Fracture
Way to telegraph the ending 20 minutes beforehand.
My Week with Marilyn
What kind of preparation does it take to get a role just right?
House, M.D.: Season 8
On the last episode: Good, he couldn't go back to his old life. But bad, Cuddy didn't reappear.

Our Idiot Brother
It's a cross between "Liar, Liar" and "Yes Man", minus a Carrey and plus a Rudd.

Frozen
Would people in dire situations like this truly make as many stupid choices as they did?

Doctor Who: Season 13
With Baker's arrival, I've nearly reached the point where I don't have to be doing my stitchery while I'm "watching."

Sherlock: Series 2
That second episode is always a dog. Literally, in this case.

Modern Family: Season 3
The new Lily is about 5000 times better, Vergara just keeps growing on me, and is it just me or is Bowen's hyper-kineticism too much to bear at times?

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Season 5
Sure sounds stupid when you say it out loud, but yea, Patrick Stewart is truly an excellent actor.

The Kingdom
From the beginning to the very end, the most obvious of storytelling devices to evoke sympathy for both sides.

30 Rock: Season 3
Consistently enjoyable, if not consistently amusing.

From Paris with Love
No, no, Luc Besson movies only work when Besson himself is writing and directing. Otherwise? Cheap knock-offs.

The Conspirator
This film is precisely what it looks like on the surface: betrayal, redemption, pedantism.

The White Ribbon
Yes, this film is about all forms of terrorism, but I'd rather say it's about bad dads.

The Avengers
So much I could say, but I'll say this instead. I'd love to have Hiddleston's hair.

Puss in Boots
I wonder if Banderas pushed at all to subtitle the entire film in Spanish.

Misfits: Season 2
So much to recommend in this show: the opening song, Socha's accent, the fabulous morph ability of Rheon, jeepers, just watch it, okay?

The Boxing Girls of Kabul
For once, a doc that is too short! You get the flavor of the myriad problems facing these girls, but you want more of an outcome.

McCullin
Big ol' warning: some graphically shocking material is in this doc about a war photographer.

Laura
I feel for our director here. What was he supposed to do when the film turned back on himself, other than insert himself in the doc?

Despite the Gods
It's a rare doc that starts out with me not caring about the protagonist (Jennifer Lynch of Boxing Helena fame) and ends with me adding her to my have-dinner-with fantasy list.

J. Edgar
DiCaprio successfully inhabits the role, but the entire film feels like name dropping and little else.

Misfits: Season 1
What category to place this in? I know: it's dramatic comedic horror with filthy language.
