December 21, 2015 Lori Acken

WARNING: If you have not watched The Affair Season 2 finale and do not want to know who killed Scott Lockhart, do not ready any further. I’m serious. Not … another … word. That said, no matter which of the likely suspects you had your cash on (unless it was Whitney. Whitney doesn’t drive, people!), odds are good you’re, at least in part, correct. Depending, I guess, on whose version of events you believe. Only one, however, exonerates Noah. We open in the present, where Detective Jeffries has returned to the scene of the crime — the roadside spot with […]

New “House of Cards” Trailer Is The Best Political Commercial Ever

December 18, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Netflix’s House of Cards has released a new trailer teasing the streaming series’ fourth season and it’s a classic. It parodies political commercials that will besiege out TV airwaves in the months leading up to the 2016 election. A montage of faces, flags and freedom dissolve into each other over lines that include, “Putting people over politics.” All it needs is an elderly man saluting a flag and I’d be in tears. But they’d be tears of laughter and joy, because it is SO brilliant — Bravo Netflix. Additional kudos for premiering the commercial during Tuesday’s GOP primary debate on CNN. […]
