John Dahl

Tea Leoni & John Dahl: [Leoni:] 'So then, of course, the second I stick the knife in the watermelon, I almost vomited. It was just disgusting.'

Okay, so [it's] the hokiest war movie in the last 35 years....Bottom line: is the raid great? The answer is "yes," qualified by the film's unearned 132-minute running time.

A surprisingly resonant examination of getting sober, made amusing by [an] assassin's increasing honesty about his career.

True Blood is delightfully, deliriously sick and "wrong," but it's also a medium for Ball's patented brand of social satire.

More diabolical than ever.

A truly unique entity in the TV landscape (I know, it's not TV; it's HBO)...fantasy, science fiction horror, Gothic romance, mystery, action, and soap opera.

[This] blend of swoony romance and horror-styled action...[isn't] shy about detonating plot twists.

Justified shares Leonard's love of character, dialogue, and situation drama, and nicely evokes its master's voice.

Season Five's twelve episodes unfortunately retrace some of the steps of earlier seasons when the show should be focused on breaking new ground, but Dexter remains entertaining in its complications...

Justified remains one of the most satisfying hours on television, creating a illusion of the social margins of Southern life that's convincing enough that we want to believe in it.

The show has meandered back over too-familiar ground in its fifth and sixth seasons, stalling for time when it should be daringly advancing its storyline.

Cannily plays in equal measure to the sci-fi TV crowd and families, to red states and blue states, and it's a formula—refined in Season Two—that seems to be working.

'Do what you have to do.'...Netflix's flagship series addresses this dictum to many characters grappling with tough choices, but the core subject of [Season Three]...is the marriage of Frank and Claire Underwood.
