I didn't even know this movie existed until I got an email about a
private screening. I went just because I didn't have anything to do and
didn't expect much. Anything with Sylvester Stallone is guaranteed to
be your run of the mill, cheesy, action flick with guns, explosions and
cheesy one liners. This is exactly what this movie was but this time I
enjoyed it from start to finish.
First, I'd like to say that Stallone's on screen chemistry with Sung Kang is awesome. The dialogue between is always laugh out loud. I don't think I've a movie where Stallone's sarcastic sense of humor just made me let out a loud yelp of laughter but this movie did. Kudos to the writer for writing all those comedic one liners, every scene is guaranteed to make you giggle. Sung Kang was also enjoyable in his character of a determined, yet rookie cop from out of state trying to solve a murder case. Reminded me of Jackie Chan in Rush Hour, minus the strong accent. Also, Jason Momoa (besides being sexy) did very well as the villain of the film. Towards the beginning he was a little one note but as the the film progresses he starts to show off more and more. The twist at the end definitely allowed him to get more shine and let the world know he can do more than just be Conan The Barbarian.
The action in the movie was really enjoyable as well. There were times in the theater where all the watchers would cheer or let out a "Damn" or "Wow" because you literally could feel every punch, kick, slam, shot and everything else. The ending fight scene was my fave. Some of the cinematography and shots seemed a little off being that the budget for this film was slightly high. But overall, it's an enjoyable film. No complex script, no Oscar worthy acting, just a simple yet solid plot, good action, cheesy and funny one liners, believable characters and not too long.
I'd recommend this movie for all the true action lovers that don't always need a complex, layered storyline. Just a fun, action flick to watch on a Friday night with your buddies or maybe even date, if you're girlfriend is into that type of stuff!
In case you can't discern from the title, this is a *very* violent
film, so don't be a putz and take your five or six year old kid, like a
couple of people did at the Independence, Missouri AMC screening
tonight. There are more triple-taps to the head than any film in recent
memory, to the point that it becomes rather over the top by the time
the film ends All that said, Walter Hill has woven yet another
well-paced, engrossing buddy film actioner with a pretty good left hand
twist. Stallone plays a weary New Orleans hit-man very convincingly,
and with a very wry sense of humor. Were he any more droll, he would
have to become a British citizen.
"Bullet" has everything an Action fan loves...really nasty bad guys, impossibly punishing fights, explosions, hot women, and main characters you can actually care something about. The plot isn't suspenseful, but it isn't meant to be, as our heroes go on what for one is a vendetta, and for the other a bumbling police investigation. Indeed, Sung Kang's Washington DC detective seems at times to have the insight of a rock, but Kang is pretty and plays well alongside the grizzled Stallone.
All and all, if you enjoy this sort of film, well...you'll enjoy "Bullet to the Head".
Now i'll admit I'm an action junkie and almost all the movies I review
are in this genre. So with that in mind I'm an obvious fan of Stallone
and Walter Hill. If you are also you'll like this as he one lines,
punches, shoots, explodes and stabs his way through this film. Now the
plot is very cliché and predictable which is why I would give it a 6.
However I do enjoy the retro,cheesy 80's feel this movie has.Overall, the film is average but watchable. Thats because of the Stallone/Hill combination and the action throughout.Comparing it to another similar retro action film from an ageing action star in early 2013 (The Last Stand),I felt that the last stand was more fun and enjoyable. But I'd still recommend both films if your a fan of the genre and the actors.
'BULLET TO THE HEAD': Four Stars (Out of Five)
Sylvester Stallone in a classic 80s style revenge action film directed by none other than Walter Hill (who helmed such popular 70s through 90s action flicks as 'THE WARRIORS', 'THE LONG RIDERS', '48 HOURS', 'RED HEAT', 'EXTREME PREJUDICE', 'TRESSPASS' and 'LAST MAN STANDING'). The film is based on a graphic novel (of the same name, when translated to English) by Alexis Nolent and illustrated by Colin Wilson. It was scripted by Alessandro Camon and puts Stallone in a buddy tale as a hit-man teamed with a cop out to revenge the killing of his partner. It also pits Stallone in a classic axe fight with Jason Momoa (of 'STARGATE: ATLANTIS', 'BAYWATCH' and 'GAME OF THRONES' fame. He also played Conan in the recent 'CONAN THE BARBARIAN' reboot). The film also co-stars Sung Kang (most well known from 'THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS' franchise), Christian Slater and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. It's a great throwback to 80s action flicks and Stallone and Hill fans should be thrilled with it.
Stallone plays James Bonomo, a hit-man in New Orleans who takes an assignment to kill a dirty cop, named Hank Greely (Holt McCallany), with his partner, Louis Blanchard (Jon Seda), but leaves a witness alive, a prostitute the cop was sleeping with named Lola (Weronika Rosati). Bonomo and Blanchard are later attacked at a bar by another hired killer named Keegan (Momoa). Keegan kills Blanchard but fails to defeat Bonomo in a bathroom brawl. Bonomo later learns that Keegan is working for a man named Robert Morel (Akinnuoye-Agbaje) who wants a file Greely had. Bonomo of course wants revenge for the death of his partner. A cop named Taylor Kwan (Kang) comes to town to investigate the death of his ex-partner, Greely, and pieces it together that Bonomo was involved. The two reluctantly team up to stop Morel and Keegan. The beautiful Sarah Shahi also co-stars as Bonomo's daughter, who helps him out when Kwan is in need of medical attention (because she's a tattoo artist).
