The film – which tells the story of a teenage hockey phenom who goes from obscurity to overnight fame – also stars a slew of Canadian talent. Among those are singer/songwriter Marc Jordan (whose composing credits include Rod Stewart’s “Rhythm of My Heart” and Cher’s “Taxi Taxi”), newcomers Noah Reid and Allie MacDonald, along with cameos by music artists Nelly Furtado, Dave Bidini, Hawksley Workman and John McDermott, journalists George Stroumboulopoulos and Evan Solomon, sports anchor Steve Kouleas, hockey dad Walter Gretzky and hockey star Theo Fleury. Unlike other musicals, the story doesn’t stop just for the sake of a song. Instead, the lyrics (written by McGowan) drive the plot. There are 20 original songs, among them one called “Darryl vs. the Kid” by Barenaked Ladies, as well as “Hugs” by Olivia Newton-John, Amy Sky and Marc Jordan, and five songs on which Hawksley Workman contributed.

Ari Hoffman Dissertation Advisor: Professor Elisa New Professor Amanda Claybaugh This Year in Jerusalem: Israel and the Literary Quest for Jewish Authenticity This dissertation investigates how Israel is imagined as a literary space and setting in contemporary literature. Israel is a specific place with delineated borders, and is also networked to a whole galaxy of conversations where authenticity plays a crucial role. Israel generates authenticity in uniquely powerful ways because of its location at the nexus of the imagined and the concrete. While much attention has been paid to Israel as a political and ethnographic/ demographic subject, its appearance on the map of literary spaces has been less thoroughly considered.

  • Vic Libs Reeling Over Secret Baillieu Tape PUBLISHED: 24 JUN 2014 12:38:00 | UPDATED: 25 JUN 2014 05:58:53
    Vic Libs reeling over secret Baillieu tape PUBLISHED: 24 JUN 2014 12:38:00 | UPDATED: 25 JUN 2014 05:58:53 LUCILLE KEEN AND MATHEW DUNCKLEY An embarrassing leaked recording of former Victorian premier Ted Baillieu criticising other Liberal MPs to journalists has inflamed tensions in the party. In the recording of a conversation with an Age journalist Mr Baillieu slammed the factional divides which led to the selection of Tim Smith to contest the blue-ribbon seat of Kew at the next election. Mr Baillieu supported front bencher Mary Wooldridge in her unsuccessful tilt for the seat. Mr Baillieu also criticises MPs Michael Gidley and Murray Thompson and the conservative faction that overturned Denis Napthine as opposition leader in 2002 to be replaced by Robert Doyle. “The technique with Michael Gidley was the technique with Tim Smith,” Mr Baillieu said. He also criticised balance-of-power MP Geoff Shaw. Mr Shaw quit the parliamentary Liberal Party, citing a lack of faith in the leadership, contributing to Mr Baillieu’s resignation hours later. “Shaw has been sponsored into his position by a bunch of people from the very first day led by Bernie Finn and some crazy mates in the parliamentary team and a very senior member of the organisation who is very close to [federal MP] Kevin Andrews,” he said. Mr Shaw said Mr Baillieu can hold his own opinions but the “sad thing is he didn’t allow” his backbenchers any opinions while he was premier. He said claims about his backers were false and he was in a safe Liberal seat, “he takes for granted”.
