Rabbits are, in fact, much better than Ducks. Unless those Ducks be Mighty. (How I Met Your Mother) Naomi Bennett is a TERRIBLE mother. (Private Practice) Violet Turner is a TERRIBLE therapist. (Private Practice) I will never tire of Never Been Kissed. (movies) Jake Pavelka has terrible taste in women. (The Bachelor) Margene Henrikson might […]

Since Brothers & Sisters‘ first season back in 2006, Matthew Rhys has been one of my favourite people on television. His complicated and endearing character Kevin Walker has also been a favourite, as well as one half of TV’s best couple: Kevin and Scotty. The 34-year-old masks an accent and tackles English as a second […]

Hey, if my team’s not doing well I have to have someone to root for right? Hence […]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is not only the incomparably engaging (and beautifully dimpled) star of my new favourite movie of the summer (500 Days of Summer) but he is also the star of my favourite sports movie of all time (Angels in the Outfield) and my favourite teen movie of all time (10 Things I Hate About […]

Must Say More: Obsessions 2.0

Brian Williams is the funniest guy that most people assume isn’t funny. He tells Jon Stewart that he looked up to Walter Cronkite like Jon looked up to Carrot Top. The Hangover unexpectedly stands up to a second viewing- who knew I would love this movie? Not me, that’s for sure. But my love of […]

My favourite TV writer, Aaron Sorkin, is attached to fix the troubled script for Moneyball, a baseball movie starring Brad Pitt. Sounds like my kind of movie. For full details click here
