RSSOscars 2013: What Will Win, What Could Win And What Should Win
The 85th Annual Academy Awards – airing this Sunday at 8:30 PM EST on ABC – are sure to get a little rowdy this year. Ceremony notwithstanding, the categories themselves are all over the place, and for the first time in years, there are no dead-locks and certain promises in any of the categories (except, perhaps, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress, but we'll get to that). Still, pundits have weighed in and the scales are tipped in several favors. Here are our predictions for what will likely win, what might upset and what films and performances deserve a golden statuette in some of the ...

'Girls' 2.05 Recap: 'One Man's Trash'
There's a particular indelibility about your early twenties that's hard to clarify in layman's terms. You're equal parts eager, wistful, contemplative, mournful, nostalgic, muted, ample, sad. But most of all, you're sorry. You're sorry that you didn't do so many of the things you dreamed about in your early years. You're sorry you're not a veterinarian or a news anchor, you're sorry you don't have a family, you're sorry you had a family too soon, you're sorry you're settled into an existence you're not sure you wanted, you're sorry you still haven't found an existence worth settling for. Yo...

'Girls' 2.04 Recap: 'It's A Shame About Ray'
"It's A Shame About Ray," the fourth episode of Girls' sophomore season, is about two distinctly different dinner parties that converge into two distinctly similar outcomes. One involves Jessa's first meeting with new husband Thomas John's parents. The other is Hannah's attempt at a grown up soiree, the first dinner party in this post-Elijah age.
Anyone who's seen the show knows that a Jessa/parental figure meet-up is a disaster in the making. And, with a few minor exceptions, it totally is. Her hippie persona clashes almost instantly with Thomas John's WASPy folks, notably his rigid, blo...

'Girls' 2.03 Recap: 'Bad Friend'
Last night’s episode of Girls, “Bad Friend,” is probably the most outright hilarious in the show’s history. It’s not the best, mind you, and juggles a few too many bizarre storylines. But the laughs are a constant crescendo that come to a startling halt near the end with a confrontation the show has been building to since last year’s penultimate “break-up” between Hannah and Marnie.
The episode begins with Hannah at an office, seeking a freelance writing opportunity. It’s one of those laughably “hip” start-ups, a company called jazzhate, that encourages its writers to do something crazy ...

'Girls' 2.02 Recap: 'I Get Ideas'
It seems like Girls has building towards last night’s Hannah vs. Sandy scene its inception. The biggest controversy of the show hasn’t been Hannah Horvath’s obvious (and intentional) narcissism or the racy quips that spill from her and her friends’ mouths, but rather the distinct lack of cultural representation. Meaning: everyone is white as hell.
But now that Hannah’s dating a black guy, the discussion is open. And it turns out, Hannah is just as oblivious about the racial status of Brooklyn as critics accused her of being. But Dunham is smart enough and savvy enough to know what the Inte...

'Girls' Season 2 Premiere: 'It's About Time'
It started in a bed. And it starts in a bed, again.
In a mirror shot of the pilot’s opening scene, Girls season two pans up from the feet of two intricately laced bodies. But instead of Hannah and Marnie, it’s Hannah and Elijah, her gay ex-boyfriend and new roommate. We see the differences right away: Marnie was uptight and questioning, a counter to best friend Hannah’s puppy-like inability to grasp consequences. But Elijah is fun on overdrive. He and Hannah plan parties with themes like “Japanese snack night” and finish each other sentences. Their Brooklyn apartment is no longer an eclect...

Review: 'The Dark Knight Rises' Delivers... Almost
Gotham City is reborn. No longer a mecca for crime, it's also no longer in need of Batman. That's why, per the opening chapters of "The Dark Knight Rises," he's at rest, along with his damaged auteur, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale). As Gotham City officials celebrate their contained victory, Wayne harbors in the peripherals. It's his place, after all. He's earned it. But while he stews in his billion dollar mansion, evil is festering somewhere below. An evil so tired of this makeshift harmony that it plots a drastic city-wide facelift: Give us our streets, share with us your wealth, grant us ...

'Breaking Bad' Season 5 Premiere: 'Live Free or Die'
A desert glow burns through the horizon as two cars race towards each other, pedal to the metal, cantankerous music blaring. Just before collision, they swerve and miss each other. From one steps Mike the Cleaner, recently rehabilitated after a near-fatal wound near the end of last season. From the other, Jesse Pinkman and Walter White, partners in crime. Walt's responsible for the death of Mike's boss, Gus Fring, the meth lord mastermind who half-perished in a bomb explosion moments ago (if we follow "Breaking Bad's" time frame, which picks up seconds after season four ended). Before Mike ...

'Game of Thrones' 'Valar Morghulis' Brings Us Full Circle - Season 2 Finale
And with that, the second season of "Game of Thrones" comes to an end. It's been a wild ride. It's about to get wilder. But if there's one thing this season has truly instilled, it's a sense that great fantasy TV is both achievable and beloved. Thank you, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss for this show. I know I speak for many when I say that I end every week on a Westeros-induced high. I'm sad to say goodbye for the summer, but I'm already anxious to return.

'Game Of Thrones': 'The Prince Of Winterfell' A Prelude To Battle
Another week, another bit of laborious build-up. For as good as "Game of Thrones" can be even at its most boring, this week was the first time in a while that things got a bit… lofty.
Next week, we'll finally see the long awaited Blackwater battle – combat! Tyrion yelling out hilarious, pun-laden commands! Stannis takes the wheel! – but until then, we have to deal with a little exposition. The theme of this week seemed to be love, be it a fledgling attraction finally culminated (i.e. Robb and Talisa hooked up, big time), the difficult love between long-lost siblings, the protective love b...
