One thing I love about Winamp is its compact size, and being able to stay on top. For the past month or so, it won't stay on top.
I have tried:
- restarting the program: No change
- unchecking/rechecking the 'Always on Top' menu option: No change
- putting it on top of different programs, but as soon as the other programs get focus, it snaps back again: No Change
- changing the Theme from the Aero Windows 7 theme to just Windows Classic: No change
- changing the Winamp skin from Classic to Modern and even back again: No change
- uninstalling and reinstalling the application: No change.
What more can I try, or look into, to get Winamp to Stay On Top?

Released: Feb 01st, 2007
Running Time: 171
Director: Jazz Duro
Company: Buttman Magazine Choice
Cast: Yasmin Vianna, Mariana, Lorena, Katrina Kraven, Jazz Duro
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
If Hollywood director Ron Howard had entitled his boxing film Brutal Violent Fighting instead of Cinderella Man, he probably would have gotten a lot more people to actually see it. This aptly titled release by director/performer Jazz Duro makes no such mistake.
Lorena kicks things off by sliding four fingers up her turd-box while crawling with her jeans around her knees. After stuffing an enormous butt plug into her colon, Lorena is stooge-slapped repeatedly by Duro as he throttles her face. Lorena's complete anal submission follows as Duro brutalizes her anus with relentless force.
Katrina Kraven starts her scene in tight white pants, but slips into numerous dildos and plugs during a mesmerizing rectal stretch. Big Butt Sluts is right.

The overall trend now ( at least within the Starboard range) seems to be to go wider at the front straps but narrower at the tail. This all started with the IS 110 as a replacement for the 122/121 I think albeit that also saw a reduction in volume. The theory is that the extra width aids earlier planing whilst the narrower tail improves speed and control once planing and makes gybing better. If the 110 is a guide it does however mean using a smaller fin than you might think and not using a sailing style that relies on volume in the tail. I think there is also a limit to how far you go with this design theory before you throw the baby out with the bath water. My best guess is that the additional width at the straps will benefit heavier riders most.
I have covered some of this ground before, but to repeat the salient part, I have the IS 107 at 68.5 wide and the IS 110 at 75 wide ( the replacement for the more standard 120l /75cm wide predecessors). The IS 107 is an absolute dream in almost any conditions and relatively easy to tune, but the IS 110 has taken me virtually a complete season to get to grips with. Mast foot position is even more critical than my other slalom boards, as is fin profile and sail set up. Get it right and the design brief does work.....i.e. same early planing and floatability as a board with much more volume but with the speed and control and gybing of a board much smaller.

I certainly like my 2015 isonic 130.Previously Bigfish

Its all a bit dead on the forum so I thought it was time to do a comparison between the ultrasonic and the isonic 130. I imagine the same finding could apply to other brands as well.
A few things have been said recently about other early planning boards and people not liking them - You must view the board and rig as a complete package. There is little to be gained by having one of the early planing boards and sticking a 7.5 on it. Yes it will plain earlyish but those boards have so much lift that a 7.5 rig won't pin it down so control becomes a major issue and although counter intuitive when loosing control you are sometimes better off with a larger rather than smaller sail. Anyway onto comparison.
Early planing - Not a lot in it, you have to be more active on the isonic due to it being quite a bit shorter. If you had or could quantify it then maybe the isonic needs half a kt more wind and you need to take it further off the wind to get the release in light winds. So when do they plane? About 8 to 9 kts with a good 9.5 sail.
keeping planing - again very little in it. probably the US keeps going through a lull a touch longer but I think the difference could be down to its bigger fin. With the same fin they would be the same as the isonic will generally be going a kt or two quicker when it enters the lull. Both boards can go through a 6 or 7 kt hole in the wind.
Speed - the isonic is quicker, no surprise there.
Top end - isonic, again its a race boards and you are securely locked onto the rail.
Summery - The US is easier to plane early, you can be more heavy footed with it, but with more effort and skill the isonic can just about match it. Once going the the isonic is the better ride.
NB. this type of sailing the boards will only be as good as the rig lets them.Previously Bigfish

I agree, a large iS when worked hard is great fun. For me it is much more fun than the big early planers such as the US. I just find them dull, that planing at low speed feeling is somehow very lifeless. I felt the same when I was a lot lighter and playing on big freestyle boards. Having said that on the big freestyle boards at least I could have some fun on them falling in trying to do silly twisty moves that my body usually regretted. So for me, I could have more fun either on a large slalom board such as the iS130 or on a longboard.

