Here we have two General Managers: Bryan Colangelo for the Toronto Raptors and Brian Burke of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Both GMs are going to be pressured to make a big splash in the off season to push their respective teams closer to being a contender rather than the pretenders they’ve been for the past […]

Last week, I caught the Canadian Stage opening of The Game of Love and Chance, a broad French farce that was no deeper than The Tales of Hoffmann but was certainly better paced. Coming in at a short 90 minutes and designed with gimmicky fun by Anick La Bissonniere (set) and Linda Brunelle (costumes), The […]
Since Hollywood has apparently decided that the Summer movie season begins in March now (both 21 Jump Street and The Hunger Games would normally be playing to the sold out crowds of summer), I’ve decided to get a jump start on my summer movie planning. In four installments, MyCinema will be rolling out our SUMMER […]
This week’s episode of Mad Men was kind of a bummer. A beautiful, poignant, heart wrenching bummer.

What exactly terrorizes Westeros? Tonight’s episode focused on this question. I was kind of dreading tonight’s episode of Game Of Thrones, “Garden of Bones.” Like most weeks, I was excited to watch the show, but I knew that sooner or later an episode would end exactly how this one did: with Melisandre stripping down naked […]
Last weekend I had the pleasure of seeing Argos Productions’ Murph at the Boston Playwrights Theater. This is the second Argos show I’ve seen, and after their really fun production of Wandaleria, I was excited to see more of Brett Marks’ work. I like to be surprised, so I had no idea what the play […]
