Let me preface this review by stating that Where the Wild Things Are isn’t appropriate for some children. If your child is particularly sensitive, then perhaps he or she isn’t ready for it. I took my nieces (ages 12, 7, 5) to see it and my cousin took her children (9, 6, 4), and they [...]

be my mirror, my sword & shield
I have had no desire to blog about anything going on with me lately. I’m just really not that interesting. I mean, I really am boring. Every time I think, okay, I’m going to blog about this, I get home and sit down in front of my computer and…yeah. Nothing.
What’s been happening in my life [...]

dear tuesday: i hate you
Everything was great until So You Think You Can Dance moved to its regular two-hour Tuesday performance/Wednesday results lineup (until now, it’s just been one hour on Wed.)
Even then, I could easily skip the Dancing With the Stars results show, since nothing really happens. Except that November 3 marks the much-heralded, much-anticipated premiere of V. [...]

really, i should’ve known
There are a few things I miss about Gossip Girl.
I miss the actual story arcs of Season 1. It seems the writers have exchanged the deconstruction,personal conflict and resolution that made me actually like the show for shock value and shallowness.
I miss Blair and Serena. No, not the vapid, debauched incarnations running around now, but [...]

decisions, decisions
I’m still watching too much television.
It’s gotten a lot better now that I’ve gotten rid of all but the most basic of basic cable — I get the four major networks, the CW, ion, TBS, WGN, Nickelodeon, and Bravo. (I think Bravo’s an accident, and the reception isn’t as good as the rest, although it’s [...]

the core of it all
Initially I had qualms about where Lie to Me would fall in my Monday TV lineup, the most crowded day of the week — or whether it would survive at all.
I’m a recent convert to the FOX drama starring Tim Roth in a House-like role as a difficult but brilliant psychologist who’s made quite the [...]

i want to join fringe division
I bought the Fringe Season 1 DVDs the day they came out and I’ve been rewatching them. I’d hoped to rewatch the season finale before Season 2 premiered Thursday, but I didn’t get a chance, what with moving and unpacking and organizing and normal daily routines.
Still it has been awesome to see clues early on [...]

um, new moon? yeah. holy crap.
So I was getting a bit ambivalent about New Moon. I’m tired of hearing about Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart and their torrid, star-crossed affair. You know, the one they’ve both flatly denied. Repeatedly. (And she’s been dating the same guy for, like, six or seven years.)
But no. The tabloids and the rabid Twifreaks refuse [...]
