It's difficult to explain to someone who has never seen Showtime's "Dexter" why
it is currently the most riveting and addictive show on television. When you
try, you tend to sound a tiny bit psychotic.

I can't wait for Nina Assassin! I haven't seen Ong Bak, but this movie really

The judge lost his original suit asking for $54 million (he originally asked

could have aired instead. So I surfed on over to their site, clicked on

I could ask, what do they gain by moving the remake to America? I could ask,
"why not just show the original on SyFy?" I could ask, what does it mean to

I still just don't get the whole American-centric view that says Americans
