Dangerous Liaisons (at the Stratford Festival this season) is pretty badass. It’s badass in embarrassingly large and frilly french wigs (Yanna McIntosh as Mme de Volanges wears a particularly silly one). It’s badass in petticoats, badass in tights and badass while perched daintily on lavishly ornate pieces of furniture. This solid piece of badassery is […]

It’s taken me just under a month to post on Mockingjay, the final installment of Suzanne Collins unparalleled trilogy, after having finished it. It wasn’t for lack of passion. But although I may have consumed the novel like a cheeseburger after a Yom Kippur, I wanted to let it slowly ruminate in my mind for […]
The CW’s other new offering this season is significantly more promising. A little bit Dollhouse, a dose of Chuck, part late-series Prison Break and lots and lots of Alias, Nikita is suitably kickass and acceptably sexy.

Seriously? I’m the girl who loves One Tree Hill.

There have been a few ups and downs but overall the strategy is lackluster, the contestants are a bit boring, and a good amount of really dumb decisions are being made. I will say one thing though: for the first time […]
– Disney princesses cry A LOT. Super happy rainbows and butterflies girl, Tenley, cries at least twice every episode. Ugh. – Mean is fun. This week’s competition, in which the competitors all filled out candid surveys that ended up hurthing a lot of feelings, was hilarious, interesting and generally awesome. Way better than twister, or […]
– Aaron Paul for the WIN!!! I think perhaps that this was the year Terry O’Quinn really deserved it but the Breaking Bad supporting actor is so brilliant so consistently that I’m incredibly glad he won. I’ve loved him for years- so yay! – Tina Fey’s dress. I love it when the queen of awkward […]
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 […]
