When these people welcome you to the neighborhood, there ain’t no songs and green cardigans. Instead there are werewolves, demon possession, and a whole lot more! Netflix has already successfully pursued the original TV series market with its political drama, House of Cards. And it will earn a reputation for original series soon if the…
I’m a pretty big Harry Potter fan. I grew up reading the books and watching the movies, so when I heard that Emma Watson’s next big role would be a big step away from her image as Harry’s pal Hermione I was both nervous for the change and excited for the transition. Earlier this week,…
There are few bromances that are more epic than the one between Sherlock Holmes and John Watson (or more than just a bromance if you choose to read between the lines that way). When Clare Toohey and I went to the Daintiest Thing Under a Bonnet Sherlockian charity ball in January, we told you we…
We all have our causes and our pet peeves (pun intended), but a man has taken it one step further and is campaigning to eradicate cats (also known as predators) from New Zealand.

It is a rare occasion that brings together 75 Sherlock Holmes aficionados, their friends, and significant others in one place, but that’s exactly what happened on January 10 at the Salmagundi Club in Manhattan for the First Daintiest Thing Under a Bonnet Charity Ball.

Going in, knowing a little about the background after having read the articles that initiated the book and movie, I felt I knew enough to be comfortable with…
I'm a huge fan of ABC's Castle. It seems like the perfect storm of a premise for crime writers—a well-known mystery author who works with the NYPD to get inspiration for his novels, and on occasion helps to solve the weekly murder. Now, I'm sure you all know the premise of the show, but did…
Over the years, we’ve heard plenty of strange names come out of Hollywood (I’m talking to you Gwyneth Paltrow and your daughter, Apple; or Jenna Elfman’s son Story). And I’m sure you’ve heard plenty of unique names out in the “real” world. A favorite of mine is the uptick in the names Isabella and Edward…
Hannibal Lecter is a pretty terrifying person. There have been lots of movies (some awe-inspiring, some…not so much) based on this character and there have even been some people who seem to take his diet to heart. But you have to admit that seeing Anthony Hopkins and crew laughing it up behind the scenes does…
