Dedicated fans of George Lucas's Star Wars franchise can bathe once again. Revenge of the Sith brings the iconic saga to its inevitable and enjoyably dark conclusion.

Darth days ahead
Sometimes the most enjoyable thing about tragedy is its inevitability. When you're dealing with fatal flaws, fallen heroes, crushed hopes and truckloads of hubris, a huge weight of expectations is lifted when you know that, no matter what, everything will turn out badly.

Writer/director Todd Solondz makes deeply humanistic, often ghastly and always unflinchingly hyperrealistic films that are the big-screen equivalent of such upchuck-inducing TV shows as Operation and Face Eating Tumor.
 

One reviewer's Hell
Actor/playwright Gil Hayward sent me an early draft of One Man's Heaven about a year ago with a request for a little dramaturgy. I read it and told him that, in all honesty, this was just not my kind of play and that I would, therefore, be the very worst person to offer advice.
 

'Hindoos' not welcomed
Sixty-three years ago, a brick was presented to the Vancouver Archives. Thrown in anger by an would-be immigrant from India who had been cooped up on a ship in Vancouver's harbour for nearly two months with little in the way of food or water, it was one of the few tangible reminders of what had become known as the Komagata Maru incident.
 

Seven Days Ahead
Miss Saigon, the hugely successful musical by the same team that created Les Mis‚rables, comes to the Stanley Theatre May 19 and runs until July 17.
 

Passion of the Larry
Chest pains? Check. Clogged arteries? Sort of. High cholesterol? Yup. Lifelong smoker? Cough. Drinker? Hell yeah. High stress job? Y-y-yes. Works in close proximity to Fred Bass? Sigh.
