A determined and angry Opie (Ryan Hurst) is on the hunt for his father’s killer. Surprisingly, he exercises significant self-restraint by waiting until the next day to go around asking questions, but his passive/aggressive behavior reveals his deep resentment and distrust for the people from the only world he’s known.

Review: Enlightened – Season 1, Episode 7, “Lonely Ghosts” – “Nobody Likes to Sleep Alone”
Amy’s (Laura Dern) days of work-less coasting have come to an end. The success of the productivity tracking software her boss Dougie (Timm Sharp) developed has brought him a vice-presidential promotion by Abaddonn industries– which, by the way, Abaddonn is another word for hell. Being on the big-wig radar forces Dougie to give Amy the ultimatum of being fired if she doesn’t complete the data entry project she’s been neglecting for weeks by the end of the day.

A Party, A Mysterious Diplomat and an Important Reveal. Review: Homeland – “Achilles Heel”
“I’m through talking to Abu Nazir. Tell him it’s over.” ~ Brody (Damian Lewis). What! Are you kidding me? Once again, we’re on another roller coaster ride. In last week’s installment, “The Weekend,” we were led to believe Brody wasn’t the flipped POW. This week, we learn his Marine buddy, Tom Walker (Chris Chalk), is the one who was turned. But then, we’re given a one-two punch with the above statement. What does it all mean? Were both Brody and Walker turned? Or is there something else going on with Brody? After all, he did profess his love for Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban).

Movie Review: Butter (Jennifer Garner, Ty Burrell, Olivia Wilde) Who knew butter carving was so cutthroat?
‘Butter’ is a refreshingly realistic comedy about the way some people think of others, the highly competitive world of butter carving, and life in general. ‘Butter’ is a slightly dark, sarcastic, sexually charged, and hysterically funny comedy focusing on one woman’s desperate desire to stay on top of the social ladder and a child’s struggle to fit into a town where color stands out.

Review: #Bones “The Prince in the Plastic” (Murder, Vintage Dolls, & Chinese Instructions)
A young woman, Debbie Cortez (uncredited), is found Saran® wrapped and her remains are liquefied. While I don’t recommend eating any pudding or mushy foods while watching the first ten minutes of the episode, it’s quite unique how the writers come up with varying ways of decomposing human remains and how best to work with them in the lab. The fact that they use a soup ladle to scoop up the human goo (if you will) is both stomach- churning as it is fascinating.

TV News: E! Entertainment Special: Kelly Osbourne
I became interested in Kelly Osbourne, she of famous parents Ozzy and Sharon, during her turn on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. She fascinated me with her charm, quick wit and shining personality. Then she hooked up with Joan Rivers on E!’s Fashion Police, a show I dearly love, not only for the fashion, but the comedy as well. That shows never ceases to make me laugh. Now, Kelly has agreed to give her fans a look inside her personal life, along with her parents, brother Jack, and a close friend. The special airs Sunday, November 20 at 11:00 pm on E!.

Book Review: “Sex on the Moon” by Ben Mezrich
I have mixed emotions about Sex on the Moon. While the title is somewhat misleading (there’s no literal sex on the moon), the heist it refers to doesn’t seem like much of a heist. It reads like a mind-game turned (potential and eventual) crime with a mastermind who’s clearly not much of a mastermind at all.

A Clean Bar, A Funny Waitress and A Handsome Man. Review: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – “How Mac Got Fat”
The opening shot of Mac (Rob McElhenney) sitting in a confessional perfectly sets the tone for this week’s installment of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. He’s a slouch in a t-shirt that doesn’t quite fit, showing off his fat belly. Not a pretty sight! When Father Cullen (W. Morgan Sheppard) asks what his confession is, Mac responds, “I’m fat.”

Review: Sons of Anarchy – Season 4, Episode 11 “Call of Duty” – When a Junkie Whore, an Irish Pizza Order and Skeletons in a Closet Collide
The rising tension between Gemma (Katey Sagal), Wayne (Dayton Callie) and Clay (Ron Perlman) help skeletons find their way out of the closet. When Wayne reveals to Opie (Ryan Hurst) that Clay killed his father Pinney (William Lucking), urging him to ‘off’ Clay before he kills someone else he loves, Gemma’s assertion that Clay will die in the hands of a Son takes on a prophetic undertone. Will it happen because of Gemma’s infinite wisdom or due to her ability to influence others?

Romance, Infidelity and A Dead Guy Who’s Not Dead. Review: Homeland – “The Weekend”
Wow! Wow! Wow! Did anyone expect that ending? “The Weekend” answers a lot of questions, provokes even more unanswered questions, and gives us wonderful character studies of our three main protagonists. Never did I expect Walker to be the bad guy! Did you? He’s dead, right? At least Brody thinks he is. Let’s talk about how it all goes down first.
