The Ting Tings in Toronto!!

The Ting Tings graced Toronto (at The Mod Club) with a show as part of Canadian Music Week this past Saturday. If you're not familiar with who they are, there's a good chance that you've heard at least one of their songs either in a commercial, radio and/or movie (they used one of their songs in the Slumdog Millionaire trailer).

The show opened up with a band called Spirits who really tried their best to raise the mercury level in the club, but clearly, the Torontorians were there tonight to see the headliner. After a lengthy wait between the two sets, the Brit rock duo exploded onto the stage with energy. Katie White had the crowd around her fingers as she rocked out on the guitar and as Jules wailed away on the drums. As far as I know, they played every song from their LP with the crowd jumping, dancing and drinking it all in. Their set lasted shy of an hour, but it moved much quicker than that and I was sad when it was over. It was the best show I've seen in a while. If you like pop indie rock, then check them out if they cruise by your city.

Anyhow here are a few pics that I snapped.

REVIEW HAIKUS!!!! (#3)

It's time for another edition of Review Haikus; a feature I like to write when I'm too lazy to write out full reviews~!!! The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 Tony Scott schlockfest~! All his movies seem the same. A needless remake. Denzel's a bad-ass. Given up on Travolta. 1 of 2 ain't bad. Public Enemies Well? Disappointed. I expected more from Mann. The pacing felt off. Acting was good though. Man-crush on Depp and Bale. 5 more syllables! Saw VI Yes, another Saw. Harder to tell them apart. Blood, guts, bad story. Why more Saw movies? Each movie makes less and less. End this series now. ====== Later geeks!

Mark Waid's IRREDEEMABLE (Issues #1-7)

(Note: be warned that this review is on the spoiler heavy side, so read at your own discretion if you don't want the story spoiled.) Since I was a teenager, I always had this dream that I would become a quirky movie director and I'd make a bunch of crappy little horror movies to start with, but that my first big movie would be this anti-superhero movie. I dreamed up of an Apocalypse Now -like movie using existing Marvel superheroes where Captain America would go mad, slaughtering the innocent and go into hiding somewhere 'up the river'. There would be a detective like character (possibly superhero) that would be after him, interviewing his former teammates to find out what made the all-American hero go mad. Imagine my surprise when I started reading Irredeemable . Although not exactly the story in my dreams, it's pretty close. I started reading the series this past weekend upon the glowing review that those geeks over at iFanboy put up a few weeks ago. As far a

1st Week of Advent Series

Today was the first in the Reconstruction of Christmas series at FreeChurch Toronto . David McGhee, a former pastor at FreeChurch (Freedomize), kicked things off with a message on Gathering. The artsy peeps did a tremendous job of decorating the place for the occasion. Below are a few pics.