Useful review. I have the IS 127 rather than 130 but not much difference I think. I agree your comments on the light wind and glide capability of the IS and that can be further enhanced by using a race rather than slalom fin in a slightly longer size but you pay the penalty if the wind picks up...........extreme rear leg burn to get the board to do anything but charge upwind is the usual outcome, so I stick with a 47cm slalom fin.
One area you did not comment on was the ability of both boards to cope with stronger winds and rough water. In that respect I have been amazed by the IS 127 in winds much stronger than you want typically want to be on a board of that size and that capability appears to have improved compared to my previous model ( IS133). It is also possible to use the IS 127 with pretty small sails and get good trim. I have used 7m RAM with it on days when the wind has been patchy and even with that still use a mast foot position rear of centre with no uncontrolled nose lift.
10th May 2015, 05:48 PM #77
Maybe I should have expanded my "locked onto the rail" comment for top end. Yes the isonic is better as you would expect. I think the 2015 isonics are better as there is actually very little behind you back foot. It is like a small extension sticking out the back of the board to take the fin.
The US feels like a "magic carpet" it sort of hovers over the water, doing its thing but not giving you a lot of feed back. The isonic is a much more direct feeling board. I don't like talking about sail range as it is quite a personal thing but one way to look at it would be - the isonic 130 is PWA competitive with 8.6 to 9.6 it will take smaller sails but you wouldn't win a top level race on it with a smaller sail. But that is probably not important to most users (including me).
I think the best way to decide which board suits you best for early planing would be if you are honestly going to stay dry for 90+% of your gybes the isonic is the better board other wise the US is the way to go, it is still a very good board and also opens up the option of 10+m sails but I can't comment on that.Previously Bigfish

In the summer of 1929 Weimar Germany still has a secret military agreement with the USSR to develop new weapons beyond the Ural Mountains. Ultimately, both want to dismember the newly revived independent Poland, but to distract Britain from helping the Poles, the new Irish Free State is placed at risk by conspirators and arms dealers intent on fomenting an IRA coup d'état.
Winston Churchill is about to travel to North America when the new Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald asks him to handle a secret assignment. The IRA intends to buy large quantities of arms in the United States and an SIS team will investigate. Churchill is to enlist American President Herbert Hoover to prevent the weapons from reaching Ireland. But Churchill has his own unofficial team gather evidence as well.
Bourke Cockran Jr., a law professor and former military intelligence agent, is the son of Churchill's old Irish American mentor. Mattie McGary, Churchill's goddaughter, works for William Randolph Hearst. Attracted to each other, their tempers often clash as Cockran and Mattie follow a trail from New York to Los Angeles through Canada to discover who is funding the IRA and where the arms are assembled.
But Mattie is also keeping secrets from Cockran, who has an agenda of revenge: to kill the leader of the IRA team who is responsible for the murder of his wife in the Irish Civil War. These plans interfere with foiling the arms shipment and an IRA plot to assassinate Churchill. And time is running out . . .