The film, for me, had exactly the same feel as the old neo-noir revenge flicks from two to four decades ago (the same ones that Stallone used to star in or Hill used to direct). While watching it it almost feels like you've been thrown back in time to the 80s or early 90s! It's just great nostalgic fun and Stallone is perfect in it. Kang makes a great sidekick and Momoa is an awesome bad guy. It's of course perfectly directed by Hill as well (who hasn't changed at all in style in the last thirty-some years). The script isn't very deep and the lines are sometimes very cheesy but that's the way it's supposed to be. I enjoyed it more than 'EXPENDABLES' co-stars, of Stallone's, latest action vehicles (Schwarzenegger's 'THE LAST STAND' and Statham's 'PARKER'), which came out in theaters weeks apart from each other. They all underperformed greatly at the box office (especially this one) but people are idiots and have poor taste in movies (also all three will kill on video). It's a great B action film, the kind that Stallone and Hill are legendary for!

This movie plays out exactly like a video game, complete with a
Blackberry that feeds objectives and information. The bad guys give up
info way too easy. Sung Gang is wooden and completely cliché for the
good cop role.
That said, if you can live with the video game flow, its a decent action flick with plenty of violence that warrants the title of the film. Stallone is, well he's Stallone, nothing surprising there. Jason Momoa is decent as the killer. To be honest, he's actually a better actor than the script he is given. You don't (or shouldn't) watch these movies for great acting anyway. It delivers on the action mostly and violence totally. They even threw in a couple nude scenes with no point to the story line just to give it that earlier 80's action movie feel before they all started going PG and PG-13.
I give it a 6 because it was only slightly worse than I expected. Classic action movie that seemed like it might have been scripted for a game before it was scripted for movie.
All the ads for "Bullet to the Head" bear the name and image of
Sylvester Stallone, an actor who is perfectly at home in this sort of
picture: a violent shoot-'em-up with a rogue gun-for-hire working with
and against a straight-shooting cop. But, as far as I am concerned,
there should be a second name plastered right alongside Mr. Stallone's.
The extra credit is not, ironically enough, for the Korean actor Sung
Kang, even though he is very good, but instead the film's director. I
walked into "Bullet to the Head" with an open mind, hoping that Mr.
Stallone could keep up the good track record he's had in the last
couple of years (the last "Rambo" and both of the "Expendables"
movies), but when I saw the words 'directed by Walter Hill' in the
opening credits, I knew I was in for a good time.
It's a little hard to believe that this is the first time these two men have worked alongside one another, since they've both made their names doing the same general sorts of movies, and both have been kicking around Hollywood for roughly the same length of time. Better late than never, for even though "Bullet to the Head" is a little rougher than it might be, thanks to Mr. Stallone's charisma and Mr. Hill's sure hand for coordinating action, this movie does pack a walloping punch.
No time is wasted; the movie gets rolling within the first ten minutes. From the start of things, we know who our protagonist is, we know the central bad guy is, and we know there will be plenty of grisly action sequences. Mr. Stallone and Mr. Kang do have a lot of deliberately amusing moments together, most of the laughs collected whenever they are driving from one seedy New Orleans location to another, bickering about ethics, the justice system, the difference between Japanese and Koreans, and Mr. Stallone's relationship to a sassy tattoo artist played by Sarah Shahi. The villains in the picture are also delightfully self-indulgent: the 'brain' behind the whole operation, which involves the balance of power between organized crime and the justice system, is a crippled man whose signature line is: Never trust a man who doesn't care about money. The subject man is the expected big muscle-man with a smirk, Jason Momoa: a walking mountain of a man who walks in and shoots up an entire bar for little reason other than pleasure.
But what really makes the movie is what Walter Hill has always been a virtuoso at: excellent fight scenes. Mr. Hill sets up his camera at many creative angles. My personal favorite being an overhead shot of Mr. Stallone and Mr. Momoa as they duke it out in a restroom, with one of them being slammed bodily through the stall door and knocking the whole thing down. The camera is also frequently set with wider shots, so we can see more than just a split-second now and then of a fist hitting what we perceive to be somebody's stomach. There is also a great shot where Mr. Kang punches somebody in the mouth, and the man's spittle is caught in an overhead light and shows up as an array of brilliant white specks. Every sort of weapon from handguns to out-dated firefighter axes is used at some point, and, just as the title hints, there are plenty of moments where somebody catches a muzzle blast clean through the forehead. It's exactly the sort of suspension of disbelief that a movie like this needs: a character will waste three or four shots hitting their target in the chest and stomach when, as they demonstrate subsequently, they planned all along to put a fatal round between the eyes.
