Keanu Reeves blasts into theatres in John Wick

The 50-year-old actor stars as a retired hitman taking on the Russian mob

CBC News Posted: Oct 23, 2014 12:52 PM ET Last Updated: Oct 23, 2014 12:52 PM ET

Fifteen years after donning the black trench coat for the blockbuster The Matrix, Keanu Reeves is back in black and armed to the teeth in the action thriller John Wick.

The Toronto-raised actor plays the eponymous role of a retired assassin forced to get back into the game after a Russian mobster (played by Michael Nyqvist) marks him for death.

But — as Reeves recently explained to CBC News — what really sets Wick off is the home invasion killing of a puppy that was a gift from his recently dead wife.

"When that's taken away from him — stomped and killed—this impulse to reclaim, which might be vengeance or revenge [is ignited]," explained Reeves.

The film's dark and stylized action was co-directed by stunt experts, Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, who worked with Reeves on The Matrix.

Eternal Hollywood bad guy, Willem Dafoe, ​and Game of Thrones actor Alfie Allen also star.

John Wick hits theatres across Canada on Friday.

5 top picks for the imagineNATIVE film festival

If you are an avid film festival fan and you are in Toronto right now, you are in luck. The imagineNATIVE film + media arts festival is in town until Sunday.  

This celebration of indigenous film and media will showcase over 130 works representing more than 70 distinct indigenous nations from 12 different countries, including Canada.

You can show your savviness of film festivals by telling your pals that the most important indigenous film and media arts festival in the world  - in my opinion -- just turned 15. Happy Birthday, imagineNATIVE!

Or you can brag about the powerful and creative indigenous voices that are a part of this year's lineup including: DJ Bear Witness of A Tribe Called Red, Canadian novelist Joseph Boyden, as well as award winning and multi-disciplinary artist Caroline Monnet, to name a few.

Here are five films or events not be missed this year.

1: The Embargo Collective II – Closing Gala 

Sunday at 6:30PM – TIFF Bell Lightbox

The way you close a festival says a lot and imagineNATIVE is going for a strong finish this year.

The Embargo Collective II series, at this year's ImagineNative Film Festival, features five Indigenous female filmmakers from across Canada. Caroline Monnet, Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, Zoe Leigh Hopkins, Elle-Maija Tailfeathers and Lisa Jackson. (ImagineNative)

"I'm excited to see the Embargo Collective on closing night of the festival - indigenous women's voices in cinema need to be heard more often and this is an incredible collection of filmmakers and works," says Ryan McMahon, the man behind the popular Red Man Laughing podcast. 

The Embargo Collective II series features five indigenous female filmmakers from across Canada. This highly anticipated evening will begin with world premieres for each of the five films, and conclude with an in-depth and in-cinema panel with the directors: Caroline Monnet, Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, Zoe Leigh Hopkins, Elle-Maija Tailfeathers and Lisa Jackson

2. Storytellers Screening

Saturday at 3:00PM – Tiff Bell Lightbox

If you are looking to be engaged as a writer, a filmmaker, an actor, or just as an audience member this session will bring a new level of live multimedia performance you won't get anywhere else.

This two-part event features an author and filmmaker collaborating in what imagineNATIVE calls a "storyteller screening". 

Author and activist Maria Campbell collaborates with filmmaker Shane Belcourt, and literary star Joseph Boyden teams up with master of animation Terril Calder

It's followed by an in-depth panel discussion with all the artists, hosted by CBC Aborigireporter, Connie Walker.

3. Kaha:wi: The Cycle of Life – World Premiere  

Thursday at 7:30PM - Tiff Bell Lightbox

Kaha:wi: Cycle of Life; it's a cinematic dessert for the eyes, a dance film focusing on performer & choreographer Santee Smith, who tells traditional Iroquois legends through contemporary dance. (Still from Kaha:wi: Cycle of Life)

I had the pleasure of being on the set for Kaha:wi: Cycle of Life; it's a cinematic dessert for the eyes, a dance film focusing on  performer & choreographer  Santee Smith, who tells traditional Iroquois legends through contemporary dance.

"Because Santee is a majestic powerhouse and everyone in her entourage is stunning, my first-time dance film was reduced to: 'keep in focus'," says director Shane Belcourt.

I'm so excited to see how it has come together. I'll be front row centre this Thursday, (Popcorn in hand, of course).

