Game of Thrones Season 2 Episode 7 recap Game of Thrones: Season 2 Episode 7: A Man Without Honor – TV Review

The end is near for season two of Game of Thrones. This week’s episode begged the question, who is a “Man Without Honor?” On this show, there’s more than enough devious deeds to go around. Both men and women have plenty of skeletons in their closets. Is it Jaime for his nonchalant attitude towards killing and incest? Or is it Theon for his betrayal and heartlessness?

santa Sangre 6 May 20122 Reviewing Eberts Greatest Films: Santa Sangre (1989)

Years ago, ScreenCrave contributor Jaime Lopez privately began tackling Roger Ebert’s “Greatest Films” list, an ever-expanding monolith of celluloid currently comprised of 354 films.   With 259 under his belt and less than 100 films left to go, Lopez has set himself to put these remaining films’ “Greatness” to the test–reviewing both the movies themselves and Ebert’s response.  This week, he takes on Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Santa Sangre.

Did you hear? Television’s most underrated show just got renewed for another season! The news was followed by an awesome fake clip episode titled “Curriculum Unavailable,” a follow-up to “Paradigms Of Human Memory.” It was a series of faux flashbacks that revealed everyday life at Greendale. Community turned the tables on itself and challenged us to re-think its reality.

Parks And Recreation: Season 4 Episode 22: Win Lose Or Draw – TV Review

Parks And Recreation Season 4 Episode 22 Win Lose Or Draw – TV Review Parks And Recreation: Season 4 Episode 22: Win Lose Or Draw – TV Review

A ratings darling it’s not, but Parks and Recreation is undoubtedly one of the best comedies on TV. That NBC hasn’t yet announced a season five is ridiculous. With “Win, Lose, or Draw” the show wraps up a genuinely awesome season 4 with the election results for city council. The finale doesn’t disappoint – with a conclusion that works nicely considering this could (gasp!) be the last episode ever. Should Parks and Recreation not get picked-up , there should be an immediate Senate committee investigation.

The Office: Season 8 Episode 24: Free Family Portrait Studio – TV Review

The Office Season 8 Episode 24 Free Family Portrait Studio – TV Review The Office: Season 8 Episode 24: Free Family Portrait Studio – TV Review

It’s not official, but it looks as if NBC will go with The Office for a ninth – and probably final – season. But there’s still the business of wrapping up season eight, which is best described as inconsistent. It’s always good to end on a high note. The Office did no such thing with “Free Family Portrait Studio”. There’s a few laughs and sweet moments, but still another mediocre episode from a mostly mediocre season. Even with all the negatives, the show deserves one last season to make it all okay.

Revenge: Season 1 Episode 20: Legacy—TV Review

Revenge Legacy Emily VanCamp1jt Revenge: Season 1 Episode 20: Legacy—TV Review

Last night’s episode of Revenge was set 10 years ago, as a self-destructive Emily — then Amanda, learned of her father’s innocence. “Legacy,” although a well meaning entry, felt a little misplaced this late in the season. It had its moments, but were a few scenes enough to make up for the abrupt loss of pace?

Cougar Town Down South Christa Miller1jt Cougar Town: Season 3 Episode 12: Down South—TV Review

Hurricane wind wasn’t the only thing causing trouble on Cougar Town this week.  Love is in the air.  “Down South” focuses on happiness, and the trouble people have putting someone else’s happiness before their own.  Thankfully, serious topics never come without the hilarity fans have come to expect from the show, and last night was no exception.  As usual, viewers were treated to another stellar episode.

Glee: Season 3 Episode 19: Prom-asaurus – TV Review

glee tina santana brittany la 6 8 12 Glee: Season 3 Episode 19: Prom asaurus – TV Review

Prom at McKinley can be a bit dramatic. At last year, Kurt was named prom queen, Finn punched Jesse St. James, and Quinn slapped Rachel. This year’s senior prom was a lot less violent, but equally dramatic. Rachel spent the entire episode moping about her failed NYADA audition, while Becky kept breaking xylophones because she didn’t get nominated from prom queen. And that’s just a speck of the commotion that went on in last night’s “Prom-asaurus.”
