ROOM
Their world is Room. Ma and Jack live their lives in this windowless prison, pushing through the difficult nights with their captor and passing time with each other during the days. Light shines through a skylight above, a constant reminder that the world doesn’t end with this claustrophobic space, that there’s so

I completely agree, the black hair here is most certainly better than the blond in A Most Violent Year.

"gives Jessica Chastain the best role I've ever seen her in"

BRIDGE OF SPIES
The opening to Bridge of Spies consists of the film’s most riveting scenes. Largely wordless and scoreless, they introduce us to Soviet spy Rudolf Abel as he goes about his secret nickel-opening, coded message-receiving ways. He’s immediately an intriguing presence, Mark Rylance utilizing a bit of

STEVE JOBS
The first act of Steve Jobs is an extremely entertaining half hour, with rapid-fire dialogue throwing us straight into the backstage flurry prior to Jobs’s 1984 Macintosh launch. It’s a great way to set up the movie’s tone and characters and conflicts, and its extremely kinetic nature brings Aaron Sorkin and

"You're being naive and stupid, something you never were before."

Yes. Good point.

THE MARTIAN

The award Game of Thrones really, really deserved was directing for "Hardhome", yet it was inexplicably not even nominated.

SICARIO

Yeah, I did like the pilot, but the show really became something special over the course of the season. "Finish Your Milk" was definitely one of my favorite episodes of TV last year.

"Will, why did we fall off the cliff?"
"Honestly, Hannibal, I parked down here and I really didn't want to have to walk down."

That was an incredible ending to an incredible show. The Hannibal-Will relationship was one of the best things I've seen on television, and the way the season tied in Dolarhyde thematically was really nicely done. I like the recurring theme of empathy throughout the series, from Will in the killers' minds at the

It was honestly really adorable and romantic how Hannibal and Will finally teamed up to brutally stab a guy to death.

I think for me, it's just that Logan and Veronica together makes more sense considering their personalities and pasts. I don't think their relationship can sustain itself either—it seems like they were on again off again a million times in season three—but they'll always have a deeper understanding of why the other

Veronica Mars Review
“A long time ago, we used to be friends.”

I will always love his "Anthropomorphic. All yours, big guy."

Veronica Mars "The Bitch Is Back" Review (3x20)
“Veronica Mars, she’s a marshmallow.”

I have not! I definitely will be watching it soon, though. I might also check out the season 4 pitch and Play It Again, Dick.

Veronica Mars Season 3…
Episode 17: “Debasement Tapes”
Seeing Wallace and Veronica hanging out again reminds me of how much I’ve missed the two together this season; he has shown up here and there, but he hasn’t really felt like the character he was in earlier seasons (his mechanical engineer plot seems to have come and
