 It's
fun to have fun
The Cat in the Hat
Stars Mike Myers, Dakota Fanning, Kelly Preston, Alec Baldwin
and Sean Hayes.
Rated G.
Reviewer
:: Lt Simone Heyer
"I
know some good tricks," said the Cat in the Hat, "I
will teach them to you and your mother will not mind at all
if I do."
Disappointingly,
that line isn't even in the movie based on the said cat. In
fact, the movie deviates from the book quite significantly.
Dying
to be happy
The Barbarian Invasions
Stars Remy Girard, Stephane Rousseau, Mary-Josee Croze, Dorothee
Berryman. Rated MA.
Reviewer

Money
gets you everything, but can it bring happiness? That's the
theme of The Barbarian Invasions, in which Remy (Girard) is
dying of cancer. He's in a hospital room with others waiting
to die.
