Hugh Jackman faces samurai and snake women in latest footage
'Lego Batman,' 'Captain America' and more!
The Lego Batman set first introduced in 2006 has proved enormously popular, leading to a total of 17 DC-themed Lego playsets as well as two video games. It is the second video game, "Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes," that has provided most of the footage that comprises this new Blu-ray, which serves both as an entertaining comedic lark as well as a decent entry-level movie for children to check out.
Cutscenes from the game are edited together with newly filmed material (which replaces actual gameplay footage) to bring together Batman (voiced by Troy Baker) and Superman (Travis Willingham) as they battle the Joker (Christopher Corey Smith) and Lex Luthor (Clancy Brown). The latter is running for president and the former is doing everything he can to help, while simultaneously bringing down the Caped Crusader and the Man of Steel.
The story also features appearances from Robin (Charlie Schlatter), Riddler (Rob Paulsen), Penguin (Steven Blum), Catwoman (Katherine Von Till), most of the Justice League and plenty of other villains in a colorful, madcap adventure that offers up a constant stream of tongue-in-cheek references to the live-action DC films as well as excerpts from the iconic "Superman" and "Batman" movie scores by John Williams and Danny Elfman, respectively.
Also included are a featurette called "Building Batman," three bonus cartoons, an additional Lego short and, while supplies last, a Clark Kent/Superman Lego figure. Check out an exclusive clip below!
"Lego Batman: The Movie - DC Super Heroes Unite" is out Tuesday, May 21, as a Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD, On Demand and for Digital Download.
The film, directed by Albert Pyun, was produced by Menahem Golan, the Israeli filmmaker best known for a long string of action/adventure/sci-fi B-movies released through his Cannon Group. When Golan left Cannon, he took the rights to "Captain America" with him and ended up making the film through the low-rent 21st Century Film Corporation. Long before Marvel Studios was formed in the mid-2000s so that the comic book giant could control and produce its own movies, the company sold the film rights to many of its iconic characters to both major studios and fly-by-night production entities -- with the results being either no Marvel movies at all or really bad ones.
File "Captain America" under the latter. A bland, robotic Matt Salinger (son of J.D. -- yes, the "Catcher in the Rye" author) plays the title role yet never comes across the least bit heroic. He's not helped by the dumb design of his costume, which comes complete with little wings on the helmet and fake ears poking through the sides (admittedly, Cap's outfit is hard to do right, although the new Marvel films make it work well enough). Salinger is just wrong in the role.
But he's not helped by either the script, which starts out somewhat faithfully to the comics yet veers wildly off course and ends up being a bizarre pro-environment "message" film, or the production values, which look just south of your average 1970s TV movie. Pyun is no Joe Johnston, but he also has little to work with here. If you're making an epic superhero movie on the budget of an ABC Movie of the Week, you're going to face obstacles that even an A-list director might find insurmountable.
Because it's so badly and cheaply made, "Captain America" doesn't exactly pop off the screen on Blu-ray: The colors and cinematography tend to be either flat or murky. The audio, at least on our copy, is also terrible: We had to really crank the volume to hear dialogue, making explosions and gunfire even more jarringly loud. Having said all that, this is worth having, we suppose, if you're a Marvel completist, and certainly any time you want to complain or nitpick about the current crop of Marvel movies, you should take this out for a reminder of how things used to be.
"Captain America" is being released on Blu-ray by Shout Factory, whose Scream Factory subsidiary also has two new releases debuting this week on Blu-ray: "The Burning" and "The Town that Dreaded Sundown." The former is a 1981 slasher movie and early Miramax Films offering, produced by Harvey Weinstein, co-written by his brother Bob, and featuring the motion picture debuts of Jason Alexander ("Seinfeld") and Holly Hunter ("Saving Grace").
The film is about a vile summer camp caretaker named Cropsy (a spin on the old urban legend) who returns to the campground and starts a spree of slaughter there years after some other campers caused him to be severely burned in a prank gone wrong. Essentially a ripoff of "Friday the 13th," "The Burning" revels in lots of blood and gore (courtesy of makeup legend Tom Savini) while offering just enough suspense to keep things moving. But it's mainly all about the kills in this one, which has grown into a cult favorite over the years.
The Scream Factory collector's edition offers a decent restored print of a film that will always have that early '80s grungy look, while interviews with Savini, editor Jack Sholder (who later directed "The Hidden"), actress Leah Ayres and Cropsy himself, actor Lou David, form the bulk of the bonus features, along with commentaries from director Tony Maylam and stars Shelley Bruce and Bonnie Deroski (what, Alexander and Hunter didn't want to participate?).
The other Scream Factory release, "The Town That Dreaded Sundown," is a 1976 film from exploitation director-actor Charles B. Pierce that has not always been easy to see. Reportedly based on true events, the movie details a series of murders in and around the Texarkana area that were never solved. Ben Johnson ("The Wild Bunch") is the lawman attempting to find the killer, while Dawn Wells of "Gilligan's Island" fame appears as one of the victims.
The movie plays fast and loose with the actual events, which took place over a 10-week period in 1946, although it's true that the "Phantom Killer," as the perpetrator was dubbed, was never caught or identified. The story is told in the film through voice-over narration and the recreation of allegedly actual events, giving it a weird, half-"faux doc" feel that makes it sort of a predecessor to the "found-footage" horror films so popular during the last decade or so. Pierce's wide-screen compositions make it look like a more expensive picture than it actually is, but several sequences are effectively staged and the open-ended nature of the story is effectively unsettling (a remake from "Paranormal Activity" producer Jason Blum is in the works).
A commentary from historian Jim Presley and Justin Beahm leads the bonus features lineup, which also features video interviews with Wells and co-star Andrew Prine, a B-movie veteran. Best of all, a second DVD-only disc features Pierce's even more rare "The Evictors," a 1979 horror film about a young couple victimized in their new home by the previous owners. Jessica Harper ("Suspiria"), Michael Parks ("Django Unchained") and Vic Morrow ("Humanoids From the Deep") star.
