EDITOR’S NOTE

Privacy win for drivers ictorians could be seeing a breakthrough in privacy soon, thanks to our favourite provincial Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham, who will be turning her eyes to a matter that has irked residents for seven years DANIELLE now: automated licence plate POPE recognition (ALPR) technology. news@ The commissioner launched mondaymag.com the investigation Monday, July 30, after receiving a submission from three independent researchers who used access-to-information laws to investigate B.C. police ALPR programs, and shared their findings.

“Our focus is looking at the Victoria Police Department’s use of the technology to see whether or not it is compliant with privacy laws in B.C.,” says Cara McGregor, spokesperson for the Office of the B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner.

“While we are focusing on one particular case, the report is meant to give guidance to all police departments in B.C.” ALPR technology allows for the automated collection of photographs of vehicles and licence plates by cameras mounted on police cars, which are then compared to a list of licence plate numbers associated with individuals who are of interest to police.

The program instantly notifies police when there is a match. Since 2005, the RCMP and a growing number of municipal and regional police forces in B.C. (including VicPD) have been using the cruisermounted automated camera systems.

“Tracking the movements of innocent drivers represents a serious threat to Canadian privacy rights — rights which are essential for our freedom of expression and association,” says technical security specialist and digital rights activist Kevin McArthur, one of the three people involved in the submission to the commissioner. “When combined with new federal and provincial laws expanding other types of secret digital surveillance and information gathering, the dangers are all the more heightened. So this review could not be more timely.”

Specifically, Denham’s report will look into the type of information VicPD collects with the technology, how that information is used and how long it is retained. The report is scheduled to be released later this summer.

“This is an incredibly important application that directly contributes to improved road safety,” says VicPD Chief Constable Jamie Graham. “For example, ALPR can help officers stop prohibited drivers, drivers without insurance and recover stolen vehicles.”

VicPD says it has been in full cooperation with the commissioner’s office, and added that it has developed its own policies and procedures to govern the use of this technology, ensuring that it complies with all relevant legislation.

“If VicPD is in compliance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, that

B.C. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham will be investigating exactly how VicPD has been using automated licence plate recognition technology.

will be released. If they are not, the onus will on them to make sure they are,” says McGregor. “We will also be looking at what other guidance can be given on how this type of technology is used.”

The commissioner also announced a second investigation to focus on the public interest disclosure section of the act, which requires public bodies to disclose certain information, such as environmental harms or public risks to health and safety.

A research report from UVic’s Environmental Law Clinic prompted the investigation, by examining the extent to which a number of public bodies are complying with that section of the act.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAYS POLICE Speaking of VicPD, what better time to consider the force than in celebration of the city’s next masspopulace celebration: the sesquicentennial party?

As thousands (or at least hundreds) of expected party-goers parade the streets this Thursday, Aug. 2, VicPD has announced it will take part in the celebrations at Centennial Square by setting up a display illustrating the department’s “deep roots” in the community and how policing has evolved since the department was founded in 1858.

From noon to 6pm, along with all the other festivities, vintage cop cars will be on display, including a 1921 patrol wagon and “Car 40” (a restored 1940 Dodge), along with artifacts from the Victoria Police Historical Society Museum.

Modern wheels, including a VicPD Charger patrol car and a new Victory motorcycle, will also be featured, and are guaranteed not to chase you. M

Discovering our true self t can take a long time time to discover who we truly are, the golden essence that makes up our core and sets our compass. It is this essence, the part of us that we can’t deny, that tells others whether or not we’re worthy of knowing.

Unfortunately, some people never discover their true worth, others have it ripped from them too soon through abuse or neglect, and some choose to bury it deep within booze, drugs, laziness or cowardice.

GRANT I would like to talk to the 20-year-old man who MCKENZIE decided to drive his truck while intoxicated and with an 18-year-old woman in the passenger seat. He knew he editor@ shouldn’t be climbing into that truck and yet he not only mondaymag.com placed his life and that of his passenger’s in danger, but the lives of everyone he drove past.

