I provide testosterone to the site. You won’t be reading about how nice a actress looks in a dress or how much of a hunk Matt Bomer is in my reviews. I describe colors using words like brown, not taupe. My twitter name is @staffaroadtrip because I love road trips and have done two different 48-state road trips since 2008. My favorite show is White Collar.

Resurrection Season Finale – “Torn Apart” Review. Crescent Moon 5

Rachael (Kathleen Munroe) stands over her corpse at the morgue along with a bewildered Sheriff Langston (Matt Craven), Agent Bellamy (Omar Epps), and Pastor Tom (Mark Hildreth). It’s an erie scene that I wish had been played out more because we are not really told how much, if anything, Rachael remembers.

Fargo Season Premiere – “The Crocodile’s Dilemma” Review. You Betcha.

Fargo Season Premiere - “The Crocodile’s Dilemma” Review. You Betcha. 17

It has been years since I saw the film Fargo and the only things I really remember about it is a scene that took place at the parking ramp of the church I attended — the infamous wood chipper scene — and, of course, the so-called Minnesota accents. When FX sent me screeners of the first four episodes of Fargo, I decided to re-watch the film first to refresh my memory. The series isn’t a remake or a reboot of the movie, and it’s not necessary to see the movie to follow the series.