4. Australia Spotlight VI: Shorts II

Sunday at 3:45PM – TIFF Bell Lightbox

This year's international spotlight shines on the land down under.

Online and on-the-go. Download the imagineNATIVE app to stay connected to the festival from your living room in Calgary, or on the streetcar in downtown Toronto. Follow on twitter: Hashtag #iN15th.

This collection of shorts brings some amazing directors and award-winning films to the festival including: Frankie's Story, winner of three Australian film institute awards, and two films directed by Tyson Mowarin, who received the Troy Alberts Award for Excellence in Cinematography.

There is a deep connection with imagineNATIVE and Australia. I caught up with the founder of imagineNATIVE, Cynthia Lickers-Sage, who pointed out that imagineNATIVE was shaped by its early Australian influences such as Pauline Clague, who curated this collection of shorts.

It's easy to see why more than one person will be saying: Aussie Aussie Aussie!

5. Indigo (TIFF Official Selection) opening for the world premiere of The Lodge

Thursday at 5:15PM – Tiff Bell Lightbox

Stop-motion film has always been fascinating to me,  I am drawn to the creative mastery that flows from thousands of frames onto the big screen.

This one-two powerhouse punch of stop-motion films has my attention and my vote as a must see event!

Indigo is directed by Amanda Strong, who was named one of "Six emerging aboriginal artists in Canada who are inspiring change" by the National Post. Indigo was an official selection for the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival and Strong has created a lot of buzz around the film scene for her animation brilliance, dream like imagery and traditional storytelling.

"I am honoured and humbled to be opening for the amazing Terril Calder's first stop-motion feature film The Lodge," says Amanda Strong.

The Lodge is director Terril Calder's first full-length feature in the festival, with previous works playing at imagineNATIVE over the years and at festivals worldwide.

Now that you've got my list, comment, like, share; let me know what are you looking forward to. I'll see you at the movies!

Rosie O'Donnell's remarks on Ottawa shooting draw criticism online

The View co-host Rosie O'Donnell is drawing criticism online for remarks about Wednesday's deadly shooting in Ottawa.

Thursday's episode of the chat show kicked off with the panellists discussing the attack on Parliament Hill and the killing of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo of Hamilton as he stood guard at the National War Memorial.

The Ottawa shootings came just two days after two Canadian soldiers were run over — one of them fatally — in Quebec by a man with jihadist sympathies.

As The View panellists discussed whether Wednesday's shootings were an act of terrorism, O'Donnell said "most of these shooters have severe mental illness" and then expressed support for a controversial tweet about the shooting from model Chrissy Teigen, who used the tragedy in Ottawa to make a point about U.S. gun control.

• On mobile? Read Crissy Teigen's tweet here

On Wednesday, Teigen tweeted: "active shooting in Canada, or as we call it in America, Wednesday." She then clarified in a follow-up tweet: "Sorry you don't understand that is a knock at America and our issues with gun control. No one is minimizing the Ottawa shooting."

"I thought it was brilliant and on-point, but some people thought it was insensitive," O'Donnell said of Teigen's tweet.

"Timing is everything," responded ABC News anchor Amy Robach, who was on the panel. "And I think when you tweet something like that in the middle of an active shooting, people are afraid, people are running for their lives and a man is dead."

Crissy Teigen, has since quit Twitter, announcing Thursday "I feel sick. Bye Twitter. Taking my talents to instagram." (Michael N. Todaro/Getty Images)

Co-host Nicolle Wallace also challenged O'Donnell, saying: "I know it's important to you that mental health is always raised as a possible, unaddressed cause. It's also possible that he was an evil terrorist, OK? So I don't want that to get lost.

"The Canadian government has classified this as a terrorist attack. The definition of terrorism is arbitrary violence and death rendered on innocent people who are just doing their jobs."

"I get it," replied O'Donnell. "But 86 people a day are killed in America with guns, and you know what? That is terrorism here."

O'Donnell then further backed up Teigen's tweet.

"I think she's saying: I'm an American, I live here. I see two people shot this week in Canada and the entire country of Canada is in mourning. However, in America this happens on a daily day basis and we don't even pay attention anymore."

On Twitter, some users expressed anger over O'Donnell's remarks.

Teigen, who also experienced a social media backlash because of her tweet, has since quit Twitter, announcing Thursday, "I feel sick. Bye Twitter. Taking my talents to Instagram."

