State of Women (November 11, 2015)
Back in July I was fortunate enough to see the showcase presentation of State of Women, a fantastic play by Andy Lyberopoulos, and directed by Tatum Lee. Since then, there have been some changes made, and you can sense the shift. It has definitely gotten to be a stronger show with this iteration, and while…
Magnum, p.i. (1985) – Professor Jonathan Higgins and Compulsion
There are shades of Pygmalion for Higgins (John Hillerman) and Thomas (Tom Selleck) this week, in the episode Professor Jonathan Higgins, which was written by Jay Huguely from a story by Mary Lee Gaylor. This one originally aired on 10 January, 1985. Higgins is expecting his cousin Sally Ponting ( Jillie Mack) to arrive in preparation for her…
Black Sails: Season 2
Last year, Anchor Bay sent me the first season of Starz pirate adventure-drama, Black Sails, and I chain-watched the entire season over two sittings. I was aghast that this show had somehow slipped under my radar, it’s beautifully shot with gorgeous locations, practical sets (with some fantastic computer generated extensions) and has a fantastic…
Star Trek: The Entropy Effect (1981) – Vonda N. McIntyre
It’s time to continue exploring the non-canon adventures of the crew of the starship Enterprise. This is going to be fun, as some of these I haven’t read since I was a kid (reading them as they were published) and some I have never read. So going in order of publication, the first book…
Vikings Season 1 & Season 2
A couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be sent a copy of Season 3 of Vikings, and loved what I watched. Even though it was slightly difficult coming into a series that has already established itself. Still, it was well worth the watch, and when the other two seasons were presented…
The LivingRoom Community Colouring Book
Art and creation matters, it can fire the imagination, inspiring us. And I can’t tell you how many times at work I wished, for just a moment, to kick back and indulge that wonderful past time and great stress releiver- colouring. Well now, you can help with the first, and create some as you…
The A-Team (1983) – The Only Church in Town and Bad Time On The Border
Face’s (Dirk Benedict) love life, and why he is the way he is comes to light this week, in The Only Church in Town. The episode was written by Babs Greyhosky and originally aired 11 October, 1983. When an ex-girlfriend, Leslie (Markie Post) reaches out to Face for help, he drops everything, including a…
Raising Arizona (1987) – Joel Coen
The family fun continues with the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book with this recommendation following my screening of Way Out West. It has been years since I originally watched Raising Arizona, and I had forgotten, for all intents and purposes, all of it, so I was eager to dive into a…
Inception (2010) – Christopher Nolan
A heist film wrapped with multiple dreams, so many in fact, that there has been much debate if the top-level, the main reality of the film itself, is a dream. To support this there is much discussion of the character’s totems, an individual item they carry around with them that is uniquely theirs, one…
