61% of Endorsed Candidates Elected!Continue reading → Add your reaction Share
A big thank you goes out to everyone who voted for the Better Choices candidates, and who worked so hard to encourage your fellow union members, family, and neighbours to do the same. We now have progressive Mayors of all three of our cities in Waterloo Region, and a progressive Regional Chair. Better Choices Waterloo Region and our Labour Council played a big part in making that happen! We helped elect 23 out of the 38 (61%) candidates we endorsed. An additional three progressive people who sought but did not receive our endorsement were also elected.
See the table below to see how our endorsed candidates fared.

Kellogg's Moves Ontario Plants To China
[text borrowed from the inter-web!]
This has been on our agenda since recently hearing of the closing of the Kellogg's breakfast cereal plant in London, Ontario and moving it to China.
Some of us have decided we do not want to consume any food products made in China or for that matter any food products made outside of Canada or the United States. There are some exceptions such as cheese from England & Europe, Olives from Italy etc.
We have also expanded this to any products we can avoid not made in North America. This is hard to do especially in electronics. This is something we should have paid attention to 30 years or more ago, but we are now, never too late, one person, one step at a time.
Please read the article below. I believe the shop Canadian should be priority one and shop North American priority two (no offence to our friends in other countries, but you should shop your own countries products).

Flights to San Francisco
Aalesund Airport, Vigra
As the only airport with scheduled international flights and terminal areas between Trondheim and Bergen, Aalesund Airport is experiencing consistent growth in international flights. Flights from Aalesund can be reserved in advance in Orbitz.com to guarantee good seating arrangements, good prices, and hassle-free transactions. The airport is located on the island of Vigra, approximately 11 miles from the center of Aalesund, and is connected to the city via a number of undersea tunnels. Among the airlines servicing the airport are Norwegian Air Shuttle, airBaltic, Scandinavian Airlines, Sky Airlines and Sun Air.
Parking at the Airport
Aalesund Airport's parking facility is divided into two classes: the business parking lot, located nearest to the terminal, and the financial parking lot, located farther back. Both parking lots offer short- and long-term parking options, with the business parking lot providing easy access to the terminal but costing more than the financial parking lot.
Transportation to the Airport
The airport shuttle bus leaves the airport after every arrival (about every 25 minutes) and runs to the city center and Moa. Each trip to the city center costs NOK 80. Traveling by taxi is fast but can be more expensive than taking the shuttle bus. Fares from the city center to the airport start at a range of NOK 330 to 340.
Restaurants at the Airport
Passengers waiting for their flights can choose between Café Clinic and Point located inside the security check in the departure hall. A wide selection of hot and cold plates, refreshments and snacks can fill an empty stomach before boarding your plane. Book flights from Aalesund using Orbitz.com and find air ticket deals and other great traveler discounts.

If you're traveling on a strict budget, you can find bargain prices on tickets by booking your flight through Orbitz.com.

SamTrans Public Bus Services also runs between the airport and downtown. Bus stops are located at the baggage claim in Terminals 2 and 3, and at Courtyard A in the International Terminal. You can also use Orbitz.com to rent a car for the duration of your trip. The airport offers a free shuttle service to take passengers from the airport terminal to the rental car center.
Weather in San Francisco
San Francisco has temperatures that range from 46 to 69 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year. The off-peak travel season runs from the beginning of December to the end of February. It rains more frequently during this time, but the temperature is still warm enough to tolerate the rain.

