When Ron Howard blew into Toronto for TIFF recently he held a Q&A session after the screening of his Jay-Z documentary Made In America.
Sarah was there for the event and wrote a story about it.
One of the things Howard said: “I was watching Jay-Z and I thought of Frank Sinatra. Which doesn’t really make sense. But good is good.”

The recent arrival of the Fan Expo — known casually as “Comic Con North” — to Toronto brought out all of the costumed nerd types.
It also got me thinking about the many superhero songs that exist. So I made a list of 30 of them for Huffington Post Music Canada.
There are songs about Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, The Hulk, Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider, The Riddler and a whole bunch more.
