No matter how invincible one may think they are, death is inevitable. Thinking about it makes many of us feel this wave of unease. We don’t know when the grim reaper will come pay his uninvited visit. Leaving many of us living in this constant cocoon of fear. People find different ways of coping with
Let’s be honest here, the world is terrifying. Ostensibly it is said that life is beautiful and there is such potential for you to have a great time. In truth we are from time to time stricken with anxiety of social interaction or the fear of being let down again and again. Confidence can be
Xavier Dolan continues his winning ways with 13 Canadian Screen Awards nominations for Mommy, a dazzling story of an emotionally volatile boy and his weary mother that blasted out of the gate at Cannes last spring to win the Jury Prize. It has figured consistency in critics’ polls and today it swept Canada’s “Oscar” nominations.
Still Alice’ Julianne Moore won the Golden Globe Best Actress in a Drama award this past Sunday, for taking a journey no other actress has taken. She plays a 55 year old college linguistics professor diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease and the film follows Alice’ descent into the disease, from simply forgetting words
WEtv’s “Marriage Boot Camp” is back and this time I just can’t resist blogging it. If the first episode was any indication, I’m not going to be disappointed by the crazy-factor this season (really, somebody let Heidi and Spencer back on American television?).

House of Lies has always been more than just a comedy. It’s a trip inside the surreal and often fantastical world of white-collar egomaniacs.

Being able to write a good pop song is difficult. Adding in elements of punk and blues with that is an even more mind blowing experience. Hanni El Khatib gracefully played his way on in to the music industry in 2011 with “Will the Guns Come Out.” Khatib worked as a creative director for skateboarding
Put the time-travel gibberish into the background and the result is a great, gritty Aussie noir flick not to be missed. The Spierig brothers reunite with Ethan Hawke for their first feature in five years and it is a fascinating film. The screenplay is based on the science fiction short story by Robert A. Heinlein
Ignore the stoner humor and hackneyed clichés and appreciate the mood and setting of this most neo of the neo-noirs. Those who have read any of Thomas Pynchon’s intractable tails must have been amazed that Paul Thomas Anderson would take on the hazardous task of transforming his 2009 novel into a movie. Continuing Pynchon’s ongoing
This week’s “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” should have been called the “Keep Brandi in Time-Out” episode. She just managed to piss off or horrify literally everyone. Lisa has to go to lunch with her because she got backed into a corner at the fundraiser the previous day. Ken’s giving her s**t because he’s just