More frequently, film sequels do not usually do well and can even tarnish the reputation of the first box office hit. However, there are exceptions wherein fans clamor for more updates, changing lone movies into a franchise success.
Reuters/Kieran Doherty
Actors portraying Darth Vader and Storm Troopers arrive for the UK premiere of the Star Wars film Revenge of the Sith in London
Here are 5 movies that decided to go for a sequel and somehow succeeded.
1. "Star Wars"
George Lucas created the film series, which consist of two trilogies. The first film was released in 1977 and the franchise has grown considerably through the decades, becoming one of the most famous films of all time. One of the main reasons why the sequels have become a huge success is because of the "Star Wars" galaxy and a great storyline where adults and children alike can relate to different characters. "Star Wars VII" is in the works and said to launch in 2017.
2. "Alien"
The first film was featured in 1979. It was created by Ridley Scott and featured an extraterrestrial being that attacked a spaceship crew. Many fans loved the movie and it became a box office hit, spurring the creations of sequels "Aliens" in 1986, "Alien 3" in 1992 and "Alien Resurrection" in 1997. A collaboration with another successful film "Predators" was also made in the hit "Aliens vs. Predator."
3. "Resident Evil"
The film series was based on the popular video game and is known to be a pioneer of zombie movies. The first film was released in 2002 and starred Milla Jovovich. The movie was warmly received by fans, spurring the creation of more sequels namely "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" in 2002, "Resident Evil: Extinction" in 2007, "Resident Evil: Afterlife" in 2010 and "Resident Evil: Retribution" in 2012. In a report by Screenrant.com, the sixth movie in the series will still star Milla Jovovich and is expected to launch in 2015.
4. "Meet the Parents"
The 2000 comedy was a hit among movie fans because of the unique relationship that the lead character, played by Ben Stiller, had with his in-laws. Many people could easily relate with the family dynamics, spurring the creation of sequels "Meet the Fockers" in 2004 and "Little Fockers" in 2010.
5. "American Pie"
The teen series featured the life and struggles of the lead actor, played by Jason Biggs, from his high school days until he reaches his 30s. The first film was shown in 1999 and was a pop culture success. "American Pie 2" was released in 2001 and "American Wedding" was released in 2003. The fourth film, "American Reunion," was released in 2012. According to Metro, the series remained popular especially with fans who also grew along with the cast of the movie.

Will the 6412 record scheduled items when the power is off? I noticed when I turn it back on, there's no buffer recorded, so I wasn't sure.

Buying certain cheap Magpul
Buying certain cheap Magpul things from Amazon is not worth the risk, as you seem to just randomly get the training/airsoft versions and/or knock-offs. I would not buy anything Magpul that has both a training and real version at all, and after that, only buy from Amazon directly.
Lots of people don't even notice, because the Magpul training line is still nicer than most generic stuff out there, and some of the knock-offs are really pretty good as well. But it's still not what it is supposed to be, and I don't want to drop my rifle or compromise its function with some knock-off piece of shit.
Until Amazon can get their shit together and stop letting their sellers sell training and fakes under the real item posting, it's not worth it.
I've seen some people
I've seen some people complain that amazon sold them a counterfeit passed off as a magpul, so after i bought an M3 with paraclip from amazon, i checked that the right parts had magpul stamped on them which it did. so i was relieved. but now that i know there's an airsoft version that looks identical, i will have to send magpul an email to find out how to spot the differences between a real magpul from their airsoft version. my packaging says it's made in the usa and mentions nothing about being for airsofts.
As for this particular M3 with the QD, there is no airsoft version that i've seen. so i took the gamble and ordered it.
FYI - Careful of these lowest

Difficult Friday for Felipe Massa after crash
Jun 28, 2013, 3:15 PM EST
Felipe Massa has experienced another difficult start to a grand prix weekend after crashing during the second free practice session for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone today.
The Brazilian driver was the last classified driver to post a time during FP1, with most opting to remain in the pits due to the adverse weather conditions. Massa finished P11 with a time of 2:06.534, which gave the Ferrari team very little data to work with and subsequently placed extra importance on the second session in the afternoon.
However, Massa's FP2 run came to an abrupt end after completing just seven laps on the drying track. After braking into Stowe, Massa got back on the power a little too quickly through the sweeping right-hander, resulting in a very long slide. Unable to correct the mistake, the Ferrari helplessly crashed into the wall near pit entry, ruining the front end of the car and ending Massa's session there and then.
Speaking about the incident, Massa made no secret of his disappointment after a fourth crash in three races.
"I am very disappointed about what happened today as the accident cost me valuable time, especially in terms of getting an understanding of the tire behaviour here at Silverstone," Massa explained in a team statement.
"At the exit of the corner, I found myself on a piece of track that was still very damp and I lost control of the car. Luckily, the car only suffered slight front end damage and tomorrow we will comfortably be able to pick up where we left off with the work."
Massa has failed to finish on the podium at the British Grand Prix in his ten previous attempts, and this setback could put paid to any chances he has this weekend.

