The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Reboot Not For Fans Of The Original

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. rebooted

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. rebooted

The Risky Fuel household is many things. Among them: It’s the safe harbour for one superfan of the 1960s spy TV series The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

And so it was with much trepidation that our Sarah undertook reviewing the new Guy Ritchie-led film adaptation of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. for Consequence Of Sound.

Her conclusion? It’s probably not a movie for fans of the original.

Misha Cirkunov Aims To Rep Toronto

Misha Cirkunov

For all its size and bluster, the city of Toronto has yet to truly have a breakout mixed martial arts star.

Think of it as similar to what rap was like in the city pre-Drake.

Misha Cirkunov, a fighter recently signed by the UFC, is hoping to change that.

Sarah wrote a profile feature about Cirkunov for Fightland.

Floyd Mayweather vs. Ronda Rousey

Floyd Mayweather

In a rather surprising (and a little bit sad) turn in the war of words between boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. and mixed martial artist Ronda Rousey, Floyd has begun trotting out the ol’ “I make more money than you” line to argue he’s awesome.

Of course, Mayweather still has to fight his full fights. Rousey just finishes hers in 30 seconds.

Sarah wrote about this bit of little man dick swinging for Fightland.

Vaughan Mills Pet Patrol in action.

The topic of leaving your pet unattended in a sweltering automobile on a hot day is becoming an issue that’s popping up in the news more frequently as animal lovers become increasingly outraged about potentially negligent behaviour by pet owners.

At the Vaughan Mills shopping centre just north of Toronto the facility’s staff are taking an innovative and pro-active approach to this problem — the Vaughan Mills Pet Patrol.

I spoke to Vaughan Mills GM Stephen Gascoine about what goes into looking out for dogs in hot cars.

The full interview can be found at Samaritan Mag.
