Danko Jones is one of the most recognizable sounding Canadian radio-rock bands, but they seem as generic as the rest of them with their newest album. Listening to any local rock-radio station you will surely hear one or two of Danko Jones’ new singles from Wild Cat,...
No Strings Attached is a romantic comedy about Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher) – long time acquaintances, who, after moving to the same city, decide to be friends with benefits. I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. I expected a standard film with sex jokes and cheesy love lines, and, admittedly this movie did have that (I suppose if it didn’t, it wouldn’t really be a romantic comedy).
I had a hard time picturing Liam Neeson in the action movie that Uknown’s trailer presents. Thankfully, this film (like Taken, also staring Neeson) is more of a mystery with some good action scenes. The actors work well together, and have quite good chemistry when appropriate.
The idea behind Hall Pass is unique, and although crude, yields some interesting potential for comedy.

They fell 3-1 in the second game of their best-2-out-of-3 semi-final series against the No.
Women’s BasketballThe Brock University Women’s Basketball team (14-8 OUA) had their season come to an end at home on Feb. 23, as they gave up a 17-point lead to the Lakehead Thunderwolves. They eventually lost by a final score of 85-80. Down by 15 points at recess, Lakehead would go on an 11-2 run midway through the third quarter to cut the lead to just five heading into the fourth.
What happened out there:Over the course of the 2010-11 Men’s Basketball season, the Badgers experienced growing pains under a new regime. Look no further than their absence from the playoffs for the third consecutive year. Their most recent appearance in the OUA playoffs was capped off by a 2007-08 CIS Championship – something still fresh in the minds of their bench boss and athletics department leader.
