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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

So, I realize that the title of this is a little misleading. It probably should have been something along the lines of “The Good, the Bad, and the Promising,” or “These Ones are Awesome and These Ones Not So Much.” Either way, I hope this helps guide anyone who is interested in diving into the [...]

Moneyball: a movie that’s unfortunately not about someone carrying around a giant ball made of money. What hijinks would ensue when the character tries to purchase a wallet! Alas, this is about baseball instead – you know, that sport that Canadians don’t really care about. The story is thus: in the early 2000s, Oakland A’s [...]
Continue reading …I love movies. Movies are the cold side of the pillow or the three-day extension from your terrifying prof – downright sublime. From quivering in my middle-school boots while watching Snape scowl in the first Harry Potter movie, to falling for Leonardo Dicaprio in his dashing suspenders in Titanic, I’ve had some transformative moments within [...]

The sun was just starting to go down as the crowd followed their spear-wielding guides to a large tree. We unfurled our blankets and mats and sat on the ground, talking amongst ourselves. A hiss rang out from the woods. We looked around but couldn’t seem to find where it was coming from. A shrill [...]

Dodge sits in a living room populated only by tiny knick-knacks and minimal furniture, an old country couch and a dull television. As the sun comes up on another day he’s trying to drown his wife’s tired cry out with a baseball game and stolen shots of whiskey. Theatre UNB’s Buried Child bounces between engaging [...]

Clarinetist Venancio Rius Marti and pianist Maria Abad stopped by St. Thomas University last week to workshop with students, share their stories and, of course, their music.
