SUMMER
LOVIN
I
ts no secret that the past couple of

years havent been among the best in
the history of cinema.
Sequels that have no right to be,
adaptations of TV shows that wed all
but forgotten and cookie-cutter action
movies filled up far too much of the
schedule.
But I had a moment of joyful revelation while putting this issue together.
After a few days spent researching our
Summer Movie Preview I jumped from my
desk, ran (okay...walked with some
determination) over to my deputy editors office and pronounced
with certainty and more than a bit of arrogance, I think Hollywood
is finally making good movies again.
Of course, in between the also-rans there have always been
extremely worthwhile films. But its only when we write these season
previews that we get a real good look at the big picture. And this
summer has very few films that make me sigh and grumble, and a
whole lot that, just the premise or the trailer, make me warm with
anticipation or even laugh out loud (which is not easy to do).
My personal summer will begin with action and suspense in May
(The Da Vinci Code, X-Men: The Last Stand), veer off into smart and
inventive comedy in June and July (The Break-Up, Nacho Libre, The Devil
Wears Prada, Super Ex-Girlfriend) transition to the best kind of over-thetop low-comedy at the beginning of August (Talladega Nights: The Ballad
of Ricky Bobby), and end with a bit of wistful musical nostalgia
(Idlewild) at the end of the month.
For some insight into why I find these particular movies so appealing
youll have to read through our preview, which kicks off on page 15.
And throughout this special section, look for the little interviews we
did with some of the biggest stars of the summer.
Starting it all off on page 16, Hugh Jackman muses on the philosophy
behind the premise of X-Men: The Last Stand. On page 20, Jack Black
talks about losing many fights to real luchadors (Mexican wrestlers)
while preparing for Nacho Libre. Youll find
Keira Knightley critiquing her own performance as
the comely Elizabeth Swann in the Pirates of the
Caribbean movies on page 24. And on page 30
we have Andre Benjamin explaining his love affair
with the 1930s and 40s, the era beautifully
exploited in his upcoming musical, Idlewild.

good things about Vancouver.
When told that if the Dude existed in
our country he would most likely live in
Vancouver, Russell laughs and says,
Okay, that is good enough for me.
Lebowski Fest has become such a
known entity that Jeff Bridges himself
attended last year when it was held in
Los Angeles. He played with his band on
the opening night, and then provided
Russell with his most memorable moment
of all Lebowski Fests.
He wore his jelly sandals that he wore in
the film, and I asked him about it. And he
said, What size shoe do you wear? I told
him 11, and he said, Here, try it on, and
he threw me his jelly sandal. I took off my
shoe and was getting ready to put my foot
in it and he said, No, youve gotta take your
sock off because I want you to get the full
Dude experience. That was pretty bizarre.

LEBOWSKI FEST PHOTO BY JERRY DUVALL
n the 19th and 20th of this month,

thousands of Dudes will gather in
Austin, Texas. And if you ask real nice,
next year they might come here.
Were talking about Lebowski Fest, a
two-day tribute to the Coen Brothers 1998
comedy The Big Lebowski. Accordingly,
those Dudes are devotees of Jeff Bridges
character, the Dude, a live-and-let-live
kind of bowler who is mistaken for an
in-debt millionaire known as the
Big Lebowski. The confusion leads a
couple of thugs to pee on the Dudes rug,
which spins him and his bowling buddy
Walter (John Goodman) off on a
complicated journey to recoup his loss.
The characters are hilarious, the
dialogue is just really quotable. Its kind
of like a really good album, you can listen
to it over and over again, says Lebowski
Fest co-founder Will Russell on the line
from his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.
The Austin event marks the 10th time
Russell and his partner Scott Shuffitt have
gathered fans from across the continent
(up to 4,000 per event) for what is
essentially a two-part party a concert
and screening of the film on the first night,
and a bowling extravaganza with contests
and costumes inspired by the movie on
day two. After kicking off in Louisville in
2002, the event has since travelled to
Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York.
And Russell says there have already
been lots of emails from Canadians asking
when Lebowski Fest will come north.
Its not a sure thing, but we want to go

SHAWN
ASHMORE
S
hawn Ashmore is adjusting to his new

haircut. The X-Men star he plays
Bobby Drake/Iceman in all three X-Men
films is in New Orleans preparing for his
latest movie, Solstice, which focuses on a
group of friends dealing with the suicide of
one their own. Ashmore needs a more
conventional hairstyle for his role as an
upper-class kid, a change from the spiky, gelencrusted hair he wore for X-Men: The Last
Stand, and the on-set stylist has obliged.
Its not quite as styled as I had in X-Men,
its softer, a preppy-style of cut, says Ashmore
on his cell. And I have a tattoo on my arm
that theyre covering up. Im doing all the
prep stuff before we start shooting.
With his penetrating gaze and boy-meetsman looks, the 26-year-old has become a
minor movie heartthrob. The Richmond, B.C.,
native who moved to the Edmonton suburb
of St. Albert when he was a baby and then to
Toronto when he was 10 can pinpoint his
role as X-Mens tortured mutant Bobby for his

swoon appeal, and specifically the on-screen
romance between Bobby and Rogue, which
remains one of the film franchises best story
elements (Rogues energy-sucking power
means she hurts those whom she touches).
What I really love about Bobby and Rogues
relationship is that its a tragic romance,
says the actor. Theres a romantic interest
there that they cant take as far as they want
to, and at the age, what you want is to have
someone you can really trust and share
yourself with and they cant. Thats tragic.
And thats why its so satisfying, as an
actor, to play. That sort of frustration leaves
people wanting more and rooting for them to
get together, but you feel that, ultimately,
maybe they never will. And I hope Im not
giving too much away, says Ashmore with
just a hint of trepidation, but there is another piece of the puzzle in the new movie,
in terms of the love triangle between Bobby,
Rogue and a new character called Kitty.

