The Savage Eye

What can I say about this show?? It's so brilliant and the sketches are really relatable! But some of it is a bit rude, so DO NOT WATCH WITH PARENTS!! Trust me, it's awkward.
There are two series and the second one is being shown on RTE now on Mondays around 9 or 10pm.are David McSavage is the creator and the main star of the show, and he is a wonderful actor, really and truly. He does the accents very well and his Garda impression is spot-on, and his paedophile priest sketch (in every episode!) is hilarious! I'd say that my favourite character has to be the 'President for Life' and her 'housebound'. McSavage is brilliant as the President, who refers to her/himself as 'me, The Irish Nation'.
Here are a few pictures of the sketches:

Syfy's Alice

Alice is basically about a woman called Alice who follows her boyfriend, Jack, through a mirror when he gets kidnapped. She ends up in Wonderland, a mystical place ruled by the Queen of Hearts. The Queen is quite evil, kidnapping humans (Oysters, in Wonderland terms) and draining them of ther positive emotions by keeping them in a casino where they gamble to their heart's content...never losing!
Alice is brought to the Hatter, who runs a tea shop and also works for the resistance against the Queen. They embark on a journey to find Jack and send the pair home, but it's not as simple as it seems...

I loved this. I had been waiting for a new miniseries ever since Sherlock, and Tin Man before that, and I have to say that it really did make my day!! Filled with crazy twists and brilliant ideas, it's one to watch! I found out though recently that it had previously been aired in 2009, and this is the second time that it's being shown, but that's an advantage as there's already a lot of content about it on the internet.

The cast is great, although during the first part I kept thinking that Caterina Scorsone, who plays Alice, might not have been the best choice as she doesn't have the blonde hair that is so classically Alice. Now I think she does suit the part, but you may have to get used to her. She is, however, a superb actress, and after watching the full 3-hour movie (split into two parts) I fully agree with the choice of the casting director.
Andrew-Lee Potts plays Hatter, who is basically the male lead in this production. He was a brilliant choice for the part, he looks a bit mad and quirky yet a bit relatable and very fanciable (and I'm sure the girls will agree with me on this one!).
The other main characters in the story are:
Kathy Bates: Queen of Hearts
Colm Meany: King of Hearts
Philip Winchester: Jack Chase
Matt Frewer: White Knight

Harry Dean Stanton has a small part in the film as Caterpillar, as does Tim Curry, who plays Dodo, the leader of a branch of the resistance.

All in all, I'd probably give this a 9.5 out of 10, the other 0.5 being taken away because it was too short for me and there are no plans to expand on it!!

Truthful Profile

It always seems like there's nobody that truly understands me. Not in a bad way or anything, I sort of like being an unreadable book, it helps me to feel in control. I just wish there was somebody out there that knows what I'm feeling like, but that's a very slim possibility. I know I'm no saint. I've never done anything bad really, but I think in a completely different way to everybody else. I know what people like and what they're more than likely going to think and say so I act in the way that appeals to them. I'm like a human chameleon really. I know I'm not the only person like that out there, but I know I have a very rare mindset.
People think I'm so nice, and I act nicely and think nicely but I always have that voice in the back of my head telling me the worst things to do, in the slyest way. I don't mind, but if I ever said this to anyone, people would see me in a whole different light.
I'm not horrible, I just sometimes nearly act on impulse. It's like, steal this 2euro, she'll never miss it. Come on, do this, nobody'll ever know. And nobody ever does. That's what scares me, I don't know how far I'll go. I don't ever feel guilt, I never have. Ever. All I've ever felt is scared and upset that somebody might find out and I'll get into trouble. Guilt is what scares me, or the lack thereof. I have a conscience, but I never feel guilty, so I know what to do or not to do, but if I ever did something bad I wouldn't ever feel guilty, just a bit freaked out that someone might notice.
All through this I've said scared, but when I say scared I son't mean terrified, just a tiny bit annoyed that if I'm caught out it ruins my plans. I'm also very selfish, but for the sake of others and blending into society I put others first.
Who could ever go out with me or get to know me properly without being freaked out? Seriously I might as well just give up on finding the perfect guy out there. What you see is so not what you get.
