I really have no desire to review this film – there’s nothing I could say that hasn’t been said already a thousand times over. I feel the need, instead, to convey my personal experience while watching the movie, and what it meant to me. My love affair with Marilyn Monroe began years and years ago,…

Television Through The Ages – Or, MY Ages, At Least!
NOTE: The much longer version of this post can be found here. But to get you started, here is the introduction! I guess I’ve always been a bit of an outsider. Not in a deliberate, cool, rebellious kind of way, but in a sort of sad, distant, my-passions-lie-elsewhere sort of sense. I spent a…
Podcast of Dreams
“If you build it…” It’s no secret that Tim and I consider ourselves to be almost unbelievably lucky in the interviews we’re been able to do for our podcast in the months it’s been since we started this whole journey to adventure. What started out as just us, sitting down as friends and chatting about…
Rumpelstiltskin Revelations!
Once Upon A Time was back last night, looking to pick up where it left off before the holidays. Taking place about 2 weeks after the death of our favourite Sheriff, Storybrooke finds itself in the hunt for a newone, and the audience finally gets a look into the past FairyTale life of the very mysterious Mr….
Vampire Diaries – Back With A Vengeance!!!
WOW! I have few words – and nothing but praise – for last night’s return episode of The Vampire Diaries! Our favourite characters of Mystic Falls exploded back onto the screen with somehow even more power and intensity than that with which they left us before the holidays! I don’t want to spoil anything…
Bachelor Chatter
Well, here we are…a new season is upon us as bachelor Ben Flajnik takes centre stage on his quest to find true love. Last night saw a parade of – let’s say interesting and memorable – women, pass by Ben between the limos (and one horse) and the Bachelor mansion. The field was whittled down…
Sue’s Top Flick Picks of 2011
Now that 2011 is done and gone, and 2012 is finally upon us, I thought I’d take a bit of time to go through the plethora of flicks I saw in theatres throughout the course of the year. I dug out as many ticket stubs as I could find – yes, I keep them…I am…
What’s in a Fairytale: An Introduction to TV’s Grimm and Once Upon A Time
In the spate of new shows that began this fall, two in particular caught my eye, simply because they both seemed to revolve around the world of fairytales. Having just written my very first of the genre, I was mildly interested to see what sort of new things would be brought to the old standbys…
The Vampire Diaries – TV Series
Okay, I can’t believe I am writing this post, but at the same time, I HAVE to. See, I’ve been a closet TVD fan pretty much from the beginning. I don’t remember the moment I decided to check it out (let alone have my PVR record each and every episode), but I remember watching…
Ringer Marks Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Return To The Small Screen
Let me preface this whole thing with a confession: I was never a fan of Sarah Michelle Gellar. I believe that I used to actually feel that I hated her as a performer, but looking back, that wasn’t really the case. I’d deliberately never watched anything that she was in, is all. It all started…
