The event, a People of Faith Lobbying Day sponsored by the American Friends Service Committee and Michigan Equality, began with a morning lecture presented by Hope College professor of psychology and author David Myers. Myers is co-author of a the book “What God Has Joined Together? A Christian Case for Gay Marriage.” The book explores the connections between gay marriage supporters and connects the issue to the large conservative movement to save marriage.
After debunking numerous myths, including that homosexuals can change their sexual orientation, Myers went on to discuss the Bush’s push for the anti-gay marriage amendment.
Myers argues the church and society is in the process of changing. “The church has moved from polygamy to monogamy, from arranged to romantic marriage, from shunning interracial marriage to accepting it, and from disciplining divorced people to accepting them,” the scholar said.
“The church is a hospital for sinners. We’re all broken in some way,” he said, concluding his arguments that gay marriage was important to the community as a whole, not just LGBT people.
Following Professor Myer’s speech, the group was encouraged to visit their representatives and senators.
“The real value of what you’re doing today is putting a face on our issues,” said Kate Runyon, director of the AFSC’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues Program.

The flames reach higher than ever before in the sanctuary that is our collective faith. For the last several years people on all sides of the bonfire have fanned the flames, called others names, and further dug into their positions. Conservatives have condemned while Progressives have conjured up their own way of hating. All in all, it’s pretty sad.
In making Stained Glass Rainbows I walked around the bonfire and interviewed people on all sides. I spoke with a lesbian minister, a gay pastor, a conservative theologian, members of Westboro Baptist Church (the God Hates Fags group), ex-lesbians, ex-gays, gay Christian rock musicians, and people ministering to the LGBT community… and in the film I let their voices be heard.

Hailed as “a model of intelligent directing,” It’s Elementary shows that children are eager and able to wrestle with stereotypes and absorb new facts about what it means to be gay or lesbian.
Since it aired on more than 100 public television stations in 1999, It’s Elementary has fueled a growing movement of educators and parents — gay and straight alike — who are committed to preventing pervasive homophobia and anti-gay violence. The film shows what happens when kids in kindergarten through eighth grade discuss lesbian- and gay-related topics in age-appropriate ways. Shot in six public and private schools, It’s Elementary models excellent teaching about family diversity, name-calling, stereotypes, community building and more.
It’s Elementary has won numerous awards, has been acquired by nearly 3,000 educational institutions, and has received widespread acclaim from educators, policymakers, parents and religious leaders. Not surprisingly, It’s Elementary has also been relentlessly condemned by the conservative right.
Since its release, the producers have run a remarkably successful grassroots distribution campaign, intended to make It’s Elementary accessible to every conceivable type of institution working with children today. Through this effort, the film has had an unprecedented impact, creating a tidal wave of activism and public dialogue about addressing lesbian and gay issues in schools.

P-FOX encourages parents to blame one another — not biology — for their children’s sexual orientation. The organization warns its antigay parents (few of whom have ex-gay children) against trusting mainstream mental-health professionals to treat what is often the underlying cause of their children’s struggles: Depression and low self-esteem. Depression is viewed instead as a tool to make people unhappy enough with themselves to submit to abusive ex-gay programs.
P-FOX also dissuades parents from listening to their teen and adult children who have survived spiritual and emotional abuse under unprofessional and judgmental ex-gay counselors. Instead, P-FOX encourages parents to make life more difficult for ex-gay survivors, in the hope that escalating ostracism from family will force the survivor to resubmit to ex-gay abuse.

Yet the debate over child-rearing is entirely beside the point, because Proposition 8 is about marriage only.

I heard a lot of rhetoric about gay and lesbian Americans that didn’t fit with what I know to be true and what many Republicans believe. As an evangelical Christian Republican, I know many people who hold conservative values like equality and freedom, but those voices were lost this year. However, I believe in my heart that things are changing. If it weren’t for the loud voices of a few in our party, I do believe more Republicans would stand up in support of marriage equality.

A visitor helping with yard work told Barton that her relationship was "an abomination in the eyes of the Lord." A bagger with whom she used to exchange friendly chit-chat at her grocery store was offended when she came out to him.
Barton, a professor of sociology and women's studies at Morehead State University uses pseudonyms for the people and town in her book, but her small town of "Thomasville" sounds much like Winchester, where she lives.
The question she tries to answer in the book is one that splits many families when gay children announce their sexuality: "Why not make the way easier for your child as opposed to making it harder?"
Despite much of the initial bitterness between parents and a gay child, Barton said, "most people found that their relationships with their parents got better over time."
Still, she said, her experiences with gays and lesbians in the Bible Belt showed her there are some cultural differences in how the announcement of sexual orientation is handled.
"The rural stuff has its own unique flair," Barton said. "The isolation accentuates the homophobia."
She advises students who come out to her to be very careful about how much information they divulge to their parents, especially if they are still financially dependent on them. Barton also urges gay students "to be self-affirming, to find community."

It easily ranks among the most adventurous programs in Festival of the Arts’ history.
He then transitioned into the video portion of the program, beginning with one of his earliest collaborative experiences, on Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue. This alone was worth the price of admission—Dylan wailing in whiteface, a demented carnival barker fronting the heaviest rock ‘n’ roll show of his career. Then we had Roy Orbison’s star-studded Cinemax special, “Black and White Night;” clips from Burnett’s film-music contributions to “The Big Lebowski,” “O Brother, Where Art Thou,” “Walk the Line” and others; and his more-recent contributions to the Dylan-penned “New Basement Tapes” and to Aretha Franklin’s rousing rendition of “Higher Ground” at the White House in 2015.
Burnett’s oeuvre is unimpeachable. Seeing it realized in this eclectic clip show and hearing his reflections on it helped foster, in me at least, a new appreciation for film music. I’ve been reviewing movies since high school, often focusing so disproportionately on script and direction that the intricacies of the soundtrack would receive short shrift.

Lamar was invited for his contributions to the incredible soundtrack for “Black Panther,” which has seen both commercial and critical success.

It's been a decade since the Art Fund and the UK's national museums campaigned for free admission – and what a success it's been! Over 50 million people have visited the UK's national museums last year alone.
However, as the Art Fund's Director Stephen Deuchar wrote in The Independent this week, "...have we missed a trick? You have to pay up to €10 to visit the Louvre, and yet a staggering 8.5 million people did just that last year. That amounts to a lot of revenue. Indeed, universal free access comes at a price. In dropping entry charges, museums have lost a revenue stream that they've had to replace from elsewhere."
In a time of economic recovery it is not only difficult for museums and galleries to generate funding for new acquisitions and curatorial skills but is also even more important our museums and galleries offer free access to the public. Free admission also helps attract £4.5 billion worth of spending by inbound visitors.

Dang, I almost wish it was fewer discs just so it could be less expensive. Haven't ordered or heard, but I hope it'll be worth it.
The soundtrack is quite padded out, Tanaka's map themes always come in day/night variations while Sakuraba's dungeon/battle themes come in normal/action variations. Especially the latter is presented very badly on the soundtrack since in-game the two variations can change back and forth at any time, representing the state of the battle. This means both variations have to have the same length, same basic structure and Sakuraba was apparently forced to stay in 4:4 rhythm all the time (taking away most of his usual rhythmic charms). As a result on the soundtrack the separated variations with typical Sakuraba track lengths likely sound droning to those who don't like the style he was asked to do there. The length alone will ensure there won't be many fans which I find that unfortunate since the game soundtrack (in-game, not so much the soundtrack release) is quite unique in approach and execution (like the whole game actually).

Since as far back as the 30s, movies have been casting white actors in Asian, African-American, Hispanic, and Native American roles to an offensive extent. Despite the acknowledgment of this on numerous occasions, the trend has continued up until today. 40 to 50 years ago, while shameful, it made sense; segregation was still a reality, and the idea of racial sensitivity was a relative unknown. But to see it today is inexcusable, making it that much more baffling when Emma Stone was cast as an Asian-American and Hawaiian character in Cameron Crowe’s Aloha.
The controversy surrounding Stone’s casting became the most talked-about aspect of Aloha upon its release, leading many wonder what Crowe was thinking. Why even try and pretend Emma Stone is anything but white? For one, it’s not like there’s a line around the block of A-list Asian/Hawaiian actors that could provide top billing for the role in lieu of Stone. Given that Cameron Crowe also wrote the movie in addition to directing, he didn’t have the role anything but white. But he chose to anyway, knowing full well that he’d have to cast someone white anyway. Here we have the core problem in Hollywood.
There’s no point in writing a minority role with a white actor in mind. It’s rarely (ever) ended in anything but an offensive and flat performance, and is never worth the controversy it inevitably drums up. Johnny

But, the thing that's the most impressive about this casting is that Disney cast a person of color to actually play a person of color.

Overall, some 52 percent of Germans told the pollsters they approve of the way the police handled the situation at Cologne’s main railway station. The mass police effort, involving over 3,000 officers, was aimed at to prevent by all means the rerun of the chaos into which the last year celebrations descended after hundreds of men of North African and Arab appearance allegedly robbed and assaulted local women, as reported by the victims.
Only 8 percent of respondents sided with the viewpoint that “some of the measures by police were so problematic that I assess police operation generally critical.” Critics consider the move to bear signs of racial discrimination.
The poll has also revealed the sharp difference of opinion between different generations of Germans, notably between those from 18 to 29 years and those aged 60 and older.

However, according Gunn senior Arman Moleshi, who plays Usnavi, the show’s lead, while Gunn’s cast was comprised of 60 students, only three were Hispanic.
“Heights” is one musical where race is obviously at the forefront of the plot. So when Gunn, a school with an eight percent Hispanic population chose to perform it, I was taken aback.

Likewise, historians have often worked implicitly and explicitly with larger geo-political regions such as the Caribbean, Central America or the idea of America writ large. While it was once possible to assume these regional identities were a priori categories, scholars have now made clear that regions were the product of political struggles and contestations over meanings, boundaries, and exclusions. These sub- and supra-national identities have long forced historians to problematize the conceit of nationalist narratives. Indeed, scholars have now moved beyond the notion that regional affiliations and identities were hindrances to national cohesion and the related teleological notion of the nation-state that posited that regional affinities would ultimately fade away with the final triumph of the nation-state. Yet, what these regions meant varied significantly over time and across social actors. Sometimes regional identities were loudly announced by actors seeking a national or even global stage. At other times, they were shrouded in secrecy and have been buried in the archival record.

Unfortunately, across the nation and here in San Diego and Imperial counties, patterns of racial profiling, the selective enforcement of laws against people of color, and disturbing traffic- and pedestrian-stop policies have resulted in a disproportionate effect on communities of color and poorer communities.

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed on Monday that the Jane the Virgin actor will star in and produce Somebody Great, a story about a woman (Rodriguez) who undergoes a devastating breakup. Rather than wallow in her sorrows, she rounds up her best friends and causes all kinds of trouble around New York City before moving across the country for a fresh start and a new job. Don't just settle for a new haircut when you could have a brand-new life, girl!
If you're not into super sappy romance flicks, you're likely in luck with Somebody Great. The film, which will be directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, boasts an impressive list of producers, including Paul Feig and Jessie Henderson (Ghostbusters), Anthony Bregman (Our Idiot Brother), and Peter Cron (American Ultra).
Robinson celebrated the news of her directorial debut on Twitter.
"I always wanted to watch a romantic comedy where a woman could be her own white knight. A movie that's central love story revolves around female friendship. And now I get to make one," she wrote. "To be on this journey with @PaulFeig, @HereIsGina and @Netflix is a dream come true."
Though many details surrounding the film have yet to be released, we couldn't be more thrilled by its promise to portray a Latina woman as someone who's simultaneously strong, vulnerable, independent, and driven.

But this was not about a career change, just a fun thing to do with my grownup son.
Central Casting of Burbank has been discovering actors since 1925. Mug shots of famous people were posted all over the walls in the large office where we waited for an information session. Since Hollywood is always looking for fresh faces, I thought just maybe I could get a gig.
The 75 people waiting definitely skewed on the young side, with most applicants ranging under 35. Some had been there before, others were dressed up for a character role. You could tell there were a few starving actors, including some who just wanted the paycheck of roughly $13 per hour.
It immediately became clear that extras are clearly the low people on the movie-making totem pole. Most jobs involve being in an audience or group, walking in the background, playing friends or co-workers, sometimes you barely will be seen…if at all. There are no lines.

The 23rd Screen Actors Guild Awards brought trophies to Fences&apos; primary pair of actors, Denzel Washington and Viola Davis, as well as Moonlight&apos;s Mahershala Ali and the ensemble cast of Hidden Figures. The wins continue this award show&apos;s trend of rejecting the exclusivity of awards season — and Hollywood in general.
Yet beyond the wins themselves, which give momentary feelings of thrill, there was a bigger movement happening throughout the night — one Davis zeroed in on in her acceptance speech as she paid tribute to Fences playwright August Wilson.
"What August did so beautifully is he honored the average man who happened to be a man of color," Davis said. "Sometimes, we don&apos;t have to shake the world and move the world and create anything that is going to be in the history book. The fact that we breathed and live a life and was a god to our children, just that means we have a story and it deserves to be told. We deserve to be in the canon, in the center of any narrative that&apos;s written out there."
Davis is emphasizing what the SAG voters endorsed: that the ordinary of black lives is as worthy of attention as the extraordinary. Stories like 12 Years a Slave are vital. Telling the untold tales like in Hidden Figures is necessary. But an ordinary man, like Fences&apos; Troy Maxson, is deserving of attention, too.

The determination is aimed at making the reliability and emergency reserve trader a more effective emergency instrument to manage the risk of power disruption to households and businesses in circumstances like extreme weather events.
The changes are designed to allow AEMO the flexibility to procure power supplies for use in emergencies at minimum cost to households and large and small businesses.

Acute injuries to the musculo-skeletal system can be helped with detailed osteopathic intervention. The shock to tissues and nerve endings can be calmed with osteopathic techniques, enabling a better healing response. Strain to joints and muscles can then begin to unwind and resolve in optimum conditions.
Often when problems are persisting in the musculo-skeletal system, it is due to other areas and tissues that may not be directly related to the problem area but they may influence it mechanically and prevent the area from resolving. It is this view of the body as a unit that enables Osteopaths to understand complex pain and dysfunction patterns. Tissue strain can be traced through various areas, enabling problem determination and resulting in resolution.
It must be remembered that if there is any type of tissue damage i.e. bleeding, fractures, and serious sprains or strains, these must first be investigated and treated first by Accident & Emergency at the hospital. Osteopathy can help with the healing process once the injured site has been stabilised.
Advice on changes involving exercise regimens which take into account of damaged areas is crucial and the Osteopath is happy to communicate these needs with personal trainers.

Naming just 100 greats is no easy task - how can Half-Life 2's pitch-perfect storytelling be compared to Doom's interplay of tension and player power? But through sheer determination and plenty of shouting, we've managed to narrow the nearly endless supply of shooters down to 100 must-play picks.
All the shooters on this list must all obviously exhibit very high overall quality. Other considerations for inclusion include legacy and influence on the genre; popularity; historical quality (was it incredible at the time?); modern quality (does the experience hold up?); and lastly pure editorial preference.
These are the top 100 video game shooters of all time.

The boys were really spoilt as they enjoyed the best snow conditions for 30 years. Although the snow was about 3 metres deep, it did not seem to cause any problems for the locals compared to the chaos that followed the 3cm we had in Liverpool before half-term.
Most of the group were beginners but made rapid progress thanks to the expert tuition they received. In addition the boys showed real determination and skill to master the challenging red runs that crisscrossed the slopes.
The advanced group shared a real sense of achievement on the final day when everyone managed to ski down the almost sheer black run from the glacier that over looks the valley without mishap.

No room should be given for tyranny to triumph under the pretext of protecting ‘national interest’. It is at the background of this principled position that I wish to contribute to the debate on the constitutionality or legality of some states of the Nigerian Federation that have adopted own flags, anthems, and so on. Some leaders of the civil society have declared that such phenomena as states adopting independent flags and anthems are unconstitutional and therefore illegal. I wish to differ on the following grounds.
Under the Nigerian Constitution and under international human rights law, there is recognition of the right to the protection, promotion of the existence of national, ethnic, cultural, religious, and linguistic identities in individual geographic units. It is trite to state categorically that international law recognizes the right to self determination of peoples, contrary to the views that have been peddled. What needs to be clarified is that there are two aspects of self-determination, namely: external and internal self-determination. It is the internal form of self-determination that international law recognizes. To my knowledge, the States of the Nigerian Federation that have adopted their own flags, anthems, etc, do so, not in an attempt to exercise external form of self-determination (that is not to secede) but in an exercise of the right to internal self-determination (that is to exercise the right to community or collective self-expression) within the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

I knew very little about Claire Boothe Luce, the writer of this classic and hilarious play, but after a bit of online research, I can report that she was a pretty incredible woman, a writer, politician, war journalist, conservative feminist, acid wit with ambition, drive and intelligence. Look her up!
This play was her most successful and it ran and ran and ran on Broadway and beyond for many years. It was made into a movie in 1939 staring Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Paulette Goddard and Joan Fontaine. It’s not surprising that it would be produced, but it’s a tricky thing, to take such an iconic piece and do it justice. These fabulous female roles demand the kind of power, sarcasm, wit and nerve that can’t be faked.
The folks at Archway Studio have done a superb job. They have stayed true to the play and the characters and resisted the obvious temptation to bring it up to date, to modernize or reference our world today.

Fitness levels, often get mistaken for sheer determination and on the other hand, determination is mistaken for Fitness levels. To put it into a context that’s easy to understand, I want you to imagine that there are two people challenged to run 100 miles with 25 kg in their backpack. One of them is an Olympic athlete, very fit, healthy and finely tuned to get the most out of his or her body. The other individual is quite fit, pretty healthy but a normal everyday human being but has an immensely stubborn and tough mindset.
Both individuals finish the challenge because of very different reasons. Firstly, the Olympic athlete will use his or her fitness levels and finely tuned body to push them through the 100 mile trek and the effort will be there however previous training, prepares them for a challenge like this and therefore less effort is needed now (“Train hard, Fight easy”). The average healthy individual however will rely on sheer determination and not getting injured to push through the 100 miles. This will require all the effort he has, as there is not a solid base of previous training to help him when opposed with situations like this. A certain State of Mind will get him through. What we have to remember is that Fitness can be trained but Determination relies on the individual having it or not to begin with.

The ECC NSW Energy Advocate attended the hearings and presented verbal and written submissions to the Tribunal in support of a reduction in the revenue determinations.

It uses the SVAR model to identify the sources of real exchange rate dynamics for three pairs of currencies: RMB/USD, Yen/USD and GBP/USD. It shows that demand shock, instead of supply shock, plays a dominant role in real exchange determination. Monetary policy has little effect but central bank intervention plays a role in keeping exchange rate persistence for RMB/USD and Yen/USD. Risk premium shock is almost irrelevant to exchange rate dynamics for Yen/USD and GBP/USD. In the case of China, capital control plays a critical role in exchange rate determination. The results show that social welfare losses of China is the largest, suggesting that capital account liberalization would benefit the country in the long term. Therefore, the central bank of China should gradually open up the capital account, give up the fixed exchange rate or the managed floating exchange rate regime, and reduce central bank intervention to improve the effectiveness of monetary policy and social welfare.

He also knows when to insert a laugh to break the tension and “Us” has some genuinely funny moments amidst all the mayhem.
The problem with “Us” is, when the motives of the doppelgangers are made clear, it just doesn’t hold much water and a tug on any of the loose threads causes the thing to start to unravel.
Peele’s talent is on full display here and his cast crushes their parts, especially Nyong’o, who plays subtleties of heartbreak, rage and terror in both Adelaide and her double. But, as impressive as all of this is, it winds up being a bit like watching Stephen Curry score 60 points while his team loses the game.

As a filmmaker, Jean-Luc Godard is a brilliant enigma whose work offers more questions than answers. “Redoubtable” solves that challenge with an outside source: Adapted from actress-turned-author Anne Wiazemsky’s 2015 memoir, “Un An Apres” (“One Year Later”), this surprisingly endearing tragicomedy recounts her short-lived marriage to Godard and the moment in which the feisty filmmaker soured into the angry, outspoken political radical that became his post-’60s persona.
Written and directed by Michel Hazanavicius (“The Artist”), the movie toys with Godard’s own early filmmaking style in a wry effort to salute his legacy and demystify its evolution. Light and inoffensive, it trades the intellectual rigor of Godard’s work for fluffy sentiments, but never gets crass. Above all else, it succeeds at transforming cinephile trivia into a genuine crowdpleaser.
A welcome rebound after Hazanvicius’ misbegotten remake “The Search,” the new movie is a return to the colorful period details of his spy-movie satire “OSS 117” and its sequel, but with a sharper sense of purpose.

His statement announcing the decision was as mysterious and guarded as one would expect from the man.
It's a great loss for Hollywood, not simply because of Day-Lewis' talent, but also because of how scarce the opportunities were to witness it. But while he was not the most prolific actor, he was certainly one of the most artistic and compelling that cinema has ever known. To commemorate Day-Lewis' achievements in film, here are the five most iconic roles of his career.
In his first Oscar-winning role, Day-Lewis played Brown, an Irish writer and artist whose cerebral palsy left him unable to control anything but his left foot. In Roger Ebert's 1990 review of the film, the eminent film critic described Day-Lewis' contribution as a "seamless performance of astonishing beauty and strength."
This "MTV version of gothic romance," as it was described by The Washington Post's Desson Howe, saw Day-Lewis play the adopted son of Mohican chief Chingachgook. His turn as Hawkeye earned him a nomination for the American Film Institute's list of the 50 Best Heroes in the history of film.
Day-Lewis claimed his third Oscar by playing the 16th President of the United States. Directed by Steven Spielberg, the film was a hit at the box office and with critics, particularly those who were entranced by Day-Lewis' possessed portrayal of one of our country's most storied political figures.

I honestly have to say he has no rival on the stage. And if the play he's in doesn't match his level of virtuosity, I can still sing its praises.
Music is actually at the center of the intriguing story of "Farinelli and the King," and it's based on a true one that is set in the early-18th Century. Rylance plays King Philippe of Spain, who was plagued by bouts of mental illness — likely bipolar disorder and manic depression — so severe that he was almost forced to abdicate.
The concerned Queen Isabella, on a trip to London, heard a performance by the famous castrato Farinelli, and instantly decided to bring him to Spain as a gift to her husband. Miraculously, Farinelli's magnificent voice had a curative effect on the ailing king, who seemed to thrive only in the singer's presence.
The two developed a symbiotic relationship to the point that Farinelli was willing to give up his renowned career for this audience of one. And that's how they stayed the rest of their lives.
The play, written by Rylance's wife Claire van Kampen, is most entertaining but principally as a vehicle for her husband, tapping into his bravura skills as both a comedian and tragedian.

It's not about ego, posturing, and a my-way-or-nothing attitude. To me, that's what's happening in DC.
Early into my real estate career, I learned an important lesson: I need to get along with the agent on the other side of the deal as well as my buyer/seller. On one of my first deals, the buyer's agent told me this: "If my client doesn't get what he wants, he will walk!". This sentence was delivered with the initial offer!

But I admit, I was tempted to throw a similar sentence right back at her! It would have set the tone for contentious deal making all around.
More and more it seems like everyone wants to 'win' and no one wants to give a little. It's the stubborn seller who won't look at a realistic listing price, refusing to acknowledge comps. It's the buyer who says, 'I'm going to lowball and see if they'll take it'--even though the house just popped on the market, it's priced right and the buyer loves it!

Academy Award® winner Ben Affleck writes, directs and stars in this crime drama/romance. Based on the novel The Prince of Thieves by Chuck Hogan, Affleck's film follows a career criminal (Affleck) who finds himself romantically involved with the manager of a bank (Rebecca Hall) he held up. A high-stakes love triangle develops when an equally infatuated FBI agent (Mad Men's Jon Hamm) arrives in the pursuit of justice. Stolen cash and a stolen heart lead to a relationship that could destroy this prince of thieves.
Afflecks sophomore offering contains plenty of pay-offs and a slick narrative structure, easily solidifying his growing reputation as a director with the right stuff for a familiar good time.
As a director, Affleck now has two home runs in two at-bats. This is one of the best movies of the year.

Robert Redford has acted in dozens of films in his career and directed nine others, but there's one subject he doesn't seem to tire of tackling: journalism. Since Redford played Bob Woodward in All the President's Men, he has revisited the profession several times on-screen, both as an actor and a director. And he's at it again this week, portraying Dan Rather in the new film, Truth, which opens Friday.
Redford told the BBC in 2012 that while journalism "had reached an apex of morality and professionalism" when Woodward and Carl Bernstein exposed the Watergate scandal in the early '70s, "I think it's pretty obvious it's declined since then—but I didn't imagine at the time that it would decline so steeply and drastically, that the rules that governed journalism—like you had to get two sources to go on record before you could quote them—would be gone. The tools of responsibility were dismissed in favor of the quick scoop. I think that has damaged journalism."
Who he played: Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward, who teamed with fellow reporter Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) and uncovered the Watergate scandal, which ultimately brought down Richard Nixon's presidency.
Was it good for journalism? Without a doubt—the movie, which won four Oscars and was nominated for eight in total including Best Picture, shows journalism at its finest and is one of the best films about the profession ever made.

Fantasy Impact: Manning is now 38 years old and has seen his play decline drastically over the past several years. Vacchiano adds that the Giants don't love any of the quarterbacks in this draft class, which is why they might retain Manning for both this year and 2020. It's fair to question whether they should've taken a quarterback last season when they held the number two overall pick. As for fantasy purposes, Saquon Barkley is the only Giant worth getting excited about this year. Evan Engram, Sterling Shepard, and Golden Tate will all have roles to play but this isn't an offense worth investing a lot in.
Fantasy Impact: This is great news for Cook owners as he'll likely step in for the retired Ben Watson in a system that has been TE-friendly in the past.

And then a mid-life crisis causes him to throw it all away, operatically, sensationally and ferociously. It’s a wonder anyone’s talking to him. Actually, few are.

PURPOSE: To ascertain the therapeutic effect of periocular corticosteroids in diabetic papillopathy. METHODS: Prospectively, five consecutive adult-onset diabetic patients with symptomatic diabetic papillopathy underwent visual fields and fluorescein angiography before and after superonasal subtenon injection of corticosteroids. RESULTS: The median duration of papillopathy was 2.5 weeks by ophthalmoscopy and 3 weeks by fluorescein angiography. The median recovery time of best-spectacle-corrected visual acuity was 2 weeks. Two patients developed sequential diabetic papillopathy, and both reported faster visual recovery and better subjective vision in treated eyes. In these two patients, the final best-spectacle-corrected visual acuity and visual evoked responses were comparable between the two eyes, while automated visual fields were less constricted in treated eyes. Complications included ocular hypertension, mild progression of cataract, and mild ptosis in one patient each. CONCLUSIONS: Periocular corticosteroids shortened the duration of diabetic papillopathy from a reported median of 5 months to 3 weeks in the present uncontrolled observational study, partly by their angiostatic and antioedema effects at the level of the anterior optic nerve. Intraocular pressure needs to be monitored in eyes receiving periocular corticosteroids.

