I’ve debating ditching Cougar Town (and a few other shows) because it’s just not that good. Sure it’s fun, and silly, but it’s no Community. I did decide to download the latest episode, and was quite pleased. While the story wasn’t great, and I’m not too fond of any of the mains, but Ted from Scrubs returned. In addition Sarah Chalke who starred in Scrubs was in the episode, and then at the end there was Dr. Kelso, and The Todd, and JD, and, and, and. It was kinda awesome!
Congratulations to Christopher Plummer on his Oscar. As good as you were in The Beginners, to me, you will always be General Chang.
Watch this… no, seriously, watch this… no, I mean watch the actual episode. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MimV42deNMA&w=450&h259=]
A new Sherlock Holmes film comes to theatres, and since I hadn’t seen the original of Guy Ritchie’s variant of Sherlock Holmes, I figured time had to come to watch it. It’s hard not to compare it to Sherlock, the BBC series starring Benedict Cumberbatch, but it’s also stupid to resist it. Both are reimaginings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary character, and they’re both completely different in every way. While Sherlock is modernized, Sherlock Holmes are contemporary to the book. Sherlock is about Holmes’ mind, and Sherlock Holmes is an action film. I cannot dismiss Sherlock Holmes as simply an action film, however. There’s a lot more to the Holmes character than just running… Read More »Sherlock Holmes
Have you ever thought to yourself, “man, I could really use some Klingon coffee?” If so, I have the mug for you! I also reviewed the mug on Amazon.com.
This month I turn 30. To mark such a remarkable event, I’m spending every day of October drenched in awesome-sauce. As any sane person knows, having multiple Adams in their lives is a blessing, as is having multiple Emilys. I hung out with Emily C. last night. Seeing as I have two concerts coming up in volume 5 and 6, I jumped at the chance of a quiet night in with a friend. After an excruciating long day at work, I drove from Thornhill to Parkdale. That’s a bloody long drive. I wouldn’t want to live in the west-end. Emily made dinner, a tasty soup, and veggies, and we hung out… Read More »#Rocktober30 volume 04: Emily volume 2
This month (well, officially next month) I turn 30. To mark such a remarkable event, I’m spending every day of October drenched in awesome-sauce. Today was a day in bed. Ahh, bed, the best place in the world to be. Keeping me company was Courtney Cox and her sitcom Cougar Town. I had never seen the show, and never had any interested in it whatsoever, but the fictional character Abed’s obsession with the show got me interested. Wouldn’t hurt to download the first season and give it a chance. If one is looking for a show similar to the humour of Community, the show that inspired my taste test, you’d… Read More »#Rocktober30 volume -01: Cougar Town
Jekyll is a modern retelling of Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde starring James Nesbitt, and written by Steven Moffat. If you’re unfamiliar with Moffat’s work, what’s wrong with you? He wrote the brilliant sitcom Coupling: He also wrote the brilliant three episode series Sherlock: Now he’s the show runner for Doctor Who: Now back to the subject at hand, Jekyll. Dr. Tom Jackman is already living his double life with his own Mr. Hyde when we meet him. Dr. Jackman brings in a woman (Michelle Ryan *swoon*) to help around the house and be a middle man to the two sides of Jackman. Jackman is hiding the… Read More »Jekyll

Sherlock Holmes is a genius making a name for himself as a Consulting Detective. Holmes is introduced to an ex-army doctor named John Watson. After moving in together at 221B Baker Street in London, Holmes sees an intellect in Watson, and drags him along on a case. This modern-day take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic mystery stories stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Watson. The series was created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss who are perhaps best known for their recent work on Doctor Who. It’s easy to strike similarities between Holmes and The Doctor, and so it’s no surprise that it was these two writers… Read More »Sherlock
