The Last of Last Week’s Catch-ups

25 February 2013 by Jess

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

25 February 2013 by Jess

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

25 February 2013 by Jess

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

20 February 2013 by Jess

New Girl Things get weird. So Jess and Nick kissed. It was a hell of a kiss. But now Schmidt knows and claims that Nick violated the rule they made when they took on a female roommate that no one was allowed to hook up with her. This all comes about over a parking space […]

Monday Night: Dreams, Kidnappings, and Football

19 February 2013 by Jess

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

19 February 2013 by Jess

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

18 February 2013 by Jess

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

18 February 2013 by Jess

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 […]

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.