It was set up to investigate fundamental aspects of how vision evolves, how light interacts with the eye and spectacle lenses, and how the brain processes images in a wide variety of dynamic situations. Its goal is to develop new ways of providing natural, individually optimised vision.
Based at Tübingen University Hospital, directly adjacent to the University Campus, the ZEISS Vision Science Lab was established in 2013 as an additional ‘Industry on Campus’ workgroup. Launched as part of Tübingen University's Excellence initiative, it represents a collaborative project at the interface between basic research and industry applications.
Over 200 million people wear ZEISS spectacle lenses worldwide – a number which is increasing by the second. ZEISS produces individualised spectacle lenses capable of correcting numerous visual defects. To do this, it draws on the expertise it has built up over its 160 year history, as well as tapping into countless patents and product innovations and over 100 years experience as a pioneer in eye care and ophthalmology. Numerous parameters are taken into account to enhance visual acuity, contrast and colour vision, UV protection and visual quality at twilight, at night and in challenging environmental conditions. The i.Profiler® from ZEISS uses wavefront technology to generate an objective, personalised profile of the human eye. This data is then used to produce individually optimised ZEISS spectacle lenses.

This thesis proposes a new analytical perspective to the interplay between the entertaining escapism afforded by spectacular action sequences and the expression of cultural themes in the 2000s-present contemporary superhero film cycle. In the introduction I give a review of the spectacle and narrative debate to explain how current studies on popular action film have tended to primarily focus on the way spectacular displays support narrative progression by driving forward the film plot’s narrative chain of cause-and-effect over time. However, the review then explains that whenever the cultural themes invested in these action film narratives are concerned, there is often an assumption that thematic values only surface intermittently as symbolic motifs at certain moments, and so do not really benefit from this kind of storytelling momentum to the same extent. The introduction then sets up my claim that spectacle not only aids the progression of plot by energising narrative causality and temporal progression, but spectacle also contributes other rhythmically kinetic arcs of narration able to developmentally evolve thematic tales of cultural conflict, which I term as narrativised spectacle. I explain my method as one combining a genre theory framework to uncover the cultural contradictions invested in action narratives alongside a neoformalist analysis of the rhythmic components of physical motion, editing, framing, composition and digital visual effects that express these thematic tensions. Examples are then given to show why contemporary superhero films depend on such kinetic kinds of spectacular rhythm, and provide a key case study to work with.

The CGI and animation are so realistic that you forget the forest and animals are not real - they look and feel totally authentic as if it's real life action. You've got to see it to believe it. The story is wonderfully rich and uplifting. The voicing of all the animals is perfect. There is gentle humour alongside some thrilling action sequences. There's a couple of well known songs but this movie is definitely not a musical (for which I'm grateful). THE JUNGLE BOOK is a must see in 3D in the cinema if at all possible. Totally engrossing.

While common to many cultures across the middle east and Europe, we’d wager few have heard the davul sound quite like it does on this record, where it’s turned into a bewildering and fluidly disciplined display of low end rumbles, scrapes and rimshots in uniquely expressive rhythms.
Davul proceeds Erek’s Frenzy (OST) for Subtext with a broader, more in-depth exploration of the drum’s myriad voices presented with no overdubs or edits, effectively using a finely skilled approach - honed in private over a number of years - to document the instrument’s rawest character traits, and, by turns, revealing some of its most uncharacteristic potentials.
The results recall a broad set of reference points, with opener Heal sounding like Colin Stetson jamming on a single note with First Nation peoples, whereas Prepare sounds out like some caveman dancehall (actually reminds us of when the sound cut out at an Equiknoxx show and folk beat the a rhythm for Shanique on the walls), whilst on Kirast he makes it sound like a detuned Balafon prepped for war, and Dicycles could almost be the sound of a knackered tractor engine failing to properly combust.
The results make for an intense listen and form Erek’s purest statement of intent to date; a exhaustively fascinating and intimate experience.

I grabbed it at a half price sale at Open Books in June while searching for summer reading. It’s a fictional love story rooted in certain facts about an affair Frank Lloyd Wright had late in his career. The story is about the woman, Mamah Borthwick Cheney, mostly.
Wright led an interesting life for sure. I thought, before I read this book, that I knew a little of the history because I’d been on guided tours of his home and studio and Robie House. I didn’t know jack. His life certainly didn’t need any fiction to spice it up. The author, Nancy Horan, stuck to the facts. The fictional part comes mostly in the form of inhabiting the mind of Mamah and building out her character and also adding to Wright’s character through Mamah’s eyes. I think it worked well.
I’m not a heavy user of the love story. I have been known to get engrossed in a Jane Austen movie, but I rarely read love stories. I’ll have to look down through the list to see if I’m being truthful. The love story aspect of this book was definitely engrossing as was the character study of Mamah. The time and place, 1907-1913 America, was a stifling place for women and Mamah’s drive towards self-actualization against societal norms was great reading.

First, there was his tragic, nuanced performance as the late George "Superman" Reeves in "Hollywoodland," earning critics' accolades and award nominations. But that was just a precursor to Affleck's assured directorial debut "Gone Baby Gone"  an engrossing intersection of mystery, drama, crime procedural, and character study that Affleck and co-screenwriter Aaron Stockard adapted from a novel by "Mystic River" author Dennis Lehane. Apparently, Affleck's Oscar for co-writing the script of "Good Will Hunting" was no fluke. In "Gone Baby Gone," 4-year-old Amanda is kidnapped from her single mother's apartment in a rough, working-class Boston-area neighborhood. Patrick Kenzie (Casey Affleck, Ben's kid brother) and Angie Gennaro (Michelle Monaghan), a young couple living together and working together as private investigators, are hired by Amanda’s aunt (Amy Madigan) to find the little girl. Patrick and Angie quickly come into conflict with the cops on the case, as well as Amanda's mother (Amy Ryan), various suspects and leads, and, eventually, each other.

Sephora Golding has a secret that is definitely defined well in her story’s title.

Sephora’s life revolves around her single mom, their tiny apartment, and her fairy tale art.
But Sephora’s fairy tale isn’t a Disney classic. It’s a strange, twisted journey with some seriously unsettling edges. INFANDOUS studies the fallout after Sephora has a fling with a much older man, all the while her mother begins a tentative relationship with someone much younger. Can possessive, unmotivated, but brilliantly creative Sephora find her own place in the world? Or will she be forever changed by her fairy tale turned grim?
It’s important to note that while there’s lots of gruesome old school fairy tale and Greek myth references and retellings, Sephora’s story is in no way mythological or supernatural. Hers is the most real form of realism out there, ingrained in the actions of everyday life and in no way sugarcoated.
INFANDOUS is a very introspective character study, however– One that may not work for some readers. The story works to capture Sephora in the moment and thus remains fairly stagnant. The main character isn’t always the most relatable, but you’re always curious about where her story is leading.

Retrieved Text: Most famous characters from books have this in common: They grapple with internal and external conflict.
Internal struggle might stem from difficult decisions or else the lingering psychological effects of past experiences. Characters also face external conflicts, from defeating villains to overcoming harsh, unforgiving environments.
Take, for example, the fictional character Jon Snow from George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy series (the source material for HBO’s A Game of Thrones).
Snow’s backstory shapes the character’s internal conflict. He is constantly reminded of his ‘illegitimate’ status, making him an outsider.
Besides the internal conflict this yields, it also launches external conflict. Jon’s father’s wife, Catelyn, for example, resents him because he is a living reminder of Ned’s infidelity. Together, internal and external conflict make Jon a sympathetic character, since he faces adversity through no fault of his own.
Internal and external conflicts advance plot. Jon joins the Night’s Watch that guards the borders to the north of Winterfell fortress. His decision is driven, in part, by the desire to escape the limitations imposed by his birth status. Jon Snow’s arc shows how internal and external conflict can shape a character’s psychology and choices.
Flaws and minor inconsistencies in characters’ behaviour are capable of making their unfolding lives riveting.
In Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, for example, the title character is complex and engrossing, in part due to her inconsistencies.
For example, although Anna has an extra-marital affair with a cavalry officer, Count Vronsky, she herself becomes increasingly jealous and suspicious of Vronsky. Anna’s suspicion of Vronksy’s faithfulness seems hypocritical. After all,

Told almost wordlessly, if there was ever a filmmaker to make the case for a return to silent cinema, it's Chomet who adapted the screenplay, which is almost dialogue-less but still stunningly evocative, from one originally written by mime/filmmaker Jacques Tati.
There's been a flurry of controversy surrounding the film, with a number of conflicting reports over the inspiration for the film. Many claim it was written as Tati's attempt to reconcile with his eldest daughter, Helga Marie-Jeanne Schiel, a child he abandoned as a baby, leading some to speculate the film was inspired by his shame and remains the only public recognition of her existence.
Not that any of that matters when you're sitting in a dark theater being carried along on this enchantingly somber ride.

The story opens with the tale of a mythical alien kingdom which mirrors our own galaxy, and the Tulizians inhabiting the planet. The story of the royal family no doubt pulls from Werner’s own Congolese heritage and the Biblical story of Joseph, and her inventiveness is engrossing. Unfortunately, when the story switches to Earth to tell of the orphaned Destiny, the narrative grinds to a halt. Destiny is an interesting character but she comes across as aimless and formless until she realizes her destiny is entwined with a mysterious man from Tulizia.
The book picks up when Destiny is older, and the chapters switch between her coming of age and the politics and wars on Tulizia. However, the very density that makes the world-building extraordinary bogs down the action and character growth. Both settings suffer from unnecessary description and dialogue that makes the characters fall flat. Despite the flaws therein, The Last Prince of Tulizia is an interesting read and Werner is a very capable writer.

Still a heart-filled play by Hupert - as always she is stunning. At the end, Bovary is always a fine story to watch and this adaptation does enough with it.
Is it ironic to expect fidelity from a film adaptation of Madame Bovary? In any case there's no more faithful adaptation. Chabrol is showing off his close reading skills. He attempted following camera directions from Gustave himself (until it didn't work) . Huppert makes surprising choices, but comes off as too withdrawn. It captures the coldness of the source, but none of the warmth. Bonus points for the gross-out.

It opens with a vicious fight and subsequent make-up between 46-year-old Erika (Isabelle Huppert) and her mother (Annie Girardot), where the daughter pulls on her mother’s hair and strikes her. Then they go to sleep in the same bed. Her mother says: “No one must outdo you.” It will be a mantra for Erika that we will find out goes so painfully against every fiber of her sexual being.
In her life as a professor who demands something close to perfection from her students, Erika is indeed all about control. She’s an expert at controlling her own desires as well because, outside of her mother, the people in her life accept this one dimensional persona. By way of a warning, we learn off-handedly at one point that her father went insane in an asylum.
The Piano Teacher is shot in and around a Viennese conservatory, but this is not some hoity-toity drama of manners. No, Nobel laureate Elfriede Jelinek’s 1983 novel was provocative too, and her main character was even more expressive. Haneke is rigidly formalistic. He creates plenty of suspense and shock, even though there’s no actual score to assist him, just the diagetic music in individual scenes.

Sydney Theatre Company returns to Lincoln Center Festival with Cate Blanchett, Isabelle Huppert, and Elizabeth Debicki in Jean Genet’s The Maids.

No, I wouldn't have believed you. But please believe me: It's all true.
Though a number of Ms Fontaine's films (The Girl from Monaco, Coco Before Chanel) involve excursions into class differences (the director is shown at right), one of her earliest -- Dry Cleaning -- took on the attempted melding of the bourgeoisie with lower-class "artists" that proved sensual, scary and memorable. In her latest, she does it again, this time melding an haut bourgeois couple with an even lower-class jack-of-all-trades (this would be a career-defining performance by Belgian actor Benoît Poelvoorde, below, except that just about every performance this guy gives would qualify as such) and the result is as funny and frolicsome as Dry Cleaning was dark and dirty.
MY WORST NIGHTMARE is often silly and obvious but it is almost always remarkably entertaining, thanks to the smart screenplay and dialog (by Ms Fontaine and Nicolas Mercier) that keeps the initially somewhat unbelievable situation just off-kilter enough to work. Couple this to performances that do exactly the same thing (they keep surprising us and stringing us along) and you have a not-too-slick but pleasantly fast-paced almost-farce.

Thesp Edith Scob and producer Charles Gillibert completed the panel.
In “Things To Come,” Huppert plays a philosophy professor who is confronted with a series of misfortunes prompting her to throw herself into a new chapter of her life.
For many who haven’t yet seen “Things To Come,” the movie seems to mark a departure for Hansen-Love whose previous pics dealt with young folks such as her previous feature “Eden.” But Hansen-Love pointed out “Things To Come” was as much – if not more — personal than the movies she’s made before. “What most people don’t know is that both of my parents are philosophy professors, so I was brought up in this intellectual environment which I show in this film,” said Hansen-Love.
The director said she wrote the script with Huppert in mind. “Thinking of Isabelle throughout the writing process inspired me and stimulated me tremendously; it helped me give the script an uplifting spirit, even though the subject matter of the film is rather serious,” said Hansen-Love.

With Laura (1944) and Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950), director Otto Preminger and actor Dana Andrews collaborated to produce two of the great American film noirs. Fallen Angel (1945) also features this winning combination, but unfortunately lacks something more crucial: conviction. Eric Stanton (Andrews) is the perfect noir anti-hero, an unabashed shyster with a knack for opportunism. After stranding himself in a small American town with a dollar in his pocket, Stanton falls for Stella (Linda Darnell), a vivacious young waitress who'll "befriend" any man who can offer her financial security. Stanton claims that he wants to marry Stella, but he's obviously driven by lust, and his hunger leads him to seek money through dubious means – in this case, by wooing and marrying the spinsterish June (Alice Faye). Where Preminger fumbles is in his unwillingness to punish Stanton. Instead, the irresponsibly- flirtatious Stella is murdered, and our hero's innocence – never really doubted by the audience – distracts from the character's own moral crimes.
The film, at least, is thick with atmosphere. The small-town setting creates a distinct sense of claustrophobia, as though one can't run far enough to escape the watchful eyes of the local residents. Dana Andrews, as always, is excellent in the lead role. Linda Darnell exudes a trashy but undeniably voluptuous sensuality; she's a more openly sexual character than Gene Tierney's Laura, and perhaps more along the lines of Tierney in The Shanghai Gesture (1941) or Jean Peters in Pickup on South Street (1953).

A single laugh just before the end counts as a poor return for any so-called comedy. But even worse is the sheer cynicism involved in assuming it’s okay to portray full-figured McCarthy’s character as a physically ridiculous, unloved and unlovable monster, providing she’s given a couple of moments that show her in a sympathetic light. Ugly and seriously unfunny.
Identity Thief is a good film for when you'd like to have a good time watching a lighthearted film that will make you laugh, but don't expect much more from it. The plot is quite predictable, but the two comedic actors,

In Marie Lu’s vivid The Young Elites, she creates an engrossing, high-stakes plot on the backdrop of wonderfully crafted world building. Sixteen-year-old Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever that ripped through Kenettra in her youth. Some survivors were left marked by the illness — a colored mark on skin, a change in hair color. Although these malfettos are persecuted by society, some of them, known as the Young Elites, develop strange powers. Adelina discovers her powers when she attempts to escape her abusive father’s home. She accidentally kills him, leading to her own execution. Thanks to her abilities — she can create vivid illusions — and the help of some Young Elites in the Dagger Society, she escapes death. This is just the beginning of her journey, however, as the Dagger Society teaches her to use her powers and she is caught in the political conflict threatening to tear their nation apart.
Adelina is not the traditional young adult protagonist. In part because of her powers, she finds herself in darkness, feeding on fear. Torn between those trying to use her for her powers, she reacts and develops in unpredictable yet fitting ways. Some of the other characters fit archetypes and have more predictable progression, but Adelina acts as an anchor that prevents those less original aspects from undermining the book’s impact. The darkness behind Adelina makes this novel all the more affecting and substantial. The plot is intriguing and

WHAT IS A GRAPHIC SCORE?
From the early twentieth century, certain groups of composers began questioning every convention and by the 1950s began liberating themselves from traditional notation through the use of visual symbols to create works of often stunning aesthetic quality. Blurring the boundaries between visual, written and musical languages, graphic scores saw collaboration between composers and visual artists, the influence of which is still felt today.
John Cage famously celebrated this prolific era for graphic scores with his book Notations (co-edited with Alison Knowles), which included works by the likes of Louis Andriessen alongside Yoko Ono and even a decorated lyric sheet by The Beatles. Whilst the initial blast of heat around graphic scores cooled in the 70s, their visual excitement remains highly seductive for many creating music today with artists from Aphex Twin to John Zorn using graphic notation in their work.

That’s largely because those services are trying to help artists not just accumulate streams of their music, something that doesn’t pay any party well, but also sell merchandise, ticket sales and more. That’s the gist of this op-ed at Hypebot, which talks about the efforts Spotify, YouTube and Pandora have put in place to bridge that revenue gap with additional income opportunities. It’s an interesting example, in some ways, of positive feature creep, where a single-usage service expands beyond its original mission statement. Often that turns things into a muddled mess but in this case that hasn’t happened (yet) and is, more importantly, designed to actually add value to audiences and stakeholders.
Also of note is this interview with a Spotify exec where he says exclusives are bad for the music industry and ultimately bad for artists because they encourage people who aren’t subscribers or users of the service getting the exclusive not to sign up but to pirate it, a position I agree with. This is not just an issue in the music industry but also with movie and TV services.

The trailer in many ways is an exact representation of the movie. And with visionary filmmaker Shankar moving more towards being a template filmmaker, 2.0’s chances of living up to your optimistic expectations are less.
So after the Chitti chapter, Vaseegaran is proceeding with his other robotics experiments. In the meantime, a phenomenon happens in the city where the mobile phones of people are getting sucked into the air by a force. The government and authorities eventually identify the need of Vaseegaran’s Chitti to restore normalcy in the system and the film is basically about how that process happens.
If you have been someone who was following 2.0 closely, you must have heard fan theories about the story and what was disappointing to me was that it was very close to those predictions. Shankar’s visionary aspect does pop up sporadically. The many formations he creates to demonize the character played by Akshay Kumar and some of the quirks he puts in the features of the robot versions have the glimpses of his visionary aspect.

The life of legendary scientist Albert Einstein is re-imagined as a slapstick farce in this comic fantasy. Changing Einstein's country of origin from Germany to Tasmania, the film shows the scientist's eventful youth as he creates rock & roll and discovers the secret of splitting the beer atom. Director and star Yahoo Serious loads the film with slapstick comedy, absurd sight gags, and even sneaks in a romantic subplot in which Einstein courts Marie Curie. The film was a huge hit in its native Australia but a major box-office disappointment in the United States, where audiences largely ignored the display of nonstop silliness.
The movie runs out of -- excuse me again -- energy in the late going, and the invention of the humor is uneven. But Serious plays the title role with charm and lightness. His wild red hair makes Don King's look like a crewcut.

With multiple big-name actors, great word-of-mouth reviews, and an exciting trailer, I was expecting quite a show.
As a modern prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the movie had some great expectations to meet. However, according to IMDB, the film is based on the book series “Oz” by L. Frank Baum, not the 1939 musical. With such well-known names as James Franco, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams, and Rachel Weisz, I was expecting some top-notch acting. Unfortunately, my expectations were too great. I found the acting cheesy and stereotypical. Although, part of me thinks that the dialogue and cheesy lines matched the typecast, standard characters; Glinda, the good witch has always been a little cheesy. Perhaps the sticky-sweet dialogue is part of its charm. Perhaps I was just tired and grumpy when I went to the movies and was therefore overly critical.
The acting had a few redeeming qualities. Patching up the legs of China Girl was Franco’s best scene. And, Mila Kunis played a much more believable witch than a “good witch.” In fact, I rather enjoyed her screaming, her witch laugh, and her scary, witch antics.

Definitely recommend it, and it's not normally my type of thing. I generally roll my eyes at the amount of British crime dramas we get on terrestrial telly, but this is well worth your time.

We were invited to see the film before it comes out in theaters on February 9th and I’m excited to see it again! This movie is worth me paying to go see it for a second time. It was funny, family-friendly and jammed packed with furry cuteness.
PETER RABBIT™, the mischievous and adventurous hero who has captivated generations of readers, now takes on the starring role of his own irreverent, contemporary comedy with attitude. In the film, Peter‘s feud with Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) escalates to greater heights than ever before as they rival for the affections of the warm-hearted animal lover who lives next door (Rose Byrne). James Corden voices the character of Peter with playful spirit and wild charm, with Margot Robbie, Elizabeth Debicki, and Daisy Ridley performing the voice roles of the triplets, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail.
Because kids can be as mischievous as Peter Rabbit, I decided to use all of the activities in store for us as simple life lessons for my daughter.

Early Man stars Dug (Eddie Redmayne), a young and optimistic caveman who lives in the valley with his tribe. However, when their valley is threatened and invaded by the Bronze Age, Dug challenges the head of the Bronze Age Lord Nooth (Tom Hiddleston), to a soccer match – a game that was once part of the cavemen tradition. If the cavemen were to win against the Bronze Age champions, Dug and his tribe realise they will get their valley back.

The book is written with a framing device in which he discovers that a beloved adventure book read to him by his father when he was sick as a child, was actually a long political satire that bored his own son. So Goldman decides to publish an abridged version with only the good parts. All of this framing device is fictional, as Goldman invented both the story of The Princess Bride and a fictional wife and son.
The audio book version I found to listen too is disappointingly an abridged version, ironic since The Princess Bride is already supposed to be an abridged book. Many of the scenes that don’t correspond directly to the movie are left out of the audiobook, including the majority of Goldman’s framing device interrupting the narrative.

The censoriousness of the junta period carried over into the next decade, as post- junta cinema largely dealt with issues surrounding what would become known as the “dirty war”. Despite the lack of risk in the shape and content of films from the 1980s, there were exceptions, including Luis Puenzo’s The Official Film Story (1985), which won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
The 1990s marked a new phase in Argentine cinema, as the stagnation of the previous decades led a group of young directors to fight to recover their country’s cinematic identity.
Their goal was to show the new reality of Argentina, focusing less on the events of the past and more on pervasive social problems faced by everyday Argentinians. New film schools emerged in the mid-1990s, and the creation of film festivals at Mar de Plata and Bafici created a platform for new directors to show their works.
While the directors who emerged in the 1990s are considered part of the New Argentine Cinema, they comprise a disparate group. Yet they are linked by a determinedly modern, forward-looking focus and smoothly mixing reality and fiction.
This new cinema is concerned with critiquing modern Argentine society and delves into the lives of individual characters with such realism that we can see ourselves in the small details. Here are five prominent contemporary directors whose works helped reshape Argentine film.

Early in writer/director Jennifer Kent’s Australian creeper The Babadook, widowed mother Amelia crawls onto the floor with her six year old son Samuel to check underneath his bed, ensuring there are no monsters there before he turns in for the night. The scene, repeated throughout the movie, has its roots in the seemingly every day life of a parent calming their child’s fears but also acts as one of the film’s many metaphors to dramatize the concept of “what lies beneath”. Grounded in German expressionism, the film, like many great horror movies do, works on a psychological level as an allegory to convey the concept of suppression and repression, showing us the ill-effects – including cognitive dissonance – of what happens when emotions, particularly grief, have not been dealt with.

Thank you for this wonderful and awesome review!
Thanks for spelling this out. Its the most insightful review for an easily misinterpreted movie that I have found. And one that gives it MUCH deeper meaning than what is obvious on the surface. It explains the ending perfectly. I knew the movie was flirting with the concept of “is it all in her head or is it real? ” but I hadn’t considered the idea that the babadook

Alas, they all shared the characteristics of being flat, lacking in character development, and running out of steam long before the end. It resulted in their latter scenes being overly predictable or trite, or both. Similarly, despite being a decent film, Philomena suffers from the same traits.
Young Philomena (Sophie Kennedy Clark) holding her son tightly in the sole hour a day that she is given free time at the nunnery.
Philomena is a British drama set in 2003. The movie is based on the true story of how an elderly Irish lady, Philomena Lee (when young, played by Sophie Kennedy Clark; when old, by Judy Dench), came to find her son, Anthony (when adult, played by Sean Mahon).
Anthony was taken away from Philomena in the 1950s when he was a toddler by the nuns at a Catholic nunnery, while Philomena lived there as punishment for her sin of becoming pregnant outside of wedlock. But now she has the help of a journalist in Martin Sixsmith (Steve Coogan), who has just lost his job as a Labour government advisor and a BBC reporter. He wants to write a story that will reinvigorate his career (as a Russian history author of all things) and helps Philomena to find out what happened to her son.
Yet, Philomena rapidly feels tired, which is disappointing as one expects more from it. The movie is only 98 minutes long, but it feels longer. All

Iron Man 2 was a bit weak and quick for the ending. This third movie seems like it will have the same general plot like Dark Knight Rises, where Tony Stark will have to fall hard and have to rebuild himself to be better in order to conquer the villain of the Mandarin as well as his internal self.
Lo Pan and the Mandarin - Do you think they shop in the same store, or they just like accessories?
As you can see the Mandarin will be played by Sir Ben Kingsley, who is a wonderful actor. He was in Hugo, Gandhi, Schindler’s List, Sneakers, Searching for Bobby Fischer and many other great movies. I’m sure his portrayal of The Mandarin will be good. Although a piece of me wonders how he’s called the Mandarin and isn’t really Chinese. (The New Karate Kid, I am looking at you). But Ben Kingsley is a great actor, so surely it can’t be bad. We can all forget Bloodrayne, right?
The first time I remember seeing the Mandarin character was in a Marvel trading card series that were painted by the Hilderbrandt brothers. It was a dynamic intense view of the villain. it accentuated where his powers came from – the ten rings on his fingers. And it reminded me of the Planeteers, how each ring has a different power.

The movie isn’t horrible, but it isn’t great either. One thing I did notice while watching it is even though it is supposed to feel like a serious movie, everything is way to colorful and bright. Maybe it is just the typical late 90’s camera work and editing but I am not certain just yet. Everything just seems too colorful, pronounced, and highly saturated.

