Sometimes I have trouble playing YouTube videos on Android. I have Firefox 55.0.2. I press play and nothing happens. It still happens when: Clearing the cache and restarting it. Disabling my Add-ons. Using desktop view.
My Add-ons: Decentraleyes, HTTPS Everywhere, Self-Self-destructing Cookies, Video Background Play Fix, and Ublock Origin.
How could I fix it? Thanks.
If you can't get it fixed, try using the Android Youtube app.

Do you know what could be causing the issue? I'm not sure what else to do.
Moving to Mobile as this relates to the Android version of Firefox,
If I recall correctly... the above extension allows a user to 'protect' certain cookies from being deleted... did you protect cookies for U.T.?? ... so maybe that extensions isn't removing it/them?
EDIT ... else ... try what makaiguy posted.
As you can see she's (The CAT) always alert and on the prowl for Meoware !!
I didn't protect cookies for Yotube. I can delete Self-Destructing Cookies to see if that works. I could try the Youtube app.

While each of us brings our unique experience, expertise and passion to the revolution, we are vision and value aligned in our commitment to creating social impact, exploring human potential and cultivating consciousness. MORE...
Our Journey
2016 Our journey began in June as a one week experiment & exploration into the possibilities in VR/AR/MR. In August we launched Digital Raign and announced the Shifting the Paradigm Summit at the Esalen Institute. We were joined by eighty influencers exploring the intersection of VR, Social Impact & Mindfulness, re-establishing Esalen as the "Davos of Reality" and our community as a "UN of VR" through this initial event which is now an annual gathering at the Institute.
After the Summit, we led strategy sessions with Dr. Tom Furness, the Grandfather of VR, and partnership planning for his non-profit, Virtual World Society. We were then invited to the White House for a Day Long Workshop on VR + STEM Inclusion and closed the year by establishing a partnership with think tank Emerging Future Institute and a presentation for DCVR held at AARP's innovation lab, The Hatchery.
2017 The year started off with a bang when we were asked by VR Fest to activate Nomadic Raign, a VIP experience at CES. We followed this up with our Consciousness in VR event series launch which included curating an all female panel discussion on consciousness and VR with immersion industry leaders.
The Horizon
Phase TWO! We established ourselves as the reality industry's first executive search firm and are now rolling out a suite of services from Search, to outsourced CFO to IP and Legal as well as Business Development and Marketing. Through our partnership with Cyberlab9 and Paragon VR we deliver a full suite of creative services and custom projects for corporate clientele. We've curated a unique stable of celebrities interested in utilizing emergent technology to ensure they stay ahead of the curve. We work with these rockstars individually and collectively - designing international retreats where they can convene while creating bleeding edge content.
Our second annual Reality Summit at The Esalen Institute in September 2017 will house 100 Thought Leaders with an emphasis on the trifecta of emerging technology, social impact and mindfulness/personal development. We've created 'ALL-IN' our diversity and inclusion initiative which will be announced at the Augmented World Expo; this initiative includes a women in emergent tech 5 day Summit at the INstitute slotted for early 2018. We have an additional 20+ 50-100 person immersive retreats being evaluated in locations around the world, such as Bermuda, Tulum and Greece among others and a conference/think tank developing in the Netherlands in collaboration with local partners - SingularityU, Brainport, BOM and Lumo Labs.
We have also launched Nomadic Raign, home of our emergent technology airstream fleet; featuring The Rainmakr, our 34 ft mobile production, recording and editing studio, VR experience activator and VIP Lounge.

My mill-spun hand dyed Lopi yarn is also sought out for its softness over store-bought lopi.

I've been spinning for 12 years, selling my products for 5 years
8. Where do you find inspiration?

Where do you go on holiday?(12 Posts)
I usually take DS on holidays combining my railcard and Travelodge and go all over the UK.
I'm looking at taking him on one of those P&O mini-cruises to Belgium in the summer and just wondered - where do you go?
With money always being so tight and it only being us and the DC (which they most certainly are not on a 4 hour train journey) - I thought I'd ask and get some ideas.
*ear in mind that all of my comments is based on it just being the two of us and so it is easier and cheaper than a family with one mum vs 3 DC
I take mine everywhere.
If you like travelling by train, the trains in Europe are great - fast, clean & reliable. If you book well in advance, you can get some good deals too. We've been to Paris, Amsterdam & Brussels on the Eurostar. There's a good "Rail & Sail" combination ticket (from Stena I think) which combines a train ticket in the UK with an overnight ferry to the Netherlands and a train ticket to anywhere you want to go in the Netherlands. We did it a couple of years ago - rented a cottage on a beach about an hour out of Amsterdam & it was fab. The journey was so simple and straightforward and the tickets were cheap too.
Cruising is great because the children will be entertained by all the activities on board and you won't have to cook! We've cruised from Southampton a couple of times, but this is obviously an expensive way to holiday.
This year I'm taking the car ferry over to Ireland and will drive to various different places whilst we are there. Renting cottages in Ireland seems to be cheaper than it would be in the rest of the UK during the summer holidays, which counteracts the cost of the ferry.
Likewise we go everywhere, Spain and the bigger cities, rural France, Amsterdam, New York and last year, Tuscany. We normally rent an apartment or villa so we can cook our own food and I can have some space in the evenings. It's just me and my daughter and I fund our trips by selling on Ebay.
Last year we went to Belgium and stayed on the coast so we could whizz up and down on the tram which is really cheap. A week long ticket also got us on the bus into Brugge.
We have been to France and Spain doing similar pottering.
I am hoping for a bit of a blow out later this year and go to Boston I have been before and know it's really easy to get around and as loads for kids.
I go abroad, all inclusive because it's cheaper and I've been going in term time. I know shoot me.
I also book a year - fifteen months in advance and pay in installments.
Last year DD and I had a week in Butlins Skegness because it was uber cheap and all I could afford. It's not everybody's ideal, but for the week including travel, accommodation, food and entertainment for the both of us it came to less than £300. Paid in installments and had a lovely sunny week at the seaside. DD had a fantastic time and I buried my head in multiple books and ignored the noise
This year it's my best friends wedding at the end of June, so I can't actually afford to go on holiday. Ho hum. Will have a week down south at my sisters in October and might see about a cheap-ish deal to Euro Disney in the February break next year.
I'm taking DS on a HF Holiday this year. They run walking and activity holidays. We're just doing a 4 night break this year (partly cos I'm nervous that I won't get on with anyone and hate it!) and it was very reasonably priced, especially as I didn't get charged a single adult supplement.
God the single adult supplement pisses me off. Love how you get punished for being by yourself.
So far I've only done cheap caravan holidays at the likes of Park and Haven which the children love but which I hate! We are doing one this year during the next school holiday then in the summer we are going on a single parent's holiday to Mallorca hich I'm really looking forward to, but which is incredibly expensive but I booked it back in October so have been budgeting for it.
I have been lucky as last year my parents paid for us to go to Tenerife with them on holiday for my mums 60th. This year however, there is no way I can afford a holiday abroad so I am just doing holidays at my parents caravan.
I hope next year to be able to afford to take the kids on a package holiday with fellow single mum mates x
We've been abroad quite a few times (just one ds here too) and actually often found it cheaper than going somewhere in the UK even with the flights taken into account. I like to go self-catering so I get a bit of space to myself in the evening to watch telly or read a book in a room separate to where he is sleeping, and very often self-catering in the UK seems to involve paying for bigger 'family' sized accommodation, whereas in other countries there are many more one-bedroom places. Eating out is cheaper too. Also, train travel within the UK is very expensive, even with a railcard.
It's really the little things that add up on your own.Parking,snacks, taxi's,drinks. Shared out they cost less but if it's just you they all add up.
All inclusive is your single parent friend. Cruising is great, being both AI and giving you time to do your own thing.
I love to travel and do lots of mini breaks around Europe. Not the best value but I always travelled before children and I intend to carry on regardless of cost. By keeping it to a weekend though I can track spending and not feel I need to worry about another week or getting home.
In terms of children's holidays anything before 9 years old is a bit of a waste I found out. They love anywhere and they don't really remember specific stuff about a place. I thought I was nurturing their love of new places. Nope. I realise because I didn't travel as a child I now love it,whilst my kids are blasé and love being at home.

