Hemlock Grove


We're not sure if I like Netflix's Hemlock Grove yet, but that werewolf transformation in the second episode was pretty great/disgusting.

Dexter will end this year; Jennifer Lawrence; Suburgatory; Mean Girls Musical

Even though Dexter's ratings are awesome, the execs would rather end the story well than milk the cow until it dies. You read that right. Showtime wants Dexter to have an endgame and go out on a high than drag it out. Great news. Also, poor Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter won't have to work with their exes anymore, haha.

Congrats to Jennifer Lawrence for landing the cover of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People edition. That's an honor shared by presidents. We love her to death, but we hope the world doesn't get sick of her. This feels over-the-top and like overexposure. But she IS influential to her generation. As long as she keeps churning out great work and carefully picking movies, she should be fine. It wouldn't kill her to lay low before and after Catching Fire though.

Suburgatory ended its season and has been a wonderful, hilarious show during its run. We hope it gets renewed. It's on the bubble.

In amazing news, Tina Fey has been talking about making Mean Girls into a musical. Can we pre-order tickets yet? Amanda Seyfried wants to play Regina. We don't think she has a "mean girl" singing voice. She sounds like a Disney princess. That's a no from us, but maybe she'll have a better shot at convincing Tina.

Awkward- Season 3, Episodes 1-2

Confession: It's a little harder to like this show now that we don't like Ashley Rickards as much. Call us judgmental, but we think it's crazy for a 20-year-old to have a boob job. Who even knows if she's fully grown yet? We sympathize with people who don't like an important body part (Ern will confess that it's her arms), but wait until you have and breastfeed your babies before you get the balloons!

Game of Thrones, Season 3, Episode 3

Walk of Punishment- This week, we got to see everyone and there was forward movement in nearly every plot. The scene of Tywin's council sitting down was so brilliant and hilarious. We didn't think a scene of people picking seats around Tywin could be so entertaining and revealing. Tyrion dragging the chair across the room and annoying everyone was classic. He definitely deserves to sit at the head of the table.

Movie: The Place Beyond the Pines

This is the best movie we've seen so far this year. The director, who also did Blue Valentine, crafts an emotional, intense movie about family, fate, and mistakes. It's not a crime thriller, as some might believe, but it's engrossing. There are a few things that didn't work (one teenage character's actions didn't feel like something he would spiral into so quickly), and the movie lacks a point to tie everything together. But we really enjoyed it and there was good acting.

Movie grade: A
