Gunman remains at large in Glen Burnie shooting
Police: Victim knows the person who shot him
GLEN BURNIE, Md. (WMAR) - A 21-year-old Glen Burnie man was found laying in the middle of the street after being shot Friday evening.
Anne Arundel County Police were called to Elvaton Road at Silverleaf Court in Glen Burnie for calls of a shooting.
Police say the victim was shot in the lower half of his body and transported to the University of Maryland Hospital Trauma Center. His injuries are non-life threatening.
The victim initially told police that he was shot walking in the street, but detectives later found out that the victim had been in a vehicle with people he knew. Police say the individuals got into an altercation.
According to police, that's when the victim got out of the car on Elvaton Road, was shot, and fell to the ground.
The suspect fled the scene in an older silver vehicle. Searches for the car were unsuccessful by police.
The victim is in stable condition.

This will be the first installment of BEAVER'S LODGE, a weekly series of video essays narrated by actor Jim Beaver which will offer critical takes on some of Beaver's favorite films. Jim Beaver is an actor, playwright, and film historian. Best known as Ellsworth on HBO's Emmy-award winning series DEADWOOD and as Bobby Singer on SUPERNATURAL, he has also starred in such series as HARPER'S ISLAND, JOHN FROM CINCINATTI, and THUNDER ALLEY and appeared in nearly forty motion pictures. You can follow Jim on Twitter.
I love this movie. Let's get that out of the way before I start in on a rant about studio stupidity.
This film is about hobos riding the rails of Depression-era America. It was made and originally released as Emperor of the North Pole. After initial screenings, Twentieth Century Fox executives feared that audiences might think the title indicated a Christmas movie (!) or an Arctic exploration story and so shortened the title to Emperor of the North, a change that made little sense in terms of audience expectations and none at all in light of the fact that "Emperor of the North Pole" is a hobo term used extensively throughout the film. To be emperor of the North Pole, in hobo jargon, is to be king of the road. To be emperor of the north means some idiot is in charge of the title.
This is a tough little picture, directed by Robert Aldrich, no stranger to tough little pictures (Kiss Me Deadly, The Dirty Dozen). It is written by Christopher Knopf (a true gentleman, by the way), reportedly from stories by Jack London. It stars Lee Marvin as the toughest 'bo on the rails and Ernest Borgnine as the meanest man ever to run a train. Keith Carradine is a windy, self-important, and callow kid who thinks he can play with the big boys. Borgnine's Shack is the conductor on #19, a freight train plying the rails of the Pacific Northwest. His driving passion is to prevent hobos from stealing free rides on his train, and he's willing to kill and maim to stop them. Marvin, as "A-No. 1," decides to ride the 19 and show Shack just who is Emperor of the North Pole.
Marvin is just about perfect in this gritty film. His makeup, his wardrobe, his demeanor, everything about him screams 1930s tough guy on the bum. There's no glamor to this star turn. The same can be said for Ernest Borgnine, though glamor admittedly was never his strong suit. Borgnine was one of the most decent men in Hollywood, but when he played a heavy, there were few nastier fellows in the business. His intensity and cruelty as the obsessed Shack are brilliantly delineated. Keith Carradine is irritating as Cigaret, the peacock kid who thinks he's as tough as they come. But he's supposed to be irritating, and it's a fine performance.
This is also one of those films that pulls together a passel of great character actors (Elisha Cook Jr., Malcolm Atterbury, Charles Tyner) and leaves one wondering where all the wonderful, familiar faces that used to populate Hollywood films have gone, and why we don't see such collections of comfortably resonant characters so much anymore. (I think I know why, but that's corporate talk, for another discussion.)
Most of the action takes place on board the train, and some of it is harrowing. Of particular note is the fact that most of the leading actors put themselves at some extended risk in the making of the film. Long before CGI special effects made such things meaningless, it's clear in this movie that it really is Ernest Borgnine, Lee Marvin, Keith Carradine, and Charles Tyner walking, running, and clambering on, around, and UNDER a speeding train. Surely safety measures were taken, yet it's wonderful to see shots where one misstep could have cost a star, not a stuntman, his life--even as it's good to know nothing like that happened.
Aside from my disgust with the stupidity of the title change, and a couple of too-cutesy moments in the music and a river baptism scene, Emperor of the North Pole is a favorite of mine, an exciting film as tough as old leather and as harsh as the era it depicts. And it's got Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine, two of the hardest hard cases in movies, going head to head. It's a great ride.