It’s not a mistake when you drive while under the influence — it’s deliberate and uncaring contempt. You’re a suicide bomber with a bulldozer strapped to your ass with no regard for anyone who steps into your path.

Fortunately, the only thing that jumped into this wreckless driver’s path (who police estimate was driving between 70 and 80 km/h on a corner where the speed limit is 30) was a tree. And this is where this man’s character comes into play.

He hit the tree with such violent force that his teenage passenger was not only pinned in her seat by the wreckage, but was screaming out in pain.

So what does he do?

He runs.

Seriously? A teenage girl is screaming in pain beside you (turns out she suffered a broken pelvis, ankle and femur) because of something you’ve done, and that selfish “come on be a bastard” voice in your head says, “run.”

If it wasn’t for neighbours who, awakened by the 2 a.m. crash, called 911 and rushed to the woman’s aid, who knows how long she could have suffered — or worse. This coward had no way of knowing if his passenger had suffered internal injuries that could have easily resulted in her bleeding to death.

He didn’t care if she lived or died.

He ran and hid until police dogs tracked him down.

This becomes the mark of his character, the stain that he will struggle to wash away. Of course, maybe I’m giving him too much credit. I don’t know him, so maybe his character is already so blackened that another stain just blends. It’s difficult to think of another reason why any man who calls himself such would abandon a woman in such distress.

But maybe he’ll prove me wrong.

Maybe, he’ll stand up, admit his cowardice and guilt, and offer an apology not just to his main victim, but to everyone whose life he put in danger by getting behind the wheel. M

Many more dark secrets to share

RE: “Unlocking dark secrets of Victoria’s 150-year history,” July 26-Aug. 1 Dear Sirs, I was shocked and appalled by this issue of your otherwise fine publication.

First, the cover, featuring a gruesome photo of some hideous human-bird mutant frightened both myself and my cat Groober to the extent that we spent the entire day after first viewing it cowering in a closet.

Second, I feel it is most irresponsible of you to reveal these black episodes from our fair town's past — especially given the tender sensibilities of some residents such as Groober and myself. I have had nightmares horrible beyond description as a result.

However, I must commend you for omitting mention of

some of the most horrid episodes of Victoria's past — such as the satanic boy scout troop, the sale of human body parts by a local butcher, the Beacon Hill Park crucifixions, and the real reason why part of the legislative buildings have been sealed off forever behind a three-foot-thick welded steel door.

STREET SMARTS What is your solution to homelessness in Victoria?

KIERAN REPORT

Enbridge now Clark’s coming-out party wo of Victo r i a ’ s cherished grumpy old men of politics — David Anderson and Bob Plecas — have come out of retirement this week to BRIAN respectively bury and KIERAN resurrect the fortunes bkieran@ of Premier Christy mondaymag.com Clark in the wake of her 15 seconds of money grubbing fame on the national stage.

As the whole country knows, Clark has turned her back on her fellow premiers and refused to participate in a provincially-driven national energy strategy process.

It was all about the proposed Enbridge pipeline from Alberta to Prince Rupert and the premier’s demand for a bigger share of the revenue split.

Lost in the momentary excitement of Clark actually doing something at the Council of the Federation meetings in Halifax — “talking tough” as her spin doctors characterized it — was the fact that money is the least of our concerns back home.

British Columbians, particularly our First Nations, are strongly opposed to this

T

pipeline and its attendant oil tanker traffic. In the context of Enbridge’s deplorable oil spill track record across North America the depth of the money pit is irrelevant.

If anyone in Victoria is entitled to an informed opinion it should be Bob Plecas, an outstanding mandarin and strategist throughout the Social Credit/Liberal era.

In his reflective years Plecas is often heard on local radio dispensing his free enterprise grounded thoughts on the political scene.

