A New Documentary Explores the Impact of Black History Month
With its origins dating back to 1926, Black History Month has served as a national observance of the history of African American culture. Originally referred to as “Negro History Week” by historian Carter G. Woodson, there has been [...]
“American Horror Story” vs. “Supernatural”: Who’s Scarier?
Best Scary TV Shows: “American Horror Story” vs. “Supernatural”
I’ve never been a huge fan of horror movies. I was one of those kids who was scared by the “Thriller” music video instead of amused by its campiness, and while other kids in middle school were excitedly talking about their [...]
“Off the Map”: Television Review
As with most of the TV shows I end up being an ardent fan of, I was lukewarm about ABC’s midseason, jungle medical drama, “Off the Map,” when I saw it advertised. The show boasts plenty of eye candy with Martin Henderson as Dr. Benjamin “Ben” Keeton, giving McDreamy a run [...]
“Jersey Shore” Cast’s Literary Aspirations: A Shore Thing, Rules According to JWOWW, Here’s the Situation

There’s a commonality among the folks who tirelessly attend conventions and renaissance festivals, an energy and enthusiasm that I simply do not possess – not just with regard to costumes and role play, [...]
Twenty years ago, a show on ABC called “Twin Peaks” redefined the possibilities of serial drama with its aching, painstaking and, unfortunately, prematurely answered question, “Who killed Laura Palmer?” It also helped launch the careers of several young actors, including Lara Flynn Boyle, David Duchovny, Billy Zane, and Heather Graham.
One of the strangest productions to [...]
Fox’s hit musical dramedy “Glee” came back for its season two premiere on September 21st after a three month hiatus. Since its pilot episode in May 2009, “Glee” has been giving TV audiences an experience like no other. Last season, the show brought the world of musical theatre to a mass audience with the help [...]