Ahri Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Welcome to my League of Legends Champion demonstation futuring Ahri, The 9-tail fox.
Ahri is a mobile mage-assasin. Utilizing skill shots, dashes and clever positioning Ahri excels at taking out singe targets and distrupting the enemy team, Which means Ahri is good at 1v1 battles and in teamfights. Once she gets lvl 6, she deals tones ofc dmg with her ultimate. Her ultimate makes akali cry, because it deals more dmg. Ahri, needs a blue at lvl 6. Aks from ur teamates or ur jungler to help u take the blue buff. Ahri is a midlane champ. She can take down Ad ranged or maged quickly. If u prefer, u can harass ur opponent over the time.
My runes are:
1)(Greater Mark of Insight) (Magic Penetration)
2) (Greater Seal of Potency) (Ability power)
3) (Greater Glyph of Potency) (Ability power)
4) (Greater Quintessences of Fortitude) (Health)
This build is aimed at giving me the greatest magic damage at all stages of the game. It also provides me health Points, which is always Usefull in early game.

Avernus - Botryoidal Hematite Ring - Sized to Order
Completely hand-fabricated from fine and .925 sterling silver sheet and wire, this tall ring features a large and unique botryoidal hematite stone, and detailed stampings all the way around the bezel.
This ring will be sized to your finger before it is completed. The bezel in the image has been left open, as the wide channel band will be sized-to-order, and then soldered to the reverse before refinishing the final ring.
Please tell me your desired ring size in a message with your order. Quarter and half sizes are available.
As with all handmade and one-of-a-kind jewelry, utmost care should be taken to keep jewelry clean and dry. Never wear your pieces while bathing, swimming, or washing dishes to avoid having them submerged in water. Bones and stones are porous and susceptible to become weak when they get wet. Metals can tarnish and lose their patinas more quickly if they get wet or washed with chemicals frequently. Also, please remove your pieces before any strenuous activities as they are fragile and parts could be knocked loose or fall out. Treat your jewelry like the unique piece of art that it is and it will remain in good condition for ages.

Sam Tomkins backs call to name Man of Steel award after Steve Prescott
Sam Tomkins has backed a call to name the Super League Man of Steel award after the late Steve Prescott.
Last Updated: 10/11/13 5:22pm
Tomkins, the 2012 Man of Steel, believes it would be a fitting tribute to the former St Helens, Hull and Wakefield full-back who on Saturday lost his seven-year battle with cancer.
"A few people have tweeted about changing the 'Man of Steel' award to the 'Steve Prescott Award'," Tomkins said himself on Twitter.
"Great idea! I would be behind that 100%!"
Another former Man of Steel, Paul Sculthorpe, who took part in a series of gruelling fund-raising activities with his former team-mate in aid of the Steve Prescott Foundation, described the former England and Ireland international as a "true icon".
"The world lost a true icon yesterday," Sculthorpe said. "Words can't do him justice. Will miss you my friend."
St Helens on Sunday opened a book of condolence at Langtree Park and say it will remain open for a week.

