Pulse Pause Moments – Colin Farrell Have you ever noticed how some actors float around the edges of movieland, doing bits here and there, and then suddenly hit a groove and start pumping out movie after movie? Colin Farrell is one of those actors. He’s been a star for years, but the roles he’s played […]
Pulse Pause Moments
Pulse Pause Moments: Sherlock. No, not that one, the other one! There have been a few TV series that I’ve resisted watching for a number of reasons – most of those reasons have been petty princess objections to something or other. Occasionally, I’ve ended up watching the series anyway, much later than anyone else, and
Pulse Pause Moments – Thorin. Again.
So, Thorin Oakenshield is growing on me. This year, of course, the third installment of The Hobbit came out, and I haven’t seen it yet, although I know it’s not a happy ending for everyone. I did get the extended version of The Desolation of Smaug – the second installment – as a belated Christmas

Pulse Pause Moments – Ioan Gruffudd
I’ve kept a half-eye on Ioan Gruffudd for years. I first noticed him in King Arthur. He was perhaps the best thing in the entire dismal movie, which is close to my least favourite rendition of the Arthurian legends. I lost track of him after that. Because the movie wasn’t a repeat for me, he

Pulse Pause Moments – Outlander
This one caught me by surprise. I’ve long been aware of the phenomenal success of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series, and I even read the first book, a long, long time ago. For some reason I never did get around to reading the rest of the series. It may have been so long ago, there was

Pulse Pause Moments – Adam Lambert
This month’s pulse pause was so unexpected and from such a wonderfully different source that my usual TV/Film inspirations. My son emailed me one Monday. Doing anything tomorrow night? I replied that no, I didn’t have anything on. Well, now you do. I have two tickets for you, for the Queen concert. Blow me standing,

Pulse Pause Moments – The King
I usually write about some hero or other who has done yummy things to my pulse, when I write Pulse Pause Moments, but lately, I haven’t been watching a lot of TV or movies, and certainly nothing that has featured a great hero. What I have been doing, though, is rereading a lot of books

Pulse Pause Moments – Quinn and Huck, SCANDAL
Scandal has more than its fair share of…well, scandalous relationships and heart-stopping moments. It’s the best, completely over-the-top melodrama on television these days. It’s deliciously dramatic and plain good fun to watch. There’s the love triangle between Olivia, the President and Jake, head of the black ops unit that is at the root of most

Pulse Pause Moments – A Really Bad Guy to Love
I got home a few weeks ago and found Mark vibrating with excitement. “I’ve found a new series to watch!” he declared. So I sat down to watch the first episode of The Blacklist without a clue about what it was. I hadn’t seen the series trailer. I didn’t know who was in it. It

PULSE PAUSE MOMENTS – Richard Armitage…again.
I know I’ve raved about the majestic Thorin Oakenshield before. I was given a copy of the director’s extended cut of The Hobbit – An Unexpected Adventure for Christmas, and so far, I’ve watched the movie and 45% of the incredible and fascinating special effects. I was reacquainted again with the deep, sexy, smooth baritone
