Review: Once Upon A Time….Enchanting and Intriguing (@OnceABC)
I wasn’t sure what to expect after seeing a few of the billboards and the trailers for the show, but overall I enjoyed it immensely. I’m a huge fan of fairytales like Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, etc. I love the fantastical elements of being transported to a faraway world of enchanted forests full of magic and wonder. ABC spares no expense in providing the special effects to give us the allure of the darkness spreading over Snow White and Prince Charming’s happily ever after.

Review: Hung “F. Me Mr. Drecker” or “Let’s Not Go To Jail”
I laugh a lot during this episode, but find it misses the mark when it comes to Tanya. She’s struggling and I feel horrible for her. This is not the Tanya I’ve come to know and love.

There’s more than one way to skin a cat. Review: Homeland – “Semper I”
Is it possible CIA Agent Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) is wrong about Sgt. Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis)? Maybe he wasn’t turned by Al Qaeda as she suspects. After all, it’s been a month since Carrie began watching Brody’s every move, and she still hasn’t found anything to connect him to terrorist Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban). He does appear to be having hallucinations though—he sees the college professor, Raqim Faisel (Omid Abtahi), who bought the home directly in the path of the airport in last week’s “Clean Skin” in his bathroom mirror.

Review: The Walking Dead “Bloodletting” (A Doc, Nurse and EMT. No Baker or Candlestick Maker?)
Death seems to be on everyone’s minds. Their own mortality, the mortality of the others around them—talk about a somber episode!

Advance Review: Starz’ Boss – “Pilot”
The ”Pilot” introduces characters and dynamics gradually, but just like its key events unfold, they are revealed swiftly. To those paying attention to details, the characters’ motives are transparent but the Mayor’s inner thoughts remain elusive—a clever string-along ploy. This is a well-thought out series with solid performances. With efficient editing to supports its storytelling, Boss doesn’t shy away from the nature of politics while avoiding text-book style clichés.

Review: The Vampire Diaries – “Smells Like Teen Spirit” (It’s Like Yankee Candle Up in Here!)
The ghost story arc is becoming more interesting. There’s a lot being played with there—the ability for a ghost to become a permanent fixture in the real world—and I’d love to know if anymore dead vampires will be popping up.

Big Boobs, A Girlfriend Contract and a Shooting. Review: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – “The Storm of the Century”
I enjoyed “The Storm of the Century.” It made me laugh in all the right places—some wrong ones too, if truth be told. I can’t wait to see what the gang is up to in their next adventure.

Movie Review: MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE (A wanna-be pyschological thriller)
Being pegged as a taut psychological thriller, Martha Marcy May Marlene does have moments of suspense and psychological intrigue but I won’t go so far as to say it’s a thriller. It is dramatic, for certain, but I definitely was not sitting on pins and needles throughout the film, which to me, is a hallmark of a good thriller. I will say Elizabeth (Lizzie) Olsen’s performance is truly outstanding considering her lack of experience in any mainstream films.

Review: American Horror Story “Murder House” (…like lambs to the slaughter)
“Murder House” is where the Harmons live, but it’s not where they want to be. While Vivien desperately tries to get the house back on the market as quickly as possible, they have no choice but to stay. Of course, Violet threatening to run away if they sell the house throws a monkey-wrench in the situation. She claims the house has “soul” but I think she means the trapped souls (like Moira)! There has been so much death and macabre deeds done in the house that if it does have a soul, it’s in pain – suffering an unimaginable, unending turmoil.

#SOA Review: Sons of Anarchy “Fruit for the Crows” – Death threats, tempers flaring, and “strange fruit hanging” in trees
“Fruit for the Crows” is intense, and wrought with some raw and heated emotions. Full of action, drama, intensity, and plot twists which may lead to something much more deadly for SAMCRO. Alavarez (Emilio Rivera) takes a bullet while Gemma (Katey Sagal) finds the death-threat in Tara’s (Maggie Siff) car. Bobby (Mark Boone Junior) challenges Clay and calls a vote for a new president and Juice (Theo Rossi) is at this rope’s end…literally.

Two Pilots, a Carousel and a Gun-Wielding Blonde. Review: Bored to Death – “Gumball”
Schwartzman plays a wonderful Peter Gunn—perfectly imitating the style of Craig Stevens, the actor who portrayed the famous detective in the Blake Edwards series of the same name, Peter Gunn, from 1958-1961. Schwartzman can play cool, suave and sophisticated with the best of them. And like Peter Gunn, “Gumball” is the perfect whodunit with its dialogue, twists and turns, and music. I can’t remember the last time I had so much fun watching a show.

Review: #Hung “Mr. Drecker or Ease Up on the Whup-Ass”
Another solid showing by the writers of Hung. They keep the show fresh, hip and in the know. I always look forward to what’s next in Ray’s life, and yes, Tanya too.