The movie dramatizes the events before and after the kidnapping as viewed primarily from Mariane Pearl’s perspective, which makes sense considering the movie is based on her book. It feels and looks like a documentary. The dialog is all very real, which in a way is part of the problem. In real life, everyday dialog can become boring. There’s a lot in this movie that doesn’t seem to have much purpose. It’s like watching a reality TV show with contrived conflict.

However, don’t go in expecting an entirely different movie, either; just one that has some of the familiar beats, but executed in a much more entertaining and, surprisingly, emotional manner. As with Neeson’s breakout action franchise, there are some sinister forces which threaten his family and Neeson has to go the limit in order to protect them; you know it well, we know it well, anyone who watched Taken and its inferior sequels knows it well, it’s nothing particularly new.
That being said, director Jaume Collet-Serra – reuniting with Neeson for a third time after Unknown and Non-Stop – does at least attempt to up the dramatic stakes with this film; instead of a former CIA agent, Neeson plays an alcoholic criminal with strong personal ties to Ed Harris’ mob leader Shawn Maguire (okay, EastEnders fans, get it all out of your system), and any remaining ties to family, particularly estranged son Michael (Joel Kinnaman), have been irrevocably damaged before the film even begins. Neeson here plays something closer to A Walk Among The Tombstones’ Matthew Scudder than Taken’s Bryan Mills, and though Tombstones is probably a better movie than Run All Night it’s good to see Neeson being given this sort of character by Collet-Serra that’s more interesting and thus

When World War II began, the U.S. Army Air Corps numbered only 45,000 men and a few thousand aircraft--hardly enough to defend the United States, let alone defeat Germany's Luftwaffe, the world's most formidable air force. Yet by the war's end, the Luftwaffe had been crushed, and the U.S. Army Air Forces, successor to the Air Corps, had delivered the decisive blows. The Men Who Killed the Luftwaffe tells the story of that striking transformation--one of the marvels of modern warfare--while simultaneously thrusting readers into whirling, heart-pounding accounts of aerial combat.
The Allies couldn't defeat Hitler's Third Reich without destroying its industry and taking its territory, but before they could do either, they had to neutralize the Luftwaffe, whose state-of-the-art aircraft and battle-seasoned pilots stood ready to batter any attackers. Great Britain's Royal Air Force was only barely holding the line, and the might of the United States was needed to turn the tide.
Almost from scratch, the United States built an air force of more than two million men. Thanks to the visionary leadership of Henry "Hap" Arnold, Carl "Tooey" Spaatz, Ira Eaker, James Doolittle, and others, the USAAF assembled a well-trained and superbly equipped force unlike any ever fielded. And thanks to the brave Americans who crewed, maintained, and supported the aircraft, the USAAF annihilated the Luftwaffe as it pounded targets deep inside Germany and elsewhere.

The names of the 94 men who served were read as a shot of whiskey was poured into a bucket of sand for each member. "Then buried under a dedication plaque that we have for them," said Patrick Meine, Junior Vice Commander, VFW Post 1527.
“The men upstairs right now are smiling, absolutely," Dennis Weber, who helped organize the tribute, told WXMI.
It was a tribute honoring the men who deployed to World War II out of Kalamazoo County. All the men have passed away except for 93-year-old Fred Spencer who took part in the special 'Last Man Standing' tribute to honor his fellow company members.
The 'Last Man Standing' agreement was made years ago while the men were deployed, to purchase a bottle of whiskey that would go to the last surviving member of the unit.
Spencer received a 'special tribute' award on behalf of the state of Michigan, gifted to him by Michigan Senator Margaret O'Brien and State Representative David Maturen.
“We are grateful for your [Spencer] service that you and your comrades gave to our country, thank you," said O'Brien.

It is tempting to think that Wilde willingly—and wilfully—fashioned his life into a Greek tragedy of terrible pain and beauty, conscious that his decision to stay in London—the Athens of its day—and face trial would make him a Victorian Socrates. Wilde drained the poisonous cup of Victorian England’s envy, homophobia and class divisions and in so doing completed his journey from fame to infamy. What more could a master storyteller do than sacrifice his life for the sake of mesmerizing his audience? Wilde’s personality and spectacular rise and fall threaten to eclipse his written works.

A popular society figure known for his wit and flamboyant style, he published his own book of poems in 1881. He spent a year lecturing on poetry in the United States, where his dapper wardrobe and excessive devotion to art drew ridicule from some quarters.
After returning to Britain, Wilde married and had two children, for whom he wrote delightful fairy tales, which were published in 1888. Meanwhile, he wrote reviews and edited Women’s World. In 1890, his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, was published serially, appearing in book form the following year. He wrote his first play, The Duchess of Padua, in 1891 and wrote five more in the next four years. His plays, including The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), were successful and made him a popular and well-known writer.
In 1895, the Marquess of Queensberry denounced Wilde as a homosexual, accusing him of having an affair with the marquess’s son. Wilde sued for libel, but lost his case when evidence strongly supported the marquess’s observations. Unfortunately, homosexuality was classified as a crime in England at the time. Wilde was arrested, found guilty, and sentenced to two years of hard labor.

In London he set about establishing himself as a poet and wit, and when Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera Patience toured the USA in 1882 he was invited to give a speech before every performance so that American audiences could recognize the 'perfectly precious young aesthete' satirized in the character of Bunthorne. This brought him both celebrity and money, and in 1884 he married Constance Lloyd, by whom he had two sons.He began writing fairy tales while working as editor of The Lady's World, and The Happy Prince was published in 1888. His first play, Vera, had been a failure, but in 1892 Lady Windermere's Fan was staged with great success. This was swiftly followed by three other enomously successful comedies, the most famous being The Importance of Being Earnest (1895). Wilde died in France, aged only 46.

Retrieved Text: The twenty-sixth Oscar Wilde Society annual birthday dinner was held on October 13, 2017 at the National Liberal Club in Whitehall — a now familiar home for the Society and its regulars. However, for one delinquent expatriate member it was a first visit to this ‘new’ venue, a fact which prompted the surprised realisation that my previous birthday dinner was almost twenty years ago.
On that distant occasion the dinner was held at the Cadogan Hotel, an experience now so far removed from The National Liberal Club that it might have happened to an invented younger brother. This Wildean idea seemed apt because, if we condense the intervening two decades into the perspective of successive events, the two places emerge as opposite sides of the same coin of the Oscar realm.
If Oscar Wilde really did live in terror of not being misunderstood—as he wrote in The Critic as Artist in 1891, he need not have worried. At least not so far as his plays are concerned, because there are parts of the texts now so arcane that they are almost bound to be misunderstood—if they are understood at all.
Take Wilde’s most famous play The Importance of Being Earnest.
As many appreciate, Earnest still resonates today in everything from the fact that sugar is no longer fashionable to the facade of human shallowness.
But we should not allow the play’s continuing relevance to distract us from its many dated, regional or topical allusions, many of which had an esoteric meaning when Wilde wrote them, but which are now elusive—especially for

The book is inscribed to Major Nelson, who was the governor of the prison when Wilde was sentenced to two years hard labour there for "gross indecency" in 1895, the result of his homosexual love affairs.
The Importance of Being Earnest had opened at theatres some months before, but closed after 56 performances when Wilde was convicted. It was not published again until 1899, the year before Wilde's death, and was not seen in London's West End until 1902.
"To Major Nelson: from the author. A trivial recognition of a great and noble kindness. Feb, 99."
Having been transferred from Wandsworth prison to Reading, Oscar Wilde's mental and physical health began to deteriorate drastically under the draconian rule of then governor Henry Isaacson.
Isaacson was replaced with Major James Nelson the following year, who gave Wilde access to books.
"The Home Office has allowed you some books. Perhaps you would like to read this one. I have just been reading it myself," he is reported to have said to his most famous prisoner.
Nelson also allowed Wilde to begin writing, although all work had to be passed to the guards each evening. It was during this time that Wilde produced his final major work, De Profundis.
The manuscript of De Profundis was gifted to Nelson on Wilde's release in 1897.

METHODS: We analyzed the 2008–2010 National Immunization Survey of Teens examining reasons parents do not have their teens immunized. Parents whose teens were not up to date (Not-UTD) for Tdap/Td and MCV4 were asked the main reason they were not vaccinated. Parents of female teens Not-UTD for human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV) were asked their intent to give HPV, and those unlikely to get HPV were asked the main reason why not.
RESULTS: The most frequent reasons for not vaccinating were the same for Tdap/Td and MCV4, including “Not recommended” and “Not needed or not necessary.” For HPV, the most frequent reasons included those for the other vaccines as well as 4 others, including “Not sexually active” and “Safety concerns/Side effects.” “Safety concerns/Side effects” increased from 4.5% in 2008 to 7.7% in 2009 to 16.4% in 2010 and, in 2010, approaching the most common reason “Not Needed or Not Necessary” at 17.4% (95% CI: 15.7–19.1). Although parents report that health care professionals increasingly recommend all vaccines, including HPV, the intent to not vaccinate for HPV increased from 39.8% in 2008 to 43.9% in 2010 (OR for trend 1.08, 95% CI: 1.04–1.13).
CONCLUSIONS: Despite doctors increasingly recommending adolescent vaccines, parents increasingly intend not to vaccinate female teens with HPV. The concern about safety of HPV grew with each year.

RESULTS: Across the 20 practices, 3,430 charts of eligible women 52 to 71 years of age were reviewed (mean per practice = 173 women; ranging from 38 to 385). The two-year time-appropriate mammography rate was 58.8%. The screening rates ranged from 25% to 76% across 20 practices. Four practices attained a 70% or greater time-appropriate screening rate. When we extended the time-appropriate frame to 36 months, the overall mammography rate increased to 70.0%. Practice size, method of remuneration for patient care, use of an electronic medical record, gender or age of physician, practice setting, use of Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) were not found to be significantly associated with mammography screening rates.

The new legislation, titled AB63 and introduced by Bay Area Assemblyman Jim Frazier (D-Oakley), mandates that all new drivers under the age of 21 be given provisional licenses for a year.
Under current state laws, only drivers under the age of 18 are given provisional licenses, which bar them from driving passengers under 20 years old (unless accompanied by a parent or person 25 or older) and between the hours of 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
The restrictions typically expire after a year or until the driver's 18th birthday, and there are exceptions for work-related travel or driving family members.
AB63 has the support of the California Association of Highway Patrolmen and teen-safety advocacy groups.
“We are proud to be sponsors of this bill and look forward to working together toward a common goal—saving young drivers’ lives and making roadways safer for all of us,” said Doug Villars, President of the association, in a news release announcing the bill.

Continued increases -- as much as 15 percent -- were made in nationwide coverage for vaccines specifically recommended for pre-teens, according to 2009 National Immunization Survey-Teen (NIS-Teen) estimates released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The survey of more than 20,000 teens aged 13-17 found that in 2009 there were increases in the percentage of teens in this age group who had received vaccines routinely recommended for 11- and 12-year-olds.
- As in 2008, there was wide variation in adolescent vaccination coverage among state and local areas.
"This year's data are mixed," says Anne Schuchat, MD, director of CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. "We can see that more parents of adolescents are electing to protect their children from serious diseases such as pertussis, meningitis, and cervical cancer, but there is clear room for improvement in our system's ability to reach this age group."
"Pertussis outbreaks in several states and an increase in pertussis-related infant deaths in California highlight how important it is for pre-teens to receive the Tdap booster," Schuchat adds. "It is important for teens and adults to get a one-time dose of Tdap to protect themselves and those around them from whooping cough. Young infants are most vulnerable to serious complications from pertussis and can be infected by older siblings, parents or other caretakers."

They are also a way of having fun together, meeting new people, and doing new things, in other words, of sharing experiences that are often emotional. Such sharing can only be good. In fact, in a Christian home such sharing can be exceedingly powerful.

Short answer: the ideal length of sleep is not a one-size-fits-all, but there are recommended sleep times for each age group. Let Sealy walk you through the recommended sleep length at different stages of a person’s lifespan.
Children, from newborns to pre-teens, typically need more sleep than their adult counterparts due to their rapid mental and physical growth. The length of a good night’s sleep for kids at different stages are outlined below.
Aside from the getting enough sleep at night, consistent daytime naps are also essential for children 5 years of age and under.
There is often a change in the timing of teens’ sleep, where they naturally want to stay up later and sleep in. This may lead to lack of sleep if they are allowed to go to bed late, but have school early in the morning on the following day.

Tobacco adverts run the risk of persuading teenagers to start smoking according to researchers behind a new study published in the online only journal BMJ Open.
Researchers from The Institute for Therapy and Health Research in Germany, claim that by just seeing 10 adverts for tobacco, this can increase risk of youngsters picking up the deadly habit.
The claims emanate from the researcher’s findings from a two and a half year period where they closely tracked over 1,300 non-smoking 10 to 15-year-olds, specifically monitoring the teenager’s exposure to tobacco advertising and their subsequent behaviour.
Whilst tobacco advertising to the public is completely outlawed in the United Kingdom due to the Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Act 2002, in Germany tobacco advertising on billboards is still permitted. In addition, tobacco smoking in Germany is still advertised in certain magazines, during sporting events, and in petrol stations. Television and radio advertising for such products however is banned.
The German researchers began monitoring the teenagers – selected from public schools in three separate regions of Germany – in 2008. They were quizzed on how often they had seen certain advertisements, which included those of Germany’s top six most popular cigarette brands as well as eight more non-tobacco products. These included mobile phones, cars, clothes and chocolate.

This is bad news for all sorts of reasons. Our bodies need sleep. When we get less sleep, not only are we cranky, we are less able to learn new information, our reaction times are longer, we may have behavioral changes or mental health problems — and it affects our health.
In a study just published in the journal Pediatrics, researchers looked at the sleeping habits of 829 adolescents between the ages of 12 and 16, with a mean age of 13. They found that a third of them slept less than seven hours every night, and nearly half of them were fully asleep for less than 85% of that nightly sleep time.
But here’s where it gets worrisome.

Participants were evenly split between males and females and their average age was just under 18. About 9 percent were overweight or obese. The average well-being score for all the teens was 17.
Weekly sports participation of zero to 3.5 hours was considered low and seen in 35 percent of teens. Between 3.6 and 10.5 hours was considered average and seen in 41.5 percent of participants. High levels of 10.6 to 17.5 hours were reported by 18.5 percent of participants, and very high levels of more than 17.5 hours were reported by 5 percent of tens.

This very well-intentioned law--enacted long before the advent of MySpace, Facebook, and other social networks--was designed to protect children from revealing information that could be used by companies to sell them products or by others to exploit them. Children under 13, according to the Federal Trade Commission, which enforces COPPA, are "particularly vulnerable to overreaching by marketers."
COPPA doesn't prevent companies like Facebook from admitting kids under 13, but it does present substantial and expensive roadblocks.
Companies with services aimed at younger kids, such as Disney's Club Penguin, have gone to considerable expense to comply with the law. But most companies, including Facebook, MySpace, and Google+, simply block pre-teens from the service. These rules are specified in the companies' terms of service, and companies generally require members to state their birth date. Any child whose date of birth indicates he or she is under 13 is blocked.

American society has essentially lengthened childhood by creating adolescence.
In a very provocative new book, The Case Against Adolescence: Rediscovering the Adult in Every Teen, psychologist Robert Epstein contends that when mammals reach puberty, they function as adults — except in America that is.

Epstein argues effectively that American culture collaborates in artificially extending childhood through public schooling and labor laws. In most of human history, young people worked side by side with adults from their early teens with young women becoming wives and mothers. Early on, he fingers the labor unions as the culprits behind child labor laws. In 1881, the forerunner to the AFL-CIO made child labor a high priority: "We are in favor of the passage of laws in the several states forbidding the employment of children under fourteen in any capacity, under penalty of fine and imprisonment."

While you cannot go back in time, you can still care for your skin, well, at any age. If you have young girls in your life, you can also always pass on your wisdom to them. You can encourage the use of natural skin care products, for example. For more information about such products, click here.
Here are three skin care tips to consider by age.
Again, during this age bracket, a person is having fun and transitioning into adulthood. Life consists of school, an entry-level job and family. There is probably also dating, friends and a search for a career path. How well a person cares for their skin during their teens and 20s, though, determines how well their skin is going to age. For some individuals, the signs of aging occur no matter what due to their genes, but there are plenty of preventative measures that can be employed, especially during this age bracket.
Daily face washing, the application of sunscreen and moisturizing are musts. Since most people’s skin is never going to look better than it does at this time, avoiding harsh chemicals in make up, getting enough sleep and drinking enough water is also recommended.

Research shows that the number of teens owning a used car has dropped from seven million to four million in only five years. Fewer teens today get their driver’s licenses and more 20-somethings aren’t sold on owning a car. Instead they stay home and use social networks to connect with friends, and move to big cities where mass transit makes car ownership optional.
Teen spending on food and restaurants is at or near the highest level since early-2000. Upper-income and average-income survey respondents increased weekly restaurant expenditures by approximately 10% and 3%, respectively, compared to last fall. Taste remained the strongest influence on food and restaurant dining decisions with value ranking number two.
Skin care and cosmetics represented a larger share of beauty bucks. Teens want greater diversity of offerings, with young and emerging cosmetics brands and new or superior innovations gaining traction.

In Texas a 16 to 17 year-old teen who holds a provisional license is not allowed to drive with more than one non-family member who is under 21 years old in the vehicle and is not allowed to drive between 12:00 am and 5:00 am unless in an emergency or for a work or school related function. Only upon reaching the age of 18 can a teen obtain a full, unrestricted license in Texas. In 17 states, drivers are not eligible for a full license until age 18, and in the District of Columbia, the minimum age is 21.
These restrictions are placed on minor drivers because they lack the maturity and judgment necessary to drive safely and not put themselves and others in harm’s way. As a personal injury lawyer I handle a disproprotionate number of collision cases caused by teens.
And yet a new bill before Congress would lower the age at which a person can drive a big-rig from 21 to 18. The law was introduced this week as part of a larger transportation bill cosponsored by Republican Senators John Thune, Jerry Moran and Deb Fischer.
Unsurprisingly, the American Trucking Association is behind the proposed change. It claims there is a shortage of drivers, but obviously it knows that brand new drivers will be paid far less money than experienced ones.

The findings show that, if the guidelines were introduced in the US and China, more than half of those aged 45-75 years in both countries would be considered hypertensive.
The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) recently released guideline recommendations for hypertension with lower blood pressure values used to define elevated blood pressure, and lower treatment thresholds, than those recommended in current guidelines.
While the impact of changes in guideline recommendations has been evaluated in the US, less is known about how they translate to other populations. China, in particular, has high levels of hypertension and the world’s largest population, so it is important to understand the impact of adopting these standards in China.
A team of researchers, led by Professor Harlan Krumholz at Yale School of Medicine, therefore set out to examine the effect of the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines on the prevalence of hypertension and eligibility for new and more intensive treatment in the US and China.
They analysed nationally representative data for adults aged 45 to 75 years from the US and China who would have a diagnosis of hypertension and be candidates for treatment on the basis of the ACC/AHA guidelines, compared with current guidelines.
The results show that adoption of the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines would dramatically increase the number of people with hypertension and those recommended for treatment.

The issue comes under the provisions of the Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995 (HOPA), which is administered under Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The statute allows communities to permit occupancy by those only 55 years and older and at the same time it also allows for such communities to permit occupancy by those less than the age of 55 years up to comprise up to 20% of the community if the remaining 80% of the occupants are above 55 years of age. In our case, the community operates under bylaws that permit 15% occupancy by those under the age of 55, but not less than 19 years old. The remaining 85% must be 55 or older. This should comport with the regulations under the HOPA, as it appears that HOPA allows for a community to permit any percentage up to 20% to be less than 55 years old.

Starting in 2011, those same seniors also owe elevated premiums for Part D, which covers prescription drugs. These added charges use income “cliffs,” meaning that you pay the full amount if you go over the threshold by even $1.
Many Medicare enrollees pay $96.40 a month for Part B, and some others pay $110.50 or $115.40 a month. (This depends on when they enrolled in Part B and whether the premium is deducted from their Social Security checks.) However, you will pay much more this year if your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds certain levels. For this purpose, MAGI includes tax-exempt interest from municipal bonds and muni funds.
The monthly premiums are per person, so a married couple would pay double that amount if both spouses are on Medicare. Thus, a married couple on Medicare with MAGI of $170,001 would pay $323 a month for Part B ($161.50 times two). Considering that a married couple with MAGI of $170,000 might pay as little as $192.80 a month ($96.40 times two), the extra dollar of MAGI could cost the first couple about $130 a month in extra Part B premiums in 2011.

Did your Medicare Part B premium increase 270% in 2016 from what you paid in 2015? Assuming that your health status hasn’t changed, how is that possible? What about the fact that there was no increase in Part B premiums for Social Security recipients since there was no cost-of- living increase for 2016 benefits?
There are two potential basic Part B premiums in 2016: a hold-harmless premium and a standard premium. Approximately 94% of Medicare enrollees pay the basic premium with 70% paying the hold-harmless premium and 30% paying the standard premium. The 2016 hold-harmless monthly premium is $104.90 and the standard premium is $121.80.
The hold-harmless premium comes into play in any year in which the Social Security cost of living adjustment, or COLA, is insufficient to cover the amount of the Medicare Part B premium increase. Since there’s no Social Security benefit COLA in 2016, the basic Part B monthly premium remains at the 2015 amount of $104.90 for most Medicare enrollees.
As previously stated, approximately 30% of those paying the basic premium aren’t protected by the hold-harmless provision in 2016, paying the standard premium of $121.80. This group includes Medicare beneficiaries who are also eligible for Medicaid, new enrollees, enrollees not receiving Social Security benefits, and higher-income enrollees.

Epiphany is an ancient feast celebrating the appearance or manifestation of God to the whole world. Traditionally celebrated on January 6 (still the practice in some places around the world), the liturgical reforms of 1970 moved Epiphany to the second Sunday of January.
Epiphany was once a more prominent celebration; not only was it the preferred day for gift-giving (in imitation of the Magi), but Christians originally celebrated Epiphany as all the manifestations of the divinity of Jesus prior to the start of his public ministry: his birth (with the visit of the Magi), the presentation in the Temple, the finding in the Temple, his baptism in the Jordan, and even the miracle at Cana.
Here are six ways you can celebrate Epiphany with your kids this year.
A more traditional form of the Epiphany blessing involves using blessed chalk to write the letters C, M, and B, plus the year, above the main entrance to the home (or above the door to each room in the house), like so: 20 + C + M + B + 18. The letters are the initials of the traditional names of the three magi: Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar. They also represent the Latin words Christus mansionem benedicat, which means: “May Christ bless the house.” Of course, the + represents the cross.

Significant media coverage was given to the killing and what role Shepard's sexual orientation might have played as a motive in the commission of the crime.

We hear details and see home movies, videos and photo albums of the personable Shepard growing up with two supportive parents, being interested in school theater and so slight in build and manner that one of his more out-and-proud friends called him a "pocket gay." He was not an especially extroverted type, but did not seem to have an enemy in the world, at least according to this film. But, horribly, that was not the case in October, 1998, when, as a 21-year-old University of Wyoming student in Laramie, Shepard was ambushed by a pair of downwardly mobile roughnecks who robbed him and left him for dead, tied to barb-wire fence.

If the script is good and the performers are committed, that shared communal experience can be overwhelmingly exciting. That kind of excitement permeates this staging of The Laramie Project, a fascinating piece of theatre that essentially chronicles its own creation.
In October 1998, 21-year old Matthew Shepard met Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson at the Fireside Lounge in Laramie, Wyoming. They offered him a ride home but instead drove to a remote area where they robbed him, severely beat him, and left him tied to a fence post, where he remained for eighteen hours.
McKinney and Henderson were subsequently arrested and charged and over the course of their trial it became clear that they targeted this young man because of his sexual orientation.
Moises Kaufman and members of the Techtonic Theatre Project traveled to Laramie just a few weeks after this tragic event to interview hundreds of residents about their reaction – not only to Shepard’s murder but also the media attention that it brought to their town. Those interviews form the basis of “The Laramie Project.” Director Mario D’Alimonte and producer Merle Garbe have assembled a dedicated cast of eight performers to portray 60 different characters as we follow Kaufman and his troupe on their exploration of what really happened to Shepard. It’s not a pretty story. What emerges is an indictment against homophobia and a plea for acceptance or at least tolerance for alternative lifestyles.

This coordinated national public reading, called The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later, will take place Oct. 12, the date of Shepard’s death. The new epilogue will have its premiere across the country that night.
“It’s great when theater can raise our consciousness,” says Edwards.
The Asolo production is free. Donations gathered during the event will benefit the Matthew Shepard Foundation, an organization dedicated to working with local and national groups to provide support and education for anti-hate initiatives. Asolo has also encouraged Sarasota-based LGBT organizations to have a presence in the theater lobby.
The Laramie Project is still one of the most performed plays in America. It was created by Tectonic Theater Project after going to Laramie, Wyoming and interviewing dozens of people; some directly involved in the murder, some not. The production uses a small cast of actors to show many denizens of the rural town, including the deputy who found Shepard’s almost lifeless body, a local cab driver whose customers included the victim, Shepard’s parents, and even the murderers.

It was 20 years ago this weekend that two young men beat Shepard and left him for dead in a remote field. By the time he died of his head injuries six days later, his name had become national news — and a rallying point against bigotry.
That 20-year anniversary was not lost on Thomas.
The play is not a depiction of the deadly attack, but a more subdued and stark observation of the many different reactions that a small town has to a stunning act of violence.

The aftermath was the birth of a play. The Laramie Project illustrates Laramie’s response to Matthew Shepard’s death. The heart-wrenching story presents the views of those both for and against homosexuality. Performed by Maplewood Richmond-Heights High School, the play ignited as much controversy as when the play was first published.

The play draws from multiple interviews, transcripts, and various journal entries and news reports. October 2018 marked the 20th anniversary of his death, and director Catherine Hopkins, theatre teacher, hoped it was executed with passion and emotion.
It’s not very often that high schools see “The Laramie Project” in production because of its crude language and controversial subject. Along with a unique production comes a unique set. This year’s cast brought the audience on stage with them for an up close experience. There were risers on stage and the audience sat just feet from the actors.
Thoroughman is playing multiple parts in the production due to the fact that 63 roles are involved, with only 23 cast members. Before the play was performed, she hoped the cast will be able to do it justice.
Due to this pressure of trying to execute the play correctly, the cast has had to step up their game more than normal. The lead roles were only assigned to veteran actors and the less experienced members are playing the small roles.