The gripping jazz music drama, written and directed by Damien Chazelle, centres on the pair's twisted dynamic and hammers on the fine line between passion and obsession.

"It's a case of Stockholm Syndrome set to a killer beat," says CBC film critic Eli Glasner. "A battle of wills that doesn't let go until the very last shot."

The Walking Dead's Laurie Holden describes her role in Colombian sex slave sting

Laurie Holden became famous playing the brave civil rights lawyer, Andrea, on the hit TV series The Walking Dead. But offscreen, the Canadian-raised actress recently took on the role of a lifetime.

Earlier this year, she took part in an undercover operation that resulted in the rescue of 55 sex slaves in Colombia, some as young as 12.

"I had a pretty good disguise — I had a wig and glasses," said Holden in an interview with CBC News.

Her role in the sting was to keep the young girls distracted as armed authorities closed in on their traffickers.

"We pretended we were having a big bachelor party, so my role was the girlfriend of one of the rich Americans, so I kind of had to sell them and the traffickers on the idea that I was a party girl, that I was there to have a good time with the guys."

'We have to protect those who can't protect themselves and it's not about writing a cheque.'- Laurie Holden on her work protecting victims of child sex traffickers

Holden was one of a handful of civilian volunteers who participated in the sting, orchestrated by a non-governmental organization, Operation Underground Railroad, and Colombian authorities.

They contacted Holden because they knew she had done similar work in Cambodia and Vietnam, though those were smaller operations and never involved armed personnel. 

Operation Underground Railroad is founded by the former CIA investigator Tim Ballard. It specializes in rescuing victims of child sex trafficking, often in cooperation with local authorities.  

Under Colombian laws, money must be exchanged before legal action can be taken against sex traffickers. So, Ballard and his team set up a fake bachelor party at a mansion they rented in Cartagena, Colombia.

Holden and another female volunteer had to gain the trust of young girls as their traffickers delivered them as "entertainment" for the party.

"When you've been sexually abused, no matter how wonderful they are, there is a fear of a man," said Holden.

"I think having myself and this other lovely woman, Krista, who is a cross-fit trainer, we were like the motherly figures who were able to comfort them."

Laurie Holden is best known for her role in AMC's horror hit, The Walking Dead. Her character Andrea was eaten by a zombie last season. (AMC)

Holden and her peers' mission was captured on undercover cameras and shown on ABC's documentary show Nightline.

Since her character on The Walking Dead was killed in the last season of the show, she's getting more scripts than ever, but the actress says the Colombian mission won't be her last.

She says her work in rescuing victims of child sex trafficking is much more meaningful. "We live in a cynical world and there's so much emphasis on money and success," said Holden. "All that fame is great but, you know, why are we here?" 

"We have to protect those who can't protect themselves and it's not about writing a cheque. That's great, but I've seen [child sex trafficking] firsthand and I can't get it out of my head, I'm just going to keep going until the day I die."

Watch Holden talk about the issue in the video above.

Best new movies and videos for week of Oct 20: The Watchlist

In Theatres

St. Vincent  - Bill Murray's newest film is a sentimental and overly manipulative story. So, why did I find myself tearing up at the end? Probably because Bill can find the soul of any character (I mean, this is the man who gave heart to cartoon furball, Garfield.) Here, he stars as Vin, a grumpy sourpuss veteran enlisted to babysit the kid next door. The film is a remarkable and assured beginning for first time director, Theodore Melfi. (full review)

Gone Girl - Sure, you could go watch Brad Pitt blow away Nazis (again) in Fury, but if you want a movie meal that will stick to your ribs (and psyche), Gone Girl is a bro-tastic buffet of outrageous behaviour and carefully observed filmmaking. It's got a plot that ties the audience in knots, plus Tyler Perry plays a criminal lawyer you just can't get enough of. (full review)

The Book of Life - Leave it to producer Guillermo del Toro​ to give us an animated movie where the main characters look like misshapen wooden marionettes. But it's the unusual nature of the characters that is a big part of the story's charm. Set in a Mexican village, the plot centres on Manolo and Joaquin and their fight for the affections of Maria. But the struggle between the singer and soldier gets complicated by some visitors from the afterlife. Awkward musical choices hurt the cultural aesthetic, but the Day of the Dead has never been so lively.

