Featured Theatre Review: Claudie Hukill
Posted: Nov. 30, 2012, 6:16 p.m. I'll preface this review by saying I'm not a theatre critic, I've never acted in a stage performance, never been around theater much (aside from working lights and sound for a high school production), and I only go to a couple performances a year, if...
The Eternals is the Worst Marvel Movie
Posted: March 20, 2022, 2:39 a.m. To me, this feels like not only the biggest failure of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, but one of the worst things Disney has produced or released in decades, period.
Movie - Days of Thunder (1990)
Posted: Oct. 24, 2015, 9:07 p.m. I decided to watch the movie "Days of Thunder" in 2015, for the first time in my life. I was really into NASCAR when I was little, and I remember that movie existing, but I was too young to see it; and then, when I was old enough, I didn't care...
Movie Review: Side Effects (2013)
Posted: Feb. 18, 2013, 10:10 p.m. Spoiler warnings generally aren't my style, because I believe that when reading a review, there should generally be an assumption that parts of the work being reviewed will be revealed. It's impossible to write a thoughtful review otherwise. However,...

Candy - Starbucks Vanilla Truffles
Posted: March 9, 2009, 8:16 p.m. A good friend of mine writes a blog called "For the Love of Candy" which focuses on reviewing different types of candy. From classic, everyday favourites, to local delicacies, she has an impressive talent for taste-testing sweet treats. Her site is...
W - The Movie (2008)
Posted: Oct. 20, 2008, 8 p.m. Over the weekend, I went to see W., a satirical portrayal of Dubya's adult life. From the previews, it looked quite entertaining, and it appeared to make him look like the retarded monkey that I see him as in my mind. So, sure, let's check it...
Movie: Easy Rider (1969)
Posted: Feb. 11, 2003, 10:16 p.m. Freedom is the concept upon which this nation was founded. The idea of making one's own decisions rather than the government making them has spawned numerous attacks, personal and global, all perpetrated by someone who wanted a piece of the liberty pie....
