FULL STORY
DINING
Brix strengthens its foundation
Like a bottle that’s been resting in the cellar, Brix has blossomed into comfortable maturity, to emerge firmly as the little place that could. And did.
ENTERTAINMENT
kudos & kvetches
Two headlines on the front pages of the weekend Globe and Mail and Vancouver Sun smacked a smile on our mugs early Saturday morning, giving us hope that perhaps Canada can finally be its own country.
Legendary dancer keeps busy lecturing, accepting awards
On the right-hand wall of Jeni LeGon’s apartment hallway hangs a caricature of jazz legend Fats Waller, grinning impishly as he tickles the ivories.
Seven Days Ahead
It seems like ages since a decent Broadway production rolled into town—that or our memories have just completely failed us, which is more likely the case—even if it has already played here before.
MOVIES
Funny Shrek mocks its history
Ever since Jeffrey Katzenberg left Disney to start his own studio with a couple of billionaires named Geffen and Spielberg, it has been impossible to look at the feature-length cartoons produced by DreamWorks without comparing them to the standard that Katzenberg himself set when he worked at the Mouse House.
MUSIC