Amy | July 12, 2012 11:13 PM
I really enjoyed this review Jim, I'm a big fan of Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine, having been raised on old movies - particularly those gritty actioners with Marvin.
Your point regarding the cavalcade of familiar faces that the Hollywood movies used to have is such a good one. I miss seeing movies where you know that guy, even though you may not know who that guy is.
I loved hearing your naration, you're very easy to listen to.
This is a fantastic idea and I'm looking forward to your next review - Amy
Judi Hymen | July 12, 2012 6:54 PM
Oddly I've never heard of this film but it looks really good and I will check it out.
mike schlesinger | July 12, 2012 6:42 PM
A lovely piece on one of the finest movies of the 70s. Many years ago, I happened to come across cinematographer Joseph Biroc, and told him how much I loved his work, especially EMPEROR. He thoughtfully puffed his cigar for a few moments and then quietly said, "Yeah, I kinda like it, too."
BTW, did you know this was shot on the same locations Keaton used for THE GENERAL?
Scott Anderson | July 12, 2012 6:23 PM
The thing that sets Jim Beaver apart from the other actors: he's intelligent.
Jim Mickol | July 12, 2012 12:49 PM
I love the realism of this movie and, of course, the depth of characters and the actors who play them. Much the same sentiments I have for Deadwood.
Dee Dee Dube' | July 12, 2012 2:35 AM
Man, that was a great review! I remember seeing this movie with my dad at the drive-in as a kid and being totally frightened by Borgnine. I never watched it again, he scared me that much which is the testament of a great actor to leave such an impression. A few years back, I met Ernie at a Book Expo. A friend's mother worked with him in the 40's in summerstock. Said friend asked if I would take him a letter and some photos of her mom and Ernie from back in the day. I did. He was so lovely and excited about the packet and thanked me for being its carrier. Ernie not only called my friend but invited her and her family to visit him on the set of Red and took them to lunch, reminiscing about her mom who had passed a few years earlier. He shared stories they didn't know about their relative. You are right Jim, an incredibly decent as well as kind man.
Jodie | July 12, 2012 2:10 AM
A wonderful review, Jim! I always love to read your reviews, but it's even more fantastic to hear them read by you!
Paulette | July 12, 2012 1:22 AM
Thanks Jim I don't think I have seen any of the older movies in such a very long time. I hope I will be able to rent or buy it because I sure would like to see it I look forward to seeing next weeks review.
Amanda | July 12, 2012 1:19 AM
I really enjoyed your review, Jim, and I'm looking forward to checking out this film. I will certainly be back here next week!
Glissy Vega | July 11, 2012 11:52 PM
This absolutely amazing; the way you review the movie make me want for more; including to watch the movie. Thanks Jim for gives me a piece of something you like. I will be here every Wednesday.
Melanie | July 11, 2012 10:11 PM
I'm impressed by the narration and by your pick of film. This was a great one, that I've seen with my pa many times. Makes me want to watch it, again. So, I think I will.
Jay Brazeau | July 11, 2012 7:55 PM
Wonderful review Jim and an excellent choice. You have such an incredible taste in film. I look forward to reading more. You have my "thumbs up" at the Lodge.
Sandy | July 11, 2012 7:53 PM
Enjoyed your narration , looking forward to your next one.. I prefer to watch older movies myself don't think I ever saw this one .. see ya next week !
Lisa | July 11, 2012 7:22 PM
Excellent review, and you have a great voice for doing video essays like this. I will be back next week!
Michael | July 11, 2012 5:28 PM
This must be my day. I was just thinking about this film and looked up and watched the trailer online. Then I came round here to indiewire and wow. I used to see this film as a kid on tv, ABC specifically, on their Sunday Night Movie. I saw it four or five times on tv and wish I could see it on the bigscreen. Aldrich was certainly an interesting guy. Those movies you mentioned, plus Flight of the Phoenix and of course, The Longest Yard, both of which has sadly been remade with lame results. You're totally right about studio blockheads. Today, they're even blockier.
Jared | July 11, 2012 3:18 PM
Oh boy am I excited for this feature. My girlfriend recently unearthed some late 70s issues of Film in Review she found on eBay a few years ago, and I've been loving reading the articles written by Mr. Beaver. More please!
Wallace Stroby | July 11, 2012 3:17 PM
Great piece. Saw this at a drive-in in 1973 (age 12), and it's been one of my favorite films since. The comic elements (and the jaunty music) always seemed a little out of place, but it's one of Borgnine's best performances. The original trailer - with the original title - is an easter egg on the DVD. Just go to the Special Features menu and click on Borgnine's hammer.
JT Cogburn | July 11, 2012 12:06 PM
This was spectacular!
Thank you Mr. Beaver. I've GOT to find "Emperor of the North" and watch it.

You may have noticed a lot more red, white and blue around town. That's because it's Flag Day.
In 1949, President Truman signed legislation designating June 14th as Flag Day. The idea originated with a Wisconsin schoolteacher in the 1880's. He picked June 14 because that is when the Continental Congress adopted Old Glory as the U.S. flag in 1777.
Much controversy has centered around the United States flag and many lives have been lost defending it. Now Attorneys General across the country are backing a friend-of-court brief supporting the Pledge of Allegiance we say in honor of the flag.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is actually leading this battle. Abbott worked to get all 49 other state Attorneys General to sign the brief.
It was filed with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in California, asking the court to allow schoolchildren to say "one nation under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Attorney and self proclaimed atheist Michael Newdow brought the case before the United States Supreme Court back in 2003, saying the words "under God" violate the separation of church and state. Justices dismissed it on a technicality.
Then last year a San Francisco judge said the pledge cannot be recited in public schools because it contains a reference to God.
Now, the 9th Circuit Court is hearing an appeal to that ruling and that's where Abbott and all the other Attorneys General come in. "We authored a brief defending the pledge that was in turn joined by every single state in the union," said Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz.
Abbott says although this ruling currently only affects San Francisco, it could greatly impact Texas and all other states. "What the California court rules will set federal law for the states in the 9th Circuit which in turn impacts the entire nation," Cruz said.
He says now is the time to defend the words "under God," and the Lubbock residents we spoke with agree.
"When you say the Pledge of Allegiance God is there."
"Our nation was found upon religion. "
"That's what this country was founded on."
"That's what our nation was built on."
"I think God is very important because he made this country possible."
This case is pending in the federal court of appeals. The court still has to hear oral arguments before a decision is made. That's decision is likely to come within the next year.

Made it through hump day! Was in the library pretty much all day yesterday, from 4pm until 1am. It's great fun, studying in the same place you work.
I have now been up since around 6.30am and completed my Marketing Management final exam. Here's to hoping that it went well! I'm just glad it's over with. I put in the time and effort, and now it's up to 'the fates' (really my professor) for the grade. Thursdays have always been my busiest day, with three classes going from 9am until 5.30pm, and today is of course no exception.
However, despite how disgustingly busy my Thursdays have been every week for the entire semester, I like them. Because at LEAST tomorrow is Friday. And I only have class from 10 – 10.50 on Fridays. It's practically an early weekend.
Of course, sitting here now I realise I will be awake well into Friday morning working on completing homework and already all I can think of is my bed and how comfortable it would be if I could just stop doing work and climb into it.
This is one of those nights where I am forced to ask myself if I reeeeally need to do everything. Of course, the answer is yes. I am just starting to get very sick of late night after late night after late night after late night… you get the picture.
But this is finals. The bags under everyone's eyes have already doubled in size, the amount of people in the library and the AC is innumerable. Congratulations, Finals, on once again making campus crazy. And it isn't even technically finals week yet!
At least my best friend Brenna is here freaking out along with me. Teamwork.

The North Decatur and South Decatur cross country teams competed in the Mid-Hoosier Conference tournament Saturday at Hoosier Horse Park in Johnson County.

"I'm especially happy for and proud of Megan Hoover," said North coach Scott Johnson. "Last year she was conference runner-up. That wasn't good enough in her mind, so she set a goal to be the individual champion this year. The not only accomplished that goal – she destroyed it as she won the conference by 25 seconds over second place. I look forward to seeing what she can do at the sectionals on Tuesday."
North's Brady Holloway missed the 15-runner All-Conference cut by less than one minute.
For South Decatur, Justyn Clark, Ashley Hamilton and Stacy Fox all finished as All-Conference. Hamilton took fifth place in 21:48.

"They all have worked so hard for this meet at practice," said South coach Bethany Fromer. "I am excited for my all conference runners, as well as those who broke personal records. They will have one more chance to meet goals and times at sectional on Tuesday."
For the Lady Cougars, senior Emily Mapes took 20th with a time of 24:49, and senior Paje Smiley was 45th in 33:10.
For the South boys, Clark took seventh overall in 17:38. Nick Grissom was 29th in 19:24 and senior Tyler Wamsley was 47th in 21:18.

