The Interview Movie Review. Disappointing but Patriotic

<i> The Interview</i> Movie Review. Disappointing but Patriotic 3

Let’s face it, deep down we all want to see The Interview. Even my parents want to watch it. It’s not a common occurrence to have the President of the United States talking fervently about a film due to the controversy surrounding the subject matter. With Sony Pictures Studios getting hacked by North Korea over The Interview, it seems there are political ramifications involved.

<i>Homeland</i> - "Long Time Coming" Retrospective. Back on U.S. Soil.. 10

As the final episode of season four of Homeland, “Long Time Coming” is a nice tribute to James Rebhorn, although it’s rather disappointing both as a season finale and as a setup for next season. After a season filled with suspense, riveting scenes, and edge-of-your-seat moments, I was bored by the way the writers chose to end the various story lines

<i>The Affair</i> - "110" Retrospective. A Perfect Setup. 11

Kudos to Treem for penning such an in-depth look at what happens when a spouse strays. Throw in a good murder mystery and you have an Emmy worthy show, in my opinion. The acting has been superb all season long; the cinematography and direction have been outstanding; and the dialogue so intense and captivating, it has been difficult to tear my eyes from the TV screen for more than a minute. The same can be said for The Affair’s season finale. All we can do now is wait for next year, something that won’t be easy for me. How about you?

I always find the strength of an episode rests in how long it leaves an impression. It’s been more than 24 hours since I saw “Orphans,” and I can still feel the ache in my chest from how much it caught me off guard with its brilliant writing and amazing performances; not to mention some of the most heartbreaking, poignant, and memorable moments you’ll see in television this year.

Rule 47: Take Advantage of “Me” Time” is another hilarious episode of GG2D. Although, Noxon certainly is an expert at knowing exactly when and how to utilize the episode’s more serious moments to her advantage. I can’t wait to see where GG2D takes us next. Will Jake and Becca stay together? Will Abby conquer the topic of “menopause?”

<i>Homeland</i> – “Krieg Nicht Lieb” Retrospective. Revenge. 22

As penultimate episodes go, “Krieg Nicht Lieb” is a tad disappointing. While it does have some exciting, suspenseful moments, it’s short—like last week’s episode—to the tune of lasting only 45 minutes. Also, it’s a filler episode at best, even with its compelling moments. “Krieg Nicht Lieb” leaves us with too many questions unanswered, most importantly how will the Haqqani story line end?

<i>The Affair</i> – “109” Retrospective. Trouble in Paradise. 23

“109” is one of the best penultimate episodes I’ve seen in quite a while. The acting is exceptional, the writing is outstanding, and the directing spot on, to say nothing of how dazzling the cinematography is. The word “compelling” doesn’t even begin to describe this episode. I couldn’t tear my eyes from the screen for one single, solitary moment.

<i>Grimm</i> – “Chupacabra” Recap. Urban Legends vs. Truth. 24

When a local Portland doctor, Diego Hoyos (Max Arciniega) returns from a long trip in the Dominican Republic, strange things begin to happen to him that he can’t explain. When one of his neighbors is found exsanguinated, a witness seems to believe it’s the work of “El Chupacabra.” An urban legend, the “Chupacabra” is believed to look like a goat that sucks the blood of its victims. As fall finales go, “Chupacabra” is fantastic! It is suspenseful, dramatic, and filled with surprises that will surely tide you over until Grimm returns in January 2015.
