I’m feeling a little ranty this aft’ and right now the only cure, as I can see it, is to drop some keyboard bombs.  Set targets to Dragonball: Evolution.  Ah, Hollywood… does this even count as Hollywood?  Maybe some sort of backward suburb, anxiously awaiting the arrival of its very own Woolco mini mall, little [...]

As a kid, I could watch a flick over and over again, no matter how bad it was (chalk up 30 some-odd sit-throughs of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York). These days though, it’s rare that I’ll watch something I could repeat view again and again. In the case of The American Astronaut, it [...]

This April 14th – 19th we are so very lucky to once again have CUFF (Calgary Underground Film Fest) grace the city of Calgary. CUFF clocks in at 7 years young and like some sort of interstellar-rocket-train continues to gain momentum. So what can we expect from this years multi-format, genre-bending showcase? [...]

We may have a bit of a bias around these parts for the classic way of doing things. Recalling a line uttered yesterday about how the 50’s until the late 70’s was the best era for design aesthetic & style in the last century. My current project’s first album is planned to be released on [...]

Don’t look at me like that! This was a serious topic of discussion in our work environment today.  Maybe it was the previous references to Playmobil, Floppy Diskettes or possibly Men at Work… I don’t really know. What I do know is that the beast of nostalgia (Nostalgior!) has dug its bedazzled claws into our [...]

Last night I sat down in front of ol’ man laptop in search of audio-visual entertainment and feasted my peepers (jeepers!) on something beautiful.  This beauty came by the name of Sita Sings The Blues.  Okay where to begin… there’s just too much cool going on here.  Everyone, breathe. Find your calm place and we [...]

For those feeling that the zombie genre has been done to death (ha! too easy) I say nay! Hark, a new contender enters the ring and offers a true heavy weight film experience. And guess what kids… its Canadian! I’m speaking of Pontypool by Mr. Bruce MacDonald. I had the opportunity to peep this [...]

Tyler Stout is an incredible artist and illustrator whose work stands out due to the attention to detail and his choice of colour palettes (among other things).  His choice of subject matter definitely has pop appeal but somehow I would feel okay having Corey Haim/Feldman on my wall.  Tyler’s prints are available for purchase and [...]

This award winning film details various memories from veterans of 1982’s First Lebanon War. The plot follows around Folman as he attempts to reveal memories of a massacre, which have since been exiled to the deepest recesses of his mind.
I’m sure I’m not the first to compare this flick to Waking Life, as the technique [...]