In an effort to prop up the premier on her return from Halifax, Plecas rushed into print with a lengthy Vancouver Sun opinion piece declaring that “Christy Clark came of age ... with her announcement on the Enbridge pipeline.”

Gone, he declared, was the “thin and facile” Christy. The smile “has been replaced with tough action. She finally stood up for British Columbia on a very hard issue.”

In the task of helping us believe the premier knows what she’s doing Plecas reframed her embarrassing clandestine visit with Alberta Premier Alison Redford in Edmonton ahead of the premiers’ meeting.

“Clark did the right thing and the honourable thing. She looked Redford in the eye and told her what she was going to announce. Redford did not want to

Issue a place where homeless people can stay.

hear the message. Her office leaked to the press that Clark would be there for a meeting and played petty politics. Redford proved that she does not have the strength of character of a (former premier) Peter Lougheed or Ralph Klein.”

Plecas concluded boldly: “Enbridge is Clark’s coming-out party.”

Did someone say party? Former federal environment minister David Anderson and a power pack of environmentalists, native leaders and stakeholders had a standing room only press conference in Vancouver this week where the retired Victoria MP pressed the theme that B.C.’s environmental integrity is not for sale.

“No amount of money can protect our coast and no amount of money can repair the damage of a spill of heavy Alberta crude oil,” Anderson said. “Given the poor reputation of Enbridge for environmental and worker safety, it is high time for the Enbridge Northern Gateway application to be rejected and the 40-year ban on bulk oil movements on the waters of the West Coast to be reaffirmed.”

The Plecas treatise leaves me with the impression he was well schooled for his role in the campaign to reinvent the premier. But, I suspect the majority of British Columbians will agree that Anderson and the Enbridge opponents are making the most sense on this issue. M

CITY WATCHDOG

Central Saanich in need of reality check hen backed into a corner, any politician with an instinct for self-preservation will tell you that finding a solution to homelessness and extreme poverty is one of their top priorities. Unfortunately when push comes to shove, reality takes over and appeasing the voting public claws its way back to the forefront of politics.

SIMON In municipal politics, the vanguard of the NATTRASS voting public is usually that small but vocal snattrass@ minority bent on reviving the glory days mondaymag.com of the mid-50’s, which means that while politicians may hail housing-first strategies and long-term treatment as the way of the future, political pressure makes damn sure that these dreams never come to fruition.

Central Saanich is currently offering its own proof of this stalemate by cracking down on the unpermitted interim housing program operating at Woodwynn Farms. Pleading victim to the momentum of bureaucracy, Acting Mayor Cathie Ounstead was recently quoted saying “It’s not for us to determine whether it’s a good cause or not a good cause, we just need to regulate all our

W

bylaws in a fair manner for all residents.”

In the midst of a whirlwind of community support from neighbours and others throughout the CRD, every attempt to place Woodwynn Farms on solid ground has been thwarted by regressive politicians. “They’re telling us we need institutional zoning,” explains Executive Director Richard LeBlanc, “but whenever we put in an application we’re turned down.” The province has also turned down the farm’s application to build more housing on its land located within the Agricultural Land Reserve.

“I think it’s important to recognize that there are two levels of objections,” says LeBlanc, “There’s the stated objections, and then the underlying objections.”

Permits have been denied based on all manner of technicalities, but private statements abound from municipal politicians and other opponents condemning the farm and characterizing its guests as dangerous riffraff.

Situations like this one emphasize the amazing capacity of our region’s politicians for saying one thing while doing the opposite.

The attitude of those blocking the development of Woodwynn Farm is characteristic of our political and social stance on homelessness — that it’s a problem to be solved somewhere else by someone else. With any luck, Central Saanich will choose to ignore the vocal minority in favour of a more compassionate reality. M

Hands to fight tar EVENT DRAWS HAND-HOLDERS TO BEACHES

By Danielle Pope news@mondaymag.com

here is something you can do.

