Have I mentioned how much I like Black Friday shopping to you guys and gals yet? I don’t think I have, but that’s what today’s post is all about. A way for you to prepare yourself in anticipation of one of the most wonderful days of the retail year. How timely of me, you say?…
Who doesn’t love the 80’s? And especially the seemingly hilarious violence and over-the-top way that films addressed their genres at the time? I personally am glad to have grown up at a time when claymation and other practical effects were still the norm, because when you watched something, you had to rely on your imagination…
I’m a pretty big fan of supporting local events and groups, as I hope you would know by now. But did you know that are key individuals in our communities who actually spend their hard earned “free” time, sharing the catalogue of current local events for us Edmontonians on a regular basis and a lot of…
I feel compelled to tell the truth dear readers, especially after this weeks film. Seeing a “Certified Fresh” logo on the box art of the blu-ray may have been the clincher that won me over VS watching South Paw or Pixels. That, and I heard a number of bad things about the other two movies. But…
What is that expression? It is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all? I think that’s an apt point when considering this week’s film review. Can you imagine experiencing intense feelings of love, pain, and anger all while under constant threat of death? Not only for you, but for…
I have to admit that I am very fortunate. I’m fortunate to live in an area of the country that doesn’t experience a lot of natural disasters. Avalanches, earthquakes, floods and tsunamis, heatwaves, hurricanes and tornadoes, volcanoes, and epidemics are events that don’t really happen in Edmonton. The worst thing we are at risk of…
Hot off the heels of another incredible movie franchise review (AKA Avengers: Age of Ultron)… another blog post about a film in a legacy, but I promise you that it’ll be okay. You’ll probably even like this review. Almost 20 years ago today, because it was released in theatres on November 17th, so I’m off by…
Do you like to watch epic movie universes? I know I personally do. My all-time favourite cinematic universe is The Fast and The Furious, but there are lots of others that do a fantastic job. Today I have a great universe to share with you, one that is constantly improving upon its ethos and pulling…
Okay readers, I have a confession to make. I don’t want to like The Beatles. Like at all. “The Beatles? How can you not like The Beatles?!?!” That’s probably what you’re thinking. I don’t know, I generally just do not care for their music. It probably stems from some traumatic experience I had as a…
Last week on timotheories (I’ve always wanted to do that), I wrote about archetypes, common sense, motivation, and how watching films can help in learning about human behaviour (see my post, Motivation and Movies). This week I am going to get a little more personal and write about one of my longstanding goals that has become…
