Last season, in week five, Dancing with the Stars broke out of their routine and introduced four new dances: West Coast swing, the hustle, salsa and the jitterbug. It provided a mostly bumpy week in the competition as the pros and stars both had to learn something new. This season it worked a lot better [...]

Imagine my joy at finding Varla Jean’s YouTube page! This is her interpretation of Lionel Ritchie’s “Hello” featuring an assist from Broadway’s Seth Rudetsky.
Nearly two years after it premiered in the UK (and no doubt after the winner has already left the show), we got to see the opening episode of Any Dream Will Do. The competition show is looking for the next star of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The show aired on BBC America last [...]
A week ago I wrote about going to the premiere of Jonathan, Just Because. I’m happy to report that the film is now up on its own website so it can be shared with the rest of the world. Please head on over to jonathanjustbecause.net and spend 15 minutes with this fab film. I just [...]
The Fall 2008-09 season came to a grinding halt last night. The Tigers played at 4, matching up against the Sled Dogs again in a game that didn’t effect either teams play off standing. Based on last week, the Tigers were already out and the Sled Dogs were already in. The game had a slow [...]
I am so happy to be done with Breaking Dawn, the final book in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. I felt like it took forever to get through it, mostly because Meyer stretches stuff out far too long. It’s like she wants to be J.K. Rowling, but she’s just not. The pacing in this book was [...]

Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French and Joanna Lumley take on Streep, Waters and Baranski. “It’s the songs of ABBA with words in between.” [...]
So the only time I seem to post on the blog is when there’s some funny video or trailer that I want to share. My name is Will and I post second-hand content. You know what, I’m okay with that. Besides, I’m not nearly as cool as this guy. His name is Michael and I think he’s [...]
Neil Simon’s 1977 The Goodbye Girl is one of the most perfect movies I know. Yes, it’s a pretty simple romantic comedy: Girl meets boy / girl hates boy / girl grows to love boy / girl nearly has heartbroken / girl finds true love. The excellent cast and sublime writing make this one for [...]
Week three of Dancing with the Stars brought out Sambas and Foxtrots and my goodness did the Sambas get trashed by half the people that did them. Here’s the rundown of tonight’s dances. Denise & Maks: (Samba) Well, Maks looked great in his Carmen Miranda get up in the rehearsal footage, and that was the [...]