Reviewed by Richard R. Blake for Reader View (12/10) "The DeValera Deception" is the first in a series of "Winston Churchill Thrillers" by the father-son writing team Michael and Patrick McMenamin. It is set in the era 1929-1939 when Churchill was without power. His was a lone voice warning against the growing power of Nazi Germany. In the summer of 1929 Germany plotted with the USSR in a secret military agreement to develop new weapons. Both countries want to dismember the newly revived independent Poland. To distract Britain from helping Poland, the plot includes a conspiracy to put the new Irish Free State at risk by working with arms dealers. It is the intention of the IRA to buy large quantities of arms in the United States. Winston Churchill is planning a three-month holiday to North America when Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald asks him to take on an assignment to thwart the plans of the arms deal for an IRA overthrow in the new Irish Free State. The plan calls for Churchill to enlist American President Herbert Hoover to prevent the weapons from being delivered to Ireland. British SIS agents are assigned to the project. However Churchill puts together his own unofficial team to gather evidence. This team includes Bourke Cockran, Jr., a former military intelligence agent, and Mattie McGary a photo journalist working for William Randolph Hearst. The two are attracted to each other even though they often conflict as they travel form New York to Los Angeles in an effort to discover who is funding the IRA as well as the locations of where the arms are amassed. Cockran has an agenda of revenge to the kill the leader of the IRA team responsible for the murder of his wife in the Irish Civil War. Mattie has secrets of her own. Churchill, Cockran, and McGary are all targets for assassination. This is a definite page turner. It is a combination of creative historical fact, speculation, and political controversy. Revenge, greed, and power motivate influential men in powerful leadership roles in government, industry, finance, and in the media. The authors carefully develop characters both fictional and real-life with additional images superimposed into Churchill's personality to better serve the role played out as the story is unveiled. As a member of English Parliament Churchill is described as: impulsive, a calculating romantic, with a reputation as being a swashbuckler, an opportunist. This is a novel that includes universal interest, a historical setting with a fictional plot which features all of the elements of the "Mystery Thriller" genre. The authors are steeped in information and details from this era in history and Winston Churchill in particular. The Geneva Plan, IRA, and the politics of Irish freedom are all included in the development of the many-faceted complexities of an intricate plot. I especially enjoyed the authors' attention to detail and the note of authenticity when describing unique and well-known locations of interest in each of the various locales mentioned in the narrative. The reader is soon asking the question, "What if? What if this really happened?" "The DeValera Deception" adds a new dimension of international intrigue, terrorism, conspiracy, and personal revenge to the genre of historical fiction which is entertaining and highly informational.
There are only a few authors who can create readable, believable historical fiction, and there are even fewer who can create a thriller within that genre. The father and son writing team of Michael and Patrick McMenamin are definitely the exception. With The De Valera Deception, the first book in what looks to be an amazing series, the McMenamin's have recreated the robust world of the late 1920's just before the Depression. This is a world of gin, jazz, the Industrial Revolution, women's suffrage and the beginning of some modern day world-wide conspiracies. Bourke Cockran is summoned by Winston Churchill to investigate how the Irish Republican Army is getting arms from the German government through channels in the United States. With the help of Mattie McGary, a photojournalist for Hearst and the god-daughter of Churchill, they embark on a non-stop thrill filled adventure from London to New York and places in between. A Germany left bitter after WWI seeks to rebuild its former glory by any means, including a clandestine partnership with the Soviet Union. The beginning of modern spy warfare, international terrorism, and the formation of new European alliances keep Cockran and Mattie barely ahead of the bullets and the law. While their attraction grows, Cockran is still grieving over the loss of his wife who was murdered in the Civil War that erupted in Ireland in 1922. Most of the reason he took the job form Churchill is that he wants revenge at any cost. This thriller is peppered with Soviet assassins, IRA terrorists, government bureaucracy, legendary historical figures, and notorious gangsters that give the reader an intense and intriguing read. The DeValera Deception is an excellent novel, woven with rich historical detail that breaths vitality and life into the people of an often overlooked era.

