From One Mike To Another

When Kevin McBride beat Mike Tyson last night, Tyson said, "I most likely won't fight anymore. I'm not going to disrespect the sport by losing to this caliber of fighters."  Assuming Tyson isn't lured back into the ring at some point so he can cash another paycheque, and that's a

The Clearing

The Clearing: 5.5 out of 10. This movie was missing something. I'm not sure what, but it lacked something that would have propelled it beyond such an average score.  It's well acted and not bad at all, but it's a little uneventful for a kidnapping flick.  It's a slow,

SLS Submission

I recently submitted a tune for SLS13 consideration.  I submitted "All These Things That I've Done" from The Killers. Admittedly, I didn't dig this tune at first. Then, all of a sudden, I started to really like it.  Then there's that whole "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier"

The Big Bounce

The Big Bounce: 2 out of 10. I had heard the ending to this movie sucked.  If you can get to the ending of this movie, you deserve some type of reward.  It's a horrible script. The entire time I just felt sorry for Morgan Freeman.  Red deserved better.  Not

Stuck In The '90s Again

This past week, I've been heavily spinning Beck's "Guero", Weezer's "Make Believe", Oasis' "Don't Believe the Truth" and Audioslave's "Out of Exile". Lets flash back ten years to 1995.  That year, I was heavily spinning Beck's "Mellow Gold", Weezer's self titled debut, Oasis' "(What's The Story) Morning Glory?", Soundgarden's "Superunknown"

My Ronald McDonald Story

Ronald McDonald is getting a makeover.  McDonald's has announced they're making him more athletic and health-conscious. Reading this story reminded me about the time I was responsible for Ronald McDonald.  As a teenager, I spent eighteen months working at a Toronto McDonald's.  Our franchise helped sponsor a local weekend festival

The Simpsons Movie Update

"You know what? We've just done the table read for The Simpsons movie, so although we've been promoting that we're going to do it, now we're actually doing it and are in production."  These are the words of Nancy Cartwright, who was speaking with BBC Radio 1 this week. Season

One Year Ago Today

Ruslan Fedotenko's goal for the Tampa Bay Lightning exactly one year ago today won the Stanley Cup.  There hasn't been an NHL game since. We have managed to survive an entire calendar year without NHL hockey.  It's been more than a year since we've seen the Toronto Maple Leafs play.

Things That Make Me Mad: #34

Word has it a group of Liberal MPs may vote against the budget as a way to prevent the same sex marriage act from being passed.  Just yesterday, Pat O'Brien quit the party for the same reason. I just don't understand how so many people could fight this passionately against

Six Feet Under

One of my favourite shows of all time returns tonight.  "Six Feet Under" begins it's final season in about ten minutes. Every time I start thinking television is crap I think about "Six Feet Under" and "The Sopranos", two shows that truly are too good for TV.