By JILL MCNEAL6 News Anchor/Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) -- After an undercover sting and two arrests for prostitution, a massage parlor on Murdock Drive in West Knox County is back open for business.
The Knox County Sheriff's Office raided The Hollywood Spa on July 9. An undercover officer says an employee offered him a sexual act in return for more money during his massage.
That employee, Chin Kim, pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor of simple prostitution and was given six months of unsupervised probation.
The owner of the spa, Myung Kim, was charged with the felony of promoting prostitution. She was in court Tuesday morning for her scheduled trial, but it was postponed until December.
The Hollywood Spa sign has been taken down and replaced with a smaller one in the window that reads "ing spa." However, neighbors say the activity is the same.
"I don't want them to have any business, period. They shouldn't be allowed to be open," says Cheryl Allmon, unofficial spokesperson for a group of neighbors who feel the same way.
Allmon's was one of the complaints that led to the bust in July.
"Really, the next day I thought, the good guys have finally won one. Knox County is going to stand up and they're going to really protect us," Allmon says.
But much to her dismay, the open sign soon lit up again and the customers were back. "How can that happen? How can that happen and who's going to protect us?" she asks.
When 6 News took those complaints to the spa, the only person inside was an employee who says she was just hired recently.
She admitted she doesn't feel comfortable working in a place that was busted for prostitution, but says she needs the job and doesn't do anything illegal.
That assurance is of little comfort to those who live, work and take their kids to school nearby.
"We have to have our community leaders, our sheriff's office, somebody has got to jump in and say you know, enough is enough. There's too much risk here. We're going to protect the children. We're going to protect the community, the people who vote for us. Let's do the right thing and clean up this area," Allmon says.
The Knox County Sheriff's Office says it's working with the building's owner through the court system, trying to shut down the spa for good.
The same group of West Knox County neighbors is also fighting the Adult Video Superstore near the spa on Lovell Road.

Baldwin, who is Seattle's leading receiver and has become the main option for Jackson, finished with seven receptions for 93 yards and his third TD catch of the season.
Baldwin had five catches for 60 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to Washington.||||||| Baldwin has had at least 50 yards receiving in four of his last five games, but hasn't reached the end zone since Week 5.
Baldwin caught a 27-yard touchdown pass with 2:37 remaining to put the Seahawks ahead for good in Sunday's 36-25 win over the Giants.||||||| "We believe in ourselves and we believe in each other," Baldwin said after making eight catches for 136 yards and the critical score. "It's believing the guys next to you will do it." Baldwin is an undrafted free agent from Stanford who leads the team with 20 receptions.

ROCK HILL — A group of Common Core opponents brought their conservative education reform message to downtown Rock Hill on Monday.
Speaking on behalf of those affiliated with South Carolina Parents Involved in Education, Sheri Few, the groups president and a candidate for state superintendent, spoke about why Common Core isnt good for South Carolinas students.
The standards themselves are faulty, Few said, citing problems SCPIE sees with math, English, the cost of funding, data-mining of student information and the inappropriateness of the standards for young children, among other problems.
The Rock Hill event outside City Hall was one in a series across the state in anticipation of Wednesday, when a bill repealing Common Core in the state will be up for a hearing in the S.C. Senate. SCPIE also will host a Stop Common Core rally in Columbia on Wednesday.
One of the dozen people supporting Few and SCPIE was Rock Hill resident Paul Anderko, with GPS Conservatives for Action. He supports repealing Common Core because he doesnt approve of more federal control over what students learn.
Its very important the local school boards have control, Anderko said.
In Rock Hill, the school district has spent the last three years implementing Common Core, said school board chairman Jim Vining.
The board is taking no position on Common Core, but the district has already made a large investment in implementing it, he said. To go in another direction now would end up using a lot of resources.
Several people who oppose Common Core have signed up to address an upcoming Rock Hill school board meeting, as they have other local school boards.
State Sen. Wes Hayes, R-Rock Hill, is sponsoring a forum put on by a local chapter of SCPIE next week.

Hi All
I have recently been asked to plot some dwf files, as I have the full version of Autocad, Design Review is not something I use very often.
When I plotted the files,(these were building layouts with areas marked up in solid colours) I found that what is actually the mark up moves to the front & hides the building layout. which renders it useless for my project managers requirements.
If I look at the print preview everything is as it should be, but when I plot it, it is not.
By digging around I have found a work around but it is slow & wonder if there is anything else I can do that will make it faster with the required result at the end which is to see the shaded areas at the back so you can still see the floor layout.
My work around is
plot to pdf - Adobe
When setting up the print options choose advanced & tick "Turn Data into bitmap before printing"
Normal other choices for size etc.
This will now plot to a pdf the way I need it to look & the plot the pdf to hard copy.
It works but is slow can you guys suggest a better way?
Sorry I can't attach one of the files for security reasons.
I am using both Design review 2013 & Autocad 2013.
Thanks for any help you able to offer.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi All
After lots of digging around on different forums it looks like my "work around" is the actual answer or at least the only one I can find unless any of you know better & if you do please share it with me. Many thanks.

A little boy battling a rare cancer is the center of an outpour of community support.
In November 2013 19-month-old Draven Dunklow was diagnosed with retinoblastoma in both of his eyes.
His parents were devastated to learn their infant son and one of their five children was going to need several rounds of chemotherapy and potentially suffer from eyesight issues the rest of his life.
But the medical situation became more grave when doctors told the Dunklows their son's cancer was a genetic form, and all family members needed to have genetic testing done to determine if they too carried the gene.
Draven's condition and the upcoming tests have become a financial burden for the family of seven.
But that's where their family, and their community came in.
Both of Draven's parents have ties to the public safety community - Kevin works for the Traverse City Police Department and Andrea is an ER nurse and former EMS employee with North Flight.
Kevin says once his co-workers found out about what was going on, his "extended public safety family" stepped up to start fundraisers to help offset some of the medical expenses.
Tomorrow night Saturday January 18th, the Guns-N-Hoses charity hockey game kicks off at 7:30 with a silent auction, followed by the puck drop at 8:15.
9&10's Marisa McKay and photojournalist Jeremy Erickson spoke to organizers and the Dunklow family to learn more about how helping Draven has become a mission of the community.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Madison police say a 25-year-old woman fell victim to fraud.
Police say the woman was selling her computer monitor for $120 and had advertised on Craigslist. She was contacted by a man willing to pay the full asking price.
Officials say the two met near her downtown residence Saturday and he handed her six $20 bills. Once he left with her monitor, the woman realized the only legitimate bill was the one on top. The other five had the same serial number of JG05178338B.
Police describe the suspect as a black man in his early twenties, who's about 6 feet tall with an average build. He was last seen wearing basketball shorts, sneakers and a sweater.
Any information you may have regarding this suspect, please contact Madison Area Crime Stoppers at 608-266-6014.

