So you’ve probably heard about the Food Truck pilot project, which started in the summer of 2011. A fleet of food trucks have been driving around, bringing gourmet treats to Calgarians across the city. The fantastic part is that the food trucks are mobile and change their locations every day, making this new part of…

During the lovely, carefree days of spring break, MJ and I again got together to bring you this review of the Big Cheese Poutinerie. Location This cute store is located a short, two minute walk westwards down 17th avenue from Western Canada High School. Really close to school (almost directly across from Starbucks), and really…
Starring Sam Worthington and Elizabeth Banks, Man On A Ledge is simply an overexaggerated heist thriller with a different twist, in my opinion. The story is about an escaped con/ex-cop, Nick Cassidy (Worthington) who is framed by millionaire businessman, David Englander (Ed Harris), since he framed him stealing his $40 million diamond for which he…
It was a movie that I even felt generally positive about upon leaving the theatre. However, despite the fact that I did enjoy the movie, I’d say that the Hunger Games was ultimately a disappointment simply because it could have been much much better.
“It’s not fusion… it’s Alloy. Fusion is so last decade.” – Calgary Herald Tucked in between industrial buildings, industrial sites, quiet lush greens, shy from the public’s glare – all but a few minutes’ drive from the populous Chinook Mall – lies a neat, cozy restaurant that brings fused cultures to life. As one walks…
Lately, I feel like there hasn’t been really good witty or humorous entertainment flying around. Sure, Community started up again and Sherlock’s a great time killer; but I feel like there hasn’t been anything up to par with Hot Fuzz, Shawn of the Dead or Date Night (all excellent movies which I highly recommend). So…
If you have not already done so, please read my review of The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay books. When I heard that the Hunger Games movie was PG 13, I was quite disappointed; I could not comprehend how the movie with an age rating under 18A could be anything other than horrible. But…
For all you Netflix lovers out there, I have it as well. So I’m not some uninformed basher about this streaming service! For $8 per month, Netflix allows you to stream movies and TV shows ranging from romantic comedies to independent movies to anime! And if you’re one of those people who like to try…
Last month I wrote a post advertising a great event at the Village Square Library: the Prom Dress Extravaganza, where girls had the opportunity to find a special dress and take it home for free! I was able to go to the event last Saturday and I met some great librarians! I was fortunate enough…
If you have yet to do so, please read my review of “City of Bones” review before reading this one. The plot for this novel goes like this: Clary wishes to return to her normal life, but her mother is in a magically induced coma, and the world of the shadowhunters refuses to loosen it’s…
Yes, fun. didn’t want to capitalise the “f” in “fun.” and the period is indeed there. How’s that for a totally indie band name. Well that’s besides the point. The band released their second studio album titled “Some Nights” on Feb 21. That’s two and a half years I’ve had to wait since their first…
If you haven done so, please read my introduction to “The Mortal Instruments” before reading this review. So I was looking for a fast paced book that I could just read, be entertained, and then forget. Being the problem solving genius that I am, I typed in “fast paced novels” on this search engine called…
While Kathleen Edwards may not be a familiar name to many, Bon Iver sure is. This is one of the points singer songwriter Edwards made about the advantages and disadvantages of having Justin Vernon, Bon Iver’s frontman, as her new beau. In an interview with the Globe and Mail, she said, “The nice dull side…
I know that the name of fantasy has been somewhat defaced by the emergence of books such as Twilight (I apologize if I’m offending anyone with this statement) and various other dark “romance” books whose only selling point is that they take advantage of the teenage girl’s tendency to be attracted to supernaturally sexy/bad boy personalities.…
