for her 

choice 

HMV Sound Choice takes the guesswork out of exploring new music. Every month, we single 

out a selection of great albums for a little extra attention, and this month, it’s all about our 

favourite releases of the last year. These are the best of the best, and we stand behind 

every single one. 

JET 

Shine On 

Shine On is a hard rock album of 

epic proportions. From the snaking 

bass lines and twin guitar assault to 

the vocal howl that will flatten 

mountains and open bedroom 

doors, Shine On is a sonic boom ecstasy. Check out the 

Big Star-influenced roar of “Stand Up” and the Curtis 

Mayfield-infused shuffle of the first single “Put Your 

Money Where Your Mouth Is”. 

BILLY TALENT 

II 

After coming out of nowhere to land 

atop the Canadian screamo/punk 

scene with their eponymous 2003 

debut, Billy Talent return to reclaim top 

spot. Once again fuelled by singer Ben 

Kowalewicz's potent vocals, II finds the quartet building on 

their already impressive singles track record with the brazen 

opener “Devil In A Midnight Mass” and the call-to-arms of 

“Red Flag”. Elsewhere, cuts like “Fallen Leaves” and 

“Surrender” deliver some of the album's tightest melodies. 

ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA 

Rock Star Supernova 

Fresh from the success of the first 

“Rockstar” series that saw Canada's 

J.D. Fortune join Aussie rockers 

INXS, here's take two. Rock Star 

Supernova unites some of hard 

rock's heaviest hitters - Gilby Clarke (ex-Guns'n'Roses), 

Tommy Lee (Mötley Crüe) and Jason Newstead (ex- 

Metallica) and an as-yet-unnamed vocalist - for a rough 

and raucous rock'n'roll ride. 

PANIC! AT THE DISCO 

A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out 

With A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, Panic! 

At the Disco’s genre-obliterating stunner 

of a debut, the Las Vegas foursome aims 

for the narrowest of niche markets - emo 

kids who just wanna dance - and 

develops a daring fusion of punk and disco. Backed by funky 

beats, slippery synths and roaring guitars, frontman Brendon 

Urie peppers P!ATD's ferocious dance-punk with clever 

couplets and an elastic voice equally comfortable tackling 

screamo howlers and music hall sass. 

THREE DAYS GRACE 

One-X 

This Toronto-based quartet has 

blasted onto the charts with One X 

and its lead-off single, “Animal I 

Have Become”. No surprise, given 

the rapturous response the band's 

debut album, featuring “I Hate Everything About You”, 

received. One-X ups the alt-metal ante, packing even 

more of a wallop than its predecessor. 

FOO FIGHTERS 

Skin and Bones 

The drummer jokes end here. After 

his former band Nirvana’s tragic end 

(brought about by the suicide of 

leader Kurt Cobain), drummer Dave 

Grohl recorded a solo album under 

the banner Foo Fighters, later forming the full-fledged 

band, which has become one of alt-rock's biggest 

forces. This retrospective offers the best of the Foos - 

thus far. Includes the blistering hit singles “The Best of 

Me” and “This Is a Call”. 

Let’s face it, with the holiday season fast approaching, this is no time for heavy 

thinking. With so many great albums released over the past twelve months and more 

coming out every week, it’s pretty easy to miss something. So why strain your brain? 

Leave the thinking to HMV Sound Choice! 

SHAKIRA 

Oral Fixation Volume 2 

Throaty Columbian rump-shaker 

Shakira concludes her two-disc, bestof-both-worlds 

recording turn with the 

edgier Oral Fixation Volume 2, the set's 

all-English second installment. 

Though initially designed to expose the singers repressed 

inner rock star, a thirteenth-hour injection of irresistible 

reggaeton rhythms in the Wyclef-crafted “Hips Don't Lie” is 

what's really had an entire hemisphere looking to Shakira for 

an infectious dose of truth. 

KT TUNSTALL 

Eye to the Telescope 

Armed with equal measures of sass 

and sensitivity, Scottish singersongwriter 

KT Tunstall's debut feels 

like a timeless favourite from the 

very first listen. The standout lead 

single “Other Side of the World” sets the album's toughyet-tender 

tone early. Tunstall’s biting, open-hearted 

lyrics call to mind a more rock-oriented Rickie Lee 

Jones; loads of clever lines reveal a talented young 

songwriter who already sounds like a seasoned pro. 

MADONNA 

Confessions on a Dancefloor 

Mixing the high-energy pure pop of 

her early hits such as “Holiday” and 

“Lucky Star” with the ‘future disco’ 

sheen of modern Madonna classics 

such as “Ray Of Light” and “Music”, 

the latest album from Madonna is still going strong, 

serving as a deliriously dynamic reminder that when it 

comes to getting us ‘into the groove,’ no one can do it 

quite like Madge. Co-conspirators include Mirwais, Joe 

Henry and producer/ mixer/ DJ Stuart Price. 

