Middle of the Row – The Podcast: 186 – Goon Is Still Good Enough

HST 2014 in Review: Movies

A week or two has passed now since most sites have posted their end of the year write-ups, and I still find myself debating what to put on my movie list. After much self degradation I have finally come to terms with the fact that my list will be nothing like that of the Oscar’s […]

TV Without Commercials: The Newsroom 2.3-2.7

It took more than three quarters of the season to learn why everyone on the News Night staff has been getting interrogated by the mean spirited lawyer lady, but now we finally know the truth. It’s not the Genoa story that’s making them seek legal council, it’s Jerry Dantana.

TV Without Commercials: The Newsroom 2.3

This week’s episode of The Newsroom was a perfect example of Aaron Sorkin’s ability to make you connect with his characters in a way most writers can only hope to accomplish.

TV Without Commercials: The Newsroom 2.1 & 2.2

I don’t know about everyone else but last week’s premiere of the second season of The Newsroom, left me feeling afraid and utterly disappointed. When it was all said and done, all that came to mind was what happened to my show? This week’s episode erased all of those feelings and doubts, and made it clear that The […]

TV Without Commercials: Newsroom Season 1 Finale

The beginning of a new school year always lets us know that summer is officially over. For those of us who aren’t in school, we know that it’s over when we watch the season finales of our favorite summer TV shows. The Season Finale of Newsroom was magnificent and was a perfect way to end the first […]

TV Without Commercials: Newsroom 1.8

I think that I should start out by saying that overall I really liked this episode. I thought it was one of the better episodes of this season but breaking the episode into two parts is just unnecessary.

TV Without Commercials: Newsroom 1.6 &1.7

Alright alright, I have to get this out of the way first, and spoiler alert for anyone who missed last night’s Newsroom but Osama Bin Laden is dead. The navy seals killed him and President Barak Obama addressed the nation on May 1st, 2011. Appropriately, this week’s episode was entitled “5/1” and was a very obvious […]

TV Without Commercials: Newsroom 1.5

Who would’ve thought, looking back to almost a year and a half ago that there would not only be the chaos taking place in Egypt but also the protesting going on in Wisconsin, oh and I almost forgot, all of this was going on right around Valentine’s Day! Aaron Sorkin demonstrates for us once again […]

TV Without Commercials: Newsroom 1.4

In this week’s episode of Newsroom entitled “I’ll Try to Fix You” was full of consistency. Neil was always trying to pitch his ideas on Big Foot, the relationship between Maggie and Jim (and Will and Mackenzie…kind of) was getting tenser and tenser and Will was consistently getting drinks thrown in his face by beautiful women.
