It took me over half a year to finally succumb to Nintendo’s spell and buy a Nintendo 3DS. It was a wise decision.
The Nintendo 3DS was released on March 27 of this year and is the latest in Nintendo’s long line of handheld gaming devices. This honoured tradition started back in 1989 with the Game Boy and has gone through varied iterations over the years such as the Game Boy Color in 1998, the Game Boy Advance in 2001 and the DS in 2004.

The Center for Disease Control is gone, hope is elusive and zombies are still everywhere.
AMC’s zombie hit The Walking Dead returned on Oct. 16 to an ecstatic 7.3 million viewers and Season Two starts just where Season One left off. The band of survivors headed by Sheriff’s Deputy Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) is still there, although their numbers are thinned out from the final episodes of last season, hoping against hope that things can get better and they find some vestige of safety.

Politics is a dirty game. While reiterating this unfortunate truism isn’t particularly enlightening, it does make for good entertainment.
The Ides of March is another installment in a long line of political films showing that there is no such thing as an honest politician. George Clooney’s fourth film as a director, The Ides of March is fast, smart and thrilling in a way similar to Moneyball and other confident dramas.

When a television show has you literally shaking from the tension, you know you’re watching something good. Breaking Bad has caused the shakes more than any show in recent memory.
The show, which started out as a simple drama about a cancer-stricken high school chemistry teacher who turns to cooking meth to pay the bills, has evolved into so much more than an exploration of a good man gone bad. This past season of Breaking Bad, the fourth, with its slow boil storytelling, constant threat of death for the main characters and uncanny ability to pull all disparate narrative threads together into one overwhelming situation of helplessness has demonstrated that the show may just be the quintessential exploration of pride, moral degradation and crime on television.

Moneyball is a sports movie that’s as much about talk as it is about playing sports. It’s about the men who run the game of baseball off the field and how logic and statistics trump intuition and talent. It’s an underdog story, but not of the kind you’ve seen before.
Based on Michael Lewis’s 2003 non-fiction book, Moneyball tells the story of how Oakland Athletics’ general manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) changed the game of baseball during the 2002 season.

John Allison had always dreamed of a genre film festival occurring in Saskatoon. However, instead of just hoping and praying for one to come here, he actually started one.

Drive is not your typical Hollywood action movie in that its sole purpose is not to entertain you.