CORINNE BAILEY RAE 

Corinne Bailey Rae 

With comparisons to Billie Holiday 

and more soulful Norah Jones 

abounding, blissful Brit 

singer/songwriter Corinne Bailey 

Rae exudes her own unique style on 

her eponymous debut set. Flowing over a rich, classic 

soul tapestry that belies her relative youth, Rae caresses 

each song with her slight rasp and soothing melodies on 

a disc that's surely just the beginning of something truly 

special. 

BE GOOD TANYAS 

Hello Love 

The Vancouver-based Be Good 

Tanyas have indeed found success 

with the deep-rooted integrity and 

honesty with which they approach 

their music - an intoxicating mix of 

old-time country and blues, folk, bluegrass and gospel. 

The new album, Hello Love, contains originals like the 

gorgeous lead-off track “Human Thing”, the rollicking, 

groove-based “Ootischenia” and the bittersweet “Song 

For R”. 

SHAYE 

Lake of Fire 

Lake of Fire is the long anticipated new 

album from Canada's top female trio. 

The three songstresses, Kim 

Stockwood, Damhnait Doyle and Tara 

Maclean, have crafted a masterful 

recording, both engaging and energetic, and Shaye has 

come into its own as one powerful musical entity with three 

distinct elements. Covering songs by Ron Sexsmith, the 

Waterboys and Van Morrison and led by first single “Lake of 

Fire”, the new record is a Canadian classic in the making.

Did you see the last Bond 

film? You’re trying to recall 

which one that was, right? 

Something with “die” in the title 

…or was it “eye”? Tomorrow Never 

Dies? No. Die Another Day, that’s 

it, Die Another Day. 

At the risk of infuriating 

Bond fans I’ve gotta say that the 

last few James Bond films have 

just bled into one for me. That’s 

not really fair. Truth is, I didn’t 

even see most of Die Another Day. 

Couldn’t get past the half-hour 

point. I remember James Bond 

was somewhere really cold, there 

was lots of ice, and maybe a plane, and there was action, lots of action, 

really boring action. 

And it’s not just me. In “Building a Strong Bond,” page 30, producer 

Micheal G. Wilson admits the series was going off the rails. “We started 

getting too high in the sky — outer space, invisible cars — the 

technology began to overwhelm the story and the characters,” Wilson 

told writer David Giammarco during an interview on the film’s 

Bahamas set. That’s a surprisingly honest thing for a producer to say, 

especially since the movie made a ton of money. I’d like to think it shows 

quality is at least as important as box office for the heirs to this franchise. 

So the producers decided to bring the whole thing down to a more 

human level for Casino Royale, in part by casting the very human-looking 

Daniel Craig (also interviewed for this piece) as the new James Bond. 

Gone is the perfect hair and the too-suave attitude, replaced by good 

old-fashioned manliness. Plus, for the first time in a long time, a Bond 

film will actually be based on a book written by James Bond creator, 

Ian Fleming. In fact, Casino Royale was Fleming’s first book about 

Bond, so we get to see him take his initial steps as Agent 007. For this, 

I will return. 

On page 26 you’ll find “Laugh Until You Cry,” my interview with 

Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy about their latest collaboration, 

For Your Consideration. Just as funny as their previous movies 

(Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind), this one is 

unique in one very important way — it’s not a mockumentary. Then 

again, they say neither were those other films. 

Read the story to find out why. 

And there are some great gift ideas in our 

Early Bird Gift Guide, page 34. What’s it going to be, 

the new PlayStation 3 or Nintendo’s Wii? Should 

you pick a plasma TV or a Blu-ray DVD player? 

How about a pair of sheepskin slippers or a 

pretty little necklace? Still not quite right? 

Candles, ornaments and Holiday decorations 

always make a nice gift. —MARNI WEISZ

Marc-André 

Grondin: A beautiful beast I BY CHRISTOPHER DIRADDO 

It’s been more than two years 

since shooting wrapped on 

the homegrown Frenchlanguage 

blockbuster C.R.A.Z.Y. 

— a film that went on to snag a 

record number of awards and 

nominations, including 10 

Genies, and became one of 

Quebec’s biggest box-office 

draws of all time — and 

Marc-André Grondin is eager to 

say goodbye to Zac Beaulieu, 

the role that made this 22-yearold 

actor a Canadian star. 

“I know that this role will 

follow me for the rest of my life. 

But it has been a year that I 

have been promoting 

[C.R.A.Z.Y.] and I am no longer 

able to talk about it with such 

passion,” he confides. “It is 

time for me to move on.” 


It’s Grondin’s new projects 

that excite him these days, 

including this month’s 

La Belle bête. 

Based on Quebec author 

Marie-Claire Blais’ 1959 

debut novel, La Belle bête 

(the English version was 

published as Mad Shadows), it 

was adapted for the big screen 

by director Karim Hussain 

Trim: 10.5" 

Safety: 0.25" 

(Ascension). Grondin plays the 

beautiful beast in question, 

Patrice, a pretty, yet dim-witted, 

young man who is worshipped 

by his doting mother (Carole 

Laure) and loathed by his smart 

but unattractive sister (Caroline 

Dhavernas). It’s a dark and 

violent psychological drama 

that builds to a horrifying 

conclusion. 