Second 'Trek' film remains gold standard for series
Bennett in turn hired Nicholas Meyer to direct -- like Bennett, he had never watched "Star Trek," but had a keen sense of story and character. Several scripts for the film had already been written, and Meyer was the one who pulled together elements from all the various drafts and did a final (uncredited) rewrite in 12 days to get the screenplay into shape.
After watching all 79 segments of the original series, Bennett had picked Khan from the episode "Space Seed" as the villain for "Star Trek II," thinking that a strong enemy was what the first movie had lacked. Star Ricardo Montalban expressed some concerns about returning to the character, but ultimately agreed to do it. More troublesome was Leonard Nimoy, who was reluctant play Spock again -- unless he was promised that the Vulcan would be killed off in this movie. William Shatner, meanwhile, was concerned with playing Kirk in middle age -- even though that was a central cornerstone of the movie!
"Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" began filming in November 1981 and finished in early 1982, with the movie coming out June 4 of that year (they didn't take a year or more for post-production back in those days). It was a substantial hit, earning $97 million worldwide on a budget one-quarter ($11 million) that of "Star Trek: The Motion Picture."
The movie finds Kirk and Spock forced to take the Enterprise, crewed mostly with trainees, out on a secret emergency mission to find out what has happened to Space Station Regula 1. The scientific installation is where a project called Genesis is being developed -- under the supervision of Kirk's one-time lover Dr. Carol Marcus (Bibi Besch) and their son, David (Merritt Butrick) -- which can terraform lifeless planets and make them habitable ones. It can also do the reverse if deployed on a living planet and utterly destroy all the ecosystems there.
The ship assisting the lab in its research, the USS Reliant, has accidentally stumbled upon the planet where Kirk left Khan and his surviving band of genetically enhanced supermen to carve out their own society 15 years earlier. Driven mad with grief over the death of his wife (a Starfleet officer who had actually helped Khan take over the Enterprise in "Space Seed") due to the planet's inhospitable conditions, Khan hijacks the Reliant and goes on a mission of vengeance against Kirk -- a mission that ends with Spock sacrificing his own life to save the Enterprise.
By today's standards of ultra-fast editing, pacing and visual effects, "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" might seem slow and hokey-looking. But following its more cerebral predecessor, "The Wrath of Khan" seemed much closer in spirit, pace and tone to an episode of the original series, blending action and science fiction concepts with the great character interplay that had been a hallmark of "Star Trek" on TV. Compared to today's often dumbed-down blockbusters, which race without pausing for a second from action sequence to explosion and back again (a style that, sadly, dominates the new "Star Trek Into Darkness"), "Star Trek II" is refreshing, thoughtful and most important, soulful, while still working as rousing space opera.
The story is also poignant. Kirk, always the space cowboy, is haunted by thoughts of aging and death as he oversees the humdrum training of new Starfleet recruits. By reuniting with his estranged son -- who doesn't know initially that Kirk is his father -- and also confronting Khan, the captain of the Enterprise must come to terms with unfinished business from his past while also acknowledging the uncertain future ahead. Kirk's longstanding ability to seemingly cheat death also blows up in his face when Spock dies saving the ship -- an act that serves to renew Kirk himself and provide him with a kind of spiritual rebirth.Shatner delivers perhaps his best performance as Kirk in the movie, troubled and exhausted yet still capable of thinking on his feet and taking command of any situation. Nimoy, too, is excellent, cool and stoic to the end as Spock and courageous in the face of his own demise. Montalban chews the scenery and swallows it whole as Khan (as opposed to his more seductive performance in "Space Seed"), but does provide the kind of grand, operatic antagonist that the franchise needed at that point to work on the big screen.
Why does ""Star Trek II" succeed while "Star Trek Into Darkness" fails? "Star Trek II" has a well-constructed and tightly knit story that breathes and has room for both thought and character development, while also building on relationships that have endured for more than 15 years at the time of the film's release. The new film, taking place early in the careers of the Enterprise crew, tries to jam many of those same elements into a story where the characters are not that far along in either their life experience or relationships with one another, and not given the screen time to develop that.
"Star Trek II" doesn't hold back very long before introducing Khan as the villain, and there's certainly no silly mystery surrounding his identity as there is in the latest film -- a "mystery" that will be meaningless to all but older "Trek" fans and doesn't serve to advance that story in any way. The game of cat and mouse between Khan and Kirk is clearly laid out and suspenseful without resorting to mayhem and reversals and fisticuffs every few minutes -- in fact, Kirk and Khan never meet in person in "Star Trek II," which serves to frustrate both men.
Spock's death in "Star Trek II" is a truly moving moment, even if you're not a die-hard "Trek" fan who has been following the characters for years. The staging of the same sequence in "Star Trek Into Darkness" -- reversed so that it is Kirk who dies and not Spock -- not only lacks the gravity of the original, but is completely undercut by bringing Kirk back to life literally minutes later. Yes, Spock didn't stay dead either -- but we had to wait two years and the entire length of the next film, "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock," until he was restored to close to his former self.
There are many other points on which "Star Trek II" trumps "Star Trek Into Darkness," but as we said earlier, we're also quite certain that there are many modern moviegoers who won't be able to find their way into a movie that's now 31 years old. Yet if they could, they might find it a rich experience, a terrific sci-fi film and still perhaps the best "Trek" movie yet. We're sure it will endure long after the new "Trek" envisioned by J.J. Abrams and crew is sitting in Blu-ray bins, forgettable and forgotten.
Why J.J. Abrams' movie is 'Star Trek' in name only
Related: Who's who in 'Star Trek Into Darkness'
"Star Trek Into Darkness" generates no such good will, because its flaws ultimately overwhelm the good things about the movie. It's still exciting, funny, sometimes even dazzling -- but so are fireworks displays. The emotional and intellectual core of "Star Trek Into Darkness" is hollow -- and underneath that is an attitude of condescension and superiority on the part of the filmmakers that makes the film, in the end, an insult to "Trek" fans. Here's why:
The chemistry between the new cast members was a huge factor in the 2009 "Star Trek." Everyone clicked to a surprising degree, and the performances, like the movie itself, were respectful of the originals without turning into slavish impersonations. This time around, everyone is mostly still charming -- but nagging seeds planted in the first movie have grown into larger weeds that threaten to choke off real character development and also take these iconic roles much farther away from their original interpretations than is necessary or smart.
