Novella? Daphne Du Maurier's short story? It's OK, a sort of "The Commies are coming!" parable, as I recall. The birds are "from the East" or some twaddle. I'd rank Hitchcock's a greater work of art.

At 58 I think I have finally reached the age where I just see young people (under 30) as sort of adorable woodland creatures that are cute to look at but you wouldn't want them in your house. With exceptions! Richie is a genuinely sweet character and doesn't need to waste time on Patrick, who is completely…

He wants to "give" his music to the people? Noble and generous! And a fair price. Now he just has to start making music.

Just watched last night (Monday). As I grew more and more unengaged I started to think about this first half of the season. I concluded the producers needed to keep the show built around the prison set for several more episodes (budget reasons), and then they needed a way to make the gang move on (creative stasis).…

I enjoy Hannibal as well. However that comparison underlines my problem with the reviewer and the other Blacklist bashers on here - because Hannibal made no sense most of the time either. Just the mere fact that in that particular geographical area there are so many baroque serial murderers - geez. We suspend our…

Zombie physiology sure confuses me. They are decomposing and falling apart, and can be killed with just a good poke to the head, even have their heads pulled apart by hand. But when they bite someone, those jaws lock down like steel clamps and without any gnawing they are tearing out sinew and flesh.

F minus review. AV Club needs to lighten up or drop the show from regular reviews.

Moved this comment from the review page because it's a "spoiler" -

Saw the film and enjoyed it, awesome visuals. As I left I thought, "Well a very slight story but so beautifully made."

I was satisfied with the last episode. It's the totality of the series that will make BB immortal.

Mr. Magorium concerns a dying man who’s looking to leave his business to a younger protégé—in this case, a giant toy store

I guess she's gone from TruTV's World's Dumbest, which is probably happy for her. I'll miss her there, tho. For me, World's Dumbest is a more enjoyable clip show than Tosh.0. I'm not gonna slam Tosh, but when World's Dumbest had its real comedians hitting, it could make my sides hurt. And Peretti contributed some…

Costello Shmostello. As mentioned elsewhere, the lead vocal on "Tempted" is by Paul Carrack, and I maintain that is why this was such a huge success.  To have a voice like that in the band and rarely use it, until Carrack went off to try a solo career - that's my conjecture as to why Squeeze was not able to build on…

The great thing about the show opening having Skyler pack the hideous clown thing after selling it on E Bay is the callback to the economic basis of Walt's decision. After having lost his chance at the great American success story, he became a high school science teacher. And Gilligan seems to know how in the US we…

Ike and Bobby Lee did some hilarious stuff on MadTV. I remember a piece where they were trying to teach Jordan Peele to drive, and one where Ike and Bobby went to a theater where Bobby wound up naked, which happened way too often. Just really silly, fun stuff. I didn't read this word for word, but I didn't see a…

This show is seriously over-rated. It deserves as much hate at this point as the second season of The Killing. To take such an interesting premise/setting and turn it into a far-fetched serial murder plot based on revenge against the man who had an affair with your dead wife - it's just worn out my patience. I…

I avoided this show for a long time, because something about Scott Aukerman struck me as - well, unfunny and uninteresting.  Somehow or other I caught a clip that made me laugh so I decided to give it a chance. IFC runs a lot of reruns so I caught up on a few and there have been some very funny episodes.

I once read or heard Elmer Bernstein say in an interview that when he got a chance to view the film he was to score, he was somewhat alarmed that there was almost no action until the very end. He said something like, "It just seemed like endless interior scenes with dialogue and then shots of the 7 riding horses very…

I enjoy the show for the actors and the the setting/cinematography.  The episodic murder stories are getting out of hand. There should be national media there reporting on this small Western community with a per capita murder rate to rival Chicago. I wish the show could find a way to have some episodes without a…