Be careful Shawn, you dont want to be
responsible for any X-Men spoilers. But
leaking too much plot info isnt first and
foremost on his mind these days. After
spending months surrounded by the artdirected and CGI-enhanced devastation
created for X-Men: The Last Stand, Ashmore
is getting an up-close look at real devastation
in post-Katrina New Orleans.
We are staying in the French Quarter,
which is on higher land so it didnt get a lot
of flooding, he explains, but the first thing
I noticed is the workforce it sort of doesnt
exist because so many people left the city.
Restaurants close super early, a lot of
businesses are closed, and not because
they were destroyed or damaged, but just
because they dont have a workforce. But in
the surrounding areas, in the parishes, the
damage is just total, its truly a disaster.

HUGH JACKMAN HOWLS ABOUT
X-MEN:
THE LAST STAND
I BY EARL DITTMAN
ugh Jackman is sitting outside his trailer on the Vancouver set

of X-Men: The Last Stand, the third in the X-Men franchise. Its
a chilly day and hes staying warm in jeans, a T-shirt and a
leather jacket. His sideburns clearly belong to his Wolverine character,
long and feral, but other than that he just looks like Hugh.
Much has changed since he was last here shooting an X-Men movie.
Bryan Singer, the director who made the first two movies into rich,
intricate stories despite the fact that hed never seen an X-Men comic,
is gone. He reluctantly left the team to go direct Superman Returns.
None of us were contractually bound to do another X-Men movie,
but we all really wanted to do a third one because we loved the roles
and we were extremely proud of the two films we had done, explains
Right, Halle Berry. There was another source of discontent.

It was fairly common knowledge that the Oscar-winner was
unhappy with the size of her part as Storm (who has the ability to
control the weather), and there was talk she would be the lone mutant
missing from the original lineup.
I was only interested that Storm had more of a part to play in the
whole scheme of things, Berry told me in an interview last year.
Storm is very much a part of the X-Men, but I never knew what voice
Storm was taking from the comic books, because it didnt always
materialize in the script for me.
But once her role was beefed up, Berry joined her old mutant
brethren including Ian McKellen (Magneto), Patrick Stewart
(Dr. Xavier) and Famke Janssen (Jean Grey/Phoenix) for their
third outing. New mutants include Beast (Kelsey Grammer), Angel
(Ben Foster) and Shadowcat (Canadian Ellen Page).
Aside from the resurrection of Janssens character (who sacrificed
herself to save the others at the end of X2), the plot revolves around
the discovery of a cure for mutantism, which is developed with the
genes of a cloned child who has even more psychic brainpower than
Dr. Xavier. Magneto organizes a showdown between humans and
mutants, recruiting an army of mutant warriors to fight the distribution
of the cure, which forces all mutants to choose sides.
Certain characters are offered the cure and some voluntarily take
it, some dont, explains Jackman. And I wont say which characters,
because I dont want to give away the plot. But you have a character
like Rogue as amazingly powerful as she is, she lives a potentially
very lonely life. Rogue is never able to touch anyone, to have a
physical relationship, to have children, or is never able to be married,
because of her mutant powers. Now, as politically abhorrent as
somehow the cure is, its also humanely, socially and incredibly
understandable that a character like that would take it.
Whether you like the X-Men films or not, we definitely

opened up the floodgates, says Jackman
Jackman, who spent the better part of his three-year hiatus from
playing adamantium-clawed Wolverine winning a Tony Award for his
portrayal of singer/songwriter Peter Allen in Broadways The Boy
From Oz. He also just wrapped work on Woody Allens romantic
comedy Scoop with Scarlett Johansson.
Ive been acting for 10 years, and you get this certain sense when
you have a great role. If you watch X-Men or X-Men 2, as soon as
they are over youre like, They could make unlimited movies from
these stories. These characters can go any which way, says the
Australian heartthrob who has also been married for 10 years. He and
actor Deborra-Lee Furness have a six-year-old son and a baby girl.
So, after Singers departure, in stepped Brett Ratner (Red Dragon,
the Rush Hour movies) to direct, and rumours of a mutant mutiny
among the major cast members began to circulate in the press.
Jackman says those rumours just werent true, and that once he
met Ratner he felt the studio had made the right choice. With Brett
on board, he pulled all the actors aside and said, Our job in the third
one is not only to round out the series because were paying off
things that have been sown in X-Men and X-Men 2 deliberately
were gonna take the stakes much higher than theyve ever been,
emotionally, recalls Jackman. We loved him from [that] instant,
especially Halle, because he gave Storm more to do in this movie
than the other two combined, Jackman says with a laugh. I mean,
Storm can now fly. Imagine that.
Now, for Wolverine, hes not a political beast in any way shape or
form, and in the process of this movie, I think he starts as someone
with very little opinion about the cure except for what it means for
him, continues Jackman. Wolverine feels like, If you want to take
the cure, you take the cure. If you dont, whatever. You do what you
want to do and Ill do what I want to do. So Wolverine is forced,
in the course of the movie, to actually work out what the cure is
politically, socially, and what his view on it is.
Jackman was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to play the
superhero this time. Even when he shot the second film, he says the
character felt new to him. But theres always a moment where you
dont know if its going to click again. The first week of filming I said
to Brett, Lets just get through it, and I want to watch the monitor
with you. And he did. Brett was great to me from the beginning. So,
after the third day, I was like, Boom, there he is. Theres the Wolverine
I know and love. I dont think all the stuff we did on the first few days
was useless, but it took a few days for me to reacquaint myself with
Wolverine. It was just putting it back on for me.
Although X-Men: The Last Stand is being billed as the end of a
trilogy, at least two spinoffs are already in the works Jackmans
Wolverine and McKellens Magneto are both scheduled for release
in 2007.
Whether you like the X-Men films or not, we definitely opened up
the floodgates, says Jackman.

