2013 Winnipeg Comedy Festival Coverage

Posted by Showbiz Monkeys | Monday, April 8, 2013 @ 11:49pm

The Winnipeg Comedy Festival has long been considered a comics' festival. The comedians who come to the prairie city to perform over a week in April absolutely love their time here. The festival treats the performers incredibly well, and the crowds are friendly, responsive, and plentiful. And lucky for audience members, when the stand-up comics are happy to be there, things usually end up being pretty damn fun for those who get to see them on stage.

For 2013, the Winnipeg Comedy Festival's 12th edition, we got to speak to a whole bunch of those comics -- a mix of new festival performers and old favourites. And for local comedy fans in Winnipeg, we're also once again giving away tickets to shows, with draws happening up until Friday. Keep coming back to this page as we add more interviews throughout the week with great people like Jon Dore, K. Trevor Wilson, Kenny Robinson, Darren Frost, Charlie Demers, and many more. We'll even have some interviews from during the festival posted in the weeks to come!

One sweaty afternoon whilst Huck Finn-ing it through the Arkansas woods, two teenage boys discover a boat, miraculously and surrealistically nestled atop a cluster of old oak trees. They claim the boat as their own but, soon find that they may not be the only ones who claim ownership. Mud is many things: An intelligent and original thriller, a thoughtful and moving character study and (dare I say) the first great and visually stunning film of 2013. (Other than Shane Carruth's Upstream Color.)

Once Upon A Time: And Straight On 'Til Morning

Posted by S.P. Young | Tuesday, May 14, 2013 @ 12:40am

"It may take time, but Peter Pan never fails."

Since Hook made his debut on the series earlier this season, there have been more and more Peter Pan references as the season progressed. The previous episode ("Second Star To The Right") even put Baelfire into the Darling home, thus adding even more Peter Pan material to the series. The question that remained, that was finally answered in the season two finale, "And Straight On 'Til Morning," was where is Peter Pan? This would be answered at the very end of the episode.

Once Upon A Time: Second Star To The Right

Posted by S.P. Young | Tuesday, May 7, 2013 @ 2:28am

"Magic destroyed my family."

The main plot in "Second Star To The Right," focused on Regina getting tortured by Greg and Tamara, but the episode really belonged to Tamara's fiance, Baelfire. Baelfire is not so much of a driving force in the plot, but a catalyst of multiple plots. This episode's flashback focused on Bae's life, after he was separated from his father.

Review: Iron Man 3

Posted by Andrew Burns | Friday, May 3, 2013 @ 1:35am

This time last year Marvel Studios kicked off the summer movie season with the pinnacle superhero movie experience in Marvel's The Avengers. The culmination of that multi team franchise cross-over exceeded all expectations, broke box office records, and concluded 'Phase One' of Marvel's Cinematic Universe in epic fashion; validating all the franchises that made it possible. This year Marvel Studios returns to the May opening weekend slot with Iron Man 3 to both begin another summer season of blockbuster movies and pave the road to another Avengers film.

Sadly both the summer movie season and Marvel's 'Phase Two' are off to a bad start.
