What makes a movie enduring depends on the specific person answering the question. For some, it’s technological achievements that change the film industry itself, as the first ‘Avatar’ and the original ‘Star Wars’ have. For others, it could be the themes discussed, and the manner in which they’re explored, like ‘Citizen Kane’ or ‘Taxi Driver’.Continue reading “Why ‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’ is an American Classic”

There is no shortage of storylines during and after any NHL postseason and 2023 is no different. The problem is a lot of storylines focus on results so if a team loses, there are a bunch of things that went wrong and there are specific players/coaches to blame. If a team wins, there are aContinue reading “The Thomas Harley Ascension”

June 17th marks the debut of AEW’s new Saturday night ‘Collision’ show and, with it, the return of CM Punk to an AEW ring. Nine months after the infamous ‘Brawl Out’ debacle, one of the most popular (and divisive) pro wrestlers of the 21st century makes his re-debut to the company whose VP’s he bad-mouthed.Continue reading “CM Punk Went Out For Cigarettes Nine Months Ago and Won’t Tell Us Why”

Let’s get this out of the way: I loved Across The Spider-Verse. The animation blending alone is worth the price of admission, the story and the characters are fleshed out very well, the comedy lands, and the details with which the worlds are built make it obvious the creatives care about this project a lot.Continue reading “Spider-Verse, Fast X, Breaking Bad, and Movie Endings”

Going into the 2022-23 season, the Montreal Canadiens were hitting the giant ‘reset’ button on the franchise. The 2022 offseason was the first with Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes being in charge, it was the first full season with Martin St. Louis behind the bench, they traded for Kirby Dach, and had the 2022 firstContinue reading “Did Montreal Find A Top-Pair Defenceman In Jonathan Kovacevic?”

The nature of the defence position has undergone more change over the last decade than probably the 100 years before that (well, once we get past the rover, anyway). It really wasn’t that long ago that teams would have one or two bruisers on the bottom pair who would struggle to drive the play, whichContinue reading “Carson Soucy, Improvements, And Unknowns”

Top draft picks always get the press, regardless of the sport, and regardless of the talent. Even if a “better” player is drafted fifth overall, the player drafted first will get the lion’s share on physical or digital ink for years to come. It is just the nature at being the top of a listContinue reading “Alexis Lafrenière: Three Years In”

The weekend of May 5th will bring the third movie in the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ trilogy. Director James Gunn has moved to Warner Bros since he completed this movie, and the marketing leading to the film’s release is indicating he may not be the only one moving on. It does seem to be theContinue reading “Appreciating The Guardians Of The Galaxy”

I had what I thought was a good observation: The amount of television time given to the WWE Raw women’s roster had seemingly declined since the post-SummerSlam era under Triple H. More specifically, that allotted TV time declined after New Year’s Eve, through to WrestleMania, when compared to the SummerSlam-NYE timeframe. That led me toContinue reading “Vince McMahon’s Changes To Raw Women’s Roster TV Time”

The situation of Quinton Byfield is a unique one. Not his status as a high pick – second overall in the 2020 Draft – but one of heavy playoff pressure without a lot of NHL success. High picks usually find themselves on their team’s top line at the age of 20 because they’ve had veryContinue reading “Quinton Byfield’s Superlative Sophomore Season”