Page is a WIP at the bottom of my page~
Hello worthless mortals, welcome to my page, thanks for stalking it ya weirdo. Anyway, names Kumori, but by my username, you can call me Code! But most people call me~"Asshole"! 8D. Basically I'm just your lazy homeschooled teenage anime fanatic, cartoonist, that lives off on hyped anime, a life time of video games and food also has a collection of yaoi fanfiction, heee. If you could tell, my specialty is Drawing, Animating, Making AMV's and from time to time, I make stories, but to be fair, I'm not very good at it.
In fact, I suck at it. During my free time, I play the piano, whether it be video game covers, anime covers, or just classics, I enjoy playing!~; soon I'll be learning how to play the violin as well. I have varieties of favorite music genres. I'm into Glitch Hop, Drum and Bass, Classical music, 90's music, Metal and Rock, as well as a touch of Dubstep. I'm well known for my blunt personality and non sugar coated critiques, and always yappin-or rather typing, never knowing when to just shut up. But once you get to know me, I'm quite nice! So don't be shy talking to me. If you like the art you see, feel free to give a fav, or who knows, a watch!

Smart, funny, blunt, very kind, but with limits, everything to love about a person ;;u;; we have our bad times, disagreements sure, but that's part of great friendships, besides we always "bro it out" in the end We're like an unbreakable bond, she's the spongebob to my patrick, the mexican to my taco, the booty to my cheek-you get the point!

Welcome to the first general introduction to issue 2 of the Inspirational project from The Textile Blog. As promised, this article will give some details as to the artists involved in this second issue, which includes the disciplines of ceramics, painting, 3D/basketry, glass, and textiles.
I am extremely grateful and thankful that the eight artists involved in this second issue of Inspirational have agreed to take part as enthusiastically as the original eight artists in issue 1. I personally feel privileged to include the artists and their work within the Inspirational project and know that they will add significantly to this new venture.
The eight artists featured in issue 2 are, India Flint, Sarah Purvey, Deidre Adams, Meredith Woolnough, Sue Hotchkis, Karen Gubitz, F. E. Clark, Jonathan Fuller. The list is purposely varied, bringing together a range of disciplines, personal perspectives, and geographical locations. What all hold in common of course is that they are all inspirational and aspirational artists that take their unique view of the world and pass that through to their work.
This particular article also reveals the cover of the second issue of Inspirational, which I am sure will become very familiar between now and the release date of issue 2. The cover features the work of the artist F. E. Clark and seems a perfect fit for the projection of the magazine and the project in general.
This second issue of Inspirational will be on sale from January 14, 2015. From now until then there will be regular updates and publicity for this second issue.
I would also like to take the opportunity to thank all of those out there who both bought and helped to promote the first issue of Inspirational, you know who you are! Without your selfless assistance and boundless enthusiasm, there would never have been an issue 2, and for that, I will always be grateful. Thank you!

