Jeff Bridges gives the performance of his career in this film.

It's the season seven episode that brought us two things: 1) "No soup for you!" and 2) George's meticulously planned business transaction that required every ounce of his waking conscious. Need we say more?

Remember the mid-80s, when Kathleen Turner had fantastic legs, Michael Douglas’ blend of cockiness and sleaze was still charming and Danny DeVito was... relatively normal-sized?

One of BOP's newest writers unveils BOP's newest column, a reinvention of a previous column from the early days of the sight. Today's topic: Doug Liman.

Depending on which Whedonite you talked to, Dollhouse was either brilliant, masterful, compelling television, or a total mess not even worthy enough to be used as torture material for Guantanamo Bay prisoners. It didn't seem like there was much consensus between those two polar opposites. For what it's worth, you can count me in the former column. I thought that the show was classic Joss Whedon: slow to get started, brilliant once it found its footing, and always willing to tackle issues dealing with identity, personal responsibility, collective morality, and (a favorite topic of Joss) what it means to be human in a world that makes very little sense. Love it or hate it, if you stuck with this series all the way, it made you gasp, yell, shudder, and maybe even cry.
