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.

Eco filmmaker Andrew Nisker’s about to raise alarms regarding a pervasive daily habit many of us share.

What was Lisa Vanderpump thinking? I’d say it’s all about ratings. She must have a real staff
The ninth season for Supernatural has arrived on DVD and finds Sam and Dean strapping in for one hell of a great ride with an ending that will leave you stunned. While some television series are showing signs of staleness by the ninth season, Supernatural is firing on all cylinders with Sam and Dean facing
A disturbing love story set in the unforgiving world of the Internet. Writer/director Zachary Wigon’s essay on the vicissitudes of internet love starts innocently enough. A quiet, intimate conversation in the privacy of Cody’s (John Gallagher Jr. – HBO’s “The Newsroom,” and “Short Term 12”) East Village apartment with a possible significant other. The woman
The first part in this three-part reunion of the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” was kind of a snore. Except for when Teresa Giudice got up and left when they started talking about her legal problems, but even then it didn’t get interesting. Tre appeared to be pretty zooped up on Xanax or Valium or
Based on the wildly popular comic book series “Hellblazer” from DC Comics, seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult John Constantine (Matt Ryan) is armed with a ferocious knowledge of the dark arts and a naughty wit. His soul is already damned to hell, so he’s decided to abandon his campaign against evil until