Did You Know? As of 2014, Cate Blanchett remains the only actor to win an Oscar for portraying an Oscar winner.
Why are women in cinema always wooed by creepy men molesting them? Oh that’s right, because they’re made by men, who like to stroke their own egos and thereby encourage men to be creepy and to never accept no as an answer.
I want very badly to like Leonardo DiCaprio; he seems to put great effort and dedication into his roles, but I think I’ve decided that I don’t really care for his style of acting. He has to scream in every movie and he’s always scowling in that angsty “I’m a tortured actor” way. His best performances, in my opinion, were What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? and Marvin’s Room, but his subsequent work has seemingly been a quest to obtain that ever-elusive Oscar statuette. Indeed, his roles have become increasingly excessive with garish eccentricities.
Cate Blanchett, on the other hand, is sublime as Katharine Hepburn. Her performance and the beautiful cinematography are the only redeeming aspects of this film.

It�s easy to fathom why modern filmmakers would want to dredge up the past in a style for their latest project. In an age of groundbreaking special effects, fancy rapid-fire editing and gross-out humor, the term �old-fashioned� becomes a compliment rather than a censure. Screwball comedies, archaic ghost stories and even �70s thinking-man�s action films� all come back now and then and present a timeless quality that will likely elude most of the titles even deemed �modern classics� today. Melodrama, however, is usually reserved for golden era television productions and has been relegated to the soap opera and disease-of-the-week variety. It�s mocked by critics and audiences alike, so why would any filmmaker take it upon himself to channel a genre from the bygone era of the cinema?
Not just a genre either, but a filmmaker himself, Douglas Sirk, whose literate melodramatic compositions of the 1950s were initially dismissed as camp but have since garnered a place in film history amongst scholars who cut through the operatic emotion to focus on its subtext. Director Todd Haynes has crafted a film in that very style; one that requires patience as its all-so-subtle underpinnings and overdramatic moments approach the realm of parody and if you didn�t know better, you would swear it was.
Cathy Whitaker (Julianne Moore) seems to be living the All-American life with the All-American family in the All-American town. In the 1950s. Life in the suburbs, a supportive husband (Dennis Quaid), gossip with the gals over a pitcher of daiquiris and magazine reporters

Told by a remarkable cast of five, it’s a mesmeric story that explores a multitude of issues the war has caused in people’s lives. When upper-class soldier Captain Christopher Baldry (Chris Jenkins) returns from war hiding his suffering trauma, he has forgotten his wife and comes back desperately in love with his previous lover Margaret Grey (Naomi Slights.) Margaret is married to her husband William, but still longs for the passionate romance she had with Christopher, yet fears breaking her husband’s heart.
The two women at the centre of the piece, Kitty and Margaret go through a series of emotions that resonates with any era. Naomi Slights gives a sublime performance as Margaret, as her natural characterisation creates a warm and utterly convincing character that the truly audience root for. Despite her kind and loyal husband William doing everything he can to please her, she craves the passion she has with Christopher.

Outside of one explicit encounter, it’s a rather chaste affair marked by touches, glances, and anxious uncertainty. But regardless of how somebody feels about what the film has to say, how it says it – from lush craft to intelligent, sensitive storytelling – distinguishes Carol as one of the year’s best films.
Putting the art in arthouse, Carol is an elegant, sophisticated work both on the surface and deep beneath it, as it penetrates the suppressed, existential underlay of a polished 1950s veneer. Director Todd Haynes collaborates with stars Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara to constrain emotions in a way that heightens them, imbuing an environment tailored to immaculate perfection – Mad Men’s meticulous Matthew Weiner would be jealous – with waves of tension, elation, grief, and melancholy (a soundtrack of the era’s more elegiac songs sure helps).
Based on the Patricia Highsmith novel “The Price of Salt” (which was published at the time of its setting, making it a contemporary – and controversial – book when it hit shelves), Carol is, for modern audiences, sort of a Brokeback Mountain with women.

If the last few thousand years of human history have shown us to be good at one thing, it’s the art of inflicting painful, humiliating death on one another.
A slow and agonizing punishment, this method traditionally saw the victim gradually lowered — feet-first — into boiling oil, water, or wax (although uses of boiling wine and molten lead have also been recorded).
If the shock of the pain did not render them immediately unconscious, the person would experience the excruciating sensation of their outer layers of skin, utterly destroyed by immersion burns, dissolving right off their body, followed by the complete breakdown of the fatty tissue, boiling away beneath.
It seems safe to assume that such a horrendous fate, one of the worst execution methods ever devised, would be reserved for the foulest of murderers, but historical documents refute this.
Emperor Nero is said to have dispatched thousands of Christians in this manner, while in the Middle Ages, the main recipients of the punishment were not killers or rapists but coin forgers, particularly in Germany and the Holy Roman Empire. In Britain, meanwhile, King Henry VIII introduced the practice for executing those who used poison to commit murder.
Shockingly, the practice is believed to have been carried out as recently as 2002, when the government of Uzbekistan, led by Islam Karimov, was alleged to have tortured several suspected terrorists to death in this manner.

What makes Shakespeare so influential to modern stories is his stories' abilities to remain timeless. Romeo and Juliet are quite possibly two of his most well-known characters, although usually people tend to forget about the tragedy part of it, considering it to be naught but a love story. Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet takes the timeless play and brings it to a modern setting setting. Venice Beach in California stands in for Verona, characters carry Sword 9mm handguns (Mercutio carries a dagger, Lord Montague a Longsword machine gun), cars are prevalent, and the costumes/set design were both modernized. The Oscar nom was well deserved, but more on that in a bit.
What makes Baz's adaptation intriguing is that, among the all the lavish and modernized sets and costumes, the original dialogue by Shakespeare remains intact. This is good for people who love the beauty of Shakespeare's language (like me), but painful at times in this movie because the delivery by about half the cast is dreadful. The opening scene is painful to watch considering it is supposed to dramatically set up the conflict brewing between the warring Montagues and Capulets. Instead, it looks like a slapstick comedy with terrible line delivery by sub-par actors and nauseatingly bad cinematography. Leo DiCaprio and Claire Danes perform excellently in their roles as the title characters, plus Paul Sorvino and Pete Postlethwaite bring some much-needed gravitas to their roles by showing the younger actors how Shakespeare line delivery is done.

Suffice to say he wasn’t 18 at the time.
He doesn’t recommend that career kickoff, but he’s sure glad he enterted the business all the same. Erwin used his sports camera experience as a segue into filmmaking.
Four films later, and he’s snared 2018’s biggest box office surprise. His faith-based drama “I Can Only Imagine” earned $17 million on its opening weekend, eclipsing the big-budget “A Wrinkle in Time” in the process.
The film, directed by Jon and Andy Erwin, follows the true story behind MercyMe’s double platinum hit “I Can Only Imagine.” The song fused Bart Millard’s talent and heartbreak in ways that connected with millions. The film of the same title shares how Bart (played by J. Michael Finley) bonded with his father after a turbulent childhood.
His dad (Dennis Quaid) physically abused him growing up but became a changed man after finding Christianity. Their bond, a tortured, delicate affair, is the heart of the film.

Amid the fangs and crucifixes, Abel Ferrara reunited with his King of New York star Christopher Walken for The Addiction, a distinctly personal take on creatures of the night. Philosophy student Kathleen (Lili Taylor, The Conjuring) is dragged into an alleyway on her way home from class by Casanova (Annabella Sciorra, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle) and bitten on the neck. She quickly falls ill but realises this isn't any ordinary disease when she develops an aversion to daylight and a thirst for human blood... Having made a big-budget foray into science fiction two years earlier with Body Snatchers, Ferrara's approach to the vampire movie is in a lower key. Shot on the streets of New York, like so many of his major works - including The Driller Killer, Ms. 45 and Bad Lieutenant¬ ¬- and beautifully filmed in black and white, The Addiction sees the filmmaker on his own terms and at his very best: raw, shocking, intense, intelligent, masterful.

What is director Abel Ferrara trying to tell us? That his film is really about how money and political power go hand in hand? That we should keep a sense of distance from the film and not look for true story melodrama or psychological verisimilitude? It's not clear, and it may not even matter.
Ferrara is an anarchic chameleon of a filmmaker. He straddles genres and flaunts a Times Square/drive-in sensibility that improbably collides with his rough sense of streetwise politics. More respected on the international festival circuit than in the United States, he's made cop movies (The Bad Lieutenant), gangster movies (King of New York), science fiction, horror, a Cassavetes-style drama (the little-seen Go-Go Tales), a slasher film (Driller Killer, which has been called the original video nasty), and even a Biblical film.

Before Vatican II and even after, the Church had the role of the spiritual battle police of the Christian West, holding the line on the most important spiritual and societal issues of the day. As Ferrara writes, "The world understands, even if most Catholics have forgotten, that the Catholic Church is the last barrier against the terminal civilizational apostasy for which the powers that be have been laboring for almost three centuries". Second, the article serves as a warning for traditionalists, both Christian and Jewish, about the dangers inherent in the admiration of the mainstream media.

There's a strange affliction sweeping the town where everyday people are claiming that their closest friends and relatives simply aren't themselves anymore. Hooking up with old sweetheart Becky Driscoll (Dana Wynter) Bennell soon finds that Santa Mera is actually being invaded by communists, sorry, I mean aliens. Aliens. Not communists. Nope, definitely no commies here.

SPAL currently occupies 16th position in the Serie A standings, with four points more than Empoli, who sit in the final drop zone spot of third last, this is thanks to the five more points achieved by the Ferrarese in 2019 compared to last year.
SPAL has won their last two Serie A home games: in a single league, in Serie A, the last time they did better was in 1968.
Two statistics: only Empoli and Fiorentina (both 21) have lost more points than the SPAL from being in an advantage situation during a Serie A match (18). Furthermore, Ferrara's team is the one with the fewest goalscorers in the league (eight).
A three-man defence, a five men in the midfield and a two-man attack: this is the pattern most used by Semplici’s SPAL, as happened, for example, in their last few league games.
Sergio Floccari's first two goals in Serie A came against Juventus in February 2006- out of the strikers in this season with at least 10 appearances, only Sergio Pellissier is older than him.

In 1974, when film historian Lotte Eisner, one of Herzog's idols, was ill and near death in Paris, the director walked from Munich to the French capital in the middle of the winter.
"It was clear to me that if I did it, Eisner wouldn't die," he says. "It wasn't superstition, however, but something the Catholic Church calls assurance of salvation -- an expression one should treat with great caution. I wasn't surprised that Lotte Eisner had already been released from the hospital when I arrived in Paris."
In 1984, when former German Chancellor Willy Brandt seemed to be distancing himself from the goal of reunification, Herzog walked around Germany, "always carefully following the border, because it was clear now that only poets could provide unity." He walked from southern Bavaria to the Danish border, but then he fell ill and had to abandon the undertaking. Nevertheless, it had been enough: The Berlin Wall came down five years later.
Herzog has a penchant for walking himself into ecstasy. He is not interested in excessive drinking or drug abuse. For him, intoxication is something that takes hard work, even suffering.

In Act Two, when the perspective is reversed, showing the set from behind, the humour comes from mistaken motives and a series of emotional crises that afflict the actors in the wings.

His debut Edinburgh Fringe solo-sketch show MOGLICH was critically lauded & toured to Adelaide Fringe and Perth Fringe in 2016. His incisive and insightful writing is coupled with a formidable acting talent honed over six years with Fringe favourites, the improv troupe Racing Minds. The joyous love for absurd narratives and larger-than-life characters familiar their fans still shines through in Walker’s solo work, but here it is mixed with an intricacy of execution and a subtle appreciation for both the surreal and the satirical that transforms those elements into something more than comic. Walker delights in testing the boundaries of what comedy might do, and what an audience might expect from a comedy show. His latest solo show KOMISCHER was a hit at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2016 and will be part of the comedy line-up at Fringe World in Perth in 2017.

Berman died early Friday morning due to complications from Alzheimer’s disease at his home in Bell Canyon, Calif., his publicist confirmed to Variety.
The Grammy winner and Emmy-nominated actor was one of the most successful stand-up comedians of the 1950s and ’60s. His 1959 live record, “Inside Shelley Berman,” was the first comedy album to be certified gold (with more than 500,000 sales) and was the first non-musical recording to win a Grammy Award. Two other albums, “Outside Shelley Berman” and “The Edge of Shelley Berman,” also went gold.
Berman was the first stand-up comicc to perform at Carnegie Hall. He appeared on “The Ed Sullivan Show” more than 20 times and was a guest on shows hosted by Steve Allen, Jack Paar, Dinah Shore, Perry Como, Andy Williams, and Dean Martin.
The Chicago native trained as a serious actor before jumping into comedy as a nightclub performer. His signature bit was to sit cross-legged on a bar stool, act as if he were on the telephone, and improvise long, complicated, one-sided conversations.
Berman appeared as Nat David on HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” between 2002 and 2009, and received an Emmy nomination in 2008. He retired from performing in 2014.
Berman broke into show business in 1943 after his discharge from the U.S. Navy and enrolled at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre acting school. One of his routines involved portraying his own father when the then-18-year-old Shelley called home to ask

Eventually, this defense mechanism developed into a very quick wit, which came in handy as he endured four repressive years of college at the largest Southern Baptist University in the world. In Waco, Texas. How exciting. Now, years later, he has honed a sense of humor that has served him well as one of the smartest and funniest openly gay comics working today.
Originally planning to make his way through the management ranks of a major department store after college, he soon realized that his passion was to be a performer, whether as a singer or actor, and he left his retail career to pursue his dreams. Comedy came into the picture during a Dallas community theater production when the director persuaded Paul and two other cast members to form a comedy/improv group. Calling themselves LESS MISERABLE, the trio became a huge success over a six year period and performed in Los Angeles, New York and Provincetown, as well as garnering a huge hometown following in Dallas. During a summer run in Provincetown, LESS MISERABLE shared a house with another comic who convinced Paul that he needed to go out on his own as a stand-up. The rest, as they say, is history.

By Zack Quaintance — Two weeks ago, writer Steve Orlando and artist Laura Braga put out Wonder Woman #51, a stand-alone story about the depths of Diana Prince’s compassionate stubbornness to not give up on even her most dangerous enemies. That issue was—to me—the best standalone Wonder Woman story in years, a perfect comic that had me tearing up at the depths of our hero’s desire to help. As I wrote in my Wonder Woman #51 review, I loved it.
Wonder Woman #52 sees Orlando returning for a four-part adventure story with the character, this time joined by artist Aco, his collaborator on the 2015 Midnighter run that remains my favorite story about that character. In the intermittent time, both creators have progressed in their craft, and I'm happy to say that it very much shows.
There's just so much to like about this comic. It's confident, bold, and well-paced, but let’s look first at this issue’s plot. Whereas Wonder Woman #51 dove into the qualities and values that make Diana arguably DC’s most admirable hero, Wonder Woman #52 is a fast-paced adventure that makes fantastic use of the actual mythology inherent to the character. What results is, put simply, another great comic.
This is a tight story that expertly plays to Wonder Woman’s status as a figure within mythology to drive its narrative. Diana obviously knows this sector of the DCU well, and the book does a great job conveying this early, so that

There’s a celebratory feel about prolific detective fiction writer Michael Connelly’s 30th novel; as though reaching that milestone isn’t reason enough to break out the champagne, the creator of Hieronymus ‘Harry’ Bosch has decided to switch things up and focus on an entirely new character to keep anxious readers on their toes: introducing 32-year old Renée Ballard, a female journalist-turned-detective and star of the enjoyable new adventure in The Late Show.
But this isn’t displacement; Connelly’s famous detective is approaching 70 and has already long retired (among other things), and facing a growing list of health concerns that would bring down any normal septuagenarian, let alone a fictional supercop on the mean streets of Los Angeles. Last year’s novel, The Wrong Side of Goodbye, definitely made it known that change is afoot, and that all good things must come to an end. When and how Connelly decides to finally ‘retire’ Bosch from literary service is known only to him, but when that happens fans could have a new hero to look forward to with Ballard.
A key to Connelly’s longevity was that he never let his creations become the main focus of the mystery. As much as we root for Bosch, his personality was always secondary to whatever case he was on; his family life, passions, and other details were peppered throughout, often violently so, but Connelly has always been careful to never let readers forget it was

However, there's one game mode that could work incredibly well in the first-person shooter, and one that has become a major sensation in gaming over the last year or so. In short, Battlefield 5 should have a Battle Royale mode.
Of course, the most popular Battle Royale games on the market have already cemented their places in online gaming. Fortnite has become such a major sensation that it has seeped well and truly into overall pop culture, while PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds went from an early access sensation to one of the top ten best selling games of all time in a blink of an eye.
However, Battlefield 5 could offer something different to both, and its pedigree could truly make a Battle Royale mode to be reckoned with.

After all, the inclusion of a 100-person deathmatch mode wouldn't be that much more of a strain that the current 64 player servers.

Like most Mahayana Buddhist Sutras, the origins of the text are not known. It is generally believed that the original was a Sanskrit text dating to about the 1st century CE. The oldest version that survives to the present day is the translation into Chinese made by Kumarajiva in 406 CE. Another Chinese translation, considered to be more accurate, was completed by Hsuan Tsang in the 7th century. The now-lost Sanskrit original also was translated into Tibetan, most authoritatively by Chos-nyid-tshul-khrims in the 9th century.
The Vimalakirti Sutra contains more subtle wisdom than can be presented in a short essay, but here is a brief overview of the sutra.
In this allegorical work, Vimalakirti is a layman who debates a host of disciples and bodhisattvas and demonstrates his deep enlightenment and understanding. Only the Buddha himself is his equal. So, the first point made in the sutra is that enlightenment does not depend on ordination.
Vimalakirti is a Licchavi, one of the ruling clans of ancient India, and he is held in high esteem by all. The second chapter of the sutra explains that Vimalakirti feigns illness (or takes illness into himself) so that many people, from the king to the commoners, would come to see him.

Which of a society’s members are extended the privilege of hoping and dreaming? This question lies at the heart of the Kosovo-born Finnish writer Pajtim Statovci’s internationally acclaimed debut, “My Cat Yugoslavia,” a strange, haunting and utterly original exploration of displacement and desire.
Statovci interweaves the stories of Emine, a young Kosovan bride, and her son, Bekim, whom the aftershocks of exile continue to roil three decades after her fateful wedding to his father. Bekim is a studious gay loner isolated by anxiety, sexuality and the struggle of having grown up a refugee in Finland. Despite a childhood history with ophidiophobic nightmares, he buys a boa constrictor and sets it loose in his apartment. The snake takes up residence under his sofa, driving away his few human visitors, and quickly adopts strangely companionable behaviors more befitting a dog than a reptile.
An urgent longing for love belies Bekim’s inscrutability. We find echoes of that same longing in Emine’s girlhood reminiscences. She is a fiercely intelligent daydreamer at odds with her strict and superstitious father. In one of the novel’s most affecting passages, she realizes that the objective of her education has always been to make her a more suitable wife; she has “never heard of a single female politician, a female teacher or lawyer.” Having reconciled that she can no longer allow herself to dream, she wonders what she can hope for instead.

This album has a more ambient atmosphere, with some sections of slightly denser industrial influence.
The album is both shorter and calmer than its predecessor, and it lacks the heavier percussive parts that were present before. Instead, it focuses on a mixture of white noise, piano, music box melodies, samples, and other effects to create a haunting collection of tracks. Here and there, we hear everyday sounds, decrepit old records, confused female singing, or just people talking.

Since it is a candid conversation with Ms. Davis, she seems to be directing her opinions to us, the viewers, on the other side of the room in an intimate way. The narration by Ian Holm makes a good deal of sense, enhancing what we one is watching.
What this interview could have used was a different format in which, in addition to telling us about herself, more emphasis in her career could have been illustrated with film clips that would have had a more comprehensive and cohesion in examining and illustrating her long association with the cinema.

Authentic funk and soul with a dash of Afrobeat, ‘Wishes & Wants’ was written by Davis in tandem with the Silverbacks musical director and lead guitarist Eduardo Martínez, plus song-writer Marc Ibarz, and it’s a welcome new addition to the lineage of classic soul albums defined by the struggle of a black woman in life, love and loss. Says Davis “We write together - they understand my life story and all I’ve been through”.
Released on Tucxone Records, Tucxone is viewed by funk and soul cognoscenti as a European counterpart to New York’s Daptone Records. Despite having only been in existence since 2013, its artists produce some of the best retro-sounding soul, funk, reggae and afrobeat in Europe – with Davis and the Silverbacks leading the charge.
On ‘Wishes & Wants’ the London diva gives everything, her vocals carrying scorned fury, heartfelt longing and joyous celebration. Her voice echoes the greats of soul music such as Marva Whitney - whom Davis has sung for - and Gladys Knight, as well as contemporary artists such as Macy Gray and Sharon Jones – the latter a friend and mentor to Davis and a pivotal figure in her incredible tale.

Texas Democrat Wendy Davis has had a very awkward few weeks in her bid to become the Governor of Texas, and her seemingly recent conversion to being a gun rights activist doesn’t seem to be winning her any converts.
For those of you who don’t follow Texas state politics, Davis shot to stardom among liberal Democrats last year for an eleven-hour filibuster of Texas Senate Bill 5, a bill which stopped late term (20+ weeks) abortion, recognized that the state had a compelling interest in protecting the unborn from pain, and required abortion clinics meet the standards of other surgical health care facilities, among other issues (we’re not here to debate that, just providing background).
Davis announced her candidacy for governor in October, but in the past few weeks her campaign has all but imploded from a series of scandals, including claims that she fabricated parts of her life story, to revelations that her campaign staff mocked her wheelchair-bound opponent.
Perhaps in an effort to boost her sagging support as a liberal extremist (4th most liberal voting record) in a “red” state, Texas Democrats are now trying to claim that Davis is a gun rights supporter.
A photo op showed an uncomfortable-looking Davis receiving a shotgun that belong to former Texas governor Ann Richards.
This symbolic passing of the torch shotgun was not warmly received in Texas, nor did it come across as especially believable. The photo-op was awkward and contrived, and earned Davis only more mockery.

Eva Illouz rejects these conventional ideas and argues that the culture of capitalism has fostered an intensely emotional culture in the workplace, in the family, and in our own relationship to ourselves. She argues that economic relations have become deeply emotional, while close, intimate relationships have become increasingly defined by economic and political models of bargaining, exchange, and equity. This dual process by which emotional and economic relationships come to define and shape each other is called emotional capitalism. Illouz finds evidence of this process of emotional capitalism in various social sites: self-help literature, women's magazines, talk shows, support groups, and the Internet dating sites. How did this happen? What are the social consequences of the current preoccupation with emotions? How did the public sphere become saturated with the exposure of private life? Why does suffering occupy a central place in contemporary identity? How has emotional capitalism transformed our romantic choices and experiences? Building on and revising the intellectual legacy of critical theory, this book addresses these questions and offers a new interpretation of the reasons why the public and the private, the economic and the emotional spheres have become inextricably intertwined.

With an innovative blend of jazz, soul, folk, and cabaret, “Bridges” is a stunning collection of sultry standards and soulful original compositions, all arranged by the Oakland-based Forkish and backed by an impressive array of studio musicians. Building on the intimate, confessional lyrics and memorable melodies of Forkish’s acclaimed first album, "Between You and Me”, “Bridges” adds new layers and sounds to Forkish’s repertoire. The album is aptly named, as Forkish’s work—from the songwriting to the arranging to the performing—spans genres and generations, connecting classic elements to contemporary approaches. The sound is mature yet playful, romantic yet raw, as Forkish’s rich voice glides through harmonies, lingering low and soaring high. Forkish is a storyteller, and her bold lyrics touch on everything from new romance (opening track “Adrenaline”) to resisting sexual violence (“Solidarity”). Meticulously selected covers range from a bossanova-esque take on “I Could Have Danced All Night” to an uptempo version of Steven Stills’ still-relevant “For What It’s Worth”. Forkish is at ease with fuller, multi-instrument arrangements (“No More Blues”) as well as ones that are stripped down to just piano or guitar (“Adrenaline”).

His artworks were groundbreaking at the time because he externalized his political and social views so uniquely and poetically, even when it came to his graffiti art. The paintings and graffiti works were expressionistic and combined pop culture in such a way that highlighted his brilliance as a visionary, talented artist. Not everyone appreciated the value of his artworks right away, though---in fact, MoMA rejected his paintings for their gallery at the time. Nonetheless, Basquiat continued to paint and to gain fame while becoming friends with Andy Warhol who, in many ways, became like a fatherly figure to him and offered him support. Director Tamra Davis blends intimate, revealing interview footage of Basquiat, her good friend, as well as candid interviews with a wide variety of individuals who knew him: curators, art dealers, gallery owners, artists and even his former girlfriend, Suzanne Mallouk. The archival, never-before-seen interviews with Basquiat show how articulate, intelligent, impassioned, honest, humble and charismatic he was both as an artist and as a human being.

After trying for three years to conceive a child and suffering through the monthly cycle of hope and disappointment, they decided to walk the Camino de Santiago, a joint enterprise—and an act of faith—they hoped would strengthen their marriage and prepare them for parenthood.
Though walking more than 400 miles across the north of Spain turned out to be more difficult than they had anticipated, after a series of misadventures, including a brief stay in a Spanish hospital, they arrived in Santiago. Shortly after their return to Seattle, Lisa became pregnant, and the hardships of the Camino were no comparison to what followed: the stillbirth of their first son and Lisa’s harrowing second pregnancy.
Walking Distance is a moving and disarmingly funny book, a good story with a happy ending—the safe arrival of David and Lisa’s second son, Benjamin. David and Lisa get more than they bargained for, but they also get exactly what they wanted: a child, a solid marriage, and a richer life.

Created and written by Emily Kapnek ("Hung"), the show is about a single dad (Jeremy Sisto) who, after finding a box of condoms in his teenage daughter's room, worries that raising Tessa (Jane Levy) in New York exposes her to too many potentially bad influences. Acting on naively misguided parental panic, George quickly packs the two of them off to the supposedly tamer suburbs. Tessa's reaction is less than joyful: "A boxful of rubbers landed me in a town full of plastic."
It's a small miracle how much basic exposition and out-and-out funny dialogue Kapnek packs into the show's 21 minutes.

Sure, they have the names - Regan, Carter, Haskins - but other than the appropriation of one of the series' most classic lines ("Get your trousers on, you're nicked!") this has little to do with John Thaw's Flying Squad.

In the original film, Brad Whitaker (Will Ferrell) overcame a threat from his stepkids’ biological dad Dusty Mayron (Mark Wahlberg) and the two eventually became pals/good co-fathers.
A new challenge arises when the holidays approach and both their dads come to visit. This means Dusty deals with his alpha male pop Kurt (Mel Gibson) while Brad integrates his sunny, overly chipper old man Don (John Lithgow).
At the end of the first film, Dusty remarried and got a stepdaughter of his own. The movie teased that he’d go through the same experience Brad dealt with, as the story ended with the introduction of Roger (John Cena), a bigger, cooler version of Dusty.
As such, one might expect Home 2 to trace that path, which would’ve led to a semi-remake of the original movie. I’m glad Home 2 avoids that predictable trend and branches into a different thread.
That’s about it in terms of “creativity”, as the rest of Home 2 follows resolutely predictable elements – and even the notion of the granddads lacks originality.