THE DA VINCI CODE

WHOS IN IT? Tom Hanks,
Audrey Tautou
WHO DIRECTED? Ron Howard
(Cinderella Man)
WHATS IT ABOUT? First things first.
In a nutshell, author Dan Browns
bestselling potboiler tracks the
21
blood. He hooks up with the

curators granddaughter, Sophie
Neveu (Tautou), also a whipsmart code-cracker, and
together they unravel a
millennia-old mystery that points
to a secret aspect of Christs life
and a secret order sworn to
protect that secret. (You see a
theme developing, no?)
Lets put aside the
controversy for the moment. The
big question is: How will the
book translate to the screen? On
the plus side, its a fast-paced
mystery with a lot of action so
there shouldnt be much lag.
Also, the prose wasnt exactly
the books selling point (read:
the writing was quick and dirty),
so the movie wont lose a lot in
that regard. On the down side, in

order to crack the code, Langdon
has to draw upon buckets of
scholarly information and backstory that could very easily
come off as clunky exposition.
Back to the controversy,
there are umpteen books and
websites out there refuting the
contentious ideas in the novel.
But did you know that one of
them was set up by the films
studio, Sony Pictures?
TheDaVinciDialogue.com
was created to provide scholars
and concerned Christians a
place to share their ideas (and
thus defer anger) about what
some see as a sacrilegious
story. Of course, the site (which
includes tantalizing info about,
and pictures of, places and
things in the book) is also one
more way to drum up interest.

JACK BLACK PINS DOWN
NACHO LIBRE
I BY BOB STRAUSS
hen we think about masked Mexican wrestlers, the first name

that naturally comes to mind is Jack Black.
Yep, the School of Rock/Tenacious D sorta musician. The not
so athletic son of California rocket scientists. That Jack Black. Hard to
imagine the whole Lucha Libre scene (Mexicos WWE) without him.
I did a lot of wrestling training and a lot of boning up on my
Spanish, insists the comic actor, who rattled around the ring in
spandex for Nacho Libre. I did meet some real luchadores and I wrestled them, he adds for the doubters. They kicked my ass many times.
That we believe. But why would one of cinemas fastest-rising
comedians, coming off a plum dramatic turn in Peter Jacksons
King Kong yet, risk certain ridicule, probable physical harm and
insulting an entire culture that loves its kitschy masked maulers?
To help a great filmmaker realize his vision, of course. And if
anyone screams authentic Latin sports enthusiast more than
Black, it would be that Mormon expert on teenage nerdiness,
Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess.
Im stoked about it because Jared is f---ing creative and
strange, Black enthuses over the phone from a Manhattan hotel.
He picked a spot in Mexico Oaxaca for its beauty. I think itll
probably be the most beautiful comedy ever. Comedies usually dont
care about the quality of landscape and villages in the background.
Well, whatever they came up with, Hess and Blacks film can hardly
be more ridiculous than the 1960s Mexican films in which wrestlers
took on zombies, aliens, vampires and really scary women.
Its an entirely Mexican cast, except for me, the actor says. Im
only half-Mexican in the movie. My mother is a missionary from
Scandinavia, my father is a deacon from Mexico. They both die when

What? The Break-Ups
unhappy couple Vince Vaughn
and Jennifer Aniston
Jack Black (left) with Hector Jimenez

in Nacho Libre
Im two years old, so Im raised in an orphanage. I grow up and Im

the head chef at the orphanage, and everybody hates my cooking. I
say, Its not my cooking; you guys dont give me money to buy fresh
ingredients. So I come up with this plan to get money to buy good
food for the kids. I become a wrestler on the side, in secret, cause its
not godlike.... But I do it for the children.
Arch as that sounds, Black genuinely has been nurturing a softer
side of late. School of Rock and Shark Tale won him a whole new
generation of child fans, he hosted this years Kids Choice Awards,
and in March he married musician Tanya Haden. Theyd attended
high school together, but reconnected only last year at a friends party.
I couldnt be more pleased with the way my life and career have
turned out, Black says in a rare instance of sounding utterly sincere.

THE BREAK-UP
THE OMEN
WHOS IN IT? Jennifer Aniston, Vince Vaughn

WHO DIRECTED? Peyton Reed (Down With Love)
WHATS IT ABOUT? This highly anticipated
romantic comedy takes an ass-backwards
approach to the genre by focusing on an
unhappy couple unravelling rather than
two people falling in love. Bickering
couple Gary (Vaughn) and Brooke (Aniston)
are ready to call it quits, but neither are
willing to move out of their gorgeous
condo, which sets the stage for an all-out
turf war. Of course, all that fighting and
jealousy sure is a turn-on...
WHOS IN IT? Julia Stiles, Liev Schreiber

WHO DIRECTED? John Moore
(Flight of the Phoenix)
WHATS IT ABOUT? If youve ever wondered
why there arent too many 30-year-olds
named Damien walking around its because
in 1976 The Omen was released and the
name was suddenly as alluring to prospective
parents as Adolf or Idi. In both the original
and remake, the new-born spawn of Satan is
swapped with the baby son of a Washington
politico and his wife who slowly realize their
tyke Damien really is a little hellraiser.

