Major Crimes Creator Previews "Trial By Fire"

First, an apology! I left you last week promoting the wrong episode. This Monday night is NOT the Santa flash mob; it is, I'm afraid, a much darker story, as one would expect when the narrative revolves around the theme of unfulfilled hopes.



"Trial By Fire," (it's first few moments excepted) begins in a courtroom and objectively explores the finite limits of our justice system. Those of you who follow this blog know how fascinated I am by our civilization's orderly attempt to deal with injury and conflict resolution....

The Fear Monger: This Babadook Collectible Is The Best Thing Ever

Good day, horror fans. It was not the best week for releases on any front... unless you wanted to count the horrors of biblical history featured in Ridley Scott's Exodus: Gods and Kings.

So leave it to the Sony Pictures hack to shed some light on what's really going on behind the ...
