Suspect in body-parts case fled Canada, police say On Interpol’s Most Wanted list. Victim believed to be missing person cops had been looking for JOE LOFARO
joe.lofaro@metronews.ca
Montreal police say crimescene evidence suggests a man suspected of dismembering a human body and mailing parts of it from Montreal to Ottawa has fled Canada. The countrywide arrest warrant for Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, expanded Thursday after his photo and description appeared on Interpol’s Most Wanted list. Montreal police Cmdr. Ian Lafrenière would not confirm or deny reports that Magnotta may have headed to Europe. “We do have some evidence that we found on the scene and also that person left a note on a website (describ-
ing) how to leave without getting caught,” said Lafrenière. An article on digitaljournal.com titled “How to completely disappear and never be found” is penned by someone of the same name as Magnotta explaining how to leave without a trace using a six-step method. “Cut personal ties with everyone who knows you,” the article reads. It goes on to say, “The most important thing to remember here is to accomplish this slowly: pull out too abruptly and your friends and associates will become immediately suspicious.” Meanwhile, police are trying to yank videos off of the Internet — videos they believe show the suspect committing the murder and other perverse acts to the body. Police are still investigating the video, but Lafrenière said they “have no reason to doubt its authenticity.” Follow Joe Lofaro on Twitter @giuseppelo

Residents of a low-rent Montreal apartment where Luka Rocco Magnotta rented a second-floor bachelor unit squeezed in for a glimpse Wednesday. Among them was Kelly, the woman tasked with tidying it. “I can’t believe I’m cleaning this tomorrow, man,” said the handywoman who has been renovating the building for the last two months. She didn’t give her last name. She pointed to a crumpled heap. It included a pink bed sheet soaked with what appeared to be a huge blood stain. It lay beside a purple, blood-streaked shower curtain. She held each up to give everyone a look and gagged as a rancid stench emanated. “Oh, God, what a smell,” she said. THE CANADIAN PRESS
Watching gory videos no different than staring at car accident: Prof. An online video that may depict the murder and dismemberment of a Montreal man is horrifying, but the written comments below it are just as appalling. One person who commented on the video titled 1 lunatic, 1 ice pick wrote, “it was still pretty top notch, my favorite kill vid to date.” Others exchanged casual critiques of the video’s soundtrack and its apparent lack of blood. Like many people, Carleton University sociology professor Craig McFarlane doesn’t plan on watching the video associated with the mailed-body-parts investigation in Montreal. The media attention the
video has received can arouse curiosity and someone who normally wouldn’t visit a gore site might be tempted to explore it. McFarlane said those people are only engaging in their own natural curiosity to see violence and gore. “This is no different than rubbernecking at a car accident, getting your lawn chair out to watch your neighbour’s house burn down, or standing around stupidly outside the yellow police tape at murder scenes hoping to catch a glimpse of something,” said McFarlane. “The problem for most people is that many of them find out that they do, in fact,
enjoy violence and gore.” The fascination with brutality and gore, he said, is linked to the fact humans evolved with a great deal of violence. “We can’t easily shed this legacy of violence,” said McFarlane, adding that the probability of witnessing violence has dropped considerably over the past few centuries. “It isn’t a coincidence that the neardisappearance of real violence coincides with the appearance of imaginary violence.” The Game of Thrones television series and films like Hostel are on a whole different level than what is viewed — and glorified — on some gore sites.
A poster for violent horror movie Hostel: Part II typifies the fictional depiction of gore. A local sociology professor says people who watch non-fictional gore videos are responding to natural human curiosity. JAE C. HONG/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Based on the comments on the dismemberment video, gore is not for everyone, though. “I’ve been a regular
of this site and this is the first time I was like shocked by what I saw,” wrote one commenter. JOE LOFARO/METRO

Unexpected shuttering of women’s shelter puts community at risk: Staff Nelson House. Closure Quoted comes as Ottawa’s knew they were concerned about finances, but shelters are bursting at “We they haven’t shared the numbers with us.” seams, counsellor says Keri Lewis, women’s counsellor at the Nelson House shelter Graham Lanktree
graham.lanktree@metronews.ca
Staff at a women’s shelter shuttered unexpectedly last Friday say they have no indication when it will reopen and are working to put pressure on the organization’s board to resume services. “The reason they gave us for closing is that it’s a healthand-safety issue,” said Keri Lewis, a women’s counsellor at the Nelson House shelter. Without warning, three board members visited the shelter early last Friday, said Lewis, and told staff that seven
women and six children staying there needed to be transferred to space in any of the city’s four other shelters. Lewis said the organization hasn’t had an executive director for most of the past year and that staff have been placed on paid administrative leave while the board carries out a financial viability study. “We knew they were concerned about finances, but they haven’t shared the numbers with us,” Lewis said. “Our funding has not decreased and they could do a financial viability study with the doors open.” Nelson House’s website says the shelter is closed tem-
porarily. A representative from the organization was not available for comment Thursday morning. “I would hate for a woman to stay in a dangerous situation for lack of space,” said Lewis. According to Statistics Canada, twice as many women as men were beaten by their partners in 2004. And from 1984 to the end of the past decade, first-degree murder charges for men accused of killing their spouses jumped 25 per cent. Follow Graham Lanktree on Twitter @MetroGraham

