    Anne of Green Gables has always been my favorite book/series, I grew up with it and it will always remain in my heart.

    I also loved the first and second movies by Kevin Sullivan based on the books but I hate the third movie as it wasn't even recognizable as the same series, its like he took characters from one series and transplanted them into a totally different series. Now he wants to make another movie called Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning:

    http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/show/CTVShows/20071023/anne_a_new_beginning/20071023/

    It'll be a prequel to the first movie.

    I really don't know what to think after the last movie, I almost don't want this movie to be made because I am afraid it'll ruin the first movie for me...but I'll watch it because its Anne of Green Gables....I just hope he does the Book, the Author and the characters justice this time and sticks to Lucy Maud Montgomery's vision.

    I am also a little dissapointed that Megan Fallows isn't going to reprise her role as the older Anne...ahh well...I guess I will have to wait and see.
  • Intro and DVD Questions
    Hi everyone! I'm new around here, so forgive me if this is a common set of questions. I used to watch Avonlea on the Disney Channel when I was little, and I have always absolutely loved this fantastic show. Unfortunately we didn't have the Disney Channel my whole childhood, so I didn't see most of the episodes, and often out of order.

    However, I finally found out that the DVDs are available! My question though, is that the Disney / USA version was edited, right? Someone had told me this. I really would love to purchase the whole series on DVD, but I want to make sure to get the most unedited, unaltered version possible!

    Where would I find the best DVDs for this? Is there anywhere anyone recommends to purchase them from? I am in the USA but my DVD player is regionless, so I don't mind English DVDs if that's the best versions.

    My other question is what way WAS the show edited in the USA? Was it for content or for time restrictions or what? Also, the theme song that we had here, was that the original theme that everyone else got as well? I really loved it...

    Anyway, thanks for any help! Sorry for asking such n00b questions!! It'll be awesome to learn more about this show from this community and to be part of the fandom!
  • Meeting Jonathan (again!)
    For those that may not know, Jonathan Crombie is back in the role as "Man in Chair" in The Drowsy Chaperone tour. Check out the Drowsy website to see if it is coming to you! Tuesday night I went to the opening night in the US in Cleveland (and Jonathan's first show on the tour) and was able to meet Jonathan afterward. He was super nice and actually told me to bring my nephew back to meet him when I brought him later in the week. I did that on Thursday and met him again. Again, he was amazingly nice! For those in the area he's here through the 28th. He'll be on the tour for its duration through next August so go see it!

  • Fri., August 8th, When Did You last See Your Father? at Friday, August 8, 2008 at 9:05
    Only 9 days left to see this film.

    Rated: Parental Guidance (Language May Offend, Mature Theme)
    Runs: 92 minutes
    Director: Anand Tucker
    Country: UK/Ireland
    Released: 2007
    Starring: Jim Broadbent, Colin Firth, Juliet Stevenson

    “When actors of the caliber of Colin Firth, Jim Broadbent and Juliet Stevenson are all brought together, supported by a script and direction worthy of their talents, it’s a good bet that real quality will be up on the screen. Thus, When Did You Last See Your Father?, directed by Anand Tucker (Hilary and Jackie), delivers the expected to audiences seeking intelligent, engaging entertainment with some tasteful melodramatic twists. Firth stars as Blake, a successful writer/poet with a loving wife named Kathy and two kids, who gets the grim news that his doctor dad Arthur is terminally ill. Blake returns to his family’s comfortable home in rustic Yorkshire, where he gives support to his gentle mother Kim, also a doctor, and shares the burden of watching over Arthur. Memories are aroused and fault lines revealed as Blake confronts the reality of a problematic past with his father.” - Doris Toumarkine, Film Journal International. “Broadbent is a hoot... A superior British drama.” - Empire. “It’s amazing what finely attuned directorial talent, scriptwriting finesse and superlative acting can achieve.... an emotional, often hilarious examination of those convoluted family ties with which most of us can identify in some measure.” - Richard Mowe, Box Office Magazine.

    Director: Patricia Rozema
    Country: US
    Released: 2008
    Starring: Abigail Breslin, Joan Cusack, Chris O'Donnell, Stanley Tucci.