There's also lots of fun imagery: such as an underwater shot where Mr. Stallone stares down at the submerged body of a man he just killed, and drops the murder weapon right down on top of us. Or a delightfully funny moment where Jason Momoa's head pops out of a scuzzy pond, like something from a 1950s science-fiction flick.
"Bullet to the Head" was a nice surprise: an out of the blue teaming up of two action-movie veterans. Admittedly, the story needs some refining and there are a couple of moments where a key shot seems to be missing (during a climax, a man falls from a rafter and just as he hits the ground, we cut to another scene. A reaction shot would have evened things out and given the scene a more completed feel). But this is a nice kick-start to the new year; of the three movies I've seen in 2013 thus farand all have been action-orientatedthis is the one I would encourage people to see more than once. I have a hankering to see it again, myself, as a matter of fact.
With this movie Stallone is back and in surprisingly good shape. That
is a good thing since the enjoyment of this movie is pretty much
Stallone and not much else. If you are not a Stallone fan you are most
likely not going to enjoy this movie.
I cannot help making a comparison to Arnold Schwarzenegger's comeback movie The Last Stand. These films are quite different in approach. In The Last Stand, Schwarzenegger was playing his age and not trying to be all gung ho "I'm back" and still feel young. The script however was quite okay. I had my reservations about certain parts but at least someone had put some effort into it.
This movie, well Stallone is indeed back and he is truly kicking ass. To my surprise he actually manages to pull it off. I loved every minute of Stallone being on screen. However, for this movie, someone must have misplaced the real script and quickly thrown something together in order to get 90 minutes of screen time for Stallone. The story, well let us just say that I am not impressed. It is pretty much just there in the background to tie together the various action scenes. Not much thought seems to have gone into it. Especially the ending is quite disappointing and seems very rushed.
Some people have complained about the violence. Well, what did you guys expect? It is a Stallone comeback movie. If you are going to be upset about violence then do not watch Stallone movies. Personally I enjoyed the action sequences with Stallone as well as the ones wit he bad guy's hired mercenary. Actually I quite liked this hired mercenary. I made for a suitably impressive adversary. The real bad guys behind him meh. The black guy was okay(ish) though, at least until the end when it all went a bit silly.
The Korean cop, Taylor Kwon, was mostly just silly and dumb. He constantly screwed up and his silly whispering sessions over the phone where he was unknowingly, since he was so bloody stupid, telling the bad guys everything made me squirm in my chair.
The end? Well that was indeed a bit of a disappointment as I said. Kind of "okay let's quickly get everyone out of the way, as in dead, so that we can get on with the final fight between Stallone and the mercenary". I mean, the bad guy mastermind suddenly turns into a total idiot? Could they not have found some more intelligent way to finish him off? The final axe-fight was somewhat cool though.
Bottom line, I enjoyed the movie quite a lot but that was pretty much only because of Stallone and action sequences. I was quite surprised at how well Stallone managed to make a comeback as an action hero. It is really a shame that quite a few other things where just sloppily done or botched up since this could have been a really great movie. Now it is just good and if you are not a Stallone person then it probably just weighs in as okay or even mediocre.
2013 has already brought back two of the coolest, if not the coolest
action heroes: Schwarzenegger and now Stallone. The funny thing about
it all is that Stallone already had his returning movie last year with
the Expendables 2 as it mainly focused around him. Anyways, the trailer
to the movie, as many may have said, looked absolutely horrible and I
didn't really have any intention of seeing this, despite Stallone being
my second favorite action star. Now, I'm kinda glad I saw it The film
is based around Stallone's character James who is on a rampage to
avenge the death of his fellow partner who was killed. Now the story
line has been done to death but there is an alliance formed which was
kinda cool. The most important thing about this movie is that it isn't
trying to take the story far too seriously but keeps it important and
is actually very good if you look at it.
The acting in the movie can be both good and crap but we really don't care much about the acting. Its about the action and having fun and the film knows itself. It actually brings us back to the 80's Stallone we used to love and is really cool! Sure there is plenty of bad dialogue, but no one really cares about that neither with any of the other flaws all for a legit reason; because the film knows what it is.
There is plenty of digital blood which is now commonly used in all action movies and can sometimes get a tad frustrating but is not a big issue.
Overall, I can say that this movie is made for Stallone fans! Worth a watch!
Sly is part of a hit-man team. Their latest job is to kill some guy
who's at a hotel with a prostitute. They kill the guy and
uncharacteristically let the girl live. Later at a bar his partner is
killed and Sly barely survives.
An Asian detective, Kwon, is investigating the dead guy and travels to New Orleans. Magically Kwon, upon seeing the corpse of Sly's partner in the morgue next to the other guy's corpse has an inkling the two deaths are related. He connects the dots and meets Sly. When Sly saves his life they reluctantly partner up. Kwon likes doing things by the book. Sly being the seasoned criminal does things differently, that is, brutally but effectively.