Gatineau drug bust one of biggest in city’s history
An early-morning drug bust in Gatineau and Cantley netted 28 arrests and is one of the largest in the city’s history, according to Gatineau police spokesperson Const. Pierre Lanthier. GRAHAM LANKTREE/METRO
Gatineau police say they struck a major blow against drug traffickers in one of the biggest narcotics busts in the city’s history. At 4 a.m. Thursday, police arrested 28 people in raids targeting 20 homes in the Outaouais region as part of Operation Avalanche. Among the items seized were a dozen luxury cars including a Lincoln Navigator, Porsche Cayenne and Mercedes C250, as well as weapons and quantities of
various drugs such as speed, cocaine, ecstasy, steroids, crack and others police said they were still analyzing. “They were mostly trafficking in the Outaouais region,” said Gatineau police spokesperson Const. Pierre Lanthier. The raids went smoothly and there was no resistance, he said, thanks to tactical groups from three local police forces and the RCMP. “We arrested a major figure and leading players of
this group,” Lanthier said. Lanthier said police anticipated more arrests related to the bust Friday and that the investigation is ongoing. Police began the investigation in September 2011. Those arrested are not tied to motorcycle or street gangs, but some do have ties to organized crime, he said. “A lot of money and a lot of things were seized,” he said when asked the cash value of confiscated items.
Arrests • Among those arrested
were 20 men and eight women who ranged in age from 22 to 72.
Police continue to sift through evidence and were still processing those arrested Thursday afternoon. Most of the charges in the case relate to drug trafficking. Graham Lanktree/Metro

Soccer plus rugby played in the style of Emerald Isle Gaelic football. Never What sport is it, anyway? heard of it? Believe it do get an awful lot of funny looks, but you or not, it’s been played “We do get a lot of interested people who stop and see in Ottawa since 1975 what’s going on. It’s very unusual, and trying to
explain it to people is a bit difficult. You play on a pitch with goal posts that look like rugby goal posts but you use a ball that’s round like a soccer ball, but you can use your hands like you can in rugby.”

You might mistake it for one of the countless games of soccer played on fields across Ottawa until the first time a player catches the ball with his hands. It’s Gaelic football, and the Ottawa Gaels have been keeping Ireland’s own “beautiful game” alive here since 1975. “As an Irishman, I grew up with the sport,” said the Gaels’ Ciaran Ryan, who immigrated to Canada a little under three years ago. “We played it in school.

Spartan Race just appetizer for local women headed for Death Race Brutal. Death Race contestants run, swim, carry heavy loads, plus face surprise mental and physical challenges — few even finish steve collins

When a race’s website is youmaydie.com, it’s likely to attract a certain kind of competitor. Meet Ottawa’s Leyla Di Cori and Morgan McKay, the only Canadian women out of 250 contestants signed up for the annual Spartan Death Race in Pittsfield, Vt., a 40-mile gauntlet of physical obstacles and mental puzzles that takes 48 hours on almost no sleep to complete. Less than 10 per cent are expected to reach the finish line, although nobody’s ever actually died. Di Cori, 33, a self-described “gym rat” and halfmarathon enthusiast, has been running Spartan races — obstacle courses for the hardcore starting at five-km — for about a year. “There’s a lot of mud involved,” she says of the obstacles. “There’s a lot of

Series of bombings mark deadliest day in over a month A series of bombings in the Iraqi capital struck a crowded restaurant, a police patrol and several other targets on Thursday, killing 12 people and wounding 29 in the bloodiest day in Baghdad in more than a month, police and hospital medics said. Violence has fallen in Iraq since a wave of sectarian bloodshed in 2006 and 2007, but insurgents carry out frequent attacks on security forces and civilians in an attempt to undermine the Shiite-led government. In northwest Baghdad, a parked car exploded outside a crowded restaurant in the Shiite neighbourhood of Shula, killing eight people and wounding 13, police officials said. Naseer Ali, owner of a grocery shop in Shula, said he was about 150 metres from the restaurant when the blast went off. Ali said he and other witnesses rushed to help the victims until the ambulances arrived. “I was in my shop when I heard a powerful explosion and everybody rushed to the explosion site,” he said. “Part of the restaurant was damaged and the windows of the nearby shops were shattered.

Syria blames rebel fighters for massacre
“Politicians are busy with their personal ambitions Differing accounts. Witnesses, UN blame and the insurgents are pro-Assad gunmen making use of this.” Naseer Ali, grocery shop owner
saw several wounded people screaming for help.” Ali said he is worried the level of violence in Baghdad will return to what it was several years ago, in part because of the growing sectarian divide underlying a months-long paralysis of Iraq’s national unity government. Elsewhere in Baghdad, a parked car blew up near the home of Jamal-Din Mohammed, an adviser to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, killing a civilian and wounding four people, including two guards protecting Mohammed’s house. Earlier Thursday, explosions hit two adjacent homes of Baghdad policemen in the predominantly Sunni neighbourhood of Amariyah, killing two and wounding nine people, among them three children. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Syria on Thursday blamed up to 800 rebel fighters for the massacre in central Syria last week that killed more than 100 people, nearly half of them children, in its most comprehensive explanation to date of the bloodshed. The narrative starkly contradicted accounts of witnesses who blamed “shabiha” or the shadowy gunmen who operate on behalf of President Bashar Assad’s regime. The UN also said it had strong suspicions those pro-regime gunmen were responsible for much of the carnage on Friday in a cluster of villages known as Houla. Facing international outrage over the killings, Damascus launched its own investigation into the deaths and announced that special prayers for the victims would be held at mosques across the

Verdict in Mubarak trial could lead to unrest Guilty or not, Saturday’s verdict in Hosni Mubarak’s trial will likely deepen Egypt’s polarization. Political tensions are already simmering in a heated runoff for president pitting the ousted leader’s last prime minister against an Islamist from a group that the old regime repeatedly cracked down. The 84-year-old Mubarak, the first Arab leader to be tried by his own people, faces charges of complicity in the killing of some 900 protesters during last year’s uprising that forced him from power. If convicted, he could face the death penalty. He also faced separate corruption charges along with his two sons — onetime heir apparent Gamal and wealthy businessman Alaa — U.S.

