Queer Eye Reunion airs Oct. 20 on Bravo

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy fans, can you believe it’s been ten years since the show’s “Fab Five” — food guy Ted Allen, grooming guy Kyan Douglas, design guy Thom Filicia, fashion guy Carson Kressley and culture guy Jai Rodriguez — first raced off in their trusty SUV to turn an everyday schlub into a style-savvy gentleman? And made “tszuj-ing” a must-do for guys and gals alike? Now Bravo is reuniting the cast of the Emmy-winning show (which shortened its name to Queer Eye in Season 3) for the first time since the 2007 series finale. Queer Eye Reunion: 10 Years Later will premiere Sunday, Oct.

Homeland Season 3 recap: Episode 3 – “Tower of David”

Homeland Season 3 recap: Episode 3 – “Tower of David” After not seeing Brody (Damian Lewis) in the first two episodes of Homeland Season 3, we finally got a big dose of him in last night’s third episode of the season, “Tower of David.” The episode was a fairly claustrophobic one for the show, keeping us, for the most part, in Brody’s new location, while occasionally interspersing this with Carrie’s (Claire Danes) similar predicament still a resident of the psychiatric hospital. We see Brody first, and he’s been through hell. He’s in Venezuela, the next leg of his escape journey, but things […]

World Cup qualifier: Mexico vs Costa Rica on Telemundo

Mexico kept its World Cup hopes alive last Friday with a thrilling win over Panama, courtesy of Raul Jimenez’s spectacular bicycle kick goal, and now goes to Costa Rica’s National Stadium in San Jose, where a draw with Costa Rica (which has already obtained one of the direct berths in the 2014 World Cup) would guarantee Mexico fourth place in the Hexagonal and a berth in the World Cup playoff against New Zealand next month. A win, along with some help from Jamaica in defeating Honduras, might even help get Mexico to Brazil 2014 directly. The Mexico vs Costa Rica […]

Boardwalk Empire Season 4 Episode 6 recap: ‘The North Star’

Sex can be two strangely opposite things: an act of furious life-affirmation and ultimate trust, on one hand, and, on another, a weapon wielded in acts of betrayal and weakness. Our two favorite Atlantic City gangsters Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) and Chalky White (Michael K. Williams) staked out both ends of the spectrum in last night’s Boardwalk Empire on HBO. Kelly Macdonald returned, making her first appearance last night as Nucky’s estranged wife Margaret. She agrees to an awkward meeting at Penn Station while Nucky waits for a train to Tampa. She is hesitant to share much about her life […]

The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 1 recap: ‘30 Days Without An Accident’

Fans of AMC’s The Walking Dead have been readying themselves for a whole new world at the prison ever since we watched the busload of Woodbury residents arrive at the end of Season 3. Some six months later, what a world it is — comparatively speaking, anyway. Solid steps back toward civilization. The Rick-tator (Andrew Lincoln) — brought to the brink by the brutality of his new reality and its effect on him and his family — is now Farmer Grimes with pens of ponies and piglets and thriving vegetable gardens. He’s also refusing to carry a gun, throwing one […]