Kirk is actively annoying in this film. He is now a starship captain, yet he seems to have almost no respect for the weight of that position. To be fair, he's young. Most of his success comes from pure blind luck and bravado. But -- to give him some benefit of the doubt -- Kirk barely has time for any significant character exploration. He loses his command, then gets it back a few minutes later. He makes a massive sacrifice near the end of the film only for that action to be canceled out and rendered pointless (more on that below). Kirk is pretty much the same guy at the end of the movie as he was at the beginning. I found myself not caring about him at all.
While Zachary Quinto is excellent as Spock, I found his character beginning to drift the most from its moorings in "Trek" mythology. Spock is a Vulcan: half-human, yes, but it's been long established that he has mastered his emotions before even setting foot in Starfleet Academy. Yet here he is crying and screaming and raging, while also participating in an underdeveloped romance with Lt. Uhura (Zoe Saldana). Sorry, but that romance felt wrong in the 2009 movie and feels really wrong here, especially when the couple start bickering in the middle of a risky and crucially important mission. The romantic angle is demeaning to Uhura, too: It reduces her to simply being Spock's girlfriend this time out.
Putting Uhura at Spock's side also wrecks the original trinity of Kirk, Spock and Dr. McCoy (Karl Urban), which is a shame on two counts. First, it removes the classic balance of logic and emotion embodied by Spock and McCoy, respectively, that always provided Kirk with two sides to every command decision. Second, it reduces Urban -- who is once again terrific and manages to channel the late, great DeForest Kelley in an eerily magical way -- to little more than a one-liner machine. He also does some really dumb science later on as well -- very un-Bones-like.
As for the rest of the command crew, Simon Pegg is better this time as Scotty and gets more to do, but the two characters who get the really short end of the phaser are Chekov (Anton Yelchin) and Sulu (John Cho). The helmsman has one outstanding scene when he's temporarily in command of the Enterprise and we see that steely resolve that will one day get him his own ship. Chekov gets to play chief engineer for a while but tends to get lost in the shuffle.
Did I like anything about "Star Trek Into Darkness"? Sure. The opening Nibiru sequence had a great sense of adventure (even if we still don't understand why the Enterprise was submerged underwater -- how is that supposed to hide the ship from the native species when a gigantic vessel rising out of the ocean would be pretty damn noticeable?). I felt a thrill of excitement during the action set pieces and thought the special effects and 3-D conversion were sharply executed. Michael Giacchino's stirring score did a lot to create emotion when there was none on the screen. The humor and generally light tone remained invigorating.
But all that doesn't stop "Star Trek Into Darkness" from being fatally flawed, thanks to a lazy, terrible script and a misconceived bad guy. We'll start with him first: Benedict Cumberbatch is one of the best actors around right now, as his work on the BBC's "Sherlock" and films like "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" proves. But his much-hyped performance is underwhelming, mainly because he's either standing there spitting out exposition or just punching people. His role is underwritten and misunderstood by the screenwriters, and there's not much to it beyond the solemn intonations and glares you've seen in the trailers -- despite all the marketing focusing on him.
Yes, the rumors were true: Cumberbatch is playing genetically engineered superman Khan Noonien Singh, first introduced in the original series episode "Space Seed" and revisited in the 1982 film "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," essayed unforgettably in both by Ricardo Montalban. We discover his true identity halfway through the film, before which he's known as John Harrison. But having Khan in this movie is a stupid and pointless choice by screenwriters Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof. Giving this pale British guy the same name as the original Indian tyrant, while dispensing in five minutes with most of the history that made Khan so significant, just diminishes the character for hard-core Trekkers and will mean absolutely nothing to casual viewers. It fails miserably as good storytelling and fan service.
To make matters worse, Orci, Kurtzman and Lindelof re-enact the famous "Star Trek II" scene in which Spock sacrifices his life to save the Enterprise -- only this time it's Kirk dying inside the radiation chamber while Spock sits outside the glass door. But Kirk is only dead for about 10 minutes before McCoy figures out that he can use Khan's superhuman blood to bring him back to life (a development heavily foreshadowed earlier in the movie). So Kirk's sacrifice means nothing because he comes back to life almost before the echoes of Spock's contrived "KHAAAAANNNN!" scream (which is out of context and out of character) have barely faded. There's no investment in the relationship, whereas when Spock died in "Star Trek II," you felt the weight of 16-plus years of friendship. This new Kirk and Spock barely know each other a year in the rebooted timeline.
All the problems here point back to the script, a supremely terrible piece of writing. But why would anyone expect greatness from a team whose combined credits include the "Transformers" movies, "Cowboys & Aliens" and "Prometheus"? Aside from the careless rehashing of "Star Trek II" -- along with plot points from "Star Trek III," "Star Trek VI" and even "Star Trek: Nemesis" -- there are huge story holes that sit there waiting to be discovered like the giant new warship that Adm. Marcus (Peter Weller) has parked behind Jupiter (one of the plot holes itself, by the way).
For instance, if Khan's blood can bring people back to life, does that mean death has been cured? Why go on an extended climactic chase after Khan for said blood when there are 72 of his superman crewmates sitting frozen on the Enterprise just a few hundred feet away from where Kirk's body is going stiff? Why play for a little while with the idea of Kirk and Khan teaming up to fight the head of Starfleet and second villain, Adm. Marcus (Peter Weller) -- an interesting twist that might have somewhat salvaged the Khan gambit -- only to turn him back into a generic bad guy for a contrived, incoherent third act?
