Deadloch Amazon Studios, OK Great Productions, Guesswork Television Amazon Prime Video #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Deadloch is an Australian comedy/crime show. It is set in a town called Deadloch, Tasmania.  In the first episode, Trent Latham (Barry Wheeler) is found naked and dead on a beach.  The question is can Sergeant Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Det. Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) work together to solve the mystery?  It's a whodunnit. Enjoy! Description Deadloch is an eight-part crime comedy. When a local man turns up dead on a beach, two vastly different detectives are thrown together to solve the case. Deadloch puts a comedic spin on the crime genre, completely flipping it and challenging the tropes of the genre.

The series features a large ensemble cast led by Kate Box (Fires, Wentworth), Madeleine Sami (The Breaker Upperers), Nina Oyama ...

Christmas in the Square 2019 By: Jovin Tardif November 30, 2019  I love the holidays, but I also understand the bigger picture.  We are all extremely blessed this time of year.  We are making our list and checking it twice.  Everyone is running around on Black Friday looking for the latest gadgets, new fashion, great deals, and gifts for the family.  It's the most wonderful time of the year.  However, there are others that aren't as fortunate.  They could be in a tougher situation and they need your help.  After meeting the Salvation Army at Hope in the City, I was informed of another event that was happening in our city on Friday, November 29th, 2019 at Yonge-Dundas Square, 1 Dundas St E, Toronto.  Starting at 11:30am, you can head over to Yonge-Dundas Square, enjoy the festivities, a warm cup of hot chocolate and hang out with your friends at CTV and the Salvation Army.  You had the opportunity to participate in sing-alongs to Celebrat...

Three Thousand Years of Longing

Three Thousand Years of Longing Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, United Artists Releasing Release date August 26, 2022 Idris Elba ("The Djinn") discusses Three Thousand Years of Longing My first impression was that it was a wonderful, fantastical story. Tilda has been like an incredible partner, just an incredibly fantastic actor, a complete, majestic figure.  Tilda and I were keen to make sure that the language, just the story, really affects the audience in a way that the audience would go...I wonder what I would have done.  Tilda Swinton ("Alithea") discusses Three Thousand Years of Longing Idris and I met once at a party which is a very rare sentence for me to say. I don't go to many parties, but I met him at a party. We exchanged that sort of very banal statement Oh, it would be lovely to work together.  I am a huge admirer of George's cinema. He in so many ways makes a cinema that I respond to like a child.  The shape, of the film, the sort of trajectory arrows...
