Drumwright honored by Henricus
George T. Drumwright, Jr. may have retired from his position as deputy county manager for Henrico.
But on Sept. 14, Drumwright's friends at Henricus Historical Park let him know emphatically that he will not be allowed to retire from his role as a Henricus Foundation board member and long-time volunteer.
At a reception honoring Drumwright and celebrating the opening of 2012 Publick Days, friends, family, colleagues and fellow members of the Henricus Foundation Board of Trustees gathered to dedicate the Drumwright Education Fund, a component of the Henricus Annual Fund that will enable the Foundation to expand interactive history program offerings for students.
Drumwright's colleagues also presented him with gifts and mementos, and spoke at length about his 25 years of contributions to the park.
Henricus Executive Director Charles Lewis Grant pointed out that when Drumwright first became involved, the park was just a place "covered in vines."
Today, Henricus boasts a dozen re-created colonial structures, including a hospital, parsonage, tobacco barn and planter's house.
"But it's not just about the buildings," emphasized John Siddall, chairman of the Henricus Foundation. "It's about the 25,000 schoolchildren that come through here every year."
And the Drumwright Education Fund, added Grant, will help students from the most disadvantaged schools gain access to park programs.
"If they can't get here," said Grant, "we go to them."
Jurisdictional cooperation
Siddall, who led off his remarks by telling Drumwright, "The first thing I want to say is you are not retiring from here," also praised Drumwright's role in supporting the partnership between Chesterfield and Henrico counties that has helped made the park so successful.
Through a fluke of history, said Siddall, both counties own land in Henricus -- even though today's park lies south of the James River in what is technically Chesterfield.
During the Civil War, Union troops began digging a new channel near the James so they could bypass Confederate fortifications that blocked approaches to Richmond. The new channel, completed after the war, left a part of Henrico across the river — surrounded by water.
"Because of this, we benefit," said Siddall, "and not only because we have this beautiful bluff. We also benefit from a great partnership between Chesterfield and Henrico; we get the support of both counties."
Ken Perry, former chairman of the board, noted that Drumwright had first visited the site in 1977. "I visited this site in 1985," said Perry, "and we both saw the same things: a bunch of trees and a beautiful river view."
He and Drumwright worked together on the board for 15 years, said Perry, during which the jurisdictional cooperation was "marvelous."
'He knew every inch'
Dorothy Jaeckle, vice chairman of the board, recalled that when first elected to the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, she was taken aback by the number of boards on which she was expected to serve, and overwhelmed by the steep learning curve required to learn about the various organizations.
Appointed to the Henricus board because the park was in her district, Jaeckle said that joining a board with Drumwright only magnified her feelings of inadequacy.
"George was the one," she said, "who took the sickle and cleared the way in [to the historical area]. He knew every last inch of this place." But her feelings of inadequacy were soon eased, said Jaeckle, because Drumwright was so clearly passionate about the park, and made it clear that he wanted only to share his knowledge of it with others.
Chesterfield County Manager Jay Stegmaier, noting that Henricus was recently named the best park in Central Virginia by readers of Richmond.com, credited Drumwright with being one of the key players that helped the park succeed.
"You've become an icon for Central Virginia," Stegmaier told Drumwright, jokingly inviting him to use a sword to carve his initials in a tree on the site. "[Henricus] is a treasure for Chesterfield and Henrico County, and it's rapidly becoming a treasure for the entire country."
"And," added Stegmaier, echoing the previous speakers, "we're not going to let you totally retire."
A radiant light
In thanking his colleagues for gifts that included colonial-era replicas of a hat and a lantern, Drumwright cited "huge support" from the community as his inspiration, and noted that like the lantern, Henricus had blossomed from a tiny spark of a concept into a radiant light.
Only days before, said Drumwright, students visiting the park from Lucille Brown Middle School had been using a newly re-created platform overlooking the bluff to calculate the trajectory of cannon fire needed to bridge the river – demonstrating just one of the unique hands-on lessons that the park provides to schoolchildren.
Upon being presented with a sword, Drumwright reminisced about his first job in Norfolk, during which he occasionally perched on the rails of a replica ship and played the role of pirate.
"We used to break these swords once a week," he said, "fighting each other."
Everything a miracle
As the celebration moved into the dinner-and-music phase – featuring favorite Drumwright band Steve Bassett and Friends – incoming Henrico County Manager John Vithoulkas read a letter from Tuckahoe Supervisor and fellow Henricus board member Pat O'Bannon, who could not be present at the celebration.
Addressing Drumwright, O'Bannon wrote, "Before Google, George, we had you to ask for answers. Now we can ask Google, but it's not nearly as good."
Thanking Drumwright for serving as a mentor, O'Bannon went on to quote Albert Einstein, who once said, "There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle, and you can live as if everything is a miracle."
"George," wrote O'Bannon,"lives his life as if everything is a miracle."
Echoing O'Bannon's sentiment, Vithoulkas recalled visiting the undeveloped, overgrown future site of Henricus decades ago, when he worked under Stegmaier as a budget analyst.
"It wasn't nearly what we've got here now," said Vithoulkas.
"George, you've done a phenomenal job."

A hero is born
Disney's 'Big Hero 6,' lovable robot Baymax delight
It may be time for Olaf to step down as our nation's reigning cartoon character. Big Hero 6, the latest animated feature from Disney, contains a challenger to the throne: Baymax (Scott Adsit), another lovably chubby white wonder, who will bring joy to children's hearts and invade every home in America inside a six-foot pile of Disney merchandise.
