I saw the first episode of the first season of Downton Abbey way back in May 2011, when I was visiting Australia. And I watched it with ad breaks. Maybe that coloured my viewing experience, because I never got back to the show until the last few weeks. I kept hearing about the series, here […]

I started late on Fringe. As in, only a few weeks ago, and the show is already into Season 4. But I’ve caught up already. The hook bit deep, and dragged hard. The most frustrating part of that is I’m not really sure why. The show doesn’t deal with paranormal — or it says it

If you’ve only read a couple of the original Sherlock Holmes stories before, or only watched the two movies with Robert Downey Jnr., you’re probably wondering how on earth Sherlock Holmes could end up in one of my Pulse Pause posts. I’ve actually been waiting impatiently to write this post for about three weeks now,

I’m really a desparate romantic at heart. The cheesiest cliched film moments, done right, will get me, every time. Desperado was one long bunch of formulaic cheesy moments, filmed on the tightest of tight budgets. But not nearly as tight a budget as El Mariachi, when Robert Rodriquez checked himself into a research hospital and

Pulse Pause Moments – Alejandro and Elena De la Vega – Zorro I have owned the extended cut of The Mask Of Zorro and The Legend of Zorro for years. They’re my go-to movies, whenever I want to watch something escapist and totally romantic. Which is a little ironic, because the first time I saw

If you’ve been following my mad ramblings lately, you’re probably well aware of the fact that I’m working my way through the (currently) nine seasons of NCIS. The first season or so, I had to hang in there. I kept thinking it had to get better. Any show that a) had Mark Harmon in it,

Pulse Pause Moment: Bill and Sam in True Blood The True Blood TV series is not known for pulling sexual punches, but because it is so frank about sex, sexual tension is often missing. Sexual tension is one of the most delicious ingredients in romance novels. The “will they now?” question that sits in the

I actually don’t like high fantasy, with one glaring exception. When I was fifteen years old, I was introduced to Lord Of The Rings. I read it in a week (between school exams), and fell utterly in love. I tried other high fantasy novels after that and hated them. They all seemed derivative — faint

Given my obsession with Castle and Beckett, it’s probably natural I check out Firefly, and find out how Nathan Fillion does in the Joss Whedon series that boosted him to cult status. Not bad, as it turns out. I’m a huge science fiction fan. I’m not a western fan at all. This series is an

After all my raving about Castle and Beckett a few months ago, did I convince you enough to check out the back episodes and then catch the season three cliff-hanger conclusion during the premier of Season Four on the 19th? I did. So did about eight of my friends and family, all sitting around my
