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 →

This article was originally published on 12ft.dwende.com on 12 August 2011. Sometimes you don’t need a guy in a hockey mask or the ghost of a murderer to haunt your dreams. Sometimes things like a mask of human skin and a chainsaw or an endless knowledge of slasher film trivia are just overkill. Sometimes all … Continue reading →

Angels in America (2003) – For a while, the premium cable network Home Box Office had the slogan “It’s not TV, it’s HBO.” This mainly reflected the artistically challenging shows they aired like The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Deadwood, and The Wire (of course they also ran Sex and the City, so I guess it … Continue reading →

The Visitor (2009) — The movie ended about an hour ago and I like it more and more the more I think about it. From There’s Something About Mary to Intolerable Cruelty to Six Feet Under, Richard Jenkins has always been an engaging actor and it’s about damn time he got a lead role. He … Continue reading →