League boss Ross Livermore haunted by depression, wife reveals
- From: The Sunday Mail (Qld)
- April 21, 2013
TEARS in her eyes, a hole in her heart, Meralda Livermore still forces a smile at the irony of Queensland's footballing tragedy.
Now 62, she had ostensibly been Queensland Rugby League's First Lady for three decades.
For 41 years, she was the devoted wife to Ross Livermore, the iconic administrator who shocked rugby league on Tuesday with a death that was as seismic as it was sudden.
They were about to celebrate their 42nd wedding anniversary. To others, Livermore the man seemed impervious to weakness. Meralda knew different. She was the glue that held her man, and the Livermore clan, as one. She soothed him through his many crises.
She fell in love with his "crystal green eyes", moral code and passion, which extended to a penchant for American rock band the Eagles.
Fittingly, at his memorial service at Suncorp Stadium on Friday, the hit song Take it Easy paid tribute to his passing.
But Livermore rarely did. Today, in a heartfelt interview with The Sunday Mail, Meralda opens up about their life and times, their bond, and her husband's private, intermittent battle with depression for the past 36 years.
"To be honest, I always thought he would die at work with his boots on," says Meralda, who was by his side during his 31-year tenure at the QRL between 1980-2011.
"When he retired, I cried as we walked into his farewell (dinner) at Suncorp. Nick (their son) said, 'Mum, why are you crying . . . I thought you would look forward to this day'.
"I said: 'I never thought it would happen.'
"Ross was unaware of his depression for a long time. It came and went. The first was in 1977. We were married seven years and he had his first bout of depression. Then I fell pregnant, and suddenly we had to worry about someone else.
"I honestly thought he would die on the job. He gave so much. He did the job of three people and that's what got him in the end."
If anyone doubted Livermore's contribution to the code, it was crystallised at Suncorp on Friday.
Among the throng of around 500 were some of League's greatest luminaries - Darren Lockyer, Wayne Bennett, Allan Langer, Wally Lewis, the Walters boys Steve, Kerrod and Kevin. And of course Ken Arthurson, the former ARL supremo who found a trusted soldier in Livermore when the Super League war broke out in the mid-1990s.
Meralda admits Livermore's years of QRL championing and politicking sapped his zest for life. It was gradual, almost imperceptible. Upon his retirement, confronting a void once filled by 12-hour days at the QRL, Livermore slipped into a dark world.
With the help of Meralda and children Helen and Nick, Livermore sought treatment for depression. He underwent counselling. He spent time in mental health wards at the Princess Alexandra and Belmont hospitals. And while he reluctantly accepted medication, he was buoyed by regular visits from several league identities including former Maroons coach Bennett.
In his remaining months, Meralda says Livermore found solace in religion. She says the arrival of grandchildren Amelie, 3, and Aubrey, 1, had softened him. But Livermore was nothing without his word and his pride. And, perhaps, the job that defined him. His last words to his wife are compelling.
"He said, 'These doctors won't tell me what to do'," Meralda recalls.
"I know he worried about getting old. His mum had deteriorated with dementia, it took her many years to pass, and Ross didn't want to go that way. When we were seeing the counsellor, Ross couldn't realise why he had this struggle with depression for so many years. He forced himself to get up and work every day.
"Ross just got up and got it done."
Professionally, Livermore never missed a beat. His mind was razor-sharp, but his health became a concern. During his most stressful moments, he drank frequently and smoked 60 cigarettes daily. He went cold turkey in 2000 when the nicotine began to drain his fingers and feet of feeling.
"He was completely burnt out in the end," Meralda says.
"We had planned to travel Australia in a mobile home, but his appetite for life drowned out of him . . . The battles he went through with the Super League war, and all the other stresses . . . something in his person changed.
"Even before he started at the QRL he was always driven. But he was terrified of not having a purpose. The only real hobby he had was fishing and even that started to go, which was really odd."
Her constitution forged by the work ethic and strength of Greek immigrant parents, Meralda laughs at their yin-yang pairing.
Livermore was pragmatic, steadfast and Anglo-Saxon. She was idealistic, supportive and ethnic.
"We worked in the public service together and I would sell chook-raffle tickets at his footy club to impress him. Because of my Greek traditions, I wasn't allowed out so he had to come and visit me at home for six months. Our first date was the trots at Albion Park . . . he was a hopeless romantic."
But Meralda admired the traits that would define his successes in rugby league.
"He was a man of integrity, of utmost loyalty . . . the handshake meant everything to Ross," she says.
"If he promised something, that was it, he stood by it.
"That's what I loved him for. He never wavered."
At times, his work eroded his family time. Son Nick recalls waiting hours for Livermore to arrive home from work on Christmas Eve, only to take a work call the minute he walked in the door.
"It wasn't selfish motivations. He loved his family but I think Dad was driven by a fear of failure. He hated letting people down," says Nick.
"I clearly remember the night Ron McAuliffe (the former QRL chairman who gave Livermore his first job) passed away.
"It was the first time I saw Dad cry.
"My relationship with Dad was non-existent until I was 20. I thought he was embarrassed of me because I didn't do well in high school, I sneaked through university and it wasn't until I was 21 he said, 'Mate I'm proud of you'.
"That brought us closer. Since then, we more than made up and we had some great years.
"But I can't overstate how much Mum sacrificed for Ross to have the life he did. Without her, we would have seen him pass a decade ago."
Now the Livermores face their own void. Life won't be the same, but Meralda retains the memories.
"Ross loved the Eagles band. One of our great memories is the time we took four months off to drive along Route 66 (one of America's most famous highways)," she recalls.
"He came from a time where men didn't show emotions, but he would do the silliest things with Amelie. Pappa was her favourite and she would say 'I love you this much' and throw her arms open.
"Ross loved that. It's been a long relationship. It leaves a huge hole . . . but I'm just happy he did what he wanted to do."
Finally, Ross Allan Livermore can take it easy.

