‘American Horror Story’ 5.11 Recap: “Guns Blazing and Don’t Stop”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 12 Jan 2016 17:00:11 +0000

‘American Horror Story’ didn’t take much of a break over the holidays at all. The show only had two weeks off and is already back with a new episode. Then again, considering that the finale is coming right up, there’s no sense prolonging the inevitable. It’s just about time to wrap this thing up. To...

‘Empire’ Pilot Recap: “Show Me Your Soul in This Music”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 17:00:16 +0000

Fox premiered the new drama series ‘Empire’ on Wednesday night this week. With a powerhouse cast and a flashy music industry setting, does the show have any real substance to go with its abundance of hype? The series was created by Lee Daniels, director of ‘Lee Daniels’ The Butler‘ and ‘Lee Daniels’ Precious: Based on...

‘American Horror Story’ 4.09 Recap: “Your Every Wish Is About to Come True”

Josh Zyber — Mon, 15 Dec 2014 20:00:52 +0000

I’ve mentioned a bunch of times already during ‘American Horror Story: Freak Show’ that I haven’t bought into the decision to make spoiled rich crybaby Dandy Mott the primary villain for the season. Now that he’s fully embraced being a gleeful psycho killer, however, the character has become both more interesting and more fun. Dandy...

‘American Horror Story’ 4.08 Recap: “Look Who Ain’t Dead… Yet”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 09 Dec 2014 17:00:47 +0000

Perhaps I was just in a better mood and more receptive to the show than I’d been recently, but as soon as I saw that last week’s episode of ‘American Horror Story’ was titled ‘Blood Bath’, I had a feeling that I’d enjoy it more than most this season. I’m still not sold on making...

‘American Horror Story’ 4.05 Recap: “Whatever Magic Happens, Happens”

Josh Zyber — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 20:00:49 +0000

Following a two-parter of episodes that disappointed me greatly, ‘American Horror Story’ returned to its tried-and-true formula of freaks and psycho killers. Although an improvement, is this episode too little too late? The primary focus of episode ‘Pink Cupcakes’ is the con man formerly known as Mansfield, now calling himself Spencer (Denis O’Hare). Pretending to...

‘American Horror Story’ 3.02 Recap: “I’m Sorry I Killed Your Boy Candy”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 22 Oct 2013 16:00:14 +0000

No one ever accused ‘American Horror Story’ of being a show for the squeamish. Last week’s episode was called ‘Boy Parts’, and let’s just say that the title has a couple of different meanings. Still grieving over the death of her almost-boyfriend Kyle, Zoe (Taissa Farmiga) finds herself dragged to the morgue in the middle...

‘American Horror Story’ 3.01 Recap: “Well, That Was Disturbing”

Josh Zyber — Fri, 11 Oct 2013 17:00:12 +0000

With so many of the fall’s new TV shows proving to be crushing disappointments, it’s a relief to have at least one returning series still worth getting excited about. ‘American Horror Story’ returned on Wednesday for its third season of mind-bending insanity. A new year brings a new setting and an all-new storyline. This one’s...

Now Playing: ‘Tower Heist’ Doesn’t Fall Completely Flat

Luke Hickman — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 13:00:17 +0000

Full disclosure: I cannot stand Brett Ratner. ‘Red Dragon‘ is the only of his films that I find worthy of re-watching. Even before learning that ‘Tower Heist’ was a Ratner movie, I dreaded it based on that awful trailer. When news broke that theater owners were up in arms due to the film streaming on-demand...

The Trailer Park: An Ensemble Cast Playing a Board Game

M. Enois Duarte — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 19:00:24 +0000

The last few weeks have been flooded with new trailers. A good chunk of them feature ensemble casts likely intended to drive up the box-office numbers. In the fall, we’re getting a comedy heist to tickle your funny bone and a drama to remind how much politics suck. We also have a couple teasers for...

Showtime Preview Triptych Recaps: Big Shameless Episodes

Josh Zyber — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 18:00:39 +0000

I don’t normally subscribe to Showtime, but the network had one of its free preview events over the weekend. This gave me the opportunity to check out three of its recent series that I wouldn’t have been able to watch otherwise, two of which are newly premiering. Episodes ‘Episodes’ is a new comedy about a...
