Need for Speed Blu-ray Review

Although the racing sequences will please fans of the genre, Need for Speed’s predictable plot and lackluster pacing grind the film to a halt. The movie becomes an exercise in waiting for the next action spot with no suspense in how everything will turn out by the time the end credits roll. Based on the

Noah Blu-ray Review

Although it is weighed down by its script and pacing, director Darren Aronofsky’s Noah features dazzling visual effects and action sequences that make the film feel truly epic.

Recap: Real Housewives of New York, Manhattan’s a Ghost Town in Summer Edition

Why does BravoTV always slide in the BEST line on their teasers? OMG.

Recap: Real Housewives of New Jersey, The Telephone Game Edition

I’m going to have to call this one “The Night They Couldn’t Even Get the Gossip Right in The Great State of New Jersey.” Seriously. This episode of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” on BravoTV was like watching a group of third graders (a really big circle of them) trying to play the old game
