Can we talk?
“So You Think You Can Dance” Wednesday-Thursday 8pm, Fox The frustrating fifth season comes to a close. I maintain that S5 had the most talented Top 20 ever—there was nary a bad dancer in the bunch (except poor, pathetic hip-hopper Tony).

With a Chéri on top
It figures: Blockbuster season finally yields a movie for adults, and it’s a vignette from a bygone era about the inconstancy of beauty and the dissolution of youth.

Some of the sorting is specious—I don’t think Braden is popular with anyone, and for a […]
