Let me preface for you, the reader, before you start scrolling down on my movie rankings: I was not able to get out and watch every acclaimed film in 2012, but for the most part I liked what I did see.

Tegan and Sara, the Canadian folk pop twin sister duo, have been performing together for almost 20 years and making records for nearly 15.

The Oscars are a funny breed. Trying desperately every year to be hip and every year ever so slightly missing the mark. On paper, they should be huge: Hollywood is a multi-billion dollar industry filled with globally recognizable employees.

My Favourite Movie
A few weeks ago, a girl asked me what my favourite movie of all time was.
When Jeremy became one of the Brotherhood of the Five, he became a supernatural being that was stronger, faster and had an innate instinct to kill vampires.