They slowly start following the trail of one bad guy after another. There's the guy who hired Sly's team. The guy behind him, some big shot who organizes an extravagant party and is kidnapped by Sly and Kwon. Then there's the big bad businessman who has real estate plans for New Orleans and has politicians and cops on his payroll. He also has special ops guys as his security staff. One of them is Momoa (the only actor with weirder eyebrows than Sly), who killed Sly's partner and now has kidnapped Sly's daughter, played by the lovely Sarah Shahi.
Bullet to the head is an exhilarating old-fashioned action movie. It has a great setting- New Orleans, great music, a good story and an outstanding cast. It wonderfully violent with plenty of bullets to the head, fist fights, explosions, has some nudity and characters to care about. This is the kind of movie The Expendables should be. They need to hire Walter Hill to direct Expendables 3. This guy knows how to direct an action movie. Bullet to the Head is a fun and intense action movie the likes we haven't seen in a while.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
If you want to see a 90 minute advertisement for the Blackberry phone,
then this film is right up your street. The product placement is so
obvious and in your face, that it feels like Kwon's phone is a third
main character. It should probably get an Oscar for its performance.
Jimi and Kwon need to find a suspect: Kwon googles on his BB. They need
some information about another suspect: Kwon phones the office and has
it all sent to his BB. Is that a bad guy doing something that will
prove that Kwon was right all along? Film it on the BB. Jimi doesn't
believe Kwon that his phone is the best thing since sliced bread:
download everything there is to know about Jimi and show him. It just
really grated on me.
Blackberry's starring role aside, the film still sucked. The plot was the same old rehashed story of the assassin being double crossed and seeking revenge. About 10 or 20 minutes in, just in case you can't figure out what is going on, Christian Slater gives a monologue that explains exactly why the bad guys are bad, what their evil plan is, and gives the James-Bond-villain's-sidekick-esque bad guy his orders. So if you were confused before, there is no need now.
There is so much bad in this film that I am just going to skip to the end. Kwon hooking up with Lisa was quite obvious from the start. The big show-down too. Khal Drogo's desire to end it all through one-on-one combat with fire axes was stupid, and obviously going to result in his own death (not forgetting that as soon as you saw Jimi take the knife off of Jon Seda in the beginning, you knew that would be the weapon that would perform the finishing blow to Khal Drogo). Jimi and Kwon still not being friends at the end was also plain to see.
The only things that saved this film from having me fall asleep were: not wanting to miss Sarah Shahi, and some interesting cinematography in some points. The black and white opening scene was kind of cool.
All in all, I feel my rating is a bit generous. But I gave 1 star because I can't go lower, 1 star for Sarah Shahi (whom I love), and one star for a few moments of vaguely interesting cinematography.

California's Zach Maynard kept throwing the ball to Tevin McDonald. Trouble is, McDonald plays for UCLA. McDonald, a freshman safety, made the first three interceptions of his college career, Derrick Coleman scored three touchdowns, and the Bruins bounced back from one of their most embarrassing losses in years to beat the Golden Bears 31-14 on Saturday. ''We know we can't win games by turning the ball over,'' Cal coach Jeff Tedford said. ''(Maynard) missed on a couple overthrows, and that cost us at crucial times. You have to be accurate.'' Maynard completed 14 of 30 passes for 199 yards, but was intercepted four times - three by McDonald and once by Aaron Hester. The Golden Bears added a fifth turnover on a lost fumble. The Bruins scored 24 of their 31 points after turnovers in handing Cal (4-4, 1-4 Pac-12) its fourth loss in five games. Coleman scored on a 2-yard run in the second quarter and runs of 20 and 24 yards in the final period. He finished with 80 yards on 16 carrie...

A Lecture Discussion event on Thursday, May 14
I am inviting you to join me on Thursday Evening, May 14, at 7:00 p.m to discuss Lecture #200, "The Cosmic Feeling."
We will meet at 2W Central Park West (southwest corner of Central Park West and 88th Street).
The lecture presentation is free. Come and bring a friend!
-- Erena Bramos, Pathwork Helper
Ongoing: An Invitation to the Pathwork: A Full-Year Course, Beginning on January 22 in New Jersey.
Click here: Invitation
The Pathwork is a spiritual path of self-purification and self-transfor- mation on all levels of conscious- ness. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing, accepting, learning to know and ultimately transforming our Lower Self or shadow side of our nature. Pathwork helps us understand that through honest self-examination, with carefully applied tools and practices, we can overcome and remove the inner obstacles that keep us from living fully from and in our Godself, our true nature.
The Pathwork is not dogmatic. It bridges psychology and spiritual practice. It places the greatest emphasis on freedom and self-responsibility. It does ask us to be willing to examine our beliefs, and to accept the inner authority of the Higher Self.
The Pathwork encourages us to develop a healthy, mature ego. For it is only when the ego is strengthened, and purified of its misconceptions about life and its own task, that we can go beyond it and understand that the ego that wills, plans, and controls is only a part of our greater self. By using the ego to transcend itself, we are afforded a way to become fully and consciously who we are: our Godself or higher self.
