TRUE BLOOD episode eight
I am beginning to doubt that the makers of True Blood take the show seriously anymore. After watching the mind-numbing cheesefest of the Lafayette/Arlene/Terry storyline — complete with a glowing ghost effect at the end that would have been embarrassing … Continue reading
HBO’s TOO BIG TO FAIL
I was finally able to catch up with director Curtis Hanson’s Too Big To Fail, an HBO production of the epic financial collapse of 2008, based on the book of the same name by Andrew Ross Sorkin. It’s a great … Continue reading
American Horror Story on FX
I know very little about this, but I’ve liked the teasers I’ve seen so far, and like the trailer embedded below, so I’ll be checking it out when it launches this fall (at least for the first few episodes). Enjoy.
TRUE BLOOD, episodes six and seven
Alan Ball, the creator of the HBO series, had this to say about the infamous shower scene between Eric and Sookie. “There will be a moment in the show when Sookie and Eric will be in a shower. It may … Continue reading

TRUE BLOOD episode three
After the greatness that was Game of Thrones, True Blood seems almost quaint, and more than a little silly. It’s always been that way, which is part of it’s charm, but the damn show really needs to focus. The first … Continue reading
How the GAME OF THRONES title sequence was made
I’ve already talked about how much I love the title sequence for HBO’s Game of Thrones. It’s a great piece of mini-cinema/CGI that helps viewers related to where the events of each episode are occurring in Martin’s sprawling world or … Continue reading
GAME OF THRONES episode nine
Good guys don’t always win. That’s the hard and cruel lesson in this show. It’s been in many of the episodes so far, but it was brought home with a final fall of a very large sword at the close … Continue reading
