#UncleBuck When I think of Uncle Buck as portrayed by John Candy in the 1989 comedy Uncle Buck, many words come to mind to describe the character — heavyset, man-child, cigar smoking, trench coat wearing slacker.

Penny Dreadful –”No Beast So Fierce” Review. Formidable Match
With only two episodes remaining until the season three finale, the season is flying by too quickly for my liking. So much is embedded in each episode; it’s daunting as a fan to piece each of the story arcs together. Although more attention is paid to Vanessa (Eva Green) and Ethan (Josh Hartnett), there are some strange things lurking within the other plot points, particularly in Dorian (Reeve Carney) and Lily’s (Billie Piper) twisted tale. As “No Beast So Fierce” progresses, so do the various storylines. If you are at all squeamish, be warned, there is much bloodshed in “No Beast So Fierce.”

Penny Dreadful – “This World Is Our Hell” Review. Embrace Your Sins.
As last week’s episode “A Blade of Grass,” kept us cooped up in a padded room, “The World Is Our Hell,” gives us reprieve in the form of the wide open space of the New Mexico Territory. With room to breathe, it’s safe to say New Mexico also has its drawbacks. Water is scarce and Ethan (Josh Hartnett) has a long way to go before he reaches his father’s ranch. Other dangers lurk nearby as Inspector Rusk (Douglas Hodge) continues his relentless pursuit of Ethan but the real threat rides side-by-side with him. Hecate (Sarah Greene) desperately wants to be with Ethan and I fear she may have finally convinced him that the darkness holds peace, at least for the moment.
