Normally I would not make my preview, predictions or wishlists about the TV Movie/Miniseries categories for the 2014 Emmy Nominations, but then I watched Fargo and I decided I would cover this field because I loved Fargo so much. But then I realized that I watched hardly any other miniseries, and the only TV movie I watched was...

Not many people are forgetful or patient enough to age a bottle of beer for five years.  Luckily, I happen to be a little of both, no matter what my wife tells you about the whole patience thing and the new/exciting expletives I invent during video game play.  On the label of Goose Island's high(er) end beers, it is...

You have to give this kid credit he has a huge set of balls. He also has a small bag of them. He heads to Chatham one of the roughest sections in England and asks random strangers if they would like to see his balls. No one is safe from this prankster’s wrath. He harasses policemen, security guards and even...

But the Emmy categorization isn’t really conducive to honoring animated shows in the same way...

In The Internet's Own Boy, director Brian Knappenberger has captured the work of a genius, Aaron Swartz, and along with this important story of a man’s life, makes a statement on society, government’s failure to protect the civil rights of citizens and provides information that wasn’t part of the headlines over Swartz’s arrest and death. There are...

How to Train Your Dragon 2, like its predecessor, is not concerned with pop-culture spoofiness or all-around goofiness. Instead, it is all about the storytelling, and every element that is worth recommending about it comes through in said storytelling. Now that Hiccup (Jay Baruchel, using his nasally whine to precise effect) has convinced his father and the...

The 2014 Emmy nominations will be announced on July 10, with the ceremony then taking place on August 25. Below are my wish lists and predictions of the likely actual nominees in the drama category... Outstanding Drama Series: Wishlist: I love dreams; Hannibal is a dream, in all the best senses of that word. Mad Men was never overly concerned...
