TV Rundown: June 14 | Let's Talk About the Game Changing 'Game of Thrones' Finale
In the words of the great Jesse Katsopolis: “have mercy” or
at least a little. “Game of Thrones” went full blown "valar morghulis" in its
fifth season finale so it might actually be a shorter list to detail who
survived the closing hour, as opposed to naming those who perished. Out of the
six deaths, four were not exactly heartbreakers.
The second fatality in particular experienced an all too merciful end (if it was indeed their end); given their reign of terror. In the game of thrones, seldom is justice anything close to what it should be. The last death of the episode proved to be the most shocking and controversial; simply because it does not seem plausible.

Top 5 Problems with 'Mad Max: Fury Road'
#5 The State of People
In the post-apocalyptic future of “Fury Road”, people are in really bad shape. Obviously lacking sustenance of any sort, they’ve become malnourished and physically altered, as a result. Speaking of which, why none of the women in the film comment on the fact Max is the only healthy-looking man in the entire world is baffling.Movie Review: 'Mad Max: Fury Road' (2015)
A caravan of crazy roams the desert, leaving in its wake a
chaotic free-for-all of frantic neuroses. There’s no way to soft sell this
review, so let’s just get to it. The latest “Mad Max” is an assortment of
cockamamie pandemonium that leaps from one lurid explosion to the next in a
momentum-less rush to keep viewers from noticing a script spread thin on
character development or anything else of valuable dimension.

Which film cemented
itself as the early Oscar contender for Best Picture?
"Carol" starring Oscar winner Cate Blanchett and nominee Rooney Mara easily captured that slot. In the adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel of the same name, Mara plays a department store clerk who embarks on a love affair with the married and more established Carol (Blanchett).
