I hope you didn't watch the Oscars. Because if you did, this movie is ruined for you.

Dredd
The only interesting thing about this paltry story of special effects is the guns that are whatever you want them to be on spoken command.

Homeland: Season 1
I can't decide if this show is a showcase for the tit-for-tat that is the international spying game, or a basic thriller with a bad message for the American people.

Downton Abbey: Season 3
Julian Fellowes must have had a mini-heart attack when both actors asked to leave the show.

Pather Panchali
When the critics only tell you something is a classic, but not why it's a classic, beware.

Wallander: Series 3
I think they may be coming to the end of all they want to do. Episode 2, "The Dogs of Riga", was just awful.

Argo
In-jokes that work! Politically relevant! Tense and suspenseful! Affleck has hit one out of the park.

Les Misérables
Jackman was good, Crowe was meh, but Hathaway was miraculous.

Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead
It's an infomercial with a real impact.

The gremlins were an inspired addition.

Being Human (UK series): Season 4
I thought they'd not be able to create a character more charming than Mitchell, but this season? It's almost better than all the others.

Hotel Transylvania
I just don't remember liking to be scared when I was kid. Times, they have changed.

Beasts of the Southern Wild
Something this poetic and magical winning Best Picture? Dreaming, we are.

Zero Dark Thirty
I wonder if Chastain got to meet her CIA counterpart, deep cover notwithstanding.
