This week on Justified: Five people died. Yowza, what a body count. Lots of shows go with big shockers right at the end of their episodes, but Justified kicked off this week with a big one: Boyd plants a series of murdered corpses in Lee Paxton’s funeral home, tarnishing his reputation, and then shows up…
The problem with Oscar movies is that they are incredibly hyped up by virtue of critical acclaim, and then, if the movie isn’t quite as great as the nominations imply, that can be devastating to how the viewer takes the movie. This wasn’t so much an issue with, say, Gravity or 12 Years a Slave or American…

I am not, in most cases, declaring these the best movies of 2013, just the ones that were the best to me. Diff’rent strokes for diff’rent folks, yo. The list is also potentially…
Oscars! Does any word fill a film-blog frequenter with as much emotion? God, I hope so. If not, and you’re one of those unhappy few that lives and dies for the Academy (re: an actor), then you’re probably excited to know that this year’s nominations are out! Rather than painstakingly reviewing each and every nomination,…
