The Avengers: Earth’s mightiest movie?
I love Marvel. Sure, the DC Universe has Batman and Superman, but Stan Lee has created some awesome heroes. If you haven’t read my other review of X-Men: First Class… you should! And when you have the time, watch it. So, what’s the verdict of the mash-up of Thor, Hulk, Iron Man and Captain America?…

Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die was born to rule
Very, very rarely, an artist will come along who will completely change your perspective on music, and when you find them, it kind of blows your mind that you’ve lived your entire life without hearing their work. I haven’t found many life-changing artists in my day (although Avril Lavigne did introduce me to the magic…
Photo of the Day: Penguins at the Zoo
On Saturday, I went to the zoo and saw these beautiful penguins. I find it amazing how they brought penguins to Calgary and I definitely encourage you all to check them out.