A Review Of The Barnett Recruit Crossbow
Barnett has a wide range of crossbows to fit pretty much every niche in hunting. Perfecting a crossbow for individuals with smaller frames like children and some men and women, this Barnett Recruit Crossbow review will try to expose the results achieved by multiple iterations of design and production.
So, how does it compare to other Barnett crossbows as well as similarly priced models from other countries? Let's find out!
Barnett Recruit Crossbow review
Advertised as the perfect crossbow for individuals with small-frames, the Barnett Recruit Crossbow is designed to be lightweight and manageable.
Coming with an adjustable butt stock, the Barnett Recruit Crossbow package includes the cocking device, the red dot sight, 3x20 inch arrows, a quiver, and the crossbow itself.
As with any Barnett crossbow, frequent care has to be given to any and all moving parts to ensure that they are properly lubed and waxed for a minimal amount of friction.
Specifications of the Barnett Recruit Crossbow
The Recruit Crossbow (review) is 33.2 inches by 16 inches by 5 inches in size and comes in at an incredible 6 pounds, making it one of the lightest crossbows currently provided by Barnett.
Supporting 20-inch carbon arrows, the Barnett Recruit Crossbow provides solid force with over 300 FPS and accuracy up to 50 yards and a gradual decrease in accuracy up to 70 yards.
What do I think of the Barnett Recruit Crossbow ?
This Barnett Recruit Crossbow review shows how good the crossbow is. Most users also gave positive reviews in regards to its design, lightweight and compact nature. And don't forget the force behind the arrows!
It has decent accuracy for quite a distance.
That being said, it is easily accessible, easy to assemble, and provides a solid experience regardless of age or gender.
Click here to read customer reviews on Amazon
A small group of reviews were overwhelmingly negative and had to do with the customer support. A few received defective crossbows and had issues getting in contact with someone from Barnett for a possible refund.
With mixed results getting refunds, individuals reported having to call back on a number of occasions to solve the problem.
A common complain and possible warning is that the arrow holder and scope broke through early ware and tare.
Guru's verdict
Taking into account that the defected bows are rare occurrences, this Barnett Recruit Crossbow review ends with the conclusion that this could be the best crossbow for youth and beginners.
Just as advertised by Barnett, this crossbow fits well with individuals who have slighter smaller frames, including women. Definitely worth the price tag!
A great way to learn how to fire a crossbow, the Barnett Recruit Crossbow comes with all the skills that it takes to fire heavier crossbow in a size that makes it manageable for nearly everyone.
In the end, if you are looking for a good gender-neutral crossbow that doesn't scream 'girl' and also manages to handle well outside of a few extreme situations, then the Barnett Recruit Crossbow is right for you.

You may find it hard to imagine Peter Dinklage without the trappings of Tyrion Lannister, but if there was ever a polar opposite to the charming princeling, it's this one! Dinklage will be donning a mullet (yup, a full-blown mullet!) for the new Adam Sandler movie [Pixels](movie:977636).
Pixels stars Adam Sandler, Peter Dinklage and Josh Gad as gamers fighting off an alien invasion based on classic arcade games like Tetris, Space Invaders and Donkey Kong. Which sounds hilarious, and now that I have seen the look that Dinklage is rocking, I just know that it is going to be Sandler back on top form.
Just look at him! Mullet aside, he has a barbed wire forearm tattoo. He has a bandanna around his neck, and what appears to be a collection of other tattoos inspired by 80s rock. Please, please let the soundtrack feature a lot of AC/DC.
Now, you are being given the chance to win a spot in the movie! If you are at SDCC 2014, head over to the Electric Dreams Arcade at the Hard Rock Hotel to enter. I seriously doubt there will be a costumed Dinklage there, but oh, I really hope so!

The 2.2 release of the DataFlex AJAX Library is designed to work with DataFlex and previous DataFlex applications since the 2010/16.0 release. Below you will find a summary of the changes since version 2.1 of the AJAX Library. See the "release notes" from the menu items for the library for a more detailed explanation.
Updated themes
Both the 'classic' and 'business' theme have been updated with new icons, buttons and other small improvements to improve visual appeal and improving the loading speed, reducing the amount of flicker by using sprite techniques when loading pages.
The new expression data binding allows you to directly call functions in your DataFlex application that will be executed to show a calculated value at the client side (HTML). For example:  where CalcAmount is the name of a published function at the DataFlex Server side that should perform the calculation and return the result.
At some point you will want to call a function in your DataFlex application directly from the browser. Now you can do that very easy using the new VdfCall interface. You can make those AJAX calls to the server within a single line of code, passing function name, the parameters as an array, and a reference to a client side handler function. Since the calls are placed asynchronously, you use the handler function to present follow up on the result of the call.
Data bound server call
Similar to the Vdf Call above, but the data bound call makes sure that all buffers at the server side contain the records that are currently active at the client, making it easy to work with the buffers. Buffer values that are changed at the server side during the call will be shown upon return of the call.
Runtime labels
This allows an application to easily get the server side data dictionary label for a field. For example: .
Clear All
The missing clear all function has been added to the Data Dictionary Object system. It will clear the complete form just as the DataFlex for Windows performs a "clear all".
Improved DDO structure support
The way the information from the data dictionaries between the client side and server side is exchanged has been redesigned to be able to handle more complex database forms.
Error details & CollapsePanel
Errors now have a "details" section that will show error details. By default the details are hidden. This allows for more user friendly messages for the end-user while still providing as much as possible detail for the developer.

Are Estate Agents usually correct?
We were basing our asking price on a mortgage valuation and Zoopla valuation but Estate agent said we have overestimated by £10,000.

Estate agents are not always correct, and their valuation is just their opinion, albeit an experienced opinion. The only true valuation is RICS valuation.
Web reference: http://www.bestpricespaid.co.uk/blog/online-property-valu...Answered on Nov 18 2013, Report content
Estate Agents use various methods in order to arrive at a valuation price. What we must bear in mind is that agents are not surveyors, and the price they give you is not really a valuation but a recommended marketing price. Realistically, a property is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. A surveyor is then paid to value it accurately and ensure your buyer is paying the right amount. Zoopla valuations are only accurate to the info inputted and are not an accurate representation. Agents will advise you of the buyers they have looking, and will also know the market much better and what is selling. My advice, get more than one agent to value it for you... that way you will have a better idea of where your price sits. Hope this helpsAnswered on Nov 22 2013, Report content
NoAnswered on Jan 15 2014, Report content
Depends on what your goal is? if you are happy to wait and let it sit on the market, then estate agents are for you. If you want a quick sale then there are other avenues you can explore. Depends on your motivation really as well as the estate agents.Answered on Jan 31 2014, Report content

Dan Quayle's Son For Congress!
Ben Quayle, aka P-o-t-a-t-o-e's son, is running for Congress from the state of Arizona (of course).
In the grand Quayle tradition, he seems unaware that Mexico is not a part of this country. (One presumes that he becomes readily aware of this fact anytime he sees a non-white person jaywalking.)

