Sometimes you just have to get back to basics.
Madam Secretary Season 3 Episode 12 returned to the shows roots by paring down to just two stories, one of which saw the State Department team take a trip to Africa. Henry and Elizabeth both got to do what they do best, with little outside distractions. It was pure bliss.
Elizabeth's mission had pretty low stakes, no matter what Daisy thought. Nobody other than the foreign affairs committee and policy wonks were going to care about the success of that trip. Voters just really don't care about wind farms in Nigeria, even if the Chinese snake the project.
That doesn't make Elizabeth's maneuverings any less impressive. And sometimes getting a win for yourself and your ideals is more important than getting one for the crowd.
Besides it was nice to not have any life or death matters hanging over the teams head for once.

In the six years since Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, was first introduced to us in 2010, her character has become one of the more fascinating people in the McU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). Thanks to her magnetic performances, and strong, subtle writing, Black Widow's backstory is simultaneously mysterious and emotionally relevant to where we find her these days.
As it turns out, there was going to be a little more revealed about her in Captain America: Civil War, but it ended up not making it into the film.
A scene from the junior novelization of the Marvel epic that took the world by storm earlier this year reveals one extremely troubling event from Romanoff's past. Here's an excerpt from the scene in question:
Natasha studied Cap's expression of resolve. Finally, she said, "In Russia, in the Red Room, there were dozens of us. All girls, all young. We lived together.

So, as strange as it may sound, Feed the Beast Season 1 Episode 9 feels a little bit like an episode of Maury Povich. It's all about fathers – the good, the bad, and the murdering.
"Be My Baby" begins with a flashback to the day Tj was born. Unfortunately, the hazy, golden happiness that Tommy has always associated with the day he became a father is starting to fade.
Watch Feed the Beast Season 1 Episode 9 Online
After doing the math regarding when Dion and Rie started sleeping together, Tommy is beginning to suspect that he isn't actually Tj's father – so much so that he orders a home paternity test!
Needless to say, I couldn't help but laugh out loud as I pictured Maury sitting across from dour David Schwimmer, preparing to ominously reveal whether or not Tommy is, in fact, Tj's father.

December 19th marks 35 years since the release of 9 to 5, the cult comedy that brought together Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin with Dolly Parton in her film debut as Miss Doralee Rhodes, a kind-hearted secretary who fantasizes about lassoing her "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot" boss and roasting him on a spit.

Caitlyn Jenner picked up the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at this year's Espy Awards. The onetime decathlete gave a thorough, enlightening speech about her own experiences as a transgender woman, some statistics concerning suicide and safety among transgender youth, and advocacy for acceptance. Considering Jenner admits she only met another transgender person for the first time months ago, it's especially rad that she's seized the opportunity to be a visible advocate for the transgender community. Unfortunately, some folks on Twitter can't quite wrap their heads around the idea that Jenner is "brave" and deserving of a courage-themed trophy. They made themselves known. Shoot I'd rather that little girl Leah who battled with cancer get the Arthur Ashe award than Bruce Jenner. #Espys — LeStank James (@HisStankness) July 16, 2015 Caitlyn isn't suffering from a life-threatening disease, so she must not be brave. Right. People change their genders everyday. What makes Caitlyn Jenner brave?...

You've got a bunch of people who can teleport, read minds, and use telekinesis, and it was only a matter of time before they got a little too close to the sacred sci-fi trilogy that defined a nation's idea of just what magic powers could be.

On the latest Lifetime original movie offering, Natasha Henstridge is her "Sister's Nightmare," playing a "criminally insane" woman named Cassidy who shot and killed her husband and almost drowned their infant over a decade ago.

Many fans aren’t pleased with the decision to cast Megan Fox as April O’Neil in Michael Bay’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot. And while the actress is known for her controversial quotes and sexy physique, Fox can definitely pull off the role of the Turtles’ sidekick. Here’s why I think Fox is the right choice.
First: Put aside the images you have of her as a pouty pinup leaning of the hood of a car, and remember the scene in Transformers when she says to Bumblebee “I’ll drive, you shoot.” The girl gets involved. She...

It's difficult for people of my generation to separate GoldenEye the film from GoldenEye the computer game. The 1997 Nintendo shoot-em-up was so aggressively brilliant it had its own pandemic addiction dream: everything pixelated and seen beyond the jutting snout of an Ak-47 assault rifle. I suffered from it, on and off, for months; I know others did too. But for a moment let's pretend GoldenEye the game never existed – take yourself, gamers of the late 90s, to that dark place.

With Pooja Misrra, the soul of Bigg Boss 5, out of the House for an alleged assault on co-contestant Siddharth Bhardwaj, one wonders if the shocking development will hamper the TRPs of India’s biggest reality show on Colors.
Pooja Missra, who was considered to be the best entertainer of this year’s season, was apparently removed (‘aapko nishkasit karte hai’ – as Bigg Boss would say) for physically pushing Siddharth Bhardwaj on the show. Siddharth, who is the winner of an earlier reality show Splitsvilla, is reported to have blown the situation out of proportion and demanded her exit, after which Bigg Boss decided to show Pooja the door.
One of the many rules to be followed strictly by all the contestants is to never attack anyone physically. Pooja Misrra, the rebel of the house and the House Captain for the week, was surrounded by controversies galore right from day one on Bigg Boss.