who gained nationwide fame as a vocal critic of Mubarak’s rule. “An innocent verdict will trigger a horrific reaction.” His trial mesmerized the nation, with images of him lying on a hospital gurney inside a defendants’ cage of iron bars and barbed wire taken by most Egyptians to symbolize both their triumph over tyranny and the humiliation of a dictator who ruled for close to 30 years. Mubarak loyalists frequently fought with relatives of dead protesters outside the court, a lecture hall in a police academy once named after him. Lawyers seeking damage for the victims’ families, as well as publicity, occasionally chanted slogans against him in court. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pregnant mother’s move not abduction: Court Ruling overturned. Ontario Court of Appeal says case should be decided in California, where mother and child live A child-custody dispute involving a new mother who moved to California when she was seven months pregnant should be decided in the U.S. state rather than in Ontario, the province’s top court ruled Thursday in a case closely watched by women’s-rights activists. Swanky spending
The Appeal Court rejected the findings of a lower-court judge, who had found the circumstances of the move “analogous to abduction” and decided Ontario courts should have jurisdiction even though the child had never lived in Canada. In overturning the earlier ruling, the appellate judges found Ontario Superior Court Justice Frances Kiteley had made several errors, including her finding the baby was in need of the court’s protection. “The circumstances of this case ... simply do not give rise to any protection concern,” the Appeal Court ruling states. Impasse
According to court documents, Mojdeh Razi, 36, an interior designer, was seven months pregnant when she left Toronto for California last November saying she was going to visit family. After baby Audrey was born in mid-January, the father, waste-management entrepreneur Patrick Dovigi, 32, started custody and access proceedings in Ontario Superior Court. Dovigi, a one-time NHLdrafted goalie, argued Ontario should have jurisdiction, saying he always believed Razi would be returning and Audrey would be parented in the province. the canadian press British Columbia

Canadians elimnated at Scripps spelling bee Tense competition. Mignon Tsai of Abbotsford and Jennifer Mong of St. John’s tripped up during semifinal action in Maryland Two Canadians were eliminated on Thursday from the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Twelve-year-old Mignon Tsai of Abbotsford, B.C., was tripped up by the word “macropodid” during the nail-biter of a semifinal. In the next round, Jennifer Mong of St. John’s — after nailing the word “lymphopoiesis’’ earlier in the day — flubbed the spelling of “vellon” by adding an “e” on the end, concluding her run at the famous spelling bee. The girls were among 50

competitors to make it to the semifinals following two days of often tense competition that saw spelling-bee officials challenge them with progressively more difficult words as the contest proceeded.
Many of those words, with origins in foreign languages, would confound adult Mensa members, and yet most of the schoolchildren, including Tsai and Mong, approached the microphone with poise, confidence — and no small amount of courage amid the glare of television cameras and a time limit to spell their words. Canadians have been a strong presence at the Scripps competition for years, and have had several close calls. Nate Gartke and Finola Hackett of Alberta were previous runners-up. The winner of the spelling bee will take home more than $40,000 US in cash and scholarship money. This year’s competition included schoolkids not just from the U.S. and Canada, but from the Bahamas, China, Ghana, Jamaica, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea. the canadian Press

The religious beliefs of victims of alleged beardand hair-cutting attacks in Ohio Amish country are what matters in the case, not those of the defendants, a federal judge ruled Thursday in rejecting the defendants’ challenges of the federal hate-crimes law.

Inspired by last year’s tsunami in Japan, several thousand people on the southern Oregon Coast took part in their first tsunami-evacuation drill on Thursday.

Watercraft-maker preparing to move assembly to Mexico Quebec. 500 employees of the Valcourt plant will be affected when the company moves over the next 18 to 36 months Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. says 500 Quebec employees will be affected by a decision to switch watercraft assembly to Mexico. The move will take place over the next 18 to 36 months, the company said in a statement released Thursday. The 500 employees affected at the Valcourt plant will be presented with options including retirement packages or positions within or outside of the company. The privately held com-

The new facility is where the assembly of the watercraft will take place. “Building a global multimarket business is an ongoing process,” company president Jose Boisjoli said in the statement. “To remain a market leader, BRP needs to constantly challenge itself and adapt to change. This is not the first time that we change things at BRP, nor will it be the last. “While we remain very much committed to our heritage and roots in Valcourt, we must become more flexible to leverage our growth opportunities.” Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. designs, develops, manufactures and

that it just made sense,” said Mark van Tol, Ford Motor Company of Canada’s communications manager. MyFord Mobile uses an on-board wireless module that allows the car to communicate off-board through standard cellular technology. And since electric cars are all about going green, so is the app. It offers functions that are both fun and practical for its users. EV owners can track their driving practices and see how eco-friendly
they are on the road. The app rates car owners from “zen” to “zippy” and offers figures to show how much money and CO2 emissions they’ve saved by driving electric. For those concerned about conserving their battery life, MyFord Mobile’s option of allowing users to preheat and cool their cars means that instead of draining the battery, they could instead use electricity from the grid as long as they’re already plugged in.
Features
The app comes with a list of other features, like remotely unlocking and locking doors, using a built-in GPS system to locate the car, locating charging stations in the area, and much more. • “It’s just a great way to communicate with your vehicle and really turn it into something more than a car,” said van Tol.