Initially, Grondin had trouble 

understanding his character. 

“A week before shooting I 

freaked out. I couldn’t find 

Patrice’s voice. I couldn’t get 

him. Then I realized I needed 

only to draw inspiration from 

one thing, my dog,” he says, 

chuckling. “Seriously, Patrice is 

the dog in that family. In every 

situation he reacts like an 

animal. He gets beaten up but 

always returns to his master.” 

It’s definitely a change of 

pace from his sensitive portrayal 

of C.R.A.Z.Y.’s sexually 

confused adolescent. So did he 

choose this role on purpose? 

“I try to apply the approach 

of the band Radiohead to my 

choice of scripts,” he says. 

“Their first album was a big hit. 

And what did they do to ensure 

their second album wouldn’t be 

a victim of comparison? They did 

something completely different.” 

Filming La Belle bête 

required much of Grondin, 

including being physically 

abused. “It was rough,” he says. 

“I didn’t leave this experience 

without a scrape.” 

The film also required some 

nudity, which wasn’t a problem 

for this Quebec heartthrob. 

“For me to undress and show 

some skin, when it is justified, 

does not bother me. In this film 

it symbolizes the purity and 

vulnerability of the character.”

interview|CHRISTOPHER GUEST & EUGENE LEVY 

Many of the most astonishing bigscreen 

moments have been quiet 

close-ups of characters’ sedate 

faces that reveal storms of emotion raging 

just beneath. 

Glenn Close has one at the end of 

Dangerous Liaisons as her shamed 18thcentury 

temptress scrubs the makeup 

from her face. Kevin Spacey’s corrupt 

cop catches a glimpse of himself in the 

mirror behind a bar in L.A. Confidential, 

and you can see right through to his core. 

And Catherine O’Hara has one about 

halfway through For Your Consideration 

when her aging actor thinks she just might 

get an Oscar nomination for her turn in 

a laughably bad indie drama. 

It’s an odd place to find such a moment, 

in the middle of Christopher Guest’s 

latest over-the-top comedy. In the tradition

Director Christopher Guest

set of For Your Consideration 

Laugh until you cry 

Yes, For Your Consideration is pee-your-pants funny. 

But Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy also want you to see 

the tragedy behind the humour I BY MARNI WEISZ 

of Guest’s other recent movies — Waiting 

for Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty 

Wind — this one is crammed full of 

painfully funny jokes from start to finish. 

But in that one scene, as O’Hara stares 

upward ever so slightly with hopeful, 

vulnerable blue eyes, you don’t feel like 

you’re watching a comedy at all. 

“The important part of this story is 

the emotional part,” says Guest — who 

directed, co-wrote and stars in the film 

— during a tandem interview with 

Eugene Levy at the Toronto International 

Film Festival. Levy, a Hamilton native 

who now lives in Toronto and L.A. 

co-wrote the script, as he did for Guest’s 

last three movies, and also has a role. 

Both look surprisingly conservative in 

nearly identical dark blue blazers. 

“We’ve been in this business a long time 

and we’ve seen a lot of these bizarre 

people, that’s the easy part,” continues 

Guest. “The hard part is weaving the 

somewhat tragic story through it, and 

without that there’s no movie.” 

Like all of Guest’s movies, For Your 

Consideration is a mass ensemble, and 

you’ll recognize most of the major players 

from his past films. Much of the story 

takes place on the set of the shlocky, 

low-budget, 1940s-set movie within the 

movie, Home for Purim. Written by a 

couple of too-earnest playwrights 

(Michael McKean and Bob Balaban), 

Purim stars Marilyn Hack (O’Hara) and 

equally past-his-prime Victor Allen Miller 

(Harry Shearer) as the heads of a Jewish 

family in the American South. When 

their lesbian daughter (Parker Posey) 

arrives home for the holiday with her 

partner (Rachel Harris) it causes much 

tsuris…sort of like Yiddish for angst.

of an actor directing himself in the 

role of a director, Guest plays fuzzyhaired 

filmmaker Jay Berman. Levy plays 

Miller’s smarmy agent, Morley Orfkin. 

But the pitiable atmosphere on the 

Home for Purim set instantly transforms 

when someone hears that an anonymous 

blogger was on set and wrote that Hack’s 

performance is Oscar-worthy. The tragedy 

is that once the Oscar rumours start, no 

matter how baseless they are, everyone 

falls in love with the idea of being handed 

the ultimate Hollywood validation. 

“It’s the strongest form of comedy 

when the audience has an emotional 

connection to the characters as well, 

otherwise it’s a sketch,” explains Levy. 

“When the jokes stop, the movie stops.” 

It’s surprising to see just how much 

affection and sympathy Guest and Levy 

have for these characters, all of whom are 

ridiculous, and all of whom seem to get 

skewered by the script. In fact, Guest 

bristles when the word mockumentary is 

used to describe his films. “I have never 

made a mockumentary, but I’ve made 

movies in a documentary style,” he says. 

