The UK sensation, the Arctic Monkeys, are crashing on American shores yet again to spread their punk flavor from sea to shining sea. They are supporting their breakout debut Whatever People Say That I Am, That Is What I Am Not and followup EP Who the fuck are the Arctic Monkeys. Starting on May 17th in Vancouver, the Monkeys will hit 17 cities in the US and Canada. After selling out their Austrailian dates in minutes, this promises to be a hot ticket. Look for the PM review of the Arctic Monkey's full length debut later in the week.

Grade: C+ | Genre: Comedy Summary: If you aren't up to your eyeballs in hock and want to have a pleasant, no-brainer evening out with your spouse or significant other, then go see Fun With Dick and Jane. If, on the other hand, your house is being repossessed next week, maybe you should opt for a quick rental from your local video outlet. In this remake of the 1977 comedy starring George Segal and Jane Fonda, Jim Carrey and Tea Leone try to update Watergate era financial woes with "W" era overspending. Things follow the same basic path as in the original (that in itself being a sad comment on the present day), but somewhere near the end of it all, the new version wimps out and fails to make a stand. It's not that Segal and Fonda's comic romp is a harder hitting satire, it's just that the bad guy, Ed McMahon (of all people!) at least gets his just desserts.
