American Dad: Manhattan Magical Mystery Tour Review

The way you write dialogue reminds people that its hard to write dialogue. This sends Francine (under her clever pseudonym, F.R. Ancine) and the rest of the Smiths to New York City. Right from the start this episode puts a strong foot forward and proves itself. The whole thing is a love letter to the form. Roger tries to even spin the Wuhl story into the larger mystery as all of this beautifully tangles together....

Bloodline: Part 3 Review

Family is supposed to stand for something. Here’s our review of Bloodline’s third episode… Jeffrey Kluger Dannys return has upset the balance in the family and those nearby. Dannys a barometer of what has happened in his absence. His siblings and parents are not without their faults, troubles, and setbacks. Perhaps it was best he left town and lived his life away from scrutiny. Perfect families dont exist, and at this point in the story most are keeping secrets from each other....

Community: Basic Crisis Room Decorum Review

Shenanigans ensue in the latest episode of Community. Here is our review! Im starting to believe in Dan Harmon again, at least a little bit anyway. He claimed at one point that Season 6 would feel like Season 1. In fact, it isnt attempting to be anything except a good sitcom episode. But does it feel like a Season 1 episode? Well, come on now, lets be reasonable. The core premises here are more over the top than anything Season 1 wouldve pulled....

Diamonds Are Forever Was a Step Backwards for the James Bond Franchise

Sean Connery returns to play James Bond in Diamonds Are Forever. It is not 007’s finest outing. A strange offering this one, sandwiched between two considerably more significant films. Undoubtedly a lightweight outing, despite featuring a heavyweight star in more ways than one. The cartoonish tone is sharpened by lashings of violence and a surprisingly high body count. A moribund Connery and garish Las Vegas add to the sense of a series going to seed....
