Taylor and Mira are both playing a game. I don’t know who to believe anymore but I’m carrying some doubts about who is telling the truth.

Two Pilots, a Carousel and a Gun-Wielding Blonde. Review: Bored to Death – “Gumball”
Schwartzman plays a wonderful Peter Gunn—perfectly imitating the style of Craig Stevens, the actor who portrayed the famous detective in the Blake Edwards series of the same name, Peter Gunn, from 1958-1961. Schwartzman can play cool, suave and sophisticated with the best of them. And like Peter Gunn, “Gumball” is the perfect whodunit with its dialogue, twists and turns, and music. I can’t remember the last time I had so much fun watching a show.

Review: #Hung “Mr. Drecker or Ease Up on the Whup-Ass”
Another solid showing by the writers of Hung. They keep the show fresh, hip and in the know. I always look forward to what’s next in Ray’s life, and yes, Tanya too.

Review: The Walking Dead “What Lies Ahead” (The Most Persistent Zombies I’ve Ever Seen)
Superb acting, top-notch writing and special effects that astound—just a few of the reasons this show is unlike anything else on television now.

Movie Review: ‘Father of Invention’ Starring Kevin Spacey & Craig Robinson (Fabricating and “Tap That Ass”)
Father of Invention is charming, entertaining, and absolutely hilarious! Spacey does a brilliant job of playing a down trodden, yet arrogant man. Surprised at how much I laughed throughout the film. Robinson is fantastic as Jerry! The song Robinson and Madsen perform at the end titled “Tap That Ass” still has me laughing my ass off.

Murder, ghosts, and things that go bump in the night! REVIEW: American Horror Story “Home Invasion” #ahsfx
Murder, ghosts, and things that go bump in the night. “Home Invasion” isn’t for the squeamish or faint of heart. ‘American Horror Story’ continues to challenge conventional storytelling in television. It’s an awesome, dark, edgy, creepy, decadent, and deeply engrossing series! I cannot take my eyes off the screen and I turn up the volume to hear every creak on the wooden floor!

Russian Roulette; Charming, CA ain’t Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. REVIEW: Sons of Anarchy “With an X” #SAMCRO #SOAFX
YES! Now we’re getting back to why I fell in love with Sons of Anarchy – cutthroat, ruthless backstabbing and downright devious underhanded deeds. This is a show about the seedy lives of biker gangs/clubs not Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. I don’t give a rat’s ass about their softer side. Russian Roulette with the Prospects; Daddy Tig plays the sucker; and Clay orders a hit on the good doctor. “With an X” heats things up!

Nightmares, Nazir and a Naked Women. Review: Homeland – “Grace”
Some shows with a lot of intrigue lose their way. I’m happy to say so far, Homeland isn’t one of them. As “Grace” opens, Sgt. Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) is having an extremely difficult time dealing with his traumatic memories, having nightmare after nightmare. CIA Agent Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) is completely wrapped up with proving her theory that Brody was turned while in captivity, to the point where she’s becoming obsessive about it. She may be right, though, when she learns from an undercover operative that terrorist Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban) has resurfaced after years of lying low.

Eating brains, watching telenovelas, and human cheese-flavored snacks? Review: #Supernatural “The Girl Next Door”
Who knew Dean and Bobby liked telenovelas? And I’m not sure what grosses me out more – the “kitsunai” who eat human brains to survive or a Leviathan (Sean Owen Roberts) who like people smothered in cheese sauce? “Do you know what I find…plain ole people taste fine but everything is better with cheese.”

What Happens When You Follow a Mysterious Blonde. Advance Review: Bored to Death – “The Blonde in the Woods”
The season premiere of “Bored to Death” is funny and thoroughly enjoyable. The dialogue alone is enough to make me laugh, but the best part of the show is the fantastic chemistry among the three main stars. They play off each other beautifully. If you’re a fan of film noir, you won’t want to miss the new season of Bored to Death.

A Dysfunctional Woman, A Disapproving Mother & a Druggie Ex-Husband. Advance Review: HBO’s “#Enlightened” Series Premiere
Why should you watch Enlightened? Well, it’s nothing like some of the other series based on flawed women…There is plenty of sharp, intuitive, witty writing, fantastic acting and storylines that will bring you back week after week as you wait to see what Amy gets herself into next.

Cooking the Books and A Baby Funeral. Review: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – “Sweet Dee Gets Audited”
I am so disappointed. After laughing uproariously during the first three episodes of Sunny’s Season 7, I barely squeaked out a ‘Hah’ while watching “Sweet Dee Gets Audited.” Instead of the usual sharp, witty writing, there is only idiotic ridiculousness.

“Excuse me, you are going to die in there.” Review: American Horror Story “Pilot” – I LOVE #AHSFX
“What are you so afraid of?” This recurring question is asked throughout the pilot episode and begs to be answered honestly…if you dare. American Horror Story is a new kind of unconventional drama series that is entertainingly disturbing. Dark and edgy, this is a drama for those unafraid to explore their inner deviants *wicked grin*.