Big Hero 6 (based ever so slightly on a Marvel comic of the same name) is the story of Baymax – and also his closest companion Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter). And then also their four friends, all of whom join together to form the titular superhero team.
At first, though, it's only Hiro, a young boy and an engineering prodigy, who'd rather spend his time in underground robot fight clubs than do something productive with his gifts. > Read more.
Authentically Italian
Bella's feels – and tastes – like Italy should
Short Pump is known for its share of chain restaurants and strip malls, but diners looking for something more distinct can certainly find it without heading downtown or to nearby Charlottesville.
In fact, local husband-and-wife restaurateurs Valeria Bisenti and Doug Muir brought a taste of Charlottesville (and Italy) to Short Pump when they took a chance and opened Bella's second location in the same shopping strip as Wal-Mart and Peter Chang China Cafe. (Bella's original location is on Main Street in downtown Charlottesville.)
For a local Italian restaurant, Bella's is as "Mom and Pop" as its gets. Valeria is Mom, and Doug is Pop. Since its opening about six months ago, diners have been eating rich comfort foods and drinking Italian wines. > Read more.

David Gewirtz
Violet Blue
Best Argument: Yes
Audience Favored: No (81%)
The moderator has delivered a final verdict.
Opening Statements
How do you protect everyone?
David Gewirtz: What do you do? When you lead a democracy, you have two fundamental missions: ensure the freedom of your citizens and keep them safe. The great challenge of democracy is these two responsibilities are often at odds with each other, and yet neither can be sacrificed and both missions must be fulfilled.
But there are bad guys -- nation states dedicated to our destruction for their benefit, terrorists who kill thousands of innocents. These bad actors love our freedoms as much as we do, because it lets them travel through our open society and wreak havoc.
To protect your citizens, you keep an eye out for trouble. With hundreds of millions of citizens and millions of square miles, you must automate the process. You must look for indicators. You must aggregate tons of data. Because discovering a plot must happen before thousands of people die.
So here's the question my opponent must answer: If you don't watch your citizens, if you don't keep an eye out for people who are willing to kill thousands of your neighbors, how do you protect everyone? What do you do? What do you do?
Threat to democracy
Violet Blue: Domestic spying and surveillance is antithetical to democracy; while some say it's necessary for safety, it destroys the fundamental trust between a government and its citizens, which is key to democracy itself. We may be "safer" - and, are we? - but we will no longer be in a democracy. If you trade trust for safety, can you be sure the government is here to protect every one of us? I don't think so.

A good plastic chess set is an important piece of equipment for most chess players. Plastic chess sets tend to be a lot more affordable than wood chess sets and generally more durable. This makes them a practial choice for carrying around or where you might need several hundred sets for a tournament.
The Chess Store has expanded the traditional plastic chess set design far beyond that of the common club set sold by most stores. We put a lot of time and work into creating unique and truly beautiful designs that have elegant shapes and intricate detail. We also wanted to offer our plastic chess sets in more than just the typical black and white so we added beige (our camel color), red, and burgundy. This makes it possible to mix up just about any combination of colors for a truly unique plastic chess set.
We offer all of our plastic chess sets in a complete tournament kit that includes a rollup chess board, bag, and scorebook. Unless you only need the pieces, this is best way to purchase a plastic chess set because you almost always save money buying the complete kit compared to buying everything separately. We offer several different packages for each set in a wide range of popular colors.

Hansson: Endless border & other choral works
CDA67881 Download currently discounted
Movement 1: Kyrie
Movement 2: Gloria
Movement 3: Sanctus & Benedictus
Movement 4: Agnus Dei
The Gloria gives the impression of being more strongly rooted in early liturgical form with many lines of the text chanted in a manner akin to plainsong. A more fluid harmonic approach is taken for 'Benedicimus te', which is mirrored later in the section for 'Qui sedes ad dexteram'. At the centre of the movement the magnitude of God is unveiled with powerful towering chords for 'Domine Deus, Rex caelestis', which then subside, leaving the descant choir ascending for the phrase 'Qui tollis peccata mundi'. The conclusion of this movement, with its dancing triple-time rhythms and toccata-style organ writing, conjures up all the liturgical drama of the end of Mass. Hansson's characteristic chords built on perfect fourths here resonate like a peal of bells.
The Sanctus begins as a reverential chant building up through all the voices until it is transformed into a great song of praise in C major, the 6/8 rhythm adding vigour. Against this compound-time backdrop, Hansson introduces a contrasting 3/4 lyrical melody for 'Pleni sunt caeli'. The 'Hosanna' section, like the beginning, builds up from bass to soprano, each voice chanting in different layers. The Benedictus rises seamlessly from the end of this outburst using again the 3/4 melody heard earlier. Here it becomes a five-part canon between all the female voices leading to a more subdued chant of 'Hosanna in excelsis' to conclude.
The Agnus Dei takes a more atonal approach, weaving a tapestry combining colourful harmonies with more angular melodic writing. Hansson returns to C minor and material from the Kyrie for the end of the Mass, the 'miserere' being broken up and slowly recited by all voices until settling onto a final 'nobis' almost like a final gasp. For the final 'Dona nobis pacem' section a sense of calm is established with more ethereal writing for the upper voices.