ITHACA, N.Y., April 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- GrammaTech, Inc., a leading maker of tools that improve and accelerate embedded software development, today announced the commercial availability of CodeSonar 4, the latest version of the company's flagship software analysis tool for C/C++, Java, and machine code. Designed to meet the growing challenges of embedded app developers, CodeSonar 4 includes new capabilities for analyzing third-party code, achieving standards compliance, eliminating challenging multi-core issues, and improving code security by addressing dangerous information flows. CodeSonar advances the state of the art in automated code analysis to help embedded development teams improve code quality and security while accelerating time-to-market.
"The cost of failure in embedded systems is unlike that of any other industry due to the safety-critical role they play in our everyday lives - which is a main reason organizations who build embedded applications are early adopters of automated advanced code analysis tools like CodeSonar," said Andre Girard, Senior Analyst at VDC. "Teams that leverage innovative technology to tackle the pressing challenges of embedded software development today such as the use of third-party code, compliance with standards, and the complexity of concurrency can realize significant business and competitive advantages."
Designed for zero-tolerance defect environments, CodeSonar analyzes binary code and source code, to identify serious security and quality liabilities that cause system crashes, memory corruption, leaks, data races, and other unexpected vulnerabilities. New advances in CodeSonar 4 address:
- Software Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) – New Integrated Binary Analysis in CodeSonar 4 empowers developers to analyze externally produced software without access to its source code. This eliminates the dangerous quality and security blind spots created by using open source or third-party components and libraries in embedded applications.
- Standards Compliance – The increasing regulation of embedded software in the form of industry-specific standards for code quality/security continues to gain international momentum. CodeSonar 4 will include built-in analysis for MISRA C 2012, in addition to existing DO-178 analysis capabilities, to help organizations pursue and achieve relevant certifications.
- Multi-Core Development – With growing usage of multi-core processors and greater dependence on multi-threaded software, CodeSonar 4 delivers new Java-specific concurrency defect detection capabilities to defend against errors like race conditions, deadlocks, and livelocks.
- Embedded Security – As networking and internet-enabled capabilities continue to proliferate within embedded systems, the attack surface of traditionally isolated applications has expanded in new and unpredictable ways. In addition to robust existing security features, the new visual tainted-data analysis capability in CodeSonar 4 helps developers find and eliminate vulnerabilities caused by potentially dangerous information flows.
"CodeSonar 4 is the automated code analysis tool designed specifically for the rigorous security and quality demands of embedded software," said Paul Anderson, Vice President of Engineering at GrammaTech. "CodeSonar 4 will address the most complex challenges facing embedded developers by using new analysis capabilities to eliminate the most costly and hard to find defects early in the application development lifecycle."
To learn more about how CodeSonar 4 accelerates, improves, and secures the production of embedded software, download GrammaTech's new white paper 'Embedded Software Design: Best Practices for Static Analysis Tools.'
About GrammaTech:
GrammaTech tools are used by software developers worldwide, spanning a myriad of embedded software industries including avionics, government, medical, military, industrial control, and other applications where reliability and security are paramount. Originally developed within Cornell University, GrammaTech is now a leading research center for software security and a commercial vendor of software-assurance tools and advanced cyber-security solutions.

Baron Davis returns to practice, but can his ailing back bear New York's wildest expectations?
Jan 23, 2012, 4:38 PM EST
Abandon all expectations ye who enter here: alleged Knicks savior Baron Davis is officially playing basketball again.
Davis underwent a full practice for the first time since signing with New York in December, and according to the Associated Press, the team hopes he'll be available for his regular season debut at some point during the team's four-game road trip. Even if that's the case, expectations of Davis' performance should be tempered and suppressed, if not outright smothered. Davis has always been an impressive playmaker, but it will take him time to adjust to the speed of NBA basketball again and more time yet to adjust to the frenetic schedule of a lockout-shortened season.
Even then, Baron is only Baron; he may be a better set-up man than any one else on the Knicks roster, but that doesn't mean his prolonged presence on the court will necessarily be a net positive. Will Davis fire up ill-advised three after ill-advised three? Will he give the Knicks some much-needed order? Will he compound the defensive problems caused by Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire? Will he really ride in on a unicorn to run simultaneous pick-and-rolls with Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler while still getting Anthony the shots he wants?
Davis is still capable of being a solid player, but it's best for all involved if his potential play is treated as a long-shot hope. The Knicks are in trouble. That much has been made crystal clear with the team's offensive idling, the apparent incompatibility of Stoudemire and Anthony, and the New York's ongoing six-game losing streak. But as many have warned before me, putting too much pressure on Davis' shoulders will only result in disappointment.
Hear, hear, Knicks fans: celebrate if Davis pans out as a nice addition. Shake your head and shrug if things go, sadly, as expected. He has a chance to improve this team, but nothing in Davis' recent career points to him as being capable of bearing a burden as heavy as saving a middling franchise. Either way, we're ticking closer and closer to Boom Day, and the weeks and months that will define this core's immediate future.

The season started on the 25th of December and it's the 23rd of Jan so that means it hasn't been a full month of basketball played yet… I believe they're still in 2nd behind the Sixers so let's wait and see.

I remember b-diddy use to have so much swagger if he is half the player he used to be then thats good. however i know that a bad back is a career ending type injury so i dont expect to much.

