Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries

by Tazim Damji

miss fishers murder mysteries

I've been watching a lot more TV shows lately — not all are gripping enough to keep me interested for very long, though. Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries has everything you'd expect from a great period murder mystery show: A stylish, strong-willed  woman, a gold pistol, lots of fashionably-dressed people and. . .a handsome police inspector. The Australian TV series just released its first season on Blu-ray and DVD, in celebration of its second season coming out.  ...

Watching TV CAN Be a Social Activity

by Tazim Damji

tube time

Brought to you by Tubetime. I checked out this new gadget to get social while watching TV. One way that I've found to be social and spend some alone-time relaxing in front of the TV, is by using the Tubetime adaptor and app. Connecting with new people that I hadn't known before, talking about my favourite TV shows and movies — sounds like a good time, to me. The Tubetime app is free and available for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch on iOS 5.1.1 and previous versions. I like using my iPad for most ...

Titanic at 100 Mystery Solved DVD Set

by Tazim Damji

Titanic DVD

As this year is the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, there has been a lot of focus on the history, lives of the passengers, and the beauty of the ship. I've noticed that Netflix has added the feature film to their lineup, and I plan on watching it this month. The thing about the Titanic is that there is something appealing for just about everyone—people interested in building/architecture, those who like pretty clothing and interiors, and those who like to know more about the ...

Ancient Egypt Anthology DVD

by Tazim Damji

egypt

There's almost 11 hours worth of Egyptology fun in the 6 disc Ancient Egypt Anthology set from history. If watched a disc a day, you or your children could have almost a week worth of Egypt fun and education. I've seen a fair amount of Egyptian artifacts in museums and galleries around the world. Despite having read a bit about each piece I've seen in a museum, I couldn't really get a feel for how Egyptian history shaped the history of the rest of the world, until I watched this set of DVDs, ...

I Can Hear the Sound of Charioteers — The Ancient Rome Anthology DVD Set

by Tazim Damji

Ancient Rome History

It was years ago that I first started getting interested in ancient Rome—the history, the fashion, the artwork . . .everything! Like many book-nerds, I found myself in the library on (perhaps) too many weekends and summer breaks, pouring over books on ancient Rome, or at home in front of the TV watching (and re-watching many times) the movie Ben-Hur. Back then, we didn't have fancy channels like History or A and E to keep me entertained. I was forced to check out movies from the library on this, ...

The Secret is Knowing How We Got Here: Mankind The Story of All of Us Blu-Ray Series

by Tazim Damji

mankind

When I'm feeling small and a little bit lost, it helps to think about something much bigger than myself—in this case, the history of humans, in the form of Mankind The Story of All of Us. History channel's Mankind The Story of All of Us is available in both DVD and Blu-ray format. The 12-part series looks especially beautiful in Blu-ray, which is what I received for review. The entire series is well-acted with reenactments, coupled with narration from experts in the specific fields related to ...

Empire Theatres Reel Babies Program #ReelBabies

by Tazim Damji

reel babies

Ever want to see a movie but can't find, or don't want to spend the money on a babysitter? Empire Theatres has a great program where you can take the kids with you to the movies. I like that the movies on offer this month are 'chick flicks' that mothers can watch alone (with their young children), but I know that you can have a say about the movies on offer. Maybe you would like more 'family friendly' movies? Twice a month people can go to a Reel Babies movie at select theatres, with children ...

An Ode to Ugly Betty

by Tazim Damji

Bye-Bye Ugly Betty!  I am quite sad that this show has been cancelled and that the last episode has all ready aired. However, having lasted 4 seasons, I'm not sure how much longer I wanted it to continue given the crazy story-lines and changes that have happened all ready. Photo from ABC promo pics. Why I liked the Show: The combination of different characters with different backgrounds, personalities and goals was refreshing. I feel that the characters all had a lot of depth and were fully ...