Coleridge-Taylor & Somervell: Violin Concertos
Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads availableCDA67420
Movement 1: Allegro maestoso Vivace Allegro molto
Movement 2: Andante semplice Andantino
Movement 3: Allegro molto Moderato
Coleridge-Taylor originally set out to write a concerto based on spirituals but was unhappy with his first attempts and eventually wrote the present concerto using original thematic material. Yet there are melodic and harmonic resonances of Dvorák's American works about it, not least in the first movement.
The remarkably large-scale opening movement, Allegro maestoso, is a classical sonata movement, although the composer's fondness for constantly exploring passing episodes and interpolating decoration for his soloist gives it something of a rhapsodic feel. The opening theme is immediately taken up by the soloist, each phrase of the theme decorated by Coleridge-Taylor's inserted falling and rising arpeggios of increasing complexity, much in the manner of his popular violin encores. This is contrasted with the charming dotted second subject, Vivace, which is used extensively. Eventually the music reaches the cadenza, which the violin plays over a sustained timpani roll on D, the soloist mainly toying with the dotted rhythm. A mellifluous 2/4 Allegro molto leads to the end, the soloist now playing the first subject with the fullest tone.
The charming nocturnal slow movement (Andante semplice) in 6/8 is almost completely lyrical. The opening muted strings immediately set the mood, as the violin presents the first theme, the decorated violin line weaving an enchanted reverie with the orchestra. The second section (Andantino) is heralded by an orchestral tutti which grandly introduces a new theme before the violin takes it up. The finale might be called a free rondo since the outlines of a rondo are present, but Coleridge-Taylor is constantly happy to explore little contrasted vignettes within the music, or follow his rhapsodic inclination where it takes him. Here much of the orchestration is very lightly applied, not least at the beginning. At one point there is a passing moment of drama as the maestoso first theme of the first movement briefly thunders out, and there is a passing reference to the slow movement. The work ends with the opening theme of the first movement now rhythmically altered, and at the end the opening rhythm is heard once more.

My head always turns when I see a photography book sitting face out on a shelf. It's probably a throwback from when I was little and only liked books with pictures. But now I can appreciate "picture books" with more grown-up themes. The latest one I've come across is a re-issue of The Americans by Robert Frank with black-and-white pictures from the 1950s. The faces of the people and the moments Frank captured are sometimes comical, sometimes haunting. Most of all they give you a picture of who we Americans were not so long ago.

I would vastly prefer better information here: the non-mangled name of the function, including namespace and, ideally, a little bit of the available meta-data: the file name and line number.
In other words, instead of novate.core.processing.async$locate_destination@2690d691 something more like novate.core.processing.async/locate-destination(async.clj:231).
Ideally, anything that is code generated as a class should implement a useful toString(). It would be nice if reified types could identify the containing namespace and function (and file/line number) as part of their default toString().
I suspect this would need to be controlled by a compiler option as it would slightly increase the generated bytecode size, and (imperceptably?) affect compilation speed.
Contains changes and updated tests. I don't have any details on if this affects compiler performance or generated code size in any significant or even measurable way.
Howard, sorry I do not have more useful comments on the changes you make in your patch. Right now I only have a couple of minor comments on its form. The preferred format for patches is that created using the instructions shown on this wiki page: http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Developing+Patches
Also, there are several parts of your patch that appear to only make changes in the whitespace of lines. It would be best to leave such changes out of a proposed patch.
Yes, I didn't notice the whitespace changes until after; I must have hit reformat at some point, despite my best efforts. I'll put together a new patch shortly.

Inclusion criteria:
To construct a treatment option with Viramune (nevirapine) and antiretroviral, e.g. Combivir (fixed dose combination of Zidovudine and Lamivudine), Kivexa (fixed dose combination of Abacavir and Lamivudine) or Truvada (fixed dose combination of tenofovir and emtricitabine) in male and female adult HIV type 1 infected patients, who have either not been treated previously, whose previous combination treatment with protease inhibitors has failed, or who have to switch their previous treatment from protease inhibitor or nucleosidaI reverse transcriptase inhibitor due to side effects or intolerability after achieving suppression of viral load below the limit of detection. Viramune (nevirapine) is indicated as part of combination therapy for the antiviral treatment of HIV-1 infected patients with advanced or progressive immunodeficiency.
Exclusion criteria:
pAge < 18 years Pregnant female patients Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients of Viramune (nevirapine) or antiretroviral in combination with Viramune, e.g. Combivir (Zidovudine and Lamivudine), Kivexa (Abacavir and Lamivudine) or Truvada (tenofovir and emtricitabine).
Viramune (nevirapine) should not be readministered to patients who have required permanent discontinuation for severe rash, rash accompanied by constitutional symptoms, hypersensitivity reactions, or clinical hepatitis due to nevirapine.
Viramune (nevirapine) should not be used in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) or pre-treatment GOT (Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase) or GPT (Glutamic Pyruvate Transaminase) > 5 upper limit of normal until baseline GOT/GPT are stabilised < 5 upper limit of normal.
