The Wire (2002-2008) – Okay, so I’ve tried to do this TV Blog a couple times… When I started up the blog I was writing about every episode of most shows I watched. It was a pain in the ass and was sapping the enjoyment I get out of television. I decided to abandon it … Continue reading →

Men in Black 3 (2012) – Sequels are not necessarily a case of diminishing returns. While there is definitely plenty of hollow retreads like The Hangover Part II, there also flicks like The Godfather Part II, Aliens, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and [technically] The Silence of the Lambs. Loosely based on a comic by Lowell … Continue reading →

Brief Interviews with Hideous Men (2009) – I have never actually read any of David Foster Wallace’s work. I have tried to start Infinite Jest a couple times, but things keep coming up and I can’t quite devote the full measure of focus needed for tackling such a dense book. I will do it someday, … Continue reading →

Boardwalk Empire – “A Dangerous Maid” So I didn’t do any blogging last week so I’m kind of doing double-duty this week to catch up. So first I’m going over last week’s episode before moving on to this week’s. So apparently a little thing like pregnancy will not keep clothes on Lucy Danziger! Between this … Continue reading →

Enlightened – “Pilot” I know this aired last week, but I really fell behind on the TV blogging. I have been a big fan of HBO as a network. I have liked every show I have seen on their network: from The Larry Sanders Show to Boardwalk Empire, they’ve got a pretty damn impressive run … Continue reading →

Boardwalk Empire – “21” Boardwalk Empire was neck-in-neck last year with The Walking Dead for my favorite new show of 2010. The show started strong and slowly built to awesomeness. The second season begins on a mellower note (save for one burst of machine gun violence and a raid) but teases the approaching storm. The … Continue reading →

Machete (2010) — SECOND REVIEW [ON BLUE-RAY] Well I’ve already reviewed this film at length so, although I may repeat many points from the original review, I have decided to write his one as an itemized list of awesome things about this movie… [many of these are SPOILERS] 1.

So I figured if I’m going to blogging about television, I should probably weigh in on the Emmys. I realized this though as the Emmys were already in progress and I had been drinking (I started to sober up somewhere around the Drama categories). These are my meandering real-time thoughts as I watched the broadcast. … Continue reading →
