He shoots, He scores: Edmonton's own Callum Keith Rennie, who got his start in a late 80's Fringe production of American Buffalo, is here with Suspicious River, the latest from director Lynn (Kissed) Stopkewich. It's a gutsy performance from Rennie, and a daring film from the Canadian director who made necrophilia, well, understandable.

Rennie now lives in L.A. and reports he's in a Tuesday/Thursday hockey league with other expatriate Canucks. Lest you think that Rennie, an actor who occasionally looks a touch like an unmade bed, has become a health-nut, it's not so. He's still smoking - at least six cigarettes over the courseof a two-beer interview - but says his 40-year old lungs are OK. Besides, he says, in his league the shifts are less than two minutes long, just the right amount of time to display some wily pond-hockey skills before catching bench time and, presumably his breath."
