With the Canadian election less than 48 hours away, I thought we should have a maple-flavored movie for our Saturday film feature. This Crash is not the American Oscar-winner from 2004 but a far more enjoyable...
A week ago I was having a conversation in the Fox News green room about the Downton Abbey movie with ...well, go on, guess: Tucker? Kilmeade? No, it was Tyrus. A hulking ex-professional wrestler who could...
