Today St. Trinian’s was released on DVD in the US, following last year’s limited theatrical run. This should not be taken as an endorsement, or an advertisement, because in truth I think the film’s Metacritic score of 39% was well … Continue reading →

Lady Sovereign

Posted on 20/01/2010 by

CBB/S-O-V (final)

Posted on 20/01/2010 by

The Merry Pole

Posted on 14/01/2010 by

Ah, I do love sites like Daylife.com, which conveniently save geeks like myself all the time and trouble of tracking down celeb news and reviews by doing the (virtual) leg-work for us. Today a random whim led me to reviews … Continue reading →

Mindy Kaling as “Kelly Kapoor”

Posted on 03/01/2010 by

Hurrah for the sales! Before Xmas I was able to pick up the first three seasons of The Office (US) for a tenner at Asda… that works out at roughly a pound per disc! Madness! The trade-off is that they’re … Continue reading →
