SHOWBUZZDAILY Film Review: “American Hustle”
AMERICAN HUSTLE: Buy A Ticket – David O. Russell’s Epic Romp Is a Party That Goes On Till Dawn Even though it’s concerned with con men, low-lifes and deluded losers, AMERICAN HUSTLE is the happiest movie in town. The co-writer/director David O. Russell seems intoxicated with life’s utter craziness and the joy of moviemaking; [...]

THE SKED SUNDAY CABLE RATINGS SCORECARD – 12/8/13
A&E/LIFETIME/HISTORY: Part 1 of BONNIE & CLYDE performed moderately well, aggregating a 2.8 rating in 18-49s with 1.0 each on A&E and History and 0.8 on Lifetime. It’s a fairly big number when you add it all up, but network-by-network it was below Vikings at History, below Devious Maids at Lifetime, and below Bates [...]

There was less chatty posthumous narration from Clyde (Emile Hirsch) this time around, a greater role [...]

NIELSENWAR: “The Good Wife” and the Best Showrunner Emmy That Doesn’t Exist
NOTE: Weekly and Season To Date Ratings Charts Are Below The war is over: victory is television’s (make that “television”), which after decades of being considered the Fredo Corleone of dramatic narrative is now–to the evident recent discomfort of the film critics at the NY Times and LA Times–taken as seriously as the kind created [...]

OSCARLAND: AFI Top 10s
The American Film Institute issued its list of the year’s Top 10 movies (and television shows) today, and their selections have been quite close to the Oscar nominees over the past couple of years, so they’re worthy of some attention. There were no great surprises in the chosen 10, which AFI lists alphabetically, with [...]
