Great performance by Roy Halladay tonight. First complete game of the year, 5 hits, 9 k's and only 1 run, coupled with some clutch small ball by the boys put them past Texas 2-1. I'm still apprehensive about the 2005 Jays, but it's been a good first ten games.

Nobody comes close to Keisha Castle Hughes in "Whale Rider", although Natalie Portman in "The Professional" gets an honorable mention.

Jays kicking ass so far tonight, 6-0 after 4. Great to see the boys beat up on Sarloos early, and Chacin is in top form. For those interested, all Rogers Cable subscribers in Toronto can get the game on the Digital Cable preview channel.

In The Mood was an awesome record. Good to see Coltrane and Getz on works being preserved too.

Brad Nowell. At least most of the aforementioned people got to enjoy fame. Brad died just as Sublime was growing on people. Although his music was often lighthearted, there was definitely poigancy, especially in songs like "Pool Shark".

Big win for the Jays today. Not that it means anything this early in the season, but it's good to see the boys play well at home. Eric Hinske has had a fantastic first 6 games, hopefully he's returned to his Rookie of the Year form.

And they say there's no atheist elite...

Ben Harper actually did a full fledged gospel album last year, and I didn't see him turn into a pretentious twat.

Hmm... well it's April 2nd, they've updated the site twice since and no one's mentioned it being a joke. It does wreak of being a prank though, as cool as I'd take it if it were true.

Keep insulting her. I'm enjoying ROC's rebuttals.

I'd say let her see them chronologically. At least that way she can have a positive memory of the trilogy by the end, unlike the rest of us.

Anyone ever hear Dave Grohl cover "Stairway to Heaven" on The Late Late Show? If you're talking about how well performed it was or how well he interpreted the song, then it was horrible, but that was one of the most entertaining TV show appearances ever. The most well done cover for me would have to be Sinatra's interpretation of The Beatles "Something". The worst? Out of Your Mouth - Music (Madonna). I swear to God, they're by far, without exageration, the worst band ever.

I heard "Talk", and I agree that it's fantastic. From this point on I'll be trying my best to resist downloading any of the other tracks, because I want to pretty much spend the first day of the album's release listening to it on repeat.

I think it's funny that they basically threw two people out of their band (not even including the guitarist pre-Fallon), and now they can't even keep anybody. They're like Canada's Knowles Family.

The new album "X&Y" doesn't come out for about two months and a week. As for the track you're talking about, do you mean "Let's Talk"? I haven't heard it or anything, but there isn't a song simply titled "Talk" on the album according to the tracklisting I found. Whoever was talking about it on Coldplaying.com said it reminded him of The Killers.

The Jacket - ** (4/10) A mix of dull thriller, dull drama and dull time travel film, "The Jacket" is a perfect example of how quickly intriguing concepts can go down the drain. John Maybury ("Love Is the Devil: Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon") directs and Adrien Brody ("The Pianist") stars in a film that was both raked by critics and ignored by movie goers. When Jack Starks is aquitted of a murder on the grounds of insanity and is sent to an asylum, he is subject to a contraversial treatment, namely being straight jacketed and locked in a body drawer. It is here that he travels in time, meets Keira Knightley's Jackie Price and begins to put the pieces together on his death, which he now knows to be only days away. For a genre that was once on the cutting edge of cinema, the psychological thriller has taken a big hit in recent years. Often involving time travel, unecessary plot twists and wretched characterization, the genre has been humanized by horrible pictures such as "The Butterfly Effect" and "Secret Window". This film, although showcasing a talented cast, is no better. The funny thing is that back when these types of movies were new, they were highly unpredictable, but as time passed by and screenwriters avoided making any changes to the genre archetypes, they've become just as predictable as romantic comedy. It's sad to see when a film starring Adrien Brody and Keira Knightley can't pass on its charm, but this one is almost pleasureless. Thumbs down to a dull, dreary B-film.

Bride & Prejudice - ***1/2 (7/10) "Bride & Prejudice" is the classic Jane Austen novel "Pride & Prejudice" retold on screen by Gurinder Chadha ("Bend It Like Beckham"). Instead of rehashing the old story and old setting, Chadha takes the story from 19th century England to 21st century India, and injects comedy, music and dance to make something fresh out of a story that has been done to death. Leading the cast is the enigmatic Aishwarya Rai, an enrapturing beauty who, while unknown to American audiences, may be the most popular actress in the world as the Bollywood industry's most bankable star. She has been rewarded many times for her work in the Indian equivalent to the Oscars, and once again gives a memorable and refreshing take on the Elizabeth Bennet character (renamed Lalita Bakshi for this film). Martin Henderson ("Torque") gives a surprisingly likeable performance considering some of the stars who have played the Darcy role before him (Colin Firth, Laurence Olivier), but the real star here is the director. Gurinder Chadha is absolutely wonderful at mixing cultures without any bigotry or one dimensional racial humour. In a way, she has the ability to do justice to both cultures instead of one, and the themes she explores make her work accessible to anyone. This is such a bright, new take on a classic story that it's hard not to love. Thumbs up, the first really good movie of 2005.

OR ... he is the only person on this board with a similar taste to yours. I can't say if he has the same to mine too though, cause i haven't seen the nominations thread. ←

Having seen Bride & Prejudice last night and looked back at the nominations thread just now, I can see that kaya is the only person on this board with good taste.

Underdow - ***1/2 (7/10) From director David Gordon Green ("All The Real Girls", "George Washington"), "Undertow" is the harrowing story of two children who are forced to depend on themselves after a horrible tragedy befalls their family. Jamie Bell ("Billy Elliot") leads the cast of talented yet more or less unknown actors as Chris Munn, a troubled young boy in a hopeless romance at the start of the film clearly lacking the approval of the girl's father. Frequently in and out of prison, his situation becomes all the more bleak when he and brother Tim (Devon Alan) find themselves on their own. Not only do the boys find themselves alone in the world, but also on the run from their uncle who is out to get a collection of gold coins inherited from their grandfather. Hopelessness is the key word in this film; the leads are put in an impossible situation, and nearly all of the people they encounter throughout their journey are equally hopeless. David Gordon Green has profound understanding of his characters here; he manages to bring the heroism out of the imperfect and turn a story of bleakness into an uplifting one. Great, if a little brief work can be found here from Dermot Mulroney, Shiri Appleby, Kristen Stewart, Eddie Rouse and Patrice Johnson. "Undertow" is just out there enough to be provacative, and just poignant enough to remain relatable. Thumbs up.

Damn, Frulla's a Liberal too, so this is definitely going through.