See 'The Perfect House' Free This Weekend
You may have heard or read about an on-demand platform for streaming movies called FlickLaunch, an alternative to traditional distribution that uses Facebook as its interface. FlickLaunch is promoting the platform through advance theatrical screenings of the horror/thriller The Perfect House, including a free screening here in Austin that includes filmmaker Kris Hulbert and actors Andrea Vahl and William Robertson in attendance. We have some reserved seats to give away -- keep reading to find out more.
Not surprisingly, Austin is the first city of the 30-city The Perfect House tour complete with a bus and a "reality-style tour." Why start with Austin? Co-director and writer Kris Hulbert said, "When we came up with the idea to hit the open road and host screenings around the country, the Alamo Drafthouse was immediately at the top of our list. The Drafthouse goes hand-in-hand with high quality independent entertainment and provides the perfect location to start our tour!"
The Perfect House is a horror anthology consisting of three separate stories ("The Storm," "Chic-ken" and "Dinner Guest"), which reveal that a young couple's dream house has a very dark past. It's every homeowner's fear that their ideal home will turn into a money pit, but in the case of The Perfect House, Hulbert's story turns it into a real nightmare.
FlickLaunch will allow filmmakers to capitalize on social media strategies, from promoting films through fan pages to allowing filmmakers to give away free views -- paid views will cost between $1-5. A FlickLaunch app has been developed for the iPad and plans are to develop apps for Android and iPhone.
Photo Essay: Blood and Bones at Drafthouse Sneak Previews
Austin film fans were treated to two very special events last week as the Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar hosted advance screenings with special guests for both Fright Night and Conan the Barbarian.
At the Fright Night screening, stars Dave Franco, Anton Yelchin and Christopher Mintz-Plasse showed up for a post-movie Q&A, as shown in the above photo.
Mintz-Plasse, who was in Austin for his third Drafthouse premiere (Superbad and Kick-Ass were #1 & #2, respectively) dominated the Q&A with the comfort and confidence born of familiarity with Austin audiences, while Yelchin and Franco were generally more shy and reserved, as you can see in the following picture.
Slacker 2011: The Zellners Drop Stuff from Bridges
In celebration of Slacker's 20th anniversary, local filmmakers are re-creating scenes from the Richard Linklater movie for Slacker 2011, a fundraising project benefitting the Texas Filmmakers Production Fund (TFPF). As we await the August 31 premiere, we're chatting with some of the filmmakers participating in one or more of the short films that will comprise the project -- check out our interviews so far.
Today's interview is with David Zellner. David and Nathan Zellner are an Austin filmmaking team -- they're brothers -- who have brought us such comically twisted short films as Sasquatch Birth Journal 2, Aftermath on Meadowlark Lane and Quasar Hernandez (available online). They also wrote and directed the feature Goliath, which played SXSW in 2008 and is now on DVD.
Slackerwood: Which scene from the film did you reshoot?
David Zellner: The jilted boyfriend throwing his typewriter/tent off a bridge.
Photo Essay: 'Spy Kids' at the Long Center
The Long Center was transformed into a carnival setting and red carpet on Saturday, August 13, for the gala premiere of the Austin-shot movie Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D. Austin Film Society hosted this benefit screening for the Dell Children's Medical Center and the Texas Filmmakers' Production Fund.
The attendees for the event included not only a lot of very happy kids but also filmmaker Robert Rodriguez, producer Elizabeth Avellan, new Spy Kids Rowan Blanchard and Mason Cook, and the original Spy Kids, Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara, who are also in this fourth installment in the series. I was out of town and missed the whole thing, sadly, but fortunately AFS has published a lot of great photos from the event, some of which I'm happy to share here.
Why the Long Center? I found out when I saw Spy Kids 4 this weekend (my review). In the movie, the exterior of the secret spy headquarters is in fact the Long Center. My guess is that it was very convincing for people who don't live in Austin; I thought it was amusing myself.
Check out the whole AFS photo set from the premiere on Flickr. For another viewpoint on the day, you might enjoy reading AFS intern Lauren Hill's behind-the-scenes account.
Shameless Self Promotion: Vote for This SXSW 2012 Panel
