V Recap 1.12 – Red Sky (Finale)
Lots of double-crossing and surprises were present in this final episode of V Season 1.12. Anna (Morena Bacarrin) is different from what we’ve seen leading up to this;, she is more vulnerable, off of her game and surprisingly emotional. We see the reins of power slip from her grasp and into Lisa’s as the episode ends with Anna screaming bloody murder and Lisa doing the tiny... [Read more]
Robin Hood (2010)
What a waste of two great actors, a great supporting cast, excellent cinematography and 2 hours and 20 minutes of my life. Robin Hood started out beautifully, carried through well and then ended in a most disappointing belittling of my intelligence through a forgettable melee on the shores of London. Ridley Scott who has had moments of brilliance, figuratively dropped the ball on... [Read more]
Nurse Jackie Recap 2.9 – P.O. Box
I find it interesting that Jackie (Edie Falco) spends the episode judging other people because of their secrets when she has the biggest two of all – her addiction, and her affair with Eddie (Paul Schulze). Arguing with Kevin (Dominic Fumusa) about money (or lack thereof) on one hand, and not being able to afford the private school for Fiona (Mackenzie Aladjem) on the other hand... [Read more]
Spartacus: Blood and Sand – Season 1 Review
Bloody, sexy and insanely adult, Spartacus: Blood and Sand was an insane journey into a drama based on an historic event. It was a glorious ménage trois of 300, Caligula and Gladiator mixed together to produce 13 episodes of outstanding writing and character development. The characters, every single one were...

News: King Henry VIII says that you’re a Nigger too
Sigh… when will this word lose it’s power over people? Today marks another day when an actor proves to the public that they are not fantastical beings of abnormality, but that they are human beings too. Now normally I don’t post celebrity screw-ups here on Spicy (I have other sites for that) but... [Read more]
V Recap 1.11 – Fruition
I swear Anna (Morena Baccarin) gets scarier and scarier every episode and it is becoming quite clear that she is the type of leader that will sacrifice anyone in order to realize her goals. Lisa’s (Laura Vandervoot) wounds from her mother’s assault are a sad thing to witness as her pretty face now holds the letter V carved into her right cheek by a blade, her face battered...

Nurse Jackie Recap 2.8 – Monkey Bits
Fiona’s (Mackenzie Aladjem) busted lip is the opener of this episode and she is oblivious to the fact that her 2nd grade teacher is concerned about it. He grills her in an attempt to get her to admit that she’s been abused and an unknowing Fiona confesses that she was not taken to the doctor for her stitches and that they were done in the kitchen. The teacher is convinced and... [Read more]
Iron Man 2
Where are all of my true believers? No not the snobs who will whine about John Favreau playing a major role in his own movie, or the Transformers fans who will hate that this had too much story, too little action. I mean my true believers who can tell the difference between a repulsor ray and a uni-beam. If you are a true believer then you will 100% without a doubt love the hell... [Read more]
V Recap 1.10 – Hearts and Minds
Hobbes (Charles Meshure) is becoming more of a player than his standard background antics as he helps Jack (Joel Gretsch) and Ryan (Morris Chestnut) rig a Sidewinder missile launcher with Visitor technology. Why would he do such a thing you ask? Well it turns out that Ryan’s on-board friend has sent some important info that Anna (Morena Bacarrin) is pissed about losing her soldier... [Read more]
Nurse Jackie Recap 2.7 – Silly String
Finally Kevin (Dominic Fumusa) speaks up about his hidden issues with Jackie (Edie Falco) always being distant while he plays Mr. Mom. While he knows there’s something going on with her, he cannot put his finger on it, so he battles her on how she handled Fiona (Mackenzie Aladjem) busting open her lip. He wanted to take her to urgent care and she wanted to stitch her up in the... [Read more]
News: In Defense of The Phantom Menace
Did you see Star Wars – The Phantom Menace when it came out? Were you one of the people who said it raped your childhood or something along those lines? Do you claim ownership of the original three like some people do, citing the actual creator George Lucas as committing a crime when he opted to make three prequels to his original Space Opera? Well I am not of your number... [Read more]
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
I hope that my bias against the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise hasn’t clouded my judgment, but the movie that I just watched was awful. I blame it on me expecting too much after suffering through the metamorphosis of the scary Freddie Kruger into the jokingly horrible shadow of himself in the later movies. I expected this reboot to bring about a better story of the Elm Street... [Read more]