WHATS ITS ABOUT? Tongues wagged and cash

novelist Lauren Weisberger published
The Devil Wears Prada, a thinly veiled
roman clef about the trials and
tribulations of fresh-faced college grad
Andrea Sachs (Hathaway), who becomes
the assistant to Runway magazines boss
from hell Miranda Priestly (Streep).
Weisberg had worked as assistant to
Vogues notoriously demanding editor Anna

Wintour, and the resemblance between the
two are striking. Interestingly, no Cond Nast
publication, which publishes Vogue, or any
other glossy womens magazine reviewed or
mentioned the book in their pages. But
look for the mag worlds allegiance to
Wintour to soften with the film, especially
since Wintour has a cameo.
SUPERMAN RETURNS
WHOS IN IT? Brandon Routh,
Kate Bosworth
WHO DIRECTED? Bryan Singer (X2)
WHATS IT ABOUT? Way back
in 1998, the prospect of reviving
the Superman franchise
(which petered out in 1987 with
the sadly unremarkable
Superman IV: The Quest for
Peace) was led by director
Tim Burton, scriptwriter Kevin
Smith and actor Nicolas Cage,
who was dying to play the
Man of Steel. But since the
configurations of such highprofile pictures come and go like
the tide in Hollywood, these
A-listers were soon history and a
list of other possible candidates
made the rounds McG and
Brett Rattner were going to
direct, Josh Hartnett and
Paul Walker were going to

don the blue tights.
Finally, in 2004, the pieces
fell into place with X-Men
director Bryan Singer going
behind the camera and soap
opera actor Brandon Routh
grabbing the lead. The films
plot is surprisingly simple
we get a retelling of
Supermans life story, from his
discovery as an infant inside a
space pod in the middle of a
Kansas cornfield to his
emergence as the worlds
greatest superhero. The new
section of the plot revolves
around Superman leaving
Earth to search for the remnants
of his destroyed home planet,
Krypton. Hes gone for six
years, and when he returns he
discovers Metropolis doesnt

need him anymore and his true
love, Lois Lane (Bosworth),
has moved on without him. The
only constant seems to be the
hatred of his archenemy

Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey),
who is determined to get rid of
Superman once and for all.

PIRATE TALK
WITH KEIRAKNIGHTLEY
I BY BRUCE KIRKLAND
he loves the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise, but she

hates herself in it: Keira Knightley is her own worst critic.
Its the first time Ive ever had to go back to a role, the
21-year-old English lass says of returning to the screen as the
combustible aristocratic beauty Elizabeth in the franchises first
sequel, Dead Mans Chest. And its weird because Im my biggest
critic, by a mile!
Knightley, who jumped into the public eye as a wiry soccer player in
Bend it Like Beckham and now has the
prestigious tag Oscar-nominated attached
to her name after playing another Lizzie in
Pride & Prejudice, lacks self-confidence
despite, or perhaps because of, growing up
as the daughter of actor Will Knightley and
playwright Sharman Macdonald.
You give me my worst review ever and
times it by about 10, she says in a selfanalysis, giving all the Pirates credit to the
filmmakers and her co-stars, Johnny Depp
and Orlando Bloom. And its a huge fault, a
huge fault! So, therefore, I possibly hate
every performance Ive done and Id like to
completely change it.
It is very difficult therefore to go back to
a performance that I would like to do completely differently [in the original] and try to
keep that kind of continuity with it. But what
you do say is that its three years on and shes
grown up a bit and I can perhaps fix some of
the things [she didnt like the first time].
That said, Knightley concedes there is
only so much an individual can do in an
adventure movie like this, in contrast to the
intense responsibility she took on to shape
the essence of Pride & Prejudice.
Its a spectacle, she says. Its a truly
different beast, which makes it exciting, and
which makes it incredibly boring at points,
too. Its a totally different headspace.
This new spectacle involves yet another
supernatural foe for Captain Jack Sparrow
(Depp). It seems he has a debt to pay to
Davey Jones, bloodthirsty ruler of the ocean.
Jones and his army of sea-phantoms come
after Sparrow just as his two pals, Will (Bloom)
and Elizabeth, are about to get married and live happily ever after.
This interview came smack in the middle of the exhausting shoot.
Two sequels (the third Pirates movie is expected out next May) were
shot simultaneously in two 100-day chunks with a six-week break
during last falls hurricane season, all under the guidance of original
Pirates director Gore Verbinski. It is my life now, Knightley grouses
with a laugh when talking about how Pirates fit into her life. There
isnt anything else!
Knightley, despite her smarts, does not claim to know why Pirates
caught on so fabulously the first time. Its still a mystery. But whats
amazing is that there is such a wealth of stories there the pirating
stories. If you can tap into it and do it well, then its just...
She loses the words and moves on to a fresh idea. Whats clever
about it is that its got humour for adults and its got humour for kids
and kids wont get the stuff that the adults are laughing at. In a
funny way, that makes the best kind of kids movie.
Yet making the original was an enormous gamble, she now recalls.
Talk about risk! A) Youre making a pirate movie and that hasnt
worked in God knows how long. B) Youre making a movie based on
a Disney theme park ride. C) Youve got Johnny Depp going mental.
So how is this going to work?
It did work, making some observers leary of sequels. Why should
there not be? Knightley asks. You have no idea what is going to
happen in the second and I promise you it will surprise you!

