I'd say The Wire is more like a drama version of Arrested Development: it's very intricately plotted, but the basic themes are really obvious and in your face, as you say there's not that much going on under the surface to think about. I guess Community would be more like the comedy equivalent of The Sopranos… there…

I enjoy that show as a guilty pleasure… but yeah I have no idea what it's doing on that list. At least Girls isn't on there.

How on earth does Seinfeld owe anything to The Simpsons? It premiered before the proper Simpsons series, and they both came into their own at around the same time. I really don't see any indication that the two were copying off of one another at all.

I'm really happy to see Six Feet Under so high on here, that show has become weirdly underrated by critics. Deadwood, Twin Peaks, and Buffy are shamefully low on the list though, while Friday Night Lights is way too high. Katims is definitely a good writer but his dialogue is nothing special and the actors play an…

Oddly, Eisenberg's role in Now You See Me was actually a lot more minor than it appeared from the trailers: Mark Ruffalo and Melanie Laurent turned out to be the real leads. It was a fun movie, though I do really wish the Four Horsemen had been more fleshed out. I actually would be willing to see a sequel to that one,…

They had better give him at least one scene with Karen Gillan then, Who fans would explode.

@Scrawler2:disqus I really hope he retains Rash on the writing staff next season, I thought that was actually a really strong episode that at least would have landed in the mid-tier level of Community episodes, which I can't say for any other S4 episodes.

You really have to wonder if this whole season four thing was some Machiavellian long term scheme from Sony and NBC to get fans to love them just for giving something back that they took away, and thus selling more DVDs and such than they would have otherwise.

Basically he had to make it look like he was doing his best to capture them so he wouldn't get removed from the case, while actually bungling the investigation at every turn. I kind of liked the twist as a commentary on how incompetent law enforcement tends to be in these kinds of movies.

With Lee Pace, Karen Gillan, and Michael Rooker as the villains, maybe they should just drop the Guardians of the Galaxy and make the whole movie about them.

Actually I'd be pretty content with that. His voicework in Hellboy 2 was fantastic.

This whole review was pretty unintelligible and poorly written. That last paragraph is such a mess: each sentence has a different premise, none of them really follow up on each other, and there are several random tangents dropped in between parentheses. And it's all capped off by a completely random and unexplained…

What about ones that you're able via a bluray player, Roku, etc.? I was really surprised when I discovered I could stream stuff from Crackle through my bluray player.

I loved the first one, but was bitterly disappointed by the second. It's a total mess, doesn't utilize any of the characters very well, and somehow squanders almost it's entire running time on some pretty dull storylines. Plus it ends on a confusing and never resolved cliffhanger… I'd really recommend just quitting…

Yeah I figured it out about a third of the way into the movie, mostly as a process of elimination. Melanie Laurent and Morgan Freeman were obviously misdirects, and Michael Caine was working directly with them (though I briefly thought it was him until I realized it was supposed to be a mystery). I think I actually…

You really thought that was anticlimactic? Blackwater was the only great episode of the series.

You really need to watch Durka Returns as well @jerodast:disqus since it introduces a new character.

Hannibal (season 1)
Breaking Bad (season 5, part 1)
Mad Men (season 6)
The Americans (season 1)
American Horror Story (season 2)
The Vampire Diaries (season 4)

I never saw the second one but the first Weekend at Bernie's is hilarious in a dumb movie kind of way. It's pretty much a one joke comedy, but that joke is pretty darn good and the movie doesn't shy away from how dark it can go. It's not great but it's a fun way to kill an afternoon if it pops up on tv.

My problem with Part 2 is that it's not just bad horror but also a vicious, anti-gay screed, at the end of which the hero is "cured" of his gayness. Ugh, that movie made me want to take a shower.