Which is a shock, because Guest’s 

movies are the first to spring to mind 

when one hears the word mockumentary. 

“You’re not taking these people and 

holding them up to ridicule,” says Levy, 

“which I think is why the term mockumentary 

is something that is not entirely 

a word that sits well…. Guffman was not 

mocking small town people, and Best in 

Show was not mocking these people, 

these are real people, we met these people. 

These characters in the movie were based 

on people we ran into while we were 

doing the research for the movie.” 

Perhaps their discomfort with the term 

is one reason they decided not to make 

For Your Consideration in the documentary 

style. You don’t really notice it for the first 

15 minutes because the jokes are firing at 

a machine-gun pace, but then it occurs to 

you, there are no asides to the camera, 

no captions. This is pure narrative. 

“We needed a change,” says Guest. “It 

was tremendously difficult because when 

you’re doing a documentary style, at any 

point you can throw in an interview, you 

can throw in a still of Eugene with his eyes 

crossed.” 

“Which we’ve done in every picture,” 

adds Levy. 

Like their past films, this one was largely 

improvised. Guest and Levy create the 

skeleton, but after that anything goes. 

Early reports claimed the film was

Victor Allen Miller (Harry Shearer) chats with agent 

Morley Orfkin (Eugene Levy) in For Your Consideration 

inspired by the experience Guest and 

Levy went through in 2004, when the 

McKean-penned song “A Kiss at the End 

of the Rainbow,” from A Mighty Wind, was 

nominated for Best Original Song. There 

was even talk that Levy might get an 

Oscar nod for his performance as Mitch, 

the emotionally fragile former folk icon. 

“Once you get into things like the 

New York Film Critics’ Circle...and then 

these lists come up, there you find 

your name on the Top Ten people for 

whatever,” recalls Levy. “And you love 

these people for putting your name on a 

list, and it means they like what you did, 

but you know, how far is this going to go? 

It is like a thing that’s pulling you along, 

this thing you have no control over.” 

Levy and O’Hara performed “A Kiss at 

the End of the Rainbow” live at the Oscars, 

and while that may have influenced 

Levy’s work on this script, it was not the 

inspiration for For Your Consideration. 

“This started probably 20 years ago,” 

says Guest. “In 1979 I was working on a 

film, as an actor, and we were about three 

weeks into shooting, and someone came 

up to the director of photography and 

said, ‘You better get your tuxedo ready.’ 

And I remember thinking, ‘What?! We 

just started this thing, what are you talking 

about?’ And I could see a change in this 

guy. He’d suddenly become better in his 

own mind. And he wasn’t nominated.” 

No worries about that sort of torment 

here in Canada. When asked whether the 

Canadian film industry brews the same 

level of unhealthy competition over the 

Genies, Levy flatly responds, “No.” 

Then after the laughter dies, he adds, 

“I don’t think films are made in this country 

where people go, ‘We’re getting a Genie, 

I know it!’ I think the happiest moments are 

when the financing comes through.”

Pouring a Stella Artois takes patience and a little skill with a knife. In other words, as the frothy head foams over the edge of the 

chalice, your barman should gently cut it off. Doing so prevents the beer from going flat too quickly. It’s also just one of nine steps 

involved in an age-old ritual we like barmen to observe when pouring it. Regrettably, you won’t find this attention to detail everywhere. 

But you’ll always find it at our Stella Artois Gold Standard Establishments. Handpicked from a selection of thousands of bars and 

restaurants, each of these venues ensures that your Stella Artois tastes exactly as it should: perfect. Learn more at StellaArtois.com.

As always, with anything fantastic that happens in your life, 

there’s always a slight moment of anticlimax because you 

don’t really believe it’s for real,” muses Daniel Craig, upon 

whose shoulders sits a weight unmatched by any of his five 

predecessors in the role that could either make or break his 

career, and determine the fate of a 44-year screen phenomenon. 

“And I have to admit that when I first got the phone call I was 

in a complete state of disbelief...but after my third vodka martini 

it started to sink in,” adds Craig with a smile. “And that’s the truth 

— I went out and got very drunk on vodka martinis that night.” 

To say Casino Royale is a giant gamble for all involved is a huge 

understatement. The most successful film franchise in movie 

history is forgoing the tried-and-true by going back to its roots. 

Author Ian Fleming’s very first James Bond novel, Casino Royale 

was published in 1953 and lays the groundwork for the man 

who will become the world’s most famous and deadliest secret 

agent. (The book has been filmed twice before, first as a 

1953 episode of the TV show Climax! and then in 1967 as an 

oddball spy spoof starring David Niven as Bond. But neither is 

considered part of the Bond canon.) 

“The way we look at it is it’s Classic Bond,” explains producer 

Barbara Broccoli, daughter of legendary 007 producer 

Albert “Cubby” Broccoli, between camera setups on the beaches 

of Paradise Island. This is where Craig’s 007 will make his 

entrance from sparkling waters, echoing Ursula Andress’ 

indelible introduction in Dr. No. 

