AV Club, please get someone reviewing The Strain who actually has an appreciation for campy genre fare. While Season 1 had its ups and downs, overall it was a lot of fun. Silly? Yes. Insane? Often. But the show has done a lot of things well and has me eager for Season 2. In particular, the finale was suitably big and

You guys are all wrong. This show is insane, but in a good way. And the more insane it gets, the more entertaining it gets. The last four episodes or so have been pure comic book awesome.

Prediction/hope: Tate Donovan has actually been poisoning the
Prez this whole time and conspiring with doctors to make Heller think he
is losing his mind to Alzheimers - eventually, Heller finds out about
his devious son-in-law, stops taking his secretly-poison pills, and goes
Rolling Thunder on Jimmy Cooper's

Thanks for all the coverage of the show and the films. I remember the second movie came out the weekend of Comic-Con, and I dragged my friends to see it in San Diego on the Sunday afternoon before we skipped town. You would think that there in the mecca of geekiness there would be a packed house, but it felt like the

It's funny - I used to watch the show with my grandma as well when it first started on Friday nights. Here's to grandmas with great taste in TV.

So I've got to say, saw this last night, and the reviewer is on crack. The movie is freaking epic, and has some of the most incredible action scenes ever seen on film. It outdoes the original in the action department, but also adds a sprawling crime-saga storyline that takes this in a different direction than the

Serious question: why is Stallone nominated for Worst Actor? As far as I can tell he was good in all three movies listed. Were they all-time classics? No. But I had fun with Bullet to the Head, Escape Plan, and Grudge Match. Lame pick for a Razzie, in my opinion.

No way was The Goldbergs the worst pilot of the fall. It was a pretty solid pilot that showed a lot of potential in its characters. And the show kept getting better and better, to the point where I'd now call it one of TV's best sitcoms.

I'd say that there were blockbusters this year easily worse … Ender's Game, for one.World War Z for another. And worse than all of them - Now You See Me.

I actually wouldn't call either of those films bad either. Both were fun flicks, with White House Down in particular being vintage Roland Emmerich - cheesy as all hell, yet also incredibly entertaining.

There is NO WAY that Man of Steel is even close to one of the year's worst movies. As others have expressed here, a lot of people loved the film. That's not to say it's perfect or close to it, but it got a lot right and had some fantastic action and performances. But anyways, the reasoning for inclusion here is pretty

I just dropped in to see if the guy who posted on all Marvel-related articles as Stan Lee is still around? That guy ruled.

Just came back from seeing the film, and I've got to say I completely disagree with this review. I didn't find the film condescending at all, and personally I rank it as Payne's best film to date. For me, this was "A"-range, easily. I think it was really less about the setting and more about fathers and sons and the

More than anything, I remember just being completely shocked when I first saw this episode and got to the reveal of the limbless mother emerging from wherever the Peacock brothers had been hiding her. I mean, holy crap, I had never seen anything like that, ever, let alone on primetime network TV. It's definitely one

I think you and others keep falling into the trap of trying to label Walter and other characters on Breaking Bad as good or evil, hero or villain. In fact, I think the entire point of the show is that everyone is those things in degrees. No matter how many vile things Walter did, there are still elements of his

Another favorite, from From Dusk 'Til Dawn, just because it makes no real sense, but is said with such conviction by George Clooney: "I may be a bastard, but I'm not a *fucking* bastard."

Glengary Glenross has many great uses of "fuck," but my favorite is always, towards the end, when Al Pacino bellows: "Fuck 'The Machine? No, fuck YOU!".

This was my seventh Comic-Con, and I agree that the desire to wait in line for Hall H in particular really evaporated this year. It hit me on Friday. Friends got in line at 5 am for Hall H, and I met them in line around 9 am and brought them breakfast for their trouble. I've never not gotten into Hall H before if

I think that the KFC scene in Killer Joe does fit in well with the narrative of the film. Essentially, the whole movie is a gradually-escalating theater of the absurd, and that is the scene where things just explode and come to a head. The whole absurdity is that everyone in the main family (except Dotty) think of

Who Killed Harlowe Thrombey is also my pick, because of that legendary last page that HAD 100 CHOICES. My god.
