Analysis of a Scene XVIII: Minder – The Balance of Power
The Balance of Power (click link for episode recap) is one of our favorite Minder episodes because it actually turns out rather well for Chisholm. Every scene he is in is pure gold, but the chocolates raid swoop is a … Continue reading

Patrick Malahide as Dr. Melrose in Heaven
Dr. Melrose: A Study in Evil Patrick Malahide played the villainous Dr. Melrose in Heaven, a 1998 New Zealand / USA co-production. And I do mean villainous. He isn’t at all sympathetic. I often sympathize a bit with Patrick Malahide’s … Continue reading
