Film Review: San Andreas

Let me just start off by saying this, San Andreas is a fucking awesome movie! Whew, I feel good that I’ve gotten that out onto the page and now we can move past cursing and exclamation points. San Andreas represents all that is wonderful about the summer blockbuster season: characters you can root for, crazy spectacle, and most importantly, elements that allow you to commune with it in pure ways. Cinema can do many things, but first and foremost, it must entertain.

If I Had an Emmy Ballot…the Best of the 2013-2014 TV Season

Have you all had a chance to check out the Emmy ballots? You should have by now consdering they were released last week 🙂 Anyways, it has come time to discuss the best of TV in the 2013-2014 season, as my summer loves True Blood and Teen Wolf are going to start the new season off this coming week. When I think about what the 2013-2014 season gave to us, it’s pretty clear that the year was one of the broadest ranges of television viewers had to choose from. I think that I watched a grand total of 25 TV shows this year in their entirety (be that 22 or less episodes) which meant narrowing down the fields took forever. There are several shows such as The Good Wife or Veep that coasted to easy wins in their categories, but just as many areas that I had to really think about the choices. Category fraud also came into some play because though the Emmys might see it one way (ALL the maids in Devious Maids are lead?! True Detective as a drama series?) I was left with spaces to fill and harsh decisions to make.
