I just wrote a review for Satisfaction
“Pretty, white folks thrashing about looking for meaning in their pretty, beige lives…
The first episode brings home the good fortune that plagues a handsome, white guy even after he has a public meltdown that goes viral. What’s a fair dude gotta do to chuck it all and be zen like da Buddha? No one will just let him slum like he wants to. By the end of the episode he is saddled with not just more status and respect but also, apparently, more time to spend with his telegenic family in their upscale cage of a home. You just know you’re gonna wanna see what follows because you can feast on all the gloss and fantasize about shopping for the meaning to go with all the prettiness you have to live with.”
The marriage of investment banker Neil Truman and his wife, Grace, has grown stagnant through the years, a fact driven home for Neil when he discovers that his wife is involved with a male escort. After gaining possession of the escorts phone, he learns what his wife thinks of him and what is motivating her to stray while she contemplates whether their marriage is worth saving or if it is time to move on. The drama series looks to answer the question of what to do when having it all is not enough.

Sorry Internet, a Machine Didn’t Actually ‘Pass’ the Turing Test

Not to deny Eugene its achievement, of course – as an exercise in fooling humans, Goostman is fascinating – but it has no real understanding of what it’s saying. It’s a superb piece of engineering, but it isn’t a machine that can think.

I just wrote a review for This Is 40
“Looks like Judd Apatow turned his own earlier work into an ingredient for a Hollywood studio formula. Still, even in the first 10 minutes that I tolerated, there was good stuff, all of it coming out of the two kids’ mouths. May have been a better idea to have made the movie about them or from their POV. Sadly, the movie is about their parents. No amount of scatological, sexual or dark humor could’ve made these parents interesting. Better instead to re-watch “Knocked Up” and not risk diminishing it by watching this supposed sequel.”
Writer/director/producer Judd Apatow (“The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” “Funny People”) brings audiences “This Is 40,” an original comedy that expands upon the story of Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) from the blockbuster hit “Knocked Up” as we see first-hand how they are dealing with their current state of life.