The admiral's motivation for waking Khan up to help build new weapons -- an irresponsible act to begin with -- remains muddled. Does he want to start a war with the Klingons? Does he want to militarize Starfleet? Not that the militarization of Starfleet isn't a viable topic -- it has been touched on throughout "Trek" history. But so soon in this timeline? Both of Abrams' "Star Trek" movies are revenge thrillers. What happened to seeking out new life and new civilizations? The original "Star Trek" was not without many outright bad episodes/movies, but still managed at its best to create suspense, danger and excitement without setting up Joker-like villains, and while still carrying a sense of wonder about the universe. That's gone now.
While J.J. Abrams does a terrific technical job directing "Star Trek Into Darkness," he appears to have thought that he needed to destroy "Star Trek" in order to save it. With the emphasis on mindless action, characters who barely stop to die let alone think, and hopelessly convoluted story "twists," the movie out in theaters now works as disposable summer entertainment in a sci-fi setting. But is it "Star Trek"? As Spock himself would say, "Negative."
Photocalls, red carpet interviews and an epic beach soiree
Bing: More about 'Catching Fire' | More about Cannes Film Festival
Liam Hemsworth, Jennifer Lawrence, Sam Claflin and director Francis Lawrence—who didn't let the rain get them down—were all smiles at the official photo call.
Later that evening they were at the red carpet event, looking sharply coordinated in their black and white attire.
Listen to Lawrence and Claflin give some insight on "Catching Fire," and see the Majestic Barrière hotel looking fiery: The big "Catching Fire" event was the exclusive beach party, with white rose-themed invitations and Capitol-inspired looks on some of the guests. My invite must have gotten lost in the mail.Lawrence and Hemsworth almost became the girl and the boy on fire when a plate of candles perched on an 8-foot tall column fell on the two co-stars as they sat on a sofa in the party's VIP section. Fortunately, no one was hurt, and the two actors were able to laugh about the incident.
This video features Francis Lawrence assuring fans on his adaptation of "Catching Fire," plus plenty of behind-the-scenes prep scenes for the beach bash.

'Kevin Keller' issue 10 to be released in August
The August issue of "Archie" features its only openly gay character Kevin Keller kissing his boyfriend, Devon in Pop Tate's diner and one Riverdale mom disapproves.
She "gets very offended and kind of pitches a bit of a fit," Dan Parent, who writes and draws the issue, "Kevin Keller" No. 10, tells the Associated Press.
"Kevin is kind of used to that, but Veronica records the whole thing and of course uploads it to the Riverdale equivalent of YouTube and that starts a bit of a debate," said Parent.
Parent wrote the storyline after One Million Moms and the American Family Association asked Toys R Us to not display a comic showing Keller getting married. The toy store chain didn't and the issue no. 16 went on to sell out.
Issue no. 10 is supposed to be what Parent calls a "playful poke" at the protest.

Emotional Crennel leads Chiefs to win over Panthers
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Romeo Crennel stood in the middle of the Kansas City Chiefs' locker room Sunday, the emotion threatening to overcome the good-natured coach.
Chiefs owner Clark Hunt was at his side, offering support. Members of the team hugged each other, the mud smearing with tears on their cheeks. And over along the wall stood the empty locker that once belonged to Jovan Belcher, his jersey still hanging from a hook.
Just one day after the linebacker killed his girlfriend and then turned the gun on himself, the Chiefs banded together to play their finest game of the season, an inspired 27-21 victory over the Carolina Panthers that ended an eight-game losing streak suddenly rendered trivial.
"As far as playing the game, I thought that was the best for us to do, because that's what we do," Crennel said, tears forming in the corners of his eyes. "We're football players and football coaches and that's what we do. We play on Sunday."
According to authorities, Belcher shot his girlfriend multiple times early Saturday at a residence near Arrowhead Stadium, then sped to the team's practice facility and turn the gun on himself as Crennel and General Manager Scott Pioli watched in the parking lot.
Pioli walked through the press box before the game and said he was doing "OK."
"It's been an incredibly difficult 24 hours for our family and our entire organization," Hunt said. "We have so many guys on our team and our coaching staff who are really, really hurting."
Chiefs players gathered in the tunnel leading to the field for a brief prayer before their pregame stretching. A few fans in the half-empty stadium held up signs referencing the shootings, and there was a moment of silence to remember all victims of domestic violence.
Kansas City police have not released a motive for the shootings, which claimed the life of Belcher and 22-year-old Kasandra M. Perkins, and left a 3-month-old girl, Zoey, an orphan.
"I'm just trying to get through the rest of today," said the Chiefs' Brady Quinn, who threw his first two touchdown passes in three years. "The emotions of what has taken place will probably hit home for a few guys the next few days, when they realize what's taken place." Continued...
Cam Newton threw for 232 yards and three touchdowns for the Panthers (3-9), who were informed the game would be played as scheduled while they were heading to Kansas City on Saturday.
DeAngelo Williams added 67 yards rushing, carrying the load with Jonathan Stewart out with an injury. Steve Smith, Greg Olsen and Louis Murphy caught Carolina's TD passes.
"You definitely feel for them. What they are going through is tragic," Olsen said. "But we have a job to do. Our job is to come here and prepare to win. They wouldn't expect any less."
Peyton Hillis had a touchdown run for Kansas City (2-10), while Tony Moeaki and Jon Baldwin had touchdown catches. Ryan Succop hit a pair of field goals, including a 52-yarder with 4:54 left that forced the Panthers try for a touchdown to steal the win.
Instead, they went three-and-out, and the Chiefs were able to run the clock down to 31 seconds before giving back the ball. Newton completed two quick passes to reach the Carolina 38, but his final heave as time expired was caught by Smith short of the end zone.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera greeted Crennel at midfield and gave him a hug.
"They played an inspired football game," Rivera said. "They did some really good things, and we have to give them credit, because they suffered through a very difficult time."
The emotions were raw even after the kickoff.
