Review: Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life

Posted on November 26, 2016 by Cat

I’ve never been a huge Gilmore Girls fan. When I first attempted to watch the lot a few years back I only got a few episodes into season two before getting sidetracked with something else to not return until a … Continue reading →

Review: My Scientology Movie by Louis Theroux

Posted on November 17, 2016 by Cat

My first experience of Scientology was as a very young teenager at one of their seminars aimed at recruiting new members. I was impressed and remember trying to convince my parents during the break that we should go on all … Continue reading →

Terrified by my own Sky+ box

Posted on December 8, 2012 by Cat

I’ve been quite busy the last few weeks with work or spending weekends away at friend’s or going to weddings. In the meantime all the recorded series’ links have continued recording and I only have 13% left of what I … Continue reading →

RIP Larry Hagman

Posted on November 26, 2012 by Cat

When I was growing up I wasn’t generally allowed to watch TV. It would be on when my parents wanted to watch something and occasionally during dinner, but for the most part it was just not a thing I was … Continue reading →

Murder, She Wrote made me laugh

Posted on November 10, 2012 by Cat

Some episodes of Murder, She Wrote are better than others and the one I’m just watching now actually made me laugh out loud. Taken from the episode ‘A story to die for’, Jessica Fletcher is unaware that she suspected of … Continue reading →

Brave

Posted on September 16, 2012 by Cat

Went to see Brave today which actually turned out to be a good film. It was quite predictable, but had some lovely touches, even though the brothers of the princess were rather scary, especially in their other form. It also … Continue reading →

RIP Andy Griffith

Posted on July 3, 2012 by Cat

When I was just a little girl I used to love watching TV with my mum in the afternoons. Shows like ‘Murder, She Wrote‘, ‘MacGyver‘, ‘Diagnosis: Murder‘ and, one of my mum’s favourites, ‘Matlock‘. I remember quite a lot of … Continue reading →

“London smells like my grandma”

Posted on April 4, 2012 by Cat

Tonight I saw ‘The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists’ at the cinema. The film probably would have passed me by had it not been for a friend and mine’s decision to go to a cinema, as well as the … Continue reading →

The many mistakes of Kim Bauer

Posted on February 10, 2012 by Cat

I’ve been watching a fair bit of 24 lately; first rewatching season 2-4 and then watching the remaining seasons for the first time. Generally I mostly like 24, but there are many things that annoy me about it some of … Continue reading →

Timetravel in TV shows

Posted on February 9, 2012 by Cat

Timetravelling in TV shows is always a precarious thing as it has to be done with the existing universe in mind and can’t rewrite previous episodes. Lost is something that managed to do it well, even though it seems incredibly … Continue reading →

Easy Kiweasy!

Posted on January 28, 2012 by Cat

Today I baked some kiwi muffins following [mostly] the Kiweasy recipe on the Abel & Cole website. Not only did I bake and cook for the second day in a row, but I also did something I mentioned in the … Continue reading →

Children’s stories

Posted on January 21, 2012 by Cat

I’ve had several separate conversations about books I read as a child over the past few days. One of them evolved around fairy tales, particularly the quite grim Grimm’s ones [see what I did there…?] and the other about Sherlock … Continue reading →

Medium

Posted on January 18, 2012 by Cat

I recently finished watching the final series of Medium. It’s a show I discovered years ago and, despite not really being convinced by its concept, stuck to. Mediums and premonitions aren’t really anything I give credit to. The show was … Continue reading →

Killing stormtroopers ain’t quite the same any more

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Cat

A played a little bit of Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2 last night following watching most of season 1 of the Clone Wars this weekend. The game is, just like the first one, quite a lot of fun, but … Continue reading →

24 Season 5

Posted on September 29, 2011 by Cat

Seeing I am practically stuck in bed with a knee injury at the moment I figured this was a good time as any to be watching 24, a show I can’t seem to watch over time. I have written about … Continue reading →

Galaxy Quest mockumentary

Posted on February 5, 2011 by Cat

I’ve mentioned Galaxy Quest before and how it’s one of my favourite films. io9 [which now has such a horrible layout] posted a mockumentary on Galaxy Quest, all in universe with the original extras. It’s about 20 minutes long and … Continue reading →

V

Posted on July 2, 2010 by Cat

Even though I’ve known about V for a while I’ve only just started watching it properly now as Elizabeth Mitchell‘s presence confused me while Lost was still ongoing. And she is also one of the main reasons I’m watching it … Continue reading →

Another one to file under ‘I wish I hadn’t bought this’.

Posted on June 30, 2010 by Cat

Full size I’ve been watching 24 over the last few days which I’ve mentioned multiple times on Twitter. Like here and here and here and here. This isn’t the first time I’ve watched it, but despite being annoyed about many … Continue reading →
