New limits demystify drinking hen it comes to how much spirit is too much for one person to imbibe, the jury has long been out. But thanks to a new study headed by UVic, Canada may be getting closer to its first naDANIELLE tional consensus on what conPOPE stitutes low-risk drinking. news@ The study, which was pubmondaymag.com lished in the international academic journal Drug and Alcohol Review, introduces 18 research articles and commentaries from contributors around the world. UVic’s Dr. Tim Stockwell, director of the Centre for Addictions Research of B.C., compiled the articles and says that although we are getting closer to articulating what is safe and healthy alcohol consumption, we are still a long way from truly knowing how much is okay and how much is a danger to your health.

“The recommendations for pregnant women, young people and the differences between men and women still vary widely and there is a lot of different research out there that creates confusion,” says Stockwell. “The problem is the differences across jurisdictions, not just around the world but even within countries, on what is considered safe alcohol consumption.”

To breakdown some of that confusion, however, Stockwell joined forces with UVic graduate student Kara D. Thompson and UVic psychology professor Dr. Stuart MacDonald to survey 540 young people between the ages of 16 and 25 (54.4 per cent female) on their consumption levels to discover more about what constitutes “low-risk” drinking among young people. The study concluded that more specific guidelines are needed to address amounts and frequency.

To help with those new national guidelines, “Canada’s Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines,” developed by Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, suggests drinking no more than 10 drinks a week for women (with no more than two drinks a day most days) and 15 drinks a week for men (with no more than three drinks a day most days). In these cases, a drink constitutes one 12-oz. bottle of 5 per cent beer, cider or cooler, a 5-oz. glass of 12 per cent wine, or a 1.5-oz. serving of 40 per cent distilled spirits. The guidelines also suggest that people plan non-drinking days every week to avoid developing a habit, and drink no more than three drinks (for women) and four drinks (for men) on any single occasion.

Other tips include drinking slowly, drinking one non-alcoholic drink for every drink of alcohol, eating before and while you are drinking and the usual avoiding heavy machinery and such. No surprise that the guidelines also recommend that no one starts or increases drinking for health benefits.

This map marks the most costly area in Victoria to feed animals — a new city bylaw will smack up to a $350 fine on anyone who feeds wildlife in the downtown core.

FEED THE ANIMALS: FOR A PRICE For those who love strolling downtown, gently tossing a scrap of donut to a seagull or crust of sandwich to a crow, it may be best to take your relaxing lunch break activities elsewhere now, or it’ll cost you — up to $350.

Victoria City Council passed a motion last week that now prohibits the feeding of wildlife within the downtown core. While the initial proposal, pushed forward by the Governance and Priorities Committee, asked for a restriction throughout city limits, council asked the group to redraft the bylaw amendment.

“Mammals such as deer and raccoons can become habitual when fed, potentially causing both a public safety risk and destruction of the habituated animal,” wrote committee member Shannon Craig, policy analyst of Corporate Planning and Policy, in the recommendations to council. “Feeding of the other listed animals will likely result in the causation of a nuisance.”

The bylaw was adopted unanimously on its third reading at the council meeting on Thursday, March 22, and notes that “a person must not intentionally feed or leave food out for the purposes of feeding” deer or raccoons (unless they’d like a $350 wrist slap), or for squirrels, rabbits, pigeons, crows or seagulls — which will cost a $125 fine.

Luckily, for those who like sharing, Beacon Hill Park and Pioneer Square missed the boundary line, which stretches from the Bay Street Bridge to the legislature, and from Cook Street to James Bay’s Laurel Point Park.

THE JOKE’S ON YOU, MONEYBAGS If you’re looking for a good joke this April Fool’s Day, pop into the 15th Annual Corporate Golden Piggy Awards, set for April 1, 2 p.m. at St. Ann’s Academy Auditorium (835 Humboldt). The awards poke fun at how Victoria’s rich and powerful have been entertaining activists on South Vancouver Island since 1997. Stay tuned for the winners. M

EDITOR’S NOTE

Time for Clark to inhale remier Christy Clark is missing a valuable trick by ignoring the resurgence in calls for the legalization of marijuana.

Victoria City Council is the latest to add its voice to the notion that the war on drugs has failed and that many B.C. municipalities are increasingly affected by the harms of cannabis prohibition.

