Haywire
Haywire stars a real-life mixed martial artist that Steven Soderbergh saw fight and built a film around. Gina Carano is Mallory, a contracted black-ops type of agent hired out by the government to rescue someone but then ends up with the people coming after to kill her. She doesn’t know...

We Bought a Zoo is about a recent widower with two children who wants to start over so he finds a house out in the country that happens to be connected to a zoo. It then turns into a guy with no experience trying to run a zoo while...
Top Chef: Boring Chicken Salad
Tom essentially told Grayson that chicken salad sandwich was too boring and wasn’t sure why she chose to make it for the block party. Grayson countered saying that it wasn’t any less boring than making meatballs. Tom usually has the last word to say if any chef challenges him...
Top Chef: The Evil Queen
Top Chef has always been crazy about its product placement and this episode was no different with the elimination challenge a product placement for a movie. The main guest star was Charlize Theron who was there to promote her movie, Snow White and the Huntsmen. Even though the promotional...
Top Chef: Kitchen Meltdown
This is the episode where Sarah turned into Heather. I used to confuse them a bit when this season started, but then Sarah seemed a bit quiet and shy while Heather was out of control. Then as soon as Heather left, Sarah seemed to bitch more than contribute. She...
Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol
A New Year’s Resolution that I created with the help of Amy is to watch more movies! I have really been slacking on watching movies the past couple of years, so we are going to change that. Not only will we watch movies, we are going to get together...
Top Chef: BBQ Exhaustion
Yes, there was some drama surrounding Sarah leaving a challenge mid-way through due to heat exhaustion (flashback to Jamie and her cut finger), but I’m getting more and more concerned over Chris J.’s stupid ponytail on top of his head. I think when there were more chefs, I didn’t...
Top Chef: Tweet Twist
I remember when the the Top Chef Twitter account was asking for fan suggestions for the quickfire challenge in this episode. I was wondering how it would play out in an episode and when it would air, but in case anyone thinks it didn’t actually happen, they did ask...
Top Chef: Dueling Duos
The chefs had to pair a dish with tequila, which also meant there was some tequila shots to be had. Then, they had to create a dish using game meat. I’m not the biggest fan of game meat so I don’t think I would have liked most of the...
Amazing Race: Flying & Typing
It was an odd season. None of the teams really excited me and none really annoyed me. They all seemed relatively pleasant, which can make for a non-exciting season overall. It might have been different if some of the earlier eliminated teams had made it farther in the race....