    “Kit Kittredge is a smart, playful, informative pleasure... a gently thoughtful, audience-appropriate entertainment (directed by Canadian Patricia Rozema [Mansfield Park]) that assembles swell actors to play colorful characters who don't shy away from depicting serious hard times. Little Miss Sunshine's redoubtable Abigail Breslin is swellest of all in the title role, believable (and admirable) as an unpretentious go-getter with an open mind; when not helping Mama open their house to boarders, she investigates a local crime. Others in the nabe include Max Thieriot as a hunky young hobo, a perfectly cast Wallace Shawn as a newspaper editor, and, for screwball spin, Stanley Tucci and Joan Cusack as a traveling magician and a motoring librarian. The latter is, actually, hell on wheels.” - Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly. “A throwback to the kinds of movies they don’t make anymore... This wholesome, engaging entertainment offers something for viewers ages 7 to 107.” - Variety

  • Tue., August 5th, Fugitive Pieces at Tuesday, August 5, 2008 at 7:00
    This is the last night for this film.

    Rated: 14 Accompaniment (Sexual Content, Mature Theme)
    Runs: 105 minutes
    Director: Jeremy Podeswa
    Country: Canada/Greece
    Released: 2008
    Starring: Rosamund Pike, Stephen Dillane, Rade Serbedzija, Rachelle Lafevre

    “A lovely film that glides seamlessly between past and present, linking a little Polish boy who sees his family destroyed by the Nazis, with the same character now an adult in Toronto and obsessed with his memories. With a warm performance by Rade Sherbedgia, as a Greek who rescues him and shares his obsession with the past. But, the film argues, we must somehow seek healing or we cannot be happy.” - Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun-Times. “Hopscotching time on film is never an easy task, but Canadian writer-director Jeremy Podeswa handles it with skill and care in his lovely, absorbing adaptation of Anne Michaels' lauded novel about a circumspect writer haunted by his traumatic youth. Podeswa shifts and crisscrosses between parallel paths to tell this affecting story. The first is set during World War II after little Jakob Beer escapes from Poland to Greece with a kindly archaeologist named Athos after Nazis kill the boy's parents and abduct his sister. The second strand, set in Canada during the 1960s and '70s, charts the adult Jakob, still frozen by familial loss, as he searches for true peace and love. It's a tricky structure, but once you adjust to the film's deliberate pace and literary rhythms, there are innumerable visual and emotional pleasures to be had.” - Gary Goldstein, The Los Angeles Times. “Remarkably accomplished and moving.” - Box Office. “A work of great sensitivity and beauty” - Eye Weekly

  • Fall Busyness
    Well ... good news! At my last post, I mentioned how the doctors told me that I had to lose weight. Well, I went to see them again in October, and yes, I lost some weight. Since my visit in July, I lose 18.7 pounds. I was happy. They were happy. My parents were happy, and I was happy. The doctor at the QEII in Halifax then proceeded to tell me of the problems with my heart ....

    1.) The right side is significantly enlarged
    2.) There is even more leakage than before
    3.) One of the tubes leading into the heart is narrowed
    4.) The patch needs repairing ...

    So, in other words, I still have to concentrate on losing weight. It's been a battle. Some weeks I won't lose or gain anything, and some weeks I'll gain a pound, but to date, overall, since that first dire visit in July, I've lost 32 pounds. I am so excited. It's not that noticable (though bless his heart, one of the guys that I play poker with asked me recently if I've lost weight ... :) ), and the big teller will be on December 23RD. At that time I'll be heading over to Ottawa for Christmas and visiting my older sister. She doesn't believe that I've made a life time commitment to losing the weight, but she will see ... especially if I lose another 20 pounds!!! :)

    The next day, I went to see a doctor in Halifax about a diagnosis for having Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). The diagnosis came back affirmative, and it's a relief on my mind to finally know for sure. I wasn't that worried, after all, my mother is knowledgable on the subject, but just the having of an official diagnosis is helpful in cutting through the red tape at applying for study grants and such.

    Another good piece of news ... I've met up with a Mrs. Lorna Kirk (based in Halifax), and we are going to be working on a year long documentry on FASD.
    As I know next to nothing about video cameras, she is going to start teaching me how to use a disposable camera, then work my way up to a digital camera. So, now only will I be in the documentry, I will be part of the interview and filming process. This will be an incredible opportunity!

