Who would have thought that free jazz and experimental noise would pair so well together? However, the pairing of NUDE (Fred Bazil, Paul Serralheiro, Jan Siemaszkiewicz, Paul Van Dyk) with Corse (Philippe Battikha, Étienne Lebel, Samuel Vipond, and Matthew Waddell) defy expectations; the abilities and preferences of one ensemble perfectly complementing the choices and sounds [...]

Avenged Sevenfold will be playing the SWU Music & Arts Festival in São Paolo, Bazil on October 11th. The line-up includes Linkin Park, Queens Of The Stone Age, Incubus and many others.

Micmacs Recently I have been thinking a lot about my experiences at TIFF (aka The Toronto International Film Festival) over the last 9 years. I may even compile a reflective piece on the various years I attended for a future blog post. One of the catalysts for my nostalgic trip down memory lane is the release of my favourite film from the 2009 TIFF, Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Micmacs . Bazil’s (Dany Boon) life is turned upside down after a drive-by-shooting leaves a bullet lodged in his head. Homeless, and aimlessly roaming the streets of Paris, Bazil stumbles upon an eccentric ...

The only remedy is for Nick to get kicked out of his mother’s house and be sent to live with his father (Steve Buscemi). In order for this plan to work an upstanding individual like Nick will be required to do some truly bad ...

Cinephiles adore French auteur Jean-Pierre Jeunet for pictures like " The City of Lost Children ," and " Delicatessen " (not so much " Alien Resurrection ") , but it was 2001's deliriously wonderful " Amelie ," that truly cemented his stature on the international map. As TIFF says it is one of the most "unquestionably popular films of the last decade," which is completely true. The director and his romantic, hyper-capricious and imaginative filmmaking return with his very first film since 2004's " A Very Long Engagement ." This new one, " Micmacs " — a picture which was on our Most Anticipated of 2009 list — is evidently a satirical film ...

Over the last few years, I've witnessed the hyperactive passion that emanates forth from some of the younger up and coming bands in the GTA. Youthful enthusiasm, energetic showmanship and cocky teenage angst all have their place in the world of rock 'n roll, but nothing can compare to the refined confidence and the nothing-to-prove comfortableness that accompanies the performance of a seasoned professional. And when two of such legendary stature as The Jayhawks ' principle founding members Gary Louris and Mark Olson take the stage - theatrics, rock 'n roll cliches and a desperate need to impress no longer become ...
