Oz the Great and Powerful

Of all the ridiculous things in this movie, it's the unthinking laudation of Edison that really gets my goat.

Arrested Development: Season 4

Once you catch on, it's more fun, but I don't remember the previous seasons being so exhausting to watch.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Season 3

Precisely as in ST:TNG, season 3 is when things start to come together. Why oh why does it take so long, though?

Doctor Who: Season 22

That rock-n-roll DJ with the fake American accent (in "Revelation of the Daleks") harkens back to "Pirate Planet" and the best of the first Baker.

Dexter: Season 7

I can't wait for next season. At least we'll be done with all the excuses. (The rest I'll miss.)

Savages

Stone can make a B-movie look like a B-movie with cojones. And I sure hope the chosen title is ironic.

Ruby Sparks

This standard love story cum explanation of a love story revealed far more when I realized who the writer was.

Damsels in Distress

They think they've made a farce because it's obnoxious and irrational. It also needs to be a lot less bemusing.
