There's a terrific 24 hour poutine joint here - sweet potato fries and about 15 different variations on toppings. Perfect for a hangover.

I'm in Montreal. Have been for the past 14 years (grew up in Tucson, Arizona, Canadian by birth) and damn do we have chips you guys have never heard of. General Tao, Hickory rib. The president's choice brands are insane. But the products we have in common, I'm not sure if its due to different restrictions or what,…

While I completely agree with the thrust of the review and truly loved the film, there are a few factual errors that kind of bug me. Without spoilers:

Though you're absolutely right that it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of the show, I fully believe Aubry. I mean, haven't they sort of been setting up that she did it? After that encounter with the drug dealer during her and Carter's day on the town, the way she so easily stabbed the guy, I figured it was a…

A "For Your Consideration" pitch if one of your talented writers is willing to write it or interested: What happened to succinct storytelling? Why is every movie 2 and a half hours? I remember seeing D.O.A. - the original - and being so impressed with it's efficiency. I understand a film like Transformers being…

After losing a girlfriend, I sat in my living room and watched the VMAs, which opened with a rousing, stomping live performance of "Holla Back Girl" as Stefani led a marching band through the audience. Inexplicably, I burst into tears. And continued to cry through the whole thing. I couldn't bring myself to change…

Does Houdini at least die the way he did in real life? By being punched by a couple of snot-nosed McGill students? Montrealers want to know.

As a local Montrealer, there's really nothing better than when Americans try to make the Old Port look like Europe. Or when you guys out and out set a movie here and then get all the local quirks completely wrong.

Jon Hamm once walked up to a friend of mine at a bar, smashed, and grabbed his lapels.  "Do you like money!?!" He shouted.  "I have an idea that's going to make MILLIONS!"

It's actually worse than one awkward experience when you don't quite know what will offend.  If I'm watching something and dreading a moment I know is coming…then nothing happens, great. If she asks me to fast-forward or turn it off, I just get annoyed.

My parents are the type to watch CBS shows like NCIS.  My mom's been watching "her serial" The Young and the Restless" since the '70s.  The one show I won't abide being anywhere near is when they watch Blue Bloods, which I find to have an insidiously eerie Christian propagandist bent (there's a reason Tom Selleck does…

Joel, believe it or not, it's not too late for you. If you read Calin's posthumously-released memoir "Last Words" it's not only touching and hilarious, but it gives you tremendous insight into how his process developed and how he came out of his shell (with AM/FM, of course).  I had the honour of seeing him live at a…
