Pooh Jokes on a Global Scale
These crank yankers are creating more mischief than just prank phone calls. These puppets are engaging in all the carnal indulgences you hoped the Thunderbirds would have all the while fighting global terrorism. Team America: World Police is just like having your own puppet show - if you where more creative... and political... and could finish your own thoughts... The creators of South Park go high-brow in this political satire in an elaborate scheme to show puppets doing it. World Police gleefully tears a strip off the old Hollywood clichés and politicos but I wonder if they got wind of a similar project in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Not entirely similar, but I wonder if plot lines were being shared at AA meetings.

Meditative Science Fiction Poetry

Mommy, what's a communist?
Ah, Che Guevera, that sexy, sexy man who inspired generations of college students to sport berets and rebel against their bourgeois parents. It's a time honoured tradition that is quickly dying out in the era of six figure student loans. Who has time to rebel when interest is compounded daily?

What's that you say, Sixties cultural icon in danger of becoming irrelevant. Robert Redford to the rescue. Redford -- super hunk of the sixties and 70's, who founded The Sundance Film Festival -- ponied up the money to make Motorcycle Diaries. By all accounts it's a masterpiece that successfully captures the essence of a young man's journey to enlightenment. Now that poor Che's image has been used to hawk everything from T-shirts to Chile pepper vodka, perhaps it's a good time to reexamine the man and the myth.

Film Nouveau Démocratique

Jack Layton is on a roll. From successful bid for the National NDP party leadership, to Member of Parliament for the riding of Toronto-Danforth and now, his very own film festival. The bicycle peddling politician will be making his way to the Bloor Cinema on Saturday, April 16, for the gala event of the Jack Layton Film Festival (April 15-17).

Jack Layton is known to Torontonians as the grassroots politician who has served them as City Council member and local representative for more than 20 years. Together with his wife and fellow politician, Olivia Chow, the pair have been at the forefront of environmental and grassroots initiatives which have brought significant changes to the big smoke. Such as the wind turbine on Toronto's waterfront and the deep water cooling project for the city's office towers.

During the rein of terror of the Mike Harris neoconservative government -- which caused so much destruction to Toronto's social services -- Jack could often be seen on the streets supporting various rallies campaigning against homelessness and poverty. In 2000, his book, Homelessness: The Making and Unmaking of a Crisis, was published by Penguin/McGill.

Peter Ehrlich, organiser of the film festival, and long time supporter of Jack Layton, promisses an ecclectic progam for the event which will be thematically inspired by the issues persued by the guest of honour and name sake of the festival. The schedule will be released on March 21st at the festival's official web site http://www.JackLaytonFilmFestival.ca/.

The Toronto Police Anti-citizen squad expects a lull in effigy burning related incidents during the hours of the film festival.


Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind
A deeply moving comedy/drama by the strange and wonderful writer, Charlie Kauffman, the creator of Being John Malkovich and Adaptation. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet induldge themselves in one of the few opportunities in Hollywood to rise above the bland.

It"s all just a big misunderstanding.
Golfing Bush
One hundred and forty-two Saudis, including 24 members of the bin Laden family, were allowed to fly out of the US in the hours after 9/11, while commercial flights were still grounded. Surely, the facts have been skewed to make George W. Bush look bad. Michael Moore gives us a look at George W. Bush that will make you wince (or barf.)

THE CORPORATION - a very bad person
The Corporation, dir. Jennifer Abbott and Mark Achbar, writers, Joel Bakan, Harold Crooks. Corporations have the rights of human beings. Knowing this, and the other nefarious qualities of human beings, can make corporations an awesome force to be reckond with.
The Corporation is a slick packaging of bland and horrifying facts spewed out by the usual suspects, Maude Barlow, Michael Moore, et al. For the uninitiated, who might suspect the brave new world is paved with call centres, The Corporation is an introduction to the pervasive influence that corporations have on our lives. For the lapsed anarchist, its a tonic that will have you wondering where that balaklava got to. I found myself hooting at Noam Chomsky, "Yo, my man!"

Guess My Weight
Half the fun of keeping up with celebrities is seeing what monstrous thing they've done with their body this week. Renée Zellweger is a contrarian in this regard as she engages in Supersize Me weight gain gymnastics to fill the role of insecure modern woman, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.

This is lightweight stuff that is palatable to most anybody. It makes for a stir fry of giggles and heart plucks which may momentarily cause you to suspect that it's deep dish. But not to worry the next slap on the bum will bring you out of it. This is the only safe portion of Hugh Grant allowable for a balanced diet of comedy with a main course of Renée Zellweger.
