"Boardwalk Empire" 1x11: "Paris Green"
(And, as usual, my weekly news round-up.)

Review: Tangled
November 22, 2010
I Make My Own Luck
Another solid episode, with great performances by Jack Huston and Michael Stuhlbarg in particular. Hard to believe there are only two left this season.
"Boardwalk Empire" 1x10: "The Emerald City"
(And here's my weekly news round-up.)

Enjoy Eating Fiber And Watching "The Mentalist"
Another fantastic episode. There were some bumpier patches earlier in the season, but the show's on fire right now.

Everyone In Paris Is Doing It
I get into more detail in the blog, but the bottom line: "Boardwalk Empire" is still a fantastic show. Best new drama of the year, hands down. Consistently exceptional.
"Boardwalk Empire" 1x9: "Belle Femme"
(Here's my weekly news round-up.)

Side Effects: Verbal Dysphasia And Octopus Laws
A perfect episode, packed with humor and great character moments. Easily one of the series' best. Twenty-two minutes of pure joy.

Who Do You Think Lit That Fire?
Another enthralling episode:
"Boardwalk Empire" 1x8: "Hold Me in Paradise"
(And here's my week in review column, too.)

Review: Fair Game
If you've ever wondered if it's possible to make a boring movie about an executive-level cover-up and foreign war, wonder no more.
My White Guilt Is Doing Somersaults
Last night's "Community," if not a classic, was still pretty solid.