Viramune (nevirapine) should not be readministered in patients who previously had GOT or GPT (Liver enzymes) > 5 ULN (upper limit of normal) during Viramune (nevirapine) therapy and had recurrence of liver function abnormalities upon readministration of Viramune (nevirapine) Herbal preparations containing St Johns wort (Hypericum perforatum) must not be used while taking Viramune (nevirapine) due to the risk of decreased plasma concentrations and reduced clinical effects of nevirapine The available pharmacokinetic data suggest that the concomitant use of rifampicin and Viramune (nevirapine) is not recommended.

Wyeth, headquartered in Madison, New Jersey, is one of the largest research-based pharmaceutical and healthcare-product companies in the world, dedicated to solving the world's most critical health problems through substantial investments in research and development.
As a global company, Wyeth faces pervasive security threats. For example, Wyeth scans more than 66 million files and 100 million registry keys every day. Using McAfee technology, Wyeth detected more than 2,000,000 malware infections and 16,000 unique malware items in the past year.
Constant vigilance
At Wyeth, McAfee VirusScan Enterprise is the sole desktop protection product, augmenting the company's network and border-level security and monitoring solutions. Several times per month, through the use of firewall logs and malware report analysis, Wyeth's IT security team identifies desktop and laptop devices that exhibit behavior associated with worm, virus, or spyware activity. In most cases, this behavior stems from an executable file located on the infected device. During an outbreak, McAfee tools are essential in planning mitigation.
"Most of the time, our McAfee software can detect the malware and remove it," explains Ed Carroll, associate director of Global Client Computing for Wyeth. "In fact, the day-to-day protection works so well without impairing the user experience that it's taken for granted. Sometimes we need to submit a file to McAfee and they provide a .DAT signature file update. We use that to clean and protect Wyeth's entire desktop environment from further infection."
Buffer overflow attacks are another significant and all-too-common concern. The malicious code that executes as a result of a buffer overflow runs with administrator-level privileges, and can do virtually anything — none of it good — to a server.
"These attacks are easy to mount," adds Greg Stewart, Wyeth's IT security consultant. "That's why buffer overflow protection was a driving factor in selecting VirusScan Enterprise over other products. We also appreciate other features like the mini-firewall, root kit scanner, and email scanner."
ePO: The key to managing a large, diverse IT ecosystem
Wyeth relies on McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) to produce regular and ad hoc reports on the status of devices managed by the company's ePO servers. Project managers use routine status updates on the health of the desktop environment to support various upgrade projects. ePO reports also provide critical information on the scope and spread of infections during any type of outbreak. And, ad hoc reporting enables IT security to make on-the-fly vulnerability assessments during newly discovered attacks.
"ePO limits the number of employee hours spent on deployment, management, and monitoring," Carroll says. "When we upgrade to 4.0, we'll be able to manage a diverse group of client machines with different organizational policies — corporate, manufacturing, research laboratory, and sales laptops — from one server."
"Most of the time, our McAfee software can detect malware and remove it. It works so well, it's taken for granted."Ed Carroll
Associate Director Global Client Computing, Wyeth
According to Carroll, this capability aligns with Wyeth's goal of global server consolidation. The upgrade also supports easier delegation of reporting functions because it is browser-based and does not require client software.
"I've spoken with people who have worked with the McAfee product at Wyeth for seven years," says Carroll. "And they cannot think of a significant outbreak in that time. We just haven't had any outbreaks worthy of mention, like many other companies have, because McAfee has prevented them."
Resident Onsite Support Account Manager
With annual revenue of over $20 billion and a large cross section of McAfee solutions (ePO, Total Protection (ToPS) for Endpoint and VirusScan Enterprise for Linux) protecting its 54,000 nodes globally, Wyeth has recently opted for a 3.5 year McAfee Resident Onsite Support Account Manager to assist in the safeguarding of its business.
The Resident Onsite Support Account Manager (SAM) is Wyeth's personal security advocate and is thoroughly familiar with Wyeth's McAfee deployment and support history. The Resident Onsite SAM becomes a critical contributor within Wyeth's team by attending staff meetings and planning sessions. He has a sound understanding of Wyeth's plans and strategic direction and provides 24/7/365 proactive product support and planning assistance, operational advice, and direct intercession with other McAfee teams on Wyeth's behalf.
Being onsite also enables the SAM to see any issues first-hand and be able to quickly resolve them.
With easy-to-manage McAfee solutions, Wyeth no longer had need for a full-time security contractor. With the savings, Wyeth was able to offset a large portion of the cost of the Resident Onsite Support Account Manager.

If 89% of Americans don't approve of congress, how do politicians stay 'entrenched'? Special interests! And since every member of congress has something to lose, they would never pass such legislation, or give up their positions of power and influence to do so.
If the influence of special interests could be curtailed and campaign 'bribes' outlawed, congress might be forced to represent the voters of their district or state.
The choice has always been there -- honesty and integrity, or money -- our politicians have always chosen the money. That alone say volumes about the character of those we send to D.C.
One hears it said all the time that the Constitution ought to be a "living, breathing" document. Unfortunately, some people seem to think that the Second Amendment ought to hold its breath until the end of time.
I'd read an interesting article in the Oregonian about a tax that had the overwhelming support of the voters.
Now that the voters got what they'd voted for, people are objecting to actually having to pay the new tax. One in particular stated in the article "I voted for it, but I'd thought I would be granted an 'exemption' from paying it."
Another wrote "I'd like to be allowed to die in my own home, and not taxed out of it and forced die on the streets."

