Reporter / Film Critic I have always loved stories. Whether it's in books or movies, I'm a sucker for a compelling story. Compared to watching television, seeing movies in a theater has always been a visceral experience. There's just something about having the full IMAX experience or sharing an unspoken moment of anguish, joy and laughter with complete strangers. Movies have always had a special place in my heart and that's what brings me back to the theater. As the amount of prequels, sequels and spinoffs increase, I've increased my efforts to see more different, and compelling stories. I hope the reviews that follow reflect my efforts to take my moviegoing off the beaten path. When I'm not in your local theater, I'm probably at a baseball game or wrestling event.

Thanksgiving had just passed on Monday, here in Canada and I’d assume that somewhere down the list of gratitude for the is that AEW is coming to Canada for the first time ever. Before Wednesday’s…
Last September, upstart wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) shocked fans, by announcing that their first show from New York City wouldn’t emanate from a normal wrestling venue. Not Madison Square Garden, Barclay’s Center or the Hammerstein Ballroom would host AEW’s first NYC event; it would be held inside of the US Tennis Association complex, the home of The US Open. The biggest stadium in the complex is Arthur Ashe Stadium, which seats over 23,000 for tennis. Last year was a spectacle, which is pretty hard to accomplish in an industry build on spectacle. But, considering the recent backstage drama that AEW is desperate to move past, does this Grand Slam, live up to the hype, set by the inaugural show?
History was indeed made tonight as AEW presented the first of their quarterly TNT specials. If you’ve never been to an AEW event, make an effort to do so. I’ve never had a bad experience however, I’d be lying if I said that I was disappointed with Battle of the Belts.
Hell Hath No Fury (like a woman scorned) is the old adage but, I struggle to understand how it applies to this film. The trailers and press kit suggest that Marie is this oppressed damsel in distress that takes her fate into her own hands.
Here we are, less than a week from the AEW historic event at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City. The unique venue got me thinking about what other unique venues that AEW (or any other company) could run in the future.

AEW made a statement on Wednesday, September 22nd, 2021; a statement best surmised by Yonkers native, Eddie Kingston: “New York is now AEW’s town”! The first wrestling event held at the largest tennis specific stadium in the world was a groundbreaking moment in wrestling history and serves as clear and present message to fans and detractors alike. It’s a uniquely special feeling to know that you’re walking into the presence of history and over 20,000 of us did exactly that.
