  • Ipulse: June 2009
    NEWEST STAR TREK ATTRACTS THE NEW GENERATION June 9, 2009 by Samantha Filed under Entertainment Leave a Comment Lynn Cinema Reviews the 11th Star Trek Movie By MATT FISCHER Staff Writer Star Trek 2009 movie poster In 1966, a phenomenon named Star Trek broadcasted it’s first ground breaking episode on NBC. Forty three years later, the franchise is still going strong with the release of the 11th Star Trek movie (aptly titled Star Trek). The last movie, Star Trek: Nemesis, was released in 2002 and while alright, tanked at the box office and proceeded to close the book on the familiar Next Generation cast. Hollywood insisted that the next film be a reboot of the series as a whole (which meant whole new actors for Captain James T. Kirk and Spock.) J.J. Abrams (of LOST and Alias fame) signed on to direct the movie and here we are nine months later, watching a beautiful film. The film gives the audience an early biography on Kirk and then proceeds to Starfleet Academy. Kirk is assigned to the Enterprise under the guidance of Captain Christopher Pike and First Officer Spock. Everything is fine and dandy until a Romulan from the future, Nero, comes to the past to eliminate Kirk and Spock. He destroys Vulcan and takes Pike hostage. Leaving the Enterprise with Captain Spock and first Office Kirk in charge. (Of course they win they day, but to spoil that for the reading audience would incredibly mean of me!) The new actors portraying favorite characters slip pretty much seamlessly into their roles.

  • Statement from Canada's Unions on Anti-Black Racism
    BULLETIN Statement from Canada's unions on anti-Black racism June 3, 2020 Amid the horrific scenes coming out of the United States of continued police brutality against protesters in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd, Canada’s unions are expressing solidarity with Black communities everywhere, including in our own backyard. The fight against anti-Black racism and police brutality is based in the long, despicable history of slavery, oppression and colonization of Indigenous communities and Black people in North America. The impact of which continues to be felt today. There is no reason that Black people in Canada should die at the hands of our police services. Yet the deaths of Black Canadians, Abdirahman Abdi, Bony Jean-Pierre, D’Andre Campbell and most recently under investigation, Regis Korchinski-Paquet, demonstrate that anti-Black racism continues to be a leading cause for the loss of Black lives. “Anti-Black racism is a destructive force in our society afflicting families and communities,” said Hassan Yussuff, Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) president. “Canada’s unions are committed to fighting all forms of discrimination and are urgently calling for accountability and systemic change.” It’s important to highlight the severe lack of mental health supports, the lack of access to prescription medication and poor working conditions facing many workers who are often Black and racialized. Research clearly shows that Black communities have diminished health outcomes compared to the broader population as a result of historic neglect on the part of our system. This is playing out in this current pandemic, with early indications of a disproportionate impact on Black, Indigenous and other racialized communities.

  • Black Lives Matter: a Canadian Problem?
    1 Black Lives Matter: A Canadian Problem? You may have seen the video of George Floyd, a 46 year-old Black American, being killed by a Minneapolis police officer on May 25, 2020. The officer's knee was pressed against Floyd's neck, preventing him from breathing. If you have seen this deeply disturbing video, you are not alone. Tens of millions of people across the world have viewed it and many more know the circumstances of George Floyd's death, which triggered a summer of protests in cities across the United States, Canada, and in other countries. The rallying cry of these protests was "Black Lives Matter". In addition to being a rallying cry for a protest movement, Black Lives Matter is an organization that began in 2013 as an online community in response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain in Florida, who shot and killed a young Black male by the name of Trayvon Martin on February 26, 2012. In 2014 the first Canadian chapter of Black Lives Matter was started in Toronto after the killing of Michael Brown by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. (https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/) The weeks and months following the killing of George Floyd saw a surge in awareness of the racial inequalities that continue to exist in the United States, Canada and other democracies. A survey of the Twitter activity of Canadian MPS found that among those who tweeted during the two weeks after Floyd's death, 44 percent posted about his killing and/or about Black Lives Matter.

  • Less Than a Decade After Launching Her Own Label, Tory Burch C'88 Is
    Less than a decade after launching her own label, Tory Burch C’88 is one of the most recognizable names in fashion. Through mentoring and microloans, the Tory Burch Foundation is empowering other women entrepreneurs to follow in her footsteps. By Kathryn Levy Feldman From Brand to RoleModel a recent evening at Tory Burch LLC in downtown Manhattan, the resort collection of bright, classic, ON and preppy-chic clothing and accessories was not getting much attention from the 75 women gathered in the trademark orange-and-green showroom. In fact, the clothing racks had been pushed to the sides of the mirrored space to make way for 11 glass-topped tables, where the women—aged 20 to 60, and each the owner of her own small business—were engaged in a networking forum modeled on speed dating and organized by the Tory Burch Foundation and its micro-financing partner, Accion. The evening was one of about a dozen similar mentoring events Burch’s foundation has held in locations such as New York, Chicago, and Hawaii. Every 20 minutes, the women moved from table to table to tap the expertise of a different mentor in fields including (that evening) retail, hospitality, real estate, insurance, and marketing. Burch herself circulated among the tables, listening in on conversations and beaming. 44 NOV | DEC 2012 THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE PHOTOGRAPH BY PATRICK DEMARCHELIER From Brand to “I’m lucky to have had many mentors throughout my career,” Burch says.

  • Eddie Murphy Reprises His Role As the Ever-Charming Prince Akeem and Leads an All-Star Cast for the Much-Anticipated Sequel, COMING 2 AMERICA
    COMING 2 AMERICA - An American Marvel! Eddie Murphy reprises his role as the ever-charming Prince Akeem and leads an all-star cast for the much-anticipated sequel, COMING 2 AMERICA. Three decades and three beautiful daughters later, Akeem prepares to take over the reigns of his homeland of Zamunda. As antiquated gender roles are being challenged within his home, he is also faced with a new dilemma on the outside. While tradition has always required a male heir to take the throne, Akeem feels torn between following custom and creating change. While considering his eldest daughter, Meeka, who is the strongest choice, his rival, General Izzi, is plotting a union of dynasties with his son, Idi, as Meeka’s groom. Meanwhile, an ailing King Joffer delivers the shocking news that Akeem has a long-lost son, Lavelle, in Queens. After an unexpected turn of events, Akeem, now the King of Zamunda, along with his trusted confidante, Semmi, return to New York to tend to this unfinished royal family business. Upon finding Lavelle, Akeem convinces him to travel to Zamunda in order to learn the customs of royal life in preparation for becoming the heir to the throne. While Akeem smooths tensions with his wife and three daughters, General Izzi decides that his daughter, Bopoto, will become Lavelle’s wife. All the while, Lavelle is falling in love with his royal barber, Mirembe, who has dreams of owning her own barbershop. Arsenio Hall returns as Semmi, alongside James Earl Jones as King Jaffe Joffer, Shari Headley as Lisa, John Amos as Cleo McDowell, Louie Anderson as Maurice and the legendary barbershop crew who sparked the laughs in 1988 for COMING TO AMERICA.
