Posted by: Mark McLeod • July 26, 2005 @ 12:00am
The name Tara Spencer-Nairn may not be familiar to many Canadians, but chances are her face is. Tara has appeared in a number of Canadian feature films as well as in guest-starring roles on TV shows Blue Murder, The Outer Limits, and Cold Squad.
Every now and then, it's nice to watch a movie that doesn't really care about being politically correct. Bad News Bears is the most un-PC movie since Bad Santa, and wouldn't you know it, both star Billy Bob Thornton.
When is the last time a baseball movie featured a kid in a wheelchair playing in the outfield? That's right, never.
Could The Island be that Logan's Run remake we have all been waiting for?
The Island stars Ewan McGregor as Lincoln Six-Echo, a man who lives in a perfect, yet very strict, environment. His utopian world is filled with duties and routines which Lincoln begins to question.
Perpetual bachelors John Beckwith and Jeremy Klein (Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn) have found a new way to have a lot of fun at someone else's expense â€" crash an unsuspecting wedding.

The Roald Dahl novel has been done before on the big screen.
Rivalries can be found in just about every sport. From baseball to basketball to hockey, and everything in between, a rivalry between two teams is often a driving component in the world of sports. Hell, there was even a nasty rivalry between two local high school teams here in Vancouver. In the world of wheelchair rugby the most heated rivalry is composed of the Americans and Canadians.
Marvel Comics' cosmic family blasts onto the big screen.
I admit it: I love Tom Cruise. In the purest sense, he is a movie star. He has the look, the style, and the charisma of one. I can even forgive his giddy appearance on Oprah as he raved about Miss Holmes.
So it's the end of the world, again. A concept we have been seeing in movies throughout history. But this time, legendary director Steven Spielberg examines one of the most classic of sci-fi stories that comes from the heart of science fiction itself.
