Its a solid spin to all of this though and makes thisBosom Buddieskind of ridiculousness less so. What perhaps isnt needed here is the musical number that Steve and Hailey break into over their identity crises....

Examining the Christopher Nolan Backlash

In case you missed it, the Oscars were this past weekend andBirdmanwas the big winner. In such an environment, there is a distinction between the showmen and the artists.

Girls: Close-Up Review

A well-constructed episode of Girls perfectly follows up the previous installment. Here’s our review… Its also thematically about rebuilding, which makes sense as the last episode was about collapse and acceptance. The reason its such a good episode on its own is how neatly divided up all the storylines are. I dont think badly of Marnie for this. It also demonstrates the show hasnt forgotten who she is.

He wants to take the big job from Mob boss Carl Grissom and his woman, too....