Kansas City took the openingrch the final 7:25. Hillis was stuffed at the line on third-and-goal, and Crennel allowed the clock to hit 2 seconds before calling timeout. On the final play of the half, Quinn saw Moeaki open in the back of the end zone and delivered a soft toss for a 17-14 lead.
Breathing room came late in the third quarter when the Chiefs used 17 plays to go 87 yards on a drive that lasted another 10 minutes. Quinn finished it with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Baldwin. Continued...
Carolina mounted a comeback with the opening drive of the fourth quarter, with Newton hitting Murphy on a quick slant route from the 8 to get the Panthers within a field goal. But the Chiefs added their own field goal, and then burned enough of the clock to ensure the victory.
One that allowed the Chiefs to celebrate in the midst of their mourning.
"There were pockets in the game where reality hits you again, and that's sobering," said Chiefs linebacker Andy Studebaker. "I've been telling people, Jovan was like a brother to us. His family was family to us. Our hearts go out to them, man, and the game maybe took our heads off it for a while. It brought us closer as a team today, I think. But it's never going to be easy."
Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers (hamstring), S Abe Elam (left leg) and LB Derrick Johnson (left hamstring) left the game with injuries. Carolina lost LB James Anderson (eye), Murphy (foot) and S Sherrod Martin (right knee) during the game. ... Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe caught four passes to move into third place in franchise history with 413 catches. ... Carolina has attempted 11 FGs this season.

Reconnect with the Corps
Established during 1991, as the Marine Corps Coordinating Council of Louisville, Inc., with the limited mission of providing support of Marine Corps recruiting efforts through publicity and appropriate incentive programs, a need was subsequently identified during 2007 to restructure, so as to expand the outreach while promoting a fully integrated and unified presence of the Marine Corps throughout Kentucky. Serving as a non-intrusive catalyst for the coordination of various activities related to Marine Corps active duty, reserve and veteran entities throughout Kentucky, the restructured Marine Corps Coordinating Council of Kentucky, Inc. (MCCCK) has endeavored to provide administrative, logistical and financial support when requested and appropriate.
To this end, the MCCCK has been incorporated as a tax exempt (
Comprised primarily of Marine Corps veterans, who have enjoyed success in their professional lives and believe that the foundation for such was built during their years in the Corps, the MCCCK offers an opportunity to reconnect with those of similar experience, who want to share with others what the Corps has given to them.
We hope that you will take time to explore this site and learn more about our mission. If you believe as we do, that the Marine Corps has played a significant role in the personal and professional success you have enjoyed in life and would like to participate in this regionalized national group effort to sustain and enhance the traditions and excellence of our beloved Corps, we invite you to consider making an enduring commitment in support of our mission. It is truly a testament to the spirit and patriotism of Kentuckians that an organization such as ours, dedicated to the perpetuation and support of the United States Marine Corps and its various elements among us, continue to thrive and grow as we face new and emerging threats to our national security and the freedom of our citizens.

Idol Edge: American Idol is Finally Back
By: Brad Reed
Updated: January 17, 2013
But getting to this point didn't come without controversy.
New judges Mariah Carry Nicki Minaj pumped new life into the talent competition in September when they arrived in New York and promptly got into a fight. Keith Urban says the judges are just passionate.
"Definately the passion level is there and the love we have for the artists," says Urban.
Nikki and Mariah are now focusing away from the fued, and turning their attention to the contestants.
"I've learned how to say 'you know what, I think this is for you at home with your friends. I don't think this is a career choice for you.' And that's hard to say," says Carry.
"I just want to diversify the contestants," says Minaj. "I want to make sure that we are not passing people by because they're different because sometimes those different people are the people that change a generation."
In former Idol news season 10 winner Scotty McCreery is ready to send fans some new tunes.
"We're getting ready for it," says McCreery. "I was just talking to my manager and we are getting the songs compiled in one spot so i can keep listening to them and picking the ones I like."
Look out for more music from Scotty on the radio in the months ahead.

Small Mountain Towns
Central Mountains: Breathtaking Beauty
You don't have to look far to discover what has drawn artists, writers and nature lovers to this region for decades. The beauty of North Carolina's central mountain region is breathtaking. From Mount Mitchell, (elevation 6,684 feet) the highest point east of the Mississippi River, to Linville Caverns deep in the base of Humpback Mountain, to the beach at Lake Lure, film location site for the movie Dirty Dancing, there is much here to capture your imagination.
The Blue Ridge Parkway meanders through the heart of the region along the crests of the mountains, brushing the city of Asheville and allowing visitor access to places like Black Mountain, Chimney Rock Park, the Cradle of Forestry Natural History Area, Sliding Rock and Looking Glass Rock Scenic Area. Hiking trails with roaring waterfalls and quiet forest glades can be found in state parks or just off the highway, wherever you spot a trail marker. The area is also great for winter skiing and snowboarding with a number of ski resorts offering top-notch accommodations and dining.
A great place to make your "base camp" is Asheville, but there's nothing rough about this campsite. Urbane and artsy, Asheville's upscale downtown is filled with gourmet and organic restaurants, wine bars, galleries, lots of antiques shops, romantic bed and breakfast inns and luxurious spas to pamper you. The popular Pack Place Education, Arts and Science Center houses the Asheville Art Museum and the Colburn Earth Science Museum and the Diana Wortham Theatre, offering live performances of music, theatre and dance by nationally touring artists and local and regional professionals. Not far from downtown is Biltmore Village, its quaint cottages filled with unique shops and restaurants. The village sits at the entrance to the Biltmore, American's largest home and a self-sustaining working estate that also houses the country's most visited winery.
Other Asheville area attractions include the North Carolina Arboretum with its extensive bonsai collection, the Western North Carolina Nature Center, a living museum of plants and animals native to the Appalachian region, the Southern Highlands Craft Guild's Folk Art Center, featuring traditional and contemporary crafts of the Southern Appalachians, and the Thomas Wolfe Memorial state historic site honoring one of North Carolina's most famous writers and the author of Look Homeward Angel.
