Dennis says: Hey, I was once like you and then I put on this leather jacket and became possessed by the mythical Daiglemeister - he's a writer, anarchist and full-time pain in the ass. If only his writing would pay the bills everything would be okay... but he's too busy scribbling his observations of life on toilet paper and waxing his stupid jacket. What a damn slacker! He's wasting my time - don't let him waste yours!! Run, friend. Run!

Future Shock
 2003 and everything seemed the same as it was in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. No flying cars, human-like robot servants or virtual reality sex - yet. Of course, you can't believe everything you see in movies. In Enter The Matrix, Keanu Reeves discovers that in the future, the world has faded and decayed into a disgusting ball of crap where humans are 'grown' inside little pockets of slime by evil robots. Not an overly optimistic view of the fate of our planet - and it can only get worse as seen in the latest release of Matrix 2 
and more of the same in 3, filmed back-to-back. In fact, films, quite far from
being crystal balls, have often failed to see the future. Read the full Article

| SANKAI JUKU 'HIBIKI' -
Dennis goes Arty After an evening of great Japanese cuisine and pots of green tea at 'The Festival of Japan' restaurant, Ottawa, Sankai Juku seemed the perfect dessert.  A one-night only event at the National Arts Centre, showcasing a new Japanese art form, Butoh. 'Hibiki', translated as 'Resonance from Far Away,' was indeed a butoh-ful spectacle to behold. An interpretative dance which is probably best described as a cross between Tae Kwon Do and ballet, I suppose. The all male dancers/performers would move around the bare, minimalistic set (sometimes in silence, often to bizarre sounds like dripping water) with the speed of Keanu Reeves dodging a bullet in 'The Matrix'. This was mostly marvellous, however on occasion it was so tediously slow that you would will a 'real' bullet to make a speedy appearance from stage-right. Nevertheless, just like the grace of the Shaolin monks, this show called for very measured moves - some so measured that they appear more like man-sized statues, frozen in time. Their synchronicity is also enthralling - despite the minute changes, the troupe moves as if one entity controls them, like puppets on a string - masterfully directed by lead performer Ushio Amagatsu. Hibiki contained scenes from the darkly savage (like the actors crowding round a bowl of blood wearing women's corsets) to the beauty of birth (as they unfurl from embryonic states). The tempo made certain sequences a snore-fest, albeit full of intricate detail, although it was always easy to appreciate the extreme discipline of Sankai Juku's dancers; Semimaru, Sho Takeuchi, Akihito Ichihara, Taiyo Tochiaki and Shoji Matsuo. My only strong criticism of the night was the audience's reaction at the end: a standing ovation. Surely the ultimate praise for Hibiki is a slow-motion smile, in keeping with their refreshing less-is-more outlook. DD |

| A Strip Off the Old Block ---------- Strippers? In movies? Well, that sounds like a Friday night in with the beers and the boys. But, hold it just one second - have you ever stopped to think that exotic dancer films may serve a higher purpose? Have you ever paused to consider that these flicks have an important impact on cinema and the way we watch? If you answered 'no' to any of the above questions then fear not - as I've done the worrying for you. Firstly, ignore, if you can, the obvious 'Adult' stripper movies which can be found by those who stand on their tippy-toes to reach up to those hard-to-reach shelves in their local video store. These are not the features that I am talking about. Although, even the classier, mainstream stripper films today tend to "flesh" out a bare plot with bare bodies. Read on . . . . . . . . . . . |