Me and Thomas Brenneman basically came together - I was looking for a lead guitarist because I wanted to start something pretty special last year - so I think he just came into a store that I was working at and I was like, 'hey, dude, I know you play lead guitar,' and he was like, 'well, you know what, I'm actually looking for something,' and away we go. Marty, our drummer, Thomas knew him from a different project that he did and, actually, my twin brother, Ricky, plays bass, so it all worked out.

It's not all bad, though. It manages to look good when it counts (sometimes), and the show does a nice job of picking mood-setting color palettes and avoiding really cheesey loops, reused footage, although it makes judicious use of slow-panning static shots. The worst part for the series, though, is definitely its rampant use of bad-looking CGI for everything from monsters to generic fanboys to (blatant product-placement) Dyson fans. In an age where I thought we were starting to move beyond the stigma of bad CGI, Korezom shows that we're not out of the woods yet. The last episode, which is kind of a joke episode after the main story concludes, is the worst case of this... probably because they blew all their budget on the episode before it.

It's certainly better than "Something 'Bout a Truck," but that's not exactly a stretch. That was a pretty horrid song. Sonically, it bears some resemblance to "Beer Money," though there may be more of an actual country element to this new song.

The art was, not surprisingly, the first thing to catch my attention. It's scanned directly from Larmee's pencils, and it looks as if he's made no attempt to hide or clean up the work. Eraser marks and smudges are common, technical errors are sometimes left in place, and occasionally you can see reversed images from another penciled page which had sat on top of the page you're looking at. In that sense, it's very deliberately raw.

Resurrection, which lasted two seasons on the network, and Prey, which lasted just one, were mentioned by name.
Written/executive produced by Dan Dworkin and Jay Beattie, executive produced by Jason Reed and directed by Rob Bowman, The Crossing revolves around refugees from a war-torn country who start showing up to seek asylum in a U.S. town. But the country these people are from is the U.S., and the war they are fleeing is 250 years in the future.
“Resurrection was canceled prematurely, I assume?” Dworkin asked critics at TCA who’d questioned what would happen if the network “pulls the plug” prematurely. He’d been asked why critics/viewers should make that “leap of faith and watch week after week” after being burned by their Resurrection experience.
“We don’t have much to say in the programming decision,” Dworkin acknowledged, but said “I can tell you we shot a whole season and each episode is going to give [viewers] something to make them want to come back.” The season finale, he said, will give viewers a “whole host” of reasons to come back for Season 2.

As thousands of refugees land daily on the Greek island of Lesvos, world-renowned photographer Giles Duley documents the relief and suffering of reaching dry land.
It is hard to describe the scenes I saw in my first few hours on Lesvos. I have covered conflict and humanitarian disasters around the world, but I have rarely witnessed such scenes.
I am on assignment for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, documenting the refugee crisis across the Middle East and Europe. The events that have unfolded in the past few years are unprecedented in scale and scope. Not since the Second World War have so many people been forced to flee their homes. UNHCR estimates there are some 60 million displaced worldwide, with over 4 million Syrians alone leaving their war-torn country to seek safety in neighbouring countries and Europe.
My project is focused on telling the individual stories of those caught up in this crisis. These are not statistics, these are not numbers – these are individuals fighting for survival and the safety of their families.

Fabio Bucciarelli is a freelance photojournalist who has followed the story of refugees fleeing the revolutions and wars that followed the 'Arab Spring' since they began in 2011.
When the first refugees - immigrant workers from Bangladesh and sub-saharan countries - were fleeing from violence in the Benghazi region of Libya, Bucciarelli recognized the tremendous suffering and intractable situation facing them. There were hundreds of men and women struggling to flee the conflict: a river of souls who came to Libya to work and found themselves in limbo, in a foreign country torn by war with no way of returning home.
From these first encounters with refugees, Bucciarelli has dedicated himself to documenting the causes and consequences of this stream of humanity fleeing conflict. His work has taken him from Sicily to Syria, Libya, Turkey, Iraq, Tunisia, Egypt, Serbia, Macedonia and to the small Greek island of Lesbos where refugees arrived from Turkey by the boatload every day.
Bucciarelli calls his book “The Dream” because, without a dream to sustain them, the people who make up this remarkable stream of humanity could never make the torturous journey in search of refuge. "The Dream" tells their stories, reveals their humanity and shows the strength of people who are sustained by a dream to be free of war, to find safety, to recover their dignity and to build meaningful lives again.
Bucciarelli has received the Robert Capa Gold Medal for his work from Syria and many other awards

Of all the books that I read, one thing that has stuck in my mind is Jeremy Paxman’s evocative description of the Christmas Truce of 1914 – in his book “Great Britain’s Great War”.
He describes the situation, 5 months into the First World War – with the armies stranded in their trenches, often only a few dozen yards apart, and an expectation that little would change until the following Spring.
Pope Benedict XV proposed that there should be a “Truce of God” to honour the feast of Christmas – but this faltered, partly because for the Russian Army Christmas would not be celebrated until 6th January. Senior British Officers were said to be relieved by this rejection and one General Sir Horrace Smith-Dorrien issued an order specifically banning “unofficial armistices and the exchange of tobacco or other comforts.” There was some confusion, then, in the British trenches when, on 23rd December, lights appeared on the horizon – until it became clear that German troops had erected Christmas Trees.
What followed seems to have been a series of uncoordinated and unpremeditated truces along the front. English soldiers heard strains of “Stille Nacht” and “O Tannenbaum” and responded with their own English songs – sacred and otherwise!

In the era when Prof. Jonathan Moyo made the 75% local content bill, RnB, Dancehall, Hip-hop and any urban genres were collectively put under a category called urban grooves. I have proof of this because even at award shows Maskiri would be nominated with Ngoni, regardless that their genres are obviously different. That would never have been urban grooves. Of course the Sanii Makhalima’s still fight for the propagation of that term but to the rest of us that term is a diss to Zim Hip hop. That said, let’s accept Stunner as a Zim Hip-hop artiste.
Oh, I’ve also argued with some of you about Noble Stylz been a part of this. See the thing is, when you deny Stunner, Maskiri and Noble Stylz their Zim Hip-hop status based on the language and instrumentation then you are saying Hip-hop is confined to American instrumentation and American Accents.

Rock-and-roll is heavily tied to biker culture, while country music is inextricably linked to rural culture. Hip-hop, as the genre most reflective of our everyday experiences, is perhaps most strongly influenced by outside niche cultures and public figures. (Just look up how many times Madonna, Bill Gates, Nia Long, and Michael Jordan have been mentioned on hip-hop tracks!) And aside from maybe the most boastful showman, Muhammad Ali, legendary singer and activist Bob Marley has undeniably influenced hip-hop, as well. In fact, hip-hop owes most of its sound, structure and swag to reggae and larger Jamaican culture.
Many of us are familiar with the technique of "scratching," which is when a DJ uses records on a turntable to cause friction and create a rhythmic, high-pitched noise. Though this method became popular in New York's South Bronx, it was actually created in Jamaica as "dubbing." Reggae records would have an A-side of fully composed songs; the B-side would contain chopped-up remixes of the original songs that allowed the record cutters (the original DJs) to manipulate different components of the track.
The mastering of dubbing in reggae allowed an artist to "toast"—the predecessor to rapping or emceeing—over instrumental versions of songs. Jamaican DJs usually existed only to hype up songs, but dubbing pioneer King Tubby set a new standard with his emphasis on giving bass and rhythm a prominent spot on his remixes. Tubby commissioned DJ extraordinaire U-Roy to toast over

We have filmmakers Tina Brown and Dyana Winkler to thank for bringing this lesser-known subculture to light. Together, they deliver a fun look at the nationwide love of roller skating within many black communities and a so-so argument as to why its fading presence is a cause for concern.
The film focuses primarily on adults who skate in the evening, frequently called “Adult Nights,” where there is usually a DJ who plays hours of hip-hop and R&B. These skate sessions often include different forms of dance, gymnastics and even acrobatics. Kentucky Throws, Baltimore Snapping, Texas Slowwalk, Atlanta Jackknife, Ohio Stride – these are just some of the signature moves you’ll find at roller rinks across the country.
Watching these passion-fueled skaters roll dance on two wheels, swing through each other’s legs and back handspring across the floor is awesome entertainment. Not everybody can pull off the flashy tricks, so the less-skilled skaters hang out just outside the boards to admire and applaud. But everyone participates in rolling around the rink, and they’ve all got pep in their strides, big smiles across their faces and a glow in their hearts.
Skate events like these formed during more segregated times then evolved, reaching their peak during the ’80s and ’90s, about the same time rap and breakdancing emerged from the underground scene.

Beats will be the backbone of all hip-hop. If you're to the cheeky one-two of Dre's Eminem productions or juddering steps of Dj Premier, you need to be sure that regardless of anything else is playing, your beat still stands up to scrutiny. As US comic Chris Rock put it: "If the beat's alright, they'll dance through the night."
As we've already seen, hip-hop beats commenced as breaks from records, beatboxes and sampling drum machines, so its a breeze for hip-hop produced over a computer to sound a bit lifeless. Live playing and clever quantisation can fix this, though. The main trick is always to maintain it sparse and once you do have a basic groove going, try applying for different percussive hits before adding more.

It’s generally believed that it was during that decade that both rapping and production reached their peaks. Since then, however, hip hop has changed a whole lot.

Evan Lyndell Parker, 34, was found hanging in the same jail cell where Bland died four years prior, the guards discovering his body on the early morning of Jan. 25, news station KHOU 11 reported. Parker, who was booked into the jail Jan. 10 for murder and aggravated assault charges, was rushed to a hospital but died from his injuries two days later on Jan. 27.
“At this time there is no information to show that any procedures or guidelines were not followed by the jail staff,” the department added.
Parker was the suspect in a gruesome workplace attack in which he fatally stabbed 64-year-old Harry Parnell, a co-worker at Orizon Industries in Brookshire, Texas, and injured another man on Jan. 9. Waller County Sheriff Glenn Smith said Parker was in a cell alone and didn’t show any signs of being suicidal.
The sheriff added that jail staff checked on him every 15 minutes.
Parker’s death has raised prior issues from the Bland case, which is eerily similar. The 28-year-old was found hanging in her cell three days after a routine traffic stop in July 2015. Her death was ruled a suicide, but her family members and activists had their doubts and accused the sheriff of a cover-up.

The inner rage must have been overwhelming for this man, who was cutting himself and crying out day and night (v. 5). Consider the degree of loneliness and resentment you would feel after being abandoned by those closest to you — your family that had determined your life was hopelessly out of control. Who knows how long it had been since this man had a meal or an embrace from anyone who cared!
Consider the man in verses 21-24. He was a leader in the community with a reputation of being deeply religious, yet his daughter lie at the point of death. Imagine the sheer agony of a parent facing the real possibility of burying his child.
Consider the woman in verses 25-28. She had suffered with an infirmity for twelve years and had been told by doctors her condition was incurable. Mark does not mention her husband or family, so we may assume she was trying to deal with all this by herself.

As a creator, director and producer, Freleng has created or contributed to many of the most memorable and award-winning cartoons in animation history. He began at Warner Bros. in 1930 after coming from Disney, and garnered his first screen credit on "Sinkin' In The Bathtub," which was Warner Bros.' first cartoon.
Freleng remained at Warner Bros. for 33 years (Except for a two year stint at MGM, where he organized a new animation department). During this time he was a major developer of Warner Bros. characters, producing and directing over 300 cartoons featuring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety and Sylvester and others. Clearly evident in all of Freleng's cartoons was a unique talent for synchronizing the visual gag and the accompanying background music. Additionally, Freleng's modifications to such Warner Bros. mainstay characters as Sylvester and Tweety has been so successful, the studio has not been compelled to change the characters ever since. While at Warner Bros. Freleng was honored with four Academy Awards, and nominated for seven others.
In 1963, Freleng teamed up with David DePatie to form DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, which in addition to Warner Bros. cartoon shorts, also produced the Pink Panther series, which first appeared in the opening titles of the Blake Edwards motion pictures of the same name.

In the immediate future, LBG is most concerned with getting tenants into the space and reinventing Hilltop’s image in the community. “Our goal right now is to not be charging market rents. Our goal is to just fill the spaces,” Lundin said.
To that end, LBG says it will offer discounted rates to encourage local home- and e-businesses to create popups at Hilltop during the holiday rush. Lundin hopes that customers will be excited..

Amid contemporary design trends, this cookie-cutter mall form seems a bit like old bubblegum; a historical footnote on the shoe of what may be accepted, or even expected from designers today: a more daring, free-form standard of commercial architecture. However, at the time of the first ever shopping mall’s creation, the “Southdale” mall standard was a pleasurable, a comfortable, covered place of safety.
Creating a practical sanctuary was original mall architect Victor Gruen’s objective, in fact, when he built America’s first commercial mall, Southdale in Edina, Minnesota (completed c. 1955), he did so with blast-proof steel and reinforced concrete, and equipped his mall with an independent generator, as well as an extensive underground subsection meant to double as a fallout shelter. Gruen’s design was duplicated countless times over across the country, and even today, many Southdale-style malls still stand as a reminder of the morbid practicality demanded from everyone, even architects, during an age of fear.

French Market is an open air 6 block shopping city under the open sky. There can be as many as 220 vendors during good shopping weekends. Visitors can sample local delicacies, such as gumbo and jambalaya, support local artists by buying local t-shirts, art, and hats while listening to live music. All of this provides for a great shopping experience.
The mall has a long history and has been located on the same 200-acre land for 200 years. Shoppers are often looking for droopy women's sun hats, unique coasters, and shawls/sarongs. Just like everywhere else, there are plenty of kitschy items,

Since then Jacobson has also directed Shane in the comedy short film Mordy Koots. Brother’s Nest is an absurdist tragedy that pits two brothers against each other in a bizarre and twisted murder plot that goes awry. Its amoral tone is very different to the amiable Kenny and has more in common with the Coen brothers and Hitchcock.
Siblings Jeff (Clayton) and Terry (Shane) plan to murder their stepfather Rodger (Kim Gyngell) to ensure that they inherit the family home when their terminally ill mother (Lynette Curran, from A Few Less Men, etc) finally passes away. Jeff, who is bitter and paranoid and largely blames Rodger for the suicide of their father, has conceived the elaborate plan and has made meticulous preparations, including the perfect alibi for the pair. He plans to make Rodger’s death look like a suicide.
Early one morning the pair enter their childhood home, don protective clothing, masks and gloves to ensure they don’t leave any DNA traces behind.

For the three generations of one indigenous family who travel to small, dusty towns, playing their music for coins, the struggle is written on their unsmiling faces and in their plaintive, haunting songs.
Shot in black and white, it starts badly in a claustrophobic, darkly lighted space (during an unidentified time), with a soldier having his sadistic way with another man, who whimpers in a chair, his hands tied behind him. The director, Francisco Vargas, thrusts us right in the middle of this awful scene, with the camera close to the ground and behind the victim. We can’t see the tortured man’s face, but we watch him squirm and hear his moans, along with those of several other restrained men and women.

The Unraveling, a work designed for twelve monitors, reconsiders this cinema landmark by subjecting each of these ten shots to the slitscan technique. This method smears time across the horizontal axis of the screen: The right-hand side of the screen shows pixels almost a minute earlier than the left. The original film is already verging on the abstract: The central focus of Rope, more than the characters or plot, is the inescapable gaze of the camera as it transverses and explores the claustrophobic space of the single room in which the action takes place.
By spatializing the camera’s temporal movement, and showing each shot on a separate screen, The Unraveling proposes a new perspective on both the form and content of the original film.
The small vocabulary of objects and characters, simultaneously appearing in different perspectives, provide a kind of Cubist simultaneity, revealing the tight drama of every visual element in the work, while the movement of the camera is transformed into a visual liquefaction of space and object. The relentlessly unfolding, unbroken time of the film becomes a landscape, a panorama of a single apartment in a single afternoon.
Although the original film is not terribly concerned with telling a story – the unblinking gaze remains the star throughout – the characters, involved in an almost satanic charade of concealment, continuously appear, dissolve, and reform.

Set in just one room in a family home, the 9 minute film covers two decades as we see the ups and downs of the parents and their two sons. Characters drift in and out of shot, looking in one direction and then appearing from another.
If you want to truly understand exactly how Woerd and the crew achieved this magnificent single-shot effect, Woerd has also put together an immersive behind the scenes video. Camera movements were cleverly duplicated through a programmable rig, giving a seamless look and feel that is never jarring. You may find yourself straining to see the joins between the shots, but you won’t have much luck.

It is a film of such effortless intimacy, subtle glances and authentic details that only two native New Orleanians could have made it.
During slavery, Faubourg Tremé—a neighborhood near the French Quarter—was home to the largest community of free Black people in the Deep South and a hotbed of political ferment. Black and white, free and enslaved, rich and poor co-habitated, collaborated, and clashed to create much of what defines New Orleans culture up to the present day.
The film tells the history of the radical roots of this New Orleans community where during slavery, Black people could earn their freedom and purchase a house. Where sit-ins, almost a century before Rosa Parks, won the integration of public transportation.

Things start out with an unsolved mystery in which a young school girl meets a shocking and entirely unpredictable fate. After providing this opening jolt, surely one of the most inexplicable in all of cinema, the film leaps forward three years. Here The Appointment settles, for a while at least, into the mundane. Ian, a father (The Wicker Man’s Edward Woodward), must break the news to his daughter (who may or may not be the same girl from the opening) that he won’t be able to attend her violin recital due to a work commitment in London. From a plot perspective, the rest of the film follows his tormented journey into London. In practice, The Appointment is much stranger.
Vickers seems rather uninterested in establishing coherent continuity here. As a result, The Appointment is perhaps best described as a dream film. As it proceeds, Ian’s journey becomes increasingly apparent as a descent into a private hell. His familial squabbles escalate and his dreams become tormented by visions of three vicious dogs. The director becomes increasingly interested in the environment as the film unfolds, devoting many long, unmotivated pans past the characters to the spaces that they inhabit.

For most writer/directors, obstacles to getting their films off the ground and realising their vision include getting a sufficient budget, cast availability, insurance and distribution. For Jafar Panahi (The White Balloon), who along with Asghar Farhadi, is arguably the most lauded Iranian director working today, the main obstacle is political. Even before 2010, his award-winning films, The Circle and The Mirror have been banned in Iran. Since 2010, a government imposed 20-year ban on making films or leaving his country is a challenge few if any directors have had to face.
This is Not a Film – smuggled out of Iran in a flash drive in a cake to open the Cannes Film Festival in 2011 – was a direct response to the threat of six-years in prison for ignoring the sentence. This was followed by Closed Curtain in 2013 and Taxi in 2015, both sweeping top prizes at the Berlin Film Festival.
In his latest film, 3 Faces, Panahi, playing a fictitious version of himself, advises a hysterical production manager whose lead actress (Behnaz Jafari) has walked off the set and has nothing else to shoot: ‘silver-lining; you’ll find a solution’. Panahi, who has become adept at subverting the ban with underground filmmaking that packs a punch, finds another solution in a multi-layered critique of Iranian society.
The film, shot in Panahi’s neo-realist style, but with a determined menacing and claustrophobic feel throughout thanks in part to Amin Jafari’s creative cinematography, begins with a home-video

Their lonely dreams about the future is lost in the everyday routine with the auto repair shop and refridgerator agency.
a classic in the 'coming-of-age' genre..
When Pär (Rolf Sohlman) meets Annika (Ann-Sofie Kylin) something magical happens! At first the two teens do not quite know what it is - they have never been in love before, they do not know how to react. But as time goes by it becomes apparent that Pär and Annika were meant for each other. Slowly but surely their parents also begin to see what everyone else already knows.
Director Roy Anderson's En Kärlekshistoria a.k.a A Swedish Love Story (1970) is a surprisingly mature effort at describing teenage love to those who have never experienced it. Honest, sweet, and beautifully shot this is also a film that captures marvelously the spirit of a country on the verge of a massive economic crisis.
The greatest strength of this picture, a key element that will reappear in Anderson's later works, is the meticulous character exploration made possible by long and devoid of unnecessary glamour takes. The director's camera is frequently focused at accentuating different aspects from the main protagonists' personas that would have likely escaped the viewer's attention.

A survival drama that pits one man against the ocean, this is on a par with films like Gravity for the way it impresses as a piece of spectacle that never loses sight of the human emotions at its core. But what makes it all the more impressive is the performance that anchors it, a near wordless and extremely physical piece of acting that rewards screen veteran Redford with one of the best roles of his esteemed career.
The film hits the ground running. A lone sailor is awoken from his sleep somewhere in the Indian Ocean by a bang that turns out to be a shipping container rubbing against the side of his vessel. Unfortunately, the container has breached the side of his boat and water has started to pour in.
The man successfully patches this up but finds the damage is more widespread than at first thought: it has cut him off from the rest of the world as his electronics are largely fried.

They call their terrible new world Gilead.
A young married couple attempt to escape across the border with their small daughter; the husband is killed, the child confiscated, and Kate, the brand-new widow (Natasha Richardson in flowing, nubile form), finds herself in a kind of concentration camp, where she will be taught to be a Handmaid; a breeder for the new elite.

Computer-generated imagery, darkness, claustrophobia, jump-scares and loud music – these are just some of the components that mix to formulate a conventional horror film of the 21st century. The aforementioned ingredients are overindulged and rinsed by contemporary horror filmmakers to the point where their films are becoming utterly predictable, widely tedious and, frankly, pointless. Occasionally, however, rarities occur that challenge these genre conventions and provide audiences with a certain unique originality that was last prominent during the great 1980s. A few years ago it was A Cabin in the Woods that possessed this quality, now, in 2015, it’s It Follows.
Having been raised in a period of oozing Hollywood-modernist cinema that saw the uprising of monumental late-1970s and 80s horror films such as The Shining, The Evil Dead, A Nightmare on Elm Street and John Carpenter masterpieces, Halloween and The Thing, writer-director David Robert Mitchell has clearly been inspired by these and arguably owes them a great debt. So, with the retro-80s set, costume and quite superb score in mind, is it any coincidence that Mitchell has centred It Follows in this ground-breaking period of horror?
It Follows is all about the experience. Although its plotline is comprehendible, the film’s profoundly-allegorical inner-meaning is what makes it ambiguous and, to some, slightly perplexing.

Arguably the main character is the house in which the film's two stories unfold: a creaking wooden house that looks like it's about to topple over in a small Japanese coast town. Here, we witness a daughter jealous about her mother's new boyfriend, and a mysterious woman who takes in an amnesiac she found asleep and alone on a ferry. Kiyohara's way of structuring the narrative means that the two stories and timelines never overlap. Instead, we simply have two stories set in the same place and time that are completely separate. As strategy as simple as it is daring.
Kiyohara's intention is not so much to compel through narrative but to open up the possibility that our reality is not singular and comment on the fragility of memory in perception. Yet through the hint of ghosts, menace and the uncertainty of perspective in the film she creates a haunting tone similar to David Lynch. Moments where the two stories in the same house interact are slight but do occur: the teenage girl pokes a hole in her bedroom wall that the amnesiac later looks through, and the teenage girl throws a vase that hits an attacker who is bearing down on the young woman and the amnesiac.

While next-generation massive parallel sequencers are heading toward a 1 genome per day threshold, with significant impact on medical and environmental research (Sastre 2011; Shokralla et al 2012), the overall number of known protein structures remains well below 105 as their determination still relies on techniques such as crystallography and NMR which are time consuming, expensive and do not always work, despite the efforts made to automate the experimental flow in crystallization factories (Stuart et al, 2006) and the emergence of over 20 consortiums of Structural Genomics (Chandonia & Brenner, 2006) aiming at large scale 3D protein structure solving in Europe, United States and Japan.

It did so by selling low-margin non-core assets and then used the cash proceeds to shore up its balance sheet and return some of the excess to investors.
The market is beginning to take notice of these improvements, evidenced by the fact that the stock has vastly outperformed its peers over the past year. From its analyst and investor meeting in November 2016 to this year&apos;s conference earlier in the month, the stock had delivered a total return of more than 14% while most energy stocks declined in value.

ConocoPhillips got right to work implementing this strategy in 2017, and within a few short months, it vastly exceeded its ambitious expectations. Thanks in part to the sale of several Canadian assets to Cenovus Energy (NYSE: CVE), the company is on pace to pull in $16 billion in proceeds this year. That provided it with the cash to achieve its three-year financial goals in just over a year, putting it on the path to repurchase $3 billion in stock and getting debt down to $20 billion by the end of 2017, which is nearly $9 billion below where it was in early 2016.

When the mantle move it makes earthquakes. The top layer moves around because the solar system pushes it around.

I claim that cooled down magma or rock causes the Earth’s mantle to move. My evidence is on diagram 4 it shows a ridge, and on diagram 2 it shows magma rising and when magma rises it turns into rock. And because it gets cooled down by the water above it, it gets more rock and new rocks mean that the older rock from before gets pushed down and gets burnt/recycled, causing a loop.
The Earth’s Tectonic plates move because of plumes of lava rapidly moving up pushing the plates. This process is similar to the way water moves ice under a frozen lake.

Traditionally one of the most common power quality problems, voltage sags, which are also known as voltage dips or rms voltage variations, are capable of causing hours of downtime. For today’s computer-dependent businesses, even the smallest sags can produce substantial problems, from loss of data to disruption of the production line. Because voltage sags can be caused by multiple factors, both by internal events such as the start-up of a large load or by a fault on the power system itself, they have been difficult to address. Key to resolving the problem is identifying the source of the problem — and whether that problem is inside the facility or in the distribution network of the supplier. Within the facility, the Sag Directivity Answer Module can determine where the sag occurred in relation to the monitoring location.
The Sag Directivity Answer Module detects a voltage sag event, identifies its characteristics and determines the direction of its location relative to the monitoring point. The Answer Module is invoked when both waveform samples are present. Using proprietary techniques, the Answer Module compares rms magnitudes computed from both current and voltage waveforms, tracking positive sequence phase angle changes from pre-fault to post-fault. Based on this data, the direction of the fault is determined with a high degree of accuracy, enabling power customers to determine whether the fault occurred upstream or downstream of the monitoring point.

An intriguing example of France’s fascination with Japanese culture in the early 20th century, Max Ophuls’ Yoshiwara is the story of a love triangle between a geisha, a Russian military officer and a family servant.
Considered something of a curiosity in the oeuvre of French filmmaker Max Ophuls, Yoshiwara is the story of a love triangle between a geisha, a Russian military officer and a family servant. An intriguing example of France’s fascination with Japanese culture in the early 20th century—which also led to a craze for Utamaro’s work—this rarely screened classic also features the romantic themes and visual splendor of Ophuls’ better-known works.

