Recap: Real Housewives of New Jersey, ‘Amber and Jim are Nuts’ Edition

So this entire episode of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” was a lead up to Joe and Teresa’s sentencing. Not that we didn’t all watch it live a couple of weeks ago, but let’s face it, anything having to do with Juicy and Tre is more interesting that what’s going on with everyone else in

Recap: BravoTV’s “Below Deck,” The Svengali Brainwasher Weirdo Edition

Tonight was downright fascinating on BravoTV’s “Below Deck.” Finally, somebody gave them what they deserved – a reduced tip for s**tty service. Not that I thought this primary charter guest was a class act – his comment about them being their slaves right before he boarded told us otherwise. But I’m sick of watching the

Dan Stevens and Maika Monroe in Southern Gothic Thriller The Guest

The Guest is an unusual film because it hits so many notes and defies the single genre stereotype. It’s scary, exhilarating, darkly comic and LOL-worthy.

The Decent One Review

Recap: “Below Deck” on BravoTV, The Beluga Caviar Edition

Tonight’s “Below Deck” on BravoTV was yet another glaring example of how completely slack and disrespectful the Ohana’s yacht crew behaves toward the guests… and their captain. Captain Lee finally shows his backbone, thank God. It may be too little too late though. Remember Kelley’s birthday party last week when he danced a stripper pole

The Liberator Review

The lavish war epic comes back to life is this swashbuckling tale of treachery and charisma. Venezuelan actor Édgar Ramírez stars in Alberto Arvelo’s lavish production of the life, victories and eventual end of the revolutionary hero Simón Bolívar. Reminiscent of the stereotypical Roman and Viking war flicks, Arvelo skillfully ups the ante with high