These sun-drenched Bahamian shores have been a tropical 

touchstone throughout the series and are helping to lend a

Daniel Craig may not be 

everyone’s first choice to play 007, 

but the Casino Royale star is doing his 

damnedest to bring the character back 

to his roots I BY DAVID GIAMMARCO 

retro feel to this Bond rebirth. From the posh Café Martinique 

and the electric Junkanoo parade made famous in 1965’s 

Thunderball, to the spectacular — and sometimes treacherous 

— coral reef dives, this opulant oasis has played host to five 

previous Bond films and duly credits the 007 phenomenon with 

elevating it to a jet-set destination in the 1960s. 

In fact, original Bond Sean Connery became so enamoured 

with the location after shooting Thunderball that he bought a 

house here and has made it his primary residence ever since. 

So, with much of Casino Royale having been lensed on soundstages 

in Prague, these precious few weeks of location work have 

provided cast and crew a much-needed breath of fresh air — and 

an invaluable chance to reconnect with Bond history. 

“Casino Royale is the definitive Bond story,” says Broccoli of 

the only Bond novel that her father and producing partner 

Harry Saltzman did not have the rights to produce (it was eventually 

aquired by MGM after a lengthy court battle that ended 

in 1999). “It was always an ambition of theirs to be able to make 

the Casino Royale story but, sadly, they were never able to. So 

when it finally became available to us, we leapt at the chance. 

But this decision to reboot the series — which has grossed more 

than $4-billion worldwide since Dr. No’s premiere in 1962 — is tricky 

business. Casino Royale introduces James Bond before he holds 

his license to kill, forgoing the trademark fantastical elements in 

favour of a more realistic narrative and grittier characterizations, 

all generously spiked with painful doses of tragedy and loss.

supervillains, and, of course, fan-favourite Pierce Brosnan. 

Considering Brosnan’s last outing as 007 in 2002’s Die Another 

Day grossed nearly $450-million — the highest take for a Bond 

film to date — the obvious question is: Why mess with success? 

“Well, I think we’ve seen Bond films go through different 

periods of change,” offers Michael G. Wilson, who produces the 

Bond films with his stepsister Broccoli. “In the 1970s they got 

bigger and bigger and more fantastic until we reached 

Moonraker [1979] in outer space. And we realized that it was 

going in the wrong direction and we brought it back to basics 

with For Your Eyes Only [1981]. 

“And what we saw with Die Another 

Day is that we got to the same point,” 

continues Wilson. “We started getting 

too high in the sky — outer space, 

invisible cars — the technology began 

to overwhelm the story and the characters. 

We felt it was very important 

to bring it back down to Earth.” 

Though 007 has tangled with the 

world’s worst villains and megalomaniacal 

madmen over the past 44 years, 

this time Bond’s greatest nemesis 

has proven to be the media. Auric 

Goldfinger and Blofeld were paper 

tigers compared to the Fleet Street 

tabloids, which have held Craig in 

their crosshairs since it was anounced 

the little-known, 38-year-old British 

actor would replace Brosnan. Hounded 

by criticism over a seeming lack of 

necessary Bond attributes, Craig has 

taken the attacks in stride. 

“The truth is, if you’re not getting 

bruised when you’re doing Bond, 

you’re not doing it properly,” quips 

Craig in true Bondian fashion, as he 

sits down to chat at the posh One & 

Only Ocean Club on the powderwhite 

sand shores of Paradise Island. 

“Quite honestly, I didn’t really 

expect it,” admits the rugged, fairhaired 

Craig, whose recent credits include Munich and The Jacket. 

“I mean, I’ve been acting a while now and I’ve been in some big 

movies before, but nothing on this level. And I’ve learned that 

you can’t believe the good stuff and you can’t believe the bad 

stuff. You kind of still take it in, but I’m really trying to ignore 

it. I have to. I’m getting on with this.” 

Faith in Craig’s abilities was strengthened shortly after filming 

wrapped this summer, when Eon Productions announced that 

it had signed Craig to another two Bond films, with the next one 

due to start production in 2007. 

Still, Craig confesses that the furor has upped the ante. “I’ve 

been giving 110 percent from the very beginning, and maybe 

after [the criticism] I was trying to give 115 percent, but I mean, 

I’m giving everything I can,” he says. 

“So once that’s all done and dusted,” he adds, “and once 

we’ve got the movie out, people can say what they want. They 

can criticize it then. But it’s really silly for anyone to criticize it 

now because they haven’t seen it yet!” 

Casino Royale begins in black and white before transitioning 

“The truth is, if you’re not 

getting bruised when you’re 

doing Bond, you’re not doing 

it properly,” says Craig 


to colour after Bond has made his first two kills and is elevated 

to “00” status. “It’s a very tough story,” explains director 

Martin Campbell (GoldenEye). “It’s very interesting that in the 

book Bond finds violence very hard to take. When he has to do 

two killings, one of them ends up becoming very ugly and 

messy. It really affects him, even though he’s in denial about it.” 

