Just saw this film earlier tonight. Immediately during the middle of the first scene, I couldn't help but think back to all the restless nights I used to spend playing Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010 version) online, playing Hot Pursuit mode with hypercars while I blasted stuff ranging from Arctic Monkeys to

"With so much wasted potential, it’s hardly surprising that Baywatch went through six different screenwriters, a franchise dream team that is, collectively, responsible for Night At The Museum, Freddy Vs. Jason, and The Smurfs."

How in the world was this episode only a B? There were fantastic character moments left and right, the direction/cinematography was some of the best in the series, and there were some brilliant facial expressions at key moments (Oleg's face when he crosses with that informant in the park practically gives away

"Monica’s death overshadows every other storyline, robbing the season of a clear climax and disrupting the arcs that were already in progress."

I wanted to love RB&L too but imo it lacks so much chemistry and flow when it's off, but recently I gave the whole thing a few listens again and it's a really good album on its own merits; people seem to overlook the songs on it that are just about on the same level as the earlier albums.

I see exactly what you did there

"But it isn’t until They Want My Soul’s fourth track, “Do You,” that the record truly starts to kick in."

As someone who was born after the brilliant trifecta of People's Instinctive Travels, The Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders, words cannot begin to describe just how glad, how surprised, and how blessed I feel as an individual that ATCQ put together this masterpiece, especially considering the week that America

This is the exact reason why I wished someone else reviewed this show for A.V. Club. Not to knock on Alston and his talents, but he never seemed to understand the approach this show takes, and it's frustrating to watch an episode for what it is and read an article by someone else who, nearly every week, criticizes it

"It all ends with a cliffhanger that will have viewers cursing Cartoon Network for cancelling this series, setting up a third season that will never come to fruition."

Did anyone else how much that magic amulet looks exactly like the same amulet that's activated by Sir Francis Drake's ring in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception? I'm not crazy for pointing that out, am I???

There's definitely an effort to connect with Earn here, although I think, in this particular regard, that Craig's intentions could be interpreted in a lot of different ways. I, too, think that he just wanted someone to call him out, and Earn being as out-of-place at the party as Craig would consider that maybe Craig

"The script can never quite decide if Craig is annoying because he knows too little, because he knows too much, or because he’s generally oblivious to how to appropriately engage with blackness."

"The dominant literal part of me doesn’t understand what Montague is, or why Paper Boi would be invited on it to discuss issues he clearly doesn’t care much about. (Or why he would be on a talk show discussing trans issues after maybe shooting someone and definitely roughing up Black Justin Bieber during a celebrity

Yeah, I only brought up those complaints because the show insists on using the FS1 label however they can, and as someone who's watched a ton of baseball on that network it bugs me. It's not a deal breaker or anything; I'm just personally more comfortable with the more conventional direction shown in a real game.

I personally didn't like this episode, and this is coming from someone who really enjoyed "The Interim". Part of my reasoning stems from two things: 1) Trevor, and 2) the broadcast presentation of the game leading into/after the brawl. I hated the flashbacks because I didn't think they added to her insistence in

I personally love the direction GoT has gone, mostly because I've been anxiously waiting for certain story arcs to justify their existence and/or reach a point where they exude much-needed character growth instead of teasing such for multiple seasons (like with how long it took Bran to meet the three - eyed raven and

Man, I would HATE watching this show with this reviewer.

I actually found there to be plenty of substance surrounding the battle, especially when you consider some of the characters in play. For example (And this will be the only one I'll use for now otherwise I'll go on all day long), Sansa practically spent the entire series being tricked, used and abused, here she is

"The fact is that Game Of Thrones does sort of need a battle: the stakes are continually being raised in terms of the show’s scale, with the producers feeling the need to create (and promote) larger sequences each season. It’s not enough that Game Of Thrones comes back and delivers the same type of thrills as the