Empires fall, love survives. When Michael (Oscar Isaac), a brilliant medical student, meets Ana (Charlotte Le Bon), their shared Armenian heritage sparks an attraction that explodes into a romantic rivalry between Michael and Ana's boyfriend Chris (Christian Bale), a famous American photojournalist dedicated to exposing political truth.

Add to that list a project called Mr. Romance, based on the real life annual competition where attractive men compete to see who has the highest "romantic IQ." Jeff Roda, of the upcoming Siege of Fulton Avenue, will write the screenplay. The story is actually based on an article that Joshuah Bearman was commissioned to write for GQ magazine.
The film's story will follow a cynical guy who is forced to enter the Mr. Romance competition to win back the love of his life. Doesn't sound too original to me. "Romance novels sell 50% of all books, and there is a convention where guys submit themselves to physical and psychological tests to determine their romantic IQ," Gordon said of the event. New Regency is developing the project but doesn't have a start date. It's likely it'll take a few years to actually come together, given the script hasn't even been written yet.

Vicki-Ann Hurley (Rebecca Frith) and her younger sister Dimity (Miranda Otto) are both feeling stagnant in the tiny outback town of Sunray, and they welcome the distraction provided by the arrival of Ken Sherry (George Shevtsov), a formerly popular radio personality fallen on hard times. Despite his present circumstance, the burnt-out Sherry retains an aura of faded prestige that attracts both sisters. Vicki-Ann sets out to seduce the disc jockey, but it is Dimity who first draws Sherry's attention, setting the stage for a conflict between the sisters. First-time filmmaker Shirley Barrett plays this conflict not for romantic melodrama but for comedy, focusing on how Vicki-Ann and Dimity adapt to their experiences with the mysterious Sherry, whose enigmatic demeanor may hide a deeper secret. Barrett plays out this triangle against a detailed portrait of a failing town, emphasizing the distinctive local color and oddball characters in a manner that should appeal most to those with a taste for the unusual.

Intended as and successful as a dark comedy with an open heart, Dissolve just had its debut at the CineYouth Film Festival where it started off its festival journey with a win.

It's called ``Parallel Lives'' - three separate stories, to debut in March, that will be updated each week in the Time's electronic service featured on America Online.
Each week, users of the service, called @times, will be able to find out the latest of what's happening to the characters of ``Urban Studies'' (a look at several New Yorkers), ``One Point Seven'' (a middle-class black family that lives in Los Angeles), and ``A Boy and His Dog'' (a single mother who raises her family in a small Pennsylvania town). Each work comes with its own on-line illustrations. Nearby, the sponsor will post messages.
If this sounds familiar, it is. For decades, publishers have released works of fiction chapter by chapter to keep readers coming back for more.
``We've had a lot of well-known writers whose work has been serialized,'' says Betty Winfield, a specialist in mass-media history at the University of Missouri at Columbia. Charles Dickens, Edgar Allen Poe, and Mark Twain all used the technique.
In 1932, the American conglomerate Procter &amp; Gamble Company updated the idea by sponsoring the first radio soap opera. Serialized fiction melded with advertising - a concept that TV later picked up with great success.

Retrieved Text: Of Homer's two epic poems, the Odyssey has always been more popular than the Iliad, perhaps because it includes more features of mythology that are accessible to readers. Its subject (to use Maynard Mack's categories) is "life-as-spectacle," for readers, diverted by its various incidents, observe its hero Odysseus primarily from without; the tragic Iliad, however, presents "life-experience": readers are asked to identify with the mind of Achilles, whose motivations render him a not particularly likable hero. In addition, the Iliad, more than the Odyssey, suggests the complexity of the gods' involvement in human actions, and to the extent that modern readers find this complexity a needless complication, the Iliad is less satisfying than the Odyssey, with its simpler scheme of divine justice. Finally, since the Iliad presents a historically verifiable action, Troy's siege, the poem raises historical questions that are absent from the Odyssey's blithely imaginative world.
2. The author suggests that the variety of incidents in the Odyssey is likely to deter the reader from.
(E) accepting Maynard Mack's theory that the poem's subject is "life-as-spectacle"
4. It can be inferred from the passage that a reader of the Iliad is likely to have trouble identifying with the poem's hero for which of the following reasons?
(A) The hero is eventually revealed to be unheroic.
(B) The hero can be observed by the reader only from without.
(C) The hero's psychology is not historically verifiable.
(D) The hero's emotions often do not seem appealing to the reader.

Welcome, Andrei!
What sparked your interest in eighteenth-century prisons?
I was thinking about The Raven’s Seal for a long time before I began writing. The book really started with the idea of a young gentleman unjustly imprisoned and forced to rise through the prison to make his escape. This was partly suggested to me by Casanova’s imprisonment in and escape from “The Leads,” the cells of the Doge’s palace in Venice. I was also fascinated by Piranesi’s extraordinary series of etchings, Carceri d'Invenzione (Prisons of the Imagination). So the mystery story and main characters came before the setting. When I began to research prisons more closely, it was clear that the chaotic, unregulated eighteenth-century prison would be a much more productive setting than the regimented “reformed” prisons of the Victorian period.
Is Bellstrom Gaol based on or inspired by a real eighteenth-century prison?
The Bellstrom combines a lot of elements of different prisons across a substantial and turbulent period. I selectively used several elements of the eighteenth-century prison experience—and overlooked a few others (such as transportation) in favor of a consistent story. My main inspirations were London’s notorious Newgate Prison (also the setting for John Gay’s The Beggar’s Opera) and the Marshalsea, the debtors’ prison which Dickens described in Little Dorrit.

Unlike Eugene and Katrina, who have wonderful chemistry and who's relationship has set the stage for some amazing episodes, Mitch and Connie's relationship can be summed up in one word: Nauseating.

Though not as existentially unnerving as “Ex Machina,” it’s one of the most ambitious head movies ever made, laced with trace elements of Carpenter’s “The Thing” and Tarkovsky’s “Stalker,” with a little Lovecraft and “Alien” thrown in for good measure. Fair warning: frustration is a built-in part of the experience.
The mystery box that drives the story is a phenomenon dubbed ‘The Shimmer,’ an extraterrestrial energy field with a soap-bubble sheen that springs up in the Florida marshes. It is studied for years, and though plenty of drones and personnel are sent into it, nothing ever comes back – until a soldier, Kane (Oscar Isaac), returns home to his biologist wife, Lena (Natalie Portman), a year after she has written him off as dead.
Kane is unwell, and to get to the root of his illness Lena joins an expedition into the Shimmer consisting of four other women: psychologist/team leader Dr. Ventress (Jennifer Jason Leigh), paramedic Anya (Gina Rodriguez), physicist Josie (Tessa Thompson), and anthropologist Cass (Tuva Novotny).
The subsequent odyssey posits more questions than it answers as the team traverses an increasingly surreal landscape. It’s tricky material for even the most skilled of filmmakers, but Garland deftly avoids over-explaining Annihilation‘s mysteries (what little of them are explained, that is) or watering down the story into something more mainstream.

Soap operas are different from most other media programming -- they appear formless, refuse to end, require little work on the part of the viewer, and bear no recognizable marks of authorship.

Nelly (Felicity Jones) lives in rural England, where she’s married to the local school master and assists with the staging of the children’s plays. On the surface she has a charmed life, but it’s quickly obvious that she’s distracted, often lost in seemingly unhappy thoughts. Nelly, who is from a family of actors, came into the company of Mr Charles Dickens (Ralph Fiennes) through her and her family’s work and socialising in theatre circles, in which Dickens was also active.

Unfortunately, I wasn't familiar with the reportedly remarkable creation of American Pole (and hereditary nobleman, by the way) Sigmund Snopek III until now, until I received just his latest album "Trinity: Seas-Seize-Sees" from Musea (while I know that this talented musician, lyricist and composer's career began far back in the end of the 1960s). The "Trinity" album is not a reissue of some early work of Snopek, but an official release of the genius's most important album-project, the work on which started way back in 1971 and wasn't completed until 1999. Actually, all the three parts of "Trinity" were recorded separately in 1973, 1996 and 1999, while in the years between these three recording sessions Sigmund has worked on both the remaining parts of the trilogy "Seas-Seize-Sees". The fact that exactly "Musea" was chosen by Snopek concerning the release of his life-work I regard as a Sign. "Trinity" has become a real discovery for me. Apart from the great "Jesus Christ Superstar", I don't know of other real Rock Operas (in which the number of singers is equal to the number of characters) that would be as rich in progressive ingredients as "Trinity". There are lots of incredibly original and very tasteful colours of Classic Art Rock and real, truly Progressive Rock Opera on "Trinity", while wonderfully diverse vocal parts and instrumental arrangements change each other more than frequently the album throughout. Science-fiction lyrics of this monumental album are also of great interest. It all begins with the main

This time out, humans and apes are officially at war. Except they already were last time. So why does this one get to be called “war”? There isn’t even a whole lot of war scenes or action in the movie! But there is an internal fight at its core, so that’s likely what we’re talking about. But there’s also still a war going on. Clever, movie.
Following the events of the last film, Caesar (Andy Serkis), an intelligent chimpanzee who speaks English and leads the rest of the apes, has taken his group to the woods in hopes of avoiding the humans with whom they’re at war. They’re eventually located by a group of soldiers led by a Colonel (Woody Harrelson), who kill, among others, Caesar’s wife and one of his children. Caesar and a couple of other apes head out to seek vengeance upon the Colonel—all while the other apes head to the purported safety of a faraway desert.
That … would probably be a good movie in its own right. A few vigilante apes pursuing and picking off a bunch of humans with little regard for their lives could make for a fun time. That’s not what we get, though. The movie takes a couple of different turns, becomes very talkative and features very little action

They were supposed to be mortal enemies, but their past friendship was so strong that after years of being on opposite sides it was clear that respect and even affection still existed between them. I’ve been wishing for a prequel showing the beginnings of their friendship for years before this movie was announced.
X-Men: First Class is a fantastic movie. It’s visually pleasing, intellectually engaging, and emotionally satisfying. It easily surpasses the first one, which I also love, as my favorite X-Men movie. The whole cast is outstanding, and James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender definitely met my very high expectations as Charles and Erik. They had wonderful chemistry that made it easy to see how the characters’ friendship would have endured throughout their lives in spite of their differences.
My only complaint is that there should have been more scenes concentrating on Charles and Erik and developing their relationship. A significant chunk of the movie passed before they even met, and then the time that they spent together before their separation was surprisingly short. I’m not sure exactly how much time passed between their meeting and separation, but it’s certainly much less time than the first movie lead me to believe. However, I understand that the filmmakers had a lot to pack into one movie, and they did an incredible job.

It began life as a short film by Shane Acker – which you can see here – that impressed Burton so much he gave Acker the chance to turn it into a full length movie.
The story features the world’s first "sticthpunk" star, 9, who first comes to life in a post-apocalyptic world. All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they'll soon come to learn, the very future of civilisation may depend on them.
Voiced by one of the world’s most respected actors, Christopher Plummer (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country), 1 is the Scientist's first creation. As the elder, he is the self-declared leader of the group.

The play jump-cuts between soliloquies, past and present, and short, agonizing scenes. Si and Kay are young lovers, but she can't understand why he suddenly left town. She buries her hurt in a new marriage and baby. We see Si's father incapacitated and mute in a hospital bed where the mother can finally unleash years of unhappiness and tell him exactly what she thinks of him.
Si, after wandering for many years and bouncing from one girl and job to another, returns many years later to deal with his father's slow decline and finally with Kay. He must tell her the truth of why he left all those years ago, and see if there is anything left to salvage between them.

For a movie involving Hugh Jackman, one of the biggest current stars, and Wolverine, one of the most popular X-Men, and the one with the biggest dramatic potential, this was a resounding flop. The plot was absolutely inane, indeed so non-existent that I couldn’t even begin to summarize it. The villains were not particularly villainous, largely because they couldn’t seem to make up their minds whether they wanted to kill Wolverine, capture him and experiment on him, or capture him and turn him into a dangerous weapon. Again and again, Wolverine was confronted with overwhelming force, and instead of either being killed or captured (as the odds would suggest), or decisively crushing his enemies (at least a definite plot maneuver, though contrary to the laws of probability), the fight seemed to fizzle out, and he walked away, only to start the whole thing over five minutes later in a new locale.
Essentially, Wolverine’s story is the most mysterious and tragic plot-line in the entire Marvel universe, and its potential was completely wasted in this movie, which, for all the dead bodies strewn around, failed to elicit any sincere emotion, or to make good use of any of the super-hero duels stuck randomly into the plot (I need to stop calling it a plot, because it wasn’t).

Both films are solid follow-ups to the original movies. I was entertained by both but found Spider-Man to be slightly more engrossing and emotionally satisfying.
The Winter Soldier stars Chris Evans as Cap himself along with some Avengers stalwarts in Nick Fury (Sam Jackson) and Black Widow (the always welcome eye candy of Scarlett Johansson).

This movie is action-packed and improves upon the rather slow original film. Big-budget effects mixed with some political overtones help move the story along at a good pace.

Robert Pattinson may be known best for the role that made him into a global superstar and tabloid obsession, playing Edward Cullen in the “Twilight” franchise, but he’s making it very hard for everyone to keep him in that box.
In his latest movie, “Good Time” (in select theaters Friday, nationwide August 25), Pattinson gives the best performance of his career so far playing Connie, a petty criminal who sets out on a mission to bail his mentally challenged brother out of prison. After the two botch a bank robbery, we follow Connie in a bizarre journey through New York, in which everything he does completely goes wrong. To morph into a greasy Queens hood, the 31-year-old actor spent months working with directors Josh and Benny Safdie (Benny plays Connie’s brother in the movie) before shooting began, which included dressing in character and doing improvised performances with Benny in public.
With a cluster of eager paparazzi waiting outside, Business Insider chatter with Pattinson at the Bowery Hotel in New York City to discuss his new role, why he spends so much time on movie websites, and with more “Twilight” movies to come, if he’d ever consider playing Edward Cullen again.

Merchants also weren’t asking customers if they qualify for a discount at the point of sale.

Narrated by Ed Helms (“The Office," “The Hangover”), the film follows Steve, an awkward yet relatable Adélie penguin. In contrast to the majesty that Morgan Freeman brought to the famous tale of emperor penguins in "March of the Penguins," Helms’ narration brings goofiness and warmth, providing a humorous balance to the harsh reality of the cold and challenging environment the Adélie penguins face in Antarctica.
Like many previous Disneynature films, the "Penguins" film crew spent four years immersed in the elements of Antarctica, collecting hundreds of hours of film that would then be used to tell the 76-minute “coming of age” story. Through the cinematography, the audience gets a chance to experience up close the competing grace and awkwardness of the Adélie penguin as it unfolds both on land and in the sea.
The result is an endearing documentary, capturing both the wonder of Antarctica and the drama of the everyday life of penguins. Some parts of the movie drag a bit, and at times Helms' bounce between scientific narrator and first person voice of Steve is a bit awkward.

UCLA International Institute, October 13, 2016 — Pernambuco, the Brazilian state long famed for its beaches and carnivals, is now emerging as a cinematic powerhouse. Two films from the state, “João Heleno dos Brito” and “Big Jato,” were screened in UCLA’s James Bridges Theater on October 5, 2016, as part of Pernambuco Beat Week. The weeklong celebration of the arts and culture of Pernambuco was sponsored by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the UCLA Department of Spanish and Portuguese, the Brazilian Digital Channel International and the UCLA Center for Brazilian Studies.
“João Heleno dos Brito” (a Brazilian name which sounds remarkably like “John Lennon of the Beatles” in Portuguese), directed by Neco Tabosa, is a slapstick, western-style short film detailing a bloody feud between two families.

The organizers – MAMI (Mumbai Academy of Moving Images) – understand the need for a festival that celebrates cinema in the city that houses the most number of film professionals and aspirants. Mumbai, however, is a hub of so many things and it is likely that the festival (probably) doesn’t make as much news in the local media as it’s counterparts in Panaji and Kerala do. But who cares as long as it brings some of the finest of cinema titles – Indian and International – to the city of dreams!
Here is a countdown of 10 fantastic films from the festival’s 2017 edition that was held from October 12 to 18th.
Director Sebastian Lelio’s artistically photographed, A Fantastic Woman tells the tale of a trans-woman, Marina Vidal (Daniela Vega) who finds herself to be the pivot of suspicion and hate when her partner passes away unexpectedly. Although slightly reminiscent of the maker’s own 2013 feature film Gloria, the film is assertive enough to make us empathize with Marina’s sorrow. With its terrific usage of music and Vega’s assuring debut performance, the film makes for an engaging watch.
A sweet feel-good drama works like a balm in a film festival that otherwise abounds in films with heavy-duty themes. Colombian filmmaker Samir Oliveros’s Bad

"Principal photography wraps up January 31st, and the months of February through June will be spent in post-production," said Brian Kirk, director / writer of the film.
"There's no date like July 4th in American history, and since this film has its own subtle revolutionary themes, we can't think of a more perfect release date than Independence Day," continued Kirk. The fact that this year July 4th lands on a Friday means the movie gods are indeed smiling on this project.
Sam & Me personifies the federal government through "Uncle Sam" Armstrong (played by Craig Henne) and his nephew Kevin (played by Kirk). Uncle Sam is a bloated, addicted has-been, who demands more and more from his nephew, ultimately bringing them both to the breaking point.
Kirk said the goal from the beginning was to produce a humorous, well done film, and that the political themes were secondary to the artistic value of the project.
"However, the fact that 72% of Americans now see big government as our biggest threat means our target audience is much larger than we initially projected. The issues we present will resonate with a vast super-majority of Americans, going past traditional party labels."
Kirk always wanted to make a film that his atheist & leftist friends could enjoy as well.

Francois Truffaut’s first film, The 400 Blows, tells the story of Antoine Doinel, a troubled teenage boy living in a small apartment in Paris with her mother and stepfather. Antoine’s mother is an adulterous woman who puts her career and romantic affairs ahead of her son – whom we learn she wanted to abort. His stepfather is only slightly more attentive but equally unloving. Antoine lives at home but feels far from it. His travails at school are even more troublesome. Antoine isn’t just misunderstood, but unfortunate as well. He gets caught with a pinup calendar being passed around by the rest of the class, and caught again while returning a stolen typewriter.
The ending to this bleakly humorous tale of adolescence is a zoom in on a freeze frame of Antoine’s face as he turns away from the sea. He’s always wished to see the shore and, escaping from a penitentiary school, he finally finds the chance to smell freedom at bay. This single frame is, without exaggeration, the perfect ending – if there ever was one – and one of the greatest film endings of all time, if not the greatest. It’s a moment that fills one with raging emotions, captured romantically in the distant haze of our young anti-hero. It closes a chapter in Antoine’s life and opens the rest of it. It captures the feeling of being troubled, confused, free, captive, hopeful and helpless. It captures what it means to be a boy.

These same people, excited to share the joy of such advanced films with their families, may be surprised to discover that 3D entertainment now holds far more than the magic they had once experienced; they hold power to cause nausea and dizziness that prevents full entertainment value.
Have you noticed that your ability to get into 3D entertainment has diminished as you have gotten older? It’s not because you lack your childhood joy for the living; it is much more likely that the problem is your eyes.
3D works by overlapping images. This is a subtle overlap, but just enough to change the way images are interpreted by the brain. The original form of 3D imaging is already in place in the eyes. If you look only through one eye at a time, you will observe this. See how each eye has its subtle differential in how your environment appears? That is the basis of 3D films.
To recreate what occurs naturally when the eyes take in information and send it to the brain, 3D flicks are filmed in the same fashion that we see in “real life.” Two lenses are used, and they are set a few inches apart. This mimics the set of the eyes on the average face. So, when the film is then projected onto the big screen, what is present are two slightly different views. If you were to try to look at

It’s centered on a young dinosaur, Arlo, who is afraid of everything and can’t seem to make his mark in life or with his family. After a series of tragic accidents Arlo ends up lost, miles from his home, and blames a “critter” (a human boy) for all of his misfortune. Somehow, he must find his way back home through the dangerous countryside. He reluctantly starts a friendship with the aforementioned human boy he names “Spot” as they struggle to survive.
The movie gets a lot of humorous mileage out of the dynamic duo of Arlo and Spot. Arlo is the emotional core of the movie. Despite his fearful nature, he’s really a brave and lovable goofball with a heart of gold. Spot, meanwhile, is his mirror opposite--wild, unkempt, brave, and extremely loyal. He’s a daring rascal who has his own tragic past. Their budding friendship never feels forced. They feed, protect, and learn about the other and get into several crazy mishaps along their journey. Spot becomes the very catalyst for Arlo’s transformation from coward to hero. He inspires Arlo to be brave and helps him to grieve. Their relationship grows from one of resentment (on Arlo’s part) to one of true friendship.

It’s easy to dismiss a movie you don’t enjoy as boring. But what I learned from this Romanian ultrarealist film is that there are two completely distinct types of boredom at the movies. The first is the boredom of an eye-roll-inducingly dumb treasure chest of Hollywood clichés — Transformers, say, or Fool’s Gold. The second is the boredom of a movie that aspires to be exactly as boring as the real life people go to movies to escape.
Such is Corneliu Porumboiu’s film Police, Adjective, which has earned widespread critical praise and screened at Cannes. Make no mistake: This movie is dull. It follows a young cop, Cristi (Dragos Bucur), as he works the least exciting narcotics case imaginable, trailing a teenager who appears to be committing the grave crime of smoking hashish and sharing it with friends.

What is baffling about the former Liverpool striker&apos;s comments is that the Senegalese powerhouse is being played horribly out of position at right back.
We all know - maybe Owen doesn’t - that Kouyate is a dominating centre midfielder by trade and right back really isn’t his best position.
Considering the dearth of options in that position for West Ham it’s admirable that Kouyate is sticking to his task the best he can but to be called lazy is ridiculous.
Kouyate himself has admitted his frustration at being deployed in that position but is willing to sacrifice himself for the team.
Speaking on BT at the weekend, Owen said: “He was poor at Watford, gave a penalty away.
"I don&apos;t think he&apos;s a right-back at all - I don&apos;t think he&apos;s disciplined enough. I think he&apos;s a bit lazy. He doesn&apos;t track runners really.

The tactical unconventionality served by the back three/five Herve Renard activated with Ivory Coast in 2015 and Morocco in this edition, plus the in-game flexibility he tinkered with Zambia in 2013, have caused issues for teams, and their coaches have been unable to come up with any panaceas. It’s probably the reflection of the one-dimensional coaches that dominate the touchlines of African international football.
No coach has proven his tactical acumen in recent AFCONs more than Renard, and his tournament record – just 2 losses in 22 matches since the 2010 festival – is a testament to the resiliency of his teams. The meeting between Egypt and Morocco will see Renard and Hector Cuper – two of the finer tactical minds in the tournament – go head-to-head. The Argentine is no tactical slouch and he’s arguably the only coach in the tournament able to out-tactic Renard in the purest sense – either by playing his formation or, giving him a taste of his own medicine, by playing conservative football.
The logical predication for the North African encounter is a stalemate. Two realistic coaches fully aware of the limitations of their teams have set up to mask the weaknesses and heighten their strengths.

The Selhurst Park faithful have warmed to the Senegalese international, as he always gives 100 per cent and is an extremely likeable figure around the club with his positive nature and energy.
They may, however, have overlooked just how big an impact he has made in south London, as his arrival came almost immediately after French international Yohan Cabaye departed the club at the expiry of his contract.
Cabaye offered composure, calmness and authority in the middle of the park alongside Milivojevic last season, but his contract was not renewed – this may have been down to his fitness, as the former Lille man rarely managed to complete 90 minutes last season as he hit 33 years of age.
In stark contrast, Kouyate offers a robust, pragmatic approach alongside two midfielders in McArthur and Milivojevic who are also quite industrial, although perhaps slightly better on the ball.
Having said all of that, it is unfair to judge Kouyate on circumstances out of his control, so let’s take a look at his first six months in SE25 in isolation.

In Burkina Faso, flutes from the Mossi, Lobi and Bwa people are played to accompany blazons and drums during ceremonies and mask performances. They can be played singly or in groups. A flute plays a set of notes with a complex but a very repetitive tune.
Flutes like this come in many sizes, but are of the same general structure with a human like form. One variation is the height and posture of the shoulders, which can be more raised or lowered. The instrument was used to accompany masked dances often in imitations of the tonal patterns of speech or song. Some flutes were used for different purposes by hunters.
Bwa artisans typically use strong abstract shapes to portray people and animals on sacred objects. Though Bwa art is created primarily for ritual use, its aesthetic has been appreciated far beyond the West African villages where it originated. Its geometric design, for instance, is thought to have influenced Cubism in the early 1900s.
The Bwa or Bwaba or Bobo-Wule (Bobo-Oule) people, are an ethnic group indigenous to central Burkina Faso and Mali. The Bwa lives in central Burkina Faso and southeast Mali, between Mali’s Bani River and the Mouhoun River (Black Volta) in Burkina Faso. Their population is approximately 300,000.

Despite fielding a side that boasted the esteemed attacking talents of Robin van Persie, Radamel Falcao, Wayne Rooney and Angel Di Maria, Manchester United rarely threatened home goalkeeper Adrian as they failed to dislodge Southampton in third.

Generally, you need to have an employer sponsor in order to secure the appropriate work permit and work visa for Burkina Faso.
Also, are you familiar with the intricacies of the tax system in Burkina Faso, as well as your own country’s laws on overseas earnings? If so, good on you!

The Eagles have made the trip north to face Jose Mourinho&apos;s men, who currently sit eighth in the table with 20 points from their first 12 games.
In contrast, Palace have just eight points from their first 12 games and sit 16th in the table, only outside the bottom three on goal difference.
Palace have never beaten Manchester United in the Premier League era, and have lost on all nine of their previous visits to Old Trafford since 1992.
But the Eagles are boosted by the return to fitness of star man Wilfried Zaha, who has recovered from a hamstring injury and is available to face his old side.
Defenders James Tomkins and Mamadou Sakho are also expected to be fit for the game, having shaken off knocks over the international break.
However, Manchester United also have good news on the injury front, with Mourinho reporting an almost clean bill of health, despite having several injury doubts in the build-up to the game.