Hey, little piggies! Is everyone ready to pull back the shower curtain on the latest episode of American Horror Story? Careful - there's a big bad Persian Armenian wolf set to blow the house down and an undead housekeeper set to blow - well, I'm getting ahead of myself.
We start the episode, as usual, in a flashback. Constance (Jessica Lange) is crying in front of a crackling fire. Speaking of fire, a pre-burn Larry the Burn Man (Denis O'Hare) walks in and hangs up the phone behind her. She tells him that they're charging her with criminal child neglect or something like that - is she talking about Tate shooting up his school?
She makes an offhand reference to the child in question, noting, "Now you know how he is when he's not supervised" and mentions a name - Carl? Gal? Bowl? Damn you and your Old Dominion whispering,...

More humans and supernaturals than not spent Sunday's sixth episode of "True Blood" Season Four possessed, be it through spells, curses or the fickle desires of their hearts. With such enchantments, we see a glimpse at the characters' true natures, and it's not always pretty. "I Wish I Was the Moon" kept the momentum of the season going strong and finally balanced the story's weirdness, which has largely replaced its goriness, with a touch of tenderness. But with possession as a theme, joining the show's favorites of nature and control, everyone is inevitably in for a bout of heartache.
Tommy's case may be the most worrisome. By killing his parents in Episode Five, Tommy brought on the Skinwalker curse Luna explained previously this season: He now can shift into people, not just animals. Of all the "True Blood" denizens, he may be the worst to have this ability, other than Debbie Pelt.

Throw in True Blood‘s Kevin Alejandro as their cocky, womanizing league-mate Hercules “Tornado” Maldanado and you’ve got the makings of TV’s next great sitcom.

She’s new, she’s the re-re-reader. She’s the nubile newbie, she’s the spoilery vet. Together they’re g-mashin’ George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones and getting their Pov on. Today they react to Chapter 24- Bran.

This chapter starts off with a slap in our face about Bran’s condition—his little brother running in the yard with the three wolves left at Winterfell, and Bran watching from above, never able to do the same again ever.
I’m interested in the fact that the wolves are looking differently now that they’re growing older. Are their appearances meant to be in some way reflective of the Stark with whom they are connected? I am not sure what a black wolf with green fire for eyes says about the man Rickon will become, or the silver and smoke about Bran, but the “yellow gold...

Big Love comes back January 16, and with it, a terrifically chic bob for Chloe Sevigny. Oh, and drama! So much drama. Can’t you hear the pounding drums? It’s like a Battlestar Galactica scene in this promo:
While this does indeed look intense, my favorite parts of Big Love aren’t the showdowns between Bill’s family and the residents of Juniper Creek. I vastly prefer the relatively simple day-to-day dramas within the Hendrickson family. Give me Ben’s crush on Margene, or Sarah’s unplanned pregnancy, or any sniping between Barb and Nikki. Spare me the evil fertility clinic on the compound.

After Benry's blindside, Fabio is a little concerned about not knowing what is going on. Rightly so, as Sash talking-heads that Fabio is next if he doesn't win Immunity. Sash is possibly getting the Hubris Edit, because he thinks he's in complete control of the game. And maybe he is. Or maybe I'll be interviewing him tomorrow morning.
Reward Challenge
They jump right into the reward with a Sprint phone that has videos of their families on it. This product placement is annoying but it seems pretty small potatoes in the face of that "Gulliver's Travels" nonsense a few weeks ago. After seeing the videos, one question really springs to mind -- do you think he got teased a lot about his hot mom growing up?
The loved ones show up at the challenge: Chase's mom Connie, Fabio's mom Ann, Sash's mom Leigh, Dan's son Matthew, Jane's daughter Ashley and Holly's husband Charlie.

Bristol Palin and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino were arguably some of the worst dancers on tonight’s Dancing With the Stars, but we can’t kick them off…they’re the most entertaining parts of the whole show!
Although Bristol Palin and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino were some of the worst dancers in the second episode of Dancing With the Stars Sept. 27, here are six reasons why they shouldn’t get voted off the show any time in the near future:
I love hearing Bristol Palin being called an “activist.” Spare me! She’s a teen who got pregnant out of wedlock and totally regrets it. Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is endearing. I can’t believe I just said that, but it’s true! I’m pulling for the kid. He’s really trying hard…unlike Brandy who has a terrible attitude and can’t take blame if her life depends on it.

Every season on Project Runway, we all eagerly await the group challenge, that reliable supplier of above-average drama. Designers clash, egos are bruised, and someone gets thrown under the Greyhound. But even after the past few weeks’ steady unveiling of Gretchen’s wench within, I wasn’t expecting this season’s group challenge to deliver such a knockout punch of mayhem. For the first time, I appreciated the 90-minute format because it allowed for an extended judging session that revealed, in detail, the molten hot evil bubbling inside the string bean–limbed narcissist from Oregon. And Tim’s impassioned smackdown...