Review this movie
Jul 30, 2014"Les Miserables" is great-looking and features some touching performances. Its colourful cinematography, though, outshines the dark tone that makes Hugo's novel so engaging, and its inexperienced youths seem incompetent to mark a want-to-be classic with their weak performances. Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe feel out of place, even with some competent acting, while Hathaway is too dramatic to be believable, but it is obvious that by every cry and every drop she comes closer to the Oscar.… Expand
Sep 4, 2013the story is great, the picture is so good but I did not like the musical theme which the movie was based on! so I couldn't complete it until the end!
Aug 22, 2013Well I haven't laughed that much for ages! Lots of good actors making fools of themselves. It's amazing that they all took on the project! Can't be enough scripts around I guess. Loved the Liam Neeson version, much much more entertaining.
Jun 17, 2013A miserable attempt to adapt this beloved musical for a film audience. Don't get me wrong, I like Russel Crowe under proper direction and in the right role, but his performance in this film was absolutely dreadful.
Jun 13, 2013So I already hate musicals, and this one just confirms how awful they are. Anne whats her name is so bad it makes Vince Vaughn look like a good actor. Disgusting, boring, and just plain terrible.
Apr 1, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. N MY OPINION **MAY CONTAIN SPOIILER S** by CtheTav I had heard great things about this film going into it. It had Oscar buzz and had already taken multiple best picture awards. Apparently I saw a different version of the film because the film I saw was terrible! The "singing" in this film by the main cast is reminiscent of Mama Mia! Or Moulin Rouge as in big name karaoke at best. The majority of the big names can't sing with the exception of Russel Crow who is a bit better than the rest but still a long way off staring a singing career after this film, and to give Hugh Jackman the lead role when he is the worst singer of the lot is unforgiveable and a stupid move by the casting director. Another problem with this film is the fact that there is very little talking and everything is sing talked which, takes away from the songs as its difficult to tell when a song starts and ends which is why when initially writing this review I struggled to recall even 2 songs (2 hours after watching the film). Back to the plot now, so carefully hinged on the back drop of a French revolution showing that everyone's super poor or mega rich and the no one likes the king at the moment so it, revolution! There is no character development in this film at all after the first 5 minutes. Jon Valjean goes from angry thief to God loving good guy in 10 seconds or 8 years of unseen moments in the plot, feels guilty for not being granular about his employees actions, buys some kid, raises her and then realises "actually I lied to get where I am today but I'm okay with that", gets a mystery illness whilst lifting luggage and dies. Javert Javert goes from letter of the lawman (he literally sang a song about it) to a suicidal fool who can't deal with being given a second chance. The young revolutionary goes from tactician to screw it I'm in love over the course of 1 night (the same night he saw his entire friendship die horribly). At the end of this film the people at the barricade are all dead this is touted as a happy ending. This ending is miserable all of those who died as martyrs achieved nothing, so well done everyone, NOT! This film has the worst action sequences ever. Being shot in the chest and not bleeding? Why not? Did the budget not allow for fake blood to be used? Then the character has the audacity to sing for three minutes before dying, not dying immediately like most of the other idiots foolish enough to point the barrel of a gun at themselves and not just away from everyone Rubbish! Rating 1 out of 10 An awful film that received too much praise due to the stage production it was based on… Expand
Mar 31, 2013Musicals are not my thing. Up until now I have seen only 2 that worked: Moulin Rouge and Romeo Julliet (yes both Baz Luhrman's). With all the positive reviews and the high imdb score I was willing to give it a fair chance...but after 5,5 mins I had reached the limits of my patience, I had to turn it off. This is just unbearable! Do they really have to sing EVERY SINGLE LINE of dialogue? No wonder this thing clocks in at 158 mins. It's better to burst out into song for no reason then to continuously pound people in the face with them. Some performers are great actors, sure, but that doesn't mean they have a great singing voice. Be realistic, no one is good at everything. I guess this film has a certain audience (it made 433 m$ worldwide) but I'm pretty certain I'm not one of them … Expand
Mar 23, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm not typically one for writing reviews but I decided after suffering through this movie that I needed the catharsis of doing one. I'll begin by saying that I am a fan of the musical. I saw it with a touring group when they came through and I own the "Dream Cast" concert version. I believe Les Mis has some of the most beautiful music and themes I've ever seen in a musical, albeit presented through a loosely woven story. Unfortunately this latest version, while attempting to stay closer to the musical production, didn't seem to be assembled with the same quality. The most distracting thing to me was that many of the cast were weak singers. They were unable to reach their notes without straining or giving up before hitting them. Some of Javert's music was even rearranged to accommodate Mr. Crowe. I appreciate the actors' ability to break down emotionally when needed but the voices were not as strong as their performance and many times took away from the impact that a song could have had. Mr. Crowe and Mr. Jackman's solos were often muffled or nasal respectively. I cringed before Valjean began his "God on high" at the barricade uncomfortably fearing what was about to come. And Javert's Stars solo, which would normally be belted out with a strong baritone fell flat.
The cinematography was done in an odd manner. There were a lot of artistic angles presented. Some were interesting, like the sweep over the cross into the city toward the beginning. Others were very distracting like the butterfly on the gate during Cosette's duet with Marius in the garden. Valjean was annoyingly upstaged by a large-eyed banner during his solo at the barricade. The camera seemed handheld much of the time as well.
