I’m not saying she’s a complete mentalist, but Isabella Rossellini’s done eight shorts for the Sundance Film Festival in which she dresses up as various insects and spiders and describes how they procreate. If you’re in the US, you can view them on the Sundance web site. Otherwise, you can view these lovely clips below to give you an idea of the full effect.
Mental but funny, anyway. But is it art?
In the US: Tuesdays, 9/8c, Fox. Starts 9th Sept
In the UK: Not yet acquired, because the UK ain’t buying not nothing right now
There are things in the world that can’t be explained, like the popularity of jazz or mysterious phenomena such as UFOs. Then there are other things that are far more easily explained, such as ‘déjà vu’ – the feeling that you’ve seen something before. That’s usually because you have. In the case of Fringe, it’s because you probably saw an episode of The X-Files once and buried it in the back of your mind.
Fringe, despite the initial presence of government agents investigating weird and spooky things, is fortunately more than just a simple retread of past Fox successes. It’s a disturbing glimpse into a parallel world in which weird fringe science of the 70s actually turned up results, results that are affecting – and sometimes destroying – life as we know it in the present.

It’s here. It’s here! After all that waiting, it’s finally here.
Much like the January sales, there are strategies to be used when you’re going to watch something as anticipated as Sex and the City: the movie. Either you wait all night camped outside and then be the first in before everyone else, or you wait until everyone has been crushed under foot and enter at your leisure afterwards.
Which is why I’m sauntering in with a review of Sex and the City over a week after it opened.
What do you mean I shouldn’t be watching this cos I’m a bloke? Watching movies about women is ‘so gay’? Do you want to have a think about that?
Who’s this by again? “Russell T Davies”? Blimey. Is he still writing for Doctor Who then?
With all the Steven Moffat fuss of late, it’s easy to forget that Russell T Davies – aka RTD OBE – is still showrunner of Doctor Who and will be until 2010. Or that he actually writes scripts for it now and then.
With Midnight, he’s drawn something of the short straw for himself – the “we’ve run out of budget and Catherine Tate needs a break” episode. But given a small cast and three sets or so to play with, Rusty doesn’t do a bad job at all.
In fact, there’s only one man who can bring this house of cards tumbling down. You guessed it. It’s Murray Gold.
