Boardwalk Empire Season 4 finale recap: ‘Farewell Daddy Blues’

Give it to Terrence Winter. Even when he takes a season of Boardwalk Empire to help us truly loathe some of his characters and have us yearning for them to get theirs, he reminds us that even the violence we now expect to solve our TV problems is far from a neat clean thing.

Chalky White (Michael Kenneth Williams) came face-to-face with the cold reality of the collateral damage of such […]

The Miley Cyrus birthday event looks to be another popular addition to what MTV, in a release, calls “the MTV/Miley collective,” and certainly some of the performer’s most famous and infamous moments of this past year […]
