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…
TV Season Wrap-Up 2010
Spoiler alert: If you are still catching up on some of these shows, please don’t read this post as I may be revealing some of the twists or surprise endings.

2009 Love and Hate: TV Characters
One of the things that have made this TV season so enjoyable is the many memorable characters that have cropped up. I’ve listed those that I’ve loved this year, who I can’t wait to see and who really add a unique and refreshing element to the moments when they appear on screen. Of course, not…

On top of other shows later, like Medium, there are many new shows, including the eagerly anticipated Dollhouse. Premiere dates will span January to March,…
2009: Best TV Midseason Ever!
Well, 2008 is coming to a close, and if you’re like me and watching re-showings of The Sound of Music or Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer for the umpteenth time just didn’t do it for you, take heart, for the dawn will be breaking. Let me give you a dozen or so shows that will make…
2008: The Year On Screen
2008 Favourite Movies With the after-effects of the writers’ strike, and the resulting string of mediocre disappointments, 2008 was not a great year at the cinema. Hollywood continues to play it safe, even in the highly-imaginative realm of sci-fi, and we were bombarded mostly by sequels, remakes and adaptations. It was difficult to pick favourites…
