Insidious

I know I'll get butchered by some for the title, but the tension in this film was stupendous. At all the right times, in all the right places, the scares and thrills are there. Sure, it's a hodge-podge of Poltergeist, Exorcist and Paranormal Activity, but each aspect of those movies is accentuated...

The Company You Keep

The criticism of this movie was originally started by the press's talking heads, with them only knowing the movie's topic and Redford's politics.I am conservative who is organically suspicious of the press and it's motives, regardless of the side they come down upon. So I went to see it anyways,...

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

CBS messing with time slot running this season's shows late. That messes with DVR recording. Now all this season's shows are recorded short the last 15 minutes!

The Mentalist Seasons 7

Only the first 2 episodes have aired so far of what will be just a half-season to wind up the series. This is promising to be an extremely memorable finale for a series that is head and shoulders above any I've ever seen. I have all the DVDs and look forward to the final set for Season 7. This is...

Sophie's Choice

I watched "Sophie's Choice" not knowing at all what to expect. I assumed that the "choice" would be something commonplace in a film, like a choice between two lovers. When I found out what the choice really was, it made a very deep impression on me. It was the most gut-wrenching thing I have ever...

Major Crimes Seasons 3

I really try to like this show, but it seems that the writing staff must not have worked on The Closer, and maybe hasn't watched enough of The Closer to really know the characters. The magic that Flynn and Provenza had in The Closer is gone. Their charm was in the trouble they always got into and...
