CAPE is 10!
Boy, how time flies when you’re wearing a CAPE, or to be more specific, enjoying yourself at the Cornwall and Area Pop Event, which, like all good things, has returned once more... and is excitingly celebrating its tenth anniversary this year!!! Attracting thousands of pumped up visitors on a rather dreary Saturday, April 26th, 2025, the locale was joyously cheerful thanks to the boisterous crowd filling the place... with a Sunday still to come for those in the Cornwall, Montreal, and Ottawa region.

Sometimes Less is MoreRushmoreDecember 30, 2015Nathan Andrew Jacobs, the writer/director of the independent film Killing Poe, spoke to me at the St. Lawrence International Film Festival back in October. According to him, his film, which built up an unbelievable buzz over the four day festival, has been influenced by the work of Wes Anderson. He mentioned two of Anderson’s movies – The Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore as being his favourites, and the latter will be reviewed here today.

Take a Return Journey to a Galaxy Far, Far AwayStar Wars: Episode IV - A New HopeDecember 27, 2015Star Wars is the talk of the town once again. Episode 7, entitled The Force Awakens is sweeping the box office by storm. So, perhaps it is wise to return to the year 1977 to look at the first film: A New Hope.
