I Need a Day. Retrospective: Suits – “The Other Time”
“The Other Time” is mainly a reference to the episode “Asterisk” when Donna (Sarah Rafferty) told Harvey (Gabriel Macht), “You’ve been over to my place exactly twice: the God awful dinner party and the other time.” But that isn’t the only flashback scene; there are many that mirror events both past and current.

Another One Bites the Dust. Get It? Review: True Blood – “Radioactive”
The recycled set, time jump to months later, and complete disregard for the essence of these characters set me on the road to Never-Againville. You fooled me once, writers, but not again.

More Power, More Problems. Review: The White Queen – “The Price of Power”
This week, the romantic tone shifts to a more somber atmosphere as power plays takes center stage. If the premiere episode were a fairytale, then “The Price of Power” is certainly a reality check as it flashes forward to the year of Elizabeth’s coronation as queen consort. The scene is a pinnacle moment in the episode with beautiful detail to wardrobe and style. Ferguson shines as she sits upon the throne with a regal air about her. Yet for every happy moment, there is always a downer. In this case, it’s Warwick.

Intense, Powerful, Violent. Advance Review: Sons of Anarchy – “Straw”
In the Sons of Anarchy season five finale, Jax (Charlie Hunnam) emerged as the MC savior but as “J’ai Obtenu Cette” came to a close, it became apparent that this accomplishment would come at a steep price. Tara (Maggie Siff) was charged and arrested for conspiracy to commit murder, the club stands divided, and its members were left to lick their wounds no matter which side they chose. August Maks (Billy Brown) and Lee Toric (Donal Logue), two very powerful men, sought to control SAMCRO, each with a very personal agenda to exact revenge. This is exactly where “Straw” picks up, and the show returns with an intensity not seen before. To put a spin on an old adage, there is no rest for the wicked.

Poignant, Visceral, and Surprisingly Funny. Movie Review: Lee Daniels’ THE BUTLER
This is an amazing, Oscar® caliber film sure to garner much higher praise than I could ever write in this review. I absolutely love this film and highly recommend you see it. It’s poignant, visceral, moving, inspiring, and at times, very funny. From the cinematography, acting, set designs, locations, writing, and directing, this film is outstanding. I could feel the heat of the sun as young Cecil Gaines (Michael Rainey, Jr.) picks cotton in the fields with his father Earl (David Banner). I could feel the hatred as patrons of Woolworth spit on and shove activists lobbying to get equal service at the counter. I could feel the passion as Louis (David Oyelowo), Cecil’s (Forest Whitaker) eldest son, goes against his father to fight for what he believes as he joins the Black Panther Party. And I could feel the pain of Cecil mourning the death of one our nation’s most iconic presidents.
