What Won TV? – September 13-September 19, 2015
September 20, 2015
Television, What Won TV? Leave a comment
In this feature, I look back at each day of the past week and determine what shows “won TV” for the night. That is, I consider every episode of television I watched that aired on a particular day and declare which was the best.
Sunday – Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Monday – The Mindy Project (This post originally selected Whose Line is it Anyway? for Monday, which was good, but Mindy was better; I just forgot to include Mindy.) [Second EDIT: The Mindy Project actually started streaming on Tuesday. For some reason, I thought it was Monday. It should have won Tuesday, and Whose Line can go back to having won Monday.]
Tuesday – Drunk History
Wednesday – You’re the Worst
Thursday – Review, even if it kills him, indeed.
Friday – Jeopardy!
Saturday – The Creative Arts Emmys

This Is a (Quickie) Movie Review: Sinister 2
September 14, 2015
Cinema, Movie Reviews Sinister 2 1 Comment
So many sequels fail by simply rehashing the original. This is especially true with horror films, which tend to live or die by their hooks. Deaths of major characters in the original allow for repetition almost too justifiably. Sinister 2 follows the formula of its predecessor, in which the demon Bughuul seduces a child into murdering his or her family. But it takes a new approach that allows this premise to move towards a different sort of resolution.
The first Sinister follows the efforts of the dad to understand and survive Bughuul, while the sequel’s lead is ex-Deputy So & So (James Ransone), who supported the fight in the original and has now made it his mission to destroy every house that might be targeted by this haunting. There is a new family, but their story is more about mom Courtney’s (Shannyn Sossamon) custody battle, as she is never really aware of the horrors her sons are getting into. So & So is a promising protagonist, as he is not specifically in the line of fire. Bughuul’s process harms bystanders only as much as they get in his way. Sinister presented an ominous, damn near omnipotent vision of evil; Sinister 2 offers hope for victory, or at least survival.

Best Episode of the Season: New Girl Season 4

“Background Check”
Winston Bishop’s evolution from most pointless character on New Girl to one of the most essential characters on TV is completed in Season 4, and “Background Check” is the high point of this journey. Jess is worried that Winston’s police academy background check will be ruined by some meth she accidentally stumbled across, but really, she is worried because deep down, she just does not believe that he has what it takes. Ultimately, Winnie the Bish gets to show off how capable he really is while remaining adorably goofy, and in the meantime, the pressure-filled situation gets everyone else into some high-stakes, sweaty shenanigans.
