Not a film I've seen or had even heard about beyond being vaguely aware it exists, but you certainly sold me on it.

That's a fair take, I guess I'm just giving my own interpretation of things. Hanna may well have earned a small-town reputation, but Trey is a misogynist creep and a liar and him having raped Hanna would give him his motive to interfere with people's perceptions of the whole event. I certainly think that Trey's…

I have to pick at this review in a couple of places. First off that was the senator Foulkes's mistress from the diner, not his daughter (does he have one? I would hope she'd be a little more patient). Second I'm pretty sure George's testimony was that he personally witnessed Daniel rape Hanna, which the DNA evidence…

Apart from being one person, Steve Coogan's whole ancestry is Irish, but I guess that doesn't fall under the short checklist of stereotypes that Americans are inclined to hold in their head about any given foreign people.

He's got a persistent rakish charm but I would say there's still a lot of distinction between his performances in, like, Animal Kingdom and Place Beyond The Pines.

I heard that line pushed here and there but the development announcement is one he just ploughed through flatly, whereas the stuff where he looks mildly startled at the verbose garbage spilling out of his mouth as if he's got a very specific form of Tourette's related to droning quizzical aphorisms happens mainly when…

Red Riding was already heavily derivative of James Ellroy's LA noir writings, though, including the wings thing, which is from LA Confidential (its serial killer plot thread didn't make the film). A lot of Ellroy is also being pressed into service this season.

He's actually one of the few casting decisions I'm fully on board with alongside W. Earl Brown (RIP). Like. They actually get this is an absurdly overwrought hard-boiled detective story and have some fun with it. How Vaughn cannot recognise most of his lines as intentionally humorous I have no idea.

The raid team is 10 cops and detectives and they all die except for the protagonists. 2 uniforms and W. Earl Brown at the front, 2 uniforms sent to watch the back and shown dead as the SUV pulls away, 2 detectives at the bus standoff. Basically more cops alone die in that sequence than anyone seemed to die in the S1…

Vaughn is one of the most egregrious pieces of miscasting HBO has ever done, certainly for a lead role. There's zero tweak of the irony or wit or self-reflection that would actually sell the bulk of his dialogue; he looks like he's concentrating what little energy he has in making it sound like he's heard the words…

Well, yes, given the lines were spoken by people of colour. Conversely, I'm assuming Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's doesn't count.

Again, though, as much as sadness is an inevitable element of the human condition and prison is a highly likely environment to induce it, if the most active thing you can stand to do is swipe a bunch of pills and find a quiet corner to swallow them in, that's surely distinct from the healthy grief or discontent most…

You feel like the previous comedy animation from the people who made Rick & Morty is not credibly related to Rick & Morty?

I enjoy Aleida as a well-acted character with boldly antiheroine-type qualities but I really do not see the positive traits or the stab at personal reformation you're seeing. Like. Were you with us for the summer camp scene when Aleida claws Daya's hand from hers and yells that this is supposed to be her vacation from…

I'm sorry but the distinction you've made regarding mental illness doesn't exist. There may be degrees of depression, but Soso seems deeply unhappy the vast majority of the time, and is almost totally detached from the things she used to enjoy. Just because she has an understandable catalyst for how she's feeling…

This show's cast retention rates in general are abysmal. Community is the only other show I know with a comparable problem, and at least they're able to joke about it. I feel like only Rosa and V got proper sendoffs (Larry's exit was welcome but still about a full season too late).

Look at the awful opinion you have

I mean, maybe, but the bureaucratic staff of the White House are surely the most high-profile bureaucratic staff in the world, especially given they include the president's campaign manager, Chief of Staff, Director of Communications, Press Secretary, etc, and they obviously start off thinking they can get away clean.…

I don't think it's really possible to plead the fifth and have any future in American politics.
