“Hide The Rum!”

Posted on 31/01/2016 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains bone-cages and SPOILERS!!!] It’s been a looong time since I last watched Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006), and I’d foolishly forgotten that (despite its bum-numbing length) it was only the first part of a two-part story, which ends … Continue reading →

“Euchhh… White People!”

Posted on 24/01/2016 by Dee CrowSeer

It isn’t very often that a name comedian visits our tiny, end-of-the-line town, so God bless “TV’s Katherine Ryan” for gracing us with her dazzling presence, along with up-and-coming support act Harriet Kemsley. Our volunteer-run pavilion theatre was jam-packed for … Continue reading →

Posted on 11/01/2016 by Dee CrowSeer

Last year I pledged to watch more of Paloma Faith‘s TV appearances, little suspecting that she would be cast as a judge on BBC1’s chair-centric singing contest The Voice (UK), which started its fifth season on Saturday. Having never seen … Continue reading →

Sans Halo

Posted on 10/01/2016 by Dee CrowSeer

So far the reviews have been pretty mixed for Jane Lynch‘s new sitcom Angel from Hell, but I really enjoyed the first episode, and thought the central premise had a lot of promise. Lynch plays ‘Amy’, a scruffy/eccentric street-magician who … Continue reading →
