TV THEATER REVIEWS

While the setting, style, and time period of Quentin Tarantino movies have changed throughout the years, there are three things that have remained consistent; ensembles of gleefully flawed characters; depraved, but often gorgeously bloody violence; and lots and lots of profanity. While the theatre i...

On this week's episode of SUPERGIRL, Astra makes Kara question everything she thinks she knows about her aunt, CatCo faces an email hacking scandal, and Cat Grant finds out Kara's true identity. Mostly importantly, the amazing Laura Benanti finally got a lot of screen time!...

Surprisingly, the Season 2 finale of FARGO didn't blow me away like the Season 1 finale did. However, this scene was more about life and consequences, so given the difference to last season--which was more about chaos and disruption--the ending is much more fitting....

I need a moment. I need six years worth of moments. I thought I'd be fine. I'd read the fan forums, seen the preview. Assumed it was going to be about that thing. That thing six years ago. And then it was about that thing. And my heart remembered all its damage, because you get wiser over the years,...

What sets THE LAST MAN ON EARTH apart from every other show on the air is its seamless mixing of rapturously funny comedy with its bleak, post-apocalyptic setting. The show is able to make that distinction and allow comedy to seep into a dark setting through distancing its characters from the traged...

In drama, there are three types of conflict: man versus man, man versus self, and man versus nature. In Ron Howard's new film, IN THE HEART OF THE SEA, Chris Hemsworth and Broadway favorite Benjamin Walker face all three types of conflicts as they battle a vengeful white whale. Loosely based on the ...

There are certain high risk situations that make you really question what type of person you are. Are you a chainsaw-hand type? Are you a flamethrower type? A regsie gun type? A rigged camo-colored truck type? What's your Boom Stick?...

Tonight's the night, folks! Hours of lost sleep, too many close calls to count, and it all comes down to this: the AMAZING RACE Season Finale, where one team will take home the million dollar prize - as well as some of the biggest bragging rights ever. Justin and Diana have fallen from grace as the...

A line is literally drawn in the sand as Ollie (aka Green ARROW, played by Stephen Amell) proceeds with his plans to clean up Star City bay as Damien Dahrk (Neal McDonough) retaliates in the most bloody way possible. We've got a quiver of ammo and our eye on the target, we'll get you caught up....

SCREAM QUEENS, since its inception, has been a satire of college Greek life, a system that breeds hateful, self-obsessed people. Every few weeks in the news there's a story of a fraternity throwing a racist party, or spitting on veterans, or leaked sorority emails. Chanel and her cronies have been r...

Christmas comes early as STAR WARS' Mark Hamill returns as villain James Jesse (aka Trickster). Sit a spell. We'll get you caught up to speed....

On this week's episode of SUPERGIRL, Kara had to learn to be a hero without her superpowers, Alex finally got answers about what happened to her father, and Hank Henshaw's true identity was revealed. (And we learned that James Olsen has some very impressive arm muscles.)...

Anxiety. That is how I felt for over half of episode 9 of FARGO, 'The Castle.' There is so much to discuss, but I can't begin this recap without talking about the UFO! The entire season there have been very small glimpses into there being an alien undertone, but we never had any direction for it. In...

THE LAST MAN ON EARTH celebrates Christmas in typical LAST MAN fashion: grandiose and exuberant. Carol, of course, is super into Christmas. She decorates the Malibu Mansion with huge candy canes, themed rooms, and a large Christmas tree. It is truly a wish-fulfillment Christmas decoration. For once,...

The Doctor's motives in 'Heaven Sent' become apparent in the Season 9 finale of DOCTOR WHO. At the end of the previous episode, we found out that The Doctor spent billions of years breaking through the wall, instead of just giving up what he knows about the hybrid. The people who wanted that informa...

If there was ever a most important leg of the Race, this one is it. Well, aside from the very final million dollar leg, of course. This one, though, determines which three teams make it to that final million dollar leg, and which team has their most precious hopes and dreams crushed before their eye...

Thanks to Tony-winner Kenny Leon and a delightfully entertaining cast of characters, 'Home' is most certainly where the heart is this holiday season. Coming into this year's NBC live musical, theatre lovers nationwide were appropriately apprehensive, given the spotty results from THE SOUND OF MUSIC ...

Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) continues to threaten both Teams FLASH and ARROW, forcing the gang to bring the fight to Central City, the home turf of Barry (aka THE FLASH, played by Grant Guston) and part two of our crossover event. Keep your eye on the target, we'll get you caught up....

SCREAM QUEENS, at its core, is an absurd horror satire. It infrequently satirizes the genre in which it is indebted, and instead focuses a lot of its absurd humor on millennials and the adults who don't care about them. Up until this point, the show has remained consistent, but tonight, it loses its...

Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) threatens Kendra (aka Hawkgirl, played by Ciara Renee), Barry (aka THE FLASH, played by Grant Gustin) has her hold up in Star City under the watchful eye of Ollie (aka Green ARROW, played by Stephen Amell) in part one of the two-night crossover event. We've got our runni...

Tonight's episode of FARGO took a different turn, only following the perspectives of two sets of people: Ed and Peggy and Hanzee. The episode begins where we left off with Ed after he ran away from Hank and Lou. He returns home and he and Peggy escape with Dodd to his uncle's cabin in the woods. The...

On this week's episode of SUPERGIRL, Kara battles against a military android called Red Tornado and her own anger, Lucy Lane's father proves a threat to the DEO and her relationship with James, and Alex seeks out an unexpected ally to find out what happened to her father....

No matter how many episodes THE GOOD WIFE devotes to technology, there's always one more thing for me to think about. Tonight, 'Discovery' spends the hour addressing technology as both a reflector, and cultivator, of racism. Essentially - if what we are shown online is primarily a reflection ...

In 'Heaven Sent,' Peter Capaldi shines in his first episode alone. Capaldi has no other interactions in the episode, unless you cant the silent hooded figure that follows him the entire time. This episode had a lot of surprises, and really allowed for Capaldi to show his talent and ability to create...

Kelly's still possessed. Ash undergoes an exorcism. Pablo thinks he's found love in a hopeless place. Eligos demons look like something out of Silent Hill....
