TV Review: "The Social Network" Invades "The Good Wife"

A nerdy young social-network creator sues a movie studio for depicting him as “a creep and a jerk.” And that’s just the start of the Social Network echoes in last night’s sly episode of The Good Wife, which plays like Mark Zuckerberg’s path not taken. This episode did not present some vague, Facebook-y story. It was loaded with head-on reference to all things Social Network.

The Good Wife is one of the best series on TV with Julianna Margulies as Alicia, a lawyer whose professional and romantic life intersects with politics in the most sophisticated, deliciously tangled way.

Our America with Lisa Ling (premiering tonight at 10 ET) has a lot that’s promising, and even more that reveals why Oprah Winfrey’s OWN network is struggling with its ratings, why it will be a challenge to move beyond devoted Oprah-istas.

A month and half after its premiere, one thing is clear about Oprah Winfrey’s OWN network: it’s biggest ratings success, the show people are actually talking about and loving, is Season 25: Oprah Behind the Scenes, which follows the star and her staff as they put together the final season of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Piggybacking on the success of the daytime show is not what makes Season 25 so appealing, though.

This year’s Bafta show began in a way it usually doesn’t, with a hideous dance number, cringe-worthy and Oscar-ready. There were breakdancers in baseball caps lifting ballerinas in tutus – I won’t punish you with more details. Fortunately, that was the end of the fake entertaiment, and The King’s Speech continued its march toward world domination.

If you've ever watched an early Guy Ritchie movie thinking, "Huh? What'd they say?" Saturday Night Live has a film for you. Russell Brand joins Bill Hader and Fred Armisen in a mock British crime movie they promise is like Ritchie or Sexy Beast, but even harder to understand.

In the runup to the Oscar-predicting BAFTA awards tomorrow – I’m counting on a Colin Firth win and wonder about a possible sentimental sweep for the very British The King’s Speech -- Roger Ebert has the smartest observation I’ve seen about why The King’s Speech will beat The Social Network to win the Oscar.

You're on your own for the new part-doc, part-concert movie Justin Bieber: Never Say Never - the saga of how he went from diapers-to-riches in 14 short years! But Bieber himself is such a pop-cult touchstone, you can laugh at the parodies even if you've never paid attention to the original. In fact, the best part of this parody is Jimmy Fallon, whose Late Night is becoming the new, more consistent SNL, offering some of the best comedy on TV.

On Sunday, the BAFTAs will be handed out, the last serious awards ceremony before the Oscars. Can the British Academy predict the Oscars? Last year’s best film BAFTA went to The Hurt Locker and best director to Kathryn Bigelow; just saying.
TV Review: Samuel L. Jackson, Tommy Lee Jones Film Cormac McCarthy

Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson are confined to a single room in The Sunset Limited, but this film version of Cormac McCarthy’s play distills the same questions that explode in action in his best-known novels and the movies made from them. Just as No Country for Old Men can be seen as a parable of good and evil set in a contemporary gun-slinging West, and The Road projects issues of faith and responsibility across a barren, apocalyptic landscape, the two characters who sit and talk in a shabby New York apartment here deal with moral issues of light and dark straight out of Milton.
