Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Biopic reveals tarnish underneath gilded life
It's a small, entertainment-industry insider sort of distinction, but it needs to be made: Behind the Candelabra isn't just a movie; it's a show.
In addition to being a biographical film about one of the world's most famous entertainers and his tumultuous relationship with a much-younger lover, it's also a kitschy and glamorous historical examination of the most lavish kind of show-business-fuelled excess. It is, in every sense, a performance piece.
Behind the Candelabra, which premi®res Sunday on HBO Canada, is a dizzying and completely captivating look inside the lives of legendary showman Liberace and his longtime paramour, Scott Thorson. It's a rather frank and occasionally uncomfortable exploration, and its success -- despite a rock-solid script by Richard LaGravenese (The Fisher King) and seamless direction by Steven Soderbergh -- is the direct result of skilful and selfless performances by Michael Douglas and Matt Damon.
The film opens in 1977, with wide-eyed teen Thorson working in Los Angeles as a trainer of animals for movies and TV shows. A product of social-services upbringing after being abandoned by his drug-addicted mother, Thorson is a young man in search of acceptance and affection.
He meets an older guy named Bobby (Scott Bakula) in a bar one night, and after their friendship intensifies, Bobby invites him to ride along on a trip to Las Vegas. While there, they attend a show by Liberace at the Hilton Hotel, and Thorson is blown away by what he sees.
After the show, Bobby takes his young charge backstage to meet Liberace. There's more than just mischief in the entertainer's smile, much to the chagrin of Liberace's onstage duet partner (and apparently headed-for-the-exit at-home companion). Thorson, taken by the moment, is completely unaware he's also just been given a foreshadowing of his own future.
Liberace invites Thorson to brunch the next day and, for all intents and purposes, the young visitor never leaves. Well, not for half a decade, anyway, when he's replaced by another young arrival in Liberace's inner circle.
What Douglas -- who brilliantly inhabits this over-the-top character without ever lapsing into parody -- and Damon accomplish over the next 90 minutes is quite remarkable; in a movie that's overflowing with costumes and decorations and jewelry and sparkly, rhinestone-encrusted everything, they keep viewers' attention riveted on a complex and quickly troubled relationship filled with -- at various stages -- genuine love, crippling jealousy, intense vanity and bitter betrayals.
It's also a relationship that was, by necessity, carried out in secret, as Liberace steadfastly maintained the public posture -- out of fear the truth would ruin his career -- of a straight man who simply hadn't ever met the right girl.
The pairing of Liberace and Thorson is shown, at its outset, as filled with genuine mutual affection (and plenty of frankly depicted man-on-man intimacy), but later on, as Thorson starts to dabble in drugs and Liberace becomes more possessive and demanding (including forceful requests that his lover submit to facial reconstruction surgeries to make him look more like a younger Liberace), things unravel in a manner that is quite mean-spirited and ugly.
As with any well-rendered onscreen relationship, the dissolution of this one is not easy to watch.
There are, however, also several campy moments and comedic asides, contributed mostly by a capable roster of co-stars led by Dan Aykroyd as Liberace's manager, Seymour Heller; Rob Lowe as the aging pianist's perma-stoned plastic surgeon, Dr. Jack Startz; and Debbie Reynolds as his beloved mother, Frances Liberace. But overall, Behind the Candelabra is a serious, thoughtful adaptation of Thorson's like-titled book, which was published a year after Liberace's death in 1987.
There's plenty of glitz in this film to catch your eye and take your breath away, but after the credits roll, the only two things you'll remember are the stellar performances of Behind the Candelabra's fearless stars.

The race for the Hernando School Board District 5 seat is headed for a recount.
Retired Brooksville educator Cynthia Moore squeaked out an apparent victory over four-term incumbent Sandra Nicholson on Tuesday. But the margin was 41 votes out of 50,573 cast — or 0.08 percent. State law requires a recount when the margin is less than one-half of 1 percent.
"We understand that, but we're all excited up here," Moore, 68, said Tuesday night just after the final returns were posted in the County Commission chambers at the Hernando County Government Center. "I'm confident."
Nicholson, 62, did not return messages Tuesday night.
Supervisor of Elections Annie Williams said she should know today when the recount will begin. The timing depends on whether any statewide races require a recount, Williams said. If not, a recount at the county level should take one day — maybe two — she said.
A Moore victory would block a sweep of the incumbents this year on the School Board. Board members John Sweeney and Dianne Bonfield — both nearing the end of their first terms — defeated their respective challengers in the August primary election.
Nicholson faced three challengers as she fought for a fifth term. Hernando High School teacher Mike Bainum was eliminated during the August primary, sending Nicholson and the 68-year-old Moore to a runoff.
During the campaign, Moore touted her 46 years of experience in the school district as a teacher, administrator and now a volunteer at Brooksville Elementary School. Moore, who also served for a time as president of the local teachers union, criticized Nicholson for being out of touch with the concerns of teachers, students and parents.
Nicholson disputed that, maintaining she has been a responsive board member who works for parents who approach her with issues. She said her past experience as an office manager for a Brooksville engineering firm complemented a board flush with members boasting backgrounds in education. And she said Moore could not match the knowledge of the school district that Nicholson has gleaned after 16 years on the board.
With a dark budget picture in the forecast for next year, Nicholson had expressed a willingness to consider some controversial strategies, such as student activity fees, furloughs and the scaling back of so-called courtesy busing for students who live within 2 miles of school.

