The last thing I saw her in was The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. More recently, she was on four episodes of Terriers.

California Split seems like it should be a no-brainer, but I've learned not to take anything for granted with these Watch This pieces.

So… I take it there was a show called Breaking Bad that aired its finale this weekend or something. Can't imagine how I never heard about it.

The Movie of the Week.

What about The Covenant? I've heard that's incredibly homoerotic.

Sonia Saraiya isn't the only one who isn't interested in what's happening on Hostages. After that snoozer of a pilot, I'm out.
