The 40th anniversary speeches have been given by Artistic Director Michael Trent and the Ontario Arts Council’s Dance Officer, Myles Warren.  The playing space is empty as we sit in the round, starring at each other.  It seems like the lights are never going to go out.  In fact, they never do.  A most appropriate […]

 

If television shows and video games could be paired in the same manner that cheese and wines can be paired – and who even said that’s a thing – I’m fairly certain that I stumbled into an apex pairing of these two disparate entertainment forms. It would seem that True Detective goes quite nicely with […]

Artists have a tendency to show their roots whether it’s the music that inspired their current love for music or the nations that raised them. The Band Called FUSE hails from a multitude of locations bringing diversity to the crafting table when writing starts.

Tom Holt’s Doughnut is an utter confection* of silliness, sci-fi, world hopping, and awkward family relationships. If you’re unfamiliar with the realm of funny sci-fi, then dearest reader let me introduce you. Funny sci-fi might be just about my favorite thing ever.

Mothers and Sons is at least partially based upon McNally’s 1990 PBS film Andre’s Mother, for which […]

 

Most of the action of “Mukozuko”, the most recent episode of Hannibal, was fuelled by Beverly Katz’s death at the hands of Hannibal the previous week. If there were any fans holding out hope that she somehow miraculously survived last episode (we never saw her die), this episode was very quick to quash that notion. […]

 

I saw 90 movies in 2013 (or shortly thereafter, if we’re being honest- I don’t know how anyone is expected to see all the Christmas releases in one week!). 90 is a lot of movies, or at least it is for me (I head up My Theatre and My TV, My Cinema is Rachael’s problem). […]
