Argo

<i>Argo</i>

For those people with lingering questions about Ben Affleck’s talents as a filmmaker, Argo should remove any doubt. The actor has now directed a trio of hard-working, blood-pumping dramas—his latest joins Gone Baby Gone and The Town—covering serious subjects like kidnapping and foreign affairs with a vitality that’d too often missing from Hollywood today.

Argo looks like a smaller undertaking, plays like a big Hollywood movie and succeeds despite the hundreds of...  read more

Community Review: "Biology 101" (3.1)

<em>Community</em> Review: "Biology 101" (3.1)

The end of Community‘s second season featured a real finale, real in the sense that it that actually had an effect on the show’s dynamics. With Pierce culled from the group seemingly forever, I’ve been wondering all summer what role he would play in season three. Without his constant antagonizing it seemed like this huge change would have an effect not just on the study group’s dynamics but also on pretty much every other aspect of the show.
