Dexter is all about U.S. foreign policy and the moral calculus of a superpower. Our government has likewise been on a killing streak, and there's no end in sight. But we are also, as a country, conflicted about this propensity toward murder.
Although the recession certainly cut back on the acquisitions budgets of independent film distributors, Mirvish believes that Park City will see a lot of film-buying activity shortly.
Is all TV good? Of course not! A lot of TV is crap. But denigrating ALL TV as evil is like burning all books because Snooki is now a best-selling author. That doesn't ruin my opinion of the written word or compel me to post comments like "STOP READING AND START KNITTING."
The Dexter season finale aired last night and if you haven't seen it there will be spoilers ahead, so fair warning.
"Dexter" finally put something significant on the table in its Season 6 finale, and not just the Doomsday Killer Travis Marshall. Colin Hank's religious murderer did meet his fate, like so many other 'Dexter' villains before him, but the really pivotal development of the finale was Deb finally learning the truth about her adopted brother (who she's apparently in love with).

Of all the diverse fictional characters who have inspired us, Muslim protagonists remain very rare in American entertainment.
Dexter returns for its sixth season on Showtime and it is beginning to show its age. The snap the show had in the early days is gone and has been replaced with a slow crawl.
Few will dispute that voting members of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences largely got it right this year.
The adage, "You can't go home again," isn't completely true. You can go home again, but it's going to involve serious heartbreak, a coke binge, multiple altercations, confronting uncomfortable truths and your own mother slapping your just-punched face.
Dear bloggers: they tell you that success on the Internet is all about grabbing eyeballs, but nobody tells you how to get those eyeballs.
The difficulty of compiling a Top 10 Best TV Shows of the Year list points to the fact that people who complain there is nothing worth watching on television don't know what they are talking about.
2010 was a busy year. Like every other year, you had to deal with the family, work, fantasy football ... oh, and you really should get that noise your...