We all yearn for deeper, more loving relationships, and we all want more physical pleasure, vitality, and abundance. Ultimately, we want a sense of purpose for our lives that only comes with intimate contact with God.
The Pathwork is based in a collection of teachings (the Pathwork Lectures) that help us see and understand ourselves, enabling us to gradually remove the obstacles that keep us separate from others, separate from the source of our creativity and life energy, from our divine core.
Find out more about the Pathwork Lectures here.

AboutAmorphous shapes, tentacles, orchids, guns, machines these are just some of the things that can be seen in Yu-Chen Wang's complex and absorbing drawings. But the abstract pencil and watercolour markings could easily be mistaken for traces of a parallel universe or science fiction scenery. The fluid and wispy lines suggest mysterious architecture and superfluous floating islands from an unknown space or time. In I'm Going to Where You're Coming From (2008), a âboat-like' structure is flowing through the sea or perhaps the sky evocative of the boathouse currently visible on the rooftop of the Queen Elizabeth Hall. An orchid inexplicably grows out of the top of this surreal object, disrupting the size and scale of the vessel. Made only with pencil, Wang's latest series of works entitled Achromatic (2012) invites the viewer to take a closer look at the tiny details. Nuts and bolts, wires, flowers, and even strands of hair, smoke or droplets of water are intricately depicted. These biomorphic objects are all linked and work together, like bizarre sea creatures or molecules swimming in uncharted territory. For Hayward Gallery's Concrete café, Wang has been invited to create an ongoing assemblage which will change over the course of the exhibition. Coloured pencil drawings will organically mutate/develop into collage. Eventually, tentacles veer off the page to embrace parts of the café we usually ignore - a light switch, cables, plugs - and pieces of wood affix to the wall as extensions of the paper. Join us for the culmination of this evolving work on 2 December 2012 in Dan Graham's Waterloo Sunset Pavilion where there will also be a screening of Wang's latest artist film The Splash and A Last Drop (2011) and the launch of her first artist's book, The Song of the Machines (2012), published by Chinese Arts Centre, Manchester.

Playmakers of Baton Rouge announces its Summer Musical
Shrek the Musical TYA
Playmakers of Baton Rouge announces its summer musical, Shrek the Musical TYA from June 5 – 14, 2015 at the LSU Reilly Theatre.
Everyone's favorite upside-down fairytale comes to the Reilly Theatre when Playmakers of Baton Rouge presents Shrek the Musical TYA, a song-and dance-filled stage adaptation of the Oscar-winning DreamWorks™ animated film.
For their 32nd season, Playmakers of Baton Rouge re-creates the fantasy Kingdom of Far Far Away—with many hilarious, irreverent twists. Instead of a knight riding a noble steed, the hero is Shrek, a swamp-dwelling ogre teamed up with a chatterbox donkey. And the princess? She's the slightly temperamental Fiona. After Shrek rescues Fiona from a dragon-guarded tower, the two fall in love before she reveals there's more to her than meets the eye. Other fairytale misfits add surprises: from a Gingerbread Man with an attitude to Three Blind Mice channeling their inner Dreamgirls.
Show dates are:
- Friday, June 5 at 7pm
- Saturday, June 6 at 11am and 2:30pm
- Sunday, June 7 at 2:30pm
- Saturday, June 13 at 11am and 2:30pm
- Sunday, June 14 at 2:30pm
Tickets are $20 for Adults and $15 for Children (ages 2 – 11) and can be purchased at PlaymakersBR.org. For more information, contact Artistic Director Anthony McMurray at firstname.lastname@example.com or (225) 578-6996.

"We had a 5-night stay here and I just can't say enough about Michael (I give him 5 stars). He is an outstanding host, friendly, responsive, prompt, and very knowledgeable about the island. We had a party of 7 adults and the property provided ample space and some amazing views of the island. It also has a variety of books, games, and movies...not that you will have much time for that if you venture out and explore some of Michael's hidden treasures."Guest: SleelersLady Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: May 13, 2015View listing
"If you are the type of person/people that love nature, camping, and moving away from crowded cities, then you are looking for the suitable place. For us as a family with an 11 year old daughter, who loves to explore wild places, Cane Bay Campground was totally unexpectedly luxurious! The cabin, camp site, and bathroom facilities were perfectly organized and cozy. Thanks to the owners Jill and Bryan Updyke, the best, warmest, and friendliest hosts who made us feel at home. P.S. You do not need to bring an alarm clock with you, there is a rooster that will bring joy with his cry's in the morning! =]"Guest: P.A.M Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: March 1, 2015View listing
"We had an amazing time on St. Croix and the best part was Villa Dawn! The home couldn't be in a better location, it really is 5 minutes to the dive shop and Eat at Cane Bay and 4 Minutes to Off the Wall, both food and fun are within easy walking distance. Kent and Dawn are great to work with and very responsive if any situation arises. The home is well stocked, (I think we added a few items for your next guests), and the view is stunning! Sitting on the bar stools in the pool every evening with your favorite beverage watching the sunset over the bay is a magical time, and having pool-safe drink ware (even martini glasses!) made it easy and carefree. The beds are truly comfortable, and the sound of the ocean waves lull you to sleep each night. Even when it rains, (only for a few minutes), the covered deck is expansive and became our favorite night-time hangout after our daily pool swim. An incredible Weber gas grill is also under the deck, we put it to good use with fresh seafood when we felt like cooking at home. Make sure to try the Duck Chili at Eat at Cane Bay, the Pizza at Off the Wall, and anything on the menu at Rowdy Joe's is incredible. With the great folks at the Cane Bay Dive Shop minutes away just drop off your gear with them and schedule a few dives without the hassle of carrying everything back and forth. Ellen, Graham, and I can't thank you enough for making your home available to us for our vacation, I hope we respected it enough to be allowed back for another stay!"Guest: Scott & Ellen Date of Stay: November 2014 Review Submitted: November 29, 2014View listing
