Death at a Funeral movie review: die laughing
This is one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen, and that’s not something I say lightly. It’s practically Shakespearean in its exquisite foolishness and comedic intrigue.

The Last Legion (review)
Out of the depths of the cheesy cinematic realms of the 1960s comes the, ahem, “real” backstory of King Arthur and his legendary sword, Excalibur.
‘Doctor Who’ blogging: “42”
I’m *so* madly in love with David Tennant’s Doctor. I mean, it’s scary, and sad, how I can’t stop thinking about him. Even in the not-so-awesome episodes like this one.

It’s exactly the opposite, and absolutely terrifying. “Not only is it the 11th hour,” states one of the numerous and impressively credential experts here, “it’s 11:59 and 59 seconds.”
The Muppet Show: Season Two (review)
The list of guest stars is literally legendary… but the real fun… is how the Muppet characters really come into their own…
in Eureka, all the children are above average
[spoilers!] (previous Eureka blogging here and here) Eat your heart out, Garrison Keillor: In the little town of Eureka, all the children really are above average. It struck me while watching last night’s episode of the Sci Fi Channel original series that the last three installments have been, in some way or another, about the … more…
