Making the Rounds at General Hospital: Johnny's Trial Begins

Connie Phillips — Thu, 4 Sep 2008 17:49:47 EDT

Johnny's trial is set to begin and Jax returns to Carly's arms.
Thanks to Robin Kavanagh for taking over recaps this past summer.This week's General Hospital focused on Johnny's upcoming trial. Thank goodness Claudia finally figured out the truth – that it was Lulu who wielded the knife in Logan's gut and not Johnny. Now the question becomes what will she do with that knowledge when she's...

TV Recap: Project Runway - Season Five, Episode Seven

Brandy — Tue, 2 Sep 2008 18:05:46 EDT

No product placement here! Our designers tear apart some Saturns in hopes of designing a garment that will rev the judges' motors.
Last time on Bravo TV’s Project Runway, our designers catered to some larger than life ladies. Joe’s client ate up his glittery pink pantsuit, and he won the challenge. Daniel’s lady looked sad in a lemony sorbet chiffon, and he went home. This week’s episode begins with a heapin’ helpin’ of Kenley Collins BS. ...

TV Review: My Boys Wrap-Up

Mary K. Williams — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 21:50:34 EDT

My Boys has been able to incorporate comic timing, genuinely funny writing, and apt characterization into a funny half-hour show.
And just like that, it’s over. My Boys’ finale aired on August 7* on TBS, wrapping up at least the first half of their sophomore season**. Set among the gorgeous vineyards of California, this two part episode was literally a breath of fresh air. Not that downtown Chicago doesn’t rock but this Simi Valley scenery was wonderful. ...

TV Recap: Project Runway - Season Five, Episode Five

Brandy — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 12:39:26 EDT

It's a Lipstick Jungle inside Parsons. Designers battle for a chance to dress TV's Brooke Shields.
Another morning in New York City. This time the sky is a greenish gold. A quick, establishing shot of a newsstand. And... please no. Not the same freaking Elle magazine cover... Aagggh! No! Yes! It is the same perplexing issue of Elle magazine we have been shown in the opening montage of every Project Runway episode this season. The other New York...

TV Recap: Project Runway - Season Five, Episode Six

Brandy — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:16:11 EDT

Chris March and RuPaul tell our designers they better work, or the results could be a real drag.
Who’s more of a diva than the Statue of Liberty? She crossed the ocean at a young age to become a star known the world over. Girlfriend’s remained fierce for over a century, but doesn’t look her age. Sure, she’s had some ‘work’ done, but you can’t really tell. Her robe? Classic. Her stance is all about...

TV Review: Supernatural - "All Hell Breaks Loose, Part I"

Alice Jester — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 10:43:03 EDT

The title is dead on. The Winchesters get themselves into a huge mess of trouble.
Okay, all that virtual arm twisting has paid off. Upon request, I pulled out the season two DVDs (okay, I picked them up from their reserved spot next to the TV) and took on two of the most gut-wrenching episodes done on this show. "All Hell Breaks Loose" is right. Before I go on with the review though, I have a small follow-up from...

TV Recap: Project Runway - Season Five, Episode Four

Brandy — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 18:26:54 EDT

Our designers are challenged to create sportswear for U.S. Olympic athletes. All I can say is: Ohno.
Well it’s the fourth episode of season five. Project Runway has sent three designers home. So far, the rest have managed to bore or annoy viewers - or both at the same time. A neat trick but not what we’ve tuned in to this fashion competition hoping to see. Will this episode see designers substitute passion for pedantry, substance for...

TV Recap: Eureka - "Best in Faux"

NancyGail — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 10:38:09 EDT

While Allison faces her upcoming wedding, Jack must deal with the town explosions.
Another day in a small town. Unless, of course, you happen to be Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson), Eureka's sheriff. Being the highest member of law enforcement tends to mean you are the first person found during times of crisis. It also involves dealing with members of the public who are quick to let loose when they have some sort of problem. Put...

TV Recap: Supernatural - "Jus In Bello"

Alice Jester — Fri, 8 Aug 2008 09:26:08 EDT

It's Dean Winchester's finest hour. The same can't be said about the whole episode.
Boy, did I get an interesting one for what turns out to be the only season three episode I have left to review. "Jus In Bello" is a highly buzzed episode from seasoned writer Sera Gamble, and it ended up being one of the highest rated of the season. As much great action, drama, and character display this episode had though, it...

TV Recap: Project Runway Season Five, Episode Three

Brandy — Mon, 4 Aug 2008 22:50:16 EDT

Tim Gunn's vocabulary is corrupted. Sandra Bernhard is nothing without you. The designers get wet, and somebody goes home.
“Bright lights, big city. Gone to mah bay-bee’s head”... It’s the beginning of a blues song, the title of a bad novel, and of this episode of Project Runway, the hit TV fashion/game show. The episode begins at dusk - or dawn, hard to tell with all the smog - in New York City. So, big city but this morning, no bright...
