	February 11, 2009 Grants may lift Canadian novels from page to screen Three films based on classic and contemporary Canadian novels may be headed for Canadian movie screens, among them an adaptation of De Niro's Game, the Giller and IMPAC-winning novel about war-torn Lebanon from Rawi Hage. The others are a film based on Mordecai Richler's rollicking 1968 Cocksure and one of The Flying Troutmans, drawn from Winnipeg novelist's Miriam Toews' latest book, about a bizarre road trip from Winnipeg to California.
	January 9, 2009 A body well-worn, a soul that still rocks by Guy Dixon Iggy Pop is looking at a life change. As he ambled through the dark film set, over clustered power cables, he is obviously no longer the jagged, angular performer he once was.

	December 18, 2008 First set report on SUCK; 1st photo *UPDATED* “Chicks dig me,” sneers Beef (Moby), the shaven-headed self-proclaimed “biggest rock star in Buffalo” as he pushes aside Hugo (Chris Ratz), the spindly roadie for down-and-out rock band The Winners. Marching to his doom down a filthy corridor leading to the dimly lit motel room where the cold white embrace of Jennifer (Jessica Paré), The Winners’ incandescently beautiful bass player, awaits him, Beef will find that while chicks may dig him, this one will love him to death.

	November 29, 2008 Suck Brings Vampires To Rock Music Vampire movies are all the rage right now thanks to that teenage-angst filled sensation Twilight. If I had a dollar for every story we’d run in the past few weeks about vampires … well, I’d make a lot more money off of online writing than I do. But vampire stories haven’t always been the realm of teenage depression, and they won’t always be. In fact, Suck is about ready to reclaim the genre … for rock and roll?
