For “Titanic,” she earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Stuart’s family said she died in her sleep.

A lot of blogs are poking fun at Blockbuster‘s Chapter 11 filing and I don’t quite understand why. Since when is it funny for a business that employees thousands and thousands of people to be at risk of closing? I mean, the last time I checked, it wasn’t funny for anyone to lose their jobs. […]

“Mad Men,” Season 4, Episode 10: “Hands and Knees” Don Draper’s life almost ended in Sunday’s episode of “Mad Men.” He came this close to being discovered as an impostor by the government. It turns out a possible $4 million account with the North American Aviation requires security clearance for Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce employees. […]

“Dexter,” Season 5, Episode 1: “My Bad” The fifth season premiere of “Dexter” was a necessary followup to last season’s insane finale and a tribute to Rita.  The episode picks up on that same sad night just moments after Dexter (Michael C.

“Mad Men,” Season 4, Episode 8, “The Summer Man” Don Draper decided to cool things down. He’s decided to drink less, he’s swimming and he’s journaling. He turned down sex! He even went to his own son’s birthday party. Don’t overdo it Don. Last night’s episode consisted mostly of Don’s journaling through monologue. But we […]

“True Blood,” Season 3, Episode 12: “Evil is Going On” I don’t know if it’s because the rest of the season was action- and blood-packed, but I thought the “True Blood’s” season finale was the worst episode of the season. And that’s not cool. Season finales are supposed to be the best. They’re supposed to […]

The actor who played Otho in “Beetlejuice” Glenn Shadix died Tuesday at the age of 58. The actor’s sister said she believes he fell from his wheelchair and hit his head. That’s terribly sad.