South Korea's presidential impeachment scandal has unleashed chaos onto the political scene in Seoul, as presidential aspirants jockey for attention and unorthodox views bubble to the surface. Last week, we noted that one upstart candidate was railing against the security alliance with the United States. Now, on the anniversary of a controversial deal to settle the "comfort women" dispute with Japan, that historically charged issue is rearing its ugly ahead once again and threatening to upend Seoul's relationship with Tokyo.
Karl Friedhoff opines on the situation in Seoul for The Wall Street Journal:
The issue arises now as South Korea finds its domestic politics in chaos. South Korean activists unhappy with the deal placed a new comfort-women statue in front of the Japanese consulate in Busan to protest the one-year anniversary of the agreement. South Korean politicians, jockeying for position to become the country's next president, have also promised to renege on the deal. In response, Japan recalled its ambassador to Seoul as well as its consul general to Busan.
This intra-alliance discord comes at a time of great uncertainty for U.S. foreign policy in Asia. Most evidence points to a Trump administration that will take a harder line on China than did the Obama administration. […]
South Korea's foreign policy is in complete disarray. It is effectively leaderless as the country's president is being impeached. There is no consensus on policies toward North Korea and China.
Friedhoff is correct to write that repairing this fractious state of affairs will be an early challenge for Trump, who has promised to deter aggression from China and North Korea. The Obama administration recognized that Japan and South Korea should be key partners in that effort, and accordingly facilitated some productive exchanges between the two countries, including an intelligence-sharing pact and missile defense drills. But that rapprochement always rested on rocky ground given entrenched historical resentments. Seoul's current leadership vacuum has only made such disagreements all the more apparent, re-opening a rift that could be exploited by China or North Korea.
If the Trump administration is serious about restraining Beijing and Pyongyang, it cannot afford to ignore these destabilizing dynamics. Trump has not yet proven that nursing delicate alliance relationships is within his skill set; if anything, his campaign trail rhetoric questioning America's alliance commitments has only fueled uncertainty in South Korea and Japan. But if he hopes to make any headway in deterring China, Trump will need to devote serious attention to mending ties between the two countries.

Twixt (2011)
While in town the Sheriff tries to get him involved in writing a book together based on his case files. The Sheriff tries to entice him by offering a view of a teenager girl who was murdered and found with a stake in her heart. The Sheriff states that the kids that hang out across the river are all vampires, but Hall is skeptical.
Hall decides to stay in town to investigate a murder mystery from years ago, but the town isn't all that eager to have anyone dig that up again. During his research, Hall fights on Skype with his wife, fights with the Sheriff, finds the long abandoned hotel reopened during a late night walk, meets a mysterious young girl in the woods, and has long walks and talks with Edgar Allen Poe. Oh and why does the town clock tower have seven faces, all with a different time?
The trailer for this one made me decide to watch it. While overall it was interesting, there were times that I wondered how long I'd been watching it, and when it would end. The biker gang is lead by Flamingo, who sounds like he should be wearing a feather boa in a musical. And Hall's talks with Poe tended to make me drift off.
Val Kilmer and the rest of the cast did a decent job and the cinematography was good. The weird thing about seeing Kilmer is that physically he's middle aged and very out of shape, but every once in awhile it occurs to me that this is the guy when he was young who was good looking enough to play rock god Jim Morrison.

Humans vs. Zombies (2011)
Back on campus, a student is being chased by a zombie, but it's all in fun because they're just playing the hip new game Humans vs. Zombies. Did you think it was a real zombie? No, it can't be because everyone knows there's no such thing as zombies - unless you ask campus security guard Frank, a conspiracy theorist that everyone thinks is a little light in the belfry. Soon Frank is proven to be not so far off when the zombie scourge spreads throughout campus.
Our main characters have a hard time grasping what's going on, which makes no sense considering one of them is into pop culture and currently reading the Zombie Survival Guide, another is a hard core gamer, and the beginning of the movie had multiple clips on the TV showing interviews and stories about a zombie virus. So how can no one be aware of this? I'm not sure if it was an oversight, the footage was added later as a way to pad the film, or it's just bad writing.
The characters decide to hole up in a hardware store with a glass front, which is a strange decision seeing as they didn't want to stay in the brick school building with steel doors, which turned out to be good because the zombies managed to get in. But what the heck? Why can't they get through the glass?
There's infighting, stupid decisions, an annoying Jack Black clone with flat ironed hair, and a gamer girl named Tommi who's personality is so unpleasant that you'll hope she dies as soon as possible.

Paranormal Asylum: The Revenge of Typhoid Mary (2013)
While Mark waits for Andy to pick him up, he does some filming and a teenage girl asks to be in his film. After turning to greet Andy, Mark turns back and she's disappeared. Spooky foreshadowing? Nope, she is never mentioned again.
Andy's fiance Michelle joins them as they head out to the asylum. (She became part of the team when she discovered he'd used their money to finance this project.) Although the outside of the building is boarded up and some windows are missing, the inside looks like a new facility with motorized beds, computer monitors, medical equipment, new wheelchairs, no dust or dirt anywhere, and a super clean snazzy locker room. Inexplicably the power is still active, which is lucky since if it wasn't their project would be done.
Mark and Andy decide where to put the cameras and Michelle wanders off and gets trapped in the locker room, her hair moving as if there is a wind. Isn't it scary? Well it might be until they show it from another angle and there's a huge floor model fan at the end of the locker room. Not so spooky now, is it.
With the cameras set up, they head to their home base, which is literally at their home. This begs the question, how could they leave all this equipment alone since the homeless, criminals, and urban explorers are bound to venture into abandoned buildings? Also it means they guessed what they were getting on camera since the monitors are at home.
What's super annoying in these movies is that there's always a scene where someone sees something, has a camera and never looks at what they shot. Early in the film, Mark sees a woman in the ruins while shooting photos or video (can't remember which). He asks Andy if he saw the old woman. Andy just laughs and dismisses it, which seems weird considering they're researching a haunted asylum. But Mark never looks at what's on his camera. Geez, if you think you saw her, look at what you shot.
So get ready to be annoyed by a seance, possession, Mark getting attacked during an interview, suicide, more interviews, and a payoff that isn't worth it.

