This is the first in a series so be prepared to want to throw things and be frustrated. I hated the ending because the story takes a turn for the unusual and I had so many questions about what was going on and how Alex would make her way out of her precarious situation.

Having a 3 out of 10 day. Review: White Collar – “Ancient History”
I found it interesting that the question being asked in “Ancient History” is who can Neal trust? Neal is a (former) criminal. As Vincini stated so eloquently in The Princess Bride, “Criminals are used to having people not trust them….” Everyone on Peter’s team – including Peter – have continual doubts about Neal’s trustworthiness. The times he’s gone rogue – escaping and evading – have apparently outweighed the numerous times he’s proven himself to be part of the team. And in the black and white world of the FBI, it seems logical that Neal would be the one not to be trusted.

The Missing Locket. Review: Copper – “In the Hands of an Angry God”
Copper is an intoxicating mix of corruption, greed, racism, and murder. Smack dab in the center of this dizzying Civil War-era world is Kevin Corcoran (Tom Weston-Jones), a former boxer-turned-cop working for the Sixth Precinct in Five Points—a slummy immigrant area of 1860s New York predominantly populated by Irish and blacks.

HBO Rolls Out a New Film from The Rolling Stones
Many years ago, I remember sitting with my friends in the pouring rain at a Rolling Stones concert in Philadelphia. No way was I leaving; I paid my money and I was staying, come hell or high water. I idolized the Stones back then, and still enjoy listening to their music today. Now, on its 50th anniversary, the iconic rock band is being chronicled in a new movie, Crossfire Hurricane, debuting on HBO on November 15.

Assassinating Apples in Aruba. Review: White Collar – “Compromising Positions”
Cleverly, “Compromising Positions” sets up the anticipation of Neal (Matt Bomer) finally finding the elusive Sam (Treat Williams) and discovering more truth about his past so well that when the actual case centering on the conviction of a land developer running an environmental scam begins, it’s almost a surprise. The fact that Neal actually makes tenuous contact with Sam is told with almost B-side importance. But that’s the shrewd thing about the way White Collar is written: every detail means something.

Advance Movie Review: Lawless – Sometimes the simplest way of life gets complicated
Starring Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf, Guy Pearce, Jessica Chastain, Gary Oldman, Mia Wasikowska, and Jason Clarke – Lawless transports you to a place and time steeped heavily in tradition and old-fashioned southern values, sometimes unyielding and uncompromising just like the Bondurant brothers. If you’re looking for a good old-fashioned moonshine, shoot’em-up movie, Lawless is a step above that.
