'The Walking Dead' Review: Season Two, Episode Two -- 'Triggerfinger'

Television
There was a lot of incident in this week’s episode of “Walking Dead” – a high zombie-count, several off-screen killings, an amputation – but not a whole lot of story. If anything, the narrative developments actually drive the series backwards.

Review and Recap -- 'Luck' Episode Four: Where's Bernstein?

Television

Box Office
If you live in New York, Los Angeles or Austin, get yourself to a theater for "Bullhead" (it expands February 24).

Roskam and star Matthias Schoenaerts.
