Music

• Neil Young cancels Juno Awards appearance

  I can't think to too many musicians who have been as respected, as prolific and most importantly, as relevant for as long as Neil Young. He has a lot of contemporaries but no one would describe Young as a dinosaur or a hasbeen.

• Movie Review: Sin City

  The whole time I was left wondering whether I hated this film or loved it. In the end, I have to say it was a little of both. This movie is an instant Classic (5 out of 5) that will be quoted time and again. While it wasn't what I expected (or wanted), it did what it was trying to do flawlessly.