After visiting Wolfe's home, travel south of Asheville to the state's apple capital, Hendersonville, and look in Oakdale Cemetery to find Wolfe's angel, then explore Hendersonville's historic downtown for quaint shops and restaurants and plenty of apple cider. Nearby Flat Rock is home to the Flat Rock Playhouse, the state theater of North Carolina and Connemara and poet Carl Sandburg's home. The towns of Saluda and Tryon offer a glimpse into the history and heritage of the area while Brevard brings you to Transylvania County's land of waterfalls and the wilds of the Pisgah National Forest.
From the urban scene to fabulous scenery, North Carolina's central mountains offer a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities that are sure to capture your imagination and perhaps even the artist in you. The only problem is deciding where to begin.

Behold the Metamorphosis of the Published Word…
Food Wars
Cooking was a major affair in our household. Sometimes the cause of disagreement among family members and house helps, the coal pot, aka the kitchen stove, was essential to this process. Because it required charcoal it was always lit in the courtyard to prevent the first puffs of smoke from choking everyone in the house. We would ball up old newspapers in the lower part of the stove and light these with a match, then fan the flames to allow the kerosene-soaked coals on the upper bowl to ignite. Once the coals caught fire and the smoke evened out, the stove was returned to the kitchen. Under heavy cooking, new charcoal had to be added often because the original chunks would turn to ashes. It didn't bode well for whoever was on kitchen duty when this occurred. Once, Aunty Mercy took coals from one coal pot to begin a new fire and ended up losing the starter. Grandmother was furious.
Aunty Mercy was the oldest of all the house-helps we ever had; she came to us after she had spent her life savings bailing out her only child who had been jailed for murder. She walked with a hobble because she had been the victim of a number of bicycle accidents. During a particularly bad Hamattan season, she was struck by lightening, adding a twitch to that hobble, yet she was full of life and had many stories to tell. She was warm and cuddly and my sister and I loved her. She was the antithesis of all Grandmother was.
"'Familiarity breeds contempt!'" Grandmother would exclaim dramatically whenever we would interact too closely with Aunty Mercy. More contact with the house-helps outside of duties blurred the boundaries she worked so hard to keep. Grandmother's main prejudice centered on sharing food, eating Aunty Mercy's food, was forbidden. Aunty Mercy would occasionally cook her own tribal delicacies. We joined her once and almost got caught.
The kitchen was warm and slightly cramped. Aunty Mercy squatted in her usual lopsided position in the middle of the kitchen floor tending to her meal. I scooted around, trying not to knock her over. The freshly prepared nkontombire froyi with koobi and ampesi made my mouth water even though I just had dinner. Something about the green leafy spinach leaves bubbling in the reddish liquid makes it more appealing. Salted tilapia was soaking in a bowl next to plantains from our backyard garden.
"We'll join you, but Grandmother will be mad if she catches us." I replied enthusiastically.
Sheela rolled her eyes and translated my response. "You know she doesn't speak any English." Aunty Mercy beckoned us closer to the stove. I saw the coal pot with coals almost turned to ashes. The fire was almost out.
"Looks like she forgot to add new coal," Sheela commented.
Aunty Mercy pulled up two kitchen stools for Sheela and me, pausing to wipe both with a kitchen towel lest we ruin our clothes.
I stared into the pot. It smells great.
"What's in it?"
"kontombire ahataw, anyiew ne tometo ne galic."
Ok. But what's that other smell? "What makes the sauce so red?"
"Oye ngo na."
"This tastes different." Sheela said. I turned expecting a frown on her face, surprised by a smile.
"Let me taste!" I squeezed my way in between them.
"sssh ma anti aba kyi hon!" Aunty Mercy cautioned.
I grin. Grandmother would be furious if she knew what we were doing.
"Why don't you use this in our meals?" I asked.
Floorboards from the third bedroom creaked slightly. We heard Grandmother's footsteps.
"Grandmother says Sheela is allergic to palm oil." I looked over in panic at Sheela who seemed to be enjoying her pieces of plantain and nkomtombire. Was she really allergic or was Grandmother lying?
More erratic footsteps interrupted my panic. Aunty Mercy motioned for us to be silent. She quickly grabbed our half empty bowls and explained:
"Nso nnyi egroya ntsi wa ba egyadze ha befee bi."
"Huh? There was no water in the bathroom?" Surely Grandmother wouldn't buy that one!
Her voice preceded her.
"Sheela! Kuukua! Where are you two? You better not be in the kitchen! Go brush your teeth and get ready for bed!"
A bend in the hallway separated us.
"We are getting water!"
We dart across the hall, pick up our toothbrushes, and begin to brush our teeth. Close call! Who would have thought that Aunty Mercy had learned to count with Grandmother's footsteps?
The Oakland Word Publication
The Coal Pot
The kitchen stove, which we call the coal pot, was of the utmost importance in my house. We used it at least twice a day. It was often the center of the day's activities and sometimes the cause of disagreement among family members and house helps. It only used coal and had to be lit in the courtyard to prevent the first puffs of smoke from choking everyone in the house. We would have to ball up old newspapers in the lower part of the stove and light these with a match, then fan the flames from the lower part to allow the coals on the upper bowl to ignite. Once the coals caught fire and the smoke evened out, we would return the stove to the main kitchen. This chore was almost always handled by the resident cook. When we children handled the stove, it was under careful watch of whichever house-help we had at the time. Every meal I had as a child was prepared or heated on this stove. Most of my classmates' families had long switched to electric or gas stove imported from abroad, but Grandmother refused to cave in to modernity. Besides, the coal pot needed to be monitored more closely than an electric or gas stove because it did not have an internal regulator. This was perfect for her because it meant we didn't ever leave the kitchen (or her sight) for too long. It was not until well into my teens when she finally consented and got first, a kerosene stove, and then an electric two-burner hot plate.
