‘Chuck’ 4.24 Recap: “You’re Not the Spy Y
‘Chuck’ finally wrapped up its fourth season last week with a resolution to both the previous episode’s cliffhanger and most of the year’s running storylines. In a lot of ways, the episode sums up the seaso...

Blu-ray Highlights for 5/17/11. What Are You Buying?
When I wrote up last week’s Blu-ray Highlights post, I somehow missed the fact that ‘Justin Bieber: Never Say Never‘ was released on Friday the 13th. What an inexcusable oversight! Can you ever forgive me? I sure...