That’s the message organizers of Hands Across the (Tar) Sands are holding this week, as hundreds of Victorians prepare to join hands with global neighbours to come together in honour of clean beaches and to protest dirty energy.

“When we held our first event after the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, people told me they were walking around paralyzed and shocked, and with this sense of deep hopelessness,” says organizer Renee Lindstrom. “When they came to the beach, more than 400 people linked hands and there was hope. This is not your typical environmental activist moment — this is about connection.”

That connection is especially timely for British Columbians, as residents across the province stand up against the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project — a project that even former federal environment minister David Anderson has argued is not in Canada’s best interest.

Now, Victorians will have the chance to hold hands again in the third-annual event at Willows Beach on Sat., Aug. 4, at noon. But while Lindstrom has heard from many people who are resistant to the idea of activism, she calls the Hands event “inner activism.”

“My personal perspective is that change happens individually with each person, so that change is going to come when we recognize the value of what’s important to us,” says Lindstrom.

Lindstrom has lived in Victoria for 20 years, but spent her childhood in the Queen Charlotte Islands (now Haida Gwaii) and spent every day on the beach, she says, which developed her “deep love” for the ocean and marine environment.

“I have teenage children and recognized that my childhood would not be available to them, so I felt like I had to do something,” she says.

For the last three years, Lindstrom has partnered with fellow activist Zia Cole to bring Hands Across the Sand to their city, after founder Dave Rauschkolb launched the idea in Florida as a response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The concept quickly caught on world-wide and more than 1,000 events were held in 43 countries.

While the 2011 event focused on the disasters in Japan and debris that was sure to affect coastlines everywhere, Dave Rauschkolb nicknamed the 2012 event “Hands Across the Tar Sands” in support of the struggle Western Canada is facing.

“This really is a wake up call,” Lindstrom says.

Hundreds of Victorians will link hands at Willows Beach this Saturday, to stand for clean shorelines.

“We simply need to recognize that we have a responsibility to acknowledge what’s going on.

This is personal now — the tar sands are coming home and are going to affect our beaches.”

Lindstrom says she has no estimates on how many people to expect at this year’s event, though hand-delivered invitations have gone out to aboriginal communities in the area, and the group is hoping for a turnout of 1,000 people or more.

While the model is 15 minutes of silent handholding (which will start at noon sharp), participants are invited to come out to the base of the Willows Beach teahouse at 11am for an hour of connection festivities, speeches by aboriginal advocate Rose Henry and special guests, along with singing, dancing and more.

“It might not seem like holding hands for 15 minutes is a big thing, but you would be amazed at the power it has,” says Lindstrom. “When we come together, regardless of who we are in the world, that’s when change happens.” M For more information, visit the group’s Facebook page “Hands Across the Sands – Victoria, BC,” or see the global event website at: handsacrossthesand.com.

2011’s inaugural FolkWest - with over forty hours of incredible performances across three stages and brilliant sound by Pacific Audio Works - definitely made the world a better place (especially if you were within earshot). Creating a community of over 300 volunteers, 75 performers, dozens of community organizations and businesses and 4500 attendees is another way music and FolkWest made Victoria a better place. Whether you’re dancing with the grass between your toes, making new friends volunteering in the hospitality tent, creating art with the kids while listening to fiddlers from around the world or watching the sun set over the Main Stage listening to one of the greatest songwriters in the country, there are a thousand ways to enjoy the weekend at FolkWest. World and Dance Music is a bigger part of the program this year and some changes to our site and security will make the 2012 FolkWest experience even better.

• Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary • Greater Victoria Compost Education Center • SunShine Clowns • Tim Gosley/Merlin’s Sun Puppetry • Kerplunks • bubbles, hands-on art activities • free face painting • balls, hoola hoops, Frisbees

Starting an arts festival in this day and age is no simple task and we at FolkWest want to acknowledge everybody who helped out this year. What an amazing outpouring of support – Thank You!

ou have probably heard by now that Minister Rich Coleman announced the Bring Your Own Wine program last month, allowing patrons of legal drinking age the opportunity to bring their own wine to participating restaurants. Sounds like a great idea, right?

