We’re back! QVOGNIOOCOOHGOO We're Back! Rated: G Overall: D Violence: B- Sexual Content: A- Language: A By Rod Gustatson C ‘This is an animated feature where a kind scientist who listens to his “Wish Radio” discovers that what children of the world really want is to meet real dinosaurs. Using his time machine, he goes back a few million years, and selects some ferocious beasts to take to earth at the present time. After giving them “Brain Gain” cereal, he transforms the reptiles into loveable lizards that go about doing good for children and help a little boy and girl become good friends and not miss their parents anymore. But all is not well as the good scientist has a brother, who is bad, bad, bad. He feeds the dinosaurs “Brain Drain” cereal which means they will return to the beasts they are. Now it’s up to the children to save the day. ‘This film is presented (bank rolled) by Steven Spielberg, and has a cast that makes you wonder if you read the credits correctly. John Goodman, Jay Leno, Rhea Perlman, Martin Short, and, if you can believe it, Walter Cronkite and Julia Child all hold a place in this move. With a group like this, I can only think that the casting was done in a stuck elevator at Universal Studios: “Hey, Walt, lookin’ good. By the way, we need a voice in this cartoon. Have you got a minute?” But be sure of one thing, if a move has dinos or ninjas in it, it will always be able to pay the bills. This movies an example of film makers using a trend to make a fast buck. The animation ranks with sloppy Saturday morning fare, and the writing is monotonous, pro- viding the usual cheap scares that film makers think children love. They are selling this film with all sorts of coupons and incen- tives, and they will need it, Don't be surprised is Brain Gain isn't on the supermarket shelf by the end of the year.

This event is Budding actors take’ centre stage Submitted While Vancouver film stu- dios have been quick to recog- nize the natural beauty of the West Kootenay as the perfect location to shoot a number of films, the wealth of local acting talent has remained out of the picture. Now, a local woman is doing something about this by estab- hing the area's first casting agency to help local actors get work locally and elsewhere. Lorraine Duske feels that with her background in film studies, and her connections with the Vancouver film industry, she can promote not only the West Kootenay as a prime location for movie- makers, but the tremendous talent that lives here. To start things. off with a bang, Duske is bringing to Nel- son internationally-recognized director Michael Berry for a three-day television and film acting workshop. Berry has acted in more than 70 British theatre productions and spent two years with the BBC’s tele- vision drama department. The workshop will be taking place in Nelson, April 8-10.
