This week, the romantic tone shifts to a more somber atmosphere as power plays takes center stage. If the premiere episode were a fairytale, then “The Price of Power” is certainly a reality check as it flashes forward to the year of Elizabeth’s coronation as queen consort. The scene is a pinnacle moment in the episode with beautiful detail to wardrobe and style. Ferguson shines as she sits upon the throne with a regal air about her. Yet for every happy moment, there is always a downer. In this case, it’s Warwick.

Intense, Powerful, Violent. Advance Review: Sons of Anarchy – “Straw”
In the Sons of Anarchy season five finale, Jax (Charlie Hunnam) emerged as the MC savior but as “J’ai Obtenu Cette” came to a close, it became apparent that this accomplishment would come at a steep price. Tara (Maggie Siff) was charged and arrested for conspiracy to commit murder, the club stands divided, and its members were left to lick their wounds no matter which side they chose. August Maks (Billy Brown) and Lee Toric (Donal Logue), two very powerful men, sought to control SAMCRO, each with a very personal agenda to exact revenge. This is exactly where “Straw” picks up, and the show returns with an intensity not seen before. To put a spin on an old adage, there is no rest for the wicked.

Young. Naïve. Infamous. Movie Review: LOVELACE (Starring Amanda Seyfried)
I cannot make claims that I know anything about Deep Throat, a 1972 film featuring real-life porn star, Linda Lovelace. I haven’t seen the film or anything else that relates to it. I went into the pre-screening for Lovelace armed with little knowledge of the film’s center of attention, Linda Lovelace, but I left with a more knowledgeable view of this woman, and how she affected a whole generation.
