Television Without Pity: The Official TWoP Page

There is little worse in the world of mainstream film than movies designed to "inspire" or "uplift" through cheesy clichéd tropes of some poor bastard rising above the impossible through sheer pluck and magical, hidden talents. Moreover, when those stories also involve a white woman helping a minori...

While we're constantly grateful for our friends and family and jobs and health and all that jazz, we're really thankful for the gift of television and DVRs and for Grey's Anatomy episodes without Katherine Heigl. So instead of focusing on the negative, we'd like to spend this very special episode of...

First things first: I realize that no matter what I say about this movie, the Twi-hards are going to go see it. So if you fall into that category, go. I'm sure you'll love it (and you already got your tickets a month ago anyway), though I did hear quite a number of not-so-young ladies at the screeni...

Ninjas are about to explode back into fashion, after years of living in the shadows of pop culture. Granted, they like it there, preferring the darkness to the revealing glow of the spotlight, but it's certainly been a while since they were the subject of numerous movies, starring white people like ...

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is really the little cult show that could, going from a bizarro blip on FX's roster when it began to a certified hit five seasons later, and it couldn't have happened to a more deserved show. It's one of the most consistently funny shows on TV right now (second only...

Doesn't the title of this Ray Romano series sound like someone filled out a Mad Lib, or maybe a Tolkien novel? Will co-stars Scott Bakula and Andre Braugher kill the comedy? Vlogger Sean Crespo tries to reconcile.

Yes, I realize how ridiculous that subject line sounds. Yes, I am too old to be watching Real World/Road Rules Challenge. Yes, I stopped watching The Real World years ago and only have the vaguest idea who half of the contestants are. And yes, I stand by the fact that other reality shows could actua...

Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant remake starring Nicolas Cage opens this week, and somehow defying everybody's expectations, it is getting good reviews. I haven't seen it yet, but I understand the new movie is less the soul-crushing character study the original was, and more in the vein of Nicolas Cag...

I was very excited when it was announced that Heather Locklear was returning to her Melrose Place roots as the bitch-in-heels Amanda Woodward. This new series, while oddly watchable, needed a jolt of something to really get it going. Since she'd saved the previous incarnation from dullness/cancellat...

In the first Twilight film, we learn that Jacob Black is a member of the Native American Quileute tribe -- in the sequel New Moon, we find out he's also a werewolf. Not bound by the full moon, the Blacks can transform on command into oversized but otherwise normal-looking wolves. While not particula...

While this season of Project Runway didn't bowl us over with originality or personality, there were still a lot of interesting looks that made it down the catwalk. And by "interesting," we mean terrible. Really terrible. Yes, there were a few pretty designs that somehow snuck through, but they very ...

While people are excited about the upcoming Twilight film, New Moon, for a multitude of reasons (The romance! The shirtlessness! The hair!), the big draw is that this is the first time we'll see Jacob turn into a wolf, becoming a threat to vampire Edward not only physically, but also romantically. W...

It's a shame that more people don't watch Sons of Anarchy -- not only is it one of the best-written, most beautifully-acted dramas around, it also has the biggest balls currently on television. Since we like to live on the edge as much as the next biker gang pop culture website, let's stare dange...

After the brutal early reviews of this new AMC series, I expected The Prisoner premiere to feel like something akin to the time I had to watch nine consecutive hours of the Real Housewives of Atlanta for work, but condensed, maximized and worse. But I don't know -- perhaps it's a testament to going ...
