How is Nathan Stewart-Jarrett going to feel as the "old" misfit in the next season? (I'd have moved on.)

Upstairs Downstairs (2010): Season 1
The trouble with following up a beloved television series is that there is little chance you will be equal (or better) to the task.

Warehouse 13: Season 2
This show would be stellar if only there was better chemistry between those leads. Separately they're pretty great.

Warehouse 13: Season 1
Not at all surprised that Allison Scagliotti graduated to permanent cast member in Season 2. Maybe because of stuff like this: "I'll give it an 8.5, but next time you gotta stick the landing."

The Woman in Black
There is zero subtlety to this horror flick. No wonder Radcliffe has so little to work with.

Poetry
A Girl with a Pearl Earring was to Vermeer painted on the screen as Shi is to all forms of poetry, spoken and unspoken, and as layered as you want to dig.

Trust
Yes, the subject matter is horrifying. Yes, the film could be a lot less teachy and preachy and obvious.

Inside Job
Carl Levin may be my new hero. (Wait, he kind of already was.)

Sarfarosh
Wet t-shirts, jitterbugging, flower eating. One of the stranger, more serious (yea, actually) Bollywood movies ever.

The Triumph of the Nerds: The Rise of Accidental Empires
We miss you, Steve Jobs: "The thing about Microsoft is, they have no taste. And I don't mean that in a small way."

Brave
This is a wee little film by Pixar standards.

30 Rock: Season 4
This is the show that makes me say "what?!" at the TV almost every 5 seconds.

The Lost Prince
I'm finding it pretty hard to believe this has won numerous awards. Sleep-inducing, that's what I found it.

Cranford: Season 1 & Special
Those final two (special) episodes were some of the noodliest plot-finagling I've ever seen. But, the original 5 episodes rank right up there with the best of British romantic drama.
