Elektra-failing

Posted on 22/02/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains ghost ninjas and SPOILERS!!!] When I first watched Elektra (2005), a couple of years after its release, I summed it up thusly: “Terrible Film/Good DVD”. Seeing it on sale in a charity shop for 10p last week, I couldn’t … Continue reading →

Hoorawed

Posted on 17/02/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains a suspicious amount of sofky and SPOILERS!!!] In a classic case of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, I was greatly enjoying the Coen brothers’ 2010 adaptation of True Grit, right up until the final scene. It’s not … Continue reading →

Posted on 16/02/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains unwanted alien advances and SPOILERS!!!] Over the past few months, I’ve been working my way through seasons three, four and five of Stargate: SG-1… but haven’t really had much to say about them. After a rocky start, the show … Continue reading →

Cunk It Up!

Posted on 14/02/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

The latest series of Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe finished with a “best of” compilation episode last night… which also (rather confusingly) featured a few brand new bits and pieces, just to give the “fast-forward” and “play” buttons on my remote … Continue reading →

The Rana Resurgence

Posted on 13/02/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

While prepping a bunch of old doodles for my DeviantArt  gallery (plug!), I was inspired to revisit Rana Roy’s IMDb page, where I was pleasantly surprised to see a slew of recent credits! Granted, most of them are for shorts … Continue reading →

Après-Meh

Posted on 10/02/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains conveniently-placed calendars and SPOILERS!!!] The X-Files creator Chris Carter has a new pilot streaming online at the moment, courtesy of Amazon Studios. Normally I’d be hesitant to come down too harshly on premiere episodes (especially after shooting my mouth … Continue reading →
