Blood. Margarine. Tears. Seduction. All in an episode’s work! “The Better Half,” was an unexpectedly morbid hour of shenanigans. I mean, never would I have taken Peggy for a murderer (kidding, of course), and since when is Betty the center of attention? And does the market …
I. Love. Greta. Gerwig. She stole my heart in Greenberg, where like Frances Ha, she plays an awkward, funny 20-something. And in her latest collaboration with director Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale), whom she actually wrote the screenplay with, her one-of-a-kind quirk has never …
Before I ramble on about The Iceman, let me just preface that I had absolutely no idea what this movie was about upon stepping foot in the theater. So when it finally dawned on me that this was in fact a true story, about a man who hid …
I was a little bit scared while watching “The Crash,” partially because everyone was on speed (even Game of Thrones seemed tame compared to this week’s Mad Men!), but mostly because the entire time I was worried Don was going to have a heart attack. Oh, and Grandma …

“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.” —Carl Sagan, The Demon Haunted World Reading a book by Carl Sagan leaves one mystified with all of the wonderment (and terribleness!) in the universe, while somehow finding some hope through all of …
“You’re mine and I’m yours. If we die, we die. But first: we’ll live,” –Ygritte Sometimes all it takes to love a character is for someone else onscreen to fall in love with them. I’ve never been Jon Snow’s biggest fan, but Game of Thrones is a …