What is the history of measles?
Cases of measles were described as early as the seventh century. However, it was not until 1963 that researchers first developed a vaccine to prevent measles. Before the vaccine was made available, almost every child became infected with the virus because it is so easily spread. Before routine vaccination, there were approximately 3-4 million cases of measles and 500 deaths due to measles each year in the United States.
There were initially two types of vaccines developed against measles. One was developed from a virus that had been killed, and the other was developed using a live measles virus that was weakened (attenuated) and could no longer cause the disease. Unfortunately, the killed measles virus (KMV) vaccine was not effective in preventing people from getting the disease, and its use was discontinued in 1967. The live virus vaccine has been modified a number of times to make it safer (further attenuated) and today is extremely effective in preventing the disease. The currently used vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine.
What causes measles? How is measles spread?
Measles is caused by the measles virus (a paramyxovirus).
The measles virus is highly contagious. Measles is spread through droplet transmission from the nose, throat, and mouth of someone who is infected with the virus. These droplets are sprayed out when the infected person coughs or sneezes. Among unimmunized people exposed to the virus, over 90% will contract the disease. The infected person is highly contagious for four days before the rash appears until four days after the rash appears. The measles virus can remain in the air (and still be able to cause disease) for up to two hours after an infected person has left a room.
How does one become immune to measles?
Anyone who has had measles is believed to be immune for life. People who have received two doses of vaccine after their first birthday have a 98% likelihood of being immune. Infants receive some immunity from their mother. Unfortunately, this immunity is not complete, and infants are at increased risk for infection until they receive the vaccination at 12 to 15 months of age.
Who is at risk for getting measles?
Those people at high risk for measles include
- children less than 1 year of age (although they have some immunity passed from their mother, it is not 100% effective);
- people who have not received the proper vaccination series;
- people who received immunoglobulin at the time of measles vaccination;
- people immunized from 1963 until 1967 with an older ineffective killed measles vaccine.
Is measles deadly?
While measles can be fatal, it has rarely been fatal for the last 20 years in the United States. This is due to the fact that most people were immunized, which resulted in very infrequent outbreaks. However, with increasing numbers of people who refuse vaccination in the U.S., there are likely going to be more complications and deaths from measles in the future. The people most likely to have complications (including death) are those who are malnourished or who have weakened immune systems.

To The Editor: As a World War II Navy veteran, I participated in the Sept. 24 HonorAir trip to Washington.
I wanted to publicly thank Jeff Miller, his planning team and all those who so generously contributed money and time and my guardian -- David Dalton, who took care of my every need -- and all the others who gave of their time.
For this to have been the first trip of its kind, every moment and every detail was planned to perfection. This mingling with the other veterans, all the sights, being treated like royalty, the meals, the appreciation of the public, the gifts -- everything was unbelievable.
Thank you Jeff Miller, and thank you Henderson County, for giving us World War II veterans the trip of a lifetime.