Eyes Behind the Stars (1978)
Photographer Peter and model Karen go to the country to shoot some photos. During the shoot, they feel like they're being watched and the radio stops picking up stations. When Karen complains that she can only get static, Peter shows he doesn't understand how batteries work by saying, "You're wasting your time. The batteries dead. That's why it's making all that noise." Bravo, Peter, bravo indeed.
When Peter develops the photos later, he discovers there are aliens in the background. I couldn't see them, but that's what he said, so okay. Peter becomes obsessed with seeing the aliens again and soon he gets his wish by being abducted. Hurrah! It doesn't turn out so good and he ends up on a table where it's assumed the probing will commence.
Before being abducted, Peter gave his negatives to a friend, Tony, for safe keeping. Tony is a reporter and starts investigating after Peter disappears. The police don't cotton to this attention as they're trying to keep what's happening under wraps to avoid people freaking the hell out. Soon the police, aliens, bad guys, and everyone else in the film are trying to get those negatives.

It's slow paced, mostly talking, almost void of aliens, and not at all exciting in any way. The most enjoyable part is that they actually use the word Ufologist at one point in the film.

Night Wolf (2010)
Sarah arrives home at her family estate after spending six months in the US at a new job. Her three brothers and a couple friends are partying in the barn so she joins them after her father decides to go to bed.
In the midst of the partying, the power goes out and the group heads back to the house. As one goes to find some fuses, the others go upstairs and find there's been a murder and the massive killer animal is still in the house. But do we see the animal? No, we just see it's red wolf vision, which is almost all we see of said wolf.
Thus starts a night of trying to figure out how to stay alive and get out of the house. Also it's a night of annoying characters making incredibly stupid decisions, getting mad at each other, making too much noise when trying to hide, and death.
Also it forces me to ask the question, why are the werewolves bald when they turn from a wolf back into a human? Since when do werewolves lose their hair? And wouldn't that make it easy to figure out who was the wolf? Before wolf a luxurious head of hair, after wolf totally bald.
Watch for the very obvious bald cap that has blood smeared all around in the edge to try to make it look less conspicuous, except there's a big wrinkle behind the ear, so just forget it. It was obvious even without the wrinkle.

Lizzie (2013)
Lizzie keeps hearing noises in the house. At one point she hears a knocking and freaks out, repeatedly screaming, "Who is it?" It turns out to be the cable guy at the front door. Lizzie lets him in while in her underwear and never puts on any pants. Okay that's not normal.
The creepy cable guy leers at her as he works but she doesn't notice. Eventually he tells her she's sexy because she's stupid and appears to be on the verge of either sexually assaulting or murdering her. Lizzie proves his assertion to be correct when she isn't alarmed in the slightest at the potential threat in front of her. Oddly enough, nothing more ever comes of this.
Lizze spends a lot of her time screaming, "Who is it?" and the rest of her time drinking wine. Actually the two of those overlap as she's always got a bottle or glass with her, even going so far as to take a glass of wine into the shower with her.
There's a tiny door on the side of the house that Lizzie and a neighbor decide to break open. Unfortunately they both prove to be stupid when their idea of getting it opening is to smack it with an axe a couple of times. With tiny dents in the center of the door, they both work at prying it open. Hey, here's a tip for you. Next time you try to pry open a door, pull on the side that is opposite the hinges.
Lizzie and Jason start fighting a lot, and that isn't helped by Jasons prank - scaring her when she investigates a noise in the house. Idiot Jason steps out wearing a ski mask and carrying a hatchet with his hands covered in blood. No one shall ask how Jason managed to get a girl friend and be immature enough to think this is okay. Perhaps that's why he dates crazy girls.
When she asks her psychiatrist for stronger pills, he tells her she can't drink with this prescription (Pffft!). Soon the ghosts of Lizzie Borden and her murdered family members are acting out the tragedy in the house. Oh hell, no. Lizzie's ghost just looks like someone did their own Halloween makeup by rubbing black grease paint around her eyes. Gary Busey is her Mr. Borden and barely has any screen time.
As per most Lizzie Borden movies, Lizzie takes offense to the belief that she is a murderer and reacts by killing people. Geez Lizzie, think! And think before you watch this because it's may be good for a laugh or two, but that's about it.

Frostbitten (2006)
While standing at her locker, Saga is invited to a party by a strange goth-like girl named Vega. Saga's not sure if she wants to go, but eventually decides it would be a good way to get to know the other kids.
Meanwhile Saga's mom gets a tour of the hospital and meets Dr. Beckert who has a private patient that no one is allowed to treat or examine. Curious intern Sebastian goes into the patients room and pockets some strange pills on the table by her bed. When another intern jokingly tells Sebastian the pills will make him high, he swallows one - much to the other interns amazement since any potential doctor should know enough not to swallow mystery pills.
Unfortunately for Sebastian the pills turn out to be an experimental treatment used for vampires. Sebastian ends up in intense pain and with an overwhelming urge for blood. Hoping to get some relief, he breaks into Beckert's secret lab, finds a box of the strange pills, and steals them.
Later at Sebastians apartment, Vega steals the box of pills to bring the party after Sebastian tells her he forgot to get her the drugs she wanted. Well you just know this isn't going to go well since kids are willing to pop anything they think will get them high into their little stupid mouths. Yup, before you know it there are vampires and blood flying all over the place.
I enjoyed this one. It's a Swedish horror film so it has a different feel. The scenery is dark and snowy which makes it very atmospheric and reminds me of Let the Right One In. This movie isn't of that caliber but it's still fun to watch even though the biggest vampire is a bit silly looking sometimes.

Welcome to Blood City (1977)
Lewis wakes up in the middle of nowhere with people he doesn't know in a place that turns out to be a combination of West World and Planet of the Apes. No one can remember how they got their or where they came from, but each one finds a card in their pockets with a tally of the number of people they've killed. Since none of them think they've killers, they're confused.
The group start traveling hoping to find a town or some people. Unfortunately the first people they meet assault the lone female of the group and kill a man.
A sheriff, played by Jack Palance, finds them and brings them into a town which looks like the Old West. They're placed under his protection with the intention of selling them as slaves. If they do everything they're told in a year or so, they may be able to buy their freedom. What a great deal.
Lewis doesn't cotton to no slave stuff, breaks the rules of the town and gets in fights. There is a hierarchy, rules as to what people can do, and a control room watching the whole mess. The best thing about this movie is the title.

