DEGRASSI | “Goes Hollywood” movie premiere date

In Degrassi on June 29, 2009 at 1:53 am

I’m hearing that the two-hour Degrassi movie shot last year will finally make it to TV screens near you. After much fanfare, The N will debut the feature-length special August 14. CTV in Canada will premiere the telefilm August 30.

Meanwhile, the remaining episodes of season 8, which CTV aired months ago, kick off stateside beginning this Friday, July 3 at 8p/7c on The N. To celebrate, The N seems to be airing nothing but Degrassi for the next five days.

A slightly spoilery synopsis of the movie is after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

LOST | My first time: season one

In Lost on June 22, 2009 at 1:51 pm

I don’t have a hard time admitting when I’m wrong. And it’s not that I had written Lost off as a pop culture runaway train…but I missed the beginning and it didn’t strike me as the sort of thing one should stumble into the middle of. So I was going to wait it out, and watch the whole thing once it finished airing next May. But somehow the DVDs ended up in my house, and I started watching them last week. Initially I was annoyed with it, this beautifully shot show that seemed to be aimless. I have now finished the first season, and I’m having a hard time staying away from the DVD player.
