Bonjour, là, bonjour – Theatre review
Warning – the following contains spoilers. I saw a dress rehearsal of UNB Theatre’s upcoming production “Bonjour, là, bonjour” last week at Memorial Hall. The set was still in construction and the stage lights weren’t turned on – it was still quite a few days until the show opened. But I still left the theatre [...]
Mandarin Palace, 502 Forest Hill Rd. So I thought I would kick off the newest STU Dines with a little bit of controversy. I have come to hear that some of the norovirus issues from the journalism conference in British Colombia had to do with food. Mandarin Palace has also had their fair share of [...]

By the time I arrived at the Ted Daigle auditorium to see Chicken Hearts and Baby Onions, my hands were raw and my feet were frozen. I hoped feel-good action and witty dialogue would warm the cockles of my heart, and I would leave the theatre with a smile on my face and in my [...]

Everyone has that Christmas album that embodies the holiday spirit. For some of us that album is, unfortunately, Kenny G’s Greatest Holiday Classics. Although the man can play a mean saxophone, the album is sexy for about a song and a half before you feel like you’re stuck in an elevator. For those who need [...]

We’ve all had the experience of watching a movie that just can’t get your cinematic rocks off. Nonetheless, sometimes you can ignore plot holes or deranged narrative when the acting is too damn good to ignore. Examples that spring to mind are Meryl Streep in Julie & Julia, Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, or [...]
Continue reading …It’s getting to be that time of the year when everyone’s wallet is looking a little bit more empty. It means that students like us need to start looking for good deals, but still keep a sense of dignity that you can’t find scarfing down a Big Mac. Dating seems to be nearly impossible to [...]

I was lucky enough to get a copy of Skyward Sword the week before it came out in Canada. I haven’t been able to play through the whole thing, but I like what I’ve seen so far. Skyward Sword brings back all the music we’ve grown to love from the Zelda series. The graphics are [...]
Continue reading …Hey y’all, want to get an academic’s bloomers in a bunch at an alarming speed? Then I present to you Anonymous, this year’s most ridiculous and unnecessary film. The tagline asks, “Was Shakespeare a Fraud?” The movie doesn’t so much answer this question as punch you with a fist of highly-wrought nonsense gloved in pretty [...]
Continue reading …M & T Deli, 602 Queen St. I’ve come to notice a trend with the first three places I’ve gone to eat. When you walk in, you immediately notice how trendy and well thought-out the atmosphere is. They all serve breakfast and lunch, but have next to no dinner menu. The lunch focus seems to [...]
Continue reading …Cafe Loka, 343 York St. I’ve always been one to root for the underdog. From the moment I started working in a kitchen, I was at the bottom of the barrel. Cafe Loka reminds me of an underdog with a heart of gold. It’s located where Cedar Tree Cafe used to be on York, across [...]
Continue reading …The Cedar Tree Cafe, 418 Queen St. Have you ever wanted more food options than what’s available on campus? I’ve spent three years here at St. Thomas, but find there isn’t much of a variety when it comes to the cafeteria’s menu. My job now, as someone [...]
Continue reading …Somewhere in the depths of a Hollywood Starbucks, Kevin Bacon is probably sulking. Not because the film industry inexplicably decided to remake his breakout movie Footloose, but because they didn’t even ask him to cameo. Apart from this lapse in judgement – and that I originally went out to see 50-50 – this movie barely [...]
