This weekend we have superheroes everywhere you look.

At the movies is The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and on DVD, it’s Ghost Rider.

Nicolas Cage plays Johnny Blaze the corpse who won’t stay dead.

He sold his soul to Mephistopheles and can only sort of get it back if he defeats Blackheart (Wes Bentley).

There are some neat special effects but Cage tries too hard to bring angst, anger and confusion to Johnny’s soul instead of just some good old fashioned fire.

The Fantastic Four, Knocked Up and Oceans 13 will dominate the box-office this weekend pushing poor little Surf’s Up even further down the ladder.

If the kids haven’t caught it yet, make the effort because it won’t be around after Disney’s new animated feature Ratatouille hits the screens.

Actually there are sneak previews of Ratatouille this Saturday for those who just can’t wait for these latest animated antics.

With rain promised for most of the weekend in Alberta, it might be a good time to check out three very entertaining dinner theatre productions.

Out in Canmore is Oh Canada Eh? a hilarious vaudeville history lesson.

Out at Rosebud is the Neil Simon comedy The Good Doctor and in Calgary are the final 10 performances of Stage West’s The Canadian Explosion a tribute to 50 years of Canada’s top music talents.
