3D Movies, An Ever Growing Trend

  • Posted by Erin Allen, on March 8, 2010

I went to see Alice in Wonderland on the weekend. Refusing to wait for the crowds to die down in order to see what was sure to be an excellent movie. I, of course, went to see the movie in 3D and as with any 3D movie I was happy with my decision.

3D, which is becoming an exceedingly popular trend, is in my opinion worth the extra money and the slight head ache. When items are popping out of the screen at you, you can’t help but feel involved. This works well in a movie like Alice because the Underland is very interesting and a place that I'm sure many people would love to visit. Some other movies that are set to be released in 3D are, Toy Story 3, How to Train Your Dragon, Dispeciable Me, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2, Disney's Rapunzel, and Tim Burton's Frankenweenie, that's just the tip of the ice burg. I09 has a list of 32 films to be released in 3D over...

Small town Canadian boy calls out nation’s hockey team.

  • Posted by Shane Woodward, on February 26, 2010

I've been pretty hardcore during this year's olympics. In the past, I've done my best to watch key sports, mainly hockey, but this year I've been all over the olympics. Last night I had hockey up on the big-screen, while watching men's curling and arial skiing online in HD, all at the same time. I've been bleeding maple flavoured red and white this year, and my team, my country has delivered.

Last night, just as our Canadian women's hockey team brought home their third straight gold medal, I found my self embarrassed to be Canadian, and embarrassed to be a hockey fan, due to what I am calling the "douchebaggery" of the Canadian men's olympic hockey team.

CTV did a great job of covering the game, and moreover, did a great job of capturing the atmosphere of the arena last night as Canada supported their gold medalists. All of Canada that is, except the Canadian men's hockey...

Discovering a New Sound Makes our Week

  • Posted by Shawn Patriquin, on December 11, 2009

Anyone that has been to our firm or has tuned in our agency radio station knows that there is always great tunes spinning in the office. Music is a big part of our culture here and we love it when we discover a new artist that provides a unique sound. Recently we discovered two great rockabilly ones that we've been listening to all week.

Kitty, Daisy & Lewis

Kitty, Daisy & Lewis are a three-piece band comprising the teenage siblings of the Durham family. Their music is influenced heavily by R&B, swing, jump blues, country and Western, blues, Hawaiian and rock 'n' roll. They are all multi-instrumentalists playing guitar, piano, banjo, lapsteel guitar, harmonica, double bass, ukulele, drums, trombone, xylophone and accordion between them.

Full Circle?

  • Posted by Shane Woodward, on October 26, 2009

 

For those of you that haven't yet heard, Creed, the band that basically shaped (for good or for ill) the future of mainstream "flyover" rock is back together. Their new album, "Full Circle", is set to be released tomorrow, but we're going to give you a chance to hear the album in full today at 2:00 pm on they inspire live.

Love them or hate them, you can't argue with the fact that Creed has sold more albums and made more money than god. Personally, I liked the raw breakout sound of the band (My Own Prison) much more than any of the over-produced "look we're rich" sounds that came after achieving stardom (Human Clay and afterwards). For most people, that post-success sound is the only Creed they've ever known, an in many cases, the Creed they've learned to hate. When I heard that the album was going to be called "Full Circle", I truly hoped that it meant that they were going...

Friday Fix. September 7-11

  • Posted by Ryan Blaind, on September 11, 2009

This is the first post hopefully in a series that will be coming out each and every friday for the next little while. There will be no structure to these posts, basically just a brain dump of cool things and notable websites that I have come across during the week. So here goes nothing.

9/11 Memorial

911 Memorial

Today over at the Brand New blog, they have written up a post about the new identity for the 9/11 Memorial Site. I am loving the new design as well as the environmental graphics they came up with. Using such Hoefler & Frere-Jones as Gotham and Verlag, they really put this project on mark.