Tropicana. Lawsuits slam ‘all natural’ claims Orange-juice maker Tropicana markets its brand as fresh from the grove, but a series of lawsuits across the U.S. claim the company’s juice is so heavily processed it shouldn’t be called “natural.” In approximately 20 lawsuits lawyers claim the company adds chemically engineered “flavour packs” to its juice, making it taste the same year-round. On Thursday, lawyers came together in Washington to argue before a panel of judges about where the lawsuits should be heard as a group. Tropicana declined to comment but said in a state-
Quoted
“I’d like them to modify their marketing so that consumers can make an informed judgment on their purchases.” Stephen A. Weiss, a lawyer involved in one of the lawsuits against Tropicana
ment that it is committed to full compliance with labelling laws and to producing “great-tasting 100 per cent orange juice.” The orange juice lawsuits are just the latest disputes over “all natural” claims.
Over the past several years, a number of major national brands have been attacked for what consumers have called deceptive labelling. Tostitos, SunChips, Snapple and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream have all faced similar attacks. The lawsuits have become common enough that the Grocery Manufacturers Association, which represents more than 300 food and beverage makers, had a panel that discussed the topic as part of a conference in February. Lawyers representing food and beverage companies have told
their clients to be wary. Part of the problem, lawyers agree, is that consumers are looking for healthier products, and companies have responded by creating and branding their products as “all natural.” The Food and Drug Administration, the agency that oversees packagedfood labelling in the United States, has no definition of what counts as “natural.” As long as a food labelled “natural” doesn’t contain added colour, artificial flavour or synthetic substances, the agency doesn’t object. the associated press

Bullfighting in Spain
Matador (El Juli) on the horns
• Pamplona. Home of the famous Running of the Bulls where townsfolk run ahead of bulls, which are then used in fights.
This was a scary moment for one of Spain’s most celebrated bullfighters. Julian (El Juli) Lopez was thrown in the air and then gored in the stomach by a bull at a festival in the town of Aranjuez this week. After losing consciousness, Lopez returned to finish the fight and was carried off at the finish by spectators.
• Madrid. One of the most popular cities for bullfights. Spain’s capital has two major venues, which can hold 20,000 spectators.

• Barcelona. Represents the modern distaste for bloodsports — it banned bullfighting in 2010.

The ringmaster, from the age of 9 Lopez, 29, has had a remarkable career. He was training with bulls at the age of nine and fought in Mexico at 14 to avoid Spain’s law against underage matadors. He became the highest-paid bullfighter in history at 17 and has flourished since. Footage of his fights have appeared in Shakira’s videos. metro
Comeback
Heavy opponent
“I took a beating but I’m fine, thanks for all your support it has made me better.” Matador Julian Lopez reassures his supporters on Twitter. This was not El Juli’s first scare in the bullring and he has become known for his swift recoveries. In 2010 he was hospitalized after being gored in the scrotum.

Starbuck creators win prize
Kristen Stewart is more tomboy than fierce rebel queen in Snow White and the Huntsman. HANDOUT
Famous fairy tale goes goth Reel Guys
RICHARD CROUSE AND MARK BRESLIN
Snow White and The Huntsman. Charlize Theron’s shrieking performance usurps Kristen Stewart’s turn as Snow White Richard: Chris, this movie plays like the love child of the Grimm Brothers and The Hobbit. It is dark in tone and in look with just a few hi ho ho’s provided by the Seven Dwarfs. That’ll be my last bad Snow White joke, I promise. The first hour is a gothic fairy tale, the second hour more an action movie, but through it all Theron’s bug-eyed Grand Guiginol performance remains constant. Was she too over the top, or just over the top? Chris: One scream of rage would have been over the top. By the time she turned into a melting puddle of dying, tar-
soaked crows, I realized that both the dark tone of the film and Charlize’s shrieking vampire queen performance were more Hammer Horror than Walt Disney... and I was in deep, of course. But what did you think of Stewart’s Snow White?
Synopsis
In this twist on a familiar fairy tale, Charlize Theron is Ravenna, an evil queen so obsessed with being the fairest in the land she condemns the dead king’s lovely daughter, Snow White (Kristen Stewart), to a lifetime of solitude and captivity. When the queen’s mirror tells her that Ms. White will one day reclaim the throne, Ravenna does what any evil monarch would do. She decides to eat Snow’s still beating heart, thereby ensuring immortality and the throne. Chris Alexander sits in for Mark Breslin this week.
RC: K Stew is the movie’s big draw, marquee wise, and while she holds down the fort, I found that unless she was on horseback, or staring down a troll, I wasn’t that interested in her performance. The talky bits aren’t nearly as interesting as the yelling bits (thanks to Charlize’s unhinged performance) or the action sequences. Unfortunately, she is saddled with most of the dialogue, and it is the last interesting thing about the movie. CA: Stewart was a fantastic Joan Jett. Not so much earth goddess/warrior queen but whatever, I forgave her slight, tomboyish presence when so many operatic visuals were ex-

ploding around her. Strangely, however, I found that some of my favourite moments in
the film were the quiet ones; the sequences of technicolour fairy forests and character moments where — alarmingly — you actually empathized with Theron’s soul-sucking monster. What do you think Stewart’s TWI-hard fanbase will think? RC: She couldn’t muster the fanpires for The Runaways but this time around will be different, I think. Her version of Snow White has much in common with the elements that appeal to the Twilight fans. There’s no werewolves or vampires, but there is true love, fantasy and even the sweeping crane landscape shots are reminiscent of her best-known films. CA: Well, she certainly has a better shot at pleasing her fanbase with this lush gothic fantasy than her sparkly paramour Pattinson does getting a five-minute prostate exam in Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis, that’s for sure.... but we’ll save that for another day.

The two creators of Quebec’s fertility comedy Starbuck have each won a $20,000 prize from Telefilm Canada. On Wednesday, director Ken Scott and his co-writer Martin Petit landed the 2011 Guichet d’Or award. The annual honour goes to the Canuck director and writer of a Canadian Frenchlanguage feature film with the highest-grossing domestic box-office sales during the previous year. In 2011, Starbuck took in more than $3.5 million at the Canadian box office, according to Telefilm Canada. Steven Spielberg’s DreamWorks Studios announced last month it’s revamping the francophone film with a new script set in New York. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Canadian surrealist Maddin goes digital (letting go of his usual 16-millimetre trademark) but doesn’t sacrifice a shred of his vision in Keyhole, a haunting, visually informed work of bizarre, muted power. Jason Patric (The Lost Boys) stars as Ulysses, a man who must face the horrors and ghosts of his past inside the confines of his own house — including the specter of his long dead wife (played by Maddin’s muse Isabella Rossellini). Part expressionist poem, part classic Hollywood, and all Maddin.
After serving 25 years in prison, Foley (Jackson) wants to leave the con-man’s life behind him. But Ethan (Kirby), the son of his former partner, is determined to drag him back into the game — by any means necessary. For a film that revolves around pulling a major con, The Samaritan gets off to a slow start. Though it picks up halfway through with some exciting plot twists, the biggest twist of all might feel a little too familiar to some viewers.