Well, that rather depends on who you talk to.

On July 19, the Minister issued a statement which said in part: â&#x20AC;&#x153;By allowing people to bring their own bottle of wine into their favourite dining establishment, we've provided restaurant owners with a great opportunity to create a new type of dining experience that will further promote our wonderful restaurants here in British Columbia.â&#x20AC;? The B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association (BCRFA) quickly agreed, with President and CEO Ian Tostenson hailing the new program â&#x20AC;&#x153;a common-sense solution that will help the restaurant industry ... that will provide people with the needed flexibility to get people out more.â&#x20AC;?

Y

Of course, what they forgot to add is that not everyone will benefit. I sat in a Victoria restaurant this week and watched a man arrive, wine bottle in hand. His friends werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there, so he took a seat at the bar and was visibly shocked when the bartender declined to open his wine for him. Really? Would you take your own beer to a bar? I listened to a couple discuss how much they will save thanks to the new legislation. They were middle aged and well dressed, but saving money must be an issue for them since they brought their own coffees into the restaurant. They complained to their stunned server about the existing range of proposed corkage fees they had discovered online, saying they should be standardized and regulated. Indeed, current online corkage fees across the province range from $2 to $60, the highest being Whistlersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bearfoot Bistro. Is that outrageous? I say no.

Tostenson claims â&#x20AC;&#x153;More business will result in positive economic impacts such as increased employment and downstream benefits to suppliers of the induscontinued next page

Collective movement inspires art GALLERIES COME TOGETHER FOR INTEGRATE ARTS FESTIVAL

By Mary Ellen Green arts@mondaymag.com

Her art is inspired by murmuration, the collective movement of the Common Starling, and combines ink and water techniques with hand drawn animated stills.

Some drumskins are mounted on vintage bass and snare drums, which will be lit up like light boxes as a focal point for the installation.

Van Drimmelenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s band The Backhomes will be performing at the opening, which is scheduled

’30s glitz and glam ZARYEVKA BALLET ORIGINAL hat do ballet and Benny Goodman have in common? They’re both featured in emerging local dance company ZarYevka Ballet’s upcoming production Thief! On 42nd Street, playing Aug. 3-5 at the Metro Theatre.

Inspired by the glitz and glam of ‘30s detective novels, Thief! is the first full length ballet written by producer and dancer Capri Aspe, founder of ZarYevka. At just 27 years old, and with less than 10 years dancing experience, Aspe is an ambitious young dancer who isn’t afraid to dream big.

“It’s has everything you’d expect when you think of the ‘30s,” says Aspe. “Swing dancing, dime-store P.I. novels, glamour, red lipstick and sequence on everything.”

Aspe wrote and choreographed the family friendly story, which follows private investigator Sid Saltovsky as he searches for an opera diva’s stolen wig in New York City.

With a cast of 13 dancers, including two guests from Red Hot Swing, Thief! promises to be glamorous and gritty dance extravaganza.

Friday and Saturday at 7pm. Saturday and Sunday at 2pm.

Strange beauty in the bayou ART FILM BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD IS ONE-OF-A-KIND

I

n a summer where the movie screens are dominated by costumed super heroes and crass comics, Beasts of the Southern Wild stands out like a unicorn at a hotdog stand.

A one-of-a-kind art film by a New York collective known as Court 13, Beasts is a funky fable about a six-year-old black girl named Hushpuppy, who lives in a couple of ramshackle shacks with her alcoholic father in a muddy corner of the Louisiana bayou. Part of a small community of impoverished drop outs who exist â&#x20AC;&#x153;off the gridâ&#x20AC;? and in the shadow of an industrial park, Hushpuppy inhabits a grubby but darkly magical world where giant creatures named Aurochs occasionally come charging through, for all the world like mastodonsized boars.

Hushpuppyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Wink, is slovenly and sometimes abusive, but is also determined to see that his motherless daughter grows up to be self-reliant. After barely surviving what is presumably Hurricane Katrina, this small group has a brief run-in with Social Services busybodies before resuming their harsh, hand-to-mouth lives. Hushpuppy has her own adventures, including swimming out to a floating brothel for a poignant encounter with a black prostitute who could be her mother.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot of plot here: Beasts is more of an immersive tone poem than a narratively conventional film. At times allegorical, it often feels like a live-action version of Where the Wild Things Are, full of dream-like strangeness butted up against the grimy reality of human existence at its most basic. Filmed with non-actors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it occasionally shows â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the film has a purity that transcends any technical limitations. Although probably too weird for casual moviegoers, this is a very impressive film debut. M

PERFECTLY POTABLE Although the characters in Beasts were likely drinking Louisiana moonshine, most people are familiar with those neoncoloured frozen daiquiris they sell in the French Quarter of New Orleans. For a non-synthetic version, pour 1.5 ounces of light rum, 1 tbsp of Triple Sec, 1.5 ounces of fresh lime juice, 1 tsp of sugar, and a half-cup of fruit such as mango, banana or strawberry into a blender with lots of ice.

Rev it up and let the good times roll!

It’s also a good kid again with playful times time to shop for wardrobe with children. Because old goodies because you like what flames are back on the scene, you see in the mirror.

In some kind of chaotic activity. fact, real-estate oppor(It’s important for you to have tunities or chances a warm feeling in your tummy to find a pretabout your cozy nest.) tier home will exist.

TAURUS APRIL 20-MAY 20 Everything about home, family and your private world is back to normal (as if one’s life is ever normal). Earnings continue to look good for the coming year. (Money is so handy when you want to buy things.) And you have lots of energy to work and get better organized. The next few weeks are particularly good for schmoozing with siblings and neighbours, writing, teaching, selling and marketing because your words are golden! You can make money from your communications, and you will write or communicate with exquisite grace and ease.

(Yeah, yeah, this might be an exaggeration but you sound that way because you have such a gorgeous voice.)

GEMINI MAY 21-JUNE 20 Your luck continues, so fear not because this good fortune will continue for a year. (Come to Momma — baby needs a new pair of shoes!) This week you’re busy with short trips, conversations with siblings and neighbours plus running around doing errands

LEO JULY 23-AUG 22 “Is everybody happy?” It’s your turn to shine, dear Leo. And because Mercury retrograde is technically over this week, your life will settle down considerably. Secret love affairs are a strong possibility in the month ahead for many. (Who takes their love life more seriously than Leo? I ask you.) You are also unusually direct and forceful in all your communications with others.

(It’s Mars.)

That means this is an unusually powerful time for those of you who sell, market, teach, act, write or need to persuade anyone about anything. Yes, you’re hot! This is why everyone wants to see you right now. (Be mindful of the possibility of a change of residence or change of jobs in the next year or so.)

VIRGO AUG 23-SEPT 22 It’s your birthday in a month.

That’s why the next few weeks are the perfect time to look back over your shoulder and see how well you’re doing at the art of living. How do you want your next year to be different? It’s appropriate to play it low-key and work alone

or behind the scenes right now but one influence will definitely counter this.

As Venus changes signs this week, it will encourage mucho schmoozing and perhaps even romance (especially where a platonic friendship becomes romantic) for the rest of the month. Quite likely, you’ll be hanging out with artistic friends or meeting creative people this month.

You’ll also be spending more money. (There’s no time like the pleasant!)

