 We combined the last fan art update with Kathryn’s birthday celebrations, pushing it late in the month of January. February is a short month but we will just squeeze in some more of your art works before its end.
As we held these over from January because they were not birthday-themed the creators should be happy to see them finally getting posted. Not surprisingly given the release of The Sweeter Side Of Life last month, and the better than-anywhere-else screencaps from it posted here on KM UK, all the new images are themed around the film.
Dianekmfan leads the way with 14 new Banners with Kathy joining in with 2 new collage Wallpapers. Thank you to them both. This latest 16 images brings KM UK’s Fan Art Gallery collection to over 700 items (including avatars, banners, buttons, drawings, videos and wallpapers) and that is all thanks to our dedicated and talented visitors. Check out the Gallery to see them.

 It only took two years, which when you get to cougar-age is not to be taken lightly, but the movie Cougars, Inc. finally received a cinema release here in the UK. We use the past tense “released” because it appears to have been, done and gone, and left to do the walk of shame after a four day fling last week in just a handful of cinemas across England. We doubt it troubled the box office. The information of this release managed to pass KM UK by.
The British Board Of Film Classification (BBFC), the body that issues all films with their official age ratings for the UK market, gave Cougars, Inc. its 15 certificate for feature (cinema) and video (DVD and VOD) at the end of January. Another fact that passed us by.
That the film was submitted for classification (where it received no cuts so will be the same as the US version) and given a theatrical run, albeit a very brief one, does suggest that an official DVD release may be imminent. We’ll keep you posted.
For those few unfamiliar with Cougars, Inc. it is about Sam (Kyle Gallner, in the middle in above photo) and his mis- and miss-adventures. He’s a teen that tends to get into trouble and has been moved to another new school by his mother in the hope of a fresh start. Only mummy can’t pay the expensive fees. Stood-up on his first date with a girl he’s just met Sam takes solace in a bar, where he bumps into Kathryn’s Alison. A morning-after thank you monetary gift to help with his school from said cougar gives Sam’s friends a plan to make more cash from other bored and wealthy women. Hijinks ensue. We’d like to be able to tell you it is a heart-warming tale about lonely souls finding each other, but we can’t.
 The gentlemen on left in the photo above is Fabien Mortorell. He’s the director, a co-writer and a co-producer of the short film The Coin. The 9 minute long movie also stars Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future).
Obviously he is a man of great taste because he chose Kathryn to star in his film (or maybe she has some dirt on him 😮 ) but he is also a very helpful man. “What makes you say that?” I hear you ask. I’ll tell you.
Back in December Fabien very kindly contacted KM UK directly to let us know about a new Facebook page he’s created for the film (we had actually found it already, shortly after it was created  ). Not only that but Fabien and Kathryn have allowed KM UK to share with you the set of on set photos posted there. There is now a link to the FB page in the menu on the right.
Twelve, count ’em, photos (and one previous one updated to a slightly larger version) of Kathryn and co. on the set of The Coin are now in the Gallery.
Many thanks to Fabien and Kathryn.
We hope to bring you more news on this project soon.
  
The Futon Critic website has published Nielsen audience figures covering the 19th of January 2013 on cable TV in the US. The night that included première broadcast of Kathryn’s TV movie The Sweeter Side Of Life.
We can’t claim to fully understand the Nielsen numbers and methods but here they are as reported for TSSOL:
- 1.975 million viewers, #5; 0.366 million adults 18-49 (0.3 rating), #9
In fact the numbers are fairly meaningless without some context. The previous weekend’s Hallmark Channel movie premiere (12 January 2013) was a film called Nearlyweds, starring Danielle Panabaker and Naomi Judd. That film’s figures were:
- 1.323 million viewers, #3; 0.297 million adults 18-49 (0.2 rating), #6
 As you can see TSSOL got over 650,000 more viewers and a 23% higher rating in the, what for some reason is seen as the most important, “key demographic” 18-49 year old age group. We don’t believe that the repeat showings, straight afterwards and since, are included.
The relative positions in the rankings (TSSOL: #5 and #9, Nearlyweds: #3 and #6) don’t paint such a rosy picture though. However, the Lifetime channel’s screening of a drama and documentary about the Casey Anthony trial (a mother charged with the murder of her 2 year old daughter in 2008 which became a huge news story in 2011) took the first and third slots, pushing TSSOL down two from where it would otherwise have been. A few other shows up against TSSOL got large numbers in the “key demo” but were lower overall adding to that #9.
Congratulations to all involved in The Sweeter Side Of Life on its success.

 Review of The Sweeter Side Of Life
It has been a while, too long in fact, since we saw Kathryn in a significant new project. Since the Cougars, Inc. VOD release on the 1st of April 2011 (May for the DVD) there has been… well, nothing really. Of several scenes filmed for Moneyball, one of the biggest movies of 2011, only a singleton made it to the public and that was just as a deleted scene on the DVD. One short film (Sunday’s Mother) that has only been shown at a few festivals. That’s it. As regulars know there are a couple of other projects in the offing: another short (The Coin) and a small role in a feature film (2 Br/1 Ba). That makes this, the lead role in a TV movie, a big deal for us fans of Kathryn. Can it possibly live up to the weight of expectation?
It was so good to have Kathryn back on our screens. We’ve missed her very much. A comedy role like this is new for her too. I have wanted to see her do comedy for a long time and have no doubt she can do it with aplomb.
