[cheap pun involving the word “bland”]

Posted on 18/02/2013 by

The first series of BBC1’s Blandings came to an end yesterday… in much the same way that it began, with plenty of broad buffoonery, occasionally grotesque imagery*, and a few mildly amusing moments scattered sparsely throughout. Blandings Castle served as … Continue reading →

Putting The “EE” In Squeee!

Posted on 11/02/2013 by

I can’t afford to go to the cinema as often as I’d like these days, so I didn’t have much invested in the main awards at the BAFTAs last night. That said, I thought Paloma Faith got things off to … Continue reading →

BritComAw 2011

Posted on 17/12/2011 by

The British Comedy Awards took place last night, and I feel obligated to write a post about it, even though I had very little personal investment in most of the nominees. Last year I was whining about Getting On being … Continue reading →

Only in Dreams…

Posted on 05/02/2011 by

Finally got around to watching The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009), the latest flight-of-fantasy from Terry Gilliam… which features no less than three ex-St Trinian’s girls! First up was the divinely beautiful Lily Cole, playing ‘Valentina’, daughter of the eponymous … Continue reading →

And so, after three series, Ashes to Ashes finally came to an end last Friday. NO SPOILERS!!! I don’t ‘do’ spoilers… but I would say that their finale can also be seen as an epilogue to Life on Mars, dealing … Continue reading →

Fail Britannia

Posted on 16/02/2010 by

It’s the Brit Awards tonight… but Paloma Faith isn’t nominated in a single category, therefore they are meaningless. In happier news, she’s finally releasing my fave track off the album, “Upside Down“, as a single. Hurrah! Doesn’t make much difference … Continue reading →

The Promotion of Peaches

Posted on 26/01/2010 by

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 →

Unsolicited End-of-Year Opinions…

Posted on 10/12/2009 by

 I see a lot of mags/sites are breaking out their “Best of the Decade” lists, but I can’t be doing with that. Amélie remains my favourite film of all time, so it follows that it’s my fave of the decade… … Continue reading →

Paloma Faith

Posted on 07/12/2009 by

As the lead “Emo” Andrea in St Trinian’s, Paloma Faith scored herself a considerable amount of screen time, although I didn’t really notice her until she ditched the face-paint and piercings, and appeared as herself on an episode of Never … Continue reading →
