If I had to sum this movie up in one word, I think that word would be “WOAH!” This movie was definitely not what I was expecting after reading the back of the box. For Halloween movies, this was not my favorite, but it was not bad. The whole movie is actually kind of confusing.…
I love the group Improv Everywhere. The audience’s reaction to their random performances are simply priceless. I recommend it for a mature audience because there is some strong language. Essentially this video is about the adventures of six people trying to find their friend Rob, and how soon they can involve at least half the…
Recently I saw an article in the Calgary Herald about Iran and how the rapidly modernizing country has joined the arms race and has joined the nuclear weaponry team by creating several nuclear power plants to create “additional energy” for Iranian national interest. This discovery was made by the UN when it built it a…

Tests are the worst thing about school. Especially in Grade 12, where the majority of your mark depends on tests. I have a couple tips and study methods I use to help me get ready for tests that I would like to share. 1) Pay Attention in Class It may be obvious but paying attention…
Performed by a great group, Improv Everywhere, this spontaneous musical launched in a food court will make you laugh, if not smile. Random singing and a unsuspecting audience makes for a great performance. This food court musical is original and funny. [youtube dkYZ6rbPU2M]

Winter break is almost here and it’s time to shout a big Hallelujah! It’s that time of the year again when you can say goodbye to tests, quizzes, tedious homework assignments, lectures, et cetera for a good two weeks. For a lot of us Grade 12s, it’s also the last winter break we get to spend as…
In my experience, moving away from your friends and family can be hard, especially when you’ve lived somewhere for what seems like forever. But not all is lost! Try to think positively, think about your new school and a chance to make new friends. Think not about going, but about coming. And try to remember…
What a fancy and mysterious term! But you know, you probably know what I’m talking about if you’ve ever had Sea-Monkeys as pets.

An organism in this state can practically live…
First off, I would like to say that this is a pretty good movie. It is a little creepy in some scenes but nothing too bad. This movie is based on this orphan named Esther. She seems to be a cute and innocent child that loves to draw pictures. But most of the pictures she…
George Frideric Handel was a German-British Baroque composer of exponential talent, composing many operas, oratorios and concertos. Handel’s works are most famously attributed to his use of word painting, a technique used in music to have the melody mimic the literal meaning of the lyrics. Handel’s Messiah interprets the Christian view of the Messiah, or…

I’m glad I took them, since my dad is quite the cuisine connoisseur and his enthusiasm for the restaurant…
