So far, HBO does not disappoint in their adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects book. The second episode is called Dirt and dives into a funeral for a murdered girl and Camille Preaker, played by Amy Adams, working on overcoming the pains and contradictions of the small town life she escaped and is now forced to confront again. Also, Elizabeth Perkins looks marvelous.
I always recommend reading the book, so I’m going to recommend you read all of deliciously dark writer Gillian Flynn’s oevre. That said, who couldn’t be excited about Sharp Objects being adapted into an HBO miniseries starring Amy Addams Adams. I love the way Amy Adams emotes as an actress, so I always want to spell her last name Addams, but that is not correct. Here are some sneak peek images from episode one. Tune in to HBO to see it all.
Holy epic dragon fire my friends! I know this episode wasn’t as action packed as last week, but for a season finale, man, did they leave us with so much shit to worry about for a year. So let’s dig right into the recap of HBO’s Game of Thrones: The Dragon and The Wolf, season 7, episode 7:
I know what you’re thinking. “Gosh Halden! You’ve been writing about Game of Thrones as a job for two years and you have a large tattoo referencing the show on your leg. At this point, it’s not only a large part of your livelihood, but also your identity, isn’t it? So how are you going to celebrate the end of this major season?” The answer is drink heavily. Disclaimer in case the cops or my mom are reading this. I am 22 years old and […]
It’s good to see Bran again. We start off episode two of season six of Game of Thrones with a hella flashback. It’s Bran watching the memory of his father and brother, and the aunt he never knew, as children in Winterfell. It’s pretty sad when you think about it. Hodor is there, like a scene from Wizard of Oz, and his name was Willas – and he could talk! I think this is a bigger and worse book spoiler than anything last episode. Back […]
Words just cannot express how much I’ve been looking forward to this week’s episode of the show. If you’ve been watching from the beginning, then you may have noticed that the 9th episode of the season tends to be the most climactic, and after the intensely frightening army of the dead in episode 8 of this season, the bar was set pretty high. The episode starts with Stannis’ camp catching fire. Melissandre goes out to see what’s going on and then tents just start burning. […]
I’ve read a lot about this season of HBO’s Game of Thrones, and people who worked on the show are saying that this is the season that starts to take the show in a different direction from the books. If I didn’t see it in previous episodes, I definitely do now, and this episode more than any other has broken the expectations that the books left me with. It has only made me more excited to see what happens, since I don’t know what’s coming […]
I am so excited to be talking about this week’s Game of Thrones episode, as it introduces one of my favorite elements from the book series, the House of Black and White. The episode opens on Arya still aboard ship that carries her to Braavos, learning about their customs already. I’d like to note that the scenery here is absolutely breathtaking as we see the entire city for the first time. She gets brought straight to the House of Black and White for which episode […]
Let me just start by starting I’m thrilled to be doing the recaps for season 5 of “Game of Thrones.” I’ve been a huge supporter of the show and the books for the past couple years, and I’ve been waiting for this on the edge of my seat since last years finale. The episode starts off with a flashback scene where we get to see a young Cersei Lannister going with another girl to see a woman who can tell her her future. Though the […]
A brilliant Game of Thrones episode lays bare the politics of King’s Landing and reveals something strange about the White Walkers. The first half of the episode mainly concerned goings on in King’s Landing. What I loved is how it made all the scheming and plotting and lying clear to the viewers. Often Westeros politics are so complex it’s hard to sort out why anyone is doing what they’re doing and what deep game is being played. But this week we could watch the wheels […]