WHOS IN IT? Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans
WHO DIRECTED? Keenen Ivory Wayans

WHATS IT ABOUT? Marlon Wayans is clearly

(Monster) theory that a major transformation
is the quickest way to an Oscar win. First
the six-foot-two African-American actor
dressed up like a Paris Hilton clone for the
undercover-agent comedy White Chicks,
and now hes playing a jewellery-robbing
little person whos mistaken for a toddler
and accidentally adopted by a loving
family. Breast milk and rectal thermometer
jokes ensue. The shrinkage is courtesy of
some pretty cool CGI magic, so if not an
Oscar for Wayans, maybe Little Man will
earn one for special effects.

pipes to an eccelectic group
of comic and indie actors,

including Steve Buscemi,
Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jon
Heder, Catherine OHara,
Fred Willard, Jason Lee and
Kathleen Turner.
If the films ultra-real
animation reminds you of
The Polar Express thats
because it was created by
the same company,
ImageMovers, using the
same motion-capture
technology (think ping-pong
ball-shaped sensors stuck
on an actor in all the right
places). But the folks at
ImageMovers seem to have
listened to complaints that
characters in The Polar
Express (including several
versions of Tom Hanks) were

so realistic they were creepy.
The characters in this film
look more like claymation
dolls than real people.
And, like The Polar
Express, this film has
also been given the 3-D
treatment and will be
available in that format
where theatres allow.
Unfortunately, right now
that means only two theatres
in Canada SilverCity
Mississauga and Colossus
Woodbridge (both in the
Toronto area) but sources
say there may be a few more
theatres ready before the
films release date.

IDLEWILDS
ANDRE BENJAMIN
KICKS IT OLD SCHOOL
I BY BOB STRAUSS
hough hes still best known as hip-hop superduo OutKasts

flamboyant Andre 3000, Andre Benjamin is making an
increasingly bigger name for, well, his real-named self in the
movies. Not part of the plan, explains the artist at a Century City
hotel suite in L.A.
Actually, before I started doing music I was in the drama troupe
in school, says the Atlanta-based Benjamin, decked out in one of
the typically eye-catching outfits (bright green shirt, striped tie
tucked between its buttons, straw hat and scuffed shoes just to keep
it real) that has earned him Best Dressed and Sexiest Male honours
from fashion magazines and its true a vegetarian group.
It was just something to do, I never said I wanted to be an actor.
Then I got into music and I started to do videos, and I got calls from
different producers to come in and read for roles. So I moved out to
L.A. for a year and a half, took a lot of meetings and a couple of
acting workshops. Got into it.
Acclaimed work in Be Cool and Four Brothers resulted. And finally,
come August, we expect to see Benjamins most ambitious film to date,
Idlewild, which he describes as a 1930s period piece. Its kinda like

a love story/thriller/gangster/musical/everything type of movie.
Set in a small Georgia town, the film stars Benjamin and OutKasts
other half, Big Boi (Antwan Andre Patton), as speakeasy partners in
trouble with the law, the mob and, of course, women. Written and
directed by the groups music video helmer Bryan Barber, Idlewild
was originally planned as a cable TV production. But as its scope and
budget grew, so did its theatrical prospects. Delayed release dates for
the movie and the accompanying soundtrack album have been
attributed to the projects expanding artistic vision.
Part of that vision, Benjamin hopes, will capture the spirit of the
films time as well as its look and sounds.
Im a fan of that era, he says. The 1930s and 40s, for black
Americans, was probably when heads were the highest. They dressed
well, it was all about family, it was all about respect. Gentlemen,
ladies; it was fun to get back to that. I feel like some of those morals,
they could work a little bit now.
Benjamin himself gave up excessive drinking, smoking and eating
bad food some years ago. After breaking up with Erykah Badu, with
whom he has a child, he wrote the song Sorry Miss Jackson, in
which he apologized to his exs mother. And if you spot him around
Hollywood these days, itll more likely be at a film festival screening
than a raucous party or noisy nightclub.
Even now, in social situations, Ill pretty much just go to a corner
and watch whats going on, the popular music star explains. I dont
talk a lot, Im never really the life of the party. My work is entertainment, and I think attention is a by-product of it, but I really dont like
to be the centre of attention. But its not like I have a bad time at
parties or anything, I can get fun out of watching everybody else.
When its time to put on the Andre 3000 whacko persona, well,
that may be work, but its a kick too.
Andre 3000 is the total opposite of me, and it takes me a minute
to get into that space, Benjamin admits. People watching a video
like Hey Ya think, like, Hes a wild and crazy guy. But really, Im not.
Im more like a kid playing dress-up in the mirror and having fun.

WHATS IT ABOUT? Its been reported that this
films producers made their pitch to
Hollywood studios with the simple, Six
words: Will Ferrell as a NASCAR driver.
Who knows if the storys true, but you sure
can appreciate the appeal of seeing Ferrell

vents his anger on the ant hills in his yard.
Little does he know the ants, who call

(The Beautician and the Beast)
WHATS IT ABOUT? Based on author Jason
Lethcoes graphic novel Zooms Academy
for the Super Gifted, this family film stars
Allen as Captain Zoom, a former superhero
entrusted with teaching a bunch of kids

how to use their various superpowers. If
you think the story sounds like Sky High or
the X-Men movies, youre not alone. In
June 2005, Twentieth Century Fox and
Marvel Comics sued Zooms filmmakers
Sony Pictures and Revolution Studios,
citing they ripped off elements from their
X-Men movies. However, it seemed what
really irked them was Zooms original
opening date, May 13, two weeks before
the release of X-Men: The Last Stand. Sony
and Revolution made a few changes to the
script, moved the movies opening date to
August and the suit was dropped.
WORLD TRADE CENTER

WHOS IN IT? Nicolas Cage, Michael Pena

WHATS IT ABOUT? No stranger to controversy,
Stone delves into the emotional rubble of
9/11 to bring us a tale of survival. Port
Authority officers John McLoughlin (Cage)
and William J. Jimeno (Pena) raced into
the World Trade Center when the first
building was hit to look for survivors.
However, when the building collapsed they
themselves became trapped under tons of
debris for a harrowing 24 hours before
being rescued. According to Stone, the
film has absolutely no political bent and
is simply about the heroic effort to save
two lives.

