Torontoist » Shatner

Hero: Breakfast Television

Torontoist is ending the year by naming our Heroes and Villains of 2007––the people, places, and things that we’ve either fallen head over heels in love with or developed uncontrollable rage towards over the past twelve months.

Resfest Resurrected

At the last Resfest, some “slamming” music video’s by artists such as Dizzee, Interpol and RJD2 kept things appropriately “popping” at the Royal. This time around, the global digital film festival kicks out more of what you came for, with new GONDRY directed BECK VIDEOS, Can-favourites PIZZA SHOP, and shorts by JARED HESS of that [...]
