Well let me start off by saying this movie is pretty weird. It is about this night watchman at a museum that is being done up. One night, he mysteriously kills himself by slitting his throat with a piece of broken mirror. The museum then hires another night watchman to fill the shift. He then…
[youtube isjY34VD5jE] To tell readers the truth, I didn’t have high hopes for this movie. I had never heard anyone speak of it before, nor did I know what kind of story I was in for. Was it going to be like Jaws, or more of a generic incident-struggle-accomplishment movie? Luckily, it was neither of…
The story of the Hunchback of Notre Dame by the French Romanticist Victor Hugo is one that many have heard, but few know. Most of us know the story from the Disney movie; the story of a hunchback named Quasimodo who struggles between his desires and his reality and ultimately settling so that everyone one…
Nowadays, joining the circus isn’t an easy alternative to “running away from home” (or so that’s what Hollywood thinks). Putting on a clown nose doesn’t make you a clown, and putting white make-up on you does not automatically make you a mime. Last Friday and Saturday, theatre-goers had the opportunity to witness the astounding Cirque…

They also convey a natural and effortless sense of style; the type that says “I have comfortable, down to earth…
On Friday, I had the chance to go see the movie “Battle Los Angeles” with a couple of friends. This movie was not quite what I expected… but then again, movies are rarely what I expect them to be. The plot is quite simple; an alien race invades earth for our resources and a group…

The magicial tale of Scheherazade, and the collection of her stories from One Thousand and One Nights, captures the exotic and mysterious aura of the Middle East and South Asia. The story goes that the Sultan Shakriar, fearfully distrustful of the inconstancy of women, had sworn to execute every single one of his wives after the first…
Who knew a reality show about a pawn shop would be so interesting? To clear up some confusion, to pawn means to give up an item as security for a loan, like collateral. But you can also sell items at a pawn shop usually at a super low price so they can resell it for…
Trip to Brazil: Part One Firstly, we traveled through Toronto and Sao Paulo to Rio de Janeiro, where we stayed near the famous Copa Cabana beach (but more on that later). Our first full day of Brazil was spent mainly in the Botanical Garden of Rio, which, although I wasn’t expecting it, turned out to…
