For Your Renting Pleasure
This week we've got one good and a whole bunch of bad (at least in my opinion), with Dorian Gray, The Joneses, The Killers, and Lie to Me: Season 1. Rent: Lie to Me: Season One Now he may be no House, but Cal Lightman is another great character on TV that is easy to love for the reasons the people in →
TV Review: Mad Men 4.7: The Suitcase
We have hit bottom. At least I really, really hope we have. But in hitting Don Draper’s rock bottom, wait; we were given the best episode of Mad Men yet. In what starts off to seemingly becoming a night out with the boys of SCDP quickly dissolves into a two character dance as Don and Peggy work through some shit together. →
For Your Renting Pleasure
That's right, my write-up for rentals has changed yet again. This time around (and hopefully I will stick to it this time) I will write up little blurbs about the movies I have seen in the past week on Fridays, giving you suggestions for what to pick up and what to avoid when considering what to rent that weekend. On →
TV Review: Mad Men 4.4: The Rejected
Longing was the word of the night in the world of Mad Men, except if your name was Pete Campbell. From Don longing to get off the phone with Lucky Strike in the opening scene, Allison looking through that two way mirror, or Peggy’s entire arc for the episode that simplest of human emotions was everywhere in The Rejected. →
TV Review: Mad Men 4.3: The Good News
I think a better title for this episode would have been, “Don and Lane’s Excellent New Years Adventure.” That segment last night was hands down the funniest seven minutes or so of Mad Men in this viewer’s opinion and was a brilliant addition to an already terrific season of Mad Men. But we will get to that in a bit as →
TV Review: Mad Men 4.2: Christmas Comes But Once a Year
Its Christmas time at SCDP and the office party keeps getting smaller. Having added no new accounts in the last month, the penny pinching is getting tighter as Lane has reduced the party to “a bottle of gin and a log of Velveeta.” Don is also not enjoying his first Christmas apart from the family and you can tell he →
TV Review: Mad Men 4.1: Public Relations (Season Premiere)
“Who is Don Draper?” A man who won’t meddle with the meddlers apparently, as the Season 4 premiere of Mad Men showed us. Picking up almost a year after the coup of Sterling Cooper formed the new Sterling Cooper Draper & Price, in swanky new window filled, colorful couches, and conference table less offices, the new team is barely keeping their →
SYTYCD – Season 7 – Top 8 Perform
They're changing it up a bit this week by letting the dancers dance two routines. Once with an All-Star they haven't danced with yet, and another time with one of their competitors. Sounds like fun SYTYCD fans! Well I don't know if you can call this Top 8 because Alex won't be performing on the show tonight... He got injured →
SYTYCD – Season 7 – Top 9 Results
Sorry for the late post. I can almost never watch it live and I decided to go out last night instead of watching this episode. To my disappointment, Robert ended up being in the bottom three again. Along with him were Melinda and Billy. Who's leaving this week? Read on. The group opening dance was a contemporary choreographed by Jamel Gaines →
SYTYCD – Season 7 – Top 9 Perform
Only 3 girls and 6 guys left. During tonight's show, they'll also be dancing a solo along with their choreographed routines. They're all amazing in their own field, no doubt about that, but how do they do outside of it? Read on my friend! Adéchiké ft. Lauren (Dave Scott) - As the song says, Hot and Fun! It seems like a →
A Delayed Response – Nine; The Young Victoria; Avatar: The Last Airbender (TV Series); Party Down
Hey guys! Lauren here with the news that I am going to be changing things up a bit on my end. The majority of the time I try to write a review for any movie that I am watching for the first time, but as I have been going on that has been getting a little taxing. I love movies, →
SYTYCD – Season 7 – Top 10 Results
Well I couldn't have been more wrong. Cristina, Melinda, and Robert ended up being the bottom three. The show started off with an excellent routine by Sonya Tayeh. I don't know about you guys, but she's definitely my favorite choreographer on the show now. There's just a quality to her routines that make them very sexy in my opinion. The music, →
SYTYCD – Season 7 – Top 10 Perform
Well I just finished voting 100 times for Robert, so I guess I can write my review on tonight's performances now. (I also realize the picture above is the Top 11, but it's very hard to find new pictures in time to write this) Paso Doble - Cristina ft. Pasha. (Jean-Marc Généreux) I can't say I really understand this style of dance, →
Lost: “The End” Series Finale Thoughts and Theories
So Lost has finally come to an end, how did the finale make you feel? From the voices on the internet it sounds like some people are quite divided on the episode and even dogging the series as a whole. Well fear not, I am not here to try and convince you otherwise but if I happen to pull you →
Glee – Dream On
Neil Patrick Harris guest-stars as Bryan Ryan, Will's high school rival on this episode of Glee. To be honest, I have everything against Neil Patrick Harris, but that still doesn't stop Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse) from directing a great episode of Glee. Read on! Bryan Ryan (Harris), an old Glee member, is now returning to McKinley High as →

Recap and Ramblings: Happy Town Series Premiere – “In this Home on Ice”
The premiere of Happy Town starts the series off with a bang… Well, not really a bang. There was a gun involved, but it didn’t go off… Okay, let’s start this again: The premiere of Happy Town starts the series off on a really interesting foot, and though this mystery show didn't lean as far towards the horror genre as I →
Glee – Home
Kristin Chenoweth reprises her role as April in another episode of Glee. This week's episode was viewed by 12.59m people! Not as good as last week, which is pretty sad considering how amazing this episode turned out to be. Mercedes is forced by Sue Sylvester to lose 10lbs for an upcoming magazine article about the Cheerios. She tries eating healthy at →
Glee – The Power of Madonna
Glee decided to pay tribute to Madonna in this episode, and did a pretty kick ass job at it! First off, I wanted to say this episode rendered a total of 12.98m viewers last night! After its midseason hiatus last week, it received 13.66m. I'm so happy so see that this show is doing so well! Sue wants to pay →

Glee returns with Hell-O
The Glee club returns after winning Sectionals only to find themselves treated as badly as before. Rachel is now dating Finn, Sue is coaching once again, and Mr. Schu starts seeing Emma. Let me comment on the plot first, and then the musical numbers. I love Glee for everything it is, but I absolutely hate their character development, or the lack →
