Demon vs. Dick 2: Baby Boogaloo

Posted on 27/09/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains pool-cleaning SPOILERS!!!] It was easy to forgive a lot of Paranormal Activity’s rougher edges on the grounds that it was written/directed by a first-timer, and filmed over the course of a week, with unknown actors ad-libbing most of their … Continue reading →

The Short Arm Of The Law

Posted on 26/09/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

Funny Or Die has posted a trailer for a fake crime series title Tiny Detectives, starring Ellen Page (5’1”) and Kata Mara (5’2”) as the eponymous, pint-sized police ladies. The jokes are all pretty broad and slapsticky (SPOILER: They even … Continue reading →

Old Boys

Posted on 20/09/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains buried fridges and SPOILERS!!!] New Girl returned for a fourth season this week, and I greeted it with mixed feelings. Although I still think Zooey Deschanel is totes adorable (with a silent “K”)*, I’d started to lose enthusiasm towards … Continue reading →

Messing In Action

Back Ally 3: Pig

Posted on 17/09/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains remotely adjustable high-heels and SPOILERS!!!] The third season of Ally McBeal (1999) seemed a little grimmer than its predecessors, with the untimely demise of a central character and several acrimonious break-ups and betrayals out-weighing the usual wacky antics.

“Z” For Danger

Posted on 14/09/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains unnecessary sunglasses and SPOILERS!!!] I’m no expert, of course, but I’d venture that if someone wanted to make a successful “rival” to The Walking Dead, the best way to go about it would be to show the lighter side … Continue reading →
