I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Chicken! melds slap stick with the inevitable arranged marriage jab or two while ruffling the occasional f-bomb and gender bender.

Patrick Maliha has been voted favourite Vancouver comedian twice in a row, he is super nice, and yes, he holds the world record for most impressions in a minute. Impressive, I know. And in case you didn’t know he’s a beloved radio host, film critic and writer for TVW, Urban Rush contributor and well, your everyday professional comedian slash MC slash host slash... Okay, he’s a regular modern day Renaissance Man.

On Tuesday, October 10, 2006, Lauren Greenfield’s “Thin” premiered at the Granville 7 proving once again that the Vancouver International Film Festival is a celebration of intelligent cinema. Gaalen Engen of “Fellini is King!” attended the performance and had this to say…
On Saturday, October 7, Sarah Caufield, host of Monday’s No Show, saw Renaissance, one of the very few animated films at this year’s Vancouver International Film Festival. This is what she learned about the dark future of Paris in 2054, where everyone strangely speaks English.
On Saturday, September 30, Sarah Caufield, host of Monday’s No Show, saw Lunacy, the latest film by the Czech surrealist filmmaker Jan Svankmajer, presented as part of the Vancouver International Film Festival. With dancing meat and insane asylums, this is what she left with.
On Thursday, September 28, Sarah Caufield, host of Monday’s No Show, saw Tachigui: The Amazing Lives of the Fast-Food Grifters, the latest film by Oshii Mamoru, as part of the International Film Festival. But contrary to her expectations, it left a bit to be desired.