"We enjoyed a great nine day vacation at Estate Cane Bay! The owners, Linn and Donna, were very accommodating to our needs. Their house is gorgeous and was immaculate, furnished with everything you could possibly need. The ocean view/sunsets from the house and spacious patios were breathtaking. We really appreciated the gourmet, well stocked kitchen. We loved bring able to mix up cooking at "home" and going out. Some of our favorite island restaurants were Off the Wall (great pizza and sunset shots), Villa Morales for a great Puerto Rican flavor, and Castaways for excellent lunch value. We thoroughly enjoyed lobster at Duggan's Reef our last night there. We had a wonderful family vacation relaxing at the beach, floating in the saltwater pool, sailing to Buck Island for snorkeling, shopping in Chritiansted, and so much more! This was a once-in-a-lifetime family vacation for us, and we would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Linn and Donna, for sharing your lovely home!!"Guest: Maggie Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 24, 2015View listing

On Tuesday the Davison County Commissioners refused to extend a TIF to Puetz Corporation:
The Davison County Commission denied a request to delay the payoff date for the tax increment financing district plan for apartments at Mitchell Technical Institute.
The commissioners, holding a regular meeting Tuesday at the Davison County North Offices in Mitchell, voted 5-0 against the plan, primarily taking objection with the developer, Puetz Development LLC, of Mitchell, attempting to use the discretionary formula to pay for future year's taxes.
And one of the commissioners correctly points what I have been saying on this blog:
The commission wasn't very receptive to the idea, saying that using the discretionary formula and a TIF district runs the risk of "double-dipping" on incentives. They were also displeased with changing a project plan that had already been approved.
"You're changing it midstream," said Denny Kiner, who said he saw it as "breaking the original contract."
Deputy State's Attorney Jim Taylor advised the commission on the two main points used in the denial, saying the original plan didn't call for discretionary formula treatment and that the change would keep tax revenues away from the general fund for two extra years.
The proposal was approved by the Mitchell TIF Finance Committee April 21, and the Mitchell City Council approved the request for an abatement of taxes during its June 15 meeting. Commissioner Randy Reider expressed frustration about the city redirecting county property taxes.
So the City of Mitchell use of TIFs for economic development purposes ends up being a shift of monies from the taxpayers and into the hands of private business interests. In this case it is Puetz Corporation, whose was recently awarded a $14 million contract for a fine arts center for the Mitchell public schools that was 15% over budget.
David Swenson from Iowa State has done extensive research that says TIFs are not justified based on economics:
Proponents of this practice must look beyond economic principles to justify the practice, to include:
• The use of TIF authority enticed private investment that otherwise would have been indifferent to the community;
• The TIF authority is being used to substantially change or diversify the local economic structure as part of a comprehensive effort to raise area standards of living, stabilize a community, or address important social issues like pervasive unemployment or underemployment; or
• The TIF authority provides local investment "match" funds to be used to leverage state or federal aid.
These reasons may make sense at the local government level, but they are difficult to justify using economic principles on several grounds.
• There is little evidence to support the assertion that local incentives actually determine business locations. In fact there is a growing amount of research indicating the vast majority of businesses would have otherwise located in the "winning" jurisdiction, nonetheless;
• There is also precious little evidence indicating that local economic development activities substantially alter overall regional economic opportunities – the ability of a community to influence broad economic factors is limited; and
• Communities have many alternative economic development program abilities allowing them to substantially address business needs for infrastructure, to provide targeted and limited tax breaks, and to generate resources that might be used to leverage state or federal funds. These include existing general obligation bonding authority, capital reserve funding, and itemized budgeted amounts for those purposes.
• Finally, principles of intergovernmental fairness would question the legitimacy for taking other governments' property tax collections in the name of economic development objectives.
Many communities in Iowa have suffered from losses in downtown commercial activity, industrial re-location, and population stagnation or loss.
And the negative impact on downtown Mitchell and the north side mall and other retail establishments due to the I-90 corridor development is discussed in an earlier post.
