My Favourite Houseguest fails BB101

My favourite Big Brother houseguest made a crucial mistake this week- one that might just end his game tonight in the live double eviction episode. With Enzo on the block (perfect) and Brendon winning the veto (obvious), why wouldn’t Matt lobby to get Hayden put up in his place? He’s already gone anti-brigade by being […]

 

The documentary about Joan Rivers is doing really well. It’s gotten a lot of great press, strong ticket sales and a 91% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It also happens to be really good. It’s fascinating, disturbing, funny and tragic. I’ve never been a Rivers fan, and the film not only told me why that’s […]

Actor Obsession: Matt Letscher

So there’s this guy. Whenever someone asks me who my favourite TV actors are, I never think of him. I don’t remember to include him in lists of TV crushes, standout characters or superb guest stars. But the thing is, I really really should. Maybe it’s because he’s not very showy. Or maybe it’s that […]

Stratford 2011 Casting So Far

Casting is ongoing for Stratford’s next season before this one’s even over. Here’s what we know so far: – super exciting choices are marked with * or **, depending on the degree of awesome. – terrible ideas are marked with an x or xx, depending on the degree of horror. Richard III: Seana McKenna as […]

ABC Family’s Strange and Wonderful New Addition

It’s a little old for their demographic and completely inconsistent with the goofball brand, but ABC Family has picked up a show that completely changes the way I view their network. Starting September 7th, you can watch Friday Night Lights every night of the week, right from the beginning. The brilliant and subtle show is […]

Bitch Bitch Bitch
 

Wow, that just might have been the bitchiest hour of super bitchiness since… well, I don’t know, early Gossip Girl? Let’s get it out of the way right off the bat- Rachel is horrible and needs to never be on the show ever again (sadly she’s almost a guarantee if they do another all-stars. ugh, […]

 

I find it singularly difficult to review a production that everyone seems to love. Everyone I’ve spoken to about the Stratford Shakespeare Festival’s Peter Pan has told me they loved it. And I don’t mean casual love, I mean “that was the best thing ever!”, rave reviews that tell me the production will surely blow […]
