Okay America, So You Think You Can Dance is coming to the end very soon. Will your Favorite Dancer be the last one standing? The show was only an hour long this week.

EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Charlie Jade Headwriter Alex Epstein
It’s no mystery that I’m a huge Charlie Jade fan. I don’t write those insanely long and detailed recaps on a show relegated to the 2am time slot for fame and fortune, that’s for sure. What is a little surprising is how I came to know and love the show. Continue →
The Middleman recap: "The Cursed Tuba Contingency"
Oom-pah oom-pah-pah, friends! Polka wouldn’t be polka without it. Neither would pep bands. In fact, I’d wager that of all the music in the world, a good .001% would be horrible without the basso profundo of the mighty tuba. What kind of tuba you say? Tenor? Four-valve? The tuba kind. Continue →
Charlie Jade recap: "Devotion"
I have mixed feelings about this episode. It’s the best of the season so far, I think. A compelling case can be made for “And Not a Drop to Drink”, as it opens the kimono on inter-dimensional travel, 01′s unique abilities, and the importance of water to the scheme of things. But tonight…it’s something else. Continue →
Movie Review: You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008) by Dave
Zohan Dvir (Adam Sandler) is seemingly the best assassin/anti-terrorist fighter in his country, but he wants to leave that life and become a hair dresser. He decides to move to America and become just that and along the way meets some terrorists who vow to kill him. Also, he struggles to get a job as a hair dresser and when he finally does he makes the failing salon he works for become the most popular place in town. The popularity does bring unwanted attention to himself and his employer though. Continue →
Mad Men review: "For Those Who Think Young"
Fourteen months, thousands of cigarettes, and one beard later, we return to the offices of Sterling-Cooper and its denizens. In the first season of Mad Men, creator Matthew Weiner braced his agency against the rising tide of youth culture. But even against the backdrop of JFK’s generational campaign, 1960 was still dominated by the ways and mores of an earlier time. The few cracks that did show were personal rather than cultural.

So You Think You Can Dance 2008: Top 8 RESULTS SHOW Recap
I’m sorry America, I missed the first five minutes of the show and didn’t get the explanation as to why Cat was dressed for a Halloween party at a frat. Perhaps someone can explain it to me. I was able to catch Nigel’s lecture on voting. America needs to get educated on the issues and vote! Anyway, let’s get to the fun part of the show! Continue →
Burn Notice Recap: "Trust Me"
Whooo damn, that was fun! Mike asked me to talk to y’all about tonight’s episode while he’s off eatin’ some chicken tikka with his new buddy Wasim, so let me tell you a little about myself. Name’s Davis Cullen. Daddy made his money in oil, but ain’t no way I’m livin’ like that. Up at four, in bed by nine. No, siree. I told him, “I don’t want your life” right before I left Texas. Lucky daddy’s always had a soft spot for me so I got a nice fat trust fund. Continue →
So You Think You Can Dance 2008: Top 8 PERFORMANCE SHOW Recap
Only two more weeks until we find out who is America’s Favorite Dancer! I know, I know, the anticipation is killing me too… On to tonight’s show! The format is the same as last week’s show. Four couples are picked at random, each couple dances two routines, and each dancer performs a solo. America votes and the girl and guy with the lowest number of votes gets booted off. Continue →
Charlie Jade recap: "Diamonds"
Surprise…Charlie Jade is not a force of nature. Neither is he a man with no name. He’s flesh and blood, and filled with contradictions. Like anyone, Charlie has a past that informs who and why he is and this week we get a peak into it. Continue →
