A guide to avoiding Piers Morgan in modern motion pictures

Unfortunately, Piers Morgan has started popping up in a few movies now. Morgan plays the role here as presenter of the much-missed CNN show,Piers Morgan Tonight.

Sleepy Hollow: Kali Yuga Review

But should we care? Our review… Tonight,Sleepy Hollowaired the fourteenth episode of its 17-episode season. But perhaps more importantly is the news of changes that occurred off-screen this week. Generally speaking, these are all code words for dumbing it down. I am not against a makeover. In fact, it might be a saving grace. Hes a good ol boy barfly variation on Indiana Jones. Obviously, season two is building to Henrys return and Katrinas (hopefully final) break with Ichabod....

Downton Abbey: Season 5, Episode 4 Review

Oh and Shrimpy is visiting. Because why the hell not. I love the nervous ninnys that these strong Crawley women turn men into. I would watch seven seasons of The Bachelorette: Downton Abbey.

Constantine: Quid Pro Quo Review

A Breaking Bad alum turns up in the latest episode of Constantine. Here’s our review… We knew sooner or later that Chass daughter would find trouble. A foe played by a Breaking Bad alum no less!

Helix: Reunion Review

Helix ramps up the creepy as it tries to tie up loose ends from season one. The flash drive alone proves the immortals must be tied into Brother Michaels group somehow. The cover-up and removal of the undesired infected is intriguing if frustratingly vague. But I guess you gotta have some mystery, right?