I have fond memories of Shaun of the Dead, because I saw the preview in 2004, along with the creators Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, and Edgar Wright. See crappy photo below as evidence. Shaun of the Dead was a zomedy (zombie/comedy), while Hot Fuzz tried to take on the cop genre. The World's End is a science fiction/comedy, but it particularly works well if you did not know it's sci-fi. As a viewer, the movie is a standard comedy until midway into the film where you're introduced to the robots.
If you didn't know already, Simon Pegg plays Gary King, a 40+ year old man looking to relive his teenage years with four of his best friends. Pegg decides to get the gang back together to finish his "Golden Mile" pub crawl, ending at the World's End pub.
Personally, between you and me, the soundtrack is certainly the best I've heard since Trainspotting. If you grew up in the 90s British music, then you're recognize all the Madchester and Britpop music, including Primal Scream ("Loaded"), Soup Dragons ("I'm Free"), Happy Mondays ("Step On"), Suede ("So Young"), Stone Roses ("Fools Gold"), Teenage Fanclub ("What You Do to Me").

"In the movie it's about Sandy and Danny, but it's actually everyone's story and I think that's pretty cool. It's a real ensemble the way we're doing it."
Whatever SLOC is doing with the show, it's hard to go wrong with "Grease." The original Broadway version with Adrienne Barbeau and Barry Bostwick was nominated for seven Tony Awards, and revivals in 1994 and 2007 were also well received.

The story follows a once-great concert pianist who suffers from stage fright and comes back to perform after a five-year hiatus. That seems daunting, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Just as the pianist sits down at his instrument to play the first bar of music, he notices a threatening note on his music sheet that informs him that he must play the best concert of his life in order to save the life of himseld and his wife. The trade describes the film as Speed at a piano. I'm not sure how they plan to keep up the suspense with Wood at a piano, but director Rodrigo Cortes pulled it off with Buried, and the filmmaker is producing the film with Adrian Guerra, a collaborator on the 2010 underground thriller.

Enjoyable comedy - great performances from the leads and the support cast all add a huge amount. Look out for the family scenes around the dining table - brilliantly observed! Romantic elements blend well with the comedy and the routines in the club bridge the two together really effectively. For those interested in the whole Blu-ray package - the extras are a real contrast. The commentary is one of the most irritating I've come across - you know you're in trouble when you hear "let's just sit back and watch this." Err no, this is the bit where you give us some interesting background info about the scene/actors etc. However, the additional films are great fun and I'd loved to have seen more of the stand up tour.

Discussion in 'Archived Threads 2001-2004' started by Ike, Oct 22, 2001.
I've got to see this film! I'm a huge Kids in the Hall fan, and I'd love to see this film. Is there any chance of a theatrical/video/straight to video release?
Reading about it on the IMDB is driving me nuts-it's got great reviews, and sounds fantastic, not to mention, it'd be so cool to catch the Kids doing some of the old skits now-like a musician preforming their classic songs, not to mention, a few new ones!
I'd give anything to see this (even if it was on VHS!). Surely I'm not alone. Who owns this?
A few of the exceptionally kind folks at alt.tv.kids-in-hall have volunteered to dupe copies. I'm sure you'll get a few offers if you post a message there.
I'm not aware of any plans for a VHS/DVD release, though.
I too am a big Kids in the Hall fan. I would like Brain Candy on DVD as well, I own it on VHS, but as we all know that simply won't do. I didn't know there was another movie out. I want to see it badly now.

It's hard to find a good comedy these days, and I did not expect to find one in a low budget independent film. Part action film, part comedy, and part disaster/horror film this was a seriously fun movie. Made on what looks to be a very modest budget, it never distracts from all the fun and excitement happening on screen. While it drags a little at the end the rest of the film soars by riding on witting dialogue, great one liners, fun action sequences, and great performances.
I was really impressed with the writing of the film. This was probably it's biggest strength. As good as the writing was though it wouldn't have had the same effect without the great actors who delivered the lines. Rick Macy and Darin Southman (who I've only ever seen in serious roles) performances were a big highlight for me. But the show goes to the leading man Charan Prabhaka who is both a great action hero and hilarious! Brady Blum's performance was also good, but there were a few times were he was a little over the top for me. Overall though this is an extremely funny movie (better than most Hollywood comedies), that you will not regret taking the time to check it out.

However, today I will attempt to choose a top 5. It's no easy task, but I will certainly attempt to do my best.
While I know this may be a controversial pick for one of my favorite movies in this genre, it has been intensely meaningful to me over the last year. It's a stark reminder of our own emotional fragility in the face of life. Being on a team is literally the furthest thing from easy that exists, and you can already see the seeds of discontent being sowed that only further erupt in Civil War.
But I think the most important thing about this film is how large and, at the same time, small it is. The darkest souls and the brightest souls are slowly uncovered, and the relationships woven throughout become colorful like the brightest tapestry. The quiet home life of Clint and the sadness so evident behind Bruce's eyes are what made this movie for me. It felt real.
This film is pure comedic brilliance. I am the hugest fan of wacky comedy, and this film gave me all I wished for and more. But even with the comedy, I didn't lose sight of the relationships.

I have only seen one trailer for this film, but what I have seen has given me a great desire to see it. As far as I can tell the narrative begins with an unfulfilled "love at first sight" occurance on a crowded Subway. Our fated lovers see one another, but lose one another in the mass of people that is New York. That's okay because even if our protagonists were to have had the follow-up conversation it wouldn't have worked because Luke, our male fated lover, is heading to Los Angeles to become a successful rock musician. Fate has it in store for our young lovers though because Brier (the female fated lover) is heading to LA to become an actress.
I know, I know, it sounds lame, but trust me when I saw the preview my heart warmed at the thought of an entertaining romantic comedy. This year's crop has been a little clumsy, good sure but still clumsy, and I am looking for the first fluid one.

Oil and gas development has been important to Colorado for decades. As both Colorado’s population and the international demand for oil and gas have continued to climb, oil and gas development has encroached on urban and suburban areas, while cities and towns have sprawled towards historic oil and gas areas. Landowners are sometimes frustrated to learn about the state law that allows a “split estate.” Split estate means that surface property rights are the landowner’s rights to the surface of the land and mineral rights are property rights to the minerals beneath the surface of the land. These mineral rights can be “split off” from surface rights, meaning minerals beneath the land can be owned by a separate entity. Mineral rights include a mineral owner’s right to explore, mine and produce the rocks, minerals, oil, or natural gas below the surface of the property. This includes the right to enter upon the land and extract those minerals or receive royalty from the extraction of the minerals. In Colorado, the fact that surface and mineral rights for the same area of land may have different owners can result in disputes.

As far as celebrity deaths go, 2009 has been flush with headline-grabbers. If some higher being is trying to shake us up to lessen our obsession with celebrity, it’s backfiring. But not for the deceased. We’ve all heard plenty about celebrities seeing resurgence in popularity through the only inevitability in life (the basis for some conspiracies surrounding Tupac, for example). Similarly, the theory of public figures becoming canonized by dying prematurely is well-known and oft-discussed. But what about public figures that had fallen out of our favor prior to their death? We overlook their faults and flaws and focus on the positive. Death is the whitewash that clears the dirt and grime from their legacies. Vindication is the buzz word for these fallen stars.

44 members of the Broomfield community met in February to discuss the issue and begun forming the new Affordable Housing Task Force, with the hope of bringing together local governments, businesses, nonprofits, and the faith community.
The typical measurement of housing affordability is if the cost of renting the home is no more than thirty percent of the family’s monthly income, the report noted. However, the average two-bedroom apartment in Broomfield Colorado rents for $1,480. This means that the family who lives in that apartment home would have to make at least $4,900 a month in order to afford to live there.
Though there are a number of options in the city to help people with their rent and other housing costs such as utilities, including federal and local programs, there aren’t enough options for transitional housing for those who are just getting back on their feet, the article noted. In spite of the addition of new housing developments in the years since the 2012 report that the city got its housing figures was published, there have not been additions of affordable or transitional units.

(Laughs) Yeah, being 19 is pretty crazy. Being in this business does mature you very quickly. But luckily I’ve had parents beside me that have always taken care of me. They’ve given me great values and taught me that if I really want to be in this business, I have to put time into all my characters. I really think that has impacted me starting at such a young age.
How much of your own personality were you able to put into Antonio?
A lot of it. In animation, you take the words right off the page and make them your own. They showed me the animated sketches and what [Antonio] was going to look like. You try to embody that and imagine what his voice is going to be. It was a very different and cool process.
What did you think when you first saw Antonio?
The first voice work you ever did in your career was when you were 12 years old. Is it still as fun now as when you were a kid?
When I was a kid it was much more difficult. You’re trying to understand what the director wants. It’s a learning process. Now, you go in and it’s more of a collaboration.

Jeff Alt walked all 2,160 miles of the Appalachian Trail.
Years later, he took his 2-year-old on a short hike.
"It all depends on your goal," says the Cincinnati area author, hiking enthusiast and speech specialist.
"At 2 years old, it's about the kid's journey," Alt said by telephone. "The child-directed phase is the toughest. It's not about you reaching a spot for a great view. Or getting your workout in. It's about whatever they are interested in.
"Because if they have fun, if they think its an adventure, they'll want to go again and again."
Hiking offers everyone a treasure chest of lifelong benefits, Alt says in his new paperback, "Get Your Kids Hiking," (Beaufort Books, $13.95).
In case that blue glow of our computers has made us forget, he reminds us that movement releases endorphins. For him, hiking leads to positive thoughts and conversations.
Being on a trail improves his creativity because he's away from his routine. "I've learned that I can think outside the box when I am actually physically outside the box," he writes.
And hiking helps lighten the pack of life, by leaving him refreshed and refocused.
It's an adult's job to show children these benefits, he says, and it's important to start early.

It bears only the lightest and most coincidental resemblance to Rudyard Kiplingsâ€™s cycle of stories about a little boy raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. Only the setting and the names of characters are preserved. That said, â€œThe Jungle Bookâ€ deserves to be considered on itsâ€™ own terms as a classically animated Disney feature, the very last to have been blessed by the hand of Walt himself. The plot is as thin as a wisp; the journey of the boy Mowgli to the village of his own kind, interspersed with some good-natured musical numbers, and helped or hindered by a variety of good natured animals, and not terribly threatening villains.
It is a curious jumble, to watch with eyes accustomed to more recent animated features like â€œShrekâ€ and â€œToy Storyâ€. Without exception the backgrounds are beautifully rendered, densely detailed, almost painterly. The animal characters were fully-fleshed, and with the exception of Kaaa, the python, seemed to move and flex like their real counterparts; especially King Louie the baboon, Bagheera the panther and Sher Khan the tiger. The last two seemed especially slinky; it would be nice to know if the artists responsible for their rendering had cats.

Stuck in Love tells the story of a family of writers, starring Greg Kinnear as best-selling writer Bill Borgens. Bill, still in love with his ex-wife Erica (Jennifer Connelly), has lost the will to write; Bill's daughter, Sam (Lilly Collins), is devastated by her mother's 'betrayal' and doesn't believe in love until she meets Lou (Logan Lerman), a good-natured, borderline naive boy who is determined to win her heart (I apologize profusely for the platitude). Sam's brother Rusty (Nat Wolff) is romantic and awkward, falling for and idealizing Kate (Liana Liberato), who is a recovering alcoholic.
Flaws, first: Collins and Lerman's chemistry isn't Dicaprio-Winslet but works sufficiently, partly because they both have an 'indie' vibe to them that works for the movie. The film also had an all-too 'complete circle' feel to it - including irrational plot jumps and lack of theme/character development - that diminished its standing as a 'serious' indie film.
Then again, it wasn't intended as one but succeeds as an artsy film nonetheless, especially with its recurring theme of writing/books.

Jaglom, who has taken his own films to Cannes, knows the territory intimately and plays his neatly plotted outing as the true confessions and observations of an inside trader. The fun here is watching the twists and turns as hot shot Hollywood producer Rick Yorkin (Ron Silver) and the hustler from nowhere, Kaz Naiman (Jaglom regular Zack Norman), pull every sneaky rabbit out of the hat to ensure their project receives Millie Marquand's all-important signature. All the egomania, backstabbing, fake smiles and genuine love of cinema as art that drive Cannes is present as these combatants get down to business. The tone is sly and knowing but never bitter because Jaglom knows from experience that filmmakers chasing something more artistically meaningful than the next brainless blockbuster can and do actually succeed in this environment. Made in the semi-improvised style that characterises much of Jaglom's work, this is impressively carried off by a fine cast, particularly the luminous Aimee and Greta Scacchi whose career has intriguing parallels with those of the character she plays.

Laux’s legal practice targeted older clients with estate planning and trust services. Concerns about her conduct first arose in May 2012 when heirs of the Pfister estate alleged that she embezzled more than $1.5 million from the family.
Of that money, $450,000 was meant to pay for the elderly Carleen Guenther’s nursing home expenses. But she never moved into a nursing home before passing. Laux allegedly used the money to purchase property, pay her firm’s bills and for personal expenses.
This alleged misconduct was first reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in May 2013. An Arizona man, whose parents were working with Laux, read that story and also became suspicious.
Laux persuaded his parents to invest $2.1 million into a series of annuities, but never finalized the transactions. The federal indictment alleges that she stole approximately $584,000 from them too.
Furthermore, the FBI is charging Laux with income tax fraud. Everyone is required to report all of their income to the IRS, even if it’s obtained illegally.

Trump is reportedly obsessed with ferreting out the anonymous op-ed author, and now fears a “coup” against him from inside his own White House, according to a Vanity Fair report. As a result, according to the legal site Law & Crime, the NYT is “likely to face some pushback” over its publication of the Avenatti op-ed.
Donald Trump should be indicted, wrote Michael Avenatti in 'The New York Times' Thursday.
In the essay, Avanetti directly addressed the issue raised by Trump’s current Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, according to Vox, who has written that presidents should be immune from indictment while in office, because “it vital that the President be able to focus on his never-ending tasks with as few distractions as possible.” Kavanaugh also argued that the constitutional process of impeachment, not criminal indictment, should be used to remedy presidential wrongdoing.
But Avenatti countered that Trump already appears highly distracted — and that impeachment would also be an enormous distraction.
“This is a White House already engulfed in chaos and daily distractions. And if the House were to initiate impeachment proceedings, it is hard to see how that process would be any less distracting than a criminal indictment,” he wrote.

This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the Minnesota Commerce Fraud Bureau, Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS and United States Postal Inspection Service.
According to the indictment and documents filed in court, between 2010 and February 2015, ROY owned and operated at least seven construction companies, including RSI Associates, Inc., Restoration Specialists, Inc., Road Spec Corporation, Omni Construction Services, Inc., Omni Construction Company, Omni-Midwest, Inc., and Olympic Construction Services, Inc. Through these companies ROY bid on construction contracts offered by public and quasi-governmental organizations, including the City of Minneapolis, City of Hastings, Washington County, Metropolitan Council, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities and others.

Those targets include the World Anti-Doping Agency, FIFA, Westinghouse Electric Corporation (a Pennsylvania-based nuclear power company) and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
What connects these seemingly disparate organizations? In one way or another, they all have been perceived as hostile or a threat to Russia, and so they came under attack from Russia’s intelligence agency, the GRU, over a period of several years.
The World Anti-Doping Agency was targeted for exposing Russia’s state-backed athlete performance-enhancing drug program, which led to a ban on Russian athletes participating in the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics. That ban was upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which also faced Russian cyberattacks, the indictment alleges.

Our enjoyment of horror and gore is dark and frankly a bit weird! However the industry isn’t complaining, they’re eager to feed our strange appetite. According to movie statistics website The Numbers, horror films are big money-makers grossing over $9 billion worldwide since 1995 just behind romantic comedies (of course).
Sometimes it’s not only the iconic act that is memorable for us, but the object used to do it. Most of our favorite villains have a weapon of destruction that they just wouldn't be complete without. But can you guess which weapons are featured in which film/TV show? Take the quiz to find out!

Columbia presents a film directed by Fred Schepisi, and produced by Michael Rachmil and Daniel Melnick. Screenplay by Steve Martin, based on the play "Cyrano de Bergerac," by Edmond Rostand. Photographed by Ian Baker. Edited by John Scott. Running time: 107 minutes. Classified PG.
"Roxanne" is a gentle, whimsical comedy starring Steve Martin as a man who knows he has the love of the whole town, because he is such a nice guy, but fears he will never have the love of a woman, because his nose is too big. His nose is pretty big, all right; he doesn't sniff wine, he inhales it.
The movie is based on "Cyrano de Bergerac," a play that was written in 1890 but still strikes some kind of universal note, maybe because for all of us there is some attribute or appendage we secretly fear people will ridicule. Inside every adult is a second-grader still terrified of being laughed at.
In "Roxanne," the famous nose belongs to C.D. Bates, a small-town fire chief, who daydreams of a time when the local citizens will have enough confidence in his department to actually call it when there's a fire.
In despair at the incompetence of his firemen, he hires a firefighting expert (Rick Rossovich) to train them. The expert arrives in town almost simultaneously with a tall, beautiful blond (Daryl Hannah), who is an astronomer in search of an elusive comet.

The Alamo (1960) In 1836 General Santa Anna and the Mexican army is sweeping across Texas. To be able to stop him, General Sam Houston needs time to get his main force into shape. To buy that time he orders Colonel William Travis to defend a small mission on the Mexicans’ route at all costs.

If you don’t know what heart failure is, don’t feel bad. It may be one of the most misunderstood major health issues facing the country today, but its impact is undeniable.
Heart failure is a serious issue that needs our attention. As the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary health organization dedicated to fighting cardiovascular diseases, the American Heart Association is beginning to chart a course to help improve the lives of Americans with this devastating condition.
So, what is heart failure? Heart failure is a chronic, progressive condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood around the body.
What can you do to stay healthy and prevent heart failure? Small changes in lifestyle eventually add up to big results, such as eating a heart healthy diet (low on fat and salt and high in fruits, vegetables and fiber) or exercising more.

Although the film is based on a true-story – a story that is pretty incredible and powerful – the way it is told and made takes the heart and emotion right out of it.
Extraordinary Measures tells the story of a father (Fraser) willing to do whatever it takes to find a cure for a form of autism known as Pompe Disease, a disease that two of his three children have. As both sick children get closer to the age of mortality, their symptoms worsen, so their father takes a lea of faith, quits his job and searches for a miracle at the hands of a little-known doctor (Ford). The majority of the movie is spent showing you how they financially put his untested theoretical research into practice to the point where they could start a clinical trial.

The typical clichés in character and plot are all there, making it a gruelingly long and painful experience.

The queen has everything she wants except for one thing — beauty. Violet possesses this beauty. She also has a secret: although she is very small, both her spirit and her heart are mighty.
When Violet is summoned by Bogdana to start training to become a real princess, it seems as if her life might be taking a turn for the better. But hope quickly fades when Violet’s mother is banished from the castle, and she and Violet are forbidden to see each other ever again. With everyone’s lives in the balance, it’s up to Violet to break the spell and reunite her family.

The Game’s the apex of Fincher Phase One, which can roughly be said to deal with reactive characters forced to deal with situations instigated by others: Ripley in Alien 3, Pitt in Seven, Edward Norton in Fight Club (sort of), Jodie Foster in Panic Room. These are spiraling nightmares in which key pieces of information are withheld from viewers and protagonists as seemingly irrational events occur.
At once an elegantly constructed maze, a rambunctious Hitchcockian thriller, a multifaceted pulp fiction, and a stylish nightmare that Rube Goldberg might have invented, David Fincher’s crazy-lucid masterpiece is also a canny psychological study of an imperiled mind and a satire of contemporary capitalism that is even more timely today than when it premiered in 1997.
Even for a diehard atheist, there’s something immensely moving about the idea that you’ve misinterpreted all the hardships you’ve endured, and that the door you imagine leads to your death will open to reveal all your friends and family decked out in party hats. It’s the ultimate wish-fulfillment fantasy, craftily disguised as a bizarre form of shock therapy.
Memorable early effort from Fincher, who can do no wrong, in my opinion. People knock the ending, but it's one of the more optimistic and tender moments in a career of witty cynicism and jocular misanthropy -- which "The Game" has plenty of, don't doubt it.

While Phoenix's Vertigo-meets the-Holocaust plot line leads to a final scene that will be on many critics' year-end highlights reel, that scene features one good dramatic revelation in a film that doesn't quite sustain its drama.
Petzold establishes a strong sense of time and place, from the seedy, dimly lit confines of the Phoenix cabaret to the ticking of the clock in Lene's bedroom. He brings postwar Berlin to vivid life without calling attention to period trappings.

Though the integration of staircases in these films can be interpreted into several different ways, it is evident that they share the same effect of invoking suspense among the audience. Looking at an early scene in The Lodger, Hitchcock uses a montage sequence, cutting back and forth between the Lodger descending down the stairs and to Mrs. Bunting’s reaction. With the audience watching the specific scene (shown below), through a bird’s eye view, they can clearly see his smooth and slow movement down the spiraling staircase. The only part of the Lodger’s body that is revealed is his hand, which gradually and ambiguously slides down the staircase railing. The stairs deliberately slows time and in combination with the editing, effectively creates the uncomfortable feeling of intensifying suspense.
Similarly, Blackmail has a prominent scene involving the motif but with the protagonist and antagonist going up a spiraling staircase together. This time, the perspective is shown through a profile continuous shot, appearing as if the audience was seeing through the wall. Consequently, it creates the same affect with their ascension being an unusually long scene. It builds up the tension and a sense of uneasiness among the audience. Especially in this film, both the ascending and descending of the staircases implicate or foreshadow a pivotal event.

Keira Knightley acquits herself well in her Broadway debut, perhaps occasionally falling a tad short in terms of vocal projection, but otherwise, conveying expertly her character’s transformation from obedient passivity to sexual release to tortured angst.
Therese, the orphaned niece of Madame Raquin, has been raised by her aunt to marry the latter’s sickly and self-absorbed son Camille. Therese obediently goes through the paces of the wedding and the routine of early married life, but as soon as she meets Camille’s old friend Laurent, her true passion ignites. When it becomes obvious that Camille is their only obstacle to happiness, Laurent suggests murder, but the ensuing deed – which put some in mind of the Montgomery Clift and Shelley Winters rowboat scene in “A Place in the Sun” -- brings nothing but guilt and misery.
Gabriel Ebert as the ineffectual Camille, Matt Ryan as the hunky Laurent, and Judith Light as Camille’s loving but domineering mother are all terrific. I must single out the chameleon-like Light for yet another of her indelible performances, one quite different from anything she’s done before.
The smaller parts are just as well cast – David Patrick Kelley as Michaud, Mary Wiseman as his lovelorn niece Suzanne, Jeff Still as Grivet as the Raquins’ weekly domino-playing guests – and form a perfectly judged ensemble.

One fundamental difference between the two filmmakers is in directorial temperament- the truth of the matter is that Hitchcock’s films have a greater interest in the mechanics of plotting than character, whereas Chabrol’s are immersed in the minutiae of the psychological. In comparison to those of his French counterpart, the Hitchcockian character is a relative cipher, often made charming by the extraneous means of witty banter or fortuitous casting choices. However, in ascribing psychological depth to Hitchcock’s characters, one, more often than not, encounters shallow mining, as their personalities are generally defined by reflex reactions to the elaborate mousetraps set in motion by the director; since the majority of his plots are orchestrated to manipulate the players (and by de facto, the audience) as pawns incapable of movement or action independent of the needs of the intricate interlocking set pieces which at the heart of the grand designs of his cinematic puzzles.

Chabrol was the rebel of la Nouvelle Vague, unashamedly populist, often exploiting the conventions of melodrama or Hitchcockian-thriller. He delighted placing tormented, often-glamorous characters in beautiful magazine-style houses and locations, and then letting them grapple with their bourgeois malaise. But Chabrol’s magic extends beyond glossy entertainment: his films offer intelligent, nuanced observations on guilt, redemption and the aspiring classes. Juste Avant La Nuit is no exception.
Audran reigned as Chabrol’s leading actress between 1968 and 1971, and this is the last film of the ‘Hélène cycle’ (she starred in all but one of the cycle, playing characters called Hélène in La Femme Infidèle and the hugely popular Le Boucher). It is difficult to resist pointing out her appealing trademark-pearlescent green and blue eye-shadow: here, in Juste Avant La Nuit, it crowns her cool ‘regard’ as she battles emotion during her husband’s confessions. Audran plays Hélène with a heart that is as loving as it is cold, and with a humour as dry as a Martini next to potted-plant. Whether irritated whilst baking a cake that’s going wrong, self-consciously playing a game with her children or fighting her despair, Audran registers a fine Seventies heroine. She’s glacial, shining and pragmatic, the last of which leads to the film’s shocking conclusion.

The macabre natural sets and ornate Victorian architecture both establish the film as a gothic suspense. More than that, these elements also run through the subtext of the film, acting as potent symbols and manifestations of the late Rebecca. True to his reputation, Hitchcock’s first American production is filled with the brilliant stylistic choice of manipulating scale and space to evoke not only suspense (while it is the primary function of these scenes), but also love. The mansion of Manderley takes the stage in this film, and the remarkably versatile Hitchcock speaks through it—with the foggy, wooded grounds, the soaring gothic peaks, sweeping shots of the oppressively large manor, and claustrophobic confrontations between the unnamed protagonist, “I,” and the cold housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers. While the authentic acting and compelling writing certainly contribute to the film’s success, it is Hitchcock’s dark brush that masterfully colors Rebecca with drama and suspense.

In the tale – set in modern day America – perennial Mystery Theatre great Mandel Kramer plays Peter, a middle-aged ex-con trying to play it straight, taking menial jobs like sweeping floors at the local men’s health club owned by the compassionate Leo Mantel. Beaten down by life, Peter can’t seem to catch a break, especially when confronted by people like antagonistic club member Mr. Claiborne who seems to catch all the breaks in life despite his immorality and vengeful meanness.