Review: New Girl – “Wedding” (Chicken Dance Anyone?)
Nick grows up a bit in “Wedding” and we have to wait until next week to find out how his new stance in life will pan out. I think he can succeed at being single—truly single.

Review: Sons of Anarchy “Brick” (Sex, Lies, and Cocaine) #SOAFX
Is Juice (Theo Rossi) out of his damn mind? He knows what happens to ‘rats’ and if he gets caught talking to Sheriff Roosevelt (Rockmond Dunbar), it ain’t gonna be pretty. Juice is so scared of what the MC will do if they find out he’s black; he’s willing to jeopardize his life by stealing a brick of cocaine from the cartel’s shipment to appease Roosevelt.

Review: Terra Nova – “Instinct” (Who Let The Birds Out?)
I wasn’t bored during “Instinct” but I wasn’t wowed. I don’t want to say Terra Nova is losing its steam, yet I don’t feel the same about it as I did during the series premiere.

An Undercover Bunny, a False Relationship and More Threats. Review: The Playboy Club – “A Matter of Simple Duplicity”
Carol-Lynne (Laura Benati) hires a new bunny over Billy’s (David Krumholz) objections; Janie (Jenna Dewan Tatum) and Max (Wes Ramsey) fight over the lie she’s been keeping; Alice’s (Leah Renee Cudmore) husband Sean (Sean Maher) takes it upon himself to set Nick (Eddie Cibrian) up in an effort to become Nick’s campaign manager; and Johnny Bianchi (Troy Garity) tells Maureen (Amber Heard) “You’re the last person to see my father alive. One way or the other, Maureen, you’re gonna tell me what you know.” While this sounds like an interesting episode of The Playboy Club, it leaves a lot to be desired.

Review: Hung, Season 3 Premiere – “Don’t Give Up Detroit or Hung Like a Horse”
Expect the usual comedy, full frontal female nudity and awesome Tanya moments only Hung can bring. We’re off to a great start this season and I’m looking forward to what’s to come.

Leviathans = supernaturally strong, nasty bad things that eat people Review: #Supernatural “Hello, Cruel World”
Tons of dark humor and symbolisms abound but the main one is associating pain with being in reality. Can Dean convince Sam he’s no longer in the cage? Grab a fluffy pillow and keep a happy feel-good movie at the ready because even for a person like me who has a deep penchant for the supernatural and paranormal, “Hello, Cruel World” is filled with darkness. (Squeezes my fluffy pillow).

Revenge is a dish best served cold…as death Review: @Syfy #Haven “Sins of the Father”
“Sins of the Father” is a great season finale. There are vengeful ghosts causing mayhem and murder via the hands of the living; Rev. Driscoll (Stephen McHattie) returns as a ghost – to finish what he started; the mystery about Audrey’s (Emily Rose) identity and how Dave (John Dunsworth) and Vince (Richard Donat) are involved in the cover up; Duke (Eric Balfour) realizing exactly what being a “troubled” slayer really entails; and of course – romance.

Review: The Vampire Diaries – “The End of the Affair” (What Was Up With Stefan’s Hair?)
“The End of the Affair” is a solid episode, especially with the flashbacks to the ‘20s. Along with new discoveries and a little suspense, there’s a new vampire (an original at that) in town.

What the hell is SAMCRO doing? Review: Sons of Anarchy #SOAFX “Una Venta”
What the hell is going on with SAMCRO this season? Gemma’s getting chummy with Sheriff Roosevelt’s wife Rita; a SAMCRO charter in Arizona is cooking up and dealing meth; both Bobby and Piney are becoming increasingly disgruntled with the way Clay is running the club; and AUSA Linc Potter is stirring up a hornet’s nest by re-opening an old murder case.

Review: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – “Frank Reynolds’ Little Beauties” (Diddling, Perverts and a Beauty Pageant)
What will they think of next? Beauty pageants, that’s what. But not your ordinary pageant, oh no. Frank (Danny DeVito) has gotten himself in quite a mess after meeting a guy “in a titty bar” and becoming involved in a children’s pageant when the guy is arrested for “diddling” one of the contestants. At first, the gang doesn’t know kids are involved, so they’re quite disappointed when two little girls waltz into Paddy’s parading around in bathing suits, rather than the bombshells they were expecting. As usual, hilarity ensues.

“…a bitterly beautiful explosive end.” Movie Review: Melancholia (A @MagnoliaPics Release)
A hauntingly beautiful and tragic tale. The artistic cinematography is breathtaking. The visuals are absolutely stunning…it’s an astounding celestial dream! The very onset of the film depicts everything in slow motion as the planet Melancholia draws closer on its collision course with Earth. As the story told in two parts continues in a gradual progression, the contrast of the two sisters and their reactions to impending death comes to a bitterly beautiful explosive end.

Review: New Girl, S1, E2 – “Kryptonite” (Who’s the New Guy?)
Um… I had such high hopes for New Girl. I miss Damon Wayans Jr. more than I thought I would. “Kryptonite” does absolutely nothing for me. I’ve watched the episode three times and I don’t think I laughed once.