WHOS IN IT? Rudy Youngblood, Dalia Hernndez

WHO DIRECTED? Mel Gibson
(The Passion of the Christ)
WHATS IT ABOUT? You cant blame Mel Gibson
for feeling like Scarlett OHara. After
The Passion of the Christ brought in $612million (!) worldwide, he was the belle of the
Hollywood ball, and beset upon by studio
suitors looking to partner with him on any movie he wanted to make. Some of them were
probably thinking, Well, at least he got that crazy lets-make-a-superviolent-movie-in-adead-language crap out of his system. Oops.
With Apocalypto, Gibson wanders into even more violent and more obscure historical
territory than with Passion. Set some time after 900 AD, the movie focuses on the twilight of
Mexicos Maya civilization a society whose achievements included conceiving the
notion of zero and building grand cities, but whose darker side promoted war-mongering
and human sacrifices. Gibsons film, spoken in the Yucatec Mayan language, focuses on a
man named Jungle Paw (American native dancer/performer Youngblood), who becomes
caught up in the bloodthirsty ways of his leaders. Thats not much to go on, but any Gibson
fan should know this flick will cast aside plot intricacies in favour of heart-stopping action,
and maybe even a few heart-ripping human sacrifices. OPENS AUGUST 4

Pouring a Stella Artois takes patience and a little skill with a knife. In other words, as the frothy head foams over the edge of the
chalice, your barman should gently cut it off. Doing so prevents the beer from going flat too quickly. Its also just one of nine steps
involved in an age-old ritual we like barmen to observe when pouring it. Regrettably, you wont find this attention to detail everywhere.

The colour orange juices up summer whites I BY LIZA HERZ
POOR ORANGE.
Mocked and maligned as a

bad 70s colour used for
prison jumpsuits or fast food
joint decor (the better to
encourage patrons to leave
quickly), orange has suffered

many indignities.
But now orange is finally
getting the positive attention
it deserves. This season,
Phoebe Philo at Chlo,
Behnaz Sarafpour and

Oscar de la Renta all showed
vivid, solid-orange garments
while Jean-Paul Gaultier
created this seasons standout
look, the already iconic
Lacoste
Herms
Herms goddess dress (right).

The timing is perfect.
With all the whites and
neutrals in store for summer,
it only makes sense to add
some vibrant, saturated
colour to the mix. And while
there were plenty of neon
brights on the runways we
humbly submit that orange
is the most wearable and
flexible, a zippy bright that
never descends into cheap
retro disco (like say, electric
blue patent wedgies).
A jolt of summer citrus
can prevent your subtle
neutrals (the wheats, linens
and taupes) from veering
into sloppy hippie territory.
Try accessorizing rumpled
linen (which can run the risk
of looking shapeless) with
an orange leather tote bag
(Hogan, pricey) or our more
wallet-friendly choice
(Jeanne Lottie, not pricey
and Canadian to boot).
Orange can also take
centre stage when paired
with white (observe how
orange keeps this Lacoste
dress [left] from looking like
you took a wrong turn on
your way to the tennis court)
but it also plays well with
other colours like red and
deep yellow, which can be
very Buddhist, very stylish.
With all this attention, we
predict that orange will now
be considered a neutral like
red. You heard it here first.
Trust us.

1 Banish those heavy
perfumes until the fall. Try
Davidoff Cool Water Woman
Summer Fizz ($59, fine
fragrance counters), a limited
edition summer-only take on
their classic oceanic fragrance,
but juiced with citrus and mint
for humidity-bashing zip.
2 We love this Coco-Chanel-onacid orange Canvas Tote (Jeanne

Lottie, $90, jeannelottie.com
for stores). So if you wont tell
anyone that its actually a diaper
bag, neither will we.

5
3 Pair this silk/cashmere

Apricot Pullover from Penguin
($125) with khakis for day or a
white skirt for evening. Perfect.
4 We dont actually believe
that ugly is the new pretty.
We think these comfy
Crocs Clogs ($35, Roots), a
favourite of stars like new mum
Jennifer Garner, are actually
kinda cool. Plus they give good
support, are vented for summer
wear and rugged enough for the
pavement or the wilds.
5 Not orange, but still in the

citrus family. Get started on those
summery highlights now with
John Frieda Lemon Lights
Highlighter ($10, drugstores), an
easy to use lemonade-scented
gel that works with the suns
heat to gradually give hair a
subtle glow.
6 Warning: not a foodstuff.
With ingredients like olive oil
and Sicilian blood orange
extract, Tarocco Conditioning
Treatment ($12, Caryl Baker
Visage salons) will leave your
hair soft and nourished and
your shower smelling like an
orange grove.