Search for the Beast (1997)
Stone gets a call from Milton, an old dude who read a newspaper article on the recent killings of two teens by the hairy beast (Bigfoot not Stone). Milton and Stone meet to talk about an expedition. Milton offers to give Stone $100,000 and pay for the expedition if Stone can find proof of Bigfoot. So..... Stone will have to foot the bill if he doesn't find anything? After random dialogue about what is required as proof and that Stone doesn't want Bigfoot hurt, they shake hands without agreeing on the terms.
What Stone doesn't know is that Milton wants Bigfoot dead . But Stone really should suspect something when Milton's men show up for the trip dressed in camouflage and armed with guns like an AK47 and machine gun. Yes, we're just trying to protect ourselves from the creature. Pffft!
This movie is ridiculous, but not in a good way. There is tons of padding, random heavy breathing, singing hillbillies, Dr. Stone as the love interest, a brief horrible stupid Bigfoot sex scene, and one of the silliest gorilla suits you'll ever see trying to pass for Bigfoot. Sometimes the film is amusing and other times it's just downright painful.
Ridiculous dialogue -
(which sounds super creepy, but is actually referencing young woman who Stone hires as a research assistant on the trip)
Dr. Stone: I never even had an assistant before, much less a beautiful young girl. I know the things I was going to show Wendy would either scare her off or make it impossible to get rid of her."

Jack the Reaper (2011)
On the bus ride, Shawn sits in the back and plays electric guitar. Not sure if no one remembered to bring an acoustic to the set that day, but it's strange.
Since one of the girls spied Railroad Jack on the way to the museum, it's just a matter of time until something horrible happens on the tracks. Surprisingly they don't come into play in the accident which leave the bus stranded in the desert.
When the kids wake up from the crash, the bus driver and teacher have disappeared. While thinking about whether to wait in the bus or try to find help, they spy a carnival in the distance. Most of the group sets out for the brightly lit midway, and are surprised to find it's totally empty.
Forgetting their plight - plus the kid or two left back in the dark with the wrecked bus - the teens decide to live it up. The rides are on and they've got the place all to themselves. Weeeee! But unknown to the them, there is evil at the carnival, tracking their every move and soon teens start dying.
There is an annoying voice over lady who doesn't fit in the context or tone of the film. The bus has the dirtiest windows I've ever seen, and when the reality of what's going on is discovered, it's been done before and much better.
Also our little albino boy wears sunglasses at night and his make up sometimes wears off around his neck. Did they add an albino character because they had a deaf girl in the film, or did they just need to get rid of a lot of clown white? Because there's no relevance to his being an albino.

Battledogs (2013)
A wild life photographer is bitten by a wolf while on assignment. On the trip home, she turns into a wolf while in a New York City airport bathroom. As she roams through the terminal biting and slashing people, they in turn become infected and morph into wolves. Soon the airport is overrun with carnage. So the military is called in to round up the wolves and quarantine them.
The people who morphed into wolves (aka the subjects) are herded into a large room and guarded by the armed guards. Doctors take samples from each person to try to determine the source person for the infection. Major Hoffman is concerned about the treatment of the subjects while other military officials are working on a project kept secret from the Major. This clash of purpose and different views of treatment lead to the military deciding the Major Hoffman is expendable, basically because he's too nice.
Eventually we discover that the military's goal is using wolves as fighting forces. It's a terrible idea unless they're going to fight unarmed civilians since the wolves have been killed with one shot or a knife to the throat. So basically they can just run faster and rip flesh with their claws. But a man with a gun could take them down before they could do any damage. Bah! Stupid battledogs!

Croczilla (2012)
While they decide how to chop Amao into edible pieces, the tranquilizers wear off and Amao goes crazy, resulting in at least one death and a daring escape. Well, actually he just muscles his way through a fence. And is it really safe for restaurant patrons to eat meat from a croc that was loaded with tranquilizers?
In another storyline soon to collide, a woman ends up stranded on the side of the road when her fiance jilts her. Soon she's being chased through a field by Amao who ends up eating her purse which contains tons of cash.
When the woman goes to the police, they don't believe her. Really, who would? The policeman, father of the annoying boy, ends up going to the scene to make a report and then puts her on the next bus out of town. This doesn't last as she crawls out the window and continues her pursuit of the money thieving croc. Eventually the story culminates in the woman, police and little boy all working together and trying not to get eaten by the croc.
Even though this may be billed as a horror movie, it has quite a bit of comedy - although it's not all that funny. The movie tends to be silly to the point that we wondered if perhaps it was aimed towards children. Sadly enough it does not live up to it's Croczilla name since the name implies much more carnage and an even larger croc.

Murder Rock (1984)
When a second dancer is murdered, the head of the school urges the police to do more to track down the murderer who is using a hat pin and chloroform to accomplish his murderous deeds.
Since she doesn't feel the police are working fast enough, she decides to work on the case herself. She starts having nightmares of a man trying to kill her and realizes it's a man from an advertisement. When she tracks him down and starts seeing him, she begins to fear he may be the killer.
This is an okay film, but it's fairly slow paced. It's not as bloody as Lucio Fulci's other films, but I'm fine with that. There are scenes right out of Flashdance, such as a dancing scene in a club with water pouring onto the dancer. I'm mostly glad I saw it because it has an awesome title and how could I help wondering what it was.
|I like the title font and subtitle
|Breakin' - it has nothing to do with our story
|Ladies and Gentlemen, your Solid Gold dancers
|Flashdance, what a feeling
|What the hell kind of outfit is that?
I didn't expect butt cleavage