There’s an original, unsettling film inside of Sound of My Voice, which orbits an ethereal cult leader (co-writer Brit Marling) who claims to be from the future. The idea of basing a drama around a charismatic, potentially insane figure is compelling but the film is at once overly convoluted and noticeably thin — its supposedly stunning twists feel tacked on and arbitrary. It’s a low-fi science fiction fable that never finds a higher gear.

Piranha 3DD screenwriter Marcus Dunstan
Caramel’s Nadine Labaki co-wrote, directed and stars as a bar owner in a small Middle Eastern town where Christians and Muslims peacefully co-exist. Until now. A teen prank goes wrong, inadvertently launching a holy war that the women try to contain with manipulation, tears, Ukrainian hookers and hashish cookies. It’s entertaining but has more mood swings than Cher has costume changes.
To be honest, Piranha 3DD doesn’t take itself very seriously. And so I won’t be excoriating some disparaging critical diagnosis or justifying any hopeful merit (for the record there are no merits). Just know that when the producers pitched this lowbrow money-grab about a waterpark overrun with flesh-eating fish (need I say more?), they likely only had three words for potential investors: blood, boobs and 3D.

FINAL WEEKEND Buy 3, gEt thE 4th
We’ve made it through a dismal spring loaded with murderous teens, a massive John Carter flop and dreary vampires. Now it’s time to enjoy the blockbusters that, we hope, are guaranteed to please. Heidi Patalano Metro News
The first half of the year is a notorious dumping ground for studio stinkers — save The Hunger Games, of course. We’ve suffered enough! The Avengers was just a tasting of the treats in store over the next three months as things heat up. First, we take a look at some of the most hotly anticipated films that we’ve been dying to see since well before the New Year.
All Books & Magazines. In-store only. June 8: Prometheus We like to talk about Michael Fassbender quite a bit in this paper because he really is just that awesome. But the main attraction for the film in which he stars as Android David is much larger than just one actor. This highly anticipated film helmed by Alien director Ridley Scott shows what happens when humans in the future travel to a foreign planet to discover their origins.
June 22: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter We’re not sure how much a camp factor will come into play with this wacky idea of a film, considering serious Broadway veteran Benjamin Walker will play President Lincoln. But the plot summary really is that Abraham Lincoln decides to vanquish those vamps once he realizes they are planning to take over the U.S., so your guess is as good as ours.
August 3: The Bourne Legacy
July 3: The Amazing Spiderman
July 20: The Dark Knight Rises
Even though there have been a bazillion iterations of Spidey in the last several years, everyone’s dying to get a look at this one, portrayed by The Social Network’s Andrew Garfield and co-starring his real-life girlfriend Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy.
The final installation of Christopher Nolan’s brilliant imagining of Batman has a few tricks up its sleeve, if the spooky trailer is any indication. Tom Hardy is Bane, one of the nastiest villains the Dark Knight has ever encountered. And then there’s Anne Hathaway slinking around as the seductively dangerous Selina Kyle.
Can Jeremy Renner fill the shoes of Matt Damon in the Bourne series? Starring as Aaron Cross, Renner’s first major starring role has a man who must deal with the consequences of Jason Bourne’s actions from where The Bourne Ultimatum left off.

When it comes to Prometheus, Ridley Scott fights the geek fight Prop war. Director talks about arguing over the specifics of space helmets and shoe laces for sci-fi horror flick
Getting technical
Fassbender on androids A major component of the Alien universe — and of the viral marketing campaign leading up to Prometheus — are the incredibly lifelike android characters. This time out, X-Men: First Class star Michael Fassbender takes on the job as David, which he found to be an interesting challenge. “You want to play with as many of those human traits as possible. You’re essentially trying to build a computer that has a physicality to it,” he says.
NED EHRBAR
Metro World News in Hollywood
You would think that a director of Ridley Scott’s stature would find it easier to get what he wants, especially when he’s returning to his sci-fi horror roots with Prometheus. But you’d be wrong. As details of the technology within the film’s story began to take shape, Scott admits he found himself going to the mat on more than one occasion. “You think about everything, down to the shoe laces,” Scott says. “We even had a big argument about the globular helmets. I was certain that I wanted the fully spherical glass

able from humans. But Scott, who’s no stranger to androids thanks to the original Alien, wanted to approach the subject with care. “What was important was the story. There’s
nothing new about an android. That idea is 100 years old,” he says, explaining how this film’s android, played by Michael Fassbender, is deployed. “So then, embrace what it is.
By embracing it, he becomes that much more interesting because he isn’t just part of the ship. He also becomes extremely useful during the story, as it evolves.”
What’s in a fairy tale? Professor Jack Zipes, author of several books on the topic of fairy tales, including this year’s release of The Irresistible Fairy Tale, looks at a few classics. Little Red Ridinghood: “This story raises the issue of rape and violation of a young woman. It
raises the question of, who is responsible for the rape when it happens and how can women protect themselves.” Cinderella: “How do parents treat non-biological children? That question of course is still with us today.”
Hansel and Gretel: “Here we have the issue of child abuse, child abandonment.” Beauty and the Beast: “Forcing or compelling a young woman ... into marrying the man who is 30 or 40 years older.” Heidi Patalano, Metro
Snow White and the Huntsman opens today.

