Sicko is Michael Moore’s best and most assured film to date.
He’s getting better at creating and editing his diatribes which makes them far more palpable and entertaining.

The hit musical Mamma Mia! which has made a boisterous return to the Jubilee Auditorium exists solely to showcase 20 vintage songs of the 70s pop sensation ABBA.
The concept is a winner because the songs ooze nostalgia and, at the same time, are so upbeat and infectious they can charm the socks off a whole new generation.

God works in mysterious, and in the case of Evan Almighty, often hilarious ways.
Evan Almighty is the sequel to Jim Carrey’s 2003 hit comedy Bruce Almighty that grossed almost $250 million US in North America alone.
If you haven’t caught Kevin Costner’s creepy thriller Mr. Brooks seek it out before it disappears.
Costner is truly menacing as a man addicted to murder.
The heist film The Aura from Argentina is a mindbender as a man becomes part of a casino robbery only to discover he may not live long enough to share the jackpot.
The Aura was the last film of Esteban Espinoza the young filmmaker who made The Nine Queens.
He died of a heart attack not long after completing The Aura.
Out on DVD this week is Renee Zellweger’s Miss Potter, the story of the Edwardian writer who created the Beatrix Potter books that are still thrilling children around the world.
It’s a beautiful touching love story with outstanding performances from Zellweger and Ewan McGregor who plays the publisher who believed in her books and taught her the meaning of love.
Disney is releasing Bridge to Terabithia, a beautiful story about young friendships and the secret worlds children create to escape the harsh realities of the school yard.
This is an outstanding film and one families should purchase not just rent.
The ABBA musical Mamma Mia! winds up its Calgary run at the Jubilee this week.
It’s a big brassy, nostalgic, funny musical about a girl who wants to know the identity of her father.
It’s a flimsy storyline used to weave together 20 vintage ABBA songs.
Audiences love Mamma Mia! which is turning into a Rocky Horror Show phenomenon where people come dressed in boas and sing along to their favourite ABBA tunes.
