To celebrate the start of the festive season, I decided to re-watch The Hebrew Hammer (2003), a seasonal “Jewsploitation” comedy starring Adam Goldberg as the eponymous private detective, who’s hired to save Hanukkah after Santa’s despotic son ‘Damien’ (Andy Dick) … Continue reading →

Fresmaybe…?

Posted on 14/10/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains cash-poor sex-shops and SPOILERS!!!] The last time I checked, Addicted to Fresno (2015) had a rating in the 30%-range on both Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes… which seems a little harsh to me. By my reckoning, this dark indie comedy … Continue reading →

Marred

[Contains sad skateboard rides and SPOILERS!!!] I was quite excited about FX’s new sitcom Married when I first saw its cast list, but perhaps I should have paid more attention to the creator credit, which went to Andrew Gurland, a … Continue reading →

Too Bad (Better To Come?)

Posted on 12/05/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

In last week’s episode of Bad Teacher, the characters found themselves facing a teacher-evaluation day, with the threat of budget-tightening redundancies hanging over their heads. They all managed to pass muster and hang on to their jobs (phew!)… but the … Continue reading →

>Insert Grief Here<

Posted on 16/04/2012 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains rain-soaked SPOILERS!] I suppose all film-makers are “manipulators”, in the sense that they use words, pictures and music to make their audience care deeply about imaginary people. Some do it subtly and smartly, earning the tears and laughter honestly… … Continue reading →

“That’s Kind Of Weird, Huh?”

Posted on 10/03/2012 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains nervous, sweaty SPOILERS!!!] While cheerfully copy-and-pasting Tilda Swinton titles into my “wish list”, I neglected to check how large her role actually was in each of the films I was listing… thankfully, while she may only score a few … Continue reading →

Dressed To Depress

Posted on 25/11/2011 by Dee CrowSeer

The first time I sat down to watch the wedding-themed rom-com 27 Dresses (2008) on TV a few months ago, I had to turn it off after the first half-hour because I found the characters so irritating and unlikable, I … Continue reading →

Planning To Fail

Posted on 16/04/2011 by Dee CrowSeer

Having apparently run out of decent J-Lo flicks to enjoy, I was reduced to watching The Wedding Planner (2001) on TV last Sunday. Shudder. For those who don’t know, Lopez plays the eponymous planner, ‘Mary Fiore’, who is so consumed … Continue reading →
