Fearless -- not the next
Oscar winner

reviewed by Trent Ernst

The last flickering images died
away, the house lights came up and I
turned to Peter, who was sitting with
me and said “Well that-was my dose of
trumped up Hollywood spirituality for
the week.”

Dop-t get me wrong. Fearless
is not a bad movie. It is not a good
movie either. Perhaps the best way to
describe it is ‘empty.’ Oh, it was a
pretty movie. The visuals were
stunning, the images beautiful. I sat
through the first half an hour oohing
and ahhing. Then I realized that nothing
really had happened as far as plot. The

images tried to disguise the fact that
there was no substance.

Perhaps the core to its failure
to mean anything was that it tried too

hard. The story centers around a man
who survives a devastating plane crash,
and looses his fears because of it. He

has passed through death, and survived.
Because his wife cannot understand
what has happened to him, as she is still
a part of the world that is living, he
turns to another survivor of the crash
for companionship, and to preach his
new-found religion at her. What's her
face does a good job as a women who
blames herself for her child’s death in
the crash.

There is not much to say about
this movie. It has no substance. Its like
a wax apple. Its nice to look at, and it
looks substantial, but don’t bother try-
ing to bite into it, because there’s noth-
ing inside.

 

Transit hours are unfair to
public needs -: let's make
some changes!!

 

 

 

 

 

Attention readers:

The Lower Mainland has almost
3 million residents. Our cities have
active night lives and most of our bars
and nightclubs are open until 2 am.
B.C. Transit, however, ignores these
facts and sees fit to shut the Skytrain
down an hour before any of our bars
are even closed.

What are we, the people who
pay for the “convenience ” of the
skytrain supposed to do?

Well, we could either take late
bus, stay downtown until morning, or,
heaven forbid, take the chance and
drive our cars! Taking a late bus means

that if you live in Burnaby it takes two
hours and various transfers to get home
and if you live in Surrey you might as
well sleep on the nearest bench because
you ain't gettin’ home at all!

And it isn't only the night owls
among us that are inconvenienced by
the skytrain hours of operation!
Thousands of people on the Lower
Mainland have jobs that are either late
night shifts or early morning shifts.
These people have to take buses hours
too early for work in order to be there
on time because the Skytrain doesn't
begin to run early enough for them.

” This is ridiculous! B.C. Transit
needs to know that the Skytrain is not
accessible for the taxpayers! They need
to know how we feel and that they
need to get into the same schedule as
the rest of the world around them!

If you feel that the Skytrain
should. cater more to us real people
then fill out the petition/ballot form
below and bring it down to THE
OTHER PRESS, Room 1020. We will make
sure that it is sent off to B.C. Transit! So, fill
it out and let them know how you feel!

 

 

| want skytrain to start one hour earlier and to
end one hour later every day.
