The fun stuff. Calgary has a ton of amazing stuff that happens in our city. Reviews of new movies, or albums, art shows or news about sports.
[youtube hoWifeC0UOU] This week in class we watched Revolutionary Road. One of the songs that really hit me was the ending theme by Thomas Newman. It had a calm soothing tone to it, that I though everyone could appreciate at anytime, so I decided to share it with everyone here. Hope you all enjoy it…
Normally, I’m not one to fall for what I deem to be patriotic propaganda rubbish, however, in this case I’ll make an exception. Today’s Video of the Day is about Canada, and O Canada indeed; it even brought a little tear to my eye. [youtube bV_041oYDjg]
Last weekend, I had the lucky fortune to attend a performance of The Drowsy Chaperone. Presented by Theatre Calgary, it was a family-friendly “Musical within a Comedy.” How is this possible? The show begins with a lone actor, known as “Man in Chair,” who reminisces as he plays an old record of a (fictional) musical…
[youtube ntCdgqxslNI] This week’s AMV features a movie that I just watched today. This week’s Anime is Sword of A Stranger, and quite literally focuses on the sword of a stranger that a boy meets. The Nameless Swordsman in the end saves the boy from a sacrificial ritual, one reason for the song. However we…
Remember last year’s Churchill’s Got Talent at Sir Winston Churchill High School in Calgary? Well, this year the talent show is back again. This time the winner can get a chance to record a professional studio album and this one chance might change their whole life. There were many contestents and they were all pretty…
Okay, so you’re probably wondering, what on the earth is a “bookie?” Well to save space, my post will be a review on the book and movie, Flipped. The book was written by Wendelin Van Draanen and judging from this book, she’s a wonderful writer! The book focuses on two characters (who switch perspectives in…
Last night, the most brilliant actors, actresses, writers, and directors came out to take part of the 83rd Academy Awards. James Franco and Anne Hathaway were the hosts this year, and did a fine job. There for 24 categories, thus giving us 24 winners. Best Picture “The King’s Speech,” Iain Canning, Emile Sherman and Gareth…
One of the most beloved composers and masters in Russia is Peter Tchaikovsky, or Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. He has composed beautiful masterpieces in many areas during the Romantic era, including ballet, symphonies, operas and chamber music. He has also written some of most familiar and popular concert music, among them the ballets Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker, and…
[youtube 8E3xYBG0FmE] This week’s AMV is Valentine’s day themed, and what better way to commemorate the day of love than with a CLANNAD AMV. A little bias was involved in the selection as CLANNAD is my favorite anime in regards to love and perseverance. I won’t go into much detail about the show so I…

I have said the book is bad, and I have claimed that the story could be a lot better. But the movie also proved that the story could be a lot worse. Basically, the story is the same; a girl is violated and murdered and goes to heaven, only it’s not heaven but a place…
