The Ontarion’s arts and culture articles cover the local artistic scene, including news, interviews, and reviews.
Tune In Guelph: Hello Harvard
Hello Harvard played a set in downtown Toronto’s Horseshoe Tavern on Oct. 6. The show was part of Indie88’s Nu Music Nite, and the band opened the stage for two other performers, Rob Jankowski and Voodoo. Nu Music Nite was hosted by Indie88’s Dave Bookman, and was dedicated to celebrating […]
The Weekly Scene: Age of Ultron
The writers, directors, and producers at Marvel know quite well how to turn a comic book story into a genre film. After all, they’ve produced fantasy, science fiction, realism, and spy-thrillers to great acclaim. However, each Phase of the MCU is heavily punctuated by a film that veers away from […]
Film Review: Pan (2015)
There are very few people who aren’t acquainted with the tale of Peter Pan. J.M. Barrie’s beloved character has entertained children and adults alike for over a hundred years. I wanted to see a fresh take on this classic story, because I really love Peter Pan and ironically grew up […]
Cover to Cover: Mindy Kaling’s Why Not Me?
I want to be Mindy Kaling’s best friend. If you’ve ever met me, this isn’t necessarily a secret. I’ll gladly sing her praises any day. She was a fifth of the featured authors in my master’s thesis, though she alone accounted for much more than a fifth of the pages. […]
Hanson brings its Roots & Rock ‘N’ Roll to Toronto
I have many guilty pleasures—but Hanson isn’t one of them. I must have only been five or six years old when my older sister got her first Discman along with her first CD: Hanson’s debut album, Middle of Nowhere. Though I don’t vividly recall my first impressions of the young […]
Album of the Week: Royal Blood by Royal Blood
Hailing from Brighton, England this two-piece band consists of Mike Kerr (lead vocals, bass guitar) and Ben Thatcher (drums). Just like other popular duos of our time, (such as the Black Keys, Death From Above 1979, and Local H) Royal Blood pushes the envelope on what can be accomplished with […]
Trick or Flick
I’m a bit of a Halloween nut, mainly because I’m a huge fan of horror movies. So, to celebrate my favourite month of the year, I decided to start a horror movie column exclusively for the month of October. Each week until Halloween, I will pick a horror subgenre and […]
Alvvays returns for thirds with Moon King
Alvvays and Moon King rallied the crowd at The Brass Taps on Sun. Oct. 4 with an astral performance. With a packed house scream-singing “hey, hey, marry me Archie,” it might have been the loudest show of the year. This is the third time Alvvays has graced the University of […]
Gregory Pepper and His Problems’ album release at eBar
We are often asked to leave our problems at home when we come to work, but at the eBar last Friday night, Gregory Pepper brought His Problems along with him—and we were quite pleased that he did. Promoting the new album Chorus! Chorus! Chorus!, the Guelph/Toronto band, Gregory Pepper and […]