Cory Heidelberger is also covering a proposed I-90 corridor development at Spearfish:
Predictably, the developers aren't just buying the land and making profit-magic happen. They are hoping for taxpayers to bear much of their costs through a business improvement district, tax increment finance districts, and public-private partnerships. The TIF might be not only the usual property tax arrangement, in which any additional tax revenue created by the development goes to pay off the developers' construction loans instead of toward public works, but also a sales tax deal that would allow businesses in the new development to divert their sales taxes toward their expenses as well. Arrgghh!—are there no true capitalists left?
The Spearfish developers cite Cabela's in Mitchell as an example of TIF and other taxpayer subsidies promoting economic development in South Dakota.
And this isn't just a natural free market response to customers' wants and needs. This is part of a "plan":
Local developers are proposing the Dakota Meadows project. The project isn't just another housing subdivision, but a development designed to draw people to the area with amenities to include an indoor hockey arena that could host other sporting events and trade shows, a 322,000-square-foot outdoor lifestyle shopping center, three hotels and restaurants, an outdoor sports complex, a furniture store, a school, a travel center, and 400-500 acres of home sites near the intersection of Interstate 90 and Highway 85 at Exit 10 [Mark Watson, "$210 Million Development Proposed for Spearfish," Black Hills Pioneer, 2015.06.30].
The taxpayers are being asked to fund a plan that have been no part of. Most of the benefit will be going to those who have been involved with the plan. That planning is done behind close doors or in informal settings so that the public, that is now being asked to help fund it, are in the dark.
Like Puetz Corporation in Mitchell, it will be a small number of business interests who will garner most of the benefit as they have inside knowledge of the plans and thereby have an advantage over the rest of the community. And as I have already covered, Ball State has research that says such types of economic development does not increase employment. The increase is the amount of money business owners have in their pockets.
This is the result of crony capitalism, which is not an economic system that uses a free market system to enhance competition. It instead picks winners and losers determined those who are members of the Chamber and Development Corps. These are non-governmental entities that include elected governmental officials on their boards, and that is how the informal "public/private partnerships" are formed. There is also research that warns about corruption in such relationships. I am not saying that the people involved are corrupt. I am saying the system creates legalized corruption by well intended people who believe they are doing the community good. Based on the three linked sources of research in this post, I argue that they are wrong. The competition is not where it belongs. The competition is for who can get the most out of the taxpayers. One community wins, all the other communities lose. And in the winning community, there are those who will also lose.

Product description
This is a hands-on, step-by-step guide to Stanislavsky's famous 'System' that illustrates, with exercises, each of his famous acting techniques. This comprehensive introduction to Stanislavsky is organised into three sections - Training; Rehearsal; and Performance. Each section offers definitions of the key terms found in Stanislavsky's teaching, illustrated with quotations and examples from Stanislavsky's own work. A final section offers a series of exercises to help today's actors practise using each of the 'tools' in turn. These include techniques such as given circumstances, the magic 'if' and emotion memory, which have made Stanislavsky famous the world over, but also some 50 others introduced one by one as they might become useful in the process of building a performance. "The Complete Stanislavsky Toolkit" brings together in one volume for the first time all the terms and ideas explored and modified by Stanislavsky throughout his life from the early 1890s until his death in 1938. It is aimed chiefly at drama students, though professional actors and directors will also find it invaluable.

Still getting to know DC
I've lived in DC on and off since college, and the more I explore it, the more I realize I'm just scratching the surface. I love how it continues to surprise me. I like to see new sights, hear new ideas, and meet new people. I also like becoming a regular at my neighborhood coffee place, rereading favorite books, and have friends from both childhood and college who are like family. I work as a speechwriter and enjoy pretty much anything creative - art galleries, street performers, poetry fridge magnets. In my free time, I also love to be active and be outside - hiking, cycling, jogging. I've been slowly learning how to rock climb indoors and look forward to taking it outdoors soon. Travel, good conversation, a good meal, a nice drink all make me happy too. I'm looking for someone who is thoughtful, kind to others, open-minded and has a good sense of humor. I'll leave it there for now, but if you'd like to know more, please just ask!

That's the story Jenny Paul is selling with 'Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: The True Story,' anyway. "Hollywood will be rocked by these revelations about Brad and Angelina," Paul tells Life & Style magazine.
Call us skeptics. After the jump, we look at some of the book's super scandalous "revelations," including the massive rock star Angie supposedly shacked up with.
Life & Style reports the book will reveal Angelina was sleeping with both Ralph Fiennes and ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller at the beginning of her involvement with Brad in 2004. Jolie's relationship with Fiennes was apparently a saucy one -- the pair supposedly engaged in regular S&M sessions at a London hotel, after which they would older room service and watch the news. Um...
Immediately before her involvement with Pitt began, the actress had also reportedly just broken up with Colin Farrell after a four month relationship because he became obsessed with her, drank too much and wasn't a good role model for Maddox.
Busy lady!
Perhaps the most shocking bit of dirty laundry the book airs is that Angie slept with Mick Jagger while he was married to Jerry Hall. She met the rock star when she starred in the 1997 Rolling Stones video for 'Anybody Seen My Baby.' In 1997, Angelina Jolie was 22 years old. Mick Jagger was 54. Yikes.