SEXSMITH WORKS HARD FOR

THE TIME BEING I BY INGRID RANDOJA
on Sexsmith really
likes to write songs.
In the past 10 years
the Toronto-based singer/
songwriter has released
10 CDs, and when you
take into account that his
former record label sat on
some of his completed
albums for up to two years,
his output could have been
even greater.
His latest effort,
Time Being (in stores May
16), is yet another heartfelt
masterwork. As usual,
Sexsmiths simply written
lyrics blend seamlessly with
weaving melodies. And, on
this album, theres an
abundance of sad sounding
tunes but when you
listen closely to the songs
words you realize hes
telling listeners that theres
always hope and to sit tight,
things will get better.
I think thats been a
theme through a lot of my
records, says Sexsmith on
the line from his Toronto
home. The songs become
sort of pep talks for myself,
I try to write encouraging
words.
But also on this record
theres a preoccupation with
mortality as well. I had a
couple of friends who
passed away in the last
couple of years, some high
school buddies, childhood
friends. I think that was on
my mind in some of the
writing, so its a little darker
lyrically.
The 42-year-old
St. Catharines, Ontario,
native has accumulated a
very devoted following
people attracted to his
songs, mellow voice and
unassuming attitude. But
on Time Being, Sexsmith
takes an out-of-character
swipe at the vagaries of
modern music consumption

with the tune Jazz at the
Bookstore, which asks,
does music deserve to be
marketed alongside scented
candles and chocolatecovered coffee beans?
I had a lot of things on
my mind when I wrote that
song, says Sexsmith.
I was in a coffee shop
I was doing my laundry
around the corner and
I hear this great old song,
Rock Island Line by
Leadbelly, and then all of a
sudden you hear the coffee
grinder drowning it out.
That became the first line
of the song, Leadbellys in
the background.
I went back to the
laundromat to write the
lyrics and started to think
that a lot of these places

Starbucks, Chapters are
kinda white, middle-class
environments, and when
you go into these places you
hear, in the background, all
this great blues and jazz
music. But its like
wallpaper for people who
are on their laptops drinking
their lattes. But that music
was once dangerous and
sexy, and its been
overtaken with this fake
sophistication.
I was trying to write a
kinda humorous take on
that, and myself as well. I
have coffee at home, but
Im like a zombie going to
Starbucks for a coffee every
morning, Im just as
addicted as the next
person.

FILLING THE X-MEN GAPS
New title has details about what happened between the second and third flicks I BY SCOTT GARDNER
X-MEN: THE OFFICIAL

MOVIE GAME
DS, GBA, GC, PC, PS2, X360
The latest entry in a long line of

X-Men-themed games is designed
to bridge the gap between 2003s
big screen X2: X-Men United
and this months blockbuster-inwaiting X-Men: The Last Stand.
To make sure the games

story is up to the task, publisher
Activision spent the big bucks
for a story co-written by
Zak Penn, the screenwriter of
both X2 and the new movie, and
legendary comic book writer
Chris Claremont, editorial
director for Marvel Comics, who
HITMAN: BLOOD MONEY

PC, PS2, XBOX
The fourth installment of the bestselling,

critically acclaimed Hitman series finds
Agent 47, the bald-headed, cold-eyed killer,
on the run after other assassins from his
agency, the ICA, are systematically killed.
The series continues to emphasize
stealth over mindless blasting. If you make
it through a mission silent, unseen and
deadly, youll get a big box of cash.
However if you leave behind a bloody
mess, the agency actually subtracts the
cost of cleaning up after you from your
payment. Also, the more press coverage
also wrote The Uncanny X-Men

for 17 years. Although you
certainly dont need to play the
game to follow the new movie, it
will provide some additional
depth since it explains some of
the changes that have been
made to the cinematic series.
Unlike many previous X-Men
games, which featured large
numbers of playable characters,
X-Men: TOMG focuses on just
three mutant heroes: Wolverine,
Nightcrawler and Iceman. While
some fans might be disappointed
that their personal favourite
didnt make the cut, having three
unique characters with fully
realized powers should make a
stronger game than a dozen that
are underused and too similar.
Assisted occasionally by other
X-Men, the three main characters
will be featured in levels and
environments that were created
specifically to show off their
powers, with everyones

favourite violent misanthrope,
Wolverine (who comes complete
with a rage gauge that
powers up during intense
melees), getting a little more
screen time than his comrades.
Icemans primary mode of
transportation is a path of ice
that he shoots in front of him,
setting him up for what the
developers call combat
snowboarding. Hell be able to
move very quickly and with a
great deal of agility.
Finally, theres Nightcrawler,
whose levels blend light combat
with platforming and stealth
elements and, most importantly,
the ability to teleport. The blue
guy can bamph from one spot
to another while simultaneously
moving and attacking. He even
sticks to walls, allowing him to
reach higher places and move
through platform-like levels.
you receive, and the more witnesses who

spot you, the more notorious you become,
making you easier to catch next time.
TIMESHIFT PC, XBOX, X360
You are Colonel Michael Swift in this sci-fi

first-person shooter, recruited by the U.S.
government to test a new time-control
device. Returning to the present after a
brief visit to the 1900s, Swift finds himself
in a far different world than the one he left
behind. Now an enemy of the totalitarian
state he must battle his way out of this new
world and restore history to its rightful path.
Along with plenty of shooting action, the
big twist is that you possess the technology
to slow down, freeze or reverse time. But
rather than a straight pause and rewind,
manipulating time affects everything
in the environment except you, so you can
dodge bullets and change position in
mid-firefight to surprise the enemy.
OVER G FIGHTERS X360
A few years from now, global peace and

security is protected by a united world air
force, but that peace is threatened by a
powerful terrorist organization and its up

to you to command more than 30 modern
jets through intense dogfights over Europe,
Asia, Africa and North America.
Because they can be so specialized and,
well, hard, flight simulations generally
appeal to a niche market, but Over G hopes
to break out of that by offering two versions
of play: a traditional simulation and an
arcade mode. Fearless aviators can look
forward to 80 single-player missions
presented with near photorealistic visuals
and Dolby 5.1 surround sound, plus
multiplayer adversarial and co-op modes
via Xbox Live.
I wanted my daughter to go to university and become a lawyer.

Instead she took an apprenticeship and became a tradesperson.
Today, she runs her own business.
Now she has a lawyer and an accountant working for her.

