Man, how long does it take you to finish watching a season of a TV show? I tell you what, it doesn't take me days, … [Read more...]
Catching Up with Kevin Durand
When I sat down with Kevin Durand in Toronto recently, the first thing I asked was for him to clear up a rumour. There's an urban myth that's come out of the University of Windsor, that the head of the Drama department sat you down and kicked you out of the programme because she said you would … [Read more...]
Little Girl Gone
The other night something bizarre took place and I am not quite sure what to make of it. My oldest child was showing me some photos she had taken of herself for fun. I thought she looked beautiful in them and told her to send them to me via email. Just recently she turned 14 and so … [Read more...]

Sure, if by easy you actually mean near-impossible. It was really hard to remember, and, well, certain episodes stick out in my … [Read more...]
The Good, The Bad, and the Emmys.
That Emmy sure was at the top of her game on Sunday night. Not since the days that Billy Crystal did the opening number at the Oscars have I enjoyed an awards opening. I mean, COME ON. Jon Hamm was dancing and singing..and Kate Gosselin was, well, not. Overall, I enjoyed Jimmy Fallon as a host … [Read more...]
Barbara Hershey and Naveen Andrews Split. Even though I never knew they were together.

LOST: What They Died For
Holy hell. Where do I even begin? This episode! I feel like this was already part of the finale and things are moving quickly and making sense and questions are answered and OH MY GOD, Jack drank the wine of doom and is just like Jacob now. Also, the show opens with his eye, which I thought was … [Read more...]
LOST: The Candidate
BE WARNED: SPOILERS AHEAD.Oh my god.

Oh my god. It does, however, beg the … [Read more...]
