My husband was at school with Rob Plant in the mid-1960s (King Edward VI Grammar School in Stourbridge, England). They were pretty much the same age, and my husband says Plant was part of a band since he was 13 or so, and that he was always listening to (and playing) a lot of music coming out of America that was quite…

Sometimes I feel like I'm the sole reader. . . .

I edit (and am the sole reporter for) a weekly newspaper in British Columbia. After I've written an article, I proof-read it at least twice, and still typos creep in. There's one in this week's paper, where I misspelled the surname of the leader of the provincial NDP party. Do I feel bad I didn't catch it? Of course.…

I like the fact that in the first film, Jonathan is played pretty broad and could easily have become a comic idiot (a direction they went in in the second film), but here he gets to show courage and quick-thinking, like when he goes to get the car and sees Imhotep's zombie-like followers and quickly joins and mimics…

No Agatha Christie, but she was in an episode of Inspector Morse in 1993 (her second credit on IMDB).

I guess this means we'll be seeing Corey Hawkins' character turn up on The Walking Dead again. Here's hoping things work out better for Sonequa Martin-Green.

We have bad cops here in Canada, but I guess policing here is vastly different, because I'd say here it's 90 per cent good cops trying to do their job, and 10 per cent who are dumb /racist/sexist/bullies (and I'm a reporter who works with the police quite a lot too).

There's a lot of good stuff in Returns. Yes, the kid is annoying, but expanding the roles of Arnold Vosloo, Patricia Velasquez, and Oded Fehr was a good move, the bus chase is great, Rick and Evie still have great chemistry, the fight scene between Evie and Anck-sa-namun is very well done, and I like the twist that…

Goldsmith's score for The Mummy is one of my favourites; it's just perfect.

BR, c'est moi . . .

He who represents himself has a fool for a client.

Hello fellow Canuck! And yes, Berton was a national treasure. Anyone who thinks that history is dull should read any one of Berton's books.

I'm possibly one of the few people here who read the book not long after it came out in 1970; probably about 1972 or 1973, when I was 9/10. Looking back, I had no idea how groundbreaking the book was; I just knew that it spoke to me in a way no other book I'd read did. So my first copy was the bottom left one; I also…

I was going to say the same thing. I'm a Canadian who is fascinated by the country's history, particularly the gold rush period in western Canada and the Yukon, and the Arctic/sub-Arctic region, so two hours sounds not nearly long enough.

In any crisis, 'What would Fred Rogers do?' is a legitimate thing to ask (and then act upon).

It was a terrible tragedy. Clayton was such a wonderful man and did so much for the community.

Thank you.

Thank you.
