Dexter, Showtime’s drama about a serial killer who kills serial killers, returned with a season seven premiere that might foreshadow one of the best seasons yet.Past seasons of the show have dragged a bit…
Tonight, we say goodbye to Gallery Girls. It’s show we love to hate to secretly really love. (If our alma mater finds out we’re fans, we’re pretty sure they’ll take back our diploma.)See also:- Liz Margulies: “Amy is Her Own Worst Enemy”- Last week’s Gallery Girls recapFor us, the show,…

He garnered national attention at a young age playing an alien posing as teen in 3rd Rock from the Sun and infiltrated the human subconscious as a dream architect in Inception. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is no stranger to science fiction, and he’s put on one of his most interesting performances to…
Shows about Miami are notorious for misrepresenting the city’s look and layout. But if ever there were a show that got Miami right, Dexter would be it. The equatorial light streams in hard through partially opened shutters. Touches of saturated color–blood reds, hot pinks–make white, otherwise boring rooms pop. Neon…
If Bravo wanted to lure in straight male viewers to Real Housewives of Miami, they did a pretty good job Thursday night. We think capturing a lingerie-wearing Joanna Krupa in bed will always do the trick.See also:- Joanna Krupa: “Where’s the Vodka?”- Last week’s RHOM recapWe then go from disrobed…
Here in Miami, the city-wide nightmare that was Rock of Ages, the movie, is over. The film crews long ago packed up and left the facsimile of the Sunset Strip they built downtown. The movie opened with a South Beach premiere, and pretty much tanked. Critics — including our own…
