I recently got the chance to watch a film called “Waking Life.” It was a very different kind of film, but I think that it’s different in a good way. This is an animated film that follows a young man trapped in a series of dreams where he converses with people or acts as a…
DJ Masa’s career began in 2005, when he discovered the mixing software Sound Forge. From that time on, he had a strong interest in music. His first project “Girls Yeah Top (BOA)” got a lot of positive reviews. As Boa’s projects became more and more known, he decided to expand his work to other Asian…
There are only three words to describe this amazing show: humorous, witty, and entertaining. Who knew a group of four nerds could entertain the masses? The clever jokes told on the television series provide delight for nerds across the world, from jokes that allude to Star Trek or various Marvel Comics, there is a joke…
In the film A Walk To Remember, the main character had a list of 100 things she wanted to do before she died. That inspired me to make a list of things I wanted to do before I die. Plus, the season finale of the Buried Life is on tonight, a show where a group…
2010-2011’s Empty Bowls event has officially been launched! On Nov. 18, the first orientation meeting for the making of bowls took place at the Wild Flower Arts Centre. Volunteers and steering committee members were given the opportunity to tap into their artistic talent to make clay bowls with a creative twist. All of these bowls…
The world needs leaders, in whatever area of expertise individuals choose to pursue. Attending two Canadian Red Cross workshops, intending to train internal Red Cross volunteers to become facilitators, plunged me into becoming more engaged in world affairs. I had previously spoken about this in another post. It was quite intimidating, as I tried to…
Being one of my passions in life, I think music is an important factor in the lives of men. As a listener of an extremely wide range of music, I am sometimes distressed to see that many people don’t explore music outside of their comfort zone. I listen to a lot of jazz, rock, electronic…
I recently got the opportunity to watch A Nightmare on Elm Street. I wanted to see the new one, but I ended up watching one from 1996. A cool fact about this movie is that it introduced Johnny Depp into the acting world. I thought this movie was very good. It is about a man…
Mozart’s contemporary Joseph Haydn once said this about him: “posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years.” The extent to which this prediction was right is controversial, because along came Beethoven followed by Chopin in a couple of decades. However, the fact that Mozart was an artistic genius who pushed the boundaries…
Usually, I would only review books written by award-winning authors, but I had to make an exception this time. “Got Fight?” is written by Forrest Griffin, one of the most loved and well-known MMA fighters out there. Watching his interviews, one can easily tell that the guy is hilarious, so I was quite excited when…
Spoiler alert: This review will give significant plot developments away. As the film starts, you will be able to sense strong themes of blackness and death. But just as I was immersed in a fierce fight with all of Harry’s friends disguised as him (through Polyjuice potion), the movie suddenly changed to finding the horcruxes.…
A turtle, a Jack-O-Lantern, a piano, a balloon, and a dragon? When did these things ever come together in the same category?! At Empty Bowls, of course. Last Thursday, the Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) Steering Committee courageously headed down in the bitter cold to create ceramic bowls at the Wildflower Arts Center. Empty Bowls is a project that calls…
Who knew such a thing would cause so much commotion?? I was on Twitter the other day, reading this awesome YouTuber, Meekakitty’s tweets, and one caught my eye: “WHY AREN’T THE BEATLES ON ITUNES?!” So I decided to investigate this. Sure enough, I checked on iTunes and the Beatles were nowhere to be found! This…
The Four Seasons, the most popular Baroque music in history, was composed by Antonio Vivaldi in 1723. He was an Italian Baroque composer who was born in 1678 in Venice. He is known mainly for composing instrumental concertos, especially for the violin. While I was researching The Four seasons, the beautiful melody and themes entranced…
Friday the 13th was not as scary as I thought it was going to be. It had a very good plot and the movie kept you guessing about what was going to happen next. The movie involves a group of friends that go missing when they go on a camping trip. Then the brother of…
