"HTGAWM" recap: "Mama's Here Now"

4 Minutes read

I think we can safely say that even though there was some kind of drama about Rebecca possibly being Lila’s real killer (which most of the fans had already figured out the moment they laid eyes on her), the best part of How to Get Away with Murder episode “Mama’s Here Now” was Cicely Tyson going…

"Sleepy Hollow" recap: "Kali Yuga"

5 Minutes read

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve seen Ichabod and Abbie, two parts of Sleepy Hollow’s lifeblood, actually working things out in a scene together and fighting crime. Thanks to the likes of Hawley and Katrina, our lovely Witnesses have been torn apart. However, this episode, “Kali Yuga,” brought all of the right things back…

"Downton Abbey" recap: Ep. #5.4

6 Minutes read

Almost 24 hours after this week’s Downton Abbey has aired, I’ve been doing some thinking amid my rapid emailing and business-handling. Even though this season is shaping up to be one of the better seasons, there are still a few things that are not shaping up as well as it could. I’ll just down the bulleted…

"Sleepy Hollow": Reading More Post-Season Tea Leaves

10 Minutes read

Since the TCA comments came out, people have either been freaking out, maintaining hope for a third season, or silently hoping for Sleepy Hollow to get its death throes on. I think that even though the Cancellation Bear is right in saying that S3 isn’t a definite lock, I won’t say that the show is…

When I started today’s Sleepy Hollow tweet, I wrote: #SleepyHollow is on! Let’s get Jesus on the mainline to help us through! — Monique Jones (@moniqueblognet) January 20, 2015 I wrote it partly in jest, but little did I know that I’d actually feel like I needed a mainline to Jesus during the episode. If…

Review: "Selma" Shows Viewers the Past and Present

Synopsis (Paramount):  SELMA is the story of a movement. The film chronicles the tumultuous three-month period in 1965, when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led a dangerous campaign to secure equal voting rights in the face of violent opposition.  The epic march from Selma to Montgomery culminated in President Johnson (Tom Wilkinson) signing the Voting…

Charles King Leaves WME to Create Firm for Multicultural Entertainment

3 Minutes read

I think my articles on Exodus: Gods and Kings, the Sony hack, and Ghost in the Shell say it best: Hollywood is messed up when it comes to real representation of non-whites in entertainment. Another thing it shows is that there needs to be a studio or agency that will handle films that otherwise wouldn’t get sold in…

"HTGAWM" S1 rewind: "Pilot"

11 Minutes read

How to Get Away with Murder is my first foray into the world of Shonda Rhimes, and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw. The episode had many great moments (Alfie Enoch aka Dean Thomas from Harry Potter! Upended sexual tropes! Viola Davis!) and the twist at the end…well,…
