ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
Hit man becomes target in Belgian film

Advertiser Staff and News Services

You've seen "Rent." You've seen "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." Now see the Belgian police thriller about a hit man haunted by Alzheimer's disease.

"The Memory of a Killer" tracks a contract killer hired to protect a cadre of powerful politicians with connections to some dirty business. When our favorite hit man, Angelo, says "no" to one of the assignments ... ooh, intrigue! ... he becomes the hunted.

Films that win five Belgian Oscars probably rock. So head down to Doris Duke Theatre at 1 or 7:30 p.m today. Runs through Saturday. 532-8768.

HONOLULU GETS HIGH GRADES AS HEALTHY CITY FOR GUYS

Honolulu is the nation's second-healthiest city for men, after San Francisco, according to the latest issue of Men's Health magazine.

The publication based its rankings on such things as heart-disease rates, body-mass index and crime data, with Honolulu earning an A+ for health, B for quality of life and A- for fitness.

Men's Health also did rankings in different categories, and ranked Hawai'i No. 1 for least prostate cancer. Hurrah!