The latest film in the Terminator franchise came out recently and if you're hoping it will do what Jurassic World did for the Jurassic Park franchise you are in for a let down.
The "Judgment Day" apocalypse by computer network Skynet in James Cameron's T2 is bumped from 1997 to 2017. In an alternate time line that takes far too much explaining to make sense, Schwarzenegger's killer Terminator has been rebooted into an old cuddly parental figure named "Pops" who has raised and trained heroine Sarah Connor from a young age to fight against the machines.
A new crew of talented actors do their best to put new life into old characters. A welcome addition to just about anything, Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke plays Sarah Connor, with Jason Clarke as her son John and Jai Courtney (yummmm!) as his lieutenant Kyle Reese. While all three of them did an acceptable job, you could tell even they knew the movie was shit.
The tenth film based on a Nicholas Sparks novel hits theatres today and also marks the big screen debut of Clint Eastwood's swoon worthy son, Scott. One of those facts is much more intriguing than the other but I'll get to that in a moment. SPOILER ALERT: it's Scott.
The Longest Ride, or as some will undoubtedly call it, The Longest Nap, is an incredibly dull movie that attempts to tell two separate love stories that, like alcohol and texting, really don't go well together.
The film stars the adorable Britt Robertson, who I had the pleasure of meeting a few years ago while she was in Vancouver filming The Secret Circle, as sophisticated art loving college girl Sophia who ends up falling for the charming, hunky, bull riding Luke (Eastwood). Their love story is intertwined with that of Ira (Alan Alda) and Ruth (Oona Chaplin), whose story is played out via letters Ira wrote to his wife read to him by Sophia after she helps save him from a car accident. It's never really explained why he writes letters to her even though they live together but… I guess that wasn't important because letters are so emotional and romantic.
Get Hard is easily the most ridiculous movie of the year so far but it isn't without its merits. While I try to be honest with myself when it comes to expectations I have to say the bar was pretty low going in to this one. I hadn't watched the trailer, but everything Will Ferrell has done since Step Brothers really hasn't hit the mark for me.
Kevin Hart co-stars in the movie about an investment banker who prepares for jail time with the help of the guy who washes his car. If you think you're ready for the racial and gay stereotypes that ensue let me tell you… You're not. Get Hard is certainly not for everyone, especially for the faint of heart but even in its most crass and low-brow moments it attempts a social satire that while extremely rude in its delivery is often effective in its message.
Back in October Dono did a post about the Geography Club movie trailer and it peaked my interest. Not only was it starring two very handsome men, Cameron Deane Stewart (Pitch Perfect) and Justin Deeley (90210), but it also genuinely looked really good. I'm a bit of a gay movie junkie and love attending the VQFF every year so I've seen my fair share of tacky gay cinema. I'm happy to say that Geography Club was not your average cheesy bad gay movie.
Synopsis: At Goodkind High School, a group of students of varying sexual orientation form an after-school club as a discreet way to share their feelings and experiences.
A new gay romantic comedy called John Apple Jack is making it's world premiere tomorrow (Saturday, November 9) here in Vancouver at the Vancouver Asian Film Festival (VAFF). John Apple Jack tells the story of a modern-day boy-meets-boy romantic comedy about finally finding love… after having slept with everyone else. I had the opportunity to watch the feature film ahead of time and I definitely recommend checking it out!
The film is written and produced by Vancouver's Rick Tae, directed and co-produced by Monika Mitchell, and produced by Selena Paskalidis. Here's a little more about the plot of the film: When a glamorous playboy realizes that his dream guy is about to get away, he turns his life upside down in a mad rush to confess his love. Tae's semi-autobiographical tale unfolds around the escapades of John (Chris McNally), a handsome gay man and heir to a restaurant empire. John lives a lifestyle of extravagance – champagne, fast cars and fast men. But when he discovers his sister is about to marry his childhood crush, Jack (Kent S. Leung), John realizes that the wedding must be stopped. His life spirals out of control as he loses his job, his playboy reputation…and even his underwear.
"John and Jack were childhood friends whose lives have taken different paths. One is living a life of privilege but finds emptiness under its slick veneer. The other is earnest and lovable, but struggling to face his true desires. How do they bridge differences and find each other?" explains Tae. "At its heart, John Apple Jack is a universal love story of 'opposites attract' that will resonate with a wide audience. I'm excited to debut my first feature right here at home in Vancouver as it's a tribute itself to the city's culturally-diverse community."
After last month's Getaway I was really looking forward to a good movie to review. Unfortunately for Runner, Runner, this isn't it. The gambling themed thriller doesn't even live up to the genre, has a boring hero, an equally boring plot and an ending as predictable as rain in Vancouver.
The film is about Richie Furst (Justin Timberlake), who is a student and teaching assistant at Princeton University who gets all of his tuition money cheated from him by a poker website. Richie then heads to Costa Rica with proof that he was cheated to convince the site's billionaire owner, Ivan Block (Ben Affleck) to give him his money back.
This movie is not for everyone. First off, if you're obsessed with Ryan Gosling (as I'm slowly finding out half the man-loving world is) then you'll want to see him as severe and lean and sexy as ever in this. Second, if you love Asian revenge movies (plays really), then BAM this is up your alley. Third, if you liked the film Drive by director Nicolas Winding Refn then you'll love this because it's basically Drive 2, set in Bangkok… with an equally amazing and eerie sound track. Oh, fourth, if you like violence: watch this.
Set in modern day Thailand, this is a revenge film about family honour and drug lord crime. The two protagonists are both severely flawed as they attempt to restore peace to their respective homes. Ryan plays the brother of a murdered child rapist who is tasked by the incredible Kristin Scott Thomas (whom you will remember from Gosford Park
Drop Dead Gorgeous but CERTAINLY not recognize) who acts as matriarch to this f-ed up family and who through horrendous guilt and near-incestual flirtation demands for retribution of her dead son. Ryan is pitted against a retired police officer who murders without shame the worst members of society in this vast asian city. There's sword fights, massive gun shoot ups, beatings to death with bare hands and a lot of kinky sexy: if you're into any of that, this movie is worth a look.
Click through to read the rest of my review and see the trailer
Wednesday night I had the unfortunate opportunity to see the embarrassingly terrible film Getaway, a film that packs an hour and a half with so many crashes, wrecks, flips, stunts and swerves that the audience barely knows where they are or what is going on at any given moment. After about 20 minutes I was nauseous with a headache.
Allegedly there was a very thin plotline somewhere underneath the crashes and explosions but I found it hard to keep track of or give enough attention to. The film follows retired racecar driver Brent Magna (Ethan Hawke) who comes home to find his wife has been kidnapped. He soon learns that if he doesn't follow the instructions of a mysterious man on a phone (Jon Voight), his wife will be killed. His first instruction is to steal a car, and this is where the film goes downhill. Magna soon picks up an unexpected passenger (Selena Gomez), who turns out to the owner of the car attempting to steal her own car back from Magna. If this sounds as stupid to you as it did to me, you might as well stop here.

