TV Review: Showtime’s ‘Ray Donovan’ is Next Great Drama
Submitted by BrianTT on June 30, 2013 - 1:37pmCHICAGO – “I like you. You say what you mean.” Showtime’s brilliant new show, “Ray Donovan,” is titled after a straightshooter in a town where no one is honest; a problem solver in a place built on mountains of problems. Ann Biderman’s stunning drama (directed and produced by “Sopranos” vet Allen Coulter) is the kind of dense patchwork quilt of character and theme that separate great shows from merely good ones.
Blu-Ray Review: ‘M*A*S*H’ Still Resonates Nearly Four Decades Later
Submitted by BrianTT on September 8, 2009 - 3:35pmCHICAGO – I worry that young people out there raised on syndicated reruns don’t know that the beloved TV show “M*A*S*H” is actually based on not just any movie but a great comedy featuring two actors at or near their prime and directed by one of the best directors that ever lived. Perhaps a great new Blu-Ray release from Fox will correct the oversight.