Our city’s plea joins that of four former B.C. attorney generals, four former Vancouver mayors, and several GRANT other districts around the Island, such as Mechosin, MCKENZIE who are now speaking out for a change to laws that make very little sense to anyone. editor@ Despite its good intentions, however, all city council mondaymag.com can do is draft a letter to the federal government and encourage other forward-thinking municipalities to do the same. And no offense to the office of our fashionable mayor (yes, I love the socks), but I can guess just where Harper and Co. will file such requests.

However, if Premier Clark was to take up the cause and become the first provincial leader to admit that legalizing marijuana (and repealing marijuana convictions) would be beneficial to our government coffers, our police force, our courts and our penal system, she may suddenly see her party’s approval rating heading back in the right direction.

The premier’s job is to stand up for this province and its population even if that stance flies in the face of the prime minister’s heavy-handed agenda.

Clark has the power to move this call for action out of the recycling bin and onto the prime minister’s desk.

Voters respond to strength, and if the majority of British Columbians want to see these archaic laws changed isn’t it about time that our province’s leader lines up beside us and demands that Ottawa opens its ears?

And by stepping up to the plate now — even knowing that Harper will attempt to brush it aside — Clark can ensure that other parties are listening so that when a new federal leader comes into power in the near future, change just might have a chance. M

SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD “Every now and again, you need to attach a pair of battery clamps to your soul and turn up the juice; get that electricity flowing from the soles of your feet to the very tips of every hair follicle on your head.” That’s how I begin my online review (http://bit.ly/GMeHzX) of Shane Koyczan’s show at Spark Fest last week, so you can probably tell I was impressed. If you missed the show and are now kicking yourself (and rightly so), you’ll be happy to hear that his new album, Remembrance Year, with his band The Short Story Long is nearly as impressive as seeing him live. Honest, pure and inspirational.

WEEKLY REPORT CARD SUBJECT

GRADE

MEANDERING PERFORMANCES, HO! Great news this week that the City of Victoria has officially given Buskers Fest head John Vickers the go-ahead for shutting down Government Street for the June fest. Now, where is that unicycle?

YUP, VICTORIA NEEDS SOME OF THAT Groundbreaking move by the province last week for nailing a Surrey landlord with the first-ever administrative penalty of $115,000 after he failed to make required upgrades, then failed to pay his initial $5,000 fine.

BUTTER KNIFE BANDIT LOSES AGAIN Someone should have told the crook who attempted to steal multiple cars in Victoria last week with a butter knife (and was snagged by cops) that a hairpin might have been more effective. Or maybe a piece of toast.

STREET SMARTS What is a responsible number of drinks per week?

KIERAN REPORT

Defection timed to inflict most damage lmost everyone in the B.C. legislature knew that Liberal backbencher John van Dongen might jump ship and join BRIAN the Conservatives.

KIERAN He hinted at that a bkieran@ year ago when Chrismondaymag.com ty Clark became his new boss and made it clear he would sit on the caucus bleachers until his teeth fell out.

However, no one fully appreciated how malicious his departure would be and how precisely it would be timed to inflict maximum damage on the party he has called home since he was first elected in Abbotsford South in 1995. No one expected him to hurl mud at his premier with mean words that challenged Clark’s “integrity,” “honesty” and “ethics.”

As a political contributor to the noble cause of public service, van Dongen has been barely mediocre. In fact, he was a train wreck waiting to happen. That wreck occurred in 2009 when he left cabinet after his driver’s licence was suspended because he had too many

A

speeding tickets. He was solicitor general at the time ... B.C.’s “top cop.” Very bad optics.

Clearly, van Dongen’s fall from grace and his permanent assignment to caucus purgatory has been eating at him like a cancer. His recourse was devastating.

He pulled the pin on his Liberals in their most vulnerable hour, during the run up to the April 19 byelections in Port Moody-Coquitlam and Chilliwack-Hope.

These by-elections are necessary because the incumbent Liberal MLAs — former cabinet ministers Iain Black and Barry Penner — decided it was time to embark on private sector careers rather than remain at Premier Clark’s side with the May 2013 general election approaching.

It is my assessment that the Liberals are going to lose both seats. The loss of Port Moody-Coquitlam will be bitter because the Liberals really wanted popular four-term Port Moody mayor Joe Trasolini to be their standard bearer.