New music
Summer albums sound check
Alan Cross scene@metronews.ca
We’re now well into the summer album release season. Here’s what’s on the horizon this month: Insane Clown Posse/The Mighty Death Pop! (Out now): The Juggalos will be pleased with what Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope have turned in for their 12th album. Still no clue insight into how magnets work, however. Public Image, Ltd/This Is PiL (Out now): Johnny Lydon’s crew has just released their first album in 20 years and it’s a DIY effort on their own label. Good for the contrarian in all of us. Beach Boys/That’s Why God Made the Radio (Tuesday): This is album 29 and coincides with the band’s 50th anniversary. It’s also the first album to feature original material in 20 years. Brian Wilson says he was going for a Pet Sounds sound for the record.
Japandroids/Celebration Rock (Tuesday): Will Vancouver’s Brian King and David Prowse be 2012’s break-out two-piece act? The indie crowds have been all over the first single, The House That Heaven Built. Watch out, Black Keys. Rush/Clockwork Angels (June 12): Finally! The first song from this album was released on June 1, 2010. Another track, BU2B, was a nightly part of the set list on the last Rush tour. Bonus feature: Sci-fi novelist Kevin J. Anderson is turning the album into a book involving steampunk, anarchists, alchemy and The Watchmaker who controls everything. Wintersleep/Hello Hum (June 12): There’s much anticipation about the Halifax band’s fifth album. Hey, Paul McCartney is a fan. Smashing Pumpkins/Oceania (June 19): After attempting and abandoning a new way of releasing music with his Teargarden by Kaleidyscope project, Billy Corgan returns to a traditional album. But he says that Oceania is really “an album within an album.” What?
29
All that Heaven will allow that people will like it, but I mean more that it’s got big songs and big dynamics and big sounds, and that it’s really bombastic. But that wasn’t even the plan.
The Walkmen. Metro chats to the band’s singer about their latest release
How often does that happen with you guys? Every time.

scene@metronews.ca
Hamilton Leithauser needs a jumpstart. The singer for the Walkmen says his 2000 Ford Escape is an otherwise reliable vehicle, but he left his hazard lights on while visiting a friend and the battery died. But if Heaven — the new Walkmen album that came out on May 29 — does as well as it seems like it was designed to do, he might not have to be concerned about his Ford for much longer. Beginning as a buzz band that appeared to be unwillingly lumped in with NYC’s leatherclad class of 2002, the band have persevered and watched their cult of believers expand with each of their six original releases. With Heaven, the band seems to be reaching for something more accessible, something that could even lead to Leithauser buying a rock star car like a Bentley.
Really? Well, every time we’ve tried to plan, it just ends up pigeonholing us. We just have such trouble writing songs that you sort of take what you can get when you like it. I mean, you work and work and work, but when you say, ‘OK, we’re going to write all slow songs,’ then that’s just another limitation that makes it harder. It’s hard enough.

The last time we spoke we were talking about who the best contemporary band in America was, and I remember you saying it would be a different world if the Walkmen were the biggest contemporary American band. Now that’s true.
But you guys definitely seem like you’re aiming for something big with this album. I think we were happy to make a big record, which is not something we always want to do. By “big” I mean that I hope it’s accessible and I hope
This is the first album where you’ve ever featured a song where it’s just your voice and a guitar. … Yeah. We were doing that live for a while and that was kind of weird because everybody just walks off the stage and I’m just up there alone. I mean, we’re just trying for dynamics. We have the one, Line By Line, which is me and Paul. It’s nice to try to vary it up when we can.

From Lord of the Rings to defender of The Grid Tron: Uprising. Elijah Wood steps into a dangerous virtual world in new Disney live action TV series Ned Ehrbar
Metro World News in Hollywood
Elijah Wood is jumping feet first into the world of animated series television with Tron: Uprising, a new series that takes place in the time between 1982’s Tron and 2010’s Tron: Legacy. Of course, it’s not necessarily new territory for the actor, who’s popped up as a voice in films, TV and video games in the past. “Over the last number of years, I’m no stranger to voice work in animation, so I’m used to it,” Wood says. “But getting a chance to work within the context of a universe I was already familiar with was really fun. It just gave the whole experience a more special quality, I think.” The familiar universe of Tron: Uprising also meant more than just the usual voiceover

work, though: “The character happens to be extremely physical, so there’s a lot of me standing in front of a microphone, punching and kicking the air, and making myself sound like I’m in all sorts of intense physical scenarios, which is pretty hilarious,” Wood says. “I’m sure there’s some footage of me, standing there looking like an idiot.” Finding the right voice for Beck was easy, as it turns out, since the show’s producers really just wanted Wood. “It was determined right away that it would be my own voice,” he says, though he cautions that with secret identities and hushhush rebellions on the menu, it’s never that simple. “When the character is Tron, or The Renegade, we do change his voice a little bit,” Wood explains. “Digitally, they mess with his voice, and I also give it a gravity that Beck doesn’t have in his normal Beck mode. The character is split between the two, in a way. Some of those more Tron-Renegade moments definitely have a depth and a gravity to them, and that’s fun. It’s fun to play around with all of that.”

Beck, a young program who leads a revolution inside the computer world of The Grid.
While Tron: Uprising and his live-action TV series, Wilfred, have kept him busy — along with several film projects — Wood is keeping an open mind when it comes to what’s next. “I don’t know that I’m ever looking for anything, in particular,” Wood admits. “I’m always intrigued by new challenges and things that I’ve never done before and new experiences. It sounds so simple, but the primary interest is just something that’s good and instills within me some kind of gut feeling that feels like something that I’m passionate and excited about, and there can be multiple variables that can instill that. But, I’m always just looking to do things that I’ve never done before, primarily.”

