Have You Met Miss Jones?

Posted on 29/04/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

To celebrate Renée Zellweger’s birthday last week, I decided to give Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001) a celebratory spin… and was pleasantly surprised by how fresh and funny it still is, after all these years (and several previous viewings). It’s no … Continue reading →

No GoT, No Go!

Posted on 19/05/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

Last night was the annual BAFTA Television Awards, and several of my fave actresses were nominated in various categories… though sadly my crossed-fingers failed to bring two of them a win. Then again, I question the validity of any TV awards … Continue reading →

Sittin’ In The U-Bend, Thinkin’ ‘Bout Death…

Posted on 16/11/2013 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains a mouthful of slugs and SPOILERS!!!] Returning to the Harry Potter film franchise, I had the same reaction to Chamber of Secrets (2002) as I did to its predecessor: Good rollicking Fantasy fun, occasionally undermined by the implausible laxity, … Continue reading →

Better Than Butters

Posted on 12/09/2011 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains horrideous SPOILERS!!!] Weirdly, the only “special feature” on the UK DVD release of The Other Boleyn Girl was a trailer for Wild Child (2008). I’m not sure how much overlap there is between the target markets for those two films, … Continue reading →

Good Time Charlie

Posted on 28/02/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

I’ve never been a big fan of costume dramas or biopics, so my purchase of a second-hand, Dutch edition* of the BBC mini-series Charles II: The Power and the Passion, was motivated entirely by the talent of the players: Duff! … Continue reading →