Trasolini, no fool, spurned Clark and jumped on the NDP bandwagon.

I think it is safe to assume that van Dongen’s defection could have a significant impact on the Chilliwack-Hope vote. Until now, several pundits have predicted that the NDP’s candidate Gwen O’Mahony — a health-care advocate —

Well, maybe five drinks per week? I’m not really a big drinker though.

has a good chance of splitting the vote and winning the seat.

However, van Dongen, regardless of his handicaps, is a Fraser Valley fixture with deep farming roots and his new profile as the Conservative’s first MLA could help convince disaffected valley Liberals to follow his example.

The Conservatives are already well positioned with a strong candidate. John Martin is an outspoken criminologist who has entertained Fraser Valley readers with a long running column in the Chilliwack Times.

I believe a win by Martin is possible if there is a van Dongen slipstream effect.

If that happens, it will be catastrophic for the Liberals. For the first time since 1978 — when lawyer Vic Stephens won an Oak Bay byelection — the Conservatives will have managed to establish a twopronged legislative toe hold.

With less than a year to go before general election campaigning begins in earnest, I’m sure the Liberals would prefer to lose to the NDP in Chilliwack-Hope.

At least that loss would reinforce Clark’s dire warnings about vote splitting.

But my gut tells me many of the 53 per cent of valley voters who loyally backed Penner in 2009 will be more willing to drift into the Tory camp now that van Dongen has pointed the way. M

Renters feel squeeze of unaffordability uss Godfrey used to get calls only in extreme cases. Slumlords standing by as their buildings collapsed around helpless tenants, landlords invading tenant’s privacy, deadbeats skipping out on months worth of rent — that sort of thing. Now he gets calls from seniors, from middle-class working families, from new arrivals — all with the same complaint.

“What I hear day after day is ‘I can’t SIMON afford my rent increase’ or ‘I can’t find anyNATTRASS where affordable to live here.’” snattrass@ During his time with the Tenant Resource mondaymag.com & Advisory Centre — a non-profit that provides tenants with information on their rights and obligations, and lobbies for renters’ rights — Godfrey has been a witness to the ongoing disappearance of affordable rental housing in the capital and throughout B.C., and with it a growing sense of desperation on the part of renters.

While TRAC deals with complaints about everything from

R

leaky roofs to rising rents, Godfrey says most of these problems would be solved if tenants had a choice. The problem is quite simply a lack of affordable rentals, and while the solution is obvious, government at every level continues to avoid the issue.

“We’ve just got a perfect storm here of problems and the solution isn’t even on the horizon, and that’s disheartening.”

Most of all we need to get over our perception of renters as a nuisance to be ignored or avoided, and homeowners and policy makers need to wake up to the impact of this growing problem on society as a whole. With around 70 per cent of Victoria residents living in rented space, no one can afford to continue writing these people off as lesser members of the community.

The city of gardens is fast becoming a retirement community for the wealthy. The people struggling with housing are no longer those clinging to the bottom rungs of society; they’re public servants, ambulance drivers, Monday columnists and at least one Victoria city councillor. The cost of rent in this city has swelled the ranks of the working poor to include the vast majority of people living in this city, and it’s up to everyone to demand a change.

OFF THE FRONT > FEATURE “It’s competitive, but no one is out to hurt anyone.

Just because it’s flag doesn’t mean it’s sissy.”

Weekend Warriors the female version very weekend more than 100 women converge on Goudy Field — not to watch their children play soccer or partners play rugby, but to get rough and tumble in their own game of football.

“Football? Really?” laughs Caitlin Dunahee, a 21-year-old quarterback who’s been playing in the Victoria Women’s Football league for five years.

Dunahee says that’s the most common response when she tells friends that she plays with the old pigskin. “It’s not tackle, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not aggressive.”

The VWFL just kicked off its 2012 spring season with eight teams MARY ELLEN GREEN averaging more than 10 players, arts@mondaymag.com each fighting for supremacy in seven-a-side play. Each game has four 20-minute quarters. On some teams, the same players play both offence and defence, while others have a double roster where players stick to one specific position.

The league follows the Canadian Touch Football rule book but modifies play with competitors wearing two flags attached to a belt at their waists.

