The New Normal‘s premiere episode is hands down one of the best put together pilots to grace my iPhone screen in quite some time. With a minimum of fuss, and a maximum of laughs almost from the word go, this new sitcom from Ryan Murphy (Glee, American Horror Story) and Continue Reading
Season return: “The Walking Dead” season 3
* SPOILER ALERT * No one said life in a zombie apocalypse would ever be easy and The Walking Dead proved that right once again in the dramatic opening episode to season 3. With Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) looking very pregnant, after a winter spent on the road with Continue Reading
Music review: “Feed Me Diamonds” by MNDR
MNDR, an electronic music duo that sprang forth from New York in 2009 when Amanda Warner and Peter Wade got together to make down and dirty dance music, but which essentially functions as a solo vehicle for Ms Warner, have released an album of some of the finest synth-laden Continue Reading

Season return: “The Big Bang Theory”
EPISODES WATCHED: “Date Night Variable” / “The Decoupling Fluctuation” Everyone favourite group of nerds is back! But not necessarily all in the one place. If you recall season 5 ended with a newly married, and more-than-slightly- terrified Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) blasting into space with two very unsympathetic fellow Continue Reading

The goofy but intelligent sitcom, which began its ascendancy a few years back with the underrated Raising Hope, and continued moving on up with last year’s breakout hit, New Girl, has climbed a little higher up the mountain with new comedy Ben and Kate.

Movie review: “Ruby Sparks”
