The Cross And Bones

Umbrellas: best invention ever. We lined up again tonight, this time at the Bloor Cinema, in the pouring rain to see The Cross And Bones (hot docs | toronto.com), a documentary shot in just 15 days in Drumheller, AB. Imagine a scenario where scientists studying the dinosaur bones, Christians performing a passion play, and hundreds of bikers all gather in a town of 6,000 for a few weeks. It veered from absurd & hilarious to sad and a little depressing.

The coolest part: the two most sensible and accomodating people in the whole movie were the Jesus understudy and an enormous biker with a Fu Manchu moustache.

4 out of 5.