Opponents must grab at least one flag to stop the ball carrier from advancing.

“It’s competitive, but no one is out to hurt anyone,” says Dunahee. “Just because it’s flag doesn’t mean it’s sissy.”

E

‘I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITHOUT FOOTBALL’ Dunahee’s mother Crystal, 50, agrees. “It’s noncontact. I guess the word football scares people away, but it’s just a lot of fun,” she says. “It’s fairly safe, too. There’s the odd ankle or finger injury — if you’re a hand model, I wouldn’t bother — but it’s just so much better now that we play on a turf field. It’s level, there aren’t any hills that you’re not expecting and we can play in the rain because it doesn’t get muddy.”

The league moved play to Goudy Field in Langford’s City Centre Park three years ago after almost 30 years of playing on old school fields around town.

“We had to take care of the fields and do all the maintenance on them,” says VMFL vice-president Cindy Hatt. “The league has definitely become more legitimate since we moved to Goudy. We have fewer injuries, we can play under the lights and regardless of the weather we know what the field conditions will be.”

Crystal has been playing football since 1983. She joined the league just as it was gaining momentum and even started her own team, the Hellcats, which had a 15-year run. Now Crystal is a receiver on the Swarm, a team made up of league veterans.

“We’re basically the old ladies,” says Crystal. The Swarm’s players range from 21 to 52. “We’re a very seasoned team that goes out just to have fun. If we get a touchdown, that’s a bonus.”

Other teams are a little more competitive.

“I grew up with football,” says Caitlin, an engineering student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University on the mainland who comes home to Victoria to play football on weekends when she’s not tied down with school work. “I was always at the field watching, so joining just felt natural.”

Caitlin was just an infant on March 24, 1991 when her four-year-old brother, Michael, went missing from the old Blanshard Elementary school grounds while her mother played a game of football.

As soon as Caitlin reached the minimum required age of 16 she got her parents to sign a waiver allowing her to play. She spent her first few seasons playing with her mother’s team before starting her own, much younger team — the Barracudas, whose players range from 19 to 30.

“A lot of people think they can’t do it,” says Caitlin. “But I’ve brought out a lot of friends and they’re often surprised at what they can do. Plus the league is really supportive. You’ll often see players from one team giving advice and tips to the players they’re competing against.”

When new players join, they can decide what kind of team they’d like to play with as some are more competitive than others.

“Lots of ladies play soccer, hockey and rugby, so why not football?” says Crystal. “I just enjoy the activity. This is my time to go exert myself. I don’t know what I would do without football.”

THE FOOTBALL WIDOWER “When I tell people that I play football, they think I’m nuts,” says Hatt. “I recruit everywhere. My kids are always like ‘God, mom, please stop!’”

“People say that it’s too rough, or they’re scared because they’ve never played a competitive sport before, but I think this is a great place to start if you

have no experience.”

The league offers clinics periodically throughout the year and teams often practice at least one time each week, with play happening Friday night or Saturday and Sunday afternoons, depending on field availability.

“For me, this is my outlet. With all the stress and crappy stuff I deal with during the week, taking care of the kids and running our family business, I need some time to myself to blow off some steam. My husband and kids know this is mommy’s time. My husband even calls himself a football widower,” Hatt says with a laugh.

“There are a lot of little ones running around, lots of kids on the sidelines,” says Hatt. “I think it’s great that the children get to see their moms

being active and stay moving no matter how old or busy they get. I hope that one day my daughter will want to play, too.”

Hatt says league members come from all walks of life; some are teachers, some are small business owners, there are even some players from the police force and luckily, a massage therapist.

“We do find that a lot of the players were very active or athletic when they were younger and want to stay in shape,” says Hatt.

The VWFL has two seasons each year, the fall season runs from early September to late October and the spring season runs from early March until the end of June. The league holds playoffs and a banquet for each season and some parties in between. M

Victoria Women’s Football League wants you Join the VWFL Sunday, April 8 at 10 a.m. at the Esquimalt Curling Rink for the 21st annual Michael Dunahee Keep the Hope Alive Drive. This 5K family fun run/walk through scenic Esquimalt helps raise awareness about Michael’s disappearance and personal safety for kids.

“We use this event to keep raising awareness of personal safety, especially now with the internet — it’s so important to have rules and have kids understand why those rules are in place,” says Crystal Dunahee.

