Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas - Why is The Grinch (Jim Carrey) such a grouch?

Stardust - Following his 1969 breakout success, "Space Oddity," David Bowie (Johnny Flynn) has a number of singles that flop, leaving many to wonder if he's just a one-hit wonder.

Unfortunately, things don't go well, but the tour has one positive outcome—it inspires Bowie to reinvent himself as Ziggy Stardust. Playing in Kingston, Regina and Saskatoon.
