Review: Weeds!

Dude, end of season 2? Harsh!! Serious firepower
Conclusion? Fairly awesome. Some wonderful bonding moments between Nancy and a gun wielding drug dealer at the gas station.
Celia is THE DEVIL!!!

Review: Californication

Ok so I think I’m probably a little overly sensitive when it comes to the cliches so I’m going to just let the little problems I noted slide since, in the grand scheme of things, they were really minor compared to all the totally rad parts - bad words, dirty naked sex, precocious freaky children. [...]

Review: Tell Me You Love Me

It’s good. There are a lot of naked people. A lot. And they do NOT pull any punches. I mean, if you’re in a relationship, you will see a part of your relationship in the characters and, I have to say, it will probably be uncomfortable. I think it’s really good that someone made a [...]

Playing catch-up

So, thanks to my temporary singularity, I have nothing to do after work, a TV all to myself, and a netflix account that I have nothing better to do than to fill up with stuff like “In the Mood for Love”, “Breathless”, and “Gilda” - stuff that me in my plural life will never have [...]

Review: Touching Evil 1

Totally good. I don’t know why it took me so long to get around to checking out Touching Evil but, dude, Robson Green is adorable. I don’t care that he always seems to play the same guy. I love that guy. That guy can be an unhinged cop with a hole in his head or [...]

Review: The New Adventures of Old Christine

So, there are many many things working against The New Adventures of Old Christine - the format is the awful sitcom formula of boring lighting, limited camera work, and laugh tracks - and I know that these things will be hard for many of my friends to overcome. I believe, however, that the cast (Julia [...]

Review: C.S.I. - Miami

I think I died a little inside when I heard my pop say the words “We’re watching a lot of CSI lately - only the Miami one, though. That’s our favorite”. The thing is that there have been or currently are cast members who I really like - Emily Proctor was awesome on the West [...]

Review: C.S.I. - New York

I knew this would happen - I would somehow get sucked into another CSI. I’m not saying it’s without flaws - Melina Kanakaredes just gets on my nerves no matter how hard I try to like her and Hill Harper is such a weird-o that I can’t decide if he’s a good actor or an [...]

Review: Psych

I have no idea why I like Psych. Maybe I LIKE formulaic. Maybe it reminds me of Monk. Maybe I just really want DulĂ© Hill to be successful because that’s what president Bartlett would have wanted. I have this sneaking suspicion that it’s because James Roday is a charmer and I’d watch anything he did. [...]

Review: Mad Men

Ok, this show is just awesome. Totally awesome. I will reiterate that I am totally biased when it comes to stuff about the 1950’s but seriously Mad Men doesn’t pull any punches and somehow manages to do it in a stylish jazzy way. I mean I LOVE how casually misogynistic everyone is. And everyone smokes [...]