Pick up a race registration form at Frontrunners (1200 Vancouver), Esquimalt Recreation Centre (527 Fraser) or The Donair Shop (1243 Esquimalt) or print off the form

at: victoriawomensfootball.com/news/michael-dunaheekeep-hope-alive. There’s also a dance being held at the Esquimalt Curling Arena Friday, April 6 (9 p.m., $10) featuring That ’70s Band. Tickets are available at the door.

On Saturday, April 14, at 9 p.m., the VWFL is having a football-themed league fundraising party at The Castle Video Bar (1900 Douglas). Cover is by donation (minimum $10) and people are encouraged to wear their best football-related outfit.

New players are accepted throughout the year and the league is always looking for coaches, referees and linespeople to volunteer. To find out more, visit victoriawomensfootball.com.

POT: Current approach is not very effective Continued from Page 8 government still moved forward,” says Savoie. “So we know this is going to take a lot of ground work and a lot of effort, but the more efforts like this we see, the harder it is going to be for the prime minister to maintain support for his regressive drug policies.”

Savoie says that while she’ll happily pass on all letters and messages to the government from her local constituents, it is going to take a lot more than that to make the PM change his mind. Still, she hopes to see motions like this grow across the country and as it does, she says, it will begin to have more clout.

But while Victoria’s motion won’t change drug policy, it can have a role in how the local police force prioritizes its policing. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall says that although the province considers this to be a federal issue, the practicalities of how laws are carried out are largely up to the local levels.

“There are instances, of course, where police will set cannabis regulation and control as the lowest-level priority, where they turn a blind eye to smoke-ins and where an amount of discretion is used in the pursuit of that patrolling,” Kendall says.

Kendall could not comment on whether or not the province supports a similar regulatory approach to cannabis use, adding again that this is a federal issue. And, despite Monday’s attempts to contact both the premiere’s office and the minister of health, all offices stated that the issue was federal and would not be commented on at the provincial level. However, Kendall agrees that change is needed.

“I think it’s clear that the current approach is not very effective. When cannabis and any drugs are in the hands of organized crime, it’s totally unregulated and there is nothing safe about that,” he says. “If you recognize that cannabis is not without its harms, then by regulation and taxation you have a better chance of keeping it out of the hands of people you don’t want to have it.” M

MONDAY GUIDE > FILM

A whopper of a fish tale EWAN MCGREGOR HOOKS A BEAUTY IN THE YEMEN

By Robert Moyes arts@mondayamg.com

ishing tales are supposed to be tall, and Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is a whopper. Based on the novel by Paul Torday, Salmon is both a satire of governmental machinations and a gentle romantic comedy. The (admittedly improbable) premise involves a consultant named Harriet (lithe and lovely Emily Blunt of Young Victoria fame) who works for an English company hoping to facilitate the dream of a Yemeni sheikh who loves British-style fly fishing and will spend however many millions it takes to create a viable salmon stream in the middle of his desert-rich country.

Harriet, a blithe charmer, goes angling for a fisheries expert in the back eddies of the appropriate government bureaucracy and ends up with Dr. Alfred Jones (Ewan McGregor), a fish-loving fusspot and borderline sufferer of Asperger Syndrome who dismisses her request for assistance with withering disdain.

Enter the prime minister’s press secretary (Kristin Scott Thomas), a vicious, skilful, and wonderfully sarcastic practitioner of the bureaucratic black arts. The PM desperately needs a positive Anglo-Arab photo op and this loony project just might be it. So, quicker than you can say “you’re going to Yemen or you’re fired,” the good doctor heads off with Harriet to the tiny desert realm at the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula.

F

Hurdles are met and overcome (including an assassination attempt on the sheikh and the notso-minor requirement for 10,000 mature salmon to pump into the water). But the biggest hurdle of all is facilitating the budding romance between Harriet and Alfred, not least because Harriet is grieving the loss of her lover, a Special Forces soldier who is MIA in Afghanistan. And Alfred presents his own challenges: aside from being stiff and nerdy, Alfred is also married, albeit under increasingly dubious circumstances.

Veteran director Lasse Hallström (Chocolat) is up to the challenge of juggling this and all other subplots, but his job is made easier by the excellent performances of the principals — especially Thomas, who has a criminal amount of fun, whether she is bossing around governmental minions or out-swearing her ghastly teenage son.

