Imagine a movie, imagine that movie stars two of the hottest commodities in Hollywood and add a sensual, somewhat dark French-thriller plot. If you did that, you would have the trailer for The Tourist, and it would sound like a pretty good movie, right? But then if you take away the words “dark” and “thriller” and […]

Weekly Gleek Report: A Very “Glee” Christmas

Posted: December 8, 2010 at 1:33 am   /   Local, Television, Television Reviews

Let me start off by saying that ­­I did not have very high hopes for this week’s Christmas episode of Glee. For some reason, the warm comfort of Christmas music and the cool, sleek style of Glee just didn’t seem like they’d mesh. I guess I was right and wrong. The problems start right off […]

Weekly Gleek Report – “Furt” w/ Guest Star Carol Burnett

Posted: November 24, 2010 at 2:35 am   /   Local, Television, Television Reviews

Let’s say there’s a super popular TV show and a particular episode of said TV show is being hyped to the max (guilty as charged), what happens when that episode finally airs and the critics have to weigh in. If that TV show was Glee and the episode was The Rocky Horror Picture Show, this […]
