Recap: Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars, The Speidi Chronicles and Aviva Crosshairs

Before this week’s episode of WEtv’s “Marriage Boot Camp,” I was pretty anti-Speidi. True confessions: I watched every episode of “The Hills” and I remember when it appeared that Spencer was isolating Heidi from her friends and family. And then they got married.

The Homesman Blu-ray Review

Although it is light on action, Tommy Lee Jones’ The Homesman is a slow-moving western that feels authentic and features powerful performances from Jones and the incredible Hilary Swank.

Recap: WEtv’s “Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars,” The TMI Edition

Alright, I just gotta say that I miss the original sex puppets. I wonder what happened to the taco, the donut, the hot dog and all the other furry critters that have appeared on previous seasons of WEtv’s “Marriage Boot Camp.” With that said, the puppets made to look like the reality stars on the

Recap/Review: FX’s Justified: Ava’s Kissing Her Troubles Away

Episode 605: “Sounding” Written by Dave Andron and Leonard Chang Directed by Jon Avnet Ava went on the offensive in “Sounding,” driving this episode with her frustrated and poor mismanagement of the stress she’s feeling from Katharine Hale (Mary Steenburgen) and Boyd (Walton Goggins) in trying to be Raylan’s (Timothy Olyphant) criminal informant. She’s pulling

Nightcrawler Blu-ray Review

Jake Gyllenhaal delivers an intense and mesmerizing performance in Nightcrawler – a film that captures the audience in the opening moments and keeps them on the edge of their seats until the end credits roll.