I greatly appreciated the cut during Fantine's first sexual encounter as a prostitute I was watching this with my family and questioned if I needed to do some editing of my own. Yet we were all taken aback at the decision to follow Javert all the way down to his bone crunching end in the Seine. I believe this would have been better had it been left to the imagination. It was actually distracting when done in such a blatant manner.
All in all I appreciated the sets and some of the singing as well as most of the art. I am glad someone made an attempt to bring the musical to video. Sadly, I think I would have enjoyed it more had they just filmed the actual stage play (like the 2011 Royal Albert Hall Phantom of the Opera). I decided to rate this a "0" to even out the unrealistically positive reviews. This should really be around a 6 in my book. Thanks for reading if you got through this!… Expand
Mar 2, 2013the only thing good about this movie is the performances of Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman, i hate it when all the movie is songs and there is not an actual dialogue, it gets boring
Feb 27, 2013I do love musicals. I am a big fan of Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Ginger Rodgers, and Cyd Charrise, The greatest musical has to be either Fiddler on the roof or Singin in the Rain. The problems with Les Miserable stem from the actual Broadway musical itself. The story "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo is a chronicle of french life in the french revolution era. The purpose of the story was to show the hardships and exploitation of the French people in the most important eras in French history. To create a musical based on these hardships would trivialize and take away Hugo's masterpiece. The other problem is the language.Why create a musical that is in predominately in English (yes, there are french translations) that totally disrupts and destroys the cultural context of what the story is suppose to be about? When considering the 2012 version, an adaption of a huge Broadway musical with a colossal amount of fans waiting to see it makes it a for sure money maker.Yet, it does not allow an unacquainted audience to embrace the story or music. The story is redundant and the music, while I admit is great, really gets boring after the first 20 minutes of the cast screeching it in my face and really forcing me to like it. I felt the film had great points in photography and costuming, the film felt long and tiring. The pace of the film was like a roller coaster ride that after the 15th rendition of the same three songs, I gave up. The lack of professional singers (i.e. Russell Crowe and High Jackman) really made me doubt their musical prowess and I just hoped they were able to hit the really high notes. Th final problem is the song dialogue. I felt it was gimmicky and unnecessary. The great musicals of "Singin in the Rain" and "Fiddler on the Roof" used dialogue to move the stories forward and make the songs more enjoyable. "Les Mis" oversang their songs that could have potentially be a great musical. Yet, it disappointed this musical lover!… Expand
Feb 10, 2013The whole movie is tedious. The singing was too much and acting was pretentious.
It's totally the opposite experience while I was watching Moulin Rouge. Moulin Rouge is way much better than Les Miserables.
Feb 4, 2013I know now why they call it "Les Miserables". I was miserable watching it! First of all, there is no spoken dialog, so be prepared for that. When they are singing the dialog it is absolutely tuneless and meandering. I liked Hugh Jackman's upper register but didn't care for his lower register, but his acting was flawless. Anne Hathaway also has a nice voice and turns in a great performance. People are complaining about Russell Crowe's voice, but I thought he did a fine job. He sings in tune, he just doesn't have a voice that projects. It's fine for the movie version. There are many unnecessary extreme close-ups throughout the film, and the film is a downer throughout. One over-dramatic moment after another. This is a long movie and I looked at my watch many times hoping it would end soon. The acting is good throughout, but the story was boring and I didn't care for the opera-style musical with no spoken dialog.… Expand
Feb 4, 2013My wife and I both cried watching this movie. The problem is we cried for different reasons. She had an emotional attachment to the movie because of her childhood. I cried because this was horrible. Letting the actors sing live and going with that was a big mistake. I have to believe that people voting this good, even the Oscar nominations, are all because you are SUPPOSED to like this rather than anyone actually liking it. Every time someone other than Anne Hathaway sang, you are pulled out of the movie. I have heard better singers at a Karaoke bar. they need to go back and clean up the terrible singing before they release this on DVD. While this isn't the worst movie I have seen this year (Movie 43) this was far more difficult to sit through.… Expand
Feb 3, 2013Self indulgent and pretentious. This defines pretty well what Tom Hooper´s Les Miserables is. The camera is always in the wrong place. The tight shots make the production design seem like a waste and the actors look bad, embracing their over-acting. There is no dialogue, everything is sung, there is no silent moment and there is absolutely no subtlety. Everything is bad, nobody can really sing (especially Russel Crowe) and the performances are so weird and over the top. The only thing that saves this movie from complete disaster is the beautiful production design. Definitely not a must-see.… Expand
Jan 28, 2013Rather disappointing considering all the hype...
IMHO, the worst thing about this movie wasn't any single performance since the acting was generally good and no better or worse than most big-cast movies...rather, it was the direction. When you take a musical with a pretty full plot, it's not easy but the director did not take advantage of the fact that a movie was being made. Compared to Chicago, another musical turned movie, the direction and sets in Chicago made you feel believe the singing adapted and suited the plot and not nice versa. Some details, without any spoilers...