Doing dishes may be a hard enough chore, but trying to conserve water while doing it is simply impossible. Many a times we either end up letting the water run for longer than required or use too much of detergent. During winters, even the water heater is used for longer than necessary. There is a need for a simple unit that can somehow combine all the three facets, conservation of water, saving of electricity and optimum dispensing of detergent, all in a single unit. The 'Water Efficient Washing Up Unit' by designer Toby Fox aims at solving this problem in a unique way. This unit includes a tank where water is filled and stored while you do the dishes. The cleaning handle of the unit sucks up the water and heats it as well. During the cleaning it dispenses the detergent in the right amount and a bout of steam at the end of the cleaning process completes the rinsing as well.
At the flick of two buttons (one for detergent and the other for steam) and a little pump of water, your dishes are done and water is conserved. Whether such units make it to the shelf or not, the thought process of Toby has made me aware that we really need to be careful while doing mundane chores, for every drop counts.

I graduated from VCHS in 2008, and now I am currently in college. VCHS really prepared me for life in college by teaching me proper study skills and also how to manage my time better. I would recommend VC to anybody. The teachers are all wonderful and pleasant to be around. Fr. John is an amazing headmaster and by the time you are a senior, you don't feel like he is your principal or anything....he feels more like your best friend. The VC community is very kind and any time you walk through those doors, you feel like one giant family. Joey D.
I am a freshman and have come to really like VC. Only having 4 classes a day is great and the teachers are really nice. Everyone knows each other so there are rarely any conflicts. It is a great place to be.
This is school offers success in each students lives, notice the key word each... and every person who walks through them doors and accepts Venango Catholic is where I need to be. I been to a public school before, so yeah, long story short...Venango Catholic to me is more than a diploma, its like a family. Fr. John, would never steer you wrong. with much love... Kevin class of 2005
All of my children are truly proud that they graduated from Venango Catholic High School. They continually live the great values and virtues that they were instilled with at home and practiced every day at this wonderful school.
Great teachers, I loved the small class sizes, felt close to everyone in the school. Block Scheduling was amazing because it prepared me for college, it helped with my studies to only focus on 4 classes at a time, and when it came time to finals I only had to focus on 4 at a time plus I could remember the information better since I had learned it all within half the year, rather than the normal 9 month schedule.
I love Venango Catholic High School because of it's caring, loving teachers and headmaster!
Venango Catholic High School is the best High School anyone could ever attend. They have the most intelligent and compassionate teachers and faculty there. They genuinly care about you and want to see you succeed and they will do anything they can to aid you in that. They students there are also a great group of kids. Everyone there is friends with everyone. It truly is one big family and you won't find a better one anywhere else.

Transport effect ruining map transition?

I also find this immersion-breaking and super annoying.
I'm a big fan of the idea of putting animation tabs in the map transition part:
Leave from Andoria. How do you want to leave? (warp out)
Spawn where? How do you want to spawn? (warp in)
We brought this up in the conference calls. However, I'm not sure if it's a high priority for the devs. It could be something that is hard-wired into the game.

Frozen Phil may predict early spring; why weather forecasts go bad
By John Nelander
It's unlikely that the groundhog will see his shadow next Saturday, a sure sign that spring is right around the corner.
Well, it's right around the corner in South Florida, at least, although winter may continue its grip on places like Punxsutawney, Penn. That's where the nation's semi-official long-range prognosticator, Punxsutawney Phil, pokes his head out to assess conditions and make his famous Feb. 2 forecast.
Saturday is expected to be cloudy with a chance of snow flurries, with a high of 25 and a low of 17.
Actually, folks in Punxsutawney may get a preview of spring next week as temperatures jump into the mid-50s Tuesday and Wednesday with a chance of rain. The cold front that pushes through on Thursday will drop highs into the teens on Friday, with a frigid low of 10.
If this forecast pans out, Phil may be one very unhappy groundhog this year when the guys in the top hats come to roust him out of his burrow.
The same front that will make things uncomfortable for Phil and his fans is expected to push through South Florida Thursday night, turning yet another round of 80-plus-degree weather next week into more seasonal 75-degree temps for the weekend.
That's been the pattern this winter in Palm Beach — very warm temperatures followed by cold fronts that bring conditions back to seasonal averages. Indications now are that this pattern may continue through February as well.
* * *
On Monday, the sun sets at 6 p.m. in Palm Beach for the first time since Saturday, Nov. 2, when Daylight Saving Time ended. Civil twilight ends at 6:24 p.m.
In terms of actual daylight hours, Monday will be equivalent to Oct. 7 when the sun set at 7 p.m. EDT.

A Brigham Young University researcher has come up with a new theory about why weather forecasters sometimes get it wrong. She believes there's an unseen factor that forecasting models don't pick up called "atmospheric internal waves."
They're waves that move between layers of high density and low density air, distributing energy around the atmosphere.
The waves may break up storms or even prevent storms from materializing, according to Julie Crockett, a BYU mechanical engineering professor in Provo, Utah.
"Internal waves are difficult to capture and quantify as they propagate, deposit energy and move energy around," Crockett said. "When forecasters don't account for them on a small scale, then the large scale picture becomes a little bit off, and sometimes being just a bit off is enough to be completely wrong about the weather."
She's working on a new wave model that meteorologists can incorporate into their programs and come up with more accurate forecasts.
