Steven ‘Producer Credit’ Seagal

Monday, March 16th, 2009

I had the pleasure of watching the latest Seagal direct to dvd yesterday, Pistol Whipped. While no way as piss-poor as the festering wart of hatred for the art of the cinema that was Attack Force, this is not the sleek continuation of the rather good Urban Justice I was hoping for, though it did [...]

Masters 2009

Monday, January 19th, 2009

Though I missed the end due to the foul horrors of commuting, this years snooker Masters was about as good as any tournament I can think of, and the final was just perfect.

Miami steps it up with a bow murder based episode, featuring several of the key elements for a good show.

The murderer was a high school girl trying to execute her rival with a bow and arrow. Her target was a swimmer and eCelebrity, and the plan was to stand in some bushes [...]

Salas & Wolfe – PIs

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Despite offering no further hope for my long awaited spin off (see title), the opening blast from CSI Miami did give us this gem on explaining why HoCaine’s hitherto unknown son had the name John Walden as father on his birth certificate: “John Walden was an alias I used while on a special task force [...]