Beginning Friday night, there will be a new traffic pattern on part of I-85 North.
According to the NCDOT, northbound traffic on a seven-mile stretch of the interstate will shift to new lanes beginning at 9pm Friday. The stretch of road starts at Bruton Smith Boulevard (Exit 49) and ends at Poplar Tent Road (Exit 52).
The DOT is in the process of widening I-85 to eight lanes from south of Bruton Smith Boulevard/Concord Mills Boulevard to north of N.C. 73 in Cabarrus County.
In the meantime, some shoppers are avoiding the popular shopping destination, Concord Mills, because of the traffic headache on I-85.
Maura Alexander works at a store inside Concord Mills.
"We actually have a lot of customers that come in the store and they're like, 'I don't even know why I come up here,'" said Alexander.
She's looking forward to the end of the construction process and thinks it'll bring even more shoppers to the already busy shopping mall.
"I think if they can get up here easier and not have to sit in traffic so long, they will come up here," said Alexander.
The widening project is scheduled to be finished in November, 2013.

An "Arabian-Nightish" gift to Yale is what Clarence Day, the author
of Life With Father, called the Elizabethan Club. The Club was
the brainchild of his Yale classmate, Alexander Smith Cochran, Class of
1896, who in 1911 donated a house, a $100,000 endowment, and his
important collection of early English literature to found it. Its
modest purpose was to provide a forum for undergraduate discussions on
literature, art, or indeed any subject, and to offer a congenial
environment for social and intellectual interaction between junior and
senior members of the University. read more

Moriarty Consults THE LOVE GURU!
Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here.
When I spoke to Harry on the phone earlier tonight and told him I was working on my LOVE GURU review, he got very quiet.
"... and... was it... any good?"
He went on to explain that there's pretty much no way he'll end up seeing this film. Not now. Not ever. Even when I told him what I thought of it, he didn't budge. Just wasn't interested at all. He's seen the trailers. He's seen the clips. Nope.
Such is the state of much of fandom's attitude towards Mike Myers on the eve of the release of this film, and that's a goddamn shame. It's a big test for Myers as a movie star. He's going head-to-head with GET SMART. Steve Carell has been making a ton of films lately, and he's built a real head of steam for himself as a box-office force. Myers hasn't created an original movie character like this since Austin Powers, and the last one of those, GOLDMEMBER, was six years ago. The comedy landscape has shifted since Myers made the first AUSTIN POWERS over a decade ago. Thanks to guys like Ricky Gervais and Judd Apatow and Matt and Trey and Larry David and Edgar Wright, the entire vocabulary of film comedy has become very different. It's strange that ZOHAN and LOVE GURU would come out so close together, since both represent significant stylistic risks. ZOHAN has some funny spots, but on the whole, it didn't work for me. THE LOVE GURU, on the other hand, finds its footing early and struck me as a very nice return to form for Myers, a confident vehicle for his particular comic sensibility. It's sweet and very silly, and Guru Pitka is a really welcome grown-up twist on the underlying adolescence of much of what Myers does.
And I mean that in the best way. Comedy fascinates me because of what an involuntary thing laughter is. The idea of setting out to provoke that response, the determination it takes to think that you can reliably get this completely natural reaction to happen... and there's a certain age where I think you discover that desire in yourself, where you start to figure out that you can get laughs, and that there's something really addictive about it.
Myers is like that kid who just learned 12 really naughty jokes, and he can't wait to tell them to you, and even as he does, you can see how delighted he is to be able to tell the jokes in the first place. When he's on a roll during a scene, having a good time, I find it infectious. He makes me laugh like I'm sitting across from my best friend in church on a Sunday morning, getting death stares from my parents every time a snort or guffaw escapes.
At the start of the film, Guru Pitka is already a bit of a celebrity. In fact, he's the number-two guru, which is no small thing. He's got his own successful ashram in Los Angeles. He's got celebrities coming to him for guidance. He's living the dream. But he's never been on Oprah, and he's always second to Deepak Choprah, and those two things eat at him. He is consumed by those most American of desires... money and fame. Even so, his seminars we glimpse are filled with silly-yet-sincere messages, and this is one part of the character I found surprising. I don't think Myers is trying to mock the self-help movement with this film. Not at all. Guru Pitka is pop psychology writ large, absolutely, but he's not an idiot. He simplifies. He is dramatic with his method. But the underlying ideas he offers up are real ones, and there's a gentle quality to the movie that I really liked. It's sort of the polar opposite of ZOHAN, which was a filthy movie disguised as a sweet comedy, while this pretends to be dirty to cover up its marshmallow middle.
I like how Myers has to create an entire comic universe around these characters, like he did in AUSTIN POWERS. What made me love the Power series was more than just the main character... it was all the peripheral weirdos around him. Myers plays just one character in this film, so he's cast such disparate oddballs as Justin Timberlake (outrageous as a horse-cocked hockey star with a Celine Dion fetish), Ben Kingsley (couldn't be broader if he tried), John Oliver (another DAILY SHOW correspondent making the jump to big studio comedy), and Romany Malco, whose resume is looking really, really good these days. As is traditional with Myers films, his leading lady is gorgeous and sort of terrible (Heather Graham in SPY WHO SHAGGED ME, Beyonce in GOLDMEMBER, Jessica Alba in this one), but they always seem like they're game for whatever Myers is up to, enjoying themselves even if they can't quite keep up.
Malco plays Darren Roanoake, "the Tiger Woods of hockey," who has suffered a debilitating drop in his gameplay after his wife Prudence (the ridiculously hot Meagan Good) leaves him for "Le Coq," Timberlake's character. Roanoake is the ultimate act of wish fulfillment for Myers, who is a lifelong Maple Leafs fan. In the world of the movie, Roanoake has gotten the Leafs within spitting distance of the Stanley Cup, and Pitka is hired to "fix" Roanoake so that he's focused for the playoffs. It's a premise that allows Myers to roast the fixation on celebrity romance, as well as our entire culture of the easy fix. Myers throws so many gags and jokes and visual flourishes at the viewer that the film becomes a game of percentages. For me, I'd say a majority of the jokes hit their target, and I was exhausted from laughing by the end of the movie. It's that sort of film, where if you connect to the sense of humor, you're going to find yourself pretty much carried along consistently throughout. There are certainly some familiar set-ups and rhythms to what Myers does here, but there are also many new quirks and eccentricities peppered all the way through. For me, the bottom line was that I liked the Guru Pitka. I am intrigued by the character, and so I was willing to follow him wherever he went in this crazed world Myers built around him. First-time director Marco Schnabel (an AD for Jay Roach on the Austin Powers films) seems to be working in full service of Myers and his vision here. Schnabel's work is fine, but not particularly noteworthy. Basically, all he has to do is make sure he gives Myers the right room to work, and that's what he does, with Myers taking full advantage of the playground that's set up for him.
I hope audiences take a chance on THE LOVE GURU. And I hope Myers doesn't wait so long before introducing us to more original characters in the future, since it feels to me like he's still able to tap into a real love for what he does, and for these oddballs he gives such hilarious life to.