- there were way too many closeups of people's faces and for too long. This is what they do in musicals, i.e., focus on one character at a time. But this is a movie and you can zoom out and show the environment, give the audience a better feel of the surroundings, and create a scene that's not limited to what can fit on a theatre stage. I felt the director lost sight of this as during most songs, all you saw was one face on about 2/3 of the screen, and had no idea what, if anything, was in the background. I think this, above all else, ruined the film
- I don't think the plot was clear and wasn't laid out very well considering it was about the same length as the show and the show does it soooooo much better
- Too much focus on crying and not as much on acting
- Having known the plot in advance and having seen the rebellion before, I didn't think it was clear why there was a revolution at all
- Some very good performances, such as Jean Valjean, Gavroche, Marius, and to a lesser extent, Fantine
- Not so good performances included Javert, Cosette (her acting was fine, but she was the wrong voice type for her talent and I felt they just really wanted her to be in the movie), and young Cosette
- I was indifferent with the innkeeper, his wife, and Eponine. Again, not a lot of acting and too much concentration on getting the notes right (less so for Eponine who was a little better than that)
- I was impressed and not many will have recognized that the man who played the priest who takes pity on Valjean was none other than Colm Wilkinson, the original Phantom in Toronto, and who has also played Valjean many times on stage. That was a nice touch :)
1. Russell Crowe has tone but no power and cannot hold any of the long notes...sound like he was yelling. Also, not much acting as he seemed to be trying to concentrate on hitting the notes correctly and his facial expression never changed.
2. Anne Hathaway can sing but again, like Rusell Crowe, didn't have enough power in her voice. I'm being picky here but she has a number of bad habits in her singing, like taking a breath at times that seemed inappropriate with the melody of the songs
3. Hugh Jackman was worth watching and I would say he has the best voice in the cast as well as actually acted too.… Collapse
Jan 11, 2013Oh boy, what a terrible mess. Acting horrifying, singing ear bleeding, a story of absolute garbage and a movie that suffocates you on the length. The talk and sing style trash isn't only irritating, it makes the movie almost impossible to follow. Les Miserables not only takes the title of worst movie of the year but of all time. Move over Chicago, we have a movie even worse.
Jan 11, 2013If it wasn't but some very brief moments, and I mean brief, this movie would be a complete disaster. It is so horribly long and boring with absolute no dialogue. It is filled with dreadful songs and melodramatic acting.
Jan 9, 2013My biggest issue with "Les Mis" is I don't buy into the main story. Why on earth would someone go to prison for 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread? Why would Javert be SO obsessed with capturing Valjean because he broke parole after being released? Maybe that is the way the law worked at that place and time in history, or maybe it's meant to symbolize oppression, thus providing reason for the peasants' uprising later in film. Either way, that plot line is just hard for me to swallow as an American citizen in the 21st century, where matters of crime and punishment tend to be at least a bit more just than that.
Otherwise, I found the film to be both breathtaking and bewildering. The sets, costumes and several of the solo/duo numbers ("I Dreamed a Dream," "On My Own," "A Little Fall of Rain" and "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" in particular) were enchanting and wonderful. The cinematography, on the other hand, was awful. Why did the filmmakers decide to shoot almost exclusively in close-ups? I felt like I was trapped in boxes with these people every time they sang, and while in real life I wouldn't mind being trapped in a box with Hugh Jackman (ha ha), it felt too suffocating while viewing this film. In almost every scene, the singing characters and their songs weren't given room to breathe on screen, and the narrow shots made it hard to perceive how other characters in the same given scene were reacting. I understand the need to show us the misery and desperation of these characters, but I think that could have been done in a manner more creative than just shoving the viewers down the throats of the performers.
So I suppose if you can buy the major plot line (or at least suspend your disbelief), you might enjoy this film more than I did, but it's hard for me to understand how anyone can rate this film "in the green" when the cinematography was so god-awful. It pretty much single-handedly destroyed this film.… Expand
Jan 9, 2013The acting was alright but this movie is a musical. Good actors but no singers. The plot was unoriginal and the movie progressed very slowly. This is a good movie for those people who give good ratings to poor movies but for the rest of us, this movie is one that should be avoided.
Jan 8, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's safe to say that Les Mis has ruined my week. My eyeballs hurt from all the rolling they've done. The only part I enjoyed was when Russell Crowe jumped off the bridge. At least we didn't have to listen to his wretched singing any more. I'm not even sure what the film was about -- well I THINK it's about a bunch of folk who pile some furniture up in the middle of the street in Gay Paree and then hide behind it for a while, but hey, that's just me.j… Expand
Jan 5, 2013I saw it again, 2 days after seeing it the first time. Remember, I have seen the stage play 8 times, in 5 different venues, and adored every one. I have the 10th and 25 anniversary DVDs and play them a couple of times a year. The more I think about this movie, despite its attractiveness as spectacle, it does the stage play a gross disservice. While Ann Hathaway is brilliant in her sadly brief performance, Hugh Jackman is acceptable, and Russell Crowe is abysmal. The inner torment of Javert is such a critical element of the story and is best articulated in his two solos: Stars and the suicide. Crowe totally misses this essential character element and, as a consequence, his portrayal is pitiful. The play has 2 essential and wonderfully executed comic reliefs: the Thenardiers Master of the House, and The Wedding. The director has destroyed the comic relief aspect, omitted incredibly amusing and vital portions, and grossly miscast Helen Bonham Carter as Madam Thenardier. Sasha Baron Cohen could have executed better, but didnt , either due to Hooper or his own limitations. Hooper fundamentally misunderstands where Les Mis, the play, gets its power. It's the music and how it is presented. Hooper spends too much of his energy on the spectacle and setting of 19th century France, and not enough on the magnificent music and the powerful story the music can tell. Damn shame too.… Expand
Jan 2, 2013From the second it begun to its end, I was not interested. The characters did not pull me and the singing was not that good, especially compared to the musical. The only part that was actually entertaining were the Thenardiers, they were a very good comic relief for the boring plot. Altogether the story was boring, the singing wasn't up to par, and the characters were not interesting at all.
