A face in the crowd
While I was watching the surprisingly well written biopic of Mrs Mandela (Michael Samuels did a good job of condensing nearly thirty years of her life) with its standout performance by Sophie Okonedo, I noticed this man in the necklacing … Continue reading

What I have been watching.
Glee The first conclusion I drew from this series (I have watched the first four episodes and skimmed the next two) is that modern pop songs have pretty objectionable lyrics. Not even Jessalyn Gilsig's valiant attempt can make hysterical Terri … Continue reading

Top TV dramas
In the light of The Guardian's top 50 television dramas of all time, I thought of the dramas that I remembered fondly and also remembered being, well, top. So, here's a list which is not in any order except for … Continue reading
Set dressing on Dollhouse
In "The Attic" episode of Dollhouse, there were cans of London Pride (brewed a few miles from my part of London) on the shelves in Clyde's hideout. In addition, there were also cans of Irn Bru and Tizer, a packet … Continue reading

Thank God, we're hot chicks with superpowers
End of Days (Douglas Petrie & Jane Espenson) The writers do a terrible job regarding the Scythe because it is the most awful plot contrivance. Why does Caleb tell Buffy (via Shannon in “Dirty Girls”) that he has something of … Continue reading
