“Holidazed and Confused” is a rather tame episode, at least by The Real Housewives of New Jersey standard. In fact, there’s no real drama at all; something I haven’t seen in a very long time!

Review: #FallingSkies, Season 1, Ep. 5 “Silent Kill” (Operation – Rescue Ben)
When I watch Falling Skies, I’ve noticed little things left behind that showcase the Americans’ naivety along with their patriotism. The JFK High School walls have painted murals of the country’s founding fathers, and on the school’s bulletin board there are magazine clippings of articles about the aliens coming to Earth. The show continues to intrigue me. While I get answers to some of my questions, it seems I have more questions after learning the answers to others. I suppose that’s a good thing, right?

Review: True Blood, S4, Ep 39 “If You Love Me, Why Am I Dyin'”
WTF writers? The horrible way in which this book adaptation is being handled irritates me. They’ve ruined a good thing without probable cause. It wouldn’t have been difficult to stick with the fantastic story already laid out for this season.

Movie Review: “Last Night” Disappoints
“Last Night” is more of a thinking man’s movie. Still, it goes nowhere and lacks in many aspects. For a movie based on sex, seduction and infidelity, there are few sexual scenes. And even those are mediocre and uneventful. I expected more. All in all, “Last Night” disappoints. As a movie with entertainment value, it falls flat. At least for me.

Book Review: “House of Sand and Fog” by Andre Dubus III
I’m torn between really loving and simply liking House of Sand and Fog because it has me thinking about so many different things.

Review: #WilfredFX , Season 1, Ep. 3 “Fear” (Transsexual Porn-Fest, Tampon Strings, and the Poop-Burglar)
We finally get to meet the “asshole” neighbor, Spencer (Ethan Suplee). After Wilfred admits he “definitely” (and intentionally) left Ryan’s wallet at the scene of their crime at Spencer’s, including stealing primo marijuana known as Purple Thunder Paranoia and defecating in Spencer’s boots, Ryan gets a tad bit nervous when Spencer comes banging on his door. Instead of owning up to the crime as Wilfred instructs, Ryan deflects the accusation by saying he too was burglarized and the thief “took a dump” on his Blu-Ray™ player.

News: TNT Gives “Falling Skies” A Second Season
I knew it wouldn’t be long before Falling Skies would get the green light for a second season, and I wasn’t wrong. With only four episodes in, TNT has already renewed this epic show. For a series with such superb writing, that is so compelling, thought provoking, gripping, action-packed, and just good drama from the people who know drama, I doubt anyone is surprised by this news.

Audio Interview and Set Visit: My Adventure with the Fabulous “Sunny” Boys
On June 23, 2011, I was fortunate enough to visit the set of FX’s original comedy series “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” on behalf of YourEntertainmentCorner.com (YEC). Needless to say, this being my first ever set visit, I was nervous. I had no idea of what to expect, but Judy Manning, my friend, and partner here at YEC, had wonderful words of wisdom for me. “Your nerves will dissipate once you get there, but the best advice I can give you is to wear comfortable shoes.” I am so glad I listened to her!

Review: Franklin & Bash, S1, E6 – “Big Fish”
“Franklin & Bash is brilliant.” And it gets even more brilliant each week. To say nothing of Jason Alexander, this week’s guest star in “Big Fish”—because he’s brilliant too.

Multiple Emmy® Winner James Spader Joins Cast of NBC’s ‘The Office’ as New CEO of Dunder Mifflin Sabre
“James will reprise his role as Robert California, this uber-salesman that has a power to convince and manipulate, like a high-class weirdo Jedi warrior,” said Paul Lieberstein, one of the series’ executive producers and a series regular. “He’ll have been hired over the summer as the new manager, but within hours, got himself promoted. Within days, he took over the company. James has an energy that is completely his own, and ‘The Office’ has no tools for dealing with this guy. We’re thrilled he’s joining our cast.”

Review: The Big C, Season 2, Ep 202 “Musical Chairs”
“Cupcakes for Cathy.” It’s the thought that counts right? Aside from the condescending tone of the students who’ve taken time to bake cupcakes to raise money for their beloved teacher, Cathy Jamison (Laura Linney), it seems like a nice gesture. So why does it feel so contrite? The positive of the whole situation is the return of smart-ass Andrea (Gabourey Sidibe). While the friendship she and Cathy have is somewhat unconventional, it’s also mutually beneficial.

Review: #FallingSkies, Season 1, Ep 4 “Grace”
While I really do like Falling Skies, I have many questions. Why are the aliens taking adolescent kids and not younger children or even adults? Is it their pubescent hormonal imbalance that perhaps allows the spinal harnesses to work more efficiently? Although I can do without some of the cheesy moments, I think they are somewhat realistic. In times of crisis we all have those Kodak™ moments like at the end of “Grace” when everyone revels in the simplicity of fresh baked bread – a farewell gift from Pope.

Review: Leverage, S4, E2 – “The 10 Li’l Grifters Job”
This week’s Leverage pays homage to murder mysteries, detectives, and Timothy Hutton’s father, Jim Hutton, and it may be my favorite episode ever. Flashbacks and period costumes are added to the action and humor the show brings every week. The stakes are high as the team must change cons in the middle of the game to keep Nate from going to prison again.

Review: True Blood, S4, E2 – “You Smell Like Dinner”
Although I said I wouldn’t compare the show to the books, I have to mention when the writers throw us diehard book fans a bone. Eric’s notes scattered throughout Sookie’s house, the repairs he’s made—though not done in a way she appreciates—and the cubby.
