Here we go with some of my (mostly unbaised) Oscar prediction…which if the Grammy’s taught us, means I’ll get about 10% correct 🙂 Best Picture – Birdman……A lot of people think Boyhood will win it, and the dark horse is American Sniper with all of its recent publicity. But look for Birdman to be the big …
When I first started reading Bone Season, Book 1 in Samantha Shannon’s series, almost two years ago, I was very confused. What was all this talk of clairvoyants and Rephaite, Mime Lords and Scion? But about halfway through the book, it all came together really nicely, and when I read the book a second time, …
The Last Five Years is a musical based on the play by Jason Robert Brown. I would say less than 5% of the dialogue is spoken, making this a true, full-out, musical. The movie stars Anna Kendrick (Cathy) and Jeremy Jordan (Jamie), from Smash, and goes through their relationship, from the present breakup to the …
With the show coming to a close this week, and having given everyone 5 days to watch the last episodes, it is time to discuss.

Backstrom premieres tonight on FOX at 9PM, and features former The Office star Rainn Wilson, as well as Dennis Haysbert (The Unit).

Glee once stood for what was wrong with society. Highlighting issues such as bullying, homophobia, suicides and drug abuse. And then one of their own left the world due to a drug problem, and instead of pulling themselves together and coming back even stronger, the show has quickly become what is wrong with people these …
I spent the last week and a day since it came out listening to Sucker trying to figure out what made it so appealing, and stand out among some of the top albums of 2014. And it wasn’t an easy task to put a finger on what made it so good. That is until I read …
It has been almost 14 years since the series first started, and recently I went back and watched parts of Season 1….only to realize how much the show has evolved since then, and become all the more better. I’ve been watching since Day 1, and besides the Gordon Ramsey adult shows, there isn’t much in …
As I feel obligated to do now, as once you start you gotta keep going, here is the headlines from October. This month started off slow, but news picked up as the month went on: October 1 – Julia Pierson, Director of the Secret Service, resigns over WH breach October 3 – ISIS releases yet …