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) This continues to be a wonderfully popular time for you! Others admire you now (including bosses, parents and authority figures) because Venus, high in your chart, makes you look charming and capable. In fact, your appeal is so strong, you might strike up a romance with someone older, richer or in a position of authority. You’re revved up because Mars is in your sign, which is wonderful for sports, sales, teaching and anything where you have to be assertive and aggressive.

(Mars rules your ego, your sex drive and your muscles.)

Travel plans continue to beckon. Ditto for exciting opportunities in medicine, the law, publishing and the media.

Whee!

SCORPIO OCT 23-NOV 21 The Sun is still at high noon in your chart, which puts you in the limelight.

(This is why everyone notices you, especially bosses, parents and VIPs.) It’s important to know that this light is flattering! Therefore, accept increased responsibilities and requests that come your way because you will shine. Travel for pleasure and romance with someone from another background or a different country is very likely this month.

Meanwhile, in another hotel, some of you are having secret love affairs. (Scorpios are into recreational sex.)

Continue to work at settling disputes about insurance matters, inheritances and shared property because things look great for you this year!

SAGITTARIUS NOV 22-DEC 21 You so want to get outta Dodge! All Sagittarians are craving adventure and new experiences. Some of you are keen to learn more and so you are wrapped up in course work or studies. Others are exploring opportunities in publishing and the media.

But without question, you want to travel! Since Mercury retrograde technically ends this week, you’ll feel a sense of “getting ahead” with future plans. This will feel like a relief because you hate to be stalled about

moving forward. Tension with a friend or members of a group might arise because of competition or just plain old conflict. Be your sweet self.

Meanwhile, romance with someone who is “different” could blossom.

CAPRICORN DEC 22-JAN 19 You don’t feel casual about anything right now. Oh no.

Everything matters! For starters, this is an intense month, which is why you feel passionately about everything, especially your love life. And when it comes to work, you’ll be so ambitious! You’re determined to make a name for yourself.

Fortunately, partnerships and close friendships will be unusually warm and friendly this month. (Nice.)

In fact, your relationships will be so successful this is the perfect time to mend broken fences.

And if you have to tear one down, before you do so, find out why it was put up in the first place. (Haste makes waste.)

AQUARIUS JAN 20-FEB 18 It’s all about partnerships and close friendships. In fact, it’s almost as if you are defining who you are, either by seeing yourself reflected in the eyes of others or by your relationship with them. The notion of travel appeals because you want to spread your wings!

You want to see new places, talk to new faces and learn new things. Work-related issues are surprisingly smooth.

It’s easy to get along with co-workers; in fact, some of you might develop a new friend or even a romance that is work-related.

This year continues to bless you in terms of activities with children, vacations, fun, social occasions, the arts and anything to do with sports. You rule!

PISCES FEB 19-MARCH 20 You’ve been working your butt off. But hey, it feels great to accomplish things, doesn’t it? Yes, retrograde Mercury has dogged your steps but you can relax. In fact, you can really relax because fair Venus is now in the part of your chart that promotes fun vacations, entertaining outings, social occasions, romance, love affairs, sports events and playful times with kids. (Yay me!)

Meanwhile, while all this is going on, your sex drive is super-amped. (You can see why Pisces people are tripping the light fantastic, skipping along doing little pirouettes!)

You will defend your best interests now if disputes arise about shared property, inheritances and the like. Despite all this fun stuff, you’re more than a pretty face.

FILM & EVENTS CALENDAR OPENING TOTAL RECALL -(SilverCity/ Westshore, Capitol) Colin Farrell stars in a flashy remake of the sci-fi thriller about a man who ostensibly takes a fantasy "brain trip" only to get caught up in real life-and-death adventures. Ah, but what is really real? Starts Fri. DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: DOG DAYS -(SilverCity/Westshore/Uni 4, Capitol) Greg is totally ready for summer when suddenly his plans all fall apart. What's the poor guy gonna do now? Starts Fri.

