Steve James’ documentary about Roger Ebert- filmed in the last few weeks of his life and release after his death- moved me more than any other movie in 2014 so far. The scenes shot in the hospital are harrowing, the unbelievable strength of Roger’s wife Chaz is inspiring, and the film’s dedication to portraying the […]
This season Survivor is starting to lose my interest a bit. I mentioned weeks ago that it seemed like the casting was just way off, and unfortunately it continues to disappoint with the exception of two people: Josh and Jeremy (also Natalie, who I still love for her personality alone).

I don’t want to spoil the journey I […]

The two NBC action-dramas from super-producer Dick Wolf are linked so closely that to use the usual expression that they “exist in the same universe” is like saying that spaghetti and meatballs are both foods. PD began a season […]
While Part I of Death Comes to Pemberley was a suspenseful thriller that had characters who were not necessarily defined, Sunday’s finale had the opposite problem. It delved into many of its characters, given them some more dimension, but the crime portion of the show fell short. The result is an enjoyable, if uneven series. […]
