Summer TV 2011 – Part 2
The summer is so packed with new TV that I had to split my post into two long pieces! The summer is so packed that there are actually two shows about teenagers who find out that they are part of a secret world of animal beings. Teen Wolf is a relatively serious take on the…
2010: The Year On Screen
Movies Each year I am less inspired to go out to the movie theatres. The hassle and the hell of other movie-goers is rarely compensated by the big screen experience these days despite (or maybe because of) the move to go all 3D all the time. Seeing TRON: Legacy in the second row in IMAX…

Fall TV 2009 – week 3
Week 3 of this year’s fall TV premieres was a doozy! While it’s nice to see the networks returning to the kind of concentrated premiere schedule that kept me glued to the TV during my youth, I have to say that I put my Tivo and timeshifting to the test. To make things a little…
