P!nk and Scalpers – So Disappointed
I am a huge P!nk fan. I love her strength and her powerful voice. So when I heard she was coming to Vancouver in May 2018, I was really excited! Tickets from the venue would be $60 to $260 and would go on sale this week. Verified Fan Presale Ticketmaster planned a presale using their … Continue reading P!nk and Scalpers – So Disappointed
Mother! (2017)
After watching the movie It, my younger son and I followed up with another new horror by going to see my pick, the Darren Aronofsky film Mother! (While rated R in the US, it has a 14A rating in BC.) It looked very intriguing based on the trailer, and I've been really impressed with Jennifer Lawrence's past work in other movies … Continue reading Mother! (2017)
Happy Thanksgiving!

The Stage Was Alive with “The Sound of Music”
Wow! What a show! This new production of the 1959 play was launched in September and is based on the 2015 national tour production. The new players bring a freshness and brightness to this much-loved musical. If the current tour it is coming to your city, I highly recommend going to see it. My expectations … Continue reading The Stage Was Alive with “The Sound of Music”
What I’ve Been Watching
It seems to be getting harder and harder to find something that both my husband and I want to watch. His taste is more towards superheroes, and mine veers more towards... well... Richard Armitage! But sometimes we have a meeting of the minds. (Movie stills from IMDb) Handsome Devil (2016): (On Video on Demand) I'd … Continue reading What I’ve Been Watching
Finally Seeing “Pilgrimage” (2017)
The Canadian release of Pilgrimage has finally come, albeit on iTunes. I found out about the September 5 release date only through a tweet by Get Reel Movies , who recently interviewed Richard Armitage about the movie. To me, it shows just such a total lack of interest in promoting the film that the Canadian distributor, Search … Continue reading Finally Seeing “Pilgrimage” (2017)