Salmon has a few ragged edges, and the character of the luminously wise Sheikh Muhammed seems terribly dated. Overall, though, the film’s satiric japes and whimsical romantic spirit are an attractive respite from the harsh vulgarity that is too often what passes for cinematic comedy these days. M

SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN ★★ ★ Directed by Lasse Hallström Starring Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt PG-13 - 107 minutes Continues at the Odeon

PERFECTLY POTABLE With a noble Scot in the lead role and close-ups of Scottish salmon throughout the film, it’s time to reach for a very special single malt. Laphroaig is one of the most distinctive of the Islay malts — which is to say, it reeks of peat smoke and iodine and is a brutal beauty of the love-it-or-hate-it variety. The classic Laphroaig was delisted in B.C. several years ago, and replaced by the tony and pricy “quarter cask” bottling (that never won me over). The 10-year-old original is now back on the shelves, and even though the price has jumped from $55 to $83, it’s still worth the investment.

FILM & CINEMA CALENDAR OPENING WRATH OF THE TITANS -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Westshore/Uni 4) Wrath of the classics scholars will be more like it, as Hollywood delivers a novel tale about how half-mortal Perseus braves the underworld to rescue his father (a.k.a. Zeus). Meanwhile, his mean half-brothers Ares and Hades unleash the brutal Titans upon the world. This fantasy epic stars Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, and Rosamund Pike. Starts Fri. MIRROR MIRROR -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Westshore/Uni 4) Here's a promising retelling of the Snow White fairy tale starring Julia Roberts, Nathan Lane, and Armie Hammer.

Directed by noted visual stylist Tarsem Singh (The Cell). Starts Fri.

CONTINUING ★★ ACT OF VALOR -(SilverCity) Real Navy SEALS enact a fictional tale about elite soldiers going up against narco-terrorists, jihadists, and other threats to our comfy way of life in the west.

BIG MIRACLE -(Caprice) Drew Barrymore stars in a heartfelt movie (based on real events) about a news reporter and a Greenpeace volunteer who work to save a family of grey whales trapped by ice in the Arctic Circle. ★★ DR. SEUSS'S THE LORAX(Odeon/SilverCity/Westshore) This is an over-stuffed, garishly coloured eco-parable that is preachy and only fitfully engaging. Featuring the voices of Danny DeVito, Zac Efron and Taylor Swift.

GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE -(Caprice) Nicholas Cage once again reprises his role as an avenger from beyond the grave, in a third-tier Marvel Comic adaptation that has staggered from bad to worse.

HOP -(Caprice, Sun. only at 10 am) In this fluffy bit of animated fun for the whole family the teenage son of the Easter Bunny heads to Hollywood to join a rock 'n' roll band -- only to encounter some unexpected adventures. ★★½ THE HUNGER GAMES -(Capitol/SilverCity/Uni 4/Westshore) With Twilight fading fast, the latest teen sensation is undoubtedly this fantasy account of a future world where every year 24 young people are selected to fight to the death on live TV. Everyone else seems to love this movie, but other than for the great lead performance by Jennifer Lawrence I found this derivative and a bit on the cheesy side. ★★★ THE IRON LADY -(Caprice) Meryl Streep finally got a date with Oscar for her amazing turn as Margaret Thatcher, in a biopic of England's first female prime minister that explores her polarizing politics and the price she paid for power.

Smoothly directed, although a bit of a standard "greatest hits" kind of biography.

JEFF, WHO LIVES AT HOME -(Odeon) Jason Siegel stars as a stayat-home mega-slacker who finally gets some focus in his life by helping his brother come to terms with his adulterous wife. With Ed Helms. ★★ JOHN CARTER -(Capitol/ SilverCity/Westshore) Although Edgar Rice Burroughs is most famous as the creator of Tarzan he also wrote a series of epic sci-fi adventures about a Civil War vet who magically travels to Mars, there to have astonishing adventures. The resulting movie? Not so great. ★★ PROJECT X -(Capitol) Three high school seniors throw "the party of a lifetime," which inevitably spirals into chaos and debauchery -- and that's before most of the neighbourhood gets destroyed. It's lewd, crude and occasionally funny.

JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND -(Caprice) There's lots of action and adventure in this fantasy tale of a rescue mission to a mysterious island that is home to lots of strange -- and dangerous -- critters. With Dwayne Johnson and Michael Caine. Note: moves here from the Westshore on Friday. ★★½ SAFE HOUSE -(Capitol) Denzel Washington is great playing a rogue CIA agent -- unfortunately, all the violence and jerky, Bourne-style camerawork can't obscure how derivative the plot is. Ryan Reynolds is along for the ride. Note: moves here from the Westshore on Friday. ★★★ SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN -(Odeon) Lasse Hallström (Chocolat) directs Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt in a whimsical tale, part satire and part romantic comedy — about a fisheries expert who becomes a consultant to a sheik who wants to bring the sport of fly fishing to the desert. See review. ★★★½ THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY -(Caprice) This Japanese-influenced animated tale features a family of four-inch-tall people who live secretly amongst normal humans -- until their daughter gets discovered. Although aimed at younger kids, this is a delight for all fans of great animation. ★★★★ A SEPARATION -(Odeon) This Oscar-winning drama from Iran features a marital dispute that widens into deceit, confusion, and tragedy.

Easily one of the best films in recent years. ★ SILENT HOUSE -(Caprice) Elizabeth Olsen, who had a remarkable break-out performance in Marcy Martha May Marlene, screams a lot in this astonishingly tedious horror flick about a house haunted by an evil history. Call this The Blair Ghost Home Renovation Project.

★★★ 21 JUMP STREET -(Capitol/ SilverCity/Uni 4/Westshore) The TV show about undercover cops in high school jumps to the silver screen, getting a spoofy and raunchy makeover in the process. As guilty pleasures go, this one is pretty darned funny. Starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum.

THE VOW -(Caprice) Romantics can keep the spirit of Valentine's alive by watching this sudsy confection about a woman (Rachel McAdams) who wakes up from a coma with no recollection that she's married. Her distraught husband (Channing Tatum) has to make her fall in love with him all over again. ★★ WANDERLUST -(Caprice) Two impoverished yuppies explore the world of a hippie commune in a hitand-miss comedy starring Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston.

LEAVING THURS. ★★½ THIS MEANS WAR -(SilverCity) ★★★★ TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY -(Odeon) ★★★★ PINA -(Odeon) ★★★½ PUSS 'N' BOOTS -(Caprice) ★★ FRIENDS WITH KIDS -(Odeon) ★★★½ THE ARTIST -(Odeon)

THE ROXY ★★ PROJECT X -(7:00) ★★ ACT OF VALOR -(8:45) ★★★★ HUGO -(2:10 matinee, Sat.Sun.) A beguiling tale of a 1930s Paris orphan who lives in the walls of a train station and gets involved with a legendary filmmaker from the earliest days of cinema. The great cast includes Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen and Christopher Lee. JOURNEY 2 -(4:15 matinee, Sat.Sun.) MORE LISTINGS ON PAGE 18 MONDAY MAGAZINE MARCH 29 - APRIL 4, 2012 mondaymag.com

My gawd, I’m going to start using Spellcheck.) This GEMINI MAY 21-JUNE 20 week we face a Full Moon on Friday.

The big thing this week is the Full I think it will be an easy Full Moon.

But something tells me this will be a gentle Full Moon.

CANCER JUNE 21-JULY 22 As Venus moves into Gemini, this The Full Moon on Friday is tricky encourages a smooth Shakespearean because, of course, the Moon is your tongue – one that beguiles and flows ruler. So you can never ignore any with honeyed words. You can handle Full Moon and this is the only Full anything that comes your way with Moon all year that strongly impacts heroic aplomb. No nasty business your home and family. (All very dear for you, not with your true to your heart.) So be smart. Before love. You will rise above anything gets out of hand, be aware of this!

LEO JULY 23-AUG 22 Publishing, the media, medicine, the law, higher education and travel (especially to foreign countries) could come to a head by the end of this week.

Or possibly disputes about politics, religion and racial issues will become increasingly heated. But you know what? You don’t even have to be in this movie. You have a strong urge to get away from it all. You want to “slip the surly bonds of earth and dance the skies on laughter-silvered wings.” (You’re so dramatic.) Just sidestep messy unpleasantness. Fair Venus encourages all kinds of schmoozing with groups, clubs and organizations. People miss you!

