NOT QUITE SHERLOCK: THE TUNNEL OF TERROR Chris Gibbs 2 MTYP Mainstage (Venue 21), to Sunday 🐟🐟🐟 ½ The Tunnel of Terror, the bottom half of Torontonian (by way of England) Chris Gibbs’ Not Quite Sherlock double bill at this year’s fringe runs 75 minutes, as usual. (His opening performance Monday ran five minutes overtime.) The Tunnel of Terror is suspiciously close in plot to last year’s outing, The Case of the Mysterious Mystery. It too involves a missing man, a distraught wife, and a fiendish act of Victorian-era terrorism. Certainly, the relationship remains the same between gullible twit Barnaby […]

Movie Review: In ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ the superhero movie finally accepts itself for what it is

Krysta Fauria, The Associated Press 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 6:07 PM CDT

If one thing is certain about “Deadpool,” it’s that its titular hero, for reasons never explained, understands his place in the world — well, in our world. Indeed, the irreverent and raunchy mutant is sure to belabor his awareness of the context in which he lives — namely an over-saturated, increasingly labyrinthine multibillion-dollar Marvel multiverse which spans decades, studios and too many films for most viewers to count. From its inception, the “Deadpool” franchise has prided itself a subversive, self-aware anti-superhero superhero movie, making fun of everything from comic books to Hollywood to its biggest champion, co-writer and star, Ryan […]

On the trail of a filmmaking Manitoba naturalist

Ben Waldman 7 minute read Yesterday at 9:08 PM CDT

George Cotter didn’t shoot to kill. He shot to preserve.

Born in 1915 in Cumberland House, Sask., Cotter revered the natural world. He was driven to school by a team of sled dogs, as a teen he worked the trapline, and after moving to Winnipeg in 1933, he thirsted for the twitter of the whiskeyjack and the first sip of ice water from a winter stream.

In 1950, as the Red River Valley flooded, Cotter climbed onto his St. Vital roof, watching the drama flow past his viewfinder. More than 100,000 residents were evacuated, over $1 billion in damage was caused and the career of one of the province’s foremost naturalist documentarians was launched.

From the time George and Sally Cotter started Cotter Wildlife Productions in the late 1950s to George Cotter’s death at 96 in 2011, the longtime president of the Manitoba Naturalists Society filmed dozens of shorts with topics ranging from the great grey owl to cattails to the sealskin footwear of the Inuit.

A revamp of the long-running Big Stupid Improv Show, this production from Stephen Sim features a rotating cast of well-known Winnipeg improvisers working with and competing against one another to create a compelling made-up narrative.

Sparks fly, Nevada judge sets deadline in bail bid for man charged in Tupac Shakur killing

Ken Ritter, The Associated Press 6 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 7:23 PM CDT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Sparks flew in court Tuesday as a Nevada judge rebuked a defense attorney and an ailing former Los Angeles-area gang leader lashed out against prosecutors during his renewed effort to be freed from jail to house arrest ahead of his trial in the 1996 killing of hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur.

Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny, who last month rejected Duane “Keffe D” Davis' bid to have a hip-hop music figure put up $112,500 to obtain Davis' $750,000 bail bond, issued a terse written order hours later giving Davis' lawyer, Carl Arnold, one week to provide more documentation about the source of the money.

The judge said she wanted “to lay to rest the court’s concern" that music executive Cash “Wack 100” Jones was "acting as a front or middleman for some other entity or person.”

In court, Kierny accused Arnold of shaping media attention about the case involving one of hip-hop music's most enduring mysteries.

TORONTO – Spanish filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo’s sci-fi romance “Daniela Forever” will open the competitive Platform program at the Toronto International Film Festival, with Toronto-based director Atom Egoyan leading the jury. The film stars “Crazy Rich Asians” actor Henry Golding as a grieving man who participates in a clinical trial for a drug that lets him reunite with his lost lover, played by Beatrice Grannò of HBO/Crave’s “The White Lotus.” It vies for the $20,000 prize against Canadian comedy “Paying For It,” helmed by actress, broadcaster and artist Sook Yin-Lee, and eight other films from around the world.

1 FAMILY FRIENDLY COMEDY SHOW, PLEASE!

Happy Capybara ProductionsManitoba Sports Hall of Fame (Venue 24), to Sunday

Clearly more comfortable performing to a crowd of well-lubricated adults, the comedian rotation on the Saturday afternoon shift came across as ill-prepared for the mostly younger audience.

Host Andy Noble kicked things off before Calgary’s Dale Ward came on strong, only to flounder with an ill-advised impersonation of someone deaf speaking. Mike Green turned things around with a lengthy, albeit humorous, spiel about being spanked with a wooden spoon as a child, before Benji Rothman did a complete 180 with his laconic and indifferent delivery.
