Little Dorrit

Dickens is the epitome of, on the one hand, ridiculous cliches and, on the other, sly commentary.

Glee: Season 2

The strangest show ever. For every terrible episode (Sexy) there's a fabulous one (Funeral).

While the no-spoken-word aspect of Sylvain Chomet's films is intriguing, this story moved far too slow to engage me fully.

Fair Game

Dense. Factual. Well-acted. Ever so one-sided. Sometimes that is the only way to go.
