Sure was good in There Will Be Blood, though.

Hilariously bad. Stupendously bad. Whenever they call Ishtar or Heaven's Gate or Gigli one of the worst ever, I keep thinking they all fail to live up to Color Of Night's wonderful badness.

A running theme of Linson's book is the search for a title. They tried around 10 different ones before deciding on The Edge.

Never looked at Baldwin the same way after reading that book. All that charm he shows on TV, people forget, that's what actors do — pretend.

Miscast. Jason Bateman should have been replaced with talented star of "Myra Breckenridge."

When you've seen a classy comedy like this, you watch something like "This Is 40" or "Identity Theft" and feel such a loss of brain cells.

When it comes to ad-libbing, everybody admires the great wits of our time like Dan Marino, Bill Cowher and Shannon Sharpe.

Yeah, the UK House of Cards trilogy was only 12 hours long … they like to keep things tight over there.

Identity Thief steals money of people who buy tickets to it.

Next week, Holmes tells the Baskervilles next door to shut that damn dog up.

Next week, Jules is sad to realize that her television show really blows.

Jamie Bamber was excellent in "Law & Order UK" and he's just fine in this. Like with Hugh Laurie, it takes a little time to become accustomed to him speaking with an American accent. Splendid actor, though.

A lot of comments for a show nobody watched.

AV Club critics competing to be first to award an F-minus.

Breathtakingly beautiful film. Every scene's a portrait, much like, as you say, Barry Lyndon.

The Mentalist, Jr. is getting fed up with Thomas wanting to play footman footsies with him.

CBS might get fined for Baltimore quarterback Flacco's accidental dropping of F bomb on TV. Network won't get fined, of course, for "Elementary" scene 5 minutes later that begins with Sherlock Holmes in bondage with two hookers, followed by a serial killer slaughtering five doctors and nurses.

Quinn's character begins to develop at last; he's too good an actor to just stand around asking Holmes what he thinks. It makes a great series even better.

And she can beat up anybody of any size. Because she was really, really well-trained.
