Recap: WEtv’s “Marriage Boot Camp” The Party Is Over Edition

WEtv’s “Marriage Boot Camp” is back and this time I just can’t resist blogging it. If the first episode was any indication, I’m not going to be disappointed by the crazy-factor this season (really, somebody let Heidi and Spencer back on American television?). Heidi Montag (I know, it’s hard to recognize her because of all

House of Lies: Surreal First World Problems Continue in Season 4

House of Lies has always been more than just a comedy. It’s a trip inside the surreal and often fantastical world of white-collar egomaniacs. Sure, the “sexcapades” are a little out of control sometimes, as is the nature of premium networks like Showtime and HBO, but this hyper reality is grounded in hard-hitting truths, socio-economic

Make Time For Punk, Blues and Pop Fusion With Hanni El Khatib

Being able to write a good pop song is difficult. Adding in elements of punk and blues with that is an even more mind blowing experience. Hanni El Khatib gracefully played his way on in to the music industry in 2011 with “Will the Guns Come Out.” Khatib worked as a creative director for skateboarding

Predestination Review

Put the time-travel gibberish into the background and the result is a great, gritty Aussie noir flick not to be missed. The Spierig brothers reunite with Ethan Hawke for their first feature in five years and it is a fascinating film. The screenplay is based on the science fiction short story by Robert A. Heinlein

Inherent Vice Review

Ignore the stoner humor and hackneyed clichés and appreciate the mood and setting of this most neo of the neo-noirs. Those who have read any of Thomas Pynchon’s intractable tails must have been amazed that Paul Thomas Anderson would take on the hazardous task of transforming his 2009 novel into a movie. Continuing Pynchon’s ongoing

Recap: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The “Keep Brandi in Time-Out” Edition

This week’s “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” should have been called the “Keep Brandi in Time-Out” episode. She just managed to piss off or horrify literally everyone. Lisa has to go to lunch with her because she got backed into a corner at the fundraiser the previous day. Ken’s giving her s**t because he’s just

Recap: Vanderpump Rules, We’re All Sick Of Jax Edition

Here’s the thing, while I was thoroughly entertained by “Vanderpump Rules” on BravoTV tonight, nothing actually happened. Yes, they went on the bachelorette party to Miami but other than the boys all acting like a bunch of women (that’s why I didn’t call it a bachelor party), there was absolutely no storyline whatsoever. The entire

Recap: ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Double Header, The Pilfered Candles Edition

Just forced myself to watch two episodes of “Vanderpump Rules” back-to-back in an effort to get all caught up for this week (damned Dish box succumbed the salt air on our tiny island here only five miles wide), and to some extent, the experience was painful. But maybe we should all have to watch a

Recap: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The Vanderpump Butt Kissing Edition

So here’s the thing, I got three weeks behind on the watching and blogging “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” because I live on the third point of the Bermuda Triangle and our Dish box went wonky and that’s how long it took to get it all repaired. Meanwhile, I’ve had a few weddings over the
