The moment you turn on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you might as well kiss 100-plus hours of your life goodbye.
There are few games like Skyrim. Bethesda’s greatest triumph is in making a game that is so engrossing, it can literally replace your life. Video games have always aspired to be virtual reality. Skyrim gets as close to that goal as any game ever.

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.

After the Civil War tore North and South apart, America was repaired by a union of East and West through the Union Pacific Railroad.
That’s the history lesson behind Hell on Wheels, the latest creation from the cable broadcaster that brought us such distinguished programs as Breaking Bad, Mad Men and The Walking Dead — and The Killing, which is a bizarre, compelling, idiotic, utterly watchable entity in its own right.

Vern Thiessen’s Vimy is the first show of the season for the local non-profit theatre organization Live Five, telling the story of a nurse tending four wounded Canadian soldiers recovering at a field hospital during the First World War. It is directed by Natasha Martina and stars many current and former U of S drama students.
While the play is built around the themes, symbols and actions of the First World War, it is not a play explicitly about war.

There is a tendency to act hostile toward a remake for no reason other than the fact that it is a remake. I do my best to avoid this.
When I went to see the new Footloose in theatres, I kept my mind open, although I had the lingering knowledge that there were a million different ways they could screw it up. What I found, however, was a remake that did almost everything right.

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