Michael Moore’s much anticipated Sicko hits, and having seen it, we can say it’s not particularly essential for Canadian viewers to watch, unless you want to feel smug about our lovely health care system, or slightly surprised that it only takes an hour or so in London (Ontario) to be seen in an emergency room. Yes, the film is chock-a-block with anecdotal evidence, and it’s probably to the film’s fault that, as usual, Moore......

Maybe they had just added more acts to the bill, someone suggested. Of course, the fact that members......

Some of the best lines in cinema come from mocumentaries, like "Spinal Tap is swimming in a sea of sexual retardation," "Blaine is the stool capital of the world" or "Turn down the suck" (Ok, maybe not the last one). Now we can add "Hump the drum" to that list, thanks to local director Michael Mabbott's contribution to the genre, The Life and Hard Times of Guy Terrifico. It features Ex-Superfriendz front man Matt Murphy......
