November 26, 2010April 18, 2021 John Hansen Music

Chance, a commenter on these threads, feels that Belle and Sebastian’s October release, “Write About Love,” is weak; I think it’s decent. Actually, we’re both right. It may be weak by B&S standards, but it’s decent by […]

‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1’ does its artistic best with the Horcrux quest (Movie review)

November 19, 2010April 18, 2025 John Hansen Harry Potter/Wizarding World

Fall TV 2010: The worst batch of new shows ever? (Commentary)

October 29, 2010April 19, 2021 John Hansen Television

It’s worrisome that the 2010-11 season is off to a bad start, because TV doesn’t tend to bounce back easily — good TV tends to beget more good TV (note the golden age that spiked […]

Refreshingly sunny people of ‘Parks and Recreation’ are more enjoyable to watch than ‘Office’ mates (TV commentary)

October 25, 2010April 19, 2025 John Hansen IMDb Top 250 TV
