Monday Tuning Out Revolution and Mob Doctor Hopes

25 September 2012 by Jess

Revolution All right, this one is getting kicked to the curb. I watched the second episode, and it still didn’t convince me I have to watch it to find out what happens. I did find it a little more engaging than the pilot, but I just can’t buy into it. They are just trying too […]

What an amazing night of television! CBS Premiere Night

25 September 2012 by Jess

Lots to cover, so I’ll get right to it: How I Met Your Mother I spent the weekend catching up on some episodes of the past seasons of HIMYM, and I’ve gotta say, this show’s still got it. It’s been on for over 7 years now, and it is still hilarious. Barney as always is […]

Review: Rise of the Planet of the Apes – The Best Planet of the Apes so far

23 September 2012 by Jess

I didn’t get around to seeing this one in the theaters, but it’s running on HBO right now so I decided to check it out. As usual, I had to watch it in two chapters, but eventually, I watched it all the way through. I was pleasantly surprised. I’m not a big James Franco fan–seeing […]

Staying Up All Night Has Never Been This Fun

21 September 2012 by Jess

I know there are plenty of people who love 30 Rock, The Office, and Parks and Recreation, and I love some of the actors on those shows, too, but Up All Night is the only one I tune in for. It has two of my favorite funny people on it, and it really is a […]

NBC Tuesday: Please Go On!

19 September 2012 by Jess

What a long day! I was in my car for about 2 or 3 hours straight driving to the airport and back, and I think the sun glare may have baked my poor little eyeballs a little. However, I was able to stay up long enough to catch NBC Tuesday! NBC Tuesday: Week 2 Go […]

Dark and Twisty, Meet Mediocrity

18 September 2012 by Jess

Mob Doctor This one was actually much better than I expected. The TV spots made it look a little cheesy, but once you see the characters and the dialogue in the context of the show and dialogue, they work. I’ve liked Jordana Spiro for a long time–truly saddened when My Boys went off the air–but […]

NBC Tuesday: Funny and Sweet

12 September 2012 by Jess

Go On I’m a major Matthew perry Fan, so this one is a no brainer for me. The first episode was sweet and funny in way that I didn’t quite expect. It’s not too jokey or gimmicky, just about right for a primetime sitcom. While it might be too early to tell, for me anyway, […]

Psych – Have A Giggle

21 October 2011 by Jess

If you haven’t been watching Psych! for the last few years, you have seriously been missing out. Not only is it funny, but it’s nerdy and silly and really great at pop culture references from the 80s and early 90s. If there’s one thing I love, it’s obscure pop culture references that only dorks like […]

Why Javier Bardem Will Be The Best Bond Villain of the Past 20 Years

13 October 2011 by Jess

I just learned who will be playing the villain in the next James Bond film: Javier Bardem. Yes, the really good-looking Spaniard from Eat, Pray, Love. Here’s why this was probably the BEST move the Bond film creators could have made at this point, after an inexplicably poor showing for the previous film, Quantum of […]

Why Free Agents Got Canceled

12 October 2011 by Jess

Unfortunately, Free Agents on NBC was recently canceled after just a couple episodes. While I liked the show, it was lacking a few things that would have allowed it to get picked up for the season. There wasn’t enough chemistry between Kathryn Hahn and Hank Azaria. Individually, they were great. They were each funny and […]

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.
