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.
There are many different ways to wear a dress. For most of us, we spend time picking it out then throw it on and wear it how it was meant to be worn, alone. Which is definitely an amazing way to wear a dress, and is a classic, so you can never go wrong doing…
In 1982 a movie was released by Disney. While memorable, it was not a traditional Disney cartoon based on a more-or-less famous fairy tale. The movie told of a world not far in the future where anthropomorphic computer programs lived in a digital realm and where a sentient program has turned the realm into a…
Recently I saw the much acclaimed Tron Legacy in 3D. When I first heard of the movie and saw that it was a Disney movie, I didn’ t really expect much since Disney has never appealed to me. This is because many of Disney movies have been mostly family movies so Tron seemed like it would…
You are what you read. Stuff yourself with poetry, short stories, comic strips, novels, and scripts, and you leave yourself always full of wonderful literature and you’re never hungry. That is why I am trying to ingrain the habit of reading good literature right before I go to bed, and I had the great pleasure…
Where would the nerds of the world be if it weren’t for Harry Potter? I have no idea, but I know I personally wouldn’t have turned out to be so lame awesome without it 😉 Now, the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 game has somewhat recently come out for consoles, but what some of you may…
Music can uplift souls, and in this case, raise money to go towards The Mustard Seed. A good friend of mine had invited me to see this wonderful benefits concert at the Jack Singer Hall at the Epcor Centre for the Performing Arts. “Music for a Winter Evening,” in its 10th annual Christmas fundraising concert,…
I was a little late on a watching the most anticipated movie of the year, Inception. I am usually a tough critic on movies and I can usually spot the cliché and corny movies left, right and centre, however unlike many other anticipated movies this one was not a letdown. It surprisingly lived up to…
Christmas is a merry time of good tidings and joy, and is also deemed “to be the most happiest time of the year!” It’s also that time to consider and reflect upon the year. There are so many great volunteer opportunities available in Calgary dedicated to spreading the cheer and Christmas spirit to those in need of…
I’m pretty sure most people are familiar with the cutely animated “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfits,” or the special stop-motion animation of “A Year without Santa Claus,” and the catchy tune of “I’m Mr. White Christmas, I’m Mr. Snow…” sung by Snow Miser. Seasonal celebrations on a cold, wintry evening are most picturesquely imagined…
I recently had the chance to watch a movie called “Brick.” I haven’t seen a movie like this for quite a while, so I decided to share my thoughts on it. Brick follows a high school student named Brendan. Brendan is amazingly intelligent. He constantly takes things into his own hands and appears rather stubborn.…
“The Shining” is a movie made in 1980 based on a classic Stephen King novel. This movie was really weird. I honestly did not see the point of it. Anyway, let me tell you what it is about. This guy Jack–who is played by Jack Nicholson, is a writer and school teacher. Him and his…
When I first heard about the movie Stranger Than Fiction, I thought it was going to be an outrageous comedy since the protagonist is played by Will Ferrell. It is rare for one to come across a better example of why we shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. The plot is quite simple. Our…

I heard San Sebastian on MuchMusic’s disBand and thought their music was some of the best I have heard in awhile. San Sebastian is a Canada based rock band in Hamilton, Ontario. The band’s stardom was greatly overshadowed by the season one winners of disBand, Stereos and the true greatness of San Sebastian’s music was not greatly…