Today is the day that a select group of Criterion loyalists have been anxiously awaiting for nearly a year now – or more precisely, since September 15, 2009. Those of you who recognize the 15th of each month primarily as “Criterion Upcoming Release Announcement Day” may remember last September’s Criterion news release a bit more clearly than some of the months before or since. It was the day that our favorite DVD publishers unveiled their plans to make the Ak 100: 25 Films by Akira Kurosawa super-deluxe box set their one and only new product for the following December.
That set off a storm of protest from those who were expecting something more, or perhaps different, or at least more affordable than the nearly $400 Srp behemoth that housed 25 films by the venerable Akira Kurosawa in honor of the centenary of his birth, including twenty that had already been released as regular Criterion DVDs...

Wild Grass is going to get the elusive micro-review treatment on this day. The 104 minute French flick from director Alain Resnais deserves nothing more or less. Foreign films are always tough to convey to prospective audiences. Without question, the novel in which this feature was adapted from, is probably worth the read. When I say worth, I mean entertaining. As a movie, this does not have the pedigree to entertain.
Georges Palet (Andre' Dussollier) is a complex man. We don't know why, but it is obvious that he has a screw loose somewhere. He has a beautiful home and wife (Anne Consigny). They have two kids in their twenties and all seems well. Palet finds a wallet in the parking garage and sees it belongs to a Marguerite Muir (Sabine Azema). He becomes obsessed with returning it to her. Finally, he goes to the local...

Wendy Crewson has joined the cast of "Winnie" opposite Terrence Howard and Jennifer Hudson as Nelson and Winnie Mandela. Crewson ("The Santa Clause") will play activist Mary Botha who becomes a social worker after witnessing a brutal assault on a black youth. Equinoxe Films' biopic is helmed by Darrell Roodt and being produced by Michael Mosca of Euinoxe Films and Andre Piererse of Iron Wood Film. Filming will take place in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Robbin Island. Spare me. Another film focusing on past events. How about covering one in current South Africa where, if you can afford ot, an electric fence surrounds your home.

Oops, Miley Cyrus has done it again. And again. After simulating a kiss with a female backup dancer June 3 on Britain’s Got Talent, the 17-year-old was photographed June 5 in another (faux?) liplock while performing at the club G-a-y, “London’s largest gay and Lesbian party,” which has hosted Madonna, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Björk, Lady Gaga, and the Spice Girls. On June 6, she got up close and personal at the Rock in Rio festival (pictured). In between, on June 4, Cyrus took to her official blog to defend her Bgt performance. Let’s pretend for a moment that Miley couldn...

Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. Me? I say in reality television. I mean, how can a reality show called Conveyor Belt of Love be a sign of anything but the end times?
But there it is, sitting in ABC’s lineup next year. But wait, what’s this show about? As the title so succinctly suggests, 30 men will roll out on a conveyor belt in front of five women and get one minute to make a positive impression. So now, picking your date is as easy as picking your favorite maki roll at the sushi boat place down the street. Yay, technology!
This is a real thing, people — a real thing in this world. Sometimes I wish dolphins were the ones given opposable thumbs.
The show, set to air Jan. 4, will follow the season premiere of The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love.

What is the difference between Roman Polanski and a Catholic priest child abuser? A Roman collar and an extraordinary media bias, I'd say. Polanksi raped a 13-year-old child in 1976 and fled to France. Many priests in the U.S., mainly Irish Americans, sadly, around that time were doing the same thing. Polanski fled to Europe and was feted. The priest abusers were covered up for by bishops and cardinals. Eventually that edifice came tumbling down and the church has suffered the horrific consequences since – and deservedly so. Not Mr. Polanski, who has gone on to win an Oscar and become a European cause célèbre in the intervening years. When he was arrested in Switzerland the outrage was palpable. How dare they arrest a child rapist! One wonders would the same cast of characters who decided his arrest have felt the same if it was a priest who was taken into custody on child rape charges?...

Here’s another review from the Toronto International Film Festival—of a film I actually liked this time! Michael Stuhlbarg in A Serious Man. Can I make a confession? I’m not usually a fan of things that are super Jewish. Jewish I like. In fact, Jewish I love! My list of Jewish cultural heroes ranges from Franz Kafka to Bob Dylan to Sarah Silverman, with about a bazillion stops in between. But super-Jewish stories about shtetls and magic-realist rabbis—all that Fiddler on the Roof crap? Meh! I’m Irish American, with my own schmaltzy ancestral pseudohistory to mythologize, feel guilty about, and feel superior for overcoming. Spare me the Nathan Englander routine. I don’t need another nightmare to wake up from. Prejudices are made to be renounced, though. For example, just when I swore I’d never willingly sit through another exigesis of the cultural dislocations of the 60s,...
