Review: the documentary ‘Restless Creature: Wendy Whelan’

Andrew Parker
Film
A famous, but aging and injury plagued ballerina struggles with obsolescence in Linda Saffire and Adam Schlesinger’s observational and complex documentary Restless Creature: Wendy Whelan. Following a titular subject who says she once told people she would rather die than live in a world where she couldn’t dance, Restless Creature: Wendy Whelan simultaneously functions as comeback story, a loving ode to a career well spent, and a character study of a professional determined to go out on her own terms.

Review: ‘The Black Prince,’ starring Satinder Sartaaj

Andrew Parker
Film
The historical biopic The Black Prince is trying to do something admirable and heartfelt, but writer director Kavi Raz stumbles when trying to make a good film out of its rich source material. Sloppily directed, incoherently paced, but bearing the seeds and beats of something that could have been a sweeping and moving epic, The Black Prince is a low-budget dud that earns a lot of points for having its heart firmly in the right place, but has little else to recommend it.

The Hotel Saskatchewan in Regina

Regina’s historic and regal Hotel Saskatchewan

Historic hotels are doorways into a city, where you not only peer into the past and future, but live a part of the story the city has to share. Across Canada, some of the most incredible stories and spaces started with the stunning Canadian Pacific Railway hotels that were opened in the years following Confederation, like Regina's Hotel Saskatchewan.

Often my discoveries of cool new hotels come as a part of a larger or much different purpose for my actually being there. Sometimes a cool interview with an actor or director brings me to their favourite hotels which then gives me the opportunity to explore and develop an appreciation for that hotel independently and sometimes it is a special occasion that is either specific to the hotel or specifically related to the hotel.

Toronto's Iduna want to bring back the alternative rock that they grew up on in the 90s. For the mindful, alternative quartet, growing up on Toronto's festivals and music venues inspired them to follow their influences and deliver a mix of heavy, soulful, and high energy rock and roll.
