ON CD/iTunes:
She & Him Vol. 2 is just as endearing, sweet and frothy as the first edition. She (Zooey Deschnael) & Him (M. Ward) bring about another collection of folky, charming tunes that will make any rainy day feel like sunshine. Download this: Gonna Get Along Without You Now, Sugar Town and their latest single, In the Sun.

Damages' first season was one of the most compelling and addictive debut seasons of any TV drama I've ever seen. Unfortunately, the second season was nothing in comparison... The current season marks the 3rd for the Glenn Close vehicle and luckily, we're right back in action with episodes and plot-lines that leave you wanting more week after week. Still not as fantastic as season 1, but remaining one of TV's brightest dramas.

RuPaul's Drag Race is one of the best new competition shows on TV! What a colorful, inspiring and innovative idea. I don't mind catty TV drama as long as there is an art form attached and Ru and Co. really prove that drag is an art!
My Grade: B+
ON DVD:
An Education will introduce you to the lovely Carey Mulligan, with whom you will adore. Solid performances all around and the adaptation of a memoir that asks some substantial questions and unveils astounding character.
My Grade: B+
Sherlock Holmes is perfectly played by Robert Downey, Jr. and his co-stars Jude Law & Rachel McAdams shine in their own right. Unfortunately what's supposed to come across as so damn funny is lost in translation and what should keep us on the edge of our seat will actually lull you to sleep if you're too comfortable.
