It’s hard to focus on writing tonight’s “Vanderpump Rules” blog because I’d rather be watching Lisa Vanderpump with Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live.” I love Lisa, although I’m starting to wonder why she hasn’t fired some of these idiots who are still working for her. Last week, Lisa fired James and put Kristen
A lean and mean essay on human bondage, a minimalist examination of living life to the least. Peter Sattler’s directorial debut is as bare and exposed as a prisoner in a cell. A stripped down film about warehousing human beings and waiting for the next step. The next step for the inmate is release, and
Screenwriting bromedy that shows Bollywood is not that much different than its American counterpart. Dulal is the brains and Mainak is the street smarts in Amit Masurkar’s flighty bromedy screened at the 9th Seattle South Asian Film Festival. Like most screenwriters, these two need that one big break to make it into the big time.
Hell no. I’m not blogging anymore “Real Housewives of New Jersey” reunions, “Secrets Revealed,” or any other crap they come up with for BravoTV to try to keep this show on life support. I am so done. And so is most of America if the tweets flying tonight were any indication. The only people who
Truth? I don’t know what was funnier and more pathetic tonight on the latest episode of “Vanderpump Rules.” It was either Tom’s four-minute apology video to Scheana on YouTube or Jax getting Stassi’s tattoo covered up and getting Carmen’s name inked on, and then breaking up with her. Now he’s gotta have Tiffany’s name tattooed
I didn’t get a chance to watch Part 2 of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” reunion until Sunday night because I had two weddings to run this weekend with the challenge of a lot of bad tropical weather. When I finally sat down to watch it, I had to admit that it was better
A combination of spectacular special effects, marginal physics and grindingly slow treacle, McConaughey pulls this one out of the fire. Christopher Nolan’s $165 million IMAX space lollapalooza is all the better for starting in the most modest of environments. It is some time in the future, some place in the American Midwest. Things are not
Eco filmmaker Andrew Nisker’s about to raise alarms regarding a pervasive daily habit many of us share. His latest documentary The Dark Side of the Chew closing the 15th annual Planet in Focus Environmental Film Festival this Sunday lifts of the veil off gum pollution. It’s a complex problem that like smoking is widespread and initially seemed
North American TV Anglophiles listen up! Some superb new (to us) murder /police procedurals from over ‘ome are now available on Acorn TV for streaming this month. I have a huge bias towards British television dramas in all genres, because I find Americans ones, in general, to be written by committee and aimed at the
After finishing up “Vanderpump Rules” last season by proving that pretty boys can fight – they just don’t hit anywhere it could affect a modeling career – the whole same crew of idiots is back working at Sur. What was Lisa Vanderpump thinking? I’d say it’s all about ratings. She must have a real staff
