progresses, Jam B.C. hopes to

have several regional offices —

across the province, as well as
sponsorship for local cultural
festivals and events.

Assembling Jam B.C. ha
been a labor of love for creator
and organizer Jonny Kolman.
He feels that much thought and
care has gone into this large
project. Although Jam B.C. is
relatively small, many of the
expectations of Jam B.C. will
all be seen in time. As well, of
course the site would be
nothing without the
participation of British

all possible.

Movie Review -The Saint

by Jeremy Fung

Wow two movies in a row
that I enjoyed! The Saint is
about a master thief (Val
Kilmer) who must steal the
secret of cold fusion from a
professor at Oxford (Elisabeth
Shue). The Saint employs a
myriad of disguises and high
tech devices to accomplish his
various tricks. Seeing Val the

nerd was well worth the price
of admission. The movie is
laced with subtle humour as
well as a few blatant jokes,
however, the action scenes are
decent and qualify this movie

as an action film. The Saint:

seems to have a thing against
killing, although he destroys
many peoples lives throughout

the film. The character seems
to be in constant development,
of course he pulls himself
together to make a nice cheesy
ending. Despite the few
problems and the weak ending
I recommend this movie to
anyone.
