Frequency: The Art of Appreciating What You Have
I came into Frequency totally unprepared. I’d never seen the movie that inspired it, didn’t know any of the actors, and was totally devoid of 90’s nostalgia – or so I thought. My only interest in the show, and in…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×03 Roundtable: “The Other Shoe”
Well, that was a good episode, wasn’t it? The flashbacks were engaging, the present stuff was interesting, moving and it gave the actors a chance to show their range. Oh, yes, and the Evil Queen and the Not-so-evil-stepsister’s outfits slayed. There’s…
‘Pitch’ 1×04 Review: ‘The Break’

Nine Things You Didn’t See from the Once Upon A Time Cast at SDCC
