donovan, and Devious Maids (one of these things is not like the others…). I don’t want to recap […]

The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Episode 14: Agents of SHIELD Edition

22 September 2013 by Jess

Since Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premieres this week, already with over a million Facebook fans and 100k Twitter followers, I thought I’d feature the man with a plan, Agent Phil Coulson, played by the incredible Clark Gregg, in this week’s 6DKB (what do you think of the abbreviation? Yes or no?). Clark Gregg is another one […]

Review: Seeking a Friend for the End of the World

17 September 2013 by Jess

Leave it to Steve Carrell to make me fall in love with movies all over again. I was so surprised by my reaction to this movie – I knew it would be good (Keira Knightley doesn’t make bad movies) but I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was. The movie centers on […]

Love and Apocalypses: Sunday-Monday Finales and Premieres

17 September 2013 by Jess

FYI: you should be way proud of me for putting this thing together. I’ve been suffering through forearm/elbow tendonitis for the past few weeks, and I typed this entire post instead of dictating it. My fingers hurt, but I did it. You’re welcome. The Newsroom-Finale I think this may have been the best season of […]

About the Blog

This is a place to share my love and excessive fandom of film, actors, and television. I gush a lot, and I complain a lot, usually not simultaneously.

I share my take on the latest movies I’ve seen (some new, some new to me, and some classics that are worth a rewatch), and a little promotion here and there for shows or films that I feel deserve a little more attention than they’re getting.

So, kick back, settle in, switch on, tune in, or whatever you have to do and join in on the love for all things that move on-screen.
