 You could almost set your watch, or more precisely calendar, by the ITV3 schedule.
People often say horrible things about the people that create the TV schedules. Most often this is because their favourite programme has been moved to a less popular or more inconvenient timeslot. You can’t say that about the schedulers at ITV3, oh no. June 2010, June 2012, and now June 2013 (not sure if we just missed June 2011). Each year the TV movie Murder, She Wrote: A Story To Die For, a spin-off from the popular TV series, has been shown on ITV3 in the UK. That’s not a scatter-gun or sadistic approach to timetables. It’s more like a case of OCD. Let’s see if it happens again in 2014.
This year’s outing is on Saturday (8th June) at 12 noon and repeated on Sunday morning at 7:55am. And, of course there are the ITV3 +1 (which is not the same as ITV4  ) re-showings.
For those few of Kathryn’s fans that haven’t seen it Kathryn has a significant guest starring role in the film. A bit of comic relief and, for once, a suspect in a major crime. She doesn’t get to solve the crime or play the ‘love interest’, which, based on who plays the main leads (English-born actress Angela Lansbury and the late Richard Crenna) that is probably a good thing
Details can be found on the Radio Times website.
Screencaps (such as the one above) from the film can be found in the Gallery.
Nearly two months a go now KM UK broke the news of The Sweeter Side Of Life‘s DVD release in the US. We followed that up with a link to Amazon’s listing of the disc, which should make it easier for anyone outside of America to order it if they wish.
 In the past couple of weeks the director of the film, Michael Damian, started promoting the release on Twitter and the official Facebook page for the film. We’ve no idea where he gets his info from 😉 The online shops he has linked to agree with the 16th July 2013 launch date we originally reported.
Here, in no particular order, are a few of the major online US retailers with The Sweeter Side Of Life available for pre-order on DVD:
Prices (at time of going to press) on those sites range from $10.81 to $13.44, excluding shipping and taxes. No doubt it will be available from all good retailers, and some rubbish ones too Those outside the US can use a local Amazon account to order from the American region site.
We’ve been able to obtain a hi-res version of the “3D” box art image (right) you will see on some of those sites. A copy has now been added to the Gallery.
If you are not in the US and see the film on sale in your region please let us know in a comment or via the Contact form.
 Somewhat ahead of the July release of the DVD (as first noted here on KM UK back in April) of The Sweeter Side Of Life a video some very DVD extra-like special features has been posted on YouTube. The video uploader is a member of the production crew responsible for the DVD extras.
The 8 minute long video contains brief interviews with co-writer/director/producer Michael Damian and his wife co-writer/producer Janeen Damian; and actors James Best, Jane March, Steve Varnom, Catherine Hammond and, of course, a certain Kathryn Morris. It’s mainly the usual summation of the plot and how wonderful everyone involved is. Interspersed with the interviews are clips from the film and behind the scenes footage from filming in New York and Bucharest.
Whether this is the DVD extras in their entirety or not we will just have to wait and see.
You can cannot watch the video on YouTube HERE.
A small set of Full HD (1080p) screencaps and a small copy of the video are now available in the Gallery.
Update: For reasons unknown the YouTube video has been made private.
  
 For some of the world today (12th May 2013) is Mother’s Day. Many places have taken the American ‘Hallmark holiday’ and applied it to existing celebrations of mothers and motherhood at other times of the year. In the UK for example we have Mothering Sunday (usually called Mother’s Day) back in March. Why do you make your mothers wait an extra two months? Meanies
In a great bit of timing production company Titan Pictures Media (TPM) has given us the perfect excuse to mention for the first time in a while the short film Kathryn made in 2011: Sunday’s Mother. TPM produced the short about a boy (Chase Ellison as Sunday) and his mother (Kathryn as Gillian) moving to a new area. Sunday is bullied by someone claiming to have a secret about his mother.
The company has relaunched their website, which now prominently includes the show reel for the film’s director Aaron Jackson. In the 5 minute long collection of clips there are some bits from Sunday’s Mother not previously seen in the trailer or the short excerpt that KM UK exclusively brought to you last year. The new site also includes said trailer and promo photos we’ve seen previously (here, here, here and here).
We hope to bring you more news on Sunday’s Mother in the not too distant future.
Happy Mother’s Day.
 It is not often that examples of Kathryn’s work get aired on the main TV networks here in the UK. When they do we try and make a bit of fuss about them here on KM UK. Two on one day is almost unheard of, even if one them is just about the smallest guest starring role possible.
This Saturday (11th May 2013) those in the UK can get a double dose of Kathryn booking-ending the day. For this reason we are calling Saturday British Kathryn Morris Day. Of course on KM UK every day is a KM Day.
Very late on Friday, at 12:50am when it is technically Saturday, Channel 4 are showing the the romdramedy (that’s romantic comedy drama) As Good As It Gets. The 1997 movie starring Helen Hunt (Mad About You) and Jack Nicholson (Batman) is one of Kathryn’s earlier film roles and very, very brief. She’s on screen for less than 10 seconds and has no dialogue. You do get a real sense of the character “Psychiatric Patient” in that time though. She’s a little jumpy. The other 8330 seconds are worth watching too.
To complete the day the BBC dusts off Minority Report for the first time in 13 months. Here Kathryn has a more substantial role, not that that is too difficult in comparison :-), as the wife of Tom Cruise’s main character in this Steven Spielberg directed sci-fi action film from 2002. John (Tom) and Lara (Kathryn) are estranged, a situation caused by the death of their son some years before. Tom works as a police office for a special squad that prevent major crimes (primarily murders) happening with advanced warning from a set of triplets that can see the future. When John is implicated in a murder he goes on the run to clear his name.
So that’s 00:50 on Channel 4 and 23:50 on BBC1 this Saturday. If you can, enjoy British Kathryn Morris Day UK.
