Hit & Miss
   Chloe Sevigny first came on my radar as the delightfully self-obsessed middle wife to Bill Paxton’s polygamist in the HBO series BIG LOVE.  In it, Sevigny showed rare depth to …

Maigret - Set 8

Ring of Fire
   Who doesn’t love a good disaster flick?  What with the advent of some really high-brow special effects, disaster pictures have grown into a cottage industry.  Whether the …

Spy: Series 2
   Comedy can be a tough sell.  Humor isn’t always universal – what one person finds funny, another finds quirky, while a third may find it bordering on offensive – but …

The Twilight Zone - Season 2
   What makes a classic into ‘a classic’?      I’ve made the argument – probably one too many times – that critics too-often misuse the term …

Maigret - Set 7
   When I was much younger, certain authors – Spillane, Chandler, Hammett, and Cain to name but a few – got me hooked on mysteries.  Not so much the contemporary, CSI-style …

Planet Dinosaur
   Years ago, I (and many others like me) made the observation that the pervasive use of CGI in telling stories will have a downside so far as the narrative is concerned.  It wouldn’t …

Pretty Little Liars
This show is about 4 girls who are threatened by an anonymous source known as 'A' after the murder of the 5th friend, Alison. This show keeps you on the edge of your seat and after an episode …

   I had the good fortune of practically stumbling into these GEORGE GENTLY telefilms by way of flipping through the channels, catching a few bits, and then investing in the DVD sets.  …

Bink and Gollie
   I’m no parent, but I can appreciate the desire to rear one’s child (or children) to grow up to be a responsible member of any society.  I’ve often imagined how a parent …

The Vampire Diaries TV Show
It’s me again lunchers! I hope you didn’t think I’d forgotten about you. Of course, father time gets in the way of things… or perhaps has a way of putting everything perfectly …

The Office
It took time for me to get into The Office. Years, in fact. I had heard all the hype about how great it was ever since it first began airing in 2005, and I had tried to take in the occasional episode. …

Bob's Burgers
"You can't judge a book by it's cover" never held more true then the DVD cover for Bob's Burgers.  A wacky family runs burger shop with awkward kids with the tally complete …

Ripper Street
    I’ve no doubt that the appearance of Jack the Ripper on the streets of Whitechapel deliberately played a hand in the development of forensic sciences.  Plenty has been written …

Being Human: Season 2
    I love monster movies.  Always have.  I probably always will.  As a critic, I tend to give them a bit of a pass when it comes to being hard on them, and that’s …

Boss: Season 2
   If you know anything about the politics of the great ‘Windy City’ of Chicago, then you know at the very least how corrupt a local administration can be.  Now, don’t …

Hulk Vs. (Two-Disc Special Edition) (Widescreen)
What fun these two films are. Hulk VS Thor starts out with Odin going into a deep sleep once a year at which time the forces of evil descend upon Asgard to try to destroy it. Every year, however, their …

      You have to give a hand to HBO for having the guts to take on such a lofty and risky project. Even for a company as successful and well thought of as them, Game of Thrones was …

Battlestar Gallactica
I'd like to make a little disclaimer before going on. I've never been a sci fi (sorry, SyFy) geek, not in the least bit. Oh, I've enjoyed my fair share of it, from Star Trek to Star Wars, and I've enjoyed …
