New Stooges Stand Up To The Classics

Posted By: Dan Allaire · 4/23/2012 11:54:00 AM

I took my family to see the Three Stooges movie and we all enjoyed it.  We are all big fans of the original classics in black and white so we were all really hoping they would do the original justice.  We were not disappointed.  The slapstick comedy you are used to with the stooges was front and centre from scene one and then just kept coming.  They also did a great job at adding in current pop culture to the old school style of the original stooges.  While, the three actors who played Moe (Chris Diamantopoulos), Larry (Sean Hayes) and Curly (Will Sasso) were all great, I thought Moe was by far the best and is the least established or lesser known of the three.  Hayes is best known for his role on Will&Grace while Sasso is recognized for his work on MADtv.  Diamantopoulos is from Toronto and does Moe to ...

Habs Fired Gauthier Three Months Too Late

I know the goal for each team starting a season is to make the playoffs but sometimes goals need to change.  Enter the Montreal Canadiens.  A team with a rich history of championship seasons, great hockey players and a true hockey town if there ever was one…BUT…sometime making the playoffs in reality is one round and two, if you pull off an upset, maybe the drawing board needs to come out earlier?  It was evident to most average Habs fans the team was not a cup contender and if it had managed to squeak into the playoffs getting by teams like Boston or Pittsburg in the east was not likely in the cards.  It must be tough admitting to fans rabid for another contending team that the towel is being thrown in early in the season to begin a rebuild, but it should have been done.  I suggest if a ...