However, I was watching 54 on cable the other night. Meyers was suprisingly good in it. He should think about doing more serious roles. If they ever make a Barack Obama movie (which they will) he should play David Axelrod.

Mike Myers learned those 12 naughty jokes.....
by ampersand110
and has been re-telling those same jokes for the past 11 years. I loved the first Austin Powers film and spy who shagged me, but its the same one note jokes. Even on the mtv movie awards the first joke out of the gate was the shameless plug joke he's been telling at every award show when he has a movie out. So I'm just going to have to pass.

P and U
by PackyMcCracken
I used to be a fan of Myers and still find the first 2 Austin Powers movies funny and So I Married an Ax Murderer is quite good. My problem with him now, is that he really has the same jokes and delivery in every film now. Yes, he has a "hilarious" Indian accent, but the stuff in the trailers show the same coy delivery that has worn thin. Now, maybe someone just needs to cut his trailers differently, but ricarleite is right - midget jokes? Still? Really? I see the same tired old jokes with a new wig and a beard. I believe you're sincere in your review, but I'd need to see a groundswell of raves to convince me that it's not a giant turd.
June 12, 2008, 7:26 a.m. CST

I think the trailers are really funny and he's got Deepak Chopra's voice down pat. I'm actually one of those people that listens to Chopra's CDs so it's funny to me already. And I also think there is plenty of room for different kinds of comedy. The past couple of years I've been enjoying comedy movies much more than I ever have really. I enjoyed Zohan quite a bit and I can't believe you thought it was filthy.

So everybody hates Meyers because he took time off?
by Spandau Belly
Look, I thought the Shrek movies were garbage too, and I didn't like the third Austin Powers much, but ultimately I like Meyers and I'm not going call his humour 'outdated' because he took some time off. I get that he's not doing the same type of movie as Judd Apatow, but it's not like comedians playing absurd characters has completely died out. There's still Jack Black, Will Ferrell and a bunch of other guys who are still going for these more silly outlandish character movies. And there's only so much of Seth Rogaine and Paul Rudd's drunken improv hour I feel like seeing Apatow edit into bloated 'story'.

I really, I admired Hot Fuzz, but I never actually laughed out loud. It was too close to what it was parodying, it was almost actually one those movies. I greatly prefered Team America.

The word "original" needs to be scrubbed in this review entirely
by jimmay
Myer's shtick recycled in the movie readily apparent from the trailers: Hairy lead character (shower scene) midget jokes (Vern Troyer), pointlessly getting hit in the head with things (short ceiling), out of control mobile seating ('magic' carpet just like Dr. Evil's chair), main characters inability to not call attention to another character's physical abnormality ('mole', this time 'gnome'). Indeed, the main protagonist, wrongly labeled "original" in this review, is a hairy, goofy, love-obsessed relic from the 1960's collective obsession with new age and exotic philosophy. He's the Austin Powers of India. Lame, Myers; and lame, Moriarty.

Nice Pineapple Express review?
by Series7
I don't know if it was you Moriarty. It may have been Harry or someone else. Who reviewed Speed and Mentioned having seen Pineapple Express. Since I have a love/hate relationship with Seth and Judd and this looks like a movie I am going to love I would like to know how it stacks up.
 As for the love Guru, I really didn't need someone to tell me that Mike Myers likes money. I like Mike Myers, but I wish he would just go back and save SNL. Though I bet if he hosted SNL he'd pull a Molly Shannon and just rehash all her old characters and we would saw how unfunny she really was.

bad bad bad
by zom-bot.com
i'm so sick of movie comedies going with the premise of sports, or money, or love, or deadlines or contests or anything else where the main character has to "WIN" something or "get something to happen or come up with 'Z' dollars before 'X' happens. You would think this many years away from SNL, Myers would be past this formula that is the curse of every SNL cast member debut film. there is NOTHING charming or funny about the preview. if indeed this is a charming movie, then they fucked themselves with the edits of those previews. Not only that, name one american household that gives a shit about Indian Guru culture. lots of people like spys, you have a built in parody fanbase. with gurus there is no built in fanbase. when i watch the tv spots i really feel bad for Myers. It's like he found a beard backstage during the Cat in the hat shoots, started improving a little, made somebody chuckle and decided that was enough to base a million dollar movie around.

"today's trendy hip new humor routine"
by zom-bot.com
is that the kind where seth rogen or that fat seth rogen clone are losers in some way? 'cause i don't like that either. Nor do i like the psuedo intellectualism of diablo cody just because she was a stripper and has had enough weird shit happen to her that she feels she needs to get off her chest.
i don't know what hip new modern comedy is. I like Reno 911 but people will say those guys should have stopped after 'the State'...so time passing has nothing to do with why i do not want to see the love Guru. the fact is, the preview literally turned my stomach as if i had accidentally drunk sour milk. I can't explain it. Maybe it's because everything was overlit. maybe it's because nothing was funny. maybe it's because it looked like an excuse to throw in Jessical alba the 'it' girl, or justin timberlake the 'it' boy when his album had just hit during filming, but by the time the movie is out no one cares anymore. I expected to see beyonce. or seacrest. or more 'celebrity' cameos or walkthroughs because apparently that's what's funny. hollywood sucking it's own dick. we're all friends. why don't you play a hobo in my movie. it'll be hilarious. not because it's funny, but because it's someone famous playing a small part in my movie full of that shit.
that's just the surface scratch of what's wrong with what he mike myers formula has become. and i don't even think it's mike's fault, i think it's his people.
June 12, 2008, 8:48 a.m. CST
Mike Meyers is hella old
by g-ride9000
I was obsessed with Wayne's World as a child. With the three Austin Powers movies, I felt squeezed by him. Some of the "grossout" gags and repeated jokes made me realize his limitations. The Guru looks like more of the fucking same.
June 12, 2008, 8:50 a.m. CST
by malcolm_mccallum
Mike Meyers is learning the wrong lessons from Peter Sellers. He needs to watch the man's work more closely and understand that see that he doesn't have to be telling jokes to be funny. Get himself into comic situations and the funny will follow without the characters having to try making it funny. Axe Murderer was his best work, I think and it was at its best when the funny did not come from characters trying to be funny. Play them straight and with integrity.

