Resolutions aside, 2013, and for me that means it's time for midseason shows to begin! Last years Fall schedule was all over the place with most of the networks holding back their new shows for 2013 release.
Here's my picks for the new year...
The Carrie Diaries
The long awaited Sex and the City prequel is due to premiere on the CW in the US this January. Originally penned by Candace...

During the months of cold, grey winter, it can be easy to fall into hibernation mode, complete with large, baggy sweaters and piles of comfort food. Some people might escape to balmier regions, like the Caribbean or the Mediterranean, but that would mean swapping your woolly sweater for a bikini after months of eating Christmas cookies and not shaving your legs.

Movie Events
This year saw the release of the final installment of the Twilight Saga, Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2. Twilight fans came out in force to see their favourite franchise off in style, taking $227.4 million in its first ten days in...

New Year’s Eve is, without fail, the most consistently disappointing event of the whole year. There's so much optimism and enthusiasm then it's over too quickly. Yet, each time it rolls around I manage to convince myself that perhaps this year will be different. We all do it.

2013 looks like an exciting year for cinema. It's only right we give you a sneak peak, beginning with the return of two British institutions.
About Time and The World's End
Our cinemas have lacked romance in recent years. There's a glimmer of hope for 2013. Richard Curtis is back in May with About Time, a time-travelling romantic comedy starring Rachel McAdams and Domhnall Gleeson (Bill Weasley in Harry Potter). Unfortunately ther...

So, that was it. 2012 is practically over, and with it some of the best television we've seen in years. Here's my pick of what you should've been watching in 2012.
Homeland
Given the hype that surrounded this show, and the fact that it's about the only watchable show on Channel 4 these days, I wouldn't have thought that there was anyone out there who'd missed this. But I still meet people who haven't gotten around to it. ...

In a year crowded with big names and big promises, the quality film-making was to be found elsewhere – in independents, foreign films and unknown actors. And (without big advertising or production budgets) they're still only just filtering through...

Let’s face it, the weather this year has been seriously inclement. And – other than those few weeks during the summer when we were all inexplicably transfixed by sport – there has plenty of opportunity to get some reading done. Here’s a round up of the books that made waves in 2012.

Christmas - the perfect time to pop on your onesie and slip in front of the TV. And there's certainly plenty to feast your eyes on this year.
Drama
Ah the soaps at Christmas! How they fill us with festive cheer... Or at least make our families feel normal. Whatever your soap of choice, once you've revelled in the tragedy/ affair/ murder/ arrest/ disastrous wedding/ apocalypse, you'll find plenty of sentimental dramas in which t...

Despite the noise that heralded some of the year’s big-budget releases, the world of cinema has felt fairly quiet in 2012. Even now, cinema-goers have not yet unpacked the full potential of 2012's films.
