At this point in her career it's hard for [ANGELINA Jolie] to disappear into a role, even with her deliberately deglamourized appearance as a woman six months pregnant and frazzled with worry. We are constantly conscious of the fact that Angelina Jolie is Angelina Jolie, and everything else about the film strives to overcompensate for her celebrity, from [Michael Winterbottom]'s fast, grungy filmmaking to Jolie's own performance, which is technically strong but strangely terse, as if she feels it necessary to keep the audience at a distance. In its blunt approach, A Mighty Heart bears some similarities to Paul Greengrass's United 93, but while Greengrass drew us into the experience of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, Winterbottom tends to hold us at arm's length. He's wo...
He wrote a poem that I loved as a kid called The Way through the Woods," says the actress, 51. "I read The Jungle Book, and my dad bought me [Kim Cattrall], 'cause it was called Kim. Then I was shocked to find out someone with MY name was a boy. "We'll manage," says [Carrie Kipling] late in the film. "Oh, yes, we'll manage. I don't doubt that." "Even at this late date, you just hope that it works," says Cattrall. "But it was also that way with the series. There was always a feeling of 'I think we've gone too far' or 'I think we said too much' or 'I think we stayed too long"' -- as the show's popularity and cultural impact proved otherwise.
[Joan Schenkar] also spares some tenderness for the woman herself. In the same way that [Patricia Highsmith] burrowed into the troubled, twitchy minds of her "hero-criminal" characters, Schenkar seeks not to exonerate Highsmith but to understand her. Born in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1921, Highsmith was raised by a mother who was by turns neglectful and suffocating, a volatile pattern that echoed through Highsmith's adult relationships. After graduating from Barnard College in New York, Highsmith dove into multiple affairs in the bohemian Greenwich Village of the 1940s and '50s. Highsmith liked to mislead and muddle interviewers -- she called journalists "circling vultures" -- so Schenkar has returned to primary sources, sifting through boxes of notebooks, diaries and inventoried possession...
My dad sent him an email and said, 'Would you give him an autograph, or if you're passing through Winnipeg could [Trenten Huss] meet you?'" says the youngster. "And he said, 'Yes, I'm passing through Winnipeg at the Greenwood Inn and would Trenten like to come and cook with me?' "Well, I don't really cook it, but it's King crab legs with melted butter," he says. "That's probably my favourite dish ever. I just like the tenderness of the meat and the butter really adds to it." "In many of the cities in Canada we have clients, university and colleges with infrastructure that sits all summer, so it's a natural fit for us," [Michael Smith] says. "We're able to leverage our infrastructure and fill a crack when it's most needed. And that's just one manifestation."
Grant Park, Kildonan Place, Polo Park, St. Vital, Towne. 18A Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as a young man with high-flown romantic notions who pursues a beautiful young woman (Zooey Deschanel) who maintains a healthy cynicism about his notions of romantic destiny. It's a story you've heard a million times before, but it's told in such an inventive, relatable way, it almost feels like the first time. HHHH (Reviewed by Christy Lemire) The ensemble cast in this sputtering comedy finds a few good moments thanks to Jeremy Piven's surprising tenderness and a handful of well-written scenes. There's a soul rattling around at the bottom of this clunker, and it gets it off the lot, even if can't get you all the way home. HH1/2 (Reviewed by Katherine Monk)
Also delicious was veal osso buco -- veal shanks that were sliced across the bone and braised to a moist, flavourful tenderness ($20.50). Most of the osso bucos I've had elsewhere have been overwhelmed by tomato sauce, but in this case the red wine and marinara sauce mentioned on the menu tasted more like a subtle brown sauce, with only a tinge of tomato, and was all the better for it. With the entrees come a choice of vegetables (OK broccoli and carrots) or wild rice pilaf, either of them probably a better match than the third and, in some cases, clashing option of penne in marinara sauce. Veal marsala had no taste of marsala, only a very bland tomato sauce -- possibly with a touch of the cream that was missing from our cream soup ($20.50). We didn't complain about that one, but had to...
Christmas is not just a holiday we celebrate but a holy day -- the birth of Jesus Christ. The word "holiday" is a derivative of the term "holy day." On its own "happy holidays" is merely a term of exclusion signifying nothing other than the happy wish to have the freedom to do as one pleases -- i.e. to have a holiday from whatever it is that binds. Taken to its logical conclusion, this is a wish for anarchy. In contrast, "Merry Christmas" is all inclusive. It's about faith, prayer and offering. It's about rediscovering joy and the solidarity of friendship, the human tenderness of relations and the piety of souls of enchanted children and adults. Just as Jesus Christ came to Earth and stripped himself of divine glory in order to become poor for men of all races creeds and colours, so "Me...
In a key moment in one of this film's five interweaving narratives, a couple of arrogant punk kids recreate a scene from the Brian de Palma movie Scarface, romanticizing about how they will realize their own criminal ambitions within an already crime-ridden neighbourhood in Naples. Conversely, filmmaker Matteo Garrone, adapting Roberto Saviano's non-fiction expose, keeps it powerfully real with a mission to illuminate the debilitating effects of the criminal empire known as the Camorra on the individuals within its web ... and society at large. Cranky old Carl Frederickson finally takes a long-delayed trip, flying his house via helium balloons to Venezuela with a pesky stowaway in tow, and barely realizing he is experiencing the adventure and the parenting of which he's always dreamed. ...

There's something much more valuable than the price per pound on the block when Glen Nicoll's cattle herd moves through the Winnipeg Livestock Sales Ltd. auction ring next Tuesday. When Certified Black Angus appears on a restaurant's steak menu, it's advertising one breed's tendency towards more marbling in the meat, which is associated with taste and tenderness. It's not that other breeds and animals within other breeds can't provide similar eating quality, just that the Black Angus promoters have successfully taken the step of turning the breed into a brand. For Nicoll, beef production wasn't just labour, it's been a labour of love. The same could be said for countless herdsmen still scattered across this province who continue to put their own own personal stamp on the beef business b...
