Valentine’s Day
More than a mere date flick, Valentine’s Day realizes it can turn a profit on recycled plotlines as long as you throw enough big names at it (Carol pointed out that the star billings on the poster are in alphabetical order).
That said, it does make for a decent date night. One of those [...]
The facts are these…
Pushing Daisies is a fairytale-mystery series centered around Ned (Lee Pace), a piemaker who has the ability to revive the dead with a single touch (but a second touch reverses this, forever); Charlotte “Chuck” (Anna Friel), his childhood beau, and main beneficiary of his ability; Olive (Kristin Chenoweth), his lovelorn employee; and [...]

Water and fire are gloriously, fluidly rendered as you swim in the wreckage and eventually you spot the only land in sight: an island [...]
Massive spoiler alert! Don’t read this if you haven’t seen the movie.
Been practically “off the grid” the past week – discovered and promptly became a fanboy of How I Met Your Mother, a CBS sitcom now in it’s third season. A little surprising for me since after the end of Friends and Will and Grace I thought the whole “group of young adults in [...]
Magic, pure magic – that’s how I’d describe Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Anyone who has read any of the books will already know that Rowling is a storytelling genius: the world of Harry Potter ranks right up there with Middle-Earth or Narnia – perhaps higher, given how easily you can relate to her world [...]
