Cutting Class

So, today sees the “network premiere” of the St Trinian’s reboot (2007) on Ch4… not that “network premieres” really count for much these days, what with the abundance of film channels, cheap DVDs and interweb torrents. Still, it’s bound to mean … Continue reading

If You Insist…

Yesterday BAFTA hosted their inaugural “Brits to Watch” event to shine a light on 42 talented-types they deem worthy of making nice with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, during their visit to California. To quote BAFTA’s press release, regarding … Continue reading

Zen and the Art of Passion

I’m always reluctant to recommend anything to do with The Mail on Sunday, but their You magazine does occasionally have some interesting interviews… and this week their cover featured the ridiculously gorgeous Caterina Murino! Apparently she’s a big name across … Continue reading

Hungered

To be honest, I’d never actually heard of The Hunger TV series (1997) before I bought the battered first season boxset in a second-hand shop… but it was cheap and it had pretty ladies on the cover and I liked … Continue reading
