Draggin’ City

Posted on 04/06/2012 by

She’s the Man (2006) was on TV yesterday, so I thought I’d give it another spin… mostly because I recently discovered that Alexandra Breckenridge actually has quite a substantial (though uncharacteristically chaste) role in it. For those who don’t know, … Continue reading →

No Perks

Posted on 29/08/2011 by

The second season of Hiccups finished this week, and while I still find Millie’s antics quite amusing, and think Nancy Robertson and Brent Butt give great performances, this season was sadly lacking in the Emily Perkins department. Apparently she was … Continue reading →

Hiccups Return

Posted on 26/06/2011 by

Apparently I haven’t been playing close enough attention, because a new season of Canadian sitcom Hiccups started last month, and I completely blanked it! Lucky for me only three episodes have been broadcast so far, so I should be able to … Continue reading →

Honest to blog!

Posted on 30/12/2010 by

Somewhere between watching Hard Candy (2005) at the cinema and picking up a DVD boxset of ReGenesis (2004) I became a huge Ellen Page fan. I think she’s a genius actress (and mighty cute to boot), so naturally I was … Continue reading →

Happy Perkday!!!

Posted on 05/05/2010 by

Yesterday was Emily Perkins‘s B-Day… I missed it, but never mind (I blame the time zones). Hiccups is still trucking along quite nicely… although the last episode featured a whole plot about how Stan couldn’t buy a decent anniversary gift … Continue reading →

The Odd Hiccup(le)

Posted on 16/04/2010 by

Via the magical picture tube we call “internet” I’ve been able to watch the first six episodes of Hiccups… and I have to say, it’s a funny show. Frankly it’s been a while since I saw a good sitcom on … Continue reading →

Canucks and Chuckles

Posted on 10/04/2010 by

Apparently the Canadians are making sitcoms now. Who knew? I don’t mean that as a slight on my North American cousins (who, lest we forget, gave us Kids in the Hall, arguably the greatest sketch comedy series of all time), … Continue reading →

Canadian Werewolves in London

Posted on 09/04/2010 by

Consigned to the BBC’s inglorious graveyard shift tonight (okay, technically tomorrow morning) is the cult lycanthropy-as-metaphor-for-puberty flick Ginger Snaps, which I’ve ranted about before. According to the Beeb’s website, they’ll be showing the sequel (…Unleashed) next week… then, presumably they’ll … Continue reading →

Brace Yourself

Posted on 12/06/2009 by

Last night I watched the first part of the new Shirley Henderson comedy May Contain Nuts. To get her underachieving daughter into a fancy new school, Henderson decides to substitute for her at the vital entrance exam. Realising that the … Continue reading →

Canadian Gothic

Posted on 01/06/2009 by

When I first rented Ginger Snaps, many years ago, I was unlucky enough to get a disc that was scratched to buggery. I was drawn in by the characters, but once the story kicked in, weird coloured blocks began to … Continue reading →