The Guest - Lean mean and packed with thrills to spare, The Guest is a smart scary ride starring Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens. Stevens plays military man David, who befriends the family of fallen soldier Caleb Peterson,  with his Ken doll looks and killer smile. But, as the visitor begins burrowing into the Peterson's lives, emo girl Anna begins digging into David's background. Horror director Adam Wingard twists the tension by filling the frame with wide open skies and a pulsing soundtrack​

The bamboo cutter and his wife welcome their discovery in Isao Takahata's The Tale of Princess Kaguya (Studio Ghibli)

​The Tale of Princess Kaguya - Isao Takahata, co founder of Studio Ghibli, has delivered an animated movie the looks like a living watercolour in this interpretation of a Japanese folk tale about a bamboo cutter. What begins as a beautiful baby, discovered in a bamboo grove, grows into a young woman with the power to drive princes and emperors mad with envy. In many ways, it's a simple tale about the tension between nature and man's desires — a common theme in Studio Ghibli productions. While the tale takes its time unwinding, it is an absolutely enchanting place to visit. 

On video, Netflix or VOD

Irrfan Khan stars as a widowed accountant seduced by his senses in The Lunchbox. (Michael Simmonds/Sony Pictures Classics)

The Lunchbox (new to Netflix) - A delicious treat to wash away the taste of overcooked love stories, The Lunchbox is a film to savour but don't watch this one on an empty stomach. Set in Mumbai, the film revolves around the relationship between a neglected housewife and a widowed accountant. The Lunchbox captures the colour and characters of bustling Mumbai but also the ache of two lonely souls in a city of millions. I'll give you my Glasner Guarantee© on this one. Not to be missed. (full review)

Snowpiercer - A sci-fi parable about the class system trapped in a catastrophic super train circling the globe. Snowpiercer is the ultimate movie mash-up: a disaster film and apocalyptic thriller starring an international mix of stars directed by South Korea's Bong Joon-ho. What stops this giant metaphor from spinning off the tracks is inspired art direction and a story that takes no prisoners. Bloody good fun. (full review)

Earth to Echo - At first glance, Earth to Echo may look like a film filled with gimmicks: E.T. for the iPhone generation. But behind the found footage and YouTube references you'll find a carefully observed story about how it feels to be a kid in 2014. The awkward ones. The forgotten ones. Goonies for millennials, Earth to Echo is a film worth discovering.

Wilko Johnson, British guitarist, says he's cancer-free after terminal diagnosis

The 67-year-old ex-Dr. Feelgood member says doctors had given him months to live in 2012

CBC News Posted: Oct 23, 2014 8:32 AM ET Last Updated: Oct 23, 2014 8:32 AM ET

British guitarist Wilko Johnson says he is free of cancer, two years after being told he had months to live.

The former member of blues-rockers Dr. Feelgood launched what he said would be a farewell tour after his diagnosis in 2012 of incurable pancreatic cancer. He also recorded a "final" album with Roger Daltrey of The Who.

He told The Associated Press at the time that the diagnosis had made him feel "intensely alive" and renewed his creativity.

Accepting a trophy Wednesday at the Q Awards, 67-year-old Johnson said he had undergone radical surgery to remove a 3-kilogram tumour. He said: "They cured me."

Johnson said he hoped to go back on the road soon, "and the moral of the story is you never know what's going to happen."

Renee Zellweger, Oscar winner, 'glad' people notice she looks different

Bridget Jones actor Renee Zellweger has responded to the social media storm over her radically altered face, attributing it to a more peaceful, healthier lifestyle.

"I'm glad folks think I look different," the 45-year-old told People magazine Wednesday. "I'm living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I'm thrilled that perhaps it shows."

Renee Zellweger turned heads when she walked the red carpet Monday in Hollywood with her boyfriend, recording artist Doyle Bramhall. (Jason Merritt/Getty Images for ELLE)

Zellweger surprised fans when she stepped out Monday night with her dramatically different look, sparking speculation she has had cosmetic surgery.

She was accompanied by her boyfriend, recording artist Doyle Bramhall.

Zellweger didn't admit to going under the knife, but told People that the talk about her face was "silly," and she felt she needed to confront the maelstrom because "the folks who come digging around for some nefarious truth which doesn't exist won't get off my porch until I answer the door."

Cold Mountain Oscar winner Rene Zellweger put another face forward in 2003. She says she took on a schedule that wasn't 'realistically sustainable and didn't allow for taking care of myself.' (Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images)

"My friends say that I look peaceful. I am healthy," Zellweger explained in the article. "For a long time I wasn't doing such a good job with that. I took on a schedule that is not realistically sustainable and didn't allow for taking care of myself. Rather than stopping to recalibrate, I kept running until I was depleted and made bad choices about how to conceal the exhaustion."

