Kathryn Morris UK

Not So Real Housewife Of The Jersey Shorts

This is KM UK’s 100th item about Fabien Martorell’s short film The Coin aka You Can’t Keep A Good Short Down.

Nearly four years on from our first post about the film (in July 2012) it is returning to the short film festival circuit for an outing in 2016.

The Hang Onto Your Shorts Film Festival is due to have its third running in a month’s time on Sunday the 24th of April.

Based in Asbury Park, New Jersey (south of New York and east of Philadelphia), the festival was started to bring a bit of the creative arts back to the area that was devastated by hurricane Sandy in 2011.

Running from around 10am to a little after 6pm the event is split into 4 or 5 screenings across three venues. Each screening has multiple films in 90-120 minutes. There is some attempt at grouping films into themes but the The Coin being in the ‘Last Set’, due to it being the final group of the day at The Showroom Cinema on Cookman Avenue, gives you some idea of the way things are. There is no repetition of films so even if you did travel to different theatres between screenings you could not see everything.

As you should know by now Kathryn stars in the 9 minute long The Coin as a stressed mother who takes her son to a shop where he meets a kindly homeless man played by Christopher Lloyd.

The Hang Onto Your Shorts Film Festival website has all the details here.

Thanks to Fabien for letting us know about this one.

Hold On To Your Easter Eggs They Might Melt

Let’s face it: nobody likes melted chocolate Easter eggs.

The natural disaster Inferno is being shown again the the Horror Channel here in the UK on Wednesday (23rd of March). The station is on channel 70 on the Freeview system and in tripple digits on the Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media platforms. Check your EPG for details.

You can catch a broadcast at 4pm, a nice early for the students then , or if you miss that there is a repeat the following morning at 10am.

The channel has existed for nearly 12 years now but has only just passed its first anniversary on Freeview. Coincidently, or maybe not, it started on the Friday the 13th of March 2015. Dun, dun, dun!

Inferno involves a fireball heading towards the Earth that is causing temperatures to rise and problems for its inhabitants. Kathryn’s role will also cause temperatures to rise (I’ll leave the ‘balls’ joke to you). James Remar (Dexter) and Stephanie Niznik (Everwood) are the leads. Jonathan LaPaglia (ADA Bell in later episodes of Cold Case) is Kathryn’s partner in crime/grime.

As citizen reviewer Jack from Minnesota says on IMDb:

Kathryn Morris steals the show as the sleazy tow truck driver, the only likable character and the only one who rises above being a compilation of clichés. Everyone else is a cardboard cutout in comparison to her character.

What would Lilly Rush make of her?

Colonization Heads Home

Many years ago the United States Of America was formed by the joining of 13 British colonies down the East coast of the country.

Now, after the series just finished airing its first season on American TV the sci-fi-ish drama Colony is said to be on the way to Britain.

The Digital Spy website has reported that the Sky 1 satellite channel will broadcast Colony to home in the UK starting in early April of this year. This could mean repeats on the Freeview channel Pick (which was once known as Sky 3) at some point in the future.

Read the Digital Spy article here.

Last September, around the time we found out that Kathryn had joined the cast (by then they’d probably completed filming already), it was announced the streaming service Netflix had acquired the global rights to Colony. It will become available there early next year.

As we know Colony has already been signed up for a second season due to air next year. Kathryn’s continuation or otherwise is not known at this point.

KM UK Awards 2016

We were invited to other award shows but didn’t go this time! They gave out stupid prizes, in lightweight categories! We’ll hold our own event, again, and they’re not invited to it!

Let me tell you I know a thing or two about award ceremonies! I’ve done billions of them! They’re the best award ceremonies you’ve ever seen! I’m not just saying that. Everyone knows that! Right?

And we won’t be handing out namby-pamby prizes to ‘winners’. Oh no!

From now on the so-called ‘winners’ will have to make their own statues. They can pull them out of the their own ears, their own… whatever. What’s more, we’ll make them pay us to let them make them for themselves!

And if they don’t like that we’ll force them to do something worse than wakeboarding! That’s a thing right?

We’ve got a new mascot for our event this year. As you can see (above) ‘The RichE’ is a very attractive bear. Yes, before you ask, all the fur is natural. It just grows like that.

It’s time to make the KM UK Awards great again!

Colony S01E09 – Zero Day HD Screencaps

I’m no expert on body language or reading people’s moods, women especially are a mystery (that’s why we love you so), but in the above image I’m sensing a certain amount of anger.

To round up this week in Colony for Charlotte (Kathryn), she:

Tried to further humiliate/punish Maddie (Amanda Righetti, The Mentalist) for breaking ‘the rules’, even though it is not clear she did
Found out that Maddie could be of further use
Suggested to Maddie that she would be rewarded for her loyalty
Got caught out defying the ‘hosts’ to line her own nest
Was thrown under the bus by her own husband Nolan (Adrian Pasdar, Heroes)
Attempted to drop Maddie in it to Proxy Snyder (Peter Jacobson, House)
Was taken away by the authorities

All in a week’s work for an art curator then.

Yes, as we saw in the sneak peek video from the other day things do not look good for Charlotte in her final appearance in this season of Colony, the USA network sci-fi-ish drama series. Her longest screen time yet. There is only one episode left to go.

After Maddie used her knowledge of a largely secret art collection in LA to regain her position with Charlotte she, knowing that it would ingratiate herself even more, arranged for one of the key paintings to be put to one side and kept off the official list. For some reason the ruling alien race want to keep the pretty stuff for themselves. So why was Charlotte still there? 😉

We didn’t see how it happened but someone (Maddie being the obvious source) tipped-off Snyder about Charlotte’s hoarding and he came with the troops in tow. The unlisted painting was found by the ‘Redhats’ and Nolan agreed it should not have been there. Charlotte blamed Maddie who described herself as “just an assistant” when asked who she was. That sealed Charlotte’s fate.

No Kathryn in next week’s season finale but the show is set for a second, slightly longer, season, we know the ‘factory’ is not necessarily the end, and Charlotte is an established part of the Colony universe so they could still bring her back next year.

Either way, it was good to see Kathryn return to the small screen, even if it was in a relatively minor role. Plus, we got to see that smile a bit in this episode. Thank you to the people behind Colony for making that happen.

And, we didn’t get to see the more casual looking Charlotte in the scene shown in a couple of the promo photos released for episode seven. There’s a deleted scene out there…

There are now 132 HD (720p) screencaps of Kathryn in the episode “Zero Day” of Colony in the Gallery.