Instead, director Richard Marquand opts largely for more intimate surrounding and manages to squeeze out some memorable moments of Hitchcockian suspense and tension.
On the strength of his self-assured work here, Marquand subsequently landed the directing gig on a little-seen feature called Return of the Jedi. Donald Sutherland is Faber, a meek and affable British railway employee who is actually harbouring a dark secret. In reality, he is a German Nazi spy known as ‘The Needle’. Sending covert messages back to the home county, he chances upon sensitive information regarding the Allied invasion of Normandy.
Having dispatched of his nosy landlady, he’s then pursued by British intelligence and forced to seek refuge on a remote Scotland island while he awaits his rendezvous with a German sub. On the island lives Lucy (Kate Nelligan), her paraplegic husband David (Christopher Cazenove), and their young son. Lucy is stuck in a loveless marriage with the embittered ex-army officer David, and she soon strikes up a physical relationship with Faber, completely unaware of the danger she is opening herself up to.
Sutherland is on fine form here as the monstrous spy – a sociopathic, cold-eyed murderer who is still capable of melting the heart of the repressed Lucy. His efficient means of offing his victim by discreetly bludgeoning them with a concealed dagger – a chilling modus operandi from which his spy moniker has been derived – even

Some of the story's thrills shine through the adapted script at this Costa Mesa Civic Playhouse production. Some don't.
Carolyn and Jeffrey Symon (Nancy Zelonka, Randy Jones) have just moved into Green Meadows, a classy housing development designed by Thomas Devereaux (Giles Hunt). Devereaux and his wife, Joan (Anita Burgoyne), just happen to live in the original model across the street from the Symons. The Symons don't know what they're in for.
It seems Joan Devereaux can't keep out of bed with other men. Early on, Thomas describes to her how he murdered a teen-ager who was her lover in the last development he designed. Of course she hasn't told him she is lusting after their new neighbor at that very moment. Thomas does find out, and the crimes, real and false, begin to multiply, until Post's Hitchcockian final scene. No shocks will be spoiled here.
The TV script, which was nominated for a local Emmy in Chicago, has been expanded for the stage by the author. He hasn't quite turned it into a play, though.
The added dialogue is easy to pick out (idle chatter that has nothing to do with anything), and he has retained those short, filmic scenes that separate the video boys from playwrights. The resulting very long blackouts between scenes destroy any building of suspense, and the dialogue hardly gives

That’s a dynamite setup for a B-movie thriller in the vein of Wait Until Dark, and during a tight first act that’s where In Darkness (not to be confused with Agnieszka Holland’s Oscar-nominated 2011 drama) seems to be headed. Director Anthony Byrne takes his cues from Hitchcock and De Palma, and delivers some visual flourishes along the way.
In the film’s bravura opening sequence, a woman is violently strangled to death before In Darkness literally rewinds the footage and pulls back the camera to reveal a film being played on a screen. A long tracking shot moves over the orchestra scoring the scene before landing on Dormer’s pianist.

Dark Web skates by on saturated nastiness, one terrific kill, and the audience's engagement in seeing if the filmmakers can pull off the stunt. Barely, but it's fun to watch them try.
No fun because it's just too real... a clever concept of cinematic design and storytelling, it proves to only be a deeply chilling cautionary tale.

Their product, codenamed Head & Shoulders, was finally ready to test in the market. It proved so successful that it was launched across America the following year.

Over the course of her pregnancy, Meghan Markle‘s worn everything from sequined gowns to halter tops — but if you’ve noticed that many of her maternity looks fall into a familiar pattern, you’re not alone.
The Duchess of Sussex, 37, keeps reaching for the same style combo: a shift dress that skims her baby bump paired with a perfectly-tailored blazer or coat that shows off her shape, often finished off with classic pumps and her now-signature messy bun.
In the debut episode of Page Six Style’s new video series “Royal Roundtable,” we’ve broken down three such outfits that fit Markle’s chosen formula: the green Erdem coat and matching dress she chose for Commonwealth Day, her more budget-friendly Reiss look from International Women’s Day and the gold brocade ensemble she picked for a celebration in honor of Prince Charles.

She does a good job in it and she gets to show off her dancing, but it’s really no more representative of her career than Night of the Hunter is representative of Lillian Gish’s.
Mae established herself as a screen beauty in the late 1910s, starring in a number of melodramas of which the most familiar example today is the ridiculous potboiler A Mormon Maid (1917). At the end of the decade, she transitioned into a genre all her own, with films centered on show business, exotic costumes, tangled romance and often a dash of crime. It was a highly successful formula, particularly when the script left room for a specialty dance number or two.
But audiences began to tire of the formula by the mid-1920s. Age, scandal and a frosty relationship with studio boss Louis B. Mayer hobbled her career further, and it sputtered out shortly after the talkie revolution.
But in her heyday, she was the most glamorous star on the screen. Here’s a look back.

Do You Write With a Formula?
The idea of formulas in writing always makes my nose wrinkle. Because to me, formula means repetition…and repetition in writing could very well lead to boredom. Have you ever had that? Followed an author you’ve loved for years only to find that by their tenth or fifteenth book you can finish it for them, because you already know how they roll and what they’re going to do with their characters?
That always frustrates me, and as a writer I have tried my very best not to fall into this trap. That’s partly why I write in a variety of genres. I never want to be thought of as the author who regurgitates the same old stuff.
But the truth is…there are formulas in writing and whether we like that fact or not, we must accept it, because the right formula can make for a brilliant book, just like the wrong formula can make for pages of drivel.

I picked up Where the Crawdads Sing because it was the September book for Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club, and y’all know I pretty much do everything Reese tells me to. It was an interesting debut novel that I can only describe as Barbara Kingsolver meets Pat Conroy.
Where the Crawdads Sing is the story of Kya Clark, a young woman who, abandoned by her family, grew up alone in the marshlands of 1950s North Carolina. Kya is deemed “marsh trash” by most denizens of the nearby town and attends only one day of school in her life. She forges a few strong friendships, develops an almost preternatural knowledge of the local flora and fauna, and learns to read (and love) with the help of a kind local boy. The story alternates between Kya’s bleak 1950s childhood and the late 1960s when, as a young adult, the “Marsh Girl” finds herself on trial for the murder of the town’s golden boy.
Where the Crawdads Sing creates a delicate and fascinating world within the North Carolina marshes. In her fiction debut, author Delia Owens, an internationally-acclaimed wildlife scientists, raises complex questions about the laws and morality of the natural world vs. those proscribed by society. This was a very good book that could have been a great book if the ending had been a little more finely tuned.

In 2003 Blair was caught plagiarizing the work of other reporters and supplementing his own reporting with fabricated details in dozens of different stories published in The Times. The ensuing media frenzy left a major blemish on the history of the ‘Old Grey Lady’, which just a year earlier won a record seven Pulitzer prizes for its coverage of 9/11. It was a spectacular fall for both Blair and the paper. The ‘Blair Affair’ served up sordid details in a soap-opera style tale of deception, drug abuse, racism, mental illness, hierarchy, white guilt, and power struggles inside the hallowed halls of The New York Times.
A FRAGILE TRUST follows Blair as he slowly unravels in the face of mounting pressures and distractions. Starting with his ‘reporting’ of the plagiarized article that ultimately lead to his undoing, we trace the rise and fall of this fascinating young reporter as he clings to his career at The Times even as he is losing his mind.
A FRAGILE TRUST is at the most basic level a compelling, character-driven narrative about an important chapter in the history of journalism. It is also a complex story about power, ethics, representation, race, and accountability in the mainstream media.

A tale of sacrifice and strength, Padmavati’s story has for years been revered for showcasing true Rajput spirit. While it remains a matter of debate on whether she actually ever existed, authors, filmmakers, and artists have over the years given the popular folklore their own interpretation.
Author Sutapa Basu’s latest book Padmavati: The Queen Tells Her Own Story, as the title suggests tries to explore the fabled story from the queen’s perspective. Basu intertwines two periods into one story and the result is an intriguing tale of love, passion, bravery, honour and ultimate sacrifice.
The story begins in present day. The author very cleverly uses the ongoing controversy around Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Padmaavat in her narrative and has journalist Mrinalini Rao traveling to Chittorgarh fort to explore the truth behind the fabled Padmavati amid the protest around the film. Mrinalini meets a local there, Uma, who unravels that Padmavati’s story is best narrated in Padma wali - a memoir of sorts that Queen had written and which was known only to her close associates. The story then shifts to Singhaldweep, a nearly perfect kingdom of which Padmavati is a princess.
Basu’s historical saga keeps going back and forth – keeping the readers intrigued throughout. Much like Mrinalini, the reader intently waits for the story to

We knew a little.

They spoke with accents. They often approached the task of childrearing with a grim, life-or-death intensity. Their native land seemed so exotic, so other-worldly, it might as well have been on the moon. But then again, the moon was only three days’ flight away - a fraction of the time it took to sail from Yokohama to the US.

The daring 1976 rescue by Israeli commandoes of 102 hostages held by terrorists in a Ugandan airport is such a compelling story it’s near impossible to mess up.
Shortly after the real-life incident, Hollywood made two good star-studded, made-for-TV movies (“Victory at Entebbe” and “Raid on Entebbe”), while Israeli filmmakers made their own account (“Operation Thunderbolt”) of the heroic events.
Now some 40 years later, “7 Days in Entebbe” explores the story again.
If you are already familiar with the events, does the new film have something new to say or add anything new to the historical record? No.
But if you unfamiliar with the successful rescue mission or have vague memories of the three previous films, then the mostly competent and interesting “7 Days in Entebbe” is worth seeing.
Padilha also does a compelling job showing how the Air France crew — especially the flight engineer (Denis Ménochet) — did their best to maintain the safety of their passengers.
Interesting too is the depictions of two of the hijackers, Brigitte Kuhlmann (Rosamund Pike) and Wilfried Böse (Daniel Brühl), both Germans.

A Palaeolithic farmer moved through the sun-fuelled day and star-steered night in a radically different way than the Elizabethan merchants who set their pace to the clocks newly installed in their town squares. Since then, science has swept time into increasingly minute and standardized units - the industrial efficiency of ironworks' punch clocks; the space-age precision of atomic fountains and GPS satellites; the fifteen-minute increments of Outlook's digital revolution. And in the past decade, string-theory branes, multiverses, and "clockless” physics have begun to overturn our ideas about how the universe began - the Big Bang - in ways that will completely rewrite time and our experience of it.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed Wiesel as a ray of light, and said his extraordinary personality and unforgettable books demonstrated the triumph of the human spirit over the most unimaginable evil.
“Out of the darkness of the Holocaust, Elie became a powerful force for light, truth and dignity,” he said.
Wiesel did not waver in his campaign never to let the world forget the Holocaust horror. While at the White House in 1985 to receive the Congressional Gold Medal, he even rebuked US President Ronald Reagan for planning to lay a wreath at a German cemetery where some of Hitler’s notorious Waffen SS troops were buried.

These can be films that we always have watched around this time of year or the films we watch when we feel alone or scared, or just need to be reminded there is joy and happiness in the world. Comfort films are the films which are able to move past the medium, move past the screen and emotionally touch us in some positive way. For me, when I was brought the prompt for what are my comfort films, I instantly thought of Robin Williams. He had a presence on the screen, and indeed off it, that transcended the medium. He is human, he is hopeful, he is zany, he is crazy. I think the above quote shows best why Williams is a comfort actor. Many comedians speak about this idea of fighting their own sadness with comedy.
He was a revolutionary to the comedy world, and he is someone whom I can say brings a light and joy for me whenever I saw him on screen. Whether it was in his classic comedies like Mrs. Doubtfire or revered dramas like Good Will Hunting, Williams stood out for his charisma and charm. He has a magical way of touching so many people with his humor and the characters he played.
The ideas of comfort and love almost bleed from his movies. What I will explore these next few weeks is how Williams was able to transfer these emotions and intangible feelings from the screen and to our hearts.

So, what does that really mean? Obviously, the “light” Jesus spoke about is a spiritual light. It doesn’t mean that those who believe in Him live in perpetual sunshine or that non-believers live in a cave.

You may remember from an Art Class that the property of reflecting light, of a particular wavelength, causes all color. With light, we can see with our physical eyes, all that there is to see.

By the end of the second episode, you start to see a deviation from the typical plot beats reminiscent of The Missing, with higher stakes and an increased sense of danger – allowing the thriller to burn through story faster than its predecessor.
Everything is not always immediately clear. Particularly in the first few episodes, there are unexplained scenes with characters which don’t immediately link to the story we’re supposed to be following. Although this is the genius of Harry and Jack Williams’ ability to plot out story, with everything ultimately fitting into the larger puzzle.
Baptiste is definitely less of a puzzle than The Missing though, with the writers ditching the dual timeline format and opting to tell the story in chronological order. In a way, the pace of this thriller almost demands it be told chronologically.

Set in the Mojave desert, this survival thriller offers up it's fair share of entertainment in it's cat-and-mouse style tale of murder and deception but sells itself short when it comes to a fully plausible plot.
Young tracker Ben is going through something of a crisis in his personal life when a wealthy insurance broker, Madec arrives in town with an array of expensive weaponry and a set of flashy wheels. Madec is keen to be be shown around the harsh landscape that borders the town, wanting to hunt some big game while closing a deal. It isn't long before Madec lands the pair of them into some serious trouble and decides that Ben, rather than him, will be the fall guy.
The searing heat of the Mojave provides the perfect backdrop for an intense thriller, but ultimately the movie is let down by a narrative which becomes less and less plausible as Ben is forced into ever more dangerous confrontations with his murderous employer. While the twists and turns make for entertaining viewing, by the time the finale has rolled around it has descended into the absurd, making it hard to take any of it seriously.
Jeremy Irvine gives a competent performance as Ben, and watching his character adapt to the worsening conditions of the desert and cheat death while being hunted

The lottery in Babylon begins as a simple game of chance. Tickets are sold, winners are drawn, a prize awarded. Over time, the game evolves. Punishments are doled out alongside prizes. Eventually the lottery becomes compulsory. Its cadence increases, until the outcomes of its drawings come to underpin everything. Mundane events and life turns are subject to the lottery’s “intensification of chance.” Or perhaps, as Borges alludes, it is the lottery’s explanatory power that grows, as well as that of its shadowy operator the Company, until all occurrences are recast in light of its odds.

I thought that the "Terror in Space" subgenre had been tapped out, with Alien covering the supernatural threat and Gravity dealing with factual fears. Lo and behold, someone had the brilliant idea to combine the two into a film that has all the grotesque monster imagery of Alien with the intense thrills of Gravity. That really is Life in a nutshell when you get down to brass tacks, though the film itself is highly enjoyable. It utilizes its talented cast and constricted set to deliver a heightened sense of paranoia and a monster that seems to be invincible. It's clear this film drew inspiration from H.R. Giger's immortal Xenomorph design, but cared enough about its own story that it comes across more as an homage than a blatant rip-off.
Life stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, and Ryan Reynolds as astronauts aboard the I.S.S. who discover a living organism with Martian origins. As they examine it, it begins to grow and quickly turns hostile, evolving into a bloodthirsty monster hellbent on reaching the surface of Earth. This film turns from a space drama to a psychological thriller on a dime as the monster, nicknamed Calvin, does everything in its power to kill the crew and bring the space station down to orbit. The performances are all fantastic, but the real star is Calvin. Its design is refreshingly original and exceptionally disturbing, particularly when it devours its victims.

The practice of aṣṭāṅga-yoga itself comprises āsana, prāṇāyāma, pratyāhāra and dhāraṇā, i.e. from the physical to the ethereal, as follows: āsnana: harmony with the physical body; prāṇāyāma: harmony with the energetic body; pratyāhāra: emotional harmony; dhāraṇā: harmony of thought.

The Coalition army's Habsburg Austrians together with a small contingent of allied Dutch Republic troops repulsed all French assaults after bitter fighting and Dumouriez conceded defeat, withdrawing from the field. The French position in the Austrian Netherlands swiftly collapsed, ending the threat to the Dutch Republic and allowing Austria to regain control of her lost province. The War of the First Coalition engagement was fought at Neerwinden, located 57 kilometres (35 mi) east of Brussels in present-day Belgium.
Neerwinden is a village in Belgium in the province of Flemish Brabant, a few miles southeast of Tienen, and is now part of the municipality of Landen.

One must admire 82-year-old director Eric Rohmer for trying something quite new at this stage of his lengthy career. Known for such films as My Night at Maud’s, Claire’s Knee, and Chloe in the Afternoon as well as several cycles of films, including four films in the 1990s comprising his Tales of the Four Seasons, this time Rohmer focuses on a tale of the French Revolution based on the memoirs of Grace Elliott, an English lady caught up in the turbulent times of that Revolution. The film is The Lady and the Duke (original French title L’Anglaise et le duc) and the story revolves around former lovers, a English woman now living in France with monarchist sympathies and the radical Duke of Orleans who favours seeing some monarchist heads roll for the good of the country and also to save his own skin.
It’s not the subject matter that’s new, however. It’s the film’s visual effect. While interior scenes were all shot conventionally, Rohmer commissioned paintings for all the outdoor locations in the story and then digitally combined them with the live actors who had done their work in front of blue screens. The result is unusual, inventive, and very surrealistic looking, never really losing its impact throughout the film. It imparts a real feeling of an earlier era to the whole story — perhaps closer to what our imaginations might expect Paris to have looked at that time than would the sight of authentically constructed exterior sets.

It occurred from the years of 1789 to 1799, and continued to have long term effects not just in France, but around the round. However, many people do not consider the substantial effect that this had music. Had the French revolution not taken place, perhaps today’s music would be very different. Nevertheless, despite the fact that we are not in the midst of a revolution in this day and age, the circumstances of musicians today are certainly comparable to that of those in the 18th century, the difference being the emergence of technology that has primarily caused a problem.
The Revolution had a great effect on Romanticism influencing romantic writers, inspiring them to address themes of democracy and human rights, which resulted in a complete transformation of society. William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge were the first important English Romantic poets. Whenever in history, human right is suppressed for long time, revolution started. The French King Louis XVI and the aristocrat class spent their life on pomp and lavishness. There was a gulf of difference between the court life and life of common people.
The common people did not get enough to meet their basic needs whereas the upper class people led a life of luxury.

Despite the small part--dubbed simply "la petite fille"--Mastroianni was nominated for a César Award for Most Promising Actress. Her first role in earnest followed several years later in young adulthood, a supporting part in another Deneuve film, the 1993 André Téchiné drama, "My Favorite Season," which co-starred Daniel Auteuil.

Deneuve voiced Marjane's mother, Mrs. Satrapi, and the film earned numerous awards worldwide.

The Order of Saint Michael (French: Ordre de Saint-Michel) is a French dynastic order of chivalry, founded by Louis XI of France on 1 August 1469, in competitive response to the Burgundian Order of the Golden Fleece founded by Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy, Louis' chief competitor for the allegiance of the great houses of France, the Dukes of Orléans, Berry, and Brittany. As a chivalric order, its goal was to confirm the loyalty of its knights to the king. Originally, there were a limited number of knights, at first thirty-one, then increased to thirty-six including the king. An office of Provost was established in 1476. The Order of St Michael was the highest Order in France until it was superseded by the Order of the Holy Spirit.
Although officially abolished by the government authorities of the July Revolution in 1830 following the French Revolution, its activities carried on. It is still recognised by the International Commission on Orders of Chivalry.
The first knights were among the most powerful nobles in France, close relatives of the king and a few from other royal houses in Europe. Originally, the number of members (called companions) was limited to thirty-five. In 1565, during the Wars of Religion, when loyalties were strained and essential, Charles IX increased the membership to fifty, but there may have been as many as seven hundred knights under Henry III in 1574.

A mother; still grieving for the loss of her husband who was stabbed and killed during a feud with the rival Felix family, finds her son is due to marry an ex-lover of a Felix.
But he is happy to let the past rest, for love... for now.
Set in 1930s Spain, the old feud is stirred up by rumours and whispering surrounding the marriage linking families to their turbulent warring history. The younger generation has put love above all and sets the past in the past, with plans for the future to unite and harmonise.
But when tradition and expectations are so at odds with instinct, our young bride is torn between her desire and her duty. Her subsequent actions create a ferocious chain of events which will end in an irrevocably cruel climax.
In 2005 Tanya Ronder premiered her reimagining of Blood Wedding to critical acclaim. Her “poetic and dreamlike” text (British Theatre Guide 2005) “retains its beautifully crafted phrases but releases primary poetic responsibility to the production as a whole” (Terri Paddock What’s On Stage 2005).

First published in 1959, Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House has been hailed as a perfect work of unnerving terror. It is the story of four seekers who arrive at a notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of a “haunting;’ Theodora, his lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But Hill House is gathering its powers—and soon it will choose one of them to make its own.
I love a good classic horror tale, and when it comes to ones like The Haunting of Hill House, they are especially fascinating because you can see so much of modern horror reflected back in elements of these stories. Shirley Jackson is considered by many to be the original queen of horror and, if not the creator, at the very least the author most responsible for making the haunted house trope popular. Given that it’s my favorite horror trope, you can imagine the excitement and apprehension I felt over finally picking this book up.

Hocus Pocus and Practical Magic meets the Salem Witch trials in this haunting story about three sisters on a quest for revenge—and how love may be the only thing powerful enough to stop them. Welcome to the cursed town of Sparrow… Where, two centuries ago, three sisters were sentenced to death for witchery. Stones were tied to their ankles and they were drowned in the deep waters surrounding the town. Now, for a brief time each summer, the sisters return, stealing the bodies of three weak-hearted girls so that they may seek their revenge, luring boys into the harbor and pulling them under. Like many locals, seventeen-year-old Penny Talbot has accepted the fate of the town. But this year, on the eve of the sisters’ return, a boy named Bo Carter arrives; unaware of the danger he has just stumbled into. Mistrust and lies spread quickly through the salty, rain-soaked streets. The townspeople turn against one another. Penny and Bo suspect each other of hiding secrets. And death comes swiftly to those who cannot resist the call of the sisters. But only Penny sees what others cannot. And she will be forced to choose: save Bo, or save herself.

In 2009, when Razia Jan, a visionary and fearless educator, arrived in the war-blasted village of Deh’Subz to open the Zabuli Education Center, she placed herself at the center of her country’s turmoil. As recounted in the new documentary by GroundTruth Films director Beth Murphy, “What Tomorrow Brings,” Jan faced families and village elders hostile to female education, threat of Taliban violence and the haunting question of what would happen when U.S. forces withdrew.
To sustain herself, Razia had her own resourcefulness, the passion of her teachers and, perhaps most surprisingly in a conservative rural setting, the free-spirited determination of the girls themselves to get an education. “What Tomorrow Brings” has its national broadcast premiere on the PBS documentary series POV on Monday, Oct. 31, 2016 at 10 p.m. ET.

A seemingly inscrutable title effectively conveys the absolute loss of identity suffered by its female protagonist, followed by an open-ended denouement that – while certain to frustrate audiences – nonetheless leaves little doubt about the young girl’s ultimate fate.
In between is a haunting, harrowing tale that shares parallels with Winter’s Bone, last year’s indie awards darling, beyond their shared Sundance Institute genesis and the common casting of John Hawkes. Both films use rural settings and anxious atmospherics to tell the tales of young women grappling with a loss of family and innocence, along with the sinister forces that fill the void.
Writer-director Sean Durkin rotates between two timelines, at times cutting away within scenes and even single shots, in the life of Martha (Elizabeth Olsen), a young woman who flees a controlling cult located in the Catskill Mountains during the film’s opening scene. A desperate Martha telephones Katie (Maria Dizzia), her older sister, who brings Martha to live with her and newlywed husband Ted (Hugh Dancy) at the couple’s lakeside Connecticut vacation home.
The narrative swings between Martha’s attempt to assimilate into her sister’s life after a two-year absence and flashbacks to Martha’s introduction and eventual indoctrination into the cruel cult run by Patrick (Hawkes), the group’s Mansonic leader.

His reasons for going it alone are unclear since the court hearings on the subject have been closed to the public. Roof may have delusions of being a martyr for the cause of white supremacy, or perhaps he does not want evidence of mental illness to be brought to light. Whatever his motivation, the judge has ruled that Roof has a right to represent himself because the Supreme Court has said that the Constitution generally provides an accused the right to be his own lawyer given that it his fate at stake.
This idea of the right to control one’s fate echoes a romantic vision of those who settled America as self-sufficient individuals willing to stand up to the Government on their own.

Apparently taken from true events, the film follows the disappearance of several students and a chaperone on an all-female college picnic outing on St. Valentine’s Day at the turn of the twentieth century.
With a purposefully minimalist plot, much of Weir’s film relies on mood and atmosphere to insert ideas and insinuations into the audience’s mind. Rather than tell the audience what might have happened to the missing girls, or even allow other characters to discuss the horrific possibilities, Weir leaves much to the viewer’s imagination. This somehow makes for a much more haunting film, approached like horror despite a lack of distinct violence or attacks. The way in which Weir films the location of their disappearance, Hanging Rock, clearly gives us the film’s monster. Mountains with face-like shapes are filmed alongside an eerie soundtrack of pan flute and haunting sound effects. Before the girls depart for their trip, they are warned that it is a dangerous area for many reasons. Never actually seeing the specific dangers makes the anxiety of the location even more haunting.

That is why it is so easy to appreciate and to also like his music; the composer always produces a work or a piece of music that holds something for everyone and every taste. DREAM HOUSE is a horror tale and “yes” the composer does lay down some pretty fearsome music within this score that chills and purveys a feeling of uneasiness.

The opening track ‘Dream House’ is a luxurious and blossoming composition that is touching and heartrending. It begins with a childlike sounding solo voice, which itself immediately creates an atmosphere of unease. As the composition moves on, the composer employs woodwind, piano, and strings which combine to bring us a rather touchingly delicate lullaby of sorts - in fact one would think that everything in the dream house is just that, dreamy and at peace.

If by chance you neglect it for a while, you’ll be amazed by how angry it gets. And trust me, you don’t want to see it angry.
In tribute to all people who have curly hair, you’re not alone. We all share the same following struggles.
Curls and humidity don’t mix, ever. We get scared whenever we hear: summering in the North Coast. You know it, it’s the time when humidity takes over.
People have no clue of how curly hair looks like if brushed while it’s still dry. Just a big ball of undefined frizzy hair. That’s why we never touch our curls when they’re dry.
For some reason, sea salt makes the perfect curls, the defied curls that we daydream about every day. It aches our hearts to have to wash it afterwards.

This sublime feature film co-directed by Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke for Netflix, starring Martin Freeman and co-starring Anthony Hayes and Susie Porter, with a two-thumbs-up supporting cast, can snare you as it did this reviewer in a persistent loop of benign obsessive compulsion. Every time I hear CARGO’s rhythmic and haunting soundtrack end credits, I want to see the film. That makes me want to hear the soundtrack end credits again and that makes me want to see the film again – setting off a psychological urge that that won’t be denied until I eventually chill out – until it all begins again.
The best zombie movies, with their eyeful of pestilence, decay and degradation, are metaphors for the apocalyptic end of days of a consumer society morphed into the ultimate consumer society, whose citizens, shorn of humanity, form roaming, ravenous herky-jerky mobs on savage hunts for the next bite. The best films end on an ironic note or with a denouement clearly ambivalent about the future.
Regarding CARGO, however, 2018 TFF staff reviewer Matt Barone nailed it when he wrote that the film exists on another plain of imagination. “Filmmakers Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke defy genre fans’ zombie-based expectations with their co-directing debut. Cargo pulls no punches in its intensity, yet the duo’s thoughtful film offers a deep, emotional meditation on intimate issues, like a parent’s love, as well as larger themes, like environmental protection and cultural strife. Injecting fresh life into zombie cinema’s often cold bloodstream, Cargo is tailor-made for sophisticated horror fans.”
