You Can't Teach That: December 2011
http://youcantteachthat.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
You Can't Teach That. Tuesday, December 27, 2011. Let's Talk About The Tree of Life. Caution: May contain spoilers and spoiler-like substances.). You may or may not have heard of this one. Those of you who follow Cannes would have. It won the Palme D'Or this year, but the crowd reaction was that of loud boos and raucous cheers. There are ties to the story of Job also that I couldn't quite get at first. Sure, the film is partly about the grieving process and why bad things happen to good people. T...1 NFC...

You Can't Teach That: March 2010
http://youcantteachthat.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
You Can't Teach That. Sunday, March 07, 2010. 82nd Academy Awards Predictions. Last year, I was 20/24 in Oscar predictions, which I'm pretty sure I'll never beat. Will win: The Hurt Locker. I can't say why a particular film deserves to win, but I can tell you why each one won't win. The Hurt Locker? Early release date and small box office. Avatar? All flash and no story. A Serious Man? Coens have won too recently. Up? A token pick; The Academy actually hates animated flicks. An Education? I'm thinking Mi...

http://youcantteachthat.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
You Can't Teach That. Saturday, February 26, 2011. 83rd Academy Awards Predictions. Last year, I was 16/24. My all-time record is 20/24. "Should win" picks are who I would vote for if I was a voting member of the Academy. "Will win" picks are who will actually take home the hardware. Should win: Toy Story 3. Will win: The King's Speech. My Pixar bias is clearly showing (or maybe that's animation bias…. How To Train Your Dragon. Actually won the damn thing, even beating. Is too bizarre, Inception. And rea...

http://youcantteachthat.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
You Can't Teach That. Saturday, June 18, 2011. Let's Talk About Cars 2. In just six days, we'll be treated to the twelfth feature film produced by the studio that makes critical and financial hit after hit. I'm talking, of course, about Pixar Animation Studios, and its latest work of art: Cars 2. Last year, when I was doing my countdown of Pixar's feature films. I was asked if I could pick one from the library to watch, which one would I watch? Well, I chose Cars. Peach Springs, AZ. How do cars grow up?

You Can't Teach That: July 2010
http://youcantteachthat.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
You Can't Teach That. Sunday, July 18, 2010. Let's Talk About Inception. Note: The post below is certified spoiler free. Not that you'd understand what the hell I was talking about anyway if you haven't seen the film). Let's talk about the genre first: simulated reality. I admit I'm a bit partial to it. It seems to be hit and miss with the critics. The Matrix. And The Truman Show. Were very well received, but others like The Island. Is guilty of these, but 84% of the critics love it. And Ariadne picks a ...

You Can't Teach That: February 2013
http://youcantteachthat.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
You Can't Teach That. Sunday, February 24, 2013. 85th Academy Awards Predictions. Oscar night is a little over 5 hours away, which means that next week, all the good movies will be out of theatres and we'll be getting nothing but shit from now until the end of November. Last year, I was 19 for 24, one shy of my all-time record. As always, my "should win" pick is who I would be casting my vote for. My "will win" pick is who is actually going to take home the hardware. And we pick one from what's left.

You Can't Teach That: August 2010
http://youcantteachthat.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
You Can't Teach That. Tuesday, August 10, 2010. As most Edmontonians are aware (unless you have been on Mars for the past year, with your eyes shut and your fingers in your ears,) Edmonton City Centre Airport is closing. This has raised a lot of questions and uncertainty for a lot of folks, especially those who work at the airport, but the one that I am asking most often is "What will happen to the small general aviation aircraft using the airport? For those who don't know what "Villeneuve" is, this is.