Cooking was a major affair in our household. We usually cooked massive amounts of food to store for several days. Although we didn't have a large household, my Grandmother was quite busy as school principle during the week days, and church leader on the weekends, and preferred not to spend a lot of time supervising the cooking each day. The stove needed to be replenished every so often because the original chunks of coal would eventually turn to ashes under such heavy cooking. New coal had to be added before the entire spread of coal turned to ash otherwise we would have to begin the whole process of lighting the stove anew. As I recall, this happened a couple times. It didn't bode well for whoever was on kitchen duty when this occurred. I recall an occasion when one particular house-help was working. Aunty Mercy. She took coals out to begin a new fire for another coal pot and ended up losing the original one on which the main family meal was being prepared. Grandmother had a few choice words for her, but Aunty Mercy quite immune to Grandmother's harsh words, just nodded and begun the whole process over.
Aunty Mercy was the oldest of all the house-helps we ever had. She came to stay for a few years, earlier on in my life, and then left for a while because of a disagreement with the matriarch of the family, Grandmother. She returned when I was much older and stayed for a long while again. Aunty Mercy was from Asinmansu and had had her share of life's challenges. Her son had been jailed for theft and she had spent her life savings bailing him out only to have him flee the country. She had been hit by a bicycle a few times so she hobbled along almost precariously as if at any moment she would topple over. She had been hit by lightening and this had given her a twitch in addition to the hobble. Despite all these, she was full of life and had many stories to share. She was also warm and cuddly; she was quite the character and my sister and I loved her. She was the antithesis of all Grandmother was. As I came to later learn, Grandmother, who was of Scottish and English heritage, could not bring herself to break the tradition of the "stoic" English women who had gone before her. We interacted with her peripherally while doing homework, taking tea, or when being chastised or punished. I recall spending a great deal of my time with Aunty Mercy or whoever the house-help at the time was; we changed them so often, I have quite a few in my memory.
Grandmother, as a three quarter mulatto, was extremely prejudiced that it took a thick-skinned person to live with her and take the constant barrage of derogatory comments. My first experience of extreme prejudice came when she punished my sister and me for eating Aunty Mercy's food, which was not to be mistaken for food prepared by Aunty Mercy. This was ironic because she prepared all our meals. Since Grandmother set our menu each week, Aunty Mercy would occasionally cook her own tribal delicacies. My sister and I being the curious kids we were were always ready to try something different. On this one occasion, Aunty Mercy served us dinner and then left to clean up, and eat her own dinner because she ate her meals apart from the family. Sheela and I went looking for her later and found her cleaning up the main coal pot, and tending to her saucepan of freshly prepared koobi stew and ampesi, a local delicacy of salted tilapia stew with boiled green plantains and yams. She invited us but warned us about the wrath of my grandmother; she agreed to be on the lookout for her. Unfortunately, that night, luck was not on our side and Grandmother did find us eating Aunty Mercy's food. Grandmother stood guard over the point where her race discriminations met our childish curiosity and being the adult, she always won. We were sent to brush our teeth and given a good talking to about the results of mingling with servants, and what Grandmother termed "familiarity breeds contempt." For her, the more interaction we had with the house-helps outside of duties, the more they felt closer to us, blurring the boundaries she worked so had to keep. Although Aunty Mercy did not care for being in trouble with Grandmother, she also felt it her calling to prepare us for the real world where we did not have this bubble of protection that Grandmother's skin privilege afforded us.

The Aviva Premiership finalists, who face Leicester in Saturday's showpiece at Twickenham, came under fire after their 12-10 play-off victory against Gloucester nine days ago.
Bryan Redpath, the Cherry and Whites' head coach, accused them of playing "risk-free" rugby, while centre Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu was far more scathing.
Fuimaono-Sapolu used his Twitter account to brand them "Horribly boring but very clinical", adding "No wonder my Super15 friends are making jokes about northern hemisphere rugby. Boring rugby wins."
Saracens' workmanlike approach is certainly not to everyone's taste, but for Strettle a run of 11 successive Premiership wins - 12 in all competitions - tells its only story.
"We're a team that can change our gameplan to what is needed at the time," said the England winger.
"Sometimes that's kicking away possession and putting pressure on the opposition; at other times it's a case of playing phase-play.
"I wouldn't call it risk-free or boring rugby - it's smart rugby. You play the percentages - that's what you do in sport.
"Ultimately, it's been very successful - we're in the Premiership final.
"We want to entertain the crowds but at the same time we're professional sportsmen.
"We get paid to win rugby games, so that's what we go out to do.
"We are very good at doing what the game dictates. I couldn't think of anything more stupid than throwing the ball around against Gloucester - they're one of the best teams in the Premiership at playing like that.
"If you start playing sevens against teams like them Bath and Harlequins, the game opens up and they score lots of tries."
Saracens enter the rematch of last year's grand final - which Leicester edged 33-27 in dramatic circumstances - with a first Premiership double over the Tigers in the bank.
Strettle insists a second successive league win at Welford Road has convinced them that they are capable of seizing their first English league title.
"I hope we've got Leicester's number, but finals are a completely different thing!" he said.
"We've done the double on them, but you only have to look at how close the game was at their place to know how tight it will be.
"But that win at Welford Road does give us confidence because it's such a hard place to go. We're going into the game knowing we can win.
"It's funny because many players will go their whole career without winning at Welford Road.
"I've spoken to a couple of our South African players and they've played there twice and won twice!
"It's great credit to the squad that's forming at Saracens that we can go to places like that, Bath and Northampton and perform at that level."
Leicester will be appearing in their seventh successive Premiership final and are targeting an 11th English league title.
Despite all the talk of negative tactics, Strettle believes Leicester's perennial presence in the final will win Saracens the neutral vote at Twickenham on Saturday.
"Leicester go into every game expecting to win and that's why they're such a good team," he said.
"You don't win as many title as they have without that sort of mentality.
"It should be a great final between the country's two best teams - there were no shocks in the semis.
"Neutrals will want it to be a Saracens year as well because it will mean Leicester won't have won - again!"