Beast Beneath (2011)
Are you looking for a movie which ends with the homeless population dressed as pirates on a luxury pirate ship, dancing with scantily clad young women who are happy to be with them? Yeah, me neither, but somehow I ended up watching this thing.
Angelina finds a map in an old family music box and decides to see if her professor can translate it since it's written in a dialect that is no longer known. She and boyfriend Derek take it to their professor since they don't think anyone else would be able to translate it. He asks for a copy of the map, which they begrudgingly provide. Not the brightest idea since it's supposed to be a treasure map and the professor seems kind of shifty.
Later they find out one of their best friends also knows this little known dialect. Wow, what are the odds? Good thing he does since the professor says there's no way to translate it, which is weird since their friend has already done it. Hmmmm.
When Angelina and Derek go to Griffith Park with the map they meet homeless Pirate George who tells them that a ghost speaks to him and he can help them find the treasure. Surprisingly, this doesn't cause them to back away slowly and they agree to go off with him. Luckily for them, they end up in the Batcave, and not dead in a shallow ditch.
Shortly after they enter the cave, a park ranger shows up and kicks them out since they aren't supposed to be in the park after dark. But the ranger knows George since he lives in the park and just sends them on their merry way. Now the challenge for Angelina is to find the treasure before it's stolen by the evil professor. Oh and they all need to watch out for the beast that roams the caverns.
All this is wrapped together as a story a father is telling his son while on a camping trip in Griffith Park. As they sit around the campfire, the father provides the back story of the original land owner who is swindled out of his fortune on his death bed by his friend. The friend, lawyer, and judge who are working together to get the money are cursed by the land owners blind daughter. Legend says the treasure is waiting for an ancestor to find it. Thus we now have some context for our little Angelina and her music box. Blah.

Dinocroc (2004)
The croc knocks down a gate and is free to roam the public waterways. Animal control screams that they must close the beaches, but no one listens. Then the Dinocroc dines on the local population and people in power start to believe in the power of the croc. Croc hunter Dick Sydney is called in to take out the beast, but the prehistoric growing menace is not impressed.
No one shall ask why twelve year old Michael thinks the thing moving through the water is his dog. Wouldn't it make more sense to look for your dog on land? Or why his older brother appears to get over his grief the same day tragedy strikes.

Shackled (2010)
Brian's sister wakes up later that night, and realizes there is someone in Brian's room. It's same guy from the funeral, but for some reason her father (who saw him that afternoon) doesn't realize it or mention it to the police.
Brian's sister has dreams about a mansion. She's kind of freaked out because Brian's journal says he dreamed about mansion. Then a police grief counselor shows up to see if they're okay (do they really do that?) and asks about the mansion, which is a real problem since it's never mentioned to her. Oh yes, something is wrong.
This is one of those movies where you expect horror (since it's on a pack of films labeled as such) rather than a slow paced psychological movie. So it's disappointing as you've been mislead.
For some unknown reason all I could think of when watching this was a terrible line from some bad movie I saw which went something like, "He's dead.... murdered..... and someone's responsible."

Axe Giant: The Wrath of Paul Bunyan (2013)
The deputy in charge is a hard ass, the social worker with them is naive, and the idiot kids are really annoying. (If this is a punishment, then why do they have their cell phones?)
Crazy Joe Estevez chews the scenery while living in the woods nearby and spooks everyone by showing up out of nowhere. The deputy doesn't like him and shoos him away. But as usual you should always take the crazy guy into consideration when there are strange stories about the woods.
As the kids sit down to eat lunch and gripe about their plight, one guy decides he's leaving. While trying to find his way out of the woods, he finds a huge animal skull sitting in what turns out to be a burial site. He steals a horn from the skull, which is a mistake as big old weirdo Paul Bunyan decides to come back for revenge. Maybe if Bunyan had buried his ox under the ground he wouldn't have this problem.
Now what I was expecting was the typical manly bearded lumberjack of legend, but instead we get this shirtless mutant freak who is an ageless killer. Based on Dan Haggerty's role as Grizzly Adams in the 1970s TV show, I expected him to be Paul Bunyan. But that's pretty silly since he's around 70 years old now, and seems a bit fragile and appears to have a limp.
In the opening 1800s flashback storyline, watch for the seriously bad looking ox carcass they are roasting on a spit. It's either plaster or papermache and incredibly fake looking. There is also a very fake spray painted axe. Plus watch the entire camp eat from colored plastic plates! Yes, it certainly is the 1800s.
I was hoping for the best, but this is pretty painful to get through.

Solomon Kane (2009)
After finding refuge in a monastery and donating all his money to them, Kane changes his evil ways. But after a year, he is asked to leave. His journey takes him to the forest where he is approached by three thugs. Since he is now a man of peace, he refuses to fight. This proves to be unfortunate when they thump him on the back of the head.
When Kane awakens, he finds himself in the back of a wagon and being nursed to health by a Puritan family. He continues traveling with them as they discuss forgiveness and provide him with new clothes and a Pilgrim hat. Everything is going great which means that the only way Kane could possibly be spurred into action and go against his vow of non-violence (which is the only thing keeping him out of hell) is that this sweet, loving Puritan family must be nearing a horrible death.
Sure enough, evil Malachi's minions attack travelers in the woods, including Kane's companions. In his search for the surviving daughter, Kane is told she is dead which leads him into a drunken stupor that results in crucifixion. Yeah, I didn't expect it either. But just when you think he's done for, you realize only half the movie is over. Then Kane's inner berserker comes to the fore and he's off to commence with the slaughter, all while looking distractingly like Hugh Jackman. Hurrah!

Sweet Sixteen (1983)
The family has a big party for Melissa's sixteenth birthday, and the Sheriff's son decides he's interested in her. You'd think he'd be too afraid to get near her due to the other boys deaths. Also she's not the friendliest person until a personality change comes out of nowhere. I'd guess things aren't going to go as planned at the party.
Using powers of deduction, you won't be all that surprised at who the killer is, but you will be disappointed that entering an Indian burial ground to go parking results in nothing other than a scare. The film has Larry Storch as the bartender and Patrick MacNee as Melissa's father.
Ridiculous dialogue:
Johnny: Maybe you'd like to go for a ride.
Melissa: Maybe I would.
Johnny: I'm Johnny and this is my truck.

