One of the first luminaries in the industry I was fortunate to meet was Sidney Poitier. He had had a notable fight for his success. He was black, when black actors were not popular and he had very little formal education on his island in the Bahamas. I asked him how he managed to survive the vicissitudes of our industry.

This story you are about to read has more truth to its twists, than you may want to believe, and let me add to that, the main character, George W.G., would have said: there was a time that every American could be proud of the construction of the Panama Canal, if for anything beyond that, since America has given that away, such pride must ferment in the knowledge and information, by which the original object and purpose was attained. This story, "The Man on the Locks," is rather simple and to the point. But first for those folks that are not all that familiar with the Panama Canal, I must give you a quick overview, and quick it will be.

This film has already been made before, but wasn't greatly received. The question is, can Eric Brevig turn the Jules Verne Sci-Fi novel into a great film that the famous novel from which the story originates from deserves?

Jet Li's Fearless is an entertaining kung fu story but is 2-dimensional and melodramatic. It's great to see him do his thing effortlessly but the story doesn't match his prowess which is a shame because the film has the potential to be so much more than what it is.

Season 2 of The Pick Up Artist approaches and the pick up community awaits with baited breath, or does it? After the excruciatingly staged first series of the program where Mystery PUA and two exceptionally strange looking individuals calling themselves Matador and J Dog schooled eight hapless AFCs on how to deliver canned openers to a series of uninterested girls, The Pick Up Artist is back. As I recall the series ended with two suspiciously good looking finalists, the lucky winner of the prestigious title of 'Master Pick Up Artist' being Kosmo.

The recent Batman tale elicits such a reaction it is so philosophically rich thanks to the character of the joker. The recent Batman movie is something that as never been done before.

Well I think that the Magic community has been receiving big ups from the people and crowd. More and more are relating to the idea and there are even some who wants to take the magician path. I think that with its popularity hitting the big stages, from the David Copperfield era to the David Blaine's, it's evolution have really showed some skin in the mainstream. Well to start this one up I think that the awareness of people about it have hit a good amount of interest and with that let me give you some knowledge which I. myself learned by just reading through and asking people who have a knowledge on the course as well. For some magic is an art, it is something that people would like to get involve into and something that they think that would get them the fun and satisfaction like any hobby can.

This is Mike Nichol's take on the highly acclaimed theatrical tour de force Closer, which is a very blunt and uncompromising reflection of modern day relationships. Great, another chick flick, I'll put this on the ever increasing 'rubbish' DVD pile that is accumulating at a rapid rate in the corner of my living room. Or maybe not....

"Brokeback Mountain" gained notoriety upon its release for being a 'gay cowboy film'. With a label like that it would be easy to draw conclusions about the nature of the film and in so many ways this label is complete unfair. In fact, the 'gay' aspect to the story is not the point; this is a film about an impossible relationship, and the wider relationships it affects.

Hollywood - in the tradition of classic mythopoeia - tends to use bereaved parents and spouses in pivotal roles. They are often examples of those who've been through life's worst extremes, and play lunatics, killers, shamans, and heroes.
