Cooking, eating and washing up feels like never ending Sisyphean torture. Wearing clothes other than pyjamas counts as an achievement. Leaving the house to go to shops feels like an activity that should warrant sponsorship.…

New DVD releasebring, girls, helped, spice, together

I already had many reasons to be thankful director Rachel Talalay has been behind the camera, making movies and TV shows, since the 90s, but add another one to the list.