The world, according to Jane Fonda 2. She can’t stress enough the importance of the Internet
1. The 1960s

Ned Ehrbar
Metro World News in Hollywood
The always outspoken 74-year-old takes on an idealistic aging hippie in her new film, Peace, Love and Misunderstanding. But Fonda insists that being a hippie was a completely foreign experience for her. That wasn’t all she let us in on.
“I lived in France during the 1960s, so my view of the ’60s is a more global view. It was a time of tremendous transition for America, but for the world as well. And it wasn’t just because of the Vietnam War or the Pill. I’m not a sociologist, so I don’t know why it was that almost everywhere in the world there was tumult, but it was. The ’60s was about discord and generational splits. When I became an activist in 1970, I missed the ’60s. I never was a hippie or anything. I recognize the importance of that decade, having had one leg in the ’50s — which I think has been much more idealized as a time of, you know, families were together and everything was well...”
“The technological stuff has changed everything. We can see it overseas even more, with the Arab Spring and so forth. I never used a computer until I was 58. I was married to Ted Turner, and he threw it across the room. He still doesn’t use one. I started blogging at 71. Since it was all new to me, suddenly my life became very immediate. I was worried about blogging because I study Zen Buddhism and I meditate and I believe in being in the moment, and this is going to keep me from being in the moment. But what I discovered was that it helped me be in the moment.”
3. Kids today don’t protest the way they used to “One of the things that’s really interesting is there’s no leader (in the Occupy movement). During the Vietnam War, there were all these organization and they all had leaders — most of them men. I married one. And now there isn’t and people get really disturbed by that, but it’s really what’s so beautiful about it. It’s not ideological, you can’t quite get a grip on it, but it’s making a difference. Just like that demonstration in Seattle when the WTO met up there. That was in some ways more significant than anything that happened in the ’60s.”
4. Papa don’t
preach: She didn’t actually learn anything about acting from her dad
“I never could get him to talk to me about acting, ever. I produced On Golden Pond for him, and after our big scene together I still couldn’t get him to talk to me about acting. I learned about life from watching his movies — like Grapes of Wrath and 12 Angry Men. It’s what made me who I am, the roles he played. I am my dad’s daughter and I look like him in many ways, and I’m sure there’s things that other people see that I don’t. In some ways, I learned more from Katharine Hepburn than my dad.”
5. On impressing Katharine Hepburn “The first thing she ever said to me was, ‘I don’t like you.’ Take the backflip [scene in On Golden Pond]. I had no intention of doing the backflip, so they had a stunt double all set up, and then Hepburn said to me, ‘Are you going to do the backflip?’ I thought ‘oh God, I’m going to have to do it.’ My dad couldn’t have cared less if I did the backflip myself, but it mattered to her. It took me a month and a half to learn. I’d go out on the raft and do it over and over and over. Finally I made it one day, and I crawled out on the shore and she’d been hiding in the bushes, watching. She came over to me and she said, ‘You’ve taught me to respect you.’”

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon star accused of prostitution Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon star Zhang Ziyi has been accused of earning $110 million by prostituting herself to Chinese government officials and businessmen, according to the Daily Mail.

Ashton and Demi keep it cool in public Tensions seem to have eased between divorcing couple Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, who were spotted together at the birthday party for a Kabbalah instructor, according to People magazine. “They were friendly,” a source tells People magazine of the former couple, who ar-
rived separately. “Ashton got up at one point and grabbed coffee in a paper cup for Demi, and they smiled a few times during the program at each other. They seemed to get along and feel comfortable.” And apparently that’s as good as it’s going to get, says another source.
Drew Barrymore is all set to walk down the aisle with fiancé Will Kopelman Saturday. On Wednesday, the actress was spotted at the Chanel store in Beverly Hills for her final wedding dress fitting. Along for support was Charlie’s Angels costar Cameron Diaz who — in addition to being the kind of girl we imagine has an emergency mini bar in her purse — is a close friend of the couple,
and was even clued in before the proposal. “I knew Drew was getting married before she did!” she tells InStyle UK. As for Drew, she’s apparently overlooked the fact that Cameron is all glowing blonde legs and has given her a front row seat Saturday. “Drew has been leaning on Cameron a lot,” a friend tells Us Weekly. “Cameron has been very involved.” Is it just us, or have we seen this movie before? Cameron’s going to be late and put her shoes on as she runs down the aisle. Drew’s going to wear flowers in her hair and charmingly stumble through her vows while biting her lip. Someone’s saucy great aunt should probably feel up a groomsman played by Andy Samberg. We’ll check back in on Monday, Drew — with the big box of Sno Caps.
Mary-Kate Olsen is reportedly dating former French president Nicolas Sarkozy’s younger brother, Olivier Sarkozy, according to Us Weekly. “It’s true, they’re dating, and she’s definitely interested in him,” a source says. “MK
is constantly complaining about boys not being mature enough for her. She got the kids out of her system. Now being a businesswoman dominates her time, and she is rarely impressed with guys. They are good for each other.”

Grilled Vegetable Napoleons
Beer and iced tea? LIQUID ASSETS
Peter Rockwell @therealwineguy peterrockwell@eastlink.cca
I’ve never been one to mess with a good thing, especially when it comes to booze. So for me the blend of hops, yeast, water and grain that defines beer is pretty much perfection. And while the description of beer includes dozens upon dozens of different varieties that come by their taste profiles naturally, the trend toward flavoured brews is taking the industry by storm. Beer needs them. Sales have seen better days, and industry innovation seems inspired by 1812 rather than 2012, with old school English-style ales the darlings of the aficionado set. That’s what’s fun about Coors Light Iced T (12 x 355 ml, $20.31 $24.99). On the surface it sounds like a mad attempt to attract a summertime audience with a Franken-blend of two totally foreign liquids. The good news is that in the glass it tastes just like iced tea without losing the subtle malty expression of the suds — and it’s a light beer. This is the first time the Coors Light brand has been extended outside its singular universe and the pitch hits a solid home run.