I wanted no part of it. But then I rented it on VHS when it was at Blockbuster and laughed my head off. I will see this movie on DVD. Hopefully it will surprise me the way "Austin" did. And say what you will about Myers, but when he resurrected Wayne's World at the Movie Awards it put a huge smile on my face.

Um, did you douchebags notice that the Kanye/Myers event happened during a telethon to raise money for a DISASTER?!? Regardless of whether or not Kanye made a valid point (I think he did) it was not the place to do it. Also, had Myers riffed on it, you same people would be talking about how big of a dick he was for cracking jokes during such a serious event. As for THE LOVE GURU, either you enjoy his style of humor or you don't. It looks like a Mike Myers film. It isn't pretending to be anything other than that. Quit yer bitching. Oh, and midget humor is always funny. Always. Weng Weng was Gangsta!

By which i mean Justin Timberlake. Hey, Steve Carrell aint making pussy R&B, so Justin, LEAVE THE COMEDY TO THE PROFESSIONALS. or watch Borat a lot and try your hand at it, i guess.

Do a third Wayne's World

There are a lot of comedians out right now who are a lot funnier then Mike Myers. But for some reason they can/don't want to leave the stand up scene. Stand up comedy is pretty big right now and there are a lot of really funny people out there. Some of the bigger names Oswald/Bribiglia/Jim Gaffigan are not showing up in movies for some reason no one is willing to do something with these guys. Probably because they aren't Dane Cook huge yet. But I am tired of seeing the same old comedians from SNL do the same thing (Murphy/Sandler/Myers/Martin). I think the backlash for The Love Guru is going to be intensified because Zohan just came out, and at least Sandler has two modes and changes it from movie to movie. Myers seems to only make movies about some fish out of water with a funny accent (we get it you wish you were Peter Sellers). Its old, its stale. And the Apatow gang is starting to wear pretty thin (was Knocked Up even a comedy? I laughed…. wait I didn't laugh at all during that movie) there are turning into the ROM-COM factory (but come on who doesn't want to see Pineapple Express? The premise just hits me right in the BONG (plus the bonus of having a talented director can't hurt)). Where the fuck is Dave Chapelle? Why can't Sarah Silverman do something? Why was Baby Mama so fucking tame? Why don't people get Tom Green? Why is Steven Wright the most underutilized comedian ever? That's my problem with Mike Myers comedy. Hopefully this bombs (along with Dave (but bombs don't seem to slow Eddie Murphy down at all????)) and hollywood will look for fresh comedians, and there are more then plenty out there (Doug Benson?) who are ripe for getting a goofy comedy. I bet a lot of these guys have gotten offers, but for cheap fluffy regulated hollywood comedies (Good Luck Chuck) and turned them down on principle (Mitch Hedberg). Oswald got Ratatouille (and Jeff Garlin is getting Wall-E and he is very talented (but admits to doing movies for money (Daddy Day Care)) and hopefully Oswald will get better acting offers (he's been in a lot of crap (money)) and hopefully he becomes a better actor because he is pretty bad (too bad Ratatouille wasn't a Dreamworks joint otherwise the voice acting would've been the selling point, not the movie, and maybe he would be a little more famous (but if it was a Dreamworks movie he wouldn't have been a big enough name for them) but he's better off it being Pixar with all the crap he has put his name on )).
 So maybe these new comedians can't pick a good script or maybe they aren't being offered any. All I am saying is that there are more comedians out there not getting a shot. I just hope that Paul F. Tompkins doesn't become the next big thing (somehow he ended up with a role in TWBB?).

But Moriarty.....
by kdoc13
I caught a preview of this a while back and it seemed like so much of this movie was nothing but reworked gags from the Austin Powers flicks. Did you find that as well? For every new joke, he takes five ones from Powers and recycles them. He even took the "Wrong Syl-able" joke from that Paltrow Stewardess movie and found a way to rework it. It totally felt like I saw this movie before, and not the just Peter Sellars version, but also when I saw Austin Powers. Of course it was funny, but didn't you think it was just the same jokes? Seriously?

Myers on Letterman once...
by Doctor Cosmic
...and he was explaining how he's part English and was doing his British voice and explaining how he'd talked to someone at a restaurant or something one day in his English accent. And it was the most painful thing I've ever seen. He's a pathetic, washed-up, unfunny guy who long ago let money and fame go to his head. What's left now is a husk of suckitude. He won't make any more movies and will likely end up getting a sitcom for a season down the line. DOc

Mori's 2nd favorite phrase "for me"
by Olsen Twins_Fan
As in: "For me, the movie is about blah blah blah." Then, 3 sentences later: "For me, the best thing in the movie is blah blah blah." You are reviewing the movie, Mori. "For me" is implicit preceding every sentence containing your opinion. And if you absolutely have to use the phrase, try to limit it to once per paragraph.
June 12, 2008, 10:48 a.m. CST
by la_sith
Talk about appealing to the lowest common denominator. Come on, Mor. First with the horrible defense of Crystal Skull, and now this? Jesus Christ. One need only watch the putrid trailer to realize that this is steamy diarrhea. That part when Verne Troyer goes flying into a hockey net? Wooo hahaha! That's GOTTA hurt! <crickets>

mike myers, peter sellers
by zom-bot.com
mike has a good heart though, and as a child inspired by the sixties and early seventies, he wants to pay homage to sellers,make characters and keep a close knit cast of friends and actors in his movies, but where he falls flat is it's all empty.there's no message, no subtley. the things that inspired him were subtley anti-establishment.....and mike's circus is pure 'establishment'. his cast of friends is an empty hollywood circus with nothing to say.
June 12, 2008, 10:53 a.m. CST

if mike really likes verne, the BEST thing he could do for him would be to cast him in the next movie- in a completely, normal, midget-humorless role. it would take balls i don't think mike has anymore.

It's movies, not personal
by toxicbuddha
Damn. Some of y'all got real hate issues with Myers. Hell, if it was about not supporting actors who make shitty films, Harrison Ford would be homeless. He had a run of turds for a hot minute there that feels like it lasted a decade. Bottom line: Once this drops, if it's good I go see it. Last I checked Myers had not fucked my girl or owed me money, so I give him the same shot they all get upon opening night.

Austin Powers trailer
by Rupee88
I have to admit that when I saw it, I said the movie was shit and would never watch it. Then finally saw it and of course the first Austin Powers movie was somewhat funny and clever. So I can't totally write off the Love Guru but the trailer on this was is almost as bad as the Zohan one....I hope this does flop just for the crime of an offensively horrible trailer.

