This past weekend the Olympics had an amazing wrap up. Not only did Canada get the most gold medal ever won by a country in the winter Olympics but we beat the US in the gold medal game for hockey! That was one, seriously, intense game. I was glued to the television for the whole… […]
I am not a huge sports fan. I prefer to play than watch. I used to be on a team which made it a natural step to watch the games as well. I was into basketball and baseball but strikes, scandals, and continuous loses ruined the sports for me. Every once in a while I… […]
After last week’s frivolousness at the movie theatre I thought it best to watch something of substance this week. I needed to watch something that wasn’t so packed with cheese that it may induce a heart attack. Something that made the mind work and wasn’t just filler. I needed to watch a film not a… […]
This weekend was very busy. Not just for me but all over the place. Friday was the start of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. I am glad they are finally here because I don’t know how much longer I would have been able to take those “Believe†commercials on CTV. Gaw, we get it. Then it… […]
It is February. The days are cold, the sun is shining, and no one care what is in the theatre. It is a dumping ground for cinematic crap. The movies of the month are just filler while all the good stuff is being made or winning awards and that is why I got stuck seeing… […]

He stepped out of the spotlight after his alcoholism got out of control and he made those anti-Semitic comments… […]
Friday was the last episode of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien after a few weeks of controversy. It was the end of a way too short era that really should not have happened. By the time Friday came though I was kind of glad it was ending. The media hoopla and the battle of… […]
Science Fiction is a great genre for filmmakers to explore. They can let their imagination run wild because there is no way someone can tell them they are wrong. They can create technologies, languages, and whole civilizations. Even if they do anchor their story with things that do already exist they can use them in… […]
Over the last few days there has been a big hoopla about late night television. NBC is changing the line-up because The Jay Leno Show did not do as anticipated. NBC made promises to Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, and Jimmy Fallon based on their own hype and it has now blown up in their face… […]
You know what I hate? When I go to a theatre and I have to make a choice. Its not that I don’t like having options it’s just then I always think I am missing something great no matter what I choose. I could have enjoyed whatever I picked but there is always a little… […]
