Cutting Class

Posted on 27/11/2011 by

So, today sees the “network premiere” of the St Trinian’s reboot (2007) on Ch4… not that “network premieres” really count for much these days, what with the abundance of film channels, cheap DVDs and interweb torrents. Still, it’s bound to mean … Continue reading →

Yesterday BAFTA hosted their inaugural “Brits to Watch” event to shine a light on 42 talented-types they deem worthy of making nice with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, during their visit to California. To quote BAFTA’s press release, regarding … Continue reading →

Hungered

Posted on 23/12/2010 by

To be honest, I’d never actually heard of The Hunger TV series (1997) before I bought the battered first season boxset in a second-hand shop… but it was cheap and it had pretty ladies on the cover and I liked … Continue reading →

HippieWatch!

Posted on 22/12/2010 by

After Goth Chicks, I’d have to say that my next favourite (and most fancied) comedy archetype is the Hippie Chick. Of course, they don’t crop up in modern comedies as often as they did back in the day, but you … Continue reading →

Quasi-GothWatch: Jessica Bell

Posted on 20/12/2010 by

I know, I know, I know… I’m devoting way too much time and thought to these flicks… but there’s something about seeing potentially great ideas hampered by muddled execution that really frustrates me, and “The Banned of St. Trinian’s” is … Continue reading →

Quasi-GothWatch: Talulah Riley

Posted on 18/12/2010 by

Sorry, I’m still on a bit of a St Trinian’s kick at the mo! Although Talulah Riley’s character ‘Annabelle’ never officially joins any of the school’s tribes, there is a scene halfway through the first film, where they each give … Continue reading →

GothWatch: Montserrat Lombard

Posted on 17/12/2010 by

I accept that I am not the target audience for a flick like St Trinian’s 2: The Legend of Fritton’s Gold (2009), and that this critique probably isn’t worth the pixels it’s printed on… but it’s cold in my room, … Continue reading →

Dust to Dust

Posted on 23/05/2010 by

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 →

Today we wish a Happy 90th to Ronald Searle, the influential English artist and cartoonist, best known as the creator of St Trinian’s School (which has been the subject of several books and a couple of decent full-length films). Apparently … Continue reading →