The Cat in the Hat made me want to punch Meyers in the throat.

It's awful and Meyers is incredibly unfunny in it. That movie is an endurance test. See how much you can take before you angrily turn off the tv.

by andrew coleman
Zohan, Panda two comedies already out. This comes out against Get Smart a movie where it's trailers get solid laughs from the audience. I like Myers but I have a feeling this movie is going to get rolled over. June all of a sudden has become heavy with movies. Sure there different: Hulk and Happening are two different genre films. But with so many movies coming out someone is going to be left behind and I think it will be Guru.

The myth that Myers hasn;t done anything in years
by Napoleon Park
so people won't blame him for Cat In a Hat and the Shrek franchise.
The myth that Myers creates great characters that aren't based on British childrens shows, things he saw on public access or his father: because Goldmember was so well flashed out. Those dutchy dutch bastards being so dutch and shit. And those damn baby eating Fat Bastards. Wow, doesn't everyone just hate self loating fat people and the Dutch? What complex characters.
Is everything a damn franchise to this guy? One Austin Powers was enough, One Wayne's world was enough, One Shrek was enough. Enough already, when's the Scotch Tape boutique movie coming out? One of those was enough, too. And the little kid in the bathtub and the hyperactive kid leashed to the playground equipment. Once you tell the joke, we get it. Once is enough.
ACtually ten of fifteen minutes of austin Powers was enough, it was a big budget SNL sketch that went on way too long. He has Michael Caine glasses and bad teeth, we get it. the '60s were sexist, we get it. Once Mimi Rogers in a leather Emma Peel jumpsuit was off screen, what was the point of watching it any more?

by finky089
if it turns out to be as funny and memorable as Austen Powers (the original film), then I'll go see it.
I remember first seeing the commercials for Austin Powers -- I thought it looked absolutely atrocious. Horrifically bad. Made me want to retch. When I finally saw it on video (the thing that existed before DVDs - I mean before On Demand) I thought it was hilarious. Seeing the first commercials for the Love Guru, I felt the same sense of revulsion. Yet, now that I've seen a few clips of it, I'm starting to think I may be in for the same surprise. Who am I kidding - I have a 9 month old baby, I'm never seeing this in the theater -- but I have a feeling it might actually be funny.
June 12, 2008, 12:52 p.m. CST
Just as sad....
by skimn
watching Dana Carvey try to milk laughter from the audience from the Tonight Show crowd last night. I understand his HBO concert is funny, but to watch a comic play to the crowd so desperately is sad to watch.
BTW, I'd like to understand what is this site anyway. Mr. Knowles, you and AICN are synonomous with the movie geek internet explosion over the past decade. I thought it was one of your self-appointed duties to give your views on current movies. So you decide never to see this, based on your reaction to the trailers? "That doesn't look good, I won't bother my time with it.." Ummmm, isn't your "job" to see the good, bad and the ugly?? Too bad Eli Roth didn't direct it.

Yeah I am at work and its a busy day. Having a hard time collection my thoughts. I am probably more like finky089 above, I just would like to see more comedies. And more comedies that attempt to push the boundries, and Myers and Sandler don't do that. Also Myers spells his damn name wrong, a-hole.

Myers seems stuck in the
by skimn
"nudge, nudge, wink, wink" mode of comedy that is almost vaudvillian in nature. Puns, double entendres, wordplay, silly costumes and make-ups, etc. are quaint and goofy, but are they relevent in a comedy in 2008? I know he was inspired by his late father, but I tink it's time to move on.

by UnCoolNews
Regardless of what he might think of the premise, or Mike Myers in general... How can Harry, as the head of a MOVIE NEWS site, swear off *ever* seeing this movie? Fanboys get to swear off movies on principle but I don't understand how someone who wants to be taken seriously as a reviewer can do that. Even if for no other reason than to recognize if some other movie recycles the jokes or if there is anything noteworthy about one of the performances.

I'm glad you like it Mori, but your review also said you inherently liked the character. This is where I feel we're on a different level. I get almost angry every time I see the preview where he says "I am his holiness! The Guru Pitka!" Ugh, I'm pissed off that I even had to type that. The whole idea just stinks to me. I like Romany Malco, and I'd like to fornicate with the women in this movie, but I'll stick to my Wayne's World flicks and the first Austin Powers movie. Mike Myers hasn't been funny in 10 years if you ask me. All his bits at the MTV awards were letdowns that ultimately didn't deliver the way you would want Myers to. Even the Wayne's World reunion was fucking lame. Really Mori? This is a good movie?

Give up the "it's just fun!" crap.
by jimmay
I liked the first Austin Powers movie. . . a lot. I still watch it occasionally on cable. But the second one, with its witless fecal and midget jokes, and, more depressingly, it's insistence on repeating nearly every funny joke from the first film, made it immediately apparent just how stale and uninspired Mike Myers really is. My friends disagreed with me at the time, but by the third one, they admitted how pitifully self-cannibalistic the whole ugly mess of his career had become. If some of us act like we personally hate Myers, it's because some of his work has been so painfully unfunny it's insulting. I fucking love a good comedy. Big Lebowski, Office Space, Anchorman, the Airplane films, Dr. Strangelove, hell, even Borat made the top of my ten best list in 2006. But none of those movies make me feel like a moron for laughing at them. Just because you think McDonalds food is crap, doesn't mean you don't "get" burgers, it means you know what a good burger tastes like.
June 12, 2008, 8:03 p.m. CST
And the Kanye West thing.
by jimmay
I agree West's comment, though fundamentally true, was wholly inappropriate. What was telling about the exchange was how terrified Myers looked. "Oh my God he said something controversial!!" His terrified eyes screamed. The man has no balls whatsoever. I would have just started laughing at Kanye, but, then again, I don't think that someone mistaking a stool sample for coffee is the Zenith of human comedy.

Why do midgets allow themselves to be humiliated?
by Nasty In The Pasty
Yeah, they don't exactly get offered big, juicy dramatic roles, but honestly...it's like black actors doing that "shuck & jive" Panicky Black Guy shit. Show some fucking self-respect and say NO when you're offered these demeaning "look at the funny small man!" roles. I'm reminded of Peter Dinklage's hilarious scene in Living In Oblivion, "When was the last time you had a dream with a dwarf in it? *I* don't have dreams with dwarves in them. 'Oh look, it's a dwarf, she must be having a fucking dream...!'"

