CSI: Creepy Scene Investigation
It’s official: Henry Thomas has become a creepy guy actor. Last year it was a killer on Without a Trace, now it’s a killer on CSI, both shows I’ve never watched in my life. No […]

This Blows
Kleenex’s Let it Out campaign doesn’t make me want to buy facial tissue so much as wonder what possesses people to air peculiar personal matters online (and this coming from a long-time chronicler of the […]
