Film Review: “Lee Daniels’ The Butler” — Powerful But Ambitious to a Fault

There are plenty of intensely moving moments in this expansive biopic, based very loosely on a real White House butler named Eugene Allen, who was profiled by Wil Haygood in a 2008 Washington Post feature.

TV Review: “Ray Donovan” — “Don’t Let The Wolf in the Gate.”

All things considered, “Ray Donovan” is bad and only a Tootsie Pop-class sucker would consider tuning in for the second episode.
