[Contains slushy-facials and SPOILERS!!!] Hankering for a little more Lea Michele in my life, I was lucky enough to find the first season of Glee (2009) for sale in my local Poundland, and promptly set about working my way through … Continue reading →

Apparently the remaining episodes of Angel from Hell‘s short-lived first season have begun airing in Australia, starting last Sunday… and, thanks to the internets, they have now leaked out to the rest of the world via the usual piratical channels. … Continue reading →

Sans Halo (And Timeslot)

Posted on 13/02/2016 by

I went searching for the latest episode of Angel From Hell this morning, only to discover that it’s already been cancelled, a mere five weeks into the first season! Personally, I found this show to be funny, warm, and charming… I … Continue reading →

Sans Halo

Posted on 10/01/2016 by

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 →

“Jinx! Give Me Your Vera Wang!”

Posted on 19/04/2015 by

There aren’t many straight-to-video sequels that manage to surpass their predecessors, but I think we can safely add Another Cinderella Story (2008) to that shortlist, thanks to a shameless, scene-stealing turn by Jane Lynch as the movie’s modern-day “wicked step-mother”, … Continue reading →

“As Many Intelligent People Know…”

Posted on 07/06/2014 by

Ch4 started showing the first season of 3rd Rock from the Sun (1996) in the mornings a few weeks ago, without any sort of warning or advertising… so it took me a couple days to spot what the blighters were … Continue reading →

The FBI’s Most Unwanted 9: Bring Me Spanky

Posted on 22/08/2013 by

[Contains bioluminescent shark guts and SPOILERS!!!] Sigh… what can I say about the ninth season of The X Files? Scully was side-lined into a teaching job, and spent most of her screen time fretting over her miracle-baby, before deciding to … Continue reading →

You Can’t Stop Rock ‘N’ Roll

Posted on 26/05/2012 by

I was pretty much sold on The Rocker (2008) as soon as I saw the DVD cover, with a long-haired Rainn Wilson giving me a double devil-horn salute… but the back cover blurb gave me pause. To wit: “Twenty years … Continue reading →

I’m not really a big sci-fi buff (in fact a friend recently berated me for admitting that I’d never seen E.T.), so a lot of the in-jokes and references in Paul (2011) were wasted on me… but there are plenty … Continue reading →

No Sleep Tonight

Posted on 06/10/2011 by

If I were Tina Fey… or rather, if I were a pettier, parallel universe version of Tina Fey, who had too much time on her hands… I’d be rigorously exploring the feasibility of suing everyone who casually compares their crappy … Continue reading →
