I caught a passing reference to Crossing Lines a few weeks ago and promptly tuned in because it’s a great premise for a show. It’s a TV series featuring an intelligence unit attached to the International Criminal Court — they investigate crimes that cross international borders. They’re based in The Hague, but every episode stretches […]

Over the weekend I was hunting for inspiration for a character in the upcoming Blood Unleashed (Blood Stone III), and crawling through a lot of film star sites and image galleries looking for just the right face to build a character from. I tripped over a tribute page for Robert Redford and ended up spending

I don’t know if I’ve posted a Pulse Pause post about Wolverine (or Hugh Jackman) before, but even if I have, I figure he’s worth a repeat. The release of Wolverine, which is the “Japan story” that the comic book fans have been drooling over for years, prompted us to trek through all the X-Men

Like we do with most TV series, we delayed getting hooked on The Good Wife until it was in its fourth season. Even then, we nearly abandoned it after a few episodes as it failed to grab us straight away. This would have to be one of the most “sleeper” series I’ve ever ran across.

Happy Tax day for all you Aussie! Scandal is a show I nearly missed out on, which would have been a pity. I heard one casual review about the show, that I followed up on to find out more about the series itself. It’s fabulous! Most of the time, when we’re easing into a new

I had lunch the other day with an author friend who is completely hooked on The Hobbit. I have always been obsessed with The Lord of the Rings since I read it in high school. I used to read the book about once a year until the movies came out. Now I have an annual

Dammit, I’m hooked like a wriggling fish. I swore off NCIS if Tony and Ziva didn’t get their act together (literally) at the beginning of Season 10. Yeah, they didn’t. But now it looks like they just might, half-way through the season. Give a woman a teeny glimpse of hope and she’ll last another quarter

Confession time: I really dislike Sleepless In Seattle, even though it has two of my favourite actors in it. (Bill Pullman and David Hyde Pierce in a don’t-blink-you’ll-miss-it bit part.) Of all the Meg Ryan/Nora Ephron movies that did so big in the nineties, I like the one that was the least successful, You’ve Got

When Dances With Wolves first came out in 1990, I watched it. Once. I resisted the lure of the movie because a) everyone was raving about it, b) it was Kevin Costner and everyone was raving about him and he was just so full of himself in those days, and c) everyone “discovered” the movie

Every few years or so I get to roll around in Aaron Sorkin’s twisted little mind and worship his sense of character and story telling ability. I’m talking about the television series West Wing, which – while it was awarded and highly rated – I still believe was under-rated and under-appreciated by vast tracts of
