Ethan Hawke

Two good kids films (though one is better for adults) and then rampant juvenilia with Hellboy

And more: the real Mary Magdalene story; the origin of Stockholm syndrome and a growing young again fantasy called Little. (Plus, three also rans).

Also: a Buddhist tale of reincarnation, watching a chaotic childhood and gagging with the horrors of war

And much more: an environmental artist, young love crashing on a beach, colonial errors in South America and a black cop’s misdeeds here in Canada

Also Canadian films get a special day (in some places a week) and a pilgrim trek suitable for Easter

And end with Terrence Malick contemplating the universe

With the jazz fest not far off, the VanCity has a doc about the troubled history of the saxophone and 3 more with jazz and blues themes.

Plus a jazz casualty, Beethoven’s 9th and angst in Hollywood and on the mating chase

Also five other new films, about Kurt Cobain, sugar, drone warfare, Arab Israelis and post-Holocaust trauma
