Online video presents The Streamy Awards

Yesterday saw the release of the nominees for the second annual Streamys. For those of you unfamiliar with the awards they celebrate the best in online television and videos.

Last year saw some high profile shows, such as personal fave Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, awarded for their greatness and this year is no different. If for [...]

New trailer for Doctor Who!

This is rather special: Rather than a montage of clips, the new Who trailer is a self-contained fantasy sequence that synopsises the coming adventures of the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith. It also suggests a break with the overwrought Russell T. Davies cul-de-sac that Tennant’s last few outings became (stupid clicking gun, stupid jumping out of [...]

Couch Potato – DVDs Out This Week

Couch Potato this week comes to you a day later than usual. The Oscar nominations yesterday knocked me back a bit so I do apologise. We have an interesting if unexceptional line-up this week, but there should be a little something in the sack to suit everyone’s tastes.

TV Preview: Boardwalk Empire

Yes, I know I’ve been harping on about The Pacific for a while now (it’s the new show from the Hanks-Spielberg Band of Brothers camp), but now I can bombard you with news of another television show that’s months away! Boardwalk Empire is the new drama from Sopranos writer and producer Terry Winter. Better still, [...]

Killer breakdown of the new Doctor Who trailer!

Sci-fi blog io9 has a scene by scene analysis of the new Doctor Who trailer . It’s well worth checking out if only to sample how much fervour this show continues to instill. I’m disappointed to see the Weeping Angels return as I thought Blink was a perfect little story and reusing elements [...]

Feeling Nostalgic for The Noughties?

Remember when we didn’t know who Susan Boyle was?  Or when ‘Ground Zero” was just “the surface directly above or below the point at which a nuclear explosion takes place”?  When we didn’t know what a carbon footprint was and bailouts were strictly reserved for those behind bars? When only farmers drove Four-wheel [...]

Since when did the Irish Famine become something to laugh at?

I don’t know – maybe I’m far too serious for my own good – maybe the Great Famine is something to laugh about, given it’s so long ago. Maybe too this video is just a gentle satire of the current situation and maybe, if it was happening today, this sort of thing might actually happen.
