Come back Masterchef. I need my fix.

Come back Masterchef.  I need my fix.

Gosh, it's only been one night and already I'm missing Masterchef. Such a lovely show, and a powerful one--caused a time shift for the great political debate--now that's people power.  I actually tried to watch the great political debate. Julia [...]

It’s not Oirish you eejit

It’s not Oirish you eejit

God I love an Irish accent. And their words. They're just fabulous. Take for instance feck. What a word. Gives you the gist but isn't quite as offensive as the alternative. And the word eejit. You fecking eejit. Almost sounds like a term of [...]

I looove my Kindle. Tra-la-la

I looove my Kindle.  Tra-la-la

Sometimes you get sucked  into all the hoopla of something new and then you go "what was that all about"? It could have been like that for the Kindle, but really it hasn't worked out that way at all. All the hoopla is true, it's a three ringed [...]

Romeo, Juliet, chick flicks and other cliches

Romeo, Juliet, chick flicks and other cliches

Love a good chick flick don't you? I can watch Sweet Home Alabama three times a week. Someone Like You--what's not to like? Ashley Judd AND Hugh Jackman, love story, Hugh's really, really bad shouty American accent--beautiful. So I went to see [...]

Why did Carrie marry Big?

Why did Carrie marry Big?

Carrie marrying Big spoiled the first Sex and the City movie for me. What was she thinking? He left her at the altar. On life changing stress ladders that's got to be right up near the top and don't even get started on the public humiliation. I [...]

Eat Pray Love trailer

Eat Pray Love trailer

Here it is, better late than never, the trailer for Eat Pray Love based on Elizabeth Gilbert's book. Looks good, love Julia Roberts.  You'll have to wait till October 14 to see it though. I, like many other Gen Xers, will admit that the book has [...]

Jenard’s Showmance

Jenard’s Showmance

Because I suck up celebrity TV shows, magazines and internet articles like they're French champagne, it's been pretty hard to ignore the Jennifer Aniston/Gerard Butler red carpet lovefest. That's the are they together or aren't they together [...]

My, my haven’t you improved James Cameron

I know what I'm doing for the rest of the day. Watching the Academy Awards. Actually I don't give a toss about the Oscars, I just watch it for the dresses. I wonder if anyone will have a Hayley Bracken moment. I'm tipping no, because they pay [...]

TV show and movie remakes? Yes or no?

V starts on TV here on Sunday night. That's the new V not the old Von the SciFi channel that I've been watching for the last two years or so. God I love that show. I just hope they've done a good job on the remake. My favourite scene--when the half [...]

The Blind Side is on my good side

The Blind Side is on my good side

Pic   You know how I've been complaining, whingeing and bitching about all the crap movies around. Hardly anyone agrees with me, but I don't care because if anyone thinks that that Pokohontas rip-off Avatar is a quality film then they need a good [...]