This is the second year SXSW has opened up the Panel Picker for its annual film conference, a tool that allows people to submit proposals for panels and other conference events. It's an ingenious way for the festival to vet proposals; instead of the staff or advisory panel coming up with all the ideas, anyone with a keyboard and an internet connection can submit a proposal, which is then voted on by the public, which gets a lofty 30 percent of the decision power. This is no small thing, since those who plan on attending the conference have the opportunity to weigh in on what they feel is relevant and keep the topics fresh. The only downside is that there are many panel proposals to read and decide among.
So please allow me to direct your attention to a Slackerwood-inspired panel: Removing Barriers Between Press, PR, and Producers, submitted by yours truly. The original idea for the panel happened during SXSW 2011, when I surprised a producer of a great little film by mentioning that Slackerwood gets mileage out of reviews far beyond festivals. In some cases, we get serious spikes in page views more than a year after a review was posted.
For example, this month one of our top traffic-getting pages is a review of Main Street, which screened at Austin Film Festival last year and is about to get a limited theatrical and VOD release. Our list of top ten pages for 2010 includes a review of AFF 2010 selection DMI: The Spirit Molecule and also my review of AFF 2009 film The Donner Party. Cummings Farm may have been renamed All American Orgy but my AFF 2009 review was still being read by many, over a year after I saw the movie.
Review: Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D
I remember the delighted surprise of seeing the original Spy Kids with a friend one Sunday afternoon ten years ago. I didn't know who Robert Rodriguez was, didn't know much about the Austin film scene at all, but we'd heard the movie was fun even for grownups and gave it a try. It was a little silly with a few eye-rollingly juvenile jokes but much better than we'd expected. And the problem I've had subsequent Spy Kids movies has been that they simply don't measure up to the experience of the first.
Possibly if I were nine years old and hadn't watched any of the previous movies in the series, I might enjoy watching Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D. Not being in those circumstances, I can't be sure. But I think even my childhood self would get impatient and annoyed by the last 30 minutes of the film. On the other hand, my grownup self quite liked the first 20 minutes or so and is sorry the movie couldn't sustain that tone.
Also, I was disappointed by a shocking lack of Danny Trejo, who is billed high on IMDb for this movie but appears in a single blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment.
Review: Conan the Barbarian
Joining the ranks of this summer's excellent slate of reboots, rehashes and reimaginings is Marcus Nispel's movie Conan the Barbarian, a 3D adventure starring Jason Momoa, Stephen Lang, Rachel Nichols, Ron Perlman and Rose McGowan. With a story little resembling that of the 1982 hit that made Arnold Schwarzenegger a household name, the 2011 Conan the Barbarian could best be described as a total reboot. This is not a bad thing, after all -- no sense fixing what was never broken.
The movie begins with a Morgan Freeman Patented Voiceover explaining the backstory about ancient sorcerers, their war with the barbarian tribes and a prophecy about a great warrior born on the field of battle. The first third of the film is therefore an origin story modeled on Robert E. Howard's writings with Ron Perlman as Conan's blacksmith father. Perlman's work here is outstanding, the best acting in the film and perhaps the best of his career.
After the pillaging of Conan's village and the murder of his tribe, Conan the Barbarian jumps 15 years, and Jason Momoa is finally introduced. His is a better image of Conan than Arnold gave us: more catlike, more intelligent and closer to the barbarian described by Howard's original works. The rest of the movie is concerned with his quest to track down and kill the warlord Khalar Zym (Stephen Lang), who murdered Conan's father, as well as the other warriors involved.
Nispel shows off his skills as an action director here with a solid fight sequence in almost every scene. Little time is wasted in exposition or idle conversation. This is, however, unfortunately one of those films that gains nothing from being shot in 3D except for the rich detail of Momoa's bare ass in one brief sex scene. The only place 3D was used to any effect was in the opening titles.
Movies This Week: One Barbarian Spy Night
As the summer movie season draws to a close and schools start up again, we still have some very good new movies opening in Austin this week, both indies and Hollywood films.
