Ringer recap – 1×19: ‘Let’s Kill Bridget!’

March 28, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Ohmygawd y’all! With only a few episodes left, Ringer begins to wrap up some of its storylines, including ones that are stale and boring (Machado! Bodaway!) and tasty fresh (Tyler’s murder! Catherine!).

Let’s bitch it out…

Smash recap – 1×08: ‘The Coup’

There’s a benefit to recapping a show a bit late: you get a taste of what to expect from the reactions of others. To say that the reaction to ‘The Coup,’ the eighth episode of NBC’s Smash, is critical is a bit of an understatement (vehement, disbelieving hatred is probably closer to the truth). Thankfully, going in with below zero expectations made parts of a terrible episode tolerable, so that’s got to be good for something, right?

Lost Girl recap – 1×11: ‘Faetal Justice’

After last week’s “double your succubus, double your fun” episode, I am flying high and ready for the latest adventure of Bo (Anna Silk), Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) and Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried). Alas, the show falters as it begins to establish a routine…

Once Upon A Time recap – 1×17: ‘Hat Trick’

March 25, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of ABC via SpoilerTV.co/uk

The last few episodes of Once Upon A Time have done much to reveal its strengths (the continuing love-challenged relationship between Ginnifer Goodwin’s Snow & Josh Dallas’ Charming, the revisionist take on fairytales, etc) while also highlighting its flaws (telegraphing every upcoming moment, continued ineptness by Jennifer Morrison’s Emma, and – to a certain extent – the continuing love-challenged relationship between Snow and Charming). As the show closes in on the end of the first season, it takes a dramatic formula detour that tantalizes and antagonizes…

Film Review: The Hunger Games

March 25, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

The Hunger Games, the smash literary phenomenon, about a dystopian future in which 24 children fight to the death gets the big screen treatment as Lionsgate aims to kick-start a new franchise. So how does the film fare?

Checking In: I Just Want My Pants Back recap – 1×07-1×10: ‘A Piece of Cake’, ‘Blackout’, ‘Love Equation’, ‘Sextipated’

March 24, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

In anticipation of next week’s season finale, it’s time to check up on the past few episodes of the MTV drama. What began with fourgies and fridge sex has slowly morphed into an amusing, awkward and occasionally painful dramedy about late twenty-somethings.

Let’s bitch out episodes seven through ten… [Read more…]
