lint Eastwood’s latest biopic, J. Edgar, narrows in on the life of the first FBI director who led the agency from 1935 to 1972. Starring a beady-eyed Leonardo DiCaprio (who excels in playing these unorthodox characters) one can’t help but form expectations for a bullet-laden historical thriller.

When Saskatoon’s branch of the Occupy Wall Street protests set up camp in Friendship Park on Oct. 15, it quickly became a home for the homeless in town.
Since the first protesters took to the streets of New York’s financial district on Sept. 17, the Occupy Wall Street movement has spread to more than 1,500 cities worldwide. About 1,000 cities with active Occupy protests are much farther south, in the United States, allowing the Saskatoon protesters to develop distinctly local priorities.

When the lights go down and Jill Barber glides onto the stage of the Broadway Theatre, you could be excused for thinking you’re in a more glamorous place than Saskatoon in November.
Barber cuts a striking figure. There is something both sensual and playful to her. She wears a delicate dress. She seems to have a sparkle in her eyes. But it’s her voice that really shines.

Aboriginal students are one of Saskatchewan’s largest untapped economic assets, according to a new study done for the Gabriel Dumont Institute.
The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada’s website claims that only eight per cent of aboriginal people in Canada between ages 25 and 64 have university degrees, while 23 per cent of non-aboriginal people in that same age group have university degrees.

Whenever a new Twilight movie comes out, I see it on opening night. This isn’t because I think they’re good movies. It’s because I know they’re bad, and hilariously so.
Breaking Dawn: Part 1 is the fourth film in the much-loved, much-reviled teen vampire romance series based on novels by Stephenie Meyer. The film can be described in one line: Edward and Bella get married, have sex on their wedding night and Bella gets pregnant. That’s it.