Dec 30, 2012I have never been more disappointed. I've seen the stage and concert versions and while it was great visually, Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe were PAINFUL to listen to. The power of the drama which comes from good singing was totally lost. One needs to hear a really good singer sing Bring Him Home (like Thomas Hampson) to know how truly BAD Jackman was. He just didn't have the voice to carry it. There are plenty of people who could have done better! The best singers were the smaller parts. I feel they ruined what could have been a classic by using such poor singers. I don't care if they had a big name, they can't sing! This is a show that NEEDS good singing. I'm so very disappointed. Could go on and on.… Expand
Dec 28, 2012Incredible! ly boring. Amazing! ly bloated. Terrific! ally overwrought and tasteless. When everything on display is Earnest! and Heartfelt!, it renders it all meaningless. Never subtle, always strained, the musical is shockingly claustrophobic instead of soaring, and needlessly literal at all turns.
A few observations: When making a musical, it might be a good idea to hire singers for the lead roles.
Helena Bonham Carter seems to have wandered in from Sweeney Todd, the prostitutes seem to think they are in Cats, and good deal more of the cast seems to think they are in Oliver! (isn't this supposed to be France?)
Finally, be careful about your end-of-life haircut choices, as apparently the cut follows you to Heaven!… Expand
Dec 28, 2012By far the funniest musical I've ever seen. Never mind that it isn't supposed to be funny. If you read this review and then go see Les Miserables anyway, you better know how to entertain yourself. I laughed my way through the final two hours by making up Weird Al style verses to substitute for the piteous wailing and moaning and brow beating and self-flagellation that makes up the actual verses. Even my 66 year-old mother was making wisecracks by the end of it. Her final verdict was the movie needed less singing and more fighting. Sadly Les Miserables also lacks a guillotine, so you will have to hear the entire cast of characters go on and on in sobbing song until you long for a short, unmusical death scene. Preferably a scene involving the entire cast.… Expand
Dec 28, 2012What a disappointment! Way too much singing and no dialogue! All the songs sound exactly the same and that can only be attributed to the directing. Note: This movie is the first musical not to use a pre-recorded soundtrack that actors match during their performance. It was supposed to make the music more raw and real and connect more. It does but, sadly, it also makes all the songs sounds the same. There are no variations in melody and a lot of the singing sounds irregular in rhythm and progression. That said, Anne Hathaway does give a beautiful performance but her screen time in this movie is very limited. While some in the audience did cheer at the end, I saw a few people walking out throughout the movie as well and I wish that I had walked out with them. I simply wanted the movie to be over and I simply recommend viewing the 1998 version of Les Miserables instead.… Expand
Dec 26, 2012Inert. Bloated. A relic of the 1980s that should have been left where it belongs. Needed to be edited down by at least 15 minutes--would not have affected storyline but the pacing would have been much better. A lot of time, energy and money used to produce a very mediocre musical.
Dec 26, 2012This was an boring, overblown mess of a movie. Anne Hathaway's performance is the single highlight where she radiates pure pathos. Meanwhile, Russell Crowe was just embarrassing to watch.
Dec 25, 2012The millions of faithful followers of this no-spoken-dialogue pop opera will flock to any incarnation. For everyone else, try to be kind. Producers clearly wanted the A-list actors (Hugh Jackman/Valjean, Anne Hathaway /Fantine, Amanda Seyfield/Cosette, Russell Crowe/Javert -- who auditioned like American Idol hopefuls) for two reasons: for box office clout, and to make the soap-opera-smaltzy sung dialogue seem almost credible, at least in super closeup. Anne Hathaway gives a moving performance as the ill-fated (and early departing) Fantine, and Hugh Jackman, who won a Tony for the Boy from Oz and played Curly in a West End production of Oklahoma, will probably be the greatest surprise to film fans. But when the "real" singers arrive -the young revolutionaries and the wonderful Samantha Barks as Eponine -- all the leads except for Jackman seem out of place. (I notice they didn't include Sam Barks in the finale.) More successful is the staging of the comedy numbers like "Master of the House" with Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter as the grifters, although those numbers seem odd set in director Tom Hooper's ultra-realistic Parisian slums. My suggestion: on a long trans-oceanic flight, try Kindle-sampling Victor Hugo's sprawling 1,500 page novel.… Expand
Occasionally, like its characters, ragged around the edges, this nevertheless rings with all the emotion and power of the source and provides a new model for the movie musical.
We're all familiar with the experience of seeing movies that cram ideas and themes down our throats. Les Misérables may represent the first movie to do so while also cramming us down the throats of its actors.
It's a relief to see Sacha Baron Cohen, in the role of a seamy innkeeper, bid goodbye to Cosette with the wistful words "Farewell, Courgette." One burst of farce, however, is not enough to redress the basic, inflationary bombast that defines Les Misérables. Fans of the original production, no doubt, will eat the movie up, and good luck to them. I screamed a scream as time went by.
