Downton Abbey: Season 2
This show, as much of a soap opera as it truly is, is as addictive as crack.

Chuck: Season 4
I have a special relationship with this series. I just want to pinch its little cheeks and say "you are the cutest thing!"

Killer Elite
Um, ditto my review for The Mechanic, only this time it's De Niro and Statham.

The Debt
A much more satisfying ending than I expected from tried-n-true Holocaust thriller territory.

The Big Bang Theory: Season 3
I believe this season contains the best episode so far: "The Gorilla Experiment" (Sheldon teaching Penny physics).

Midnight in Paris
This is either a mood poem or an explanation or an admonition. (All three?)

Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory
Purgatory it definitely is. Could there be a sadder, more bittersweet ending ever?

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Season 4
Holy moley. I feel for those who had to endure the last 10 seconds of this season and then WAIT for the next one.

Cowboys & Aliens
Not that it excuses the piss-poor writing or directing, but I get what Favreau was doing here in hearkening back to the age of the stately Western.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
I'm not with the other critics. I think this outing was more fun and funny than the previous one.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Fincher at his best. (Plus, every girl's revenge fantasy. Well, hopefully not every girl.)

War Horse
While it's definitely about the horse, it's more of an oblique way to talk about war and its effect on humankind.

Hugo
OH behind me in theater as credits were rolling: "Oh, Méliès was a real guy!" Sigh.
The Adventures of Tintin
The first, and best, of Hergé on screen: an adaptation worthy of his work.

Slings and Arrows: Season 3
That was an uncomfortable season. Cancelation has to be every actor's biggest nightmare.

Star Wars Uncut: Director's Cut
Heartwarming for any true geek. But! So many Toy Story references and not one Doctor Who?
