In 1959-60, the distinguished Quebec actor Gilles Pelletier came to Ottawa to shoot 39 episodes of the R.C.M.P. (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) television series, co-produced by Crawley Films, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation. Pelletier, now approaching his 87th birthday, has yet to retire from acting.

Filmed in Vancouver, Final Destination 5 (2011) is a welcome return to form for this horror franchise, which started in 2000 with the excellent Final Destination. Each subsequent entry in the series declined in quality – until now.