Agent 007’s first mission means facing down Le Chiffre 

(Mads Mikkelsen), who is banker to the world’s terrorist 

organizations. The Bond Girls include Italian stunner 

Caterina Murino (Nowhere) as femme fatale Solange and 

French beauty Eva Green (Kingdom of 

Heaven) as Vesper Lynd, a representative 

from the British Secret Service 

sent to keep tabs on Bond. 

“It’s a very special, unusual relationship 

because Vesper is the only 

woman who really gets to Bond’s 

heart,” explains Green, relaxing 

waterside between takes. “They really 

fall in love. She has a big impact on 

his life and he will later become the 

Bond that we all know because of 

that one relationship.” 

Under Campbell’s direction, the 

crew has been maximizing its time in 

the Bahamas, which will also double 

for Madagascar and Montenegro in 

the film’s key action scenes. 

The next day’s shoot on Coral 

Harbour includes a spectacular foot 

chase through the jungle and then 

the alleyways of a shantytown, culminating 

in a showdown 10 storeys up, 

across narrow steel girders in an 

abandoned construction site. Craig 

works out for two hours every night 

after shooting wraps, and watching 

him in action, it’s obvious he has the 

athletic prowess necessary for the role. 

“You see how physical this job is 

for me,” says Craig, catching his 

breath between takes and wiping the 

sweat from his forehead. “I got a personal trainer for this film, 

which has been an absolute godsend. 

“I knew I had to be in the best shape I could be,” he adds with 

a grin, “otherwise I would never survive it…. Because at the end 

of the day there isn’t any painting-it-in for this movie. These stunts 

aren’t going to be helped by CGI...what you’re seeing is the 

real thing. It’s the ‘wow’ factor. Audiences get it when the stunts 

are done for real and people actually put their lives in danger.” 

For Campbell, it’s all about making the 21st James Bond film 

“the most realistic and emotionally involving” film of the series. 

“I mean, how many control rooms can you blow up? How many 

madmen can take over the world? How many space stations can 

you take over,” asks Campbell with a shrug. “The argument is 

simply we’ve taken Bond as far as we can with the formula...so 

let’s see if we can shake it up a little bit.” 

David Giammarco is the Senior Reporter for TV’s E Talk and the 

author of For Your Eyes Only: Behind The Scenes of the

PLAY 

BYE-BYE BLUR 

NEC Display says its 20-inch GX2 

LCD Display ($730, CompuSmart) 

is the gamer’s best choice thanks 

to six-millisecond “fast response” 

LCD technology, which allows it 

to handle action games without 

the blurring and ghosts that 

plagued previous LCD displays. 

Plus, it has a wide screen, 

integrated TV tuner and picturein-picture 

capability. 

THE POWER OF PLAYSTATION 

Launching November 17th, PlayStation 3’s sleek 

and simple exterior hides a whopping amount of 

power. This third-generation console comes with a 

pre-installed hard disk drive — you choose 

between 20 GB or 60 GB ($550 or $660, 

electronics stores). Both models feature Blu-ray 

drive and Bluetooth wireless controllers. 

RESISTANCE IS NOT FUTILE 

Trying to pick one game to go along with that new PlayStation 3? 

Resistance: Fall of Man (Price TBD, electronics stores) may be 

the biggest release from Sony this season. With gorgeous 

graphics, the military-action title has gamers battling the 

Chimera, a mysterious species spreading a dangerous virus. 


THE DEAL WITH NINTENDO 

On November 19, Nintendo releases its 

much-anticipated Wii console ($280, 

electronics stores). At less than half the 

price of the PlayStation 3 it’s much 

more affordable, if not as powerful. 

Wii (pronounced “we”) comes with an 

innovative wireless remote controller that 

detects motion (for example, when playing 

a golf game you swing the controller just 

like a club), a nunchuck controller and a 

collection of five sports games. 

THE LEGEND CONTINUES 

The go-to title for Wii users this season will be The Legend of Zelda: 

Twilight Princess ($60, electronics stores). This latest game in the 

massively popular third-person adventure series sees our hero Link 

travelling to the Twilight Realm where he transforms into a wolf.

Anatomy 

Grey’s 

Sparkly or flat, grey is in bloom this season I BY LIZA HERZ 

Some fashion designers have a 

mean streak, often demonstrated in 

runway shows rife with uglifying makeup 

or shaved-off eyebrows. Does this make for 

interesting magazine photos? Yes. Is it 

attractive and wearable in real life? No. 

Then there are the more insidious 

versions of unwearability. This fall’s fashion 

hurdle is learning how to wear the colour 

grey. From Calvin Klein minimalism to 

Marc Jacobs’ slouchy glamour, grey is (and 

we really hate to say this) the new black. 

The downside is grey’s tendency to make 

the wearer look like a dead mouse. Grey 

ensembles need texture and contrast. 

Choose tone-on-tone shades of smoke and

silver or even greige (grey 

warmed by beige), and don’t 

forget the accessories — big or 

glossy or both. Take your cue from 

this season’s “it bag,” the humungous 

Chanel Coco’s Cabas Tote (right) that 

measures a staggering two feet long. 