Everyone wants to sit at your table.

VIRGO AUG 23-SEPT 22 The Full Moon on Friday could cause financial stress this week.

(Starting Wednesday.) You might feel caught between trying to juggle your earnings and possessions versus issues related to other people’s money and resources. (“They want everything I’ve got!”) You have to sort something out.

Fear not because you will defend yourself superbly. With Mars in your sign (for months now), you do not suffer fools gladly. Many love the diversion of a crush on your boss or someone richer or older. Others will enjoy giving creative input about design, layout, landscaping, furniture arrangement or teaching neophyte baristas how to decorate a latte. (People always love hearts.)

LIBRA SEPT 23-OCT 22 My, my. The only Full Moon all year in your sign takes place on Friday.

Definitely noteworthy, wouldn’t you say? Do be gentle and understanding with partners and close friends. (It’s easy to “lose it” if they seem to be impossible – and they will.) Instead, focus on travel for pleasure. Enjoy beautiful art.

In fact, religious art or art from foreign places will intrigue you. Actually, your attraction to beauty from foreign places could morph into romance with someone from another culture. (Fun way to learn a new language.) Publishing,

the media, medicine, the law and higher education are beautifully favoured now.

Make a move in these areas if you can.

SCORPIO OCT 3-NOV 21 You can use the energy of the Full Moon on Friday (you’ll feel this energy starting on Wednesday) to clear out some cobwebs at work. You might throw down the proverbial gauntlet.

“I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!” This might not be a bad thing, but do think before you act.

Don’t just react. Be in control of what you’re doing, especially if it affects your job, which, in turn, affects your earnings. (Money is handy when you want to buy frills like bread and milk.) Sex, romance plus financial and practical help from others are sweet possibilities this week. Therefore, focus on all the good stuff coming to you. This will help you to deal with difficult people at work.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 22-DEC 21 You have nothing to worry about this week. Yes, we’re all facing the Full Moon at the end of the week and the inevitable buildup to it. In your case, this could impact your relationship to groups and friends. But this is small potatoes. Fair Venus is now directly opposite your sign for the first time since June last year. This beautifully smooths all important relationships and partnerships. It’s a good time to bury the hatchet and mend broken fences.

It’s also good time to form working units or new partnerships. Romantic relationships could become more seriously committed.

Many planetary advantages exist for you. Enjoy your good fortune!

CAPRICORN DEC 22-JAN 19 The only Full Moon all year that occurs at the top of your chart happens this week. One classic interpretation is you could have a standoff with authority figures. Bad day at Black Rock? It doesn’t have to happen but it might.

Never forget who you are. You value respect and prestige. Your good repu-

tation is important to you. Therefore, don’t risk creating a bad impression with anyone in a position of authority if you don’t have to. (Like, duh?) Be patient with parents as well as bosses.

Later, you will be glad you were wise and patient. (Oh yeah.) Relations at work are so cozy, some of you will strike up a new flirtation with a co-worker or customer.

Continue to look for ways to travel, publish and expand your world. Yay!

AQUARIUS JAN 20-FEB 18 Do be careful from Wednesday onwards, because there’s a subtle accident-prone quality building up for you until the Full Moon peaks and then settles down by Sunday. This doesn’t mean accidents have to happen. Not at all.

It means you’re more likely to attract one simply because you are emotionally distracted. The secret, therefore, is to remain calm and patient with everyone and everything around you.

Even though you have this strong desire to enlighten others, you can’t learn much if you’re doing all the talking, can you? Fortunately, fair Venus promises fun flirtations, social outings, artistic, creative expression, pleasurable moments in sports and playful times with children. What’s not to like?

PISCES FEB 19-MARCH 20 A number of financial issues might make your teeth itch this week. In fact, this will intensify until Friday’s Full Moon, then subside by Sunday.

However, this could be an opportunity to put your cards on the table. You might clearly define to yourself and others what your assets and liabilities are. What you have; what you owe.

Get the numbers. Information is power and it really applies to your financial picture. Amazingly, most of us don’t really “know” this stuff. But if you know what your financial picture is, then you know! And just knowing helps you to be in control and ultimately establish the kind of picture you want to see two years from now – or sooner!