    I haven't done that much writing lately as I have been completing my On-the-Job training with Children's Wish here in PEI. I've edited my chapter that I've written for Alpha Omega though. Made some formatting and other changes, much better than before ... have started on chapter II, but not sure where that is going to go.

    Anyway ...

    Cheers!
  • Summer Busyness
    Well, so much has happened. It's been an incredible whirlwind of good luck, anticipation, and now it is almost over. Since I last posted, I've been hired for an awesome position, I've moved back home, and I'm working towards losing weight and adding up the kms with the walking.

    For starters, I quit my customer service representative position at Resolve Corporation. While the job itself was semi okay, the company itself didn't seem to realize what us CSRs had to deal with. Working there for over a year and a half, it's understandable that not everyone is made out to work in a call center environment. Looking back, I remember feeling justified that at around the time I quit, a lot of other people had quit, and Resolve had to do a complete major overhaul of its employees. It will be interesting to see how things work out. Call centers can be great places to work at, but for the long permanent term, call center managers must realize that CSRs will only take so much for any length of time, and eventually, they won't be able to hire such huge amounts of staff, because everyone in the vicinity will have already worked there. But anyways, that's my piece on the subject. Moving onwards ...

    And the reason for my defection at Resolve Corporation, I was hired through the Canadian Council on Rehabilitation and Work to work as their Research Coordinator here in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. The project that I'm working on is entitled "Youth Ability in Skilled Trades". This incredible position is my first 'adult' job. Given the chance to network across Canada (with all of the other research coordinators), I was able to finally put my Bachelor of Arts degree into good use. Not bad. Ten months after graduating from UPEI, and six months into my Holland College Program, I get this research position. I lost a month from my Holland College program, but as I have my UPEI degree, I feel confident that the month lost will not hurt me. I will always be getting upgrading in my education. Eventually, I hope to get my Masters in Creative Writing.

    I recently went to Halifax, Nova Scotia to get checked out by my doctors at the QEII Hospital. There, I was given a severe warning to lose weight as in October, I will be needing to see them to see when I need to go through an Open Heart Surgery. The first two months, while I was still living in town, I didn't do all that much in my diet or walking. I wasn't accepting what the doctors had said. I thought everything would be alright. As it happens, I moved back home, and since moving back home, I've had family making sure I don't waste any more time. Now that I've gotten back into the walking routine, I've clocked around 123kms since the beginning of August.

    Well, that's all that's new right now. Nothing much else to report. I'm still single, doing a little bit of writing (working on a children's series right now), and oh yes, I recently won at a weekly poker night I go to with some guys. :)


    Cheers!
  • Spring Busyness ...
    Well ... It's been interesting the last few weeks. A lot of stuff have been happening now that all of that white stuff has melted and disappeared ... knock on wood ...

    Let's see ...

    On March 28TH, I did a Fetal Alcohol Syndrom Disorder(FASD) Presentation. Spoke in front of about 200 people, thank god I wasn't the only one presenting. Rather nervous for about the first ten minutes. Spoke for 35, so it all seemed to work out. :) Was approached by two other people to do more presentations.

    Through this presentation, I was invited to participate as a board member on the FASD Provincial Advisory Group. My first meeting was yesterday, the 11th, and it went very well. Of course, I can't remember all of the names, but, I do know that in the future, we are going to start making some wonderful changes for those that have FASD. As I have FASD, it is great to see this support and the ideas that are happening through this support. Personally, I had a network of people growing up that helped me through FASD, but not everyone is as lucky as I am, so, lets hope this support can get the ball rolling and provide resources for those needing them. If wanting more information, contact me at writer_KMason@hotmail.com.

    Cheers.
  • Holland College Creative Writing Club
    So, I started a new club, and I am so excited. I have never started anything like this before, and I'm hoping against hope that it will succeed. The club, Holland College's Creative Writing Club is something I have always wanted to do. So, in December of 2005, I met with Student Services and approached them with this initiative since there hadn't been anything of that nature created in the College.

    To date, we've had three meetings, and the ideas and suggestions are gaining interest. It's incredible, an absolute high to have created this! I will be posting our work on this blog page very soon. :)
