Searching For Akili Smith

Hello All, As you guys very well may know, 2 days ago marked another week of the programs that I have flocked to this season, Dexter and Homeland. After a fairly disappointing outing from both shows last week, I was in an interesting mindset to see how this weeks episodes were, and I was very [...]

So, it has come the time of year again when many of the critically acclaimed shows start airing, and for many, this means that Sunday nights have become a lot busier. Last night were the season premieres of two incredibly well received shows, Dexter (season 7) and Homeland (season 2), and after watching both of [...]

Hello, First I want to premise this article with the statement that I am nearly done with season 3 of Breaking Bad, as I have only started catching up a few weeks ago.  With this said, I want to try to write an honest review and my opinions on the show, as I haven’t really [...]

Trailers for James Bond’s Skyfall, Snoop Lion’s Reincarnated, and Lindsay Lohan on set of The Canyons made headlines this week. Rusty Ryan provides the trailers, youtube videos, and analysis for each.

Now that someone actually put a good recap show up against ESPN’s Mark May, Lou Holtz, and Rece Davis, we can get some quality insight in to college football.

My expectations for Ted were low, owing to the fact that the trailer made the movie seem like a ninety-minute episode of Seth Macfarlane’s hit series Family Guy, at least in terms of the humor employed. The only reason I went to see it was because a certain lady friend thought it looked really good [...]

Now I know that I haven’t written here in a while, but I wanted to quickly address a show that I have had somewhat of a writing past with: Alcatraz.  So as I am writing this, we are ten episodes into the thirteen episode season, and a few of the secrets have been revealed, but [...]

The History Channel struck gold with Pawn Stars and is trying too hard to replicate its success. A critical analysis of knockoffs.

By no means does Tucker Max embody what it means to be a role model. There are two strong opinions on him but he is an unlike example of following your dreams and defining your own life.

Drive is a movie that is very unlike many of the other movies that have come out this year.  What I find so oddly intriguing about Drive is that while there are some very tense and action packed scenes, there are just as many scenes that are very mellow, but at the same time extremely [...]

My initial reaction when I found out that The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was going to have an English language release 2 years after a Swedish language version was made was a bit of shock.  It is not unprecedented to rerelease a film in English after its initial release as a foreign film, but [...]

I don’t want to say that if it was presented in a more succinct way, The Sitter would have been a good movie, but I think that it definitely had a lot of potential that was not tapped in to.  For those of you who don’t know, The Sitter is the latest Jonah Hill movie, [...]

The Descendants is a recent movie that has hit theaters that is directed by Alexander Payne (of Sideways and About Schmidt fame), and stars George Clooney as a father trying to reconnect with his daughters after his wife (their mother) gets into a tragic Jet Ski accident.  Coming into “award season” for movies, this movie [...]

American Horror Story is a conundrum to me.  I can say with certainty that the writing is some of the most horrifically bad prose that I have come across, yet there is some inexplicable effect that is drawing me to FX’s newest experiment.  After just finishing the third episode, I’ve come to the conclusion that [...]

I don’t know if you could tell this about me (I certainly hope you could if you have been keeping up with my posts), but I like television.  That’s probably a pretty blanket statement that applies to most all people, as everyone has at one point found a show that they enjoy quite a bit, [...]