The Abduction of Carlie Brucia
An Addict's Story
Joe Smith said drugs made him do itthat he hadn't been himself on Feb. 1 after shooting up a pure, potent strain of cocaine.
But then, Smith hadn't been himself for most of his adult life.
He was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on March 17, 1966. Drugs and depression took hold early.
Smith said he was a heroin addict by age 19, but he was catholic in his narcotics habitscocaine, crack, prescription opiate painkillers, speed.
He was a passable auto mechanic and was employed as often as not. But he had no self-control when it came to narcotics, and drug benders ended one job and one relationship after another.
Depression became his foil, the convenient enemy he could blame for his drug problem. But which came first, the addiction or the depression? In either case, his life entered a well-worn rut and stayed there.
After struggling with crack in New York in the 1980s, he tried to get a fresh start by moving to Florida in 1991. It didn't work.
He narrowly survived an overdose in 1993, and he spent most of the following decade in jail, on probation or in drug rehab, according to a profile by Brian Haas of the Bradenton, Fla., Herald. Between lockups, he managed to marry Castrillon and father three daughters.
In many ways, Smith embodied the American criminal justice dilemma over narcotics.
He was arrested more than a dozen times in Florida, mostly for felony drug violations. Under the law, he could have been locked up for long stretches. But again and again, he was allowed to plead no contest in exchange for probation, community supervision, house arrest or mandatory drug rehab.
At times, Smith was a functioning member of society, with a home, a family and a job. Probation officers seemed to like him; they wrote hopeful reports on his progress. And when he fell off the wagon, Smith often managed to convince a judge that he deserved another shot.
And he got plenty of them.

So I opened up the candy shop last Friday. I made some chocolate suckers for a very special little girl's 1st birthday party. My BFF (Jess) had her little girl's (Anna Mae) 1st birthday party at my house on Saturday. It was so much fun, and the party was just beautiful. I am planning to post more about the party later on in the week.
I volunteered to make chocolate suckers for the party favors. Jess was my assistant candy maker, and we had a blast. There was a lot of snickering and snorting going on. It was a candy-a-thon that lasted about 6 hours.
First, we melted the colored chocolate using my warming tray.
Using a paint brush, we painted in the detailed areas of the party hat mold. Then we popped the mold into the freezer to get hard.
After we removed the mold from the freezer, we filled the rest of the mold with chocolate. We added the sucker sticks, and then back into the freezer they went.
The party hat mold had three holes on the front. So we put a small dot of the melted chocolate in the hole, and then placed a M & M on top of it.
We tied up the suckers with the cutest red and white bakers twine. Jess's husband made a tag with a picture of Anna Mae on it. They used the same picture for the invitations. I had two small yellow flower pots that we used to display the suckers. We just stuck some florist foam down in the pots, and then stuck the suckers into the foam. We used some shredded green paper to cover the florist foam.
I just love the bright colors of the candy. These are the most detailed suckers that I have made to date. I am so proud of them, and it was so much fun having Jess help me make them. Maybe candy making is my true calling?!

We have traveled extensively throughout North America and Europe, been to many tourist attractions, and can honestly say this place was worth the price of admission. In fact, we were a little skeptical about visiting because in our experience, what do you get for $11? Well, what a pleasant surprise. Wildlife in its natural setting abounds! We saw Sea Lions, 6 different types of birds, and even saw what we were told were Grey Whales feeding off the ocean bottom. The views were incredible, lighthouse to the north along the rugged coast. The cave, which is gigantic, is the reason the wildlife is there and continues to stay unbothered by humans. We applaud the owners and staff for protecting this natural setting and keeping prices to a minimum. Two-Thumbs-Way-Up![Rodger Milner, 06/18/2009]
I couldn't believe the negative comments re: Sea Lion Caves. How many sea lion caves are there where you can view up close these sea lions lounging and resting? Definitely worth the money and seeing.[h broer, 08/10/2007]
It's just not worth the money. My tip: Park along the road and look... you can see the sea lions for free in Spring and Summer! The cave is too dark for photos and your too far away to see much anyhow. Not to mention they don't allow photos inside the cave as it may "scare the animals."[Molly, 07/09/2007]
Sea Lion Caves is a genuine natural area; it is not really of the hokey variety that many hope to see for fun. Still, for the amateur naturalist, it probably provides the best opportunity to see the threatened Steller Sea Lion (the bigest kind) in the wild. Views from cliffs and in the cave, especially with minimal optical magnification such as binoculars, are quite good, and the occasional great whale or orca sighting spices up the proceedings. Fair gift shop. A good stop along the Oregon Coast. Self-guided, worth our family's time and $$.[Bruce Jensen, 02/26/2005]
Along the coast line in Florence there's a gift shop and info center. After digging through all the cheezy gifts and funny bumper stickers, you are led to an elevator that lowers you into a GIANT cave full of Sea Lions. It's a bit noisy, but worth the trip. Hundreds of Sea Lions venture into this cave to rest after feeding. Very cool.[Tara Potter, 11/10/2001]
We were personally disappointed -- it's just a big sea cave hollowed into a cliffside where sea lions like to sleep. The tourguide never let us close enough to the sea lions to get a decent photo. It's always cold and miserable. Still, Sea Lion Caves is popular among young nature-minded families, and the Pacific Coast is notoriously short on commercial caves...

Reigning cruiserweight world champion Tomasz Adamek moved up to heavyweight to face fellow Polish superstar Andrew Golota today in Lodz, and from the opening bell, he dominated.
Adamek, fighting at 214 pounds, had a 42-pound disadvantage on the scales. But he outhustled, outworked, and busted up the 41-year old Golota, stopping him in the fifth round. Adamek scored a knockdown that appeared to be a shove in the first, but dominated every round until flooring Golota hard early in the fifth, on a right hand followed by a left hook. After a storm of power shots from every angle, referee Bill Clancy called a stop to the action.
Adamek (39-1, 27 KO) seemed to indicate after the bout that he will be moving up to heavyweight, where I think now he might have a lot more in him than I did before. I'm not saying beating Golota means a ton, but he can still fight some, and moves better than most guys do at heavyweight, even now. Adamek against someone like Eddie Chambers or Alexander Povetkin could be a hell of a good fight. He's simply not big enough to beat a Klitschko, and I think eventually a big hitter like Cristobal Arreola might catch him with a knockout blow, but he fought with some serious ferocity today and knocked the hell out of a much larger man.
For Golota (41-8-1, 33 KO), this was probably the end of the line. He hasn't been a serious contender in quite a long time, and this might have been a good way for him to cash out his career. He got a truck full of money for this one, and he fought until he just couldn't go anymore. Not the worst way for a career to end when you've had so many bizarre messes as he has.
Adamek thinks he can beat the world's best at heavyweight. Time will tell, I suppose, but best of luck to him. Adamek is one of those no-nonsense fighters that does his job time after time, and today he did it again.
