This week’s Gossip Girl brought a rocky half season to a close as the primetime soap gears up for its hundredth episode this spring. It’s been a rough couple months on the upper east side. The boring story about unlikable actress Ivy defrauding the family into thinking she’s long-lost cousin Charlie has done nothing but […]

Toronto’s mayor is a Mr. Dursley-esque grump face with a popularity rate so low in the heart of the city that I’ve literally never met one of his supporters. They like him in the suburbs I guess, or so the electoral map suggested, but down where we use the TTC and go to the theatre […]
I went through a brief period in high school when I was positively obsessed with Jimmy Stewart. It was when I first started to get into older films, and I devoured Harvey, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, The Philadelphia Story, Destry Rides Again and a bunch of other movies that starred Stewart.

It’s a tricky concept, but such a universal and generally untouched one that […]
In honor of Home Alone, a movie I must have watched fifty four thousand times from age 3 to age 13, and not a single time since, I’m going to do this whole review in the form of random observations, and let my rampant, 24-year-old ID take the reins: • Holy Shit, Macauley is young. […]
As I’ve said before, this was a great season for new shows, but I’ve loved none so much as I’ve grown to love Pan Am. There hasn’t been a new drama this well written or an ensemble this talented since the premiere of Parenthood almost 2 years ago, and the last time I saw a […]
