Well thank God someone was actually eliminated because I’m seriously out of “four” puns for this season. That said, Thursday’s results show wasn’t without plenty of suspense as Ryan withheld any results until the very end of the telecast. I, personally, was on pins and needles because I had a very clear Top 3 that […]

Idol Top 4 – Part 2: This One’s Four The Girls
Well, I have to say that keeping these for girls around for another night of performances made for an interesting show. The content of the judging was slightly better than last week but their antics had me cringing all night. From Mariah and Nicki’s bickering to Randy’s pissing contest with guest mentor (and hopefully future […]
The Magic Letters of Primetime TV: AMC
The cable TV channel AMC has, in the last 5 years, become one of the most viewed and talked about programmers in the television industry. Don’t believe me? Let’s take a look at the three most popular shows that are currently being produced by AMC, also known as Summer, Fall, and Spring.
Dial H For Hitchcock: An In-Depth Discussion About ‘The Master of Suspense’
Alfred Hitchcock, known by many as the “Master of Suspense” is one of the most influential filmmakers of the 21st century. He has a reputation for high-art filmmaking with an enormous popularity. To this day his films continue to capture and fascinate audiences of all ages and though this is not common for a lot […]
Reasons Why You Should Be Following “The Following”
As many TV watchers and film critics have proclaimed, a new show on FOX has made quite an impression. The Following, starring well known and talented movie actor Kevin Bacon, has been quite a hit for a variety of reasons.
Idol Top 4 Results – Twist and Out
As I’ve said in previous articles, the results shows with the save/non-eliminations are always the most anti-climatic because you can generally see them coming from a mile away. Subtlety was never really a part of the Idol Machine’s vocabulary. Still, Thursday’s results show was far from unimportant. As the show chugs like an unstoppable steam […]
Idol Top 4 Performances – One-Hit or Wonder?
I didn’t know what to expect coming into this week. I had high expectations because this is, without a doubt, one of the most talented Top 4’s we’ve had in many seasons. What I didn’t expect was the frustrating telecast that we actually ended up getting. It seemed none of the judges were hearing what […]
Idol Top 5 Results – Five For Fighting
I’m going to pull a Quentin Tarantino and spoil the ending on this one: Once again, we went into Thursday’s result show expecting the judges to swoop in dramatically and use their save to keep our squad of five talented ladies vying for the title in tact, but once again, they declined to do so. […]
The Best Show You’re Not Watching: “Bomb Girls”
When World War II is depicted in the media, we normally hear stories of concentration camps or see images of soldiers fighting overseas in Europe. It’s less common to see war stories told of those left behind as those brave men went off to war – stories of the women who, for the first time […]
Idol Top 5 Performances: Binders Full of Women
Multiple times this evening the judges declared these five girls “the best top five ever”. First of all, only Randy is qualified to say that and even that’s questionable. But I’ve been here since day one, so I’ll be the judge of that. Our two themes tonight were “Songs From The Year You Were Born” […]
Idol Top 6 Results: Save On Standby
Going into Thursday, I think 90% of the Idolverse expected the judges to have to use their one and only save to maintain the status quo of the five talented ladies this season. It was clear, after Lazaro’s Top 3 placement the week before, that America just wasn’t buying into the “all-girl top five!” plot […]
Ben Affleck: The Renaissance Filmmaker
Every film is its own kind of expedition, and the way you move in that journey depends entirely on the director. Directing isn’t easy but reliance of the script, it should be able to challenge the directors and allow them to break new ground and reinvent their style. As a cinephile, I feel successful directors […]
Idol Top 6 Performances – Which Girl’s Getting The Save?
I figured I’d just cut to the chase and put it right in the title: we all know that this show is just leading up to the big save that’s going to be used come Thursday night when, inevitably, one of these five talented ladies (channeling my inner Tyra Banks here…) gets the boot over Lazaro. […]