It all seems a tad too sensational to be true, no? The author tells Life & Style she's researched for six years and spoke to those closest to the couple, i.e. "Angelina's late mother's former boyfriend Bill Day and Angelina's old confidant, rock singer Texas Terri." Huh?
On that note, Amazon.com turns up nothing on Jenny Paul or the book.
The biggest reveal we've learned thus far is that Brad and Angelina have a master plan to increase their brood to a whopping 13 children. "Some will be adopted, some will be biological," Paul says.
Stars of this caliber would have to grant months of unfettered access for such a tell-all to be empirically valid. Until Jenny Paul flashes more cred, we're gonna go ahead and remain skeptical.

Angelina Jolie has slept with a whole lot of people and she's basically told us that and at times she has even told more than we need to know about her affairs. She reminds me of a woman who does not have female friends, does not want or need female friends unless they are lovers of course going back to the days when she was into women. Sure some women (especially those with boyfriends or husbands, probably would shy away from her) for fear that she would attract their own significant other. And I use the word "attract" because I do not thing people can be "stolen" by others. They can be easily influenced by them and fall for them but not stolen. It will make for a very interesting read that's for sure.

i dont get why everyone hate jolie, she and brad have been together for years. i with every one would get over the fact that when they fell in love he was still married to aniston. as far as i can tell, he wanted to start a family and aniston wasn't ready. he and jolie started working together and the rest was history. pitt and aniston were having problems months before jolie stepped in. their marrage was already ending. i think this book would be a good thing. it would answer alot of questions and clear the air. maybe after the book is published people will move on.

Angelina hasn't had many men, a total of 5 guys isn't a wh.r., she's been pretty honest and open about her relationships and that's why I like her. So many people adore Angelina. I also agree a man can't be stolen, I'm so confused poor helpless Brad was dragged kickind and sceaming away while people just stared. lol

Colon Masterful as Yankees Roll
OAKLAND—This winter, the Yankees tried to throw huge dollars at Cliff Lee, only to see him take $120 million from the Philadelphia Phillies instead.
Burned, they rolled the dice on Bartolo Colon, who signed for a paltry $900,000 after spending 2010 out of baseball.
What were the odds that at the end of May, the Yankees could say they got the more effective pitcher?
Stunningly, so far, they can. Lee has a 4-4 record and a 3.50 ERA for the Phillies. Colon, after pitching a complete game, four-hit, no-walk masterpiece against the Oakland A's Monday, has a 3-3 record and a 3.26 ERA.
It was his first shutout since 2006, as Colon has proven that he's back. Now the only question is how long he can keep this up.
Monday, the Athletics never had a chance, as Colon picked them apart in New York's 5-0 win.
Josh Willingham doubled to right-center in the second inning, robbing the crowd of drama on a day when Colon had no-hit stuff. Colon then stayed perfect until the sixth inning, when he gave up a single to Kevin Kouzmanoff.
In the eighth inning, Colon was still pitching in the mid-90s, cruising past the overmatched Athletics. He let light-hitting Cliff Pennington lead off with a double, then stranded him on the bases. Before the ninth inning, Colon told manager Joe Girardi that he could pitch two more innings if needed.
"I think his last pitch was 95 miles an hour," Girardi said. "He has the ability—he gives up a leadoff double in the ninth, and they don't score again. He knows how to do it. He's been doing it for a long time."
Colon is making an unlikely case for an All-Star berth. He doesn't walk anyone. His strikeout-to-walk ratio is sixth-best in the American League—and he rarely makes mistakes. He has stamina, strikeout ability and veteran savvy. He thinks he's a better pitcher now than when he was 28, because he's smarter and throws more strikes.
"I feel really good right now. It doesn't matter if I'm 38 years old. I feel really good right now," Colon said.
Without Colon, the Yankees would be far behind the Red Sox and Rays in the AL East.
"If we didn't have him in our rotation, we'd be scrambling right now," first baseman Mark Teixeira said.
There is a reason behind Colon's late-career resurgence. He underwent an experimental procedure in the spring of 2010 where stem cells were used to rebuild his injured elbow and shoulder. He is the only known major league pitcher to undergo such a procedure, and so for the moment, he is in uncharted waters. It is not clear how long he can continue to perform like this —perhaps only a few more starts, perhaps indefinitely. The Yankees are building in extra days of rest for Colon to ease the burden on his rebuilt arm and aging body.
Derek Jeter said he and his teammates don't worry about Colon falling apart. "As long as he does it five days from now. I don't sit around and try to predict the future."
Colon threw so well that it felt like he was the only pitcher in the park, but Oakland's Trevor Cahill shut down the Yankees for much of the game. Fortunately, the Yankees got their runs early, and that would be all they needed.
Sixteen years ago Monday, Jeter notched his first career hit in his second game, and fittingly, he led off this game with a single. As Jeter stood on first, Teixeira got the Yankees out to an early lead, crushing a home run to right field, his 16th of the season.
Robinson Cano added another with an RBI single, and then Cahill held the Yankees virtually hitless for the next six innings, allowing only a single to Francisco Cervelli in the second.
