Reviewing Movies

I suppose I'm not being a loyal Canadian when I observe that the camera
makes Joshua Jackson, all 6-2 of him, look jowly and dowdy in a
motorcycle helmet. I realize the movie wasn't about trying to make Pacey
look hunky or sexy but the camera did him no favours. He tends more
toward double chin than jutting jawline and high cheekbones. He's an
everyman hero.

Has anyone ever sat through an entire director's commentary? I'd like to
hear about the location of some of those over-sized monuments but I'm
not prepared to listen to him drone on for 90 minutes to find out. In my
travels I've seen more than a few of them. A pity the film editor
couldn't have used a map to make sure they appeared in geographical
order. The country is big enough without having the traveler drive 300
miles out of his way to stop at a motel in another province he's already
passed.

I was dozing when the Mighty Ducks won the Stanley Cup. I drove by Terry
Fox just a few miles before he ended his run in Thunderbay. I turned off
the highway to visit Ouimet Canyon and followed a Harley Davidson
Goldwing along the dirt woods road that then led to the site. I camped
that night in Port Arthur and it rained on my tent.
