TV Review: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- Meet the Blacks

Hey, I may loathe myself, but it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm Jewish. -- Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm

Earlier this Saturday, I went to visit my grandparents up north. And then they took me somewhere, some place that I never want to go back to again. We went to my mom’s aunt’s house, where they were hosting a memorial lunch for someone who died in my mom’s family about ten months ago. The one thing that came to my mind was how Larry David from Curb Your Enthusiasm would fuck up something at an event just like this. So later that night, I turned on HBO and guess what my hazel eyes see on the damn TV screen? The Curb Your Enthusiasm season six premiere in friggen shining lights (at least through my eyes). Now here is what not many people know: I LIVE off of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Whenever it’s on and I’m bored, I turn it on and I sit there and laugh my tiny testes off at Larry and his damn antics.

TV Review: Damages

Damages is half drama, half psychological thriller, and all eye-peeling entertainment. The cast, the direction, the writing, and the visuals sucked me in right away.

Glenn Close plays Patty Hewes, a remarkably successful civil litigation attorney. She is particular about everything in her law firm -- everything. She especially controls the people who work for her, even beyond the scope of their jobs. She never blinks early and has a legendary bull-o-meter. Rose Byrne is Ellen Parsons, Patty’s newest associate. She is just out of law school but she’s no rube. Ellen is smart, beautiful, and talented. Katie Conner, played by Anastasia Griffith, is Ellen’s older sister. With deep emotional ties to each other, Katie and Ellen’s lives find an unexpected and terrible connection. Rounding out the cast is Tate Donovan, another attorney at Hewes’ law firm; Ted Danson, a greedy billionaire; Zeljko Ivanek is the greedy billionaire’s attorney; and lastly is Noah Bean as Katie’s husband...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom
