Dracula Untold movie review

Arts & Culture, MoviesBy Sunint BindraNovember 26, 2014

Recently, I watched the movie Dracula Untold. While I was very excited to go watch the movie because of its interesting storyline, it was very disappointing because of its lack of emotion, no twist, and overall its inability to make you want to continue to watch the movie. Imagine watching a movie in which the events…

Arts & Culture, Fashion & Shopping, Food & Health, Holidays, Local ArtsBy Hui Wen ZhengNovember 25, 2014

I don’t know about you, but I’m the type to get hyped up about Christmas months in advance. I tend to spend half the year wondering when the appropriate time is to start listening to Michael Buble’s holiday album and to put up the tree. Whether it’s the festive cheer that spreads in everyone, or…

Arts & Culture, News, SportsBy Eryl DavidNovember 25, 2014

Today’s post is not a post involving Calgary, but our northern neighbours in Edmonton. I felt the need to write a little bit of commentary on people’s reactions to the Edmonton Oiler’s 7-1 loss to Chicago Blackhawks this weekend. If you’ve been following this 2014-2015 NHL hockey season this year, you’ll know that the Oiler’s…

Mockingjay Part 1 review

Arts & Culture, Books, MoviesBy JuliaNovember 25, 2014

Maybe I’m just a nerd when it comes to young-adult books and their movie adaptations, but before its release, I was keeping a close eye on the days left until The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 was coming to theatres. I mean, really, it’s hard not to be in love with Katniss and her adventures. In the…

What makes you beautiful?

Arts & Culture, Beauty & Fashion, Life, Self-ImprovementBy Gayathri MenonNovember 21, 20141 Comment

In my teenage years I have wondered, “What is ‘beauty’? Do I fit into the ‘category’ of beautiful people?” Over the years, this is what many magazine covers have featured: women dressed in skimpy clothes, showing off toned bodies and perfect, blemish-free skin. Over and over again, this notion of beauty is being thrown at us. Being…
