On the 7th day, the CW created country boys. Not the old racist kind, but the country boys with sweet hearts, masculine stubble, and southern accents to make my heart swoon. I’ll admit, I first started watching Hart of Dixie after the end of the first season, not because I had heard from other people […]

The world of How I Met Your Mother is so bizarre its up on its own circle, hovering just below the circle of people who design Lady Gaga’s outfits. It’s one of the only shows that stay consistent, maybe not it its humour, but in its story telling ability. “The Broken Code” is a great […]

Politically charged and culturally relevant plays face a significant hurdle on the revival circuit – historical context. Popular social commentary is ever changing and playwrights that take up causes are, in part, dependent upon their audience knowing the historical and cultural backdrop for their message.

Gravity is not so much a movie as it is an experience. It’s rare that I insist on seeing a film in one of the more expensive formats. Especially if you live in a  big city, movie tickets are obscenely expensive to begin with, and once you’ve tacked on 3D and Imax you’re looking upwards […]

 

Last week, I wrote that Grey’s Anatomy was really straddling the line between primetime drama and daytime soap opera, and that description couldn’t be any more fitting than when the first victim of the day (a woman with a shattered baseball bat in her chest) tells Dr. Murphy she cheated on her husband with her […]
