Spex Appeal

Posted on 29/04/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

T’other day I happened upon an old USA Today video interview with Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch, in which they revealed that in real life they both wear thick glasses, much like their Big Bang Theory characters. I know that … Continue reading →

Bad TV, Great T&A

Posted on 27/04/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

The only good thing I can say about the Bad Teacher pilot is that it gives pervs like me ample opportunity to ogle uber-hottie Ari Graynor, as she flaunts herself in a succession of tight, low-cut outfits… and, sad to … Continue reading →

Roisin Risin’

Posted on 25/04/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

Comely comedienne Roisin Conaty has been appearing on a lot of panel shows recently, and she always brings the funny, so I was excited to see that she had a sitcom pilot airing this week on Ch4, titled Game Face. … Continue reading →

Censorbaiter

Posted on 20/04/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains a barrel full of name-tiles and SPOILERS!!!] Dragonslayer (1981) is a PG-rated Disney flick, typically found on the lowest shelf in the shop… so I was both shocked and delighted to discover how sexy, gory, and subversive it actually … Continue reading →

Dull Dragons & Mute Mirrors

Posted on 18/04/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains literal bee-stung lips and SPOILERS!!!] I picked up a copy of Dungeons and Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God (2005) t’other day, as part of my quest to watch more Fantasy flicks as inspiration for my own writing. Apparently the negative … Continue reading →

Skills!

Posted on 17/04/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

Last week I was lucky enough to find a copy of The Morgana Show going super-cheap in a charity shop… though my consumerist joy curdled a little when I sat down to actually watch the thing. The problem for me … Continue reading →

[Contains mandated noodles and SPOILERS!!!] I originally picked up my copy of The Art of Getting By (2011) in a charity shop (for 50p!), hoping that the tale of a misanthropic introvert who learns to open himself up to love … Continue reading →

Showdown In Shadaloo

Posted on 12/04/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

I’d never be so contrary as to argue that Street Fighter (1994) is a good film… but, as critically-derided white elephants go, it’s far less irritating and offensive than Dungeons & Dragons, at least. It doesn’t try to set up … Continue reading →

SG-1: Starkont Gatruum

Posted on 11/04/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains an easily exploitable Asgard core and SPOILERS!!!] Although I felt the tenth season of Stargate: SG-1 came to a fairly satisfying conclusion with the (presumed) “death” of the Ori, their pesky Priors were still floating around the galaxy, spreading … Continue reading →

La Nouvelle Nikita? Non.

Posted on 07/04/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

As a writer-director, Luc Besson can take credit for two of the greatest “girl-assassin-in-training” flicks ever made (namely Nikita and Léon)… but as a co-writer-producer, he also has to take the blame for sub-par, flashy-but-dumb dreck like Colombiana (2011). The … Continue reading →
