It's been nauseating to see the ads on Indian television. It's been promoted by appealing to one's national pride ("Go watch a Hollywood film made by this famous Bollywood guy you know! Aren't we all so proud?"). Thing is Chopra has never been a great director. All his movies have had some redeeming elements like the…

This idea that international audiences are responsible for dumbing down content is an annoying claim that is constantly bandied around. Ignoring all the well received special effects laden films that have done well internationally (like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Inception and Life of Pi), many smaller films…

It's also the first time I genuinely liked a Wiz Khalifa song. It just was a perfect ending with Diesel's monologue and the two speeding cars. This had entertainment, incredible action scenes and emotional heft. Honestly, what more could one ask from a blockbuster?

When I see episodes where the time travel aspect plays a bigger part, I wonder if the writers had a different plan to explain the mysteries or the origins of the island. Time and the nature of the past and present was a constant on the show right from the beginning and they kept adding all these elements from the Adam…

Yeah even I wondered about that. The parents do seem to have a much better grasp of English and pop culture than most FOBs, so this would make sense. However has anyone noticed if there was any retconning with that? I remember Louis saying that he and Jessica moved from Taiwan. Maybe they both went to college in…

Mr. Bean: The Whole Bean works best as an exercise in nostalgia for the already indoctrinated.

Asylum is really the best season so far. It had a host of memorable characters, was creepy all the way through and was also moving in a way American Horror Story had only been briefly in season 1 and hasn't been since then.

I feel at this point, the complaining by the people about the people who've read the books is far more than the complaining by the people who've read the books.

I don't think any of the darker stuff had to be straight up drama. If anything Tina Fey has shown that she can mine humour from dark moments or poignancy from the strangest or most surreal moments (The Rural Juror song).

See Jon Hamm is perfect as the Reverend. Tina Fey and Jerry Minor are a hoot as the bumbling attorneys but these last few episodes still feel extremely off. If it was supposed to be a comic take on how fucked up America's justice system is, then it needed a little more dose of reality. What made the other episodes…

I saw Marcia Cross being suggested somewhere (maybe on a previous review thread) and I think she would be perfect. She's got amazing comedy chops and she is very capable of playing a cold withholding mother (*Lucille Bluth flashbacks*)

That actually was the best line of the episode. Xan's friends are super entertaining.

Now if only there wasn't an Entourage movie in the first place.

Someone who works on the show posted on a forum confirmed that there was a fallout between Margulies and Panjabi. And while the cited reasons in the media have been the usual sexist nonsense about Margulies being jealous of Panjabi's success (which seems unlikely since she's the star and a producer on the show), he…

I think they completely did away with the sexual abuse stuff in the final three episodes. It didn't even come up during the trial. So I really doubt they'll follow through on that next season.

I actually enjoyed both the flashbacks. Yes, there isn't too much new information in both of them but they are still interesting enough because these are fascinating characters. I have always enjoyed the Sun/Jin flashbacks primarily because Yunjin Kim always turns in a lovely performance. People always brought up…

This episode wasn't very strong but it's a testament to the strength of the show's characters and performers that just spending 22 minutes with them is enjoyable enough. I know not everyone is a fan of the kid who plays Eddie but I think he's been doing a fantastic job.

Love it! That plot is straight out of a sitcom.

I hope everyone has watched all the way till the finale because that line really stuck with me.

For some gossipy interludes, it's pretty clear that Archie Panjabi isn't leaving on the best terms with the showrunners and Julianna Margulies. There has been lots of whispers about their alleged feud over the past couple of seasons (including one from someone who works on the show) but one of the biggest indicators…