A professional who drew a swastika and a penis on a visiting
Australian military aircraft was identified through the DNA
found in the spit he left on it.
Charles Wilson Bullen, 35, was sentenced to community work
and supervision when he appeared in Waitakere District Court
Judge Claire Ryan also ordered him to pay $4000 reparation.
She told Bullen that he had issues with alcohol and needed to
get some help.
He was caught for the aircraft graffiti after a droplet of
his spit found at the scene matched his DNA.
The court heard how the Royal Australian Air Force C17
Globemaster was plastered with tags while parked overnight at
Whenuapai Air Base in September 2008.
Photos of the graffiti, which were placed before the court,
showed swastika and a crude drawing of a penis.
The multimillion-dollar aircraft had to be removed from
service while it was repaired.
The Royal New Zealand Airforce also apologised to their
Australian counterparts.
Bullen was also sentenced for breaking pot plants and
destroying an outdoor area at an Indian Restaurant in
Judge Ryan ordered him to undergo alcohol counselling,
complete 87 hours of community work and pay the Air Force and
the Indian restaurant $2000 in reparations.

Felix Jones was supposed to be unleashed
this season. The Dallas Cowboys were going to find all sorts of
ways to showcase his swerving moves and swift feet.
Maybe he still will. He just hasn't yet, and his paltry
production is especially glaring this week because the Cowboys are
facing the big-play running back they could have drafted instead of
him, Tennessee's Chris Johnson.
Last season, while Jones was backing up Marion Barber, Johnson
ran for 2,009 yards and was named NFL Offensive Player of the Year
by The Associated Press.
Johnson again is among the most productive players this season,
a threat to go the distance every time he touches the ball. His two
longest gains are 76 and 42 yards, a total of 128 - the same Jones
has, rushing and receiving, through three entire games.
