CHADWICK BOSEMAN

I, like many, woke on Saturday to the news that that actor Chadwick Boseman had died. His four year private battle with cancer was news that only amplified the shock of his passing. Because of this sudden, tragic loss, I felt compelled to write something for him on fivethreeninety. Aged just 42, Chadwick was an […]

ON SCREEN BEST FRIENDS

Yesterday was my gorgeous friend Jamie’s birthday. You may know him from the various times he has been a guest writer on fivethreeninety, as well as for his own work on his blog When The Credits Roll. He is a true fantastic screenwriter those work I am itching to see be made big time, and […]

TWENTY YEARS OF ANGEL

This weekend, on October 5th, marked the twentieth anniversary of the first episode of Angel. A spin off of the successful Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel ran from 1999 to 2004 & remains to this date (I think), one of the best examples of a television spin off. Indeed, it was only cancelled by the […]

MY BOYFRIEND IN FILMS

Last week was my boyfriend’s birthday, and in typical fivethreeninety fashion I asked him to give me a few of his favourite films so I could write a blog post in honour of him. Key words there are “last week” – it has become a much more weighted question than I ever anticipated, but after […]