CONTINUING +++½ THE AMAZING SPIDER–MAN -(Capitol/SilverCity) Little-known actor Andrew Garfield suits up as everyone's favourite webslinger in a super hero movie that's smart enough to be a great coming-of-age story. Co-starring Emma Stone. +++ THE AVENGERS -(Caprice) A mob of Marvel-ous superheroes comes together to help prevent a global apocalypse, in a decent but uninspired orgy of one-liners and special effects. The galaxy of greatness includes Iron Man (Robert Downey), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and Captain America (Chris Evans). ++++ BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD -(Odeon) Nothing but raves have greeted this unusual and touching drama, which uses moments of magic realism to portray the inner life of a young girl who is part of a small community of poor Louisiana folk who live entirely "off the grid." See review. +++½ THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL -(Uni 4) A diverse group of British seniors seek out an affordable retirement hotel in India, only to find it in shabby disarray. But despite the initial disappointment, India's exotic charms win them over. This heartfelt comedy-drama has a great cast that includes Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson and Judi Dench. +++ BRAVE -(Capitol/SilverCity) Billy Connolly and Emma Thompson provide the voices for Pixar's animated tale that is set in ancient Scotland and tells of a headstrong young princess who must rely on her courage to undo a beastly curse. Decent entertainment, albeit occasionally a bit plodding. +++ THE DARK KNIGHT RISES -(Capitol/SilverCity/Uni 4/Westshore) A diabolical terrorist named Bane poses a terrible threat to Gotham, as Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy comes to an exciting but rather bloated conclusion. With Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Anne Hathaway. +++ ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT -(Odeon/Westshore) After their continent is set adrift, Manny, Diego, and Sid have some crazy, rollicking, humour-filled adventures.

This is very fine family entertainment. +++ INTOUCHABLES -(Odeon) This funny and heart-warming French film features a wealthy aristocrat, a quadriplegic after a hang-gliding accident, who gets more than he bargained for when he hires a rough-edged black man from the projects to be his care aid. Based on a true story. +++ MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE'S MOST WANTED -(Capitol/Caprice) Those mouthy NYC zoo escapees are up to their usual colourful antics in a wittily entertaining animation romp. +++ MAGIC MIKE -(Capitol/ Caprice) Channing Tatum stars as a male stripper who takes a protegé under his wing, then eventually has to rethink his lifestyle. Directed by Steven Soderbergh.

MEN IN BLACK III -(Caprice) Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones reprise their roles as alien-bashing crime fighters in a third outing for this wacky sci-fi comedy series. And thanks to a time travel aspect, Josh Brolin has fun playing the younger version of Jones' character. +++½ MOONRISE KINGDOM -(Odeon) The ever-quirky Wes Anderson (Rushmore, The Fantastic Mr. Fox) is in fine form as he tells a tale about two very young lovers who run away, thus sparking an unusual search. The great cast includes Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Edward Norton, and Frances McDormand.

++ STEP UP: REVOLUTION -(Capitol/SilverCity/Westshore) The series about hip hop dancers shifts to Miami, and has lots of fun choreographing flash mobs of radical dancers who are trying to defeat a rich developer who wants to trash their neighbourhood. ++½ TED -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Caprice) Mark Wahlberg stars in a twisted — and sometimes laboured — comedy about a young man whose best friend is a foul-mouthed teddy bear that is a very bad influence on him. Written and directed by Seth MacFarlane, most famous for the TV satires Family Guy and American Dad! +++½ TO ROME WITH LOVE -(Odeon/Uni 4) Woody Allen's winning streak with glamorous European cities continues with his latest comedy, which takes a sly look at adultery, fame, and self-delusion.

The great cast includes Penelope Cruz, Ellen Page, Judy Davis, Jesse Eisenberg and Alec Baldwin. + THE WATCH -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Westshore) In this alleged comedy a quartet of guys forms a suburban watch group after a strange murder, only to find themselves defending Earth from an alien invasion. Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, and Jonah Hill won't want to be remembered for this desperately unfunny turd.
