Melbourne, May 8: 106-year-old Marjorie Hemmerde and 73-year-old Gavin Crawford are the doting pair who've proved it's never too late to fall head over heels for that special someone.

As you read this, I will be in Chicago for a reunion of those who were in my theater department at Loyola University back in the Sixties and early Seventies. The Pleistocene Era. I’ve been looking forward to the event; many of these people I literally have not seen in decades. My years at Loyola University’s Theater Department were extremely formative for me and I was gifted with many special teachers while I was there.
One won’t be there – Mary Gavin Crawford. She died a little bit more than a week ago. She, in fact, directed me the first time I ever set foot on stage. I was a sophomore in high school, having left the Catholic seminary in which I had spent my freshman year. I left because I had discovered girls.

Sometimes it pains me to say when a film is an unwatchable mess. Films like French Immersion, the directorial debut of Quebec-based producer Kevin Tierney (Bon Cop, Bad Cop, The Trotsky, Good Neighbours), has an incredible amount of talent in front of the camera and behind it. It is supposed to be a comedy about the differences between English and French speaking Canada, but instead it’s a soul-sucking train wreck full of punchlines so misguided they would make Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy think twice. Sickeningly unfunny and dreadfully “Canadian,” Tierney’s film strikes out on almost every conceivable level.
There’s enough plot and quirky characters in French Immersion to sustain a year’s worth of television pilots, but Tierney tries to pack every half baked idea he has into a single film. The film deals with five English speakers forced to enter into an intense...

Spoiler Alert! If you don’t know Snape’s fate in the Harry Potter franchise, do not watch the video below. If you do, by all means, enjoy Canadian comic Gavin Crawford’s take on Snape filming an It Gets Better video for young wizards who feel persecuted or like they do not fit in. (My jaw tightens just typing that ‘t’ in fit.)
I think Crawford could have milked the pauses in his dead-on delivery even more. But, in his defense, he did post the video on YouTube before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2 hit theaters with...

Toronto -- Emmanuelle Vaugier, Pascale Bussieres and Colm Feore are to topline the bilingual feature comedy “French Immersion,” from director Kevin Tierney.
The $6.3 million Canadian indie film about English-speaking Canadians learning French in small-town Quebec will also star Martha Burns, Gavin Crawford, Jacob Tierney, Marcel Sylvain, Quebec singer Robert Charlebois and Karine Vanasse.
Vaugier just completed a star-turn opposite Piper Perabo in the USA Network spy drama "Covert Affairs,” which is shooting in Toronto.
Vaugier is repped by Apa and Mosaic.
Feore, who is repped by the Coronel Group, is coming off star-turns in "24" and Jacob Tierney’s Canadian indie film “The Trostsky.” He is also booked for roles in Kenneth Branagh’s “Thor,” the Marvel Studios adaptation of its comic book, and the Showtime cable series “The Borgias,” which shoots in Budapest later this year.
“French Immersion” is shooting just east of Montreal, ahead of a planned July 1, 2011 theatrical release.
