Hero Moment of the Week — Lots of Heroes that Missed the Ship. Battlestar Galatica failed on many levels.
I guess I’m venting a bit this week. Because I don’t watch television, I tend to be almost a year behind everyone else when it comes to catching up with TV series.
So I’ve only recently got to watch the debacle that was the series finale of Battlestar Galactica.
I was going to be a bit kinder [...]
Hero Moment of The Week – A Hero That Never Got Around to Being Romantic (Dammit!)
I thought I’d revert back to type this week — romantic suspense.
Except that this suspense never got around to being romantic…and by golly it should have! George Clooney played the role of Lt. Col. Thomas Devoe in the 1997 movie The Peacemaker.
Put the movie on your must-see list, if you’ve never seen it, and skip [...]
Hero Moment of the Week – Lucian from Underworld
It’s so great being able to rattle on about paranormal stuff now!
I’m dipping back into an oldie-but-a-goodie again this week, because this is a grand salute at a true hero moment in one of the best urban fantasies out (that still isn’t out in blue ray as a director’s cut yet!! — well, not in [...]
Hero Moment of the Week – An Australian Hero At Odds With His Skin
It seemed appropriate as yesterday was Australia Day to salute Sam Worthington — but not for his role in Avatar, which has so taken over the cinema circuit and stolen all the oxygen.
I happened to watch Terminator Salvation again for the second time last night, on Blue Ray, with a good quality sound system, on [...]

No groaning, please. You had to know this one was coming, surely. Me, a former card-carrying Sherlock Holmes Society committee member? Writer of two Sherlock Holmes books?
I was at the cinema, lining up, ticket in hand, on Boxing Day. I stood in line for an hour.
It was sooooo worth it.
And just in case you’re figuring [...]
Hero Moment of The Week: The Hero That Didn't Get The Girl – Andrew Lincoln in Love Actually
I pulled this movie out the other day because I kept thinking of Bill Nighy singing that god-awful rendition of Love is All Around in that terrible British accent, and the Christmas theme that ran through the movie, and thought it was the perfect time to watch it, as I hadn’t seen it for the [...]

Read more »It's Oded Fehr's Birthday Today.
I thought I’d mention this small peice of …well, it’s not trivia, is it? I’m sure it doesn’t feel trivial to Oded Fehr at all. I saw this fact all over Twitter, today. He’s 39.
The reason I mention it here is because of the post I ran a few weeks ago – Hero Moment of [...]
Hero Moment of the Week – Constable Ben Fraser
Eloisa James yesterday on Barnes and Nobles Review.com wrote a column called “In Praise of Decent Men,” where she was raving about Nora Robert’s latest romance, where the hero was neither dark nor bad but was, in fact, a decent guy.
That started a discussion on the Ellora’s Cave authors list, about good guys in general, [...]
