Jet Li’s - Fearless By Brian Geis Pioneer Staff Movie Review: Little Miss Sunshine Little Miss Sunshine is funny. It is rare for me to laugh out loud during movies, but Little Miss Sunshine had lots of laugh-out-loud moments. I loaded the disc expecting to not like it. On the surface, it’s a dysfunctional family film with a road trip twist, but, just below the surface each character is struggling with a personal demon. The husband is struggling financially, hoping to cash in as a fad motivational speaker. The Nietzsche-obsessed son has taken a vow of silence. The plain-jane daughter aspires to win a beauty pageant. The potty-mouthed, live-in grandfather has taken up casual drug use. The suicidal uncle was just released from the mental ward and the wife and mother is struggling to keep the ship afloat. When the daughter wins entry into a pre-teen beauty pageant in California, the entire crew sets out from Arizona in an old Volkswagen bus to support her.

The Black Dahlia 3. The Descent (unrated) 4. The Last Kiss 5. The OH in Ohio tirely believable performance, especially Alan Arkin in the grandfather role. There is no weak link in the bunch. Funny man Steve Carell, of NBC's The Office and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, is great in this mostly unfunny role of the suicidal uncle, with baggy, bloodshot eyes and wrists wrapped in bandages. I love movies with a visual theme and this movie has it in spades. Little Miss Sunshine is, well, sunny. The bright, canary yellow colour of the family Volkswagen is bathed in warm oranges and reds and plays out everywhere from sunbeams to interiors and cosumes to the DVD packaging. The sad story lines juxtapose nicely against the brightly coloured backdrops. It look like the American Southwest. Anyone who has had to push start a vehicle through the duration of a road trip, myself included, will have plenty to laugh about. This DVD is rated R and, as a bonus, contains four alternate endings in the special features section. RATING: 4.5 OUT OF 5 HEADS Food bank concert a success The annual Lakeside Pub's benefit concert was held last Sunday afternoon and raised $1,575 and three boxes of food for the local food bank. "It was a full house and everybody was happy," said owner Guido Hochheiden. It was the sixth year for the popular concert which featured perfor- mances by local musicians, among them John Cronin, Bruce Childs and Fraser Smith. The master of ceremonies was Bill Cropper. The food bank is located behind the public library and is open from 1 to 2 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please remember that the food bank needs donations all year. To donate, call 342-0850.