Infected (2013)
Some friends bring their kids to a cabin for a weekend hunting trip. Their kids are all college age, including the questionable casting of one female who appears to be in her early forties. If she was one of the fathers wives, you wouldn't blink twice, but college age? No.
When it's reported that a neighbors grandma isn't feeling well, the doctor says he'll take a look at her. It turns out saying she isn't feeling well is a bit of an understatement as she can't speak, is making weird noises, and looks deathly ill. I'd recommend getting her to the hospital, but either Doc's not very good at his job or he's too concerned about his hunting time because he prescribes bed rest, at which point Grandma bites him. Doc still isn't all that concerned and goes back to his fun weekend with the boys, not knowing that within twelve hours the woods will be full of the infected.
Watch as Michael Madsen mumbles his way through the film while William Forsythe's shock of white hair threatens to increase in size. None of the characters are that interesting or appealing, and it confusing as to why everyone brought their college age children. The film's logic is not consistent and tends to be frustrating.
Madsen has no problem waiting till morning to try to escape even though one of the woman is missing half her face and needs medical attention, but when he thinks his pregnant wife might be in danger, he decides it's safe enough to leave. Also they can't figure out why the guy with the gaping bite wound is attacking them.
Watch for the kids who stop mid coitus to suddenly run outside for no discernible reason. Later they tell their fathers they heard a scream. So... was that supposed to be dubbed in during post? Because there's no scream on the soundtrack. Also Madsen's mumbling is so low you need to keep turning up the sound. Every time you can hear him, he starts mumbling softer.
Also watch for the father who eats his own teenage daughter leaving nothing but a spine and pelvis (so he ate the other bones?)

Antiviral (2011)
Syd is a salesman at the clinic. He is also one of the technicians who copy protect the illnesses. This is to ensure the injections won't be infectious. By copyrighting whatever illness is injected into their clients, they guarantee that anyone who wants the illness has to go directly to them.
But there is also a black market for these celebrity viruses. Syd is involved in this sideline, managing to smuggle the viruses out of the clinic by injecting them himself. Not the best move, but Syd is kind of obsessed with one of their top celebrities, Hannah Geist.
After another salesman is arrested for selling viruses on the black market, Syd is assigned to extract blood from Hannah who is stricken with the flu. Since the clinic has an exclusive contract with Hannah, Syd injects it into himself as he can make big money on the black market. Unfortunately for Syd, he gets extremely ill(duh), blacks out, and then discovers that Hannah has died from the flu. Uh oh.
The movie is stark and disturbing. As if wanting to be injected with a celebrity illness isn't crazy enough, there are butcher shops where people can purchase cell steaks. These are disgusting looking pieces of meat(?) that are grown from celebrity cells, which essentially makes anyone who buys them a cannibal.
The clinic and Syd's apartment are a sterile, bright white with a little black here and there, and very harsh lighting. Syd himself has red hair and is very pale. As his illness progresses, he seems to get smaller and paler. The actor who plays Syd does a nice job with the character.
It's an interesting movie, but not something you want to watch if you're looking for action or a fast pace. Brandon Cronenberg (son of David) is behind this one.

Super Hybrid (2010)
Since the garage is closing for a few weeks, all the action takes place inside the garage which means a limited number of victims. The workers can't get out because all the doors are locked. So they need to figure out how to survive the morphing car, which can make it a bit confusing to locate.
I am all for killer car movies, but this didn't have much going on. It could have worked if they were able to build the tension as the film went on, but there is no tension and you don't really care about any of the characters.

Devon's Ghost: Legend of the Bloody Boy (2005)
The students overhear and bring up the legend of the Bloody Boy. Devon, aka the bloody boy, lived in the house across the street from the school. Devon's parents treated him badly and one night he disappeared. Later sightings of a bloody boy were reported, but no trace of Devon was ever found. His parents were charged with his murder, but a defense lawyer got them off. A year later both the parents were found murdered.
High schooler Symphony and her crappy friend Genesis decide to go to a party. When Symphony gets freaked out about Devon, Genesis tells Symphony she doesn't believe her story and to get over the death. Plus she can't imagine why Symphony is so upset about her father's disappearance since it's already been ten years. father was the parents defense lawyer.
Soon someone starts killing people and it appears to be an oversized teen wearing a baseball outfit and carrying a bat. Is it the legend come to life, or some other loser killing folks in town? Symphony's father was the defense lawyer for Devon's parents so that's another piece of the puzzle. And if Devon died as a little kid, then how could he come back as a hulking 18 year old?
The sound levels on this movie are all over the place. So you're constantly turning the volume up and down in order to hear what is going on. Also there is some Pseudo Blink 182 music on the soundtrack, including a song about suicide at the beginning of the movie.

Sand Serpents (2009)
The group consists of a few good soldiers and some super whiny guys who would never make it in the military. Guess who dies first? There is constant arguing as to the best way to escape. Once they determine the bad guys were eaten by giant worms, you'd think the team would defer to the highest rank or best qualified to save them all, but it's not a very good unit.
At one point a little girl stops their jeep from heading down the road because it is filled with mines. But when the worms arrives, the survivors run straight down the same road to a camp. Duhr.
It's your basic Syfy movie and you're better off watching Tremors since the basic premise of worms using vibrations to track people is the same.

The Wickeds (2005)
Meanwhile in the nearby cemetery, two grave robbers take an amulet off a white faced corpse who turns out to be a vampire and bites one of them. This causes zombie minions to pop out of the ground and give chase, as much as a shambling corpse can.
The robbers, one of which is Ron Jeremy, end up at the abandoned house with the kids. The menace outside causes panic and they all argue about what to do and how to escape. Unfortunately they're all idiots.
There is also a ghost in the house which doesn't do much, and no one is smart enough to figure out they can just get in their SUV and drive away - until after the guy with the keys disappears.

Blind Illusion's 1986 demo was the first to point in the direction that would culminate in 1988's 'The Sane Asylum'. Taking the progressive elements of their earlier material into a speedier forum, this Blind L (as they were nicknamed) is more chaotic and complex than earlier incarnations. Marc Biederman's vocals are more manic, and less melodic, than previous vocalist David Godfrey, which suits the music perfectly.
Although the music is typically raw around the edges, it's too bad 'The Sane Asylum' didn't have the more powerful drum sound found here. Other than that, this 1986 take on "Blood Shower" is not that different from the eventual album version. Same goes for "Smash The Crystal". Both songs lack the awesome psychedelic-laced chemistry of 'The Sane Asylum', but they're still impressive slices of prog-thrash. This demo is where Blind Illusion really came into their own. Too bad that their evolution ended after only one album, because it seems they were just getting started.
