Off The Record

Avril Lavigne - Let Go
Many are predicting this 17-year-old from Napanee, Ont., is going to be the latest Canadian female to make it big south of the border. She was signed directly to Arista in the U.S. by label head Antonio Reid, and her pop-rock debut album hit stores Tuesday with a top 20 song blazing the way. Lavigne has an impressive, big voice reminiscent of Alanis Morissette, but it's mixed with the pop sensibility and soul-searching songwriting of youth. It proves to be a powerful combo on such songs as Losing Grip, I'm With You, and her current smash single, Complicated. Time will tell if Lavigne has the legs to be the next big thing, but for now she is cute, bubbly and fun to listen to.

 

At The Movies

Scooby Doo

Mystery Inc is fed up with the mundane aspects of their mysteries. Daphne gets captured, Velma and Fred have a plan, Shaggy and Scooby muck everything up, and, at the end, the supernatural phenomena they've been fighting is someone in a mask. After a time it gets pretty boring, and the gang breaks up. But they're called back together to solve a mystery. They go to Spooky Island, an amusement park on a tropical island, where mysterious things are happening. And this time, they have to face real supernatural forces at work with real monsters, demons and in the end, save the world. Everybody loved Scooby growing up. He's the inner goof and coward in all of us.

 

On DVD

The Mothman Prophecies

John Klein’s (Richard Gere) perfect life is disrupted when his wife swerves to avoid a strange figure in the road, and both wind up in a terrible car accident. She dies, leaving behind only some odd sketches. Although he has no idea what the unusual black, winged figure is in the drawings, the images are burned into his memories. As a couple years pass, John finds himself having to drive to conduct an interview, but instead of arriving as planned, he has somehow traveled four hundred miles in less than two hours. This is just the first of many unexplainable events. The film starts off in one direction, and throws in several more twists, before deciding to show us its cards, which is well worth the wait.