On the makeup front, don’t think you 

can get away with nothing more than a lick 

of mascara and a dab of concealer. The 

superpale look that was so dramatic on the 

runway only looks cadaverous in real life. 

Apply some colour or risk well-meaning 

inquiries into the state of your health. After 

all, you want people to notice your 

fabulous new clothes, not your pallor.

GETTING INTO GEARS 

The much-anticipated Gears of War is both gorgeous and hideous I BY SCOTT GARDNER 

GEARS OF WAR 

XBOX 360 

Every year on Emergence Day, 

the few remaining humans on 

the planet Sera, holed up on the 

heavily fortified Jacinto Plateau, 

pause and remember. It’s a 

chance to reflect on life before 

the nightmarish race called the 

Locust Horde emerged from 

deep in the ground, wiping out a 

quarter of Sera’s population in 

Tony Hawk’s Project 8 

TONY HAWK’S PROJECT 8 

XBOX 360, XBOX, PS3, PS2, PSP 

The first entry in the Tony Hawk series built 

specifically from the ground up for the new 

cohort of consoles, Project 8 promises 

extremely detailed animation and a truly 

open environment of anonymous Midwest 

’burbs, theme parks and factories. 

It’s also the first game created in 

developer Neversoft’s new motion-capture 

studio, using high-res, high-megapixel 

body scans of all the pro sk8rs to capture 

their moves, and even facial expressions. 

24 hours, and precipitating the 

thermonuclear holocaust that 

left 90 percent of the planet a 

smoking ruin. Not a big picnic 

and beach volleyball day, in 

other words. 

Here on Earth, however, 

“Emergence Day” (or November 

12th) marks the release of 

Gears of War. Developed for 

Microsoft by well-regarded 

Epic Games (of the Unreal 

The result: newly fluid and natural-looking 

popshoveits, melloncollies and, hopefully, 

bone-snapping slams. 

UNTOLD LEGENDS: 

DARK KINGDOM PS3 

This third epic in Sony’s Untold Legends 

series arrives just in time for all the newly 

minted PS3 owners who can’t live without 

a little fantasy, adventure and dungeon 

crawling. This time, a mad king is terrorizing 

his people and you — playing as a powerful 

mage, a hearty warrior or a nimble (yet oddly 

voluptuous) scout — must free the land. 

Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom 


franchise), it’s arguably the 

most-anticipated 360 game yet. 

The buildup for this sci-fi and 

horror-themed third-person 

shooter is through the roof and 

rapidly accelerating toward the 

nonsense-osphere. Amazingly, it 

just might be warranted. 

Set some years after 

Emergence, the game tells of a 

few “Gears” — battle-scarred 

soldiers, outgunned and 

outnumbered by a relentless foe, 

struggling to preserve humankind 

in a post-apocalyptic landscape. 

It’s gorgeous and hideous to 

look at, from syrupy arcs of 

arterial spray to the screaming 

lizard-worm faces of the Locust. 

Rejecting the standard 

“run ’n’ gun” scenarios of most 

shooters, Gears forces you to 

creep and dive behind cover. 

But the bad guys are fast, smart 

and fully capable of flanking you 

or just blowing up your shelter. 

The key is working your squad 

as a team. And although it’s often 

promised, these AI characters 

finally seem like the real thing. 

As highly trained fighters, they 

move intelligently, follow orders 

and defend themselves. 

And moms and dads: 

Microsoft’s own promo material 

stresses that Gears of War is 

designed for gamers over 18. 

Though, really, the cover pic of 

a pockmarked grunt holding a 

giant machine gun mounted with 

a chainsaw bayonet should be 

your first clue. 

When you tire of smiting monsters, 

casting spells and collecting gold, there are 

extensive multiplayer and online features, 

including deathmatch, “capture the flag” 

and “last man standing” competitions. 

STAR TREK: LEGACY 

PC, XBOX 360 

The TV series and movies may have run out 

of dilithium crystals, but this space 

combat game takes on Trek’s entire history. 

As a Starfleet admiral, you’ll command 

more than 60 ships over the decades, 

including various models of the Enterprise. 

The focus is real-time tactical combat 

— from small-scale engagements to all-out 

war — including Kirk’s disagreement with 

Khan and Picard’s lovers’ quarrel with the 

Borg. And for the first time, every single 

lead Star Trek captain — William Shatner, 

Patrick Stewart, Avery Brooks, Kate Mulgrew 

and Scott Bakula — will lend (or rather 

sell) their voice talents.

NOVEMBER 

2006 

HOROSCOPE | BY DAN LIEBMAN 

Scorpio 

October 23 November 21 

It’s a month to aim high. Go after major 

jobs and goals, even if you think they’re 

out of your league. Your judgment is keen, 

with one exception. After the 16th, be 

careful who you take into your confidence. 

Watch out for late-month financial pitfalls. 

