All shows fall somewhere in-between – for example? CBS' How I Met Your Mother would get a "3," while […]

1987 was a great year for genre film-making: Robocop…Spaceballs…Arnold Schwarzenegger punching in our faces with both Predator and The Running Man. Unfortunately, not everything hitting cinemas that year was gold, with quite a few notable stinkers making viewers want to claw their eyes out in terror. Dolph Lundgren stumbled woodenly through Masters of the Universe; Superman […]

On behalf of Twin Peaks fans everywhere, let me me just say this to all you Game of Thrones folks out there: we feel your pain. On the plus side? It's pretty safe to say that you're not going to have to wait 27 years before you find out how everything wraps up. On the downside? […]

Not many shows can claim bragging rights to a body count longer than the Manhattan phone book, but HBO's fantasy-drama series Game of Thrones would be that rare exception.