The Texas-born star broke onto the Hollywood scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s with a string of box office hits, including the Tom Cruise romantic comedy Jerry Maguire​ and 2001's Bridget Jones's Diary.

She won further critical acclaim, and an Academy Award, for her role in the 2003 civil war epic Cold Mountain.

Her career seems to have slowed in recent years which, she says, has given her a more relaxed lifestyle. 

"I did work that allows for being still, making a home, loving someone, learning new things, growing as a creative person and finally growing into myself," said Zellweger, "People don't know me in my 40s."

"Perhaps I look different. Who doesn't as they get older? Ha! But I am different. I'm happy."

Top 10 indigenous films of all time

First of all, let me say that lists of the top ten anything — while not without value in reducing topics to easily debated clickbait — are a pain when you're the one making the list.

When agreeing to this assignment I understood that the making of such a list would necessitate leaving films and perhaps more importantly, filmmakers, that I love off the list, but knowing that has not made it easier.

Here are 10 (technically 11, but whatever) amazing films that are a great starting point for a journey into indigenous cinema history, but it is, of course far from complete.

Indigenous cinema, at least in its contemporary form, is only 40 years old, and the fact that there are films to be left off a list like this is testament to its rapid development and to the artists who have taken up the camera to tell our stories.

1. Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner (Canada)

The first Inuktitut language feature is also the most important film in Canadian history, bringing epic film making to a Northern legend. It won Official Selection at the 2001 Cannes International Film Festival, and remains the highest grossing indigenous film in Canadian history.

(National Film Board of Canada)

​​2. Bastion Point Day 507/Incident at Restigouche (New Zealand/Canada)

These two activist documentaries were often paired on the festival circuit and are among the most important films in contemporary indigenous cinema.  Directors Merata Mita and Alanis Obomsawin seemingly willed indigenous cinema into life with these two endlessly fascinating historical documents. 

3. Bedevil (Australia)

Tracey Moffat's dreamscape/ghost story began indigenous cinema's move away from traditional cinematic narrative structures and remains an under seen masterpiece.

4. The Dead Lands (New Zealand)

Toa Fraser's martial arts epic is bloody and bold, recreating pre-contact New Zealand and featuring remarkable, bone crunching performances. Coming soon to a cinema near you!

5. Four Sheets to the Wind (U.S)

Sterlin Harjo's gripping feature is a descendant of Smoke Signals, portraying contemporary Indigenous life with an unflinching eye and open heart. It won a Special Jury Prize at Sundance for Tamara Podemski's remarkable performance.

6. Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance (Canada)

Alanis Obomsawin's documentary epic chronicles the Oka Crisis in Quebec and helped shift the dialogue around Indigenous issues in Canada and globally. It was the first documentary to ever win the Best Canadian Feature award at the Toronto International Film Festival.

7. Once Were Warriors (New Zealand)

Lee Tamahori's ferocious and exhilarating portrait of an urban Maori family was the first indigenous feature to have a truly global presence. Among the highest grossing films in New Zealand history.

8. Rhymes for Young Ghouls (Canada)

Jeff Barnaby's debut feature brings the anger to indigenous cinema, a clarion call for both the cinematic community and the indigenous community. A director to watch for years to come.

9. Samson and Delilah (Australia)

Warwick Thornton's Camera D'or winner is a searing depiction of modern life in Australia and a marvel of naturalism and restrained storytelling.

10. Smoke Signals (U.S)

Chris Eyre's road movie based on Sherman Alexie's screenplay is a touchstone for indigenous cinema, bringing humour to a story of contemporary Indigenous life. Also features the core of young performers such as Adam Beach, Michelle St. John, Irene Bedard and Gary Farmer who would go on to star in numerous other films in the ensuing years.

So while I believe these films are all amazing, there are more not listed here — Ten Canoes, Charlie's Country, Patu!, Barking Water, Trudell, Before Tomorrow, Mohawk Girls —​ and more every year, in large part thanks to the festivals like ImagineNative. 

This article was initially published in Muskrat Magazine. It was edited and republished with permission.

Let us know what your top indigenous films are via CBC Aboriginal on Facebook, or on Twitter @cbc_aboriginal.
