BY now you are bound to have seen or maybe even read entirely, several reviews of Peter Shaffer's Amadeuswhich is on at Theatre On The Bay, starring Alan Committie and Aidan Scott. I very much doubt if any of them are bad or mediocre reviews. I am sure they are all excellent. Like Beverley…

HERE are the April highlights for M-Net 101. I think I'm bored with The Goldbergs now so it can happily end with its 10th and final season. So Help Me Todd suffered from a break in season one and I never did get back into it. The Winter King is on my list, I've seen Funny Womanwhich is all right…

FOR a series that is so dramatically and strikingly gorgeous to watch, the publicity stills for Tokyo Vice are rather disappointing (except for the one above, which I found with Google images, thank you). Looking at them doesn't make me want to watch it, but I have watched it already and highly…

THESE days I’m being reminded about songs I love being 30, 40 even 50 years old. It can be quite traumatic, and I have to take to my bed to recover. So it’s not too bad to recall GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World opened in December 2000; I can deal with that, unless you say that’s nearly of a…

THE photograph above reiterates that. It was all fun and FarmVille back in the old days but social media has become insidiously evil (yes) and alarmingly damaging, especially to young users. Just the other day, US Congress grilled social media executives about the damage their platforms do; and…

THE day has finally arrived. It's been a gentle jog for the past few weeks but suddenly a massive sprint to the finish line. Have you seen all the new content? It's mind-boggling. Viewers over the past weekend would have been treated to some early bird specials with episodes sneaking in before the…

IT'S been a process, this migration of old Showmax to new Showmax, but it's almost complete. By Monday, 12 February, all subscribers should be successfully set up (it was such a painless and seamless procedure) and hours and hours of new content will be available (days, weeks, months even). Here,…