DVD SPOTLIGHT
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN DIRECTORS CUT (MAY 23, $47)
King of the directors cut Ridley Scott does

Orlando Bloom
some revisionist editing on his latest,
Kingdom of Heaven.
Having already tinkered with Blade
Runner, Gladiator and Alien, Scott decided
what Kingdom of Heaven needed was an
extra 45 minutes of character development
and back-story. In other words, if you
thought the theatrical version (which came
out on DVD last October) was somewhat
disjointed and soulless, you should connect
better with this new one.
The story follows young English
blacksmith Balian (Orlando Bloom), who
discovers that the noble knight Godfrey of
Ibelin (Liam Neeson) is his father and that
its his destiny to make the trek to Jerusalem
and protect the shaky peace that prevails
between the second and third Crusades.
The new cut comes on four yes, four
discs. Two of those are the movie and
accompanying commentary tracks (everyone from Scott to the visual effects supervisor and
assistant director have their says), the other two are jam-packed with documentaries and
featurettes covering all stages of development and production.

October 23
Taurus
May 22
April 21
Youre a creative and original thinker

and will start a trend this month. Any
doubts about a friends loyalty are put to
rest by the 13th. If your present financial
goals are realistic, you should achieve them
ahead of schedule. Set aside time to review
a family situation.
June 21
Play up your strengths and understand

your weaknesses, and youll see significant
improvement in a relationship. Its an
excellent month to pursue completely
new interests and upgrade surroundings.
Youll win an award by the 30th.
AND ALL THE TIME

YOU NEED TO
UNRAVEL THEM.
Looking for pulse-pounding intrigue?
Catch your breath and rent
End Game. With no late fees,
BLOCKBUSTER lets you watch
at your own pace. Ready or not,
End Game begins May 16th.
July 22
You tend to be too delicate in your

approach. If you want to land a job or
are ready to express your feelings, avoid
the subtle and emphasize the obvious.
Watch out for someone stirring up trouble
around the 20th. Eccentric types gravitate
to you in late May.
Leo
July 23
August 22
The month opens with a series of

mysterious events and ends with an
exciting opportunity. Along the way you
learn to admire someone youve known
only from a distance. One caution: Watch
out for an extravagant streak that surfaces
around the 19th.
Virgo

September 22
Take a less scientific and more instinctive

approach to work and youll surpass
even your own high expectations. Dont
get caught up in popularity contests or
petty disputes. Concentrate on meaningful
relationships, and spend more time with
upbeat people.
Libra
September 23
Sagittarius
October 22
Nit-picky relatives and whiny friends

stretch diplomatic Libras patience to the
limit. Its high time to tell someone off.
December 22
Theres a greater load on your shoulders

during the first half of the month, but help
arrives by the 17th. A new sport or exercise
program leads to an extended period of
greater energy. The last week is an excellent
time for long-term financial planning.
Capricorn
December 23
Cancer
June 22
November 21
A young relative has a surprisingly

positive influence on your life. Toward the
middle of the month, someone may try to
steal one of your ideas. Be on high alert.
Friends wear out their welcome around
the 22nd. You hear some good financial
news toward the 30th.
November 22
Gemini
May 23
Scorpio
January 20
Its easy to find fault with a new friend, but

first impressions can be very misleading now.
Relatives are less stubborn over a financial
matter. A different strategy gives you the
edge in a competitive situation. News you
hear around the 27th can shock even you.
Aquarius
January 21
February 19
Stay informed of developments happening

close to home. Information you pick up
this month will prove useful in June or July.
Someone whose views you once challenged
now stands up for yours. The end of the month
will be an unusually productive time for you.
Pisces
February 20
March 20
Avoid being overly modest and be sure to

promote your strengths. Make the first
move in a personal or professional
relationship. People are interested in your
ideas, even the off-the-wall ones. The last
two weekends see you hosting parties.
Expect a crasher or two.
Aries
March 21
April 20
Youre feeling comfortable about a

family-related situation. Friends, on
the other hand, are more fickle than the
weather. Dont ignore property matters,
especially in the latter part of the month.
Expect to attract admirers around the
new moon of the 27th.

WHY THEYRE
NOT PERFECT
BY SUSAN GRANGER
CAMERON DIAZ My nose has been

broken three times and I have a serious
pimple problem.
CATHERINE ZETA-JONES I have a

piggy nose and puffy eyes.
JULIA ROBERTS From the time I was in

high school, Ive felt my lips were too big and
awkward. And my grin is just plain goofy. It
looks like I have a hanger in my mouth.
MEG RYAN Ive always thought I was kind
of weird looking. Ive wanted a smaller nose.
CELINE DION Blemishes have
always plagued me. I have lots of skin
problems. People have suggested that
I change my chin with plastic surgery,
but I am a singer and it might change
the way I sound. And when I see my family,
theres that chin, and it makes me proud.
Id hate to change that.
KIRSTEN DUNST My nose can look too
button-y and my cheekbones are not chiseled
enough. My dentist suggested burning my
gums to make my teeth look bigger and
reshaping my prominent canines.
MINNIE DRIVER My jaw. I would just
UMA THURMAN
make my jaw narrower.
I remember, in kindergarten, a
classmate told me that he didnt
like my nose. Ever since then Ive
worried about it which is so
surface, so idiotic. But, honestly, I
see waitresses every day who are
much more attractive than me.
SELMA BLAIR People always think Im

blue because of the way my face is. My eyes
and mouth turn down, and people translate
that into, Wow, Selmas really sad.

MICHELLE PFEIFFER I look like a

duck. Its the way my mouth curls up. I
should have played Howard the Duck.
