Supernatural: It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester (spoilery)

Is it the end of the Sammy show?
After three plus years of focus on Sam’s grand destiny, last night’s episode gave we Dean girls some hope that Dean is actually “the one.”
The episode itself was good, although I was expecting a more light-hearted romp through Halloween lore. I enjoyed the humanizing of Castiel and the [...]

Can We Scratch Cougars Out of Our Lexicon?

I find the term cougar so gross and offensive. Yet, I may have to embrace it, or at least learn to live with it, as one of my favorite comedic actresses is doing a pilot titled “Cougar Town.”
Courteney Cox, aka Monica from Friends and Carrie from The Opposite Sex and How to Live with Them, [...]

Will Pushing Daisies See a Ratings Bump?

As the only scripted show on network television at 8:00 tonight, Pushing Daisies is in a good situation.
A lot of us are suffering from election fatigue. And we might be looking for a lush urban fairytale to take our minds off it all, at least for one hour.
Or we may never have heard of the [...]

Chuck = Best. Show. Ever.

The ultimate winner of the writers strike is Chuck, hands down. (Well, I’m pretty sure the studios won quite a bit monetarily, with that 17-day window and all, but creatively speaking, Chuck has come back bigger and better than ever.)
Last night’s episode contained enough shout-outs to video game geeks over 30 to leave a poor [...]

I'm a Winner

I was the lucky random winner in the True Blood Book Contest at BestFantasyStories.com. Yay!
Here’s my question for those of you who have read the first book in the Sookie Stackhouse series, Dead Until Dark. Should I wait until this season of True Blood is over before I read the book?

The Trouble with Edward

I finally figured out why I have misgivings about the actor cast as Edward in Twilight: he looks too British.
For me, that first book was such an American tale, and Robert Pattison just doesn’t have that wholesome, all-American look that I imagined for Edward.
I pictured him looking quite a bit more like Chace Crawford, so [...]

Is Lindsay's Career Over?

Even though I am the curmudgeon, and I can be filled with vitriol, I typically don’t like to wish evil on specific people (groups of people are fair game). But I do wish that certain people’s careers would end and they would leave the pop culture world to people I enjoy reading about.
Lindsay Lohan is [...]

View One of My Fave Movies Free at Hulu

Metropolitan (and its companion pieces Barcelona and The Last Days of Disco) is one of my favorite movies. If you haven’t seen Whit Stillman’s first film, you can watch it free at Hulu: http://www.hulu.com/watch/30659/metropolitan
After that, you’ll have to get the other two from your local video store. Netflix has Barcelona, but they don’t appear to [...]

How Passe Are Beauty Pageants?

With the latest beauty pageant scandal, I am wondering what purpose these pageants really serve. Proponents of pageants claim they teach young women poise and grace. I’m not sure how they define poise and grace, but I don’t believe any reasonable definition involves a dine and dash. (Not sure what I’m talking about here? Read [...]

What Is the Hummingbird?

I know I’m opening myself up for some potentially unsavory comments, but what is the hummingbird referenced on My Own Worst Enemy last night?
