FYI: Tune in Friday on FX for a marathon of the first five episodes of The Americans! If you missed any thus far, now’s your chance to catch up! How I Met Your Mother Ted and Jeanette continue their on again off again relationship until Barney steps in. He pulls out the Playbook (yes, the […]
The Last of Last Week’s Catch-ups
So, in a follow-up to Oscar night, first off, I forgot to include Barbra Streisand’s performance! It was really lovely as she sang “Memories” after the In Memoriam segment, and she sounds as good as ever, perhaps better… Secondly, screw all you people who are trashing Seth MacFarlane. THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOR HIRING THE […]
Justified, The Americans, Suits Finale, a Partridge in a Pear Tree and a Few More
Sorry these are a bit late, but I’ve been editing my book like mad to meet my publishing goals! Here’s recaps from most of the shows from last week. The New Normal It’s getting to be about that time–panic time, that is. David and Bryan have a small crisis with their dog, Harvey Milkbone. The […]
Oscar Night 2013: Here’s to the Losers
So, the Life of Pi. That’s pretty much the only movie that won anything the entire night. Seriously, I was pretty ticked about this. Ben Affleck got stiffed on pretty much everything–Argo won editing and writing, but Alan Arkin was robbed. I couldn’t believe Anna Karenina didn’t get nominated more, let alone didn’t win anything […]
The Kiss Heard Round the World and a New Show within a Show

Monday Night: Dreams, Kidnappings, and Football
How I Met Your Mother Ted gets a call from the Captain, whom you’ll remember is his ex’s (Jennifer Morrison) ex-husband (Kyle MacLachlan), and he’s afraid that the Captain is ready to seek revenge. The entire gang tries to recall the last time they saw the Captain, about a year and a half ago at […]
Double Revenge and Elementary: Drugs, Cliffhangers and Boats
Elementary “A Giant Gun, Filled with Drugs” This was actually a pretty heavy episode, but I guess I enjoy watching John Hannah too much to have noticed. John Hannah (The Mummy films, Damages, Spartacus: War of the Danmed, etc.) makes a guest appearance in this episode as Rhys Kinlan, Sherlock’s now reformed former drug dealer […]
Review: All Good Things
I love Ryan Gosling. Who doesn’t? I have missed seeing Kirsten Dunst, and this is one of the more prominent movies she’s been in over the last couple years, so I thought I’d see it. Mistake. This movie moved WAY too slowly for me to get into it. I had to watch it several sittings […]
Review: A Good Day to Die Hard
After you get through so many sequels, it’s not surprising that they never live up to the original. I’m extremely saddened to say this one is the fourth best out of the five Die Hard films. The trailers for it are pretty good–they promoted the heck out of this movie and they really did a […]
