#20: Gone Girl Ever since the announcement that Gillian Flynn’s best-seller would be getting the adaptation treatment, there have been expectations. When it was announced thriller maestro David Fincher would be taking the helm those expectations were only heightened. “Gone Girl” possesses all of t…

#5: Unbroken Angelina Jolie’s much-anticipated biopic of Olympic runner and World War II POW, Louis Zamperini (Jack O’Connell) tells the incredible true story of his harrowing ordeal. Already facing a somewhat ambivalent awards reaction so far, “Unbroken” now faces the embrace of audiences. The subj…

Reign | Mary reigned a fiery vengeance down on her assailants, in what was another powerful scene from Adelaide Kane and a surprisingly fast development for the series. The impact of the storyline has proved far reaching and it has put Frary in a terribly sad position. The most unexpected revelation of the episode was Conde’s love confession to Mary. Personally, there was little lead up to it, so it came as a bit of a shock.

I had never even so much as called into a radio station before starting his show, so for him to give me this opportunity was remarkably generous.

Attention: If you do not want to know which character was killed off of this week’s episode of “Revenge,” read no further…

If you’ve read Eclectic Pop’s review of the latest installment in the Hunger Game series (click here to read), you probably know where this is going. Since a review can only go so far, this companion piece aims to dig deeper with 5 specific issues that encumbered “Mockingjay: Part 1” and hamper th…

Reign | As the battle between Protestants and Catholics reached its boiling point, Francis started to reach his breaking point in his quest to settle the dispute. Frary experienced another tumultuous period in their relationship and all of it could be avoided if Francis would fess up to Narcisse’s blackmail. Why he is hiding such explosive information from Mary, especially when her fate hangs in the balance is hard to follow. Not to mention, keeping it from Catherine.
