		The cartoon-like title (suggestive of Johnny Canuck) and intentionally cheesy effects belie the film's serious intentions: Johnny Shortwave succeeds because of the intelligence of its drama, the torment of its doubt-afflicted protagonist, the tautness of its script, and the trenchancy of its message.
		Johnny Shortwave director Michael Bockner has selected low-budget meister Roger Corman's clever, creepy cult classic -- also know as X - The Man With the X-Ray Eyes -- as a double-bill companion for his own offbeat film.
		Both he and Xavier are driven to follow a fatalistic path in a nihilistic world (in both films the future in the present), and once set on course there is no stopping their blind ambition and sense of obligation as they risk their lives for the truth.

	CANOE -- JAM! - Superhero lacks sophistication
		This latest incarnation of our wartime hero, Hurray for Johnny Canuck (from Image Theatre), is the sort of thing a 16-year-old might think up.
		Or perhaps, it's the sort of cheerful, politically incorrect entertainment that might have been put on in a community hall to raise the spirits of a war-weary population.
		The characters are familiar stereotypes (all Germans speak with sauerkraut accents) and the jokes have the subtlety of the Blitzkrieg.

		The term Canuck is first recorded about 1835 as an Americanism, originally referring specifically to a French Canadian.
		Or Canuck could be a blend of the first syllable of Canada and the Indian noun ending -uc, -uq.
		(Canadian French canaque originally meant 'canoeman'.) Or Canuck may be an Anglicization of an Indian word for a resident of a kanata, or 'village community.' The source is definitely not Johnny Canuck, since this cartoon character dates from 1869.

	Hour.ca - Stage - Johnny Canuck and the Last Burlesque
		With the experience of a former Fringe Festival executive (general manager Patrick Goddard) directing and overseeing things, Johnny Canuck and the Last Burlesque should be as tantalizing and sexy as the pictures in the article above.
		Thankfully, there was some careful thought put into the idea and with the brilliant addition of "comedians and jugglers and acrobats and knife throwing and magicians", this should be a realistic recreation of the 1940's.
		I am a friend of the actor playing Johnny Canuck (Aaron),we both graduated from Prof.Theatre at John Abbott College last year.
