Top 10 Episodes of Monk

-
10. Mr. Monk is on the Run (Season 6, Episodes 15 and 16) A dynamic two-parter with a very classic "title character has to become a fugitive" theme. Yes, it's been done many times before and there's nothing actually innovative about this, but in the Monk universe there's definitely a new quality to it. Personally the second half brings it a bit down for me as Dale the Whale was never truly a well-written character (changing actors every time didn't help), but Sheriff Rollins is a fun villain and the regular cast is even more outstanding than usual. 9. Mr. Monk Gets Jury Duty (Season 4, Episode 16) Another great finish to a season (and not the last one you'll see on this list). Monk in a small room, pissing off the other eleven people. It's just a really good setting for this character to shine and the case itself is one of the most exciting too, especially with the fake juror and how the detective manages to figure it all out while locked up with the o...

All James Bond Movies Ranked From Worst to Best

-
NOTE: This list was originally posted on rateyourmusic.com. I decided to transfer it here and essentially copypasted it, only fixing some errors and moving around a couple of movies. More Bond rankings probably coming here, as well as more franchise worst to best stuff. I don't really have any release schedule, I'm just going to be writing up whatever I feel like doing. Okay, not all because I'm not counting the David Niven parody one, nor the 1954 television version of Casino Royale. What's listed though is all the official Eon Productions movies, plus the 1983 Warner Bros production Never Say Never Again. I think I saw each movie at least three times (besides No Time to Die). Usually the more I've seen it, the higher it is on the list, but it's not a rule. There's gonna be spoilers everywhere, can't really do it any other way. As for the actors portraying James Bond, my order of preference would be something like: -Connery -Craig -Moore -Dalton -...

Olivia Rodrigo's GUTS - Gutsy (pun intended) sophomore album or more mediocrity?

-
 Olivia Rodrigo - GUTS  "Sour" was one of these records that I knew were extremely popular, but it took me a long while to actually pay a listen to. It certainly wasn't the worst thing I've heard, but it also failed to leave much of an impression. Lyrically it seemed like just one break-up song after another, whereas only the two main singles were catchy enough for me to return to them.  "Driver's License" has that stunning chorus, but over time I actually began enjoying "Good 4 U" even more. It's just pure teenage pop-punk fun and I couldn't care less that she ripped-off Paramore (eventually giving them a writing credit). I was never a fan of that band. "When am I gonna stop being great for my age and just start being good?" Is "GUTS" more interesting then? Yes, and on many levels. For one thing, the tracks are a lot more consistent without any real duds. What's more, along with the break-up songs we now have t...
