Vue Weekly. Monkeys, sharks and turtles.

For a Vue Weekly cover story, Josef Braun talks with Reginald Harkema, Don McKellar and Nadia Litz "about their own radical histories, off-screen alliances and the murkier emotional subtexts that burrow under the cagey façade of Monkey Warfare."

Brian Gibson on The Rules of the Game: "Perhaps the best reason to watch is to watch again - from De Chesnaye (Marcel Dalio), the cavalier hypocrite-king of the master-class, to Christine (Nora Gregor), that apple-eating temptress whom courtiers blame even as they pursue, there's too much to take in at one sitting with this satirical feast."

So today's World Water Day. Seriously. And there's a film program to mark it in Edmonton, too. Carolyn Nikodym has details. Also, the "stunning and horrifying" documentary Sharkwater.

"I'm sure many of my cohorts will agree that while our elders had Transformers, we had Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." Omar Mouallem on TMNT: "My only complaint is that their hands are too big. I know it's probably proportionate to real turtles, but they have hands bigger than their faces and that's weird. Other than that, I can't imagine this franchise delivered in a better way." Also, Dead Silence, or rather, not: "Go see Fido, who, despite being a zombie, has a lot more brains."

Jonathan Busch whispers through Premonition.
