The first episode was hilarious. I'll never be uncertain about anything ever again!

You're right that it never rose to the stature of a Breaking Bad or Mad Men, but I will say that Justified has arguably the best dialogue of any modern TV show. It is like poetry. The Raylan-Boyd dynamic alone was worth watching, and the banter between characters made the story that much more tantalizing to tune into…

The directing of the episode alone deserves some huge praise, but the performances from everyone (most importantly Charlie Day) and the weirdly hilarious story made it one of the best Always Sunny episodes ever, in my opinion. Apparently they made it before Birdman came out too.

There's certainly been a lot of great TV so far this year, and some truly amazing series (Banshee, The Americans, Better Caul Saul). But in terms of individual episodes, my personal pick for the best single episode of TV would be the season two finale of the Starz show Black Sails, which managed to almost perfectly…

I lost it when they started doing their own dubbing of the movie. Bob's Burgers manages to be the perfect mix of heartfelt and hilarious.

I think Banshee is a top five TV show. No other series I know of manages to have the perfect mix of entertaining action, complex characters, and an intriguing story. I really can't wait for next season, especially with the way that last season ended.

Jonathan Banks did the voice for Commissioner Gordon in Batman: Arkham Knight. He seems to handle gruff, morally-conflicted characters very well in any form of media. If the man ever wants to do more work in voice acting, he'd do great.

Oh, she certainly is. I don't know how anyone could watch her in "The Wrestler" or "The Lincoln Lawyer" and not think so.

Who do you think would be her favorite hip hop artist/group? I'm gonna guess Little Brother or Talib Kweli. She seems cool like that.

For the rest of the year, every time I see a film get a grade lower than a B+ there's going to be a nagging thought in my head: "I guess it wasn't as good as 'Jauja' or 'Unfriended.'" And that is a scary thing.

"I can't keep doing this on my own. With these…aliens."

Thanks for the recommendation, I actually saw "A Most Violent Year" a few weeks back. Isaac's performance was very good in its complexities, but the movie itself was fairly underwhelming. I guess my biggest critique would be that not enough actually "happened" (for lack of better phrasing), and that the central…

I'd agree that some of the Oscar-endorsed biopics are overblown. But sometimes they actually manage to be pretty good. I really enjoyed "Ray" and "Walk the Line" (Joaquin didn't win, but Reese did). That might have been because I love the subjects' music already, but they're still solid movies on their own. Maybe I'll…

IT PUTS THE LOTION ON ITS SKIN AND PUTS IT IN THE BASKET

Was "The Theory of Everything" really that bad? I'm just curious, since I didn't see it. I heard mixed reviews from friends. Some said it was incredible and that Redmayne absolutely deserved all the awards. Others thought it was okay, but not a "great" film. I'd not heard that it was shitty, though.

Oscar Isaac's got skills, lemme tell ya. First "Inside Llewyn Davis," then getting down in "Ex Machina." If he doesn't eventually play a triple threat Hugh Jackman-type reluctantly helming a failing Broadway musical, it'll be a travesty.

I never saw "Rang De Basanti," but a lot of my friends in India did (I used to live and study in Delhi). They loved it. It has a great cast, including Aamir Khan, who is one of the best. My favorite performance of his though is probably "3 Idiots," another great film—but that's a different discussion. "Rang" was also…

I could watch Amitabh Bachchan do the dishes and that would be entertainment enough. He is incredible. And yes, count me among the "Americans Who Watch Bollywood." "Dil Se" is one of my favorite movies of all time, and "Delhi Belly" (which I rewatched recently) is one of the best modern Bollywood films to come along…

Steve: "Barry, Toshi, you all know my Uncle Roger, right?"

I'm surprised to see that someone else is aware of "Outsourced's" short, almost unnoticed existence. That show was actually somewhat entertaining, if only for its unique premise. Considering the plethora of talent, it's surprising that in this multicultural day and age we do not have more South Asian actors in…
