...first month of the DVD release of Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, which had earned an astounding $119 million at the domestic box office. (He has made three of the five top-grossing docs of all time. It's Moore, Gore and the penguins.) So to get out the youth vote for Democratic standard bearer John Kerry, and maybe move a few units of Fahrenheit 9/11, Moore went on the Slacker Uprising Tour, visiting 62 cities, mostly college campuses, in 45 days. His rollicking new movie, shot and edited by Bernardo Loyola, is the hagiographic record of that tour...
...clearly in charge, was so formative to Maddin that he's often recreated it in his films. Here, he decides "to vivisect his own childhood" by renting the old homestead for a month, casting actors as his three siblings and shooting scenes he remembers or imagines from his youth. Savage continues to impersonate his mother; his girlfriend's dog appears as Guy's long-dead pet chihuahua; and since, just before shooting starts, the woman who rented the place to Maddin decides she doesn't want to leave, she becomes an amusingly extraneous figure of the family portrait...

On the women’s side, the Crimson was paced by a pair of freshmen who placed ninth and 10th in the overall field. Thea Lee finished in 19:45 and Eliza Ives crossed...
...change and have a proven record of stopping reforms in their tracks - just ask Jacques Chirac, who in 1995 saw his modest plans for reforming the welfare state rejected by hundreds of thousands of angry protesters; or Dominique de Villepin, whose even more modest efforts to tweak the French youth labor market some 10 years later were similarly rejected. Even when the French do not bring down governments with their feet, they bring them down with their ballots - in every parliamentary election since 1978 and before 2007, the French voted out whichever party they had voted in the previous time...
...this were Manchester in the '80s or Seattle in the '90s. "I was locked in a cellar but it became my shelter," sang frontman Charbel Haber on "See You in Beirut Whatever Happens," one of the band's original songs that convincingly channels the post-punk era of Sonic Youth and the Cure, but which seems somehow appropriate in the current Beirut setting: a subterranean nightclub called Basement, which coined its slogan "It's Safer Underground" during last summer's Israeli air raids...
