2013 Cannes Film Festival
by Brent on May 15th 2013 at 1:36 pm
66th Annual Cannes Film Festival. Just as Spring is settling in, the film industry's elite are gathering on the French Riviera for the annual Cannes Film Festival. Plenty of films will be shown, some of them in competition for the prestigious Golden Palm - awarded to the creators of the best film - others, simply to be part of the entertainment. Yes, it's a pretty big deal and one that we'd desperately like to be a part of. However, seeing as we can't be, we'll have to settle with imagining the movies...

NCIS Season 10 Finale

Just a short rant from me. Here goes: season 10 of NCIS comes to a close tonight with Cote de Pablo (Ziva David) yet to renew her contract for season 11, ensuring that it will be a frightening episode, regardless of the plot. For those of you a little slow on the uptake, this means that Tony and Ziva, could appear on screen together for the very last time in tonight's episode, "Damned If You Do". That's a scary thought and hopefully an unfounded one. Some of you may not seem too surprised, as Cote de Pablo has been known… read more »

So to celebrate these whacky shows, simply for the sake of celebrating, we've compiled a list of some of the strangest synopses we've come across so far.

Reality TV - why do we keep watching?
by Emily on May 4th 2013 at 1:00 pm
It's mindless entertainment; something to put on in the background or watch when you're nursing a sore head (self-inflicted or otherwise). So why do we keep watching? I'll admit I'm a fan of a few "reality" TV shows, and I'm slightly ashamed to say it. The first show of this kind I remember watching was in 2003; it was Rich Girls and I was 18 - and obviously didn't know what I was getting myself in to! Rich Girls starred Ally Hilfiger (daughter of Tommy) and her best friend Jaime Gleicher as they finished high school and spent their… read more »
Keeping up with NCIS Season 10 - SPOILER ALERT
WARNING! SPOILER ALERT! WARNING! If you're yet to watch up to season 10 episode 21 (Berlin) of NCIS, read no further! With only a few episodes remaining in this season, things are developing fast as the chase for Ilan Bodnar produces fresh evidence. His estranged brother, Yaniv, who was impersonating Ilan, was arrested by Ziva and DiNozzo in Berlin, bringing to light the troubling idea that the real Bodnar has been in the U.S all along. Meanwhile, Mossad knew that he was stateside and have burnt some serious bridges with the top American intelligence agencies in their deceit. But fans… read more »
