Tyler Perry’s Divorce in the Black is ridiculous and terrible nonsense, and the ending is one of the silliest aspects of it. Naturally, I’d like...

One of the most enduring mysteries in the entertainment industry is Tyler Perry, whose adamancy in proudly putting his name in the title of execrable...

I’ve been kinder to The Acolyte than most critics have, but Episode 7, “Choice”, made me feel a bit silly for coming to its defense....

Let’s interrupt our regularly scheduled recapping by reiterating a point. When I wrote about Episode 5 of Presumed Innocent, I mentioned the small things; the details....