Sagittarius 

November 22 December 22 

Early November sees you seeking out new 

challenges — and you don’t have to look 

far. Your home environment becomes 

crowded with a flurry of surprise guests 

who arrive after the 15th. Be careful who 

you accept favours from. Many little 

strings could be attached. 

Capricorn 

December 23 January 20 

You’re tempted to back down from an 

unpopular stand, but don’t cave in. Around 

the 15th, people start to appreciate your 

position. It’s a good month for creative 

collaborations. And it’s not too early to drop 

hints about what you’d like for the holidays. 

Aquarius 

January 21 February 19 

Watch out for a tendency to pack too 

much into a crowded life. The trick is to 

discriminate when making choices. People 

can’t usually put things past you, but you’re 

a bit gullible this month. Intuition is strong 

where personal relationships are involved. 

1st: Lyle Lovett 

2nd: k.d. lang 

3rd: Dennis Miller 

4th: Matthew McConaughey

17th: Danny DeVito 

18th: Owen Wilson 

19th: Meg Ryan 

20th: Bo Derek 

Pisces 

February 20 March 20 

This is a month of reunions. You seem 

to bump into people you knew long ago, 

and a missing friend is finally located. 

Powers of persuasion are strong after the 

20th. Motivate yourself to get fit for the 

holidays. And don’t postpone visiting a 

sick or lonely friend. 

Aries 

March 21 April 20 

You’re famous for your decisive nature. 

Less known is your artistic side, which now 

comes into play. Remember that Aries is 

identified with music. 

Taurus 

April 21 May 22 

November is good for long-term planning 

and for facing important questions, 

especially ones involving a friendship. 

Keep up with developments in your field. 

You’re easily influenced during the last 

week of the month. Belated praise comes 

your way by the 30th. 

Gemini 

May 23 June 21 

Variety is the theme as you spend time

29th: Kim Delaney 

30th: Ben Stiller 


Sexy Scarlett Johansson 

turns 22 this month 

with a diverse crowd of people who range 

from the very conservative to the highly 

offbeat. A job offer is flattering, but don’t 

accept till you know what you’re getting into. 

Moneymaking ideas need more research. 

Cancer 

June 22 July 22 

It’s a good month for genealogical 

projects. Spend time getting to know your 

family — not just distant cousins, but 

some ancestors. In the world of the 

present, be sure to remind others of 

their responsibilities. And do a reality 

check of your spending habits. 

Leo 

July 23 August 22 

You relate well to people and make them 

feel comfortable in difficult situations. 

Try to help a relative become more 

independent. Take a break from being a 

show-off and let someone upstage you. An 

early start on holiday shopping lets you 

find an ideal gift — for yourself. 

Virgo 

August 23 September 22 

You get flack for being detail-oriented, but 

your attention to the little things earns 

high praise and can land you a leadership 

position. You’re also verbally gifted, and 

this is a good time to take on projects or 

enter contests that involve writing and 

public speaking. 

Libra 

September 23 October 22 

Take a greater interest in money matters, 

especially your own financial planning. You 

show a tremendous sense of style and win 

rave reviews for projects involving design. 

But you tend to be lazy in the health and 

fitness area. It’s not the time to take a 

holiday from the gym.

ABOUT THEIR 

STARS BY SUSAN GRANGER 

AMBITIONS 


LINDSAY LOHAN 

JENNIFER LOPEZ “I’d like to become 

the first female President of the United 

States — it would be fascinating. The 

first thing I would do is redecorate the 

White House. It doesn’t look very cozy.” 

SCARLETT JOHANSSON “I hope 

someday they make a videogame of me. 

At least I wouldn’t have cellulite then.” 

GWYNETH PALTROW “Everything I 

wanted to achieve, I achieved. I’m not one 

of those people who keeps raising the bar. 

Am I supposed to say I’m going to become 

the biggest movie star that ever lived? 

I don’t want to.” 

BENJAMIN BRATT “I aspire to be a 

great — not just good — father and 

husband. That’s my number one priority, 

and if I can get some good work in at the 

same time, that’s terrific.” 

TYRA BANKS “I want an empire like 

Oprah’s. I may do it with a little more 

cleavage, but I plan to get there.” 

JOHNNY DEPP “I’ve never been very 

ambitious in a sense where I went out and 

chased after a project…. Everything just 

kind of happened for me the way it 

needed to happen.” 

CAMERON DIAZ “My ambition as an 

actress is to have fun. You realize that’s a 

choice, actually — and I choose it.” 

JADA PINKETT SMITH “I wanna 

be a rock star. Who doesn’t? There’s 

nothing like that immediate gratification. 

I have a six-piece soul-fusion band, 

Wicked Wisdom, and we did a CD, toured, 

played Wembley Stadium in London.” 

ANGELINA JOLIE “I’ve always wanted to 

play Stanley Kowalski in a gay version of 

A Streetcar Named Desire.” 

“Singing. I have a five-album production deal 

with Emilio Estefan Jr. and his production company. 

I have always loved to sing and dance. I always 

looked up to Ann-Margret, who could sing and 

dance and act in movies. That’s my ambition.”