In addition, Texas Filmmakers Production Fund panelists are in Austin this weekend and Austin Film Society is hosting screenings of their films. On Sunday night, you can see a selection of short films from Barry Jenkins, followed by Ian Olds' documentary Fixer: The Taking of Ajmal Naqshbandi. AFS is also bringing Josh and Ben Safdie to town to screen Daddy Longlegs on Monday night and short films on Wednesday. If you want some classic comedies, the Long Center has a Cult Classics series that features movies such as Animal House and The Princess Bride. But my favorite cult movie of the week is at Alamo's Music Monday: Repo Man. Afterward, go get some sushi and not pay.
Movies We've Seen:
- Conan the Barbarian -- "Stargate Atlantis and Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa lives, loves and slays at the box office this weekend in the gorgeous nonstop action reboot of Conan the Barbarian." Or so Mike tells me. Look for his review this weekend. (wide)
- Fright Night -- Mike says in his review that although this is a remake of the 1985 film, it's "original, smart, exciting and funny" and one of the most entertaining movies of the summer. It's showing in 3D and 2D -- I've heard the images are a little dark for the 3D to be effective. I've also heard David Tennant is marvelous, but you knew that. (wide)
- The Guard -- Don Cheadle and Brendan Gleeson star in this Irish buddy-cop comedy, and Don says their chemistry and dialogue are the best parts of this slow-paced but rewarding movie. Read his review for more details. (Arbor, Violet Crown)
- The Whistleblower -- Rod came out of this screening pissed off ... not at the movie itself but at the inhumanity so realistically portrayed in it. To find out more, check out his review. (Arbor)
Fantastic Fest Reveals More Movies and a New Director
The seventh annual Fantastic Fest is just over a month away, and the anticipation is building, especially with the newly announced second wave of programming.
What stands out the most for me is the announcement that Alamo Drafthouse veteran Kristen Bell is officially the Fantastic Fest Director. If you've ever spent any time at the South Lamar Alamo, you've probably seen Kristen (not to be confused with the star of Veronica Mars) as General Manager, taking care of business and making sure guests have a good experience. She's been an integral part of making Fantastic Fest a success in years past. Fantastic Fest co-founder Tim League said, "We are all excited to have Kristen assume this expanded role at the festival and look forward to working with her to continue to improve what is undoubtedly my favorite eight days of the year." Congratulations, Kristen!
As deserving as Kristen is, you're probably more interested in hearing about what's going to be onscreen and not behind the scenes at next month's fest. The second wave of titles includes 17 new world, North America and U.S. premiere films, including a special vintage program of Asian Grindhouse titles called "Movies on Fire: Hong Kong Action Classics," which will be introduced by New York Asian Film Festival's Grady Hendrix. The first wave was announced in July.
Review: Fright Night
This summer's movies have included a number of remakes, revisits and reimaginings. The latest of these, opening this weekend, are Conan the Barbarian (look for my review this weekend) and Fright Night, Craig Gillespie's take on the 1985 suburban vampire hit. Newcomers will love this horror-comedy set on the outskirts of Las Vegas, and fans of the original should have no complaints.
This remake was in good hands as Gillespie has a short but sweet resume with the Ryan Gosling hit Lars and the Real Girl, Mr. Woodcock, and a number of episodes of United States of Tara. Handling the screenplay was Marti Noxon, who is no stranger to vampires after writing for Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer in addition to a number of other TV series, and she did a fantastic job. Her script echoes the 1985 source but takes surprising and unexpected turns.
Not the least of these is the reimagining of Peter Vincent as portrayed by David Tennant. While Tennant has similar voice and facial features to Roddy McDowall, as well as the energy and British accent, this Peter Vincent is a rock star at the peak of his career as opposed to McDowall's older foundering TV host. Tennant is reported to have visited Las Vegas to watch Criss Angel, and his performance here is at times an unflattering caricature of the performer, but perfect for the story as written. Tennant fans will find this a treat and a glimpse of what we can expect from him post-Doctor Who.
Anton Yelchin as the teenage hero of the movie, Charley Brewster, is the focus of the story. Having just "grown up" and traded in his nerdy best friend Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), Charley tries being part of the jock crowd to impress his girlfriend Amy (Imogen Poots). After a few people have gone missing, Ed approaches with wild stories about Charley's new neighbor, and then the action begins. While 1985's Fright Night involved a slower build up, Gillespie's hits hard and doesn't stop, making for a more exciting while only slightly less suspenseful update.
