08 Nov 2009 16:00:00 PST

Written by asepinwall@starledger.com (Alan Sepinwall)
In today's column, I continue to sing the praises of "Sons of Anarchy," which has a sensational episode coming up tomorrow night:There’s been a lot of talk lately about how setting an end date can be a shot in the arm to a drama series. “Lost,” “The Shield” and “Battlestar Galactica” all took...

JBO: Joystiq Box Office, November 2 - November 6

06 Nov 2009 17:30:00 PST

Written by Kevin Kelly
Vic Mackey isn't the first hardass cop to come down the line and smack miscreants into place, but he's definitely one of the most effective and most memorable.

Dexter: Remains to Be Seen

05 Oct 2009 00:47:00 PDT

Written by Danny Gallagher

Blu-Ray Review: The Machinist

Opinion: Big Round of Applause for THE SHIELD

26 Dec 2008 19:28:00 PST

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Mindy)
I don't know who to pity the most when it ended --- Shane, Ronnie or Vic. But hooray for Claudette and Dutch! Though I found Claudette a bit self-righteous even from the beginning, it just fits how these two very clever and highly capable detectives were crucial to the fall of the Strike Team.

How ‘The Shield’ Changed Cable TV

29 Aug 2008 18:25:10 PDT
