Not every third movie installment has to be abysmal, as we all saw in 2010 with the thoroughly enjoyable and heartwarming Toy Story 3. But it's also understandable to live in fear after the various "third" horrors, like Rocky III (starring Mr. T) or the confusing and unnecessary Back to...

After the ceaseless deluge of unfavourable Battleship reviews, I was expecting the worst. Critics are going on and on about the horrible dialogue, the tedious effects and the raucousness, so I didn't have a single hope for the movie. (I also feared for Taylor Kitsch, one...

Up until now, most of us know Cobie Smulders as Robin Scherbatsky from "How I Met Your Mother," where she plays the sarcastic Canadian. She certainly takes a different turn in "The Avengers" as Maria Hill, the hard-as-nails former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Smulders is as far...

Taking on the role of Bruce Banner/The Hulk is a risky venture, especially since past Hulks have crashed and burned on the big screen (not in a good way). In Joss Whedon's "The Avengers," however, Mark Ruffalo nearly takes over the film as Banner....

It was getting to the point where I was just plain sick of superhero movies.
Not the genre itself, but more the quality of these "blockbuster" superhero movies. They all had the same overacting, mind-numbing special effects, and A-listers at the helm, often miscast. (See: Edward Norton in The Incredible...

No, he's not a lumberjack, Mountie or professional snowboarder.
He's Brad Smith, a professional football player, Canada's first-ever "Bachelor." Most recently with the Edmonton Eskimos, the Quebec native wants to take time away from the sport to find love.

In the trailer for "The Dark Knight Rises," a calm and confident Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway) tells Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) that "there's a storm coming." While she may not have been talking about this summer's slate of action and sci-fi movies, the quote does lend itself well to the...

In what might be the most embarrassing confession of my career, I will admit that "America's Next Top Model" is my guilty pleasure. I've watched it since the early days of Adrianne Curry, the first-ever winner; I've seen Tyra Banks' hair morph from sleek bob to...

If you drive about four hours north of Toronto to the city of North Bay, Ontario, you can come across the coolest movie set ever. You may scoff, but we're talking about a Cold War-era NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) facility, in essence a nuclear fallout vault,...

Many "Star Trek" fans consider "Star Trek: Voyager" to be one of the lesser series in the franchise, paling in comparison to the original or to the fan favorite "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Four years into the series, perhaps in an attempt to...

"Body of Proof" may be on the bubble, but star Jeri Ryan (and the rest of the cast) hopes that it will be renewed for a third season.

I spent a lot of time watching "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" when I was younger, especially in my pre-teen years. It's funny how you don't appreciate something at the time, but when you go back to watch it, you realize: Man, my generation had it made...

With her otherworldly, ethereal look, Lily Cole ("The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus") is the perfect casting choice for Ernessa, the vampiric ghostly character in Mary Harron's "The Moth Diaries," which hits theaters in limited release this week. Cole's modelling experience also helps, as Ernessa...

Attempting to measure the "Real Housewives" franchise is a dubious exercise at best.
In terms of reality shows, it really is the most ostentatious spectacle of them all (except for the horror that was "The Swan") -- and it's probably why it's all the more addictive:...

Jody is plenty of things: a self-made multi-millionaire, a tell-it-like-it-is kinda gal, and a doting mother to her 26-year-old daughter. Her strong personality definitely helps dictate the drama in 'The Real Housewives of Vancouver,' which premieres on April 4 at 9 p.m. on Slice.
Jody isn't afraid to...

The Google bomb played on Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum has served as a check on other right-wing politicians tempted to make outrageously homophobic remarks, says the man who led the campaign to discredit the former senator after he made vicious remarks about gay people.
