"Of all the leading men Woody Allen has ever cajoled into basically doing
a bad Woody Allen impersonation, Eisenberg may be the only one who’s
preserved his own distinctive personality in the bargain."

Except that Streep does disappear for a large part of the movie. I get the point that you're making, but at a time when the line between leading and supporting performances seems very blurred during the awards season, Streep's work here hardly seems like the best example of a performance that was in the wrong…

Great choices! I 100% agree with your top choice especially—Phoenix is the best film of the year and has one of the most perfect film endings of all time.

Glad to see Rocky included here—such an underrated show and score. Although, while "My Nose Ain't Broken" is good, the clear standout in that show, and what I think would have been a far better selection, is "Raining." Absolutely beautiful.

This review is gushing about Phoenix, and he is quite good in the film. But I'm sure anyone who has seen the film would agree that Parker Posey steals the movie with her performance in what could have been a throwaway role. She's absolutely brilliant, and I'm disappointed she didn't get any commentary at all here.

So glad to see someone on this website acknowledge the unfairly harsh reaction to the season one finale of The Killing—a fantastic show that was the victim of a bizarre witch-hunt from critics and fans alike. And The AV Club was one of the worst offenders—if you read the second season reviews, it certainly seems like…

I'm guessing, from Dowd's comments on "Slow Donnie" that Just Shoot Me won't make the top ten. But, it absolutely should make it on for a different episode: "Lemon Wacky Hello." Easily one of the funniest episodes of television ever created. Watch it for yourself and I dare you not to laugh.

Mason from Snowpiercer.

Mason from Snowpiercer? Mason from Snowpiercer? Mason from Snowpiercer. Where's Mason from Snowpiercer? I don't see Mason from Snowpiercer. Why don't I see Mason from Snowpiercer? Mason. Snowpiercer. Mason from Snowpiercer. MASON FROM SNOWPIERCER.

I don't even care about any logical inconsistencies— this was one of my favorite episodes of the series thus far just based on jokes alone. And the fact that Apollo Robbins— considered one of the best sleight of hand magicians, specifically as a pickpocket, ever— played Fingers. Seriously, search for him on youtube…

Except that the mask DOES take its effect on Jason. While his face itself does not distort, it's a skeleton mask which he specifically says is a "mask of death." That's why at midnight, when the family's faces all distort, he dies— it's the mask taking its effect on him. He very much pays the price for his desire to…

I have enjoyed reading these reviews. I tend to disagree with them quite often— some of my favorite episodes have gotten poorer grades, while some which don't stand out to me have received immense praise— but I have never felt that either me or the reviewer was "right" or "wrong." After all, the beauty of The Twilight…

I mean…it's a TV show. Filled with fictional characters. Even though there are some characters based on real people, they're still separate people. So, hearing Larry Smith's "side of the story" should do absolutely nothing to stop me (and all OITNB viewers) from hating Larry Bloom. He's still awful.

Not surprising, but what IS surprising is that he was fired before John Milhiser. Unless John Milhiser was also fired and it was just not deemed important enough to report on, which is a distinct possibility.

NOOOOOOOO! But I loved all of his characters! Like that one time where he played Brooks Wheelan on a game show. And when he went on Weekend Update as Brooks Wheelan.

Harry Waters- In Bruges. I thought for SURE he'd be on this list.

I'm sad that In Praise of Pip is not given a higher grade here. Mr. Handlen acknowledges what makes this episode work; Klugman's performance really needs to be seen (he's incredible in all four of his appearances on this show, but this is potentially his best work). It seems that for Mr. Handlen, the episode doesn't…

A lot of people refused to watch The Killing this season and it really is their loss. "Six Minutes" was one of the best hours of drama on television to date— as a hardcore Breaking Bad fan, it even beats out "Ozymandias" for me as the best episode of the year.

I feel this review is a bit harsh. The main criticism seems to be that the film was a bit saccharine— and it was, but that was kind of the point. This film was not trying to be edgy, it was trying to be fun and relaxed. Had this film attempted to be a serious drama, it would have felt muddled and confused. It's not…

Was this murder mystery thing just an elaborate test to see if people are reading these? Or was someone just bored? Either way, it was great.
