Last night’s finale just goes to show that when it comes to TV comedy, you can’t do much better than ‘Modern Family.’ It was formulaic, sure, but some formulas exist for a reason – because they just plain ...
As I revealed in my recent Blu-ray review, ‘Dune’ is my favorite movie. No, it’s not the best movie I’ve ever seen, but it is my favorite, for reasons that I spelled out pretty thoroughly in the review. Ple...
