Picture Day – Kate Melville

  This film first caught my attention last year at TIFF, but though it was on my “To See” list at the time, it ultimately didn’t work out schedule-wise, and I ended up having to leave it behind. Until now. The moment I heard that First Weekend Club would be screening Picture Day at the…

Last Week In Television (April 14-20)

Recently, I decided to make a list of all the shows that regularly grace my television screen, just to see how many there actually are.  Not every show airs during the same parts of the year, so I’m obviously not watching every single show, every single week.  I’m not even sure that would be possible,…
