Posted on 30/07/2011 by Dee CrowSeer

I recently discovered that Monica Bellucci is one of my longest-standing crushes. Obviously I was familiar with her recent roles in movies like Shoot ‘Em Up and The Matrix sequels, but I didn’t realise she also played one of the … Continue reading →

Posted on 28/07/2011 by Dee CrowSeer

One of the movies that motivated my purchase of the boxset that also included Witchcraft and Revelation, was the horror anthology Tales from the Darkside (1990). I remembered watching it on VHS, back in my student days, and really enjoying … Continue reading →

Like A Hole In The Hand

Posted on 27/07/2011 by Dee CrowSeer

Back in the day, I worked with a woman who seemed astonished when I dropped even the most basic Biblical trivia into a conversation about history and/or religion… but, having gone to a churchy school where “religious education” was a … Continue reading →

The Appuntice: Week 2

Posted on 26/07/2011 by Dee CrowSeer

I hadn’t actually intended to write about Show Me The Funny every week, but here we are again! The first episode was given a sound thrashing by the real critics, and it’s getting killed in the ratings, so I’m not … Continue reading →

No Messin’

Posted on 25/07/2011 by Dee CrowSeer

A few weeks ago I was saying how turned off I was by the later seasons of Will & Grace… but when a stack of season six box-sets appeared on sale in a local remaindered bookshop, I couldn’t resist picking … Continue reading →

Tapped Out

Posted on 24/07/2011 by Dee CrowSeer

L-O-L-A

Posted on 23/07/2011 by Dee CrowSeer

Weighty period dramas aren’t really my idea of fun… but Juno Temple is… so when I saw a copy of Atonement (2007) going cheap a few weeks ago, I decided to pick it up and give it a spin. I … Continue reading →

No One Can Hear You Shrug…

Posted on 20/07/2011 by Dee CrowSeer

I hadn’t seen the Lost in Space movie since it came out back in 1998, and all I could really remember about it was that Lacey Chabert was very cute and funny as ‘Penny Robinson’. This week it was showing … Continue reading →
