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.
