Bates Motel: When A Mother’s Love Becomes an Infatuation

Let’s get this straight right off the top: Bates Motel is one of the best shows that you probably aren’t watching. And it’s never been more on fire than it is right now. Bates Motel is (obviously) a prequel series to Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. When it first began, we met Norma Bates (Vera Farmiga) and…

‘Prometheus’ Aims High, But Misses the Mark

(Spoiler-free) Let me start off by saying that I really did want to love this one, gentle readers. I did. But after watching Ridley Scott’s 2012 “Is-it-an-Alien-prequel-or-not?” Sci-Fi film about a team of explorers searching for clues to the origins of mankind, I must admit my feelings of disappointment and lack of enthusiasm toward the…

KT Tunstall's New Experiment: 'Tiger Suit'

Scottish songbird KT Tunstall’s Tiger Suit is a fine example of her strengths as a songwriter, yet contrarily exemplifies old tactics that best be left behind.

The Ausiello Report hooked us up with some spicy info regarding the last few episodes of Lost. Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse must’ve been in a saucy mood at the 2010 Paley TV Fest, talking rather loose-lipped about the last batch of episodes coming down the pipe.

'Lost' was kind of a snooze

Here’s an exerpt of an email I sent to a few of my Losties. It’s a little sloppy, but since the show Lost has already sucked up and destroyed way too much of my life already, I’m not going to do much editing here. Feel free to sound off in the comments section below to…
