HOMELAND [Season 5 Premiere Review]: Separation Anxiety.

After the tumultuous, yet meandering third season and the shock ending to the fourth season, Homeland viewers might be forgiven for thinking the show unable to maintain that same momentum; maybe so far as expecting an inevitable downward slide in quality that most good shows experience in their life-times... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yBHxsTnIXg Instead, Homeland has managed to …

JUSTICE LEAGUE – THRONE of ATLANTIS [Review]: Quite the ‘Entourage’!

Aquaman, the ineffectual laughing stock who merely talks to fish is no more. In his place we have the bad-ass Aquaman he's always deserved to be seen as. Fans of the king of Atlantis can rejoice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvyYUeghvmU In Justice League: Throne of Atlantis, Warner Bros./DC continue in their fine tradition of (almost) full-length animated features …
