Men With Brooms
Just saw the movie the other day. Man it was funny. You might have to be a Canadian to understand it..or maybe Scotish...Being mostly based on Curling. But you don't really have to know anything about the sport to like the movie. My wife laughed the whole time, and she has never seen a curling game in her life. Anyways, it's a funny movie, with a good soundtrack. Anybody else seen it?

the kind you keep for a really long time

I remember seeing the preview for this. I'll have to check it out when I get back to the States. Maybe because I'm Scottish, or maybe because I haven't seen it often enough to get bored of it, I like curling.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Yah, I liked it alot. Maybe because I'm also Canadian, but the cast is great. Paul Gross is so under rated. Have any of you seen the mini-series 'Slings & Arrows'? Fantastic stuff. Apparently there is a part 2 coming out soon to TMN... weeee!

I'm Canadian, but I avoided this movie. When I saw the trailers for it in the theatres, I winced. It looked to me like another excruciatingly mundane kind of Canadian movie. I know there exists great Canadian cinema with higher aspirations than curling jokes, and those are the films I look for.
I have a vision of Canada, and it does not include Men With Brooms!
(Yeah, a Canadian in-joke, heh.)

Cube, yah that was good. I laughed when i saw it, because almost half the budget of this relatively low-budget movie was blown on the opening FX shot
great shot, but nothing else like was seen anywhere else in the movie. Ah, but it didn't need it. It wasn't that kind of sci-fi movie...
(Oh, I just thought of a new thread topic...)

Paul Gross?? *swoons*
I loved him in Due South, and he put out some good songs, too, but since he's Canadian, he's pretty much off the radar down here.