NOCs may qualify in each of the four sailing events; in addition, the host nation will automatically qualify in each of the events. To ensure Universality at the YOG there is continental quota system in place and in addition to this eight of the 100 places are reserved as NOC Universality Places to be assigned by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
For each of the four sailing events, there are seven Youth Olympic Qualification Events (YOQE). Competitors qualify their National Olympic Committee (NOC) at a YOQE, and the NOC will then select its competitor for that event by the 8th July 2014 deadline.
The seven YOQE for each event are made up of six Continental Qualification Events and a final World Championship or world qualification event.

LONDON — British composer, pianist and arranger Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, who was nominated three times for Academy Awards, has died in New York City at age 76.
His publisher Novello & Co. said in a statement Friday that Bennett died on Dec. 24 following a brief illness.
Bennett was nominated for Oscars for the scores for "Far from the Madding Crowd" in 1967, "Nicholas and Alexandra" in 1971 and "Murder on the Orient Express" in 1974.
A student of Pierre Boulez in 1957-58, Bennett's work evolved from the avant-garde to a more tonal style. As a pianist, he performed with singer Claire Martin and he recorded music by George Gershwin, Jerome Kern and Harold Arlen.
Bennett's extensive output included more than 200 works for the concert hall and 50 scores for film and television, five operas and miscellaneous works including settings of Christmas carols.
"Richard was the most complete musician of his generation — lavishly gifted as a composer, performer and entertainer in a multiplicity of styles and genres," said Chris Butler, head of publishing for the Music Sales Group in London.
"He was a loyal friend to music, musicians, and music publishing and we will remember him with great respect and affection."
British composer Daryl Runswick said he had benefited from Bennett's help and encouragement.
"He was a cultured gay man and every aspect of his creativity was defined by elegance," Runswick wrote on The Guardian's website.
"He wanted, and achieved, a refined style in both his music and his life: that is why he went to New York, and was so happy there." Continued...
Bennett was born March 29, 1936, in Broadstairs near the English Channel coast, but his family moved to the safer area of Devon after war broke out. His mother, who had studied with the composer Gustav Holst and had sung in the first performance of "The Planets," was an early musical influence on her son.
"People ask what was the first piece of music I wrote. There was no first piece," Bennett said in an interview last year with The Guardian newspaper.
"I just scribbled away and eventually a C-major chord was there. I didn't ever decide I was going to be a composer. It was like being tall. It's what I was. It's what I did."
He moved to New York in 1979, following the end of a long relationship and feeling stifled in Britain. Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein supported his application for a green card work permit.
"I was doing a lot of things out of guilt," he said of his departure from Britain.
"I hated teaching composition. I was playing music I didn't particularly want to play, being on committees I didn't want to be on. I wanted to write music, and cook, and play cards, and have a nice time," The Guardian quoted him as saying.
In New York he indulged his passion for jazz, accompanying singer Claire Martin in shows at the Algonquin Hotel and drawing praise from The New York Times as "a sensitive, truly intimate collaborator."
He helped Paul McCartney with his orchestral work "Standing Stone," commenting on sections faxed by the former Beatle.
"I sent him one, thinking it was pretty good," McCartney said. "A few minutes later, I got a fax back with the word 'feeble' scribbled across it.
"I phoned him straight back and said, 'Richard, that's what my teacher wrote on my essays. You're a sensitive artist, and if you don't like something, could you please write, 'That's a little below par?'" Continued...
Bennett coached Elizabeth Taylor to sing a nursery rhyme for the film "Secret Ceremony," for which he wrote the musical score. Prince Charles commissioned Bennett in 2005 to write "Reflection on a Scottish Folk Song" in honor of the prince's grandmother, Queen Mother Elizabeth.
Bennett was knighted in 1998. Funeral details were not announced.

A dark and powerful storm clears Yosemite National Park leaving behind a thin layer of fog that makes for a dramatic sunrise. The bright morning light cutting through the clouds contrasts the darkness of the valley creating a mysterious and magical mood, one that encourages exploration.

Movie Review: Liam Neeson's 'Taken 2' a mistaken sequel
Planning to pay out good money to see "Taken 2"? To paraphrase Liam Neeson, you're about to be taken.
Whatever novelty there was watching Neeson go commando in 2008's "Taken" is gone in the sequel, a mix of third-rate action, dreary family melodrama, laughable bad guys and even more laughable plot devices.
"Taken 2" is so bad it feels as though producer and co-writer Luc Besson swept up odds and ends cut from the first movie and slapped them together between a few new scenes shot with Neeson's retired CIA guy Bryan Mills, his daughter (Maggie Grace) and ex-wife (Famke Janssen).
The original was relentlessly paced and just flew by. The sequel is about the same length yet takes its good old time putting the villains and viewers out of their misery.
Besson and director Olivier Megaton ("Transporter 3") pad "Taken 2" with really awful reconciliation moments between Mills and his family, and once the action finally kicks in, it's nothing but repetitive kill shots to the head, snapping of necks and poorly edited hand-to-hand fights.
The giggles start in the opening moments as a group of Albanians mourn their dead — all the thugs Neeson's Mills killed in the first movie for kidnapping his daughter in a prostitution ring.
"The dead cry out to us for justice!" proclaims family patriarch Murad (Rade Sherbedgia). "We will have our revenge!"
Murad assembles a seemingly countless gang of rogues to go after Mills in Istanbul, where he's just finished a security job and is taking some down time with daughter Kim (Grace) and his ex, Lenore (Janssen), who's newly separated from her second hubby.
They're such amateurs, Murad and his boys, that it's like watching Mills shoot puppies in a pet store window as he takes them out individually and in bunches. There's little sense of peril to Mills and his women, even Lenore, who spends much of the movie bound and whimpering, with knives at her throat (what fun for Janssen this job must have been).
The filmmakers decide to promote Grace's Kim from whimper-woman in "Taken" to her dad's apprentice here, with pretty silly results. Under Mills' guidance, Kim tosses live grenades indiscriminately around Istanbul so her dad can use the explosions to triangulate the position of Murad's lair.
