Another quote from a scary fairy tale that would have been better suited to the season one finale “Woman in Black.” The terrible witch, or in this case, a Hexenbiest, is the darkly troubled Adalind (Claire Coffee) who has returned to Portland seeking the mysterious “key” Nick’s (David Giuntoli) aunt gave him before she died.

The Battle Scene Saved This One… Movie Review: “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2”
Should you rush out to see this film? Not unless you’re an ultimate Twihard because it kind of disappoints. There are a few laughs, surprises and tear-jerker moments to appease everyone’s tastes. But with someone like me, who’s a huge fan of the books and first film, I found it disappointing that the saga has lost some of its magic.

An Intimate Look at the Art of Scamming. Review: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – “Charlie’s Mom has Cancer”
From the title of this week’s episode of Sunny, “Charlie’s Mom Has Cancer,” I knew this was going to be very irreverent, and man, was I right! There are scams galore, and not one, but two, twists at the end of the episode I never saw coming. As Dee (Kaitlin Olson), Mac (Rob McElhenney) and Charlie (Charlie Day) struggle with their faith, Frank (Danny DeVito) loses his memory, and Dennis (Glenn Howerton) realizes he has no feelings. Add in Diddy (as in Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs) stretching his acting chops, and you have one funny episode.

Who Has to do the Dishes? Review: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – “The Gang Gets Analyzed”
Sunny does a great job of delving deep into its archives, bringing up old storylines like Dee wanting to be an actress, Dennis being an Ivy League snob and God’s gift to women, and Charlie screaming to get his point across. But that’s what Sunny is good at—using a tried and true formula that obviously works since the show’s been around for eight seasons, with a ninth already scheduled. Hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

A Common Thread. Review: American Horror Story: Asylum, S2 Ep 4 – “I Am Anne Frank: Pt. 1”
I’d like to think we’ve seen the full brunt of his diabolism, but apparently, there are even more layers of evil. What he’s doing to Shelley (Chloe Sevigny) is beyond reprehensible. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for his so-called experiments; it’s simply about doling out torture, and if indeed he was a Nazi war criminal, then he’s just plain sadistic, unlike Adolf Eichmann, the subject of Hannah Arendt’s “Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil.”
