Snooki’s Lament

Posted on 31/03/2012 by Dee CrowSeer

On a random nostalgia kick I gave Daphne & Celeste a quick Google this morning, and felt a weird sense of pride when I saw how high this blog ranked in the search results… then I felt a stab of … Continue reading →

Carrie On Sexin’ 2: Abu Dhabi Don’t

Posted on 30/03/2012 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains luxury, seven-star SPOILERS!!!]I It’s mighty hard to justify my purchase of Sex and the City 2… but I’m a compulsive completist, and the DVD was going cheap in a charity shop, so I’m afraid I let my curiosity get the … Continue reading →

Come Back, Rogue 1

Posted on 26/03/2012 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains sadly two-dimensional SPOILERS!!!] I wasn’t especially keen to see Avatar (2009) at the cinema, because of its epic running time… but, weirdly for such a popular movie, I’ve never seen a copy of the DVD going s-hand in any … Continue reading →

Do You Know Where Your Towel Is?

Posted on 25/03/2012 by Dee CrowSeer

Back in the day, I used to be a huge Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy fanboy… I read the books, I watched the show, I listened to the tapes, and I even attended a convention or two… so by the … Continue reading →

Fangs For Nothin’

Posted on 24/03/2012 by Dee CrowSeer

Back in the day, I snarkily dismissed Heroes as a superhero show created by people who hated comic books, and were deliberately conspiring to make the genre as boring and bland as possible… in much the same way that the writer/director of … Continue reading →

This Is Not The Greatest Film In The World… This Is Just Nora Roberts’ “Tribute” (2009)!*

Posted on 23/03/2012 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains insultingly obvious SPOILERS!!!] For those who don’t know, this mediocre TV-movie stars Brittany Murphy as ‘Cilla McGowan’, a former child star from a showbiz family, who is retraining as a building contractor while restoring her late grandmother’s farmhouse. Cilla’s hopes … Continue reading →

Murder In The Park

Posted on 21/03/2012 by Dee CrowSeer

Back on a Kristin Scott Thomas kick again, I picked up a copy of Gosford Park (2001), a comical drama set in 1930s England, focussing on an ill-fated shooting weekend at the eponymous country estate, which is rather spoiled by … Continue reading →

The Opposite Of Broody

Posted on 20/03/2012 by Dee CrowSeer

I’m definitely not the target audience for a movie like Cheaper by the Dozen (2003), as I find it hard enough to understand why two sane, rational people would want to hobble their lives with one baby, let alone twelve of … Continue reading →

The Revolution Will Not Be Motorised

Posted on 19/03/2012 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains avant-garde SPOILERS!!!] As research for a zombie flick I’m writing (ka-ching!), I decided to re-watch Jean-Luc Godard’s Week End (1967)… which is basically an arty French zombie-flick-without-zombies, in the sense that everyone ends up shooting and eating each other … Continue reading →

Irish Ayes

Posted on 17/03/2012 by Dee CrowSeer

When I logged in this morning, Yahoo! challenged me to name my favourite Irish celeb, in honour of Saint Patrick’s Day… and I was totally stumped. At first the only Irish women I could think of were the all-girl pop … Continue reading →