Fire up the grill for easy summer veggies Grilled Vegetable Napoleons. Lazy summer days are too precious to waste in front of a hot stove 1.
Preheat barbecue and set on low. Brush vegetables with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill slowly until tender, turning once.
2.
Transfer vegetables to a tray, arranging them in a single layer, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. The vegetables may be grilled a day
in advance and refrigerated after cooling. Bring the vegetables back to room temperature before proceeding.
3.
Stir together the ricotta, thyme, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Place one slice of eggplant on a lightly oiled grill sheet or foil pan. Spread 1 tablespoon of the ricotta mixture over the eggplant. Cover with 2 slices of zucchini, 1 slice of onion, 1 slice of mozzarella, 1 slice of tomato, 2 slices of zucchini and 1 slice of onion. Spread 1 tablespoon of the ricotta mixture over the onion and top with another slice of eggplant.
Repeat this procedure with the remaining vegetables to make 5 more stacks.
4.
Insert a wooden skewer through the centre of each stack to create a hole from top to bottom. Remove the bottom leaves from each rosemary sprig, leaving one inch of leaves on the top. Insert 1 sprig into the centre hole in each napoleon and return to the barbecue.

Classic recipes. Food journalist’s latest release is a refresher for seasoned cooks and a bible for newbies in the kitchen tina chadha
Metro World News in New York
Unlike other cookbooks that sit pretty on your living room bookshelf, Mark Bittman’s newest release, How to Cook Everything The Basics: All You Need to Make Great Food, stays in the kitchen. The book — a collection of 185 classic recipes along with instructions for fundamental techniques — is a refresher for seasoned cooks and a confidence-boosting bible for newbies in the kitchen. With 1,000 step-by-step photographs, it’s the next best thing to having mom watch over you as you boil a pot of pasta for the first time. Why did you want to publish The Basics? It goes back 12 years, actual-
Mark Bittman. handout
ly, to the publication of the original How to Cook Everything, when there were three complaints. One — which is very amusing — is it doesn’t have a recipe for chicken pot pie. Then the more serious complaints were that it was overwhelming and some beginners did not like it. What’s your game plan when grocery shopping? I go to the produce section and buy everything that looks good. And then I keep a really well stocked pantry. I want people to say, ‘I’m going to the store to buy what looks good, and then I’m going to come home and there’s a cookbook I can look at that’s
What do you say to people who are afraid to cook? People are afraid to drive also, but everyone eventually gets in a car and drives. No one drives well the first time. And very few people are going to cook well the first time. It means you need to be willing to make mistakes, and there’s a level of maturity that indicates. You have to say, ‘I have to go through a learning curve on this.’ What appliances do you recommend for small spaces? An appliance that I think is worth getting is a food processor, because I think it’s really useful. Blenders are less important, but are nice to have. I think little gadgets are much more important: a set of three or four really good knives, a good vegetable peeler, a cheap mandoline, and a grater, like a microplane, for Parmesan. I don’t have much more than that.

Bob Hartley was named the new head coach of the Calgary Flames on Thursday. Hartley said he was in talks with the Montreal Canadiens, but informed them Thursday morning he would join the Flames.
Nicklas Lidstrom retired Thursday with the Detroit Red Wings, ending one of the best careers in NHL history. The four-time champion and seven-time Norris winner played all 1,564 of his NHL games for Detroit.

“I’m not concerned at all.” Boston Celtics shooting guard Ray Allen on Thursday. The Eastern Conference final shifts to Boston on Friday night for Game 3, with the Heat holding a 2-0 lead after staving off perhaps the Celtics’ best shot with a 115-111 overtime victory on Wednesday.
Both Kings and Devils insist best is yet to come NHL. New Jersey looks to settle nerves while L.A. hopes to bring more energy for Game 2 of cup final The New Jersey Devils played poorly and almost won. Coach Peter DeBoer’s team looked to turn that into a positive following Wednesday’s 2-1 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final. The Devils overcame a slow start to send the game into overtime, only to see Kings star Anze Kopitar decide the affair on a breakaway. Thursday was a light day for both teams, with Game 2 not until Saturday. After the loss, the Devils were all reading from the same page. “Not playing our best game and still having a chance to win, that makes us feel pretty good that we can play better and be a little more successful,” said forward Travis Zajac. Forward Ryan Carter added, “We had our chances in that game. Outplayed or not, poor execution or not, we had our chance to win that game. We’ve got to look into that, stay positive, and try to find a way to win the next one.” Added DeBoer: “We got a
chance to get into overtime in the first game with a chance to win.” Unfortunately for the Devils, the Kings also say they have more to bring. “We played all right. I think it’s different adjusting to a new team, adjusting to a different building here,” said defenceman Matt Greene. “But we’ve got to play better if we want to give ourselves a chance to win another game this series.” “I think we can be better,” said Kings captain Dustin Brown. “At the end of the day we found a way to win.” Kings coach Darryl Sutter said a lot of his players said they felt sluggish Wednesday. “I thought we had some nervous players,” he said. “Our guys felt they can play better. That’s a good thing. And I’m sure the other team is saying the same thing too.”

“He continued to have great success, but for different reasons. He didn’t just overpower teams; he outsmarted teams.... He wasn’t as domineering as he was earlier.” Former Astros manager Phil Garner’s testimony during the Rogers Clemens perjury trial on Thursday. Garner told one great story after another. Clemens working out in a flak jacket with 60 pounds of weights. Clemens yelling at himself. Clemens yelling at others. Clemens noticing that home plate was a little bit out of line. No stories involved Clemens using performance-enhancing drugs. On the web

“There is plenty to fix en route. We have multiple issues.” Coach Peter DeBoer, noting the Devils have a history of making tentative starts to series, then getting back on form in the second game.
