|Celtics shootaround notes: Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo ready for Game 6
|06.07.12 at 12:46 pm ET
WALTHAM — The Celtics spent Thursday morning in typical gameday mode, preparing for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals at TD Garden against LeBron James and the Heat. All 14 active players were present and accounted for as the team went through half-court sets and shooting drills in anticipation of the game that – if they win – would propel them to the NBA finals for the third time in five seasons. The Celtics lead the best-of-seven series, 3-2.
Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo were among the Celtics in attendance. Both had minor injury issues in the Game 5 win in Miami. Allen had to leave the game for the locker room midway through the third quarter to get treatment for his sore ankles while Rondo suffered a cut on his left arm but both returned to the game and are expected to be fully ready for the potential series-clincher at the Garden. Rondo shot just 3-of-15 in Game 5 while suffering the injury to the same arm on which he dislocated his left elbow in 2011.
"I don't know what happened there, I think he got slashed or cut," said Rivers of the Rondo injury on Wednesday. "I pay zero attention to injuries and never ask about them. I don't want to know about them."
If the Celtics prevail in Game 6, they will have a day off and then prepare for the Thunder in Game 1 of the NBA finals next Tuesday in Oklahoma City. If the Celtics lose Thursday night's game, they will have to head back on a plane Friday and travel to Miami for Game 7 on Saturday night at American Airlines Arena.
|Doc Rivers on his Celtics: 'Honestly, they believe they can win'
|06.06.12 at 2:08 am ET
After winning three straight games to dig themselves out of an 0-2 hole to the heavily-favored Miami Heat, the Celtics are on the verge of one of the most improbable trips to the NBA finals, even by their most-lofty franchise standards. Doc Rivers said after Tuesday's 94-90 win in Game 5 in Miami that the reason the Celtics never give up on a game in hostile territory is because of the makeup of his veteran locker room.
"It's just a good team, a close-knit team," Rivers answered when questioned about his players' supreme confidence. "They talk that way. We have a lot of positive talk in our locker room, a lot. And it fuels from them. And honestly, they believe they can win. And we just have to keep hanging in there."
One reason the Celtics believe they can win is history. In the Big Three era — beginning in 2008 — the Celtics are now 9-0 in Game 5 contests in which the series was tied, 2-2. On Tuesday, they didn't crumble when they fell behind by 13 in the first half and were shooting just 33 percent at halftime.
After watching his team hold on, Rivers said he reminded his team after the emotional win not to lose focus on the task at hand, namely closing out the supremely talented LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Miami Heat in Boston Thursday and not give them the chance to return the Eastern Conference finals to Miami on Saturday.
"I told them, 'We've done nothing.' We're playing a heck of a basketball team. And so, just because we're going to Boston, I told them, 'We have to play. They're not going to give it to us. We have to go get it,' " Rivers said.
Rivers is also known as one of the most inspirational coaches in the NBA. He had to go deep into that well Tuesday night as his team fell behind 31-18 in Game 5 to the Heat. Miami was hitting most of its open shots while the Celtics started off 4-of-17.
"We're just hanging in there," Rivers said after the 94-90 win that put the Celtics one win from the NBA finals. "They jumped up on us at the beginning of the game. We just told our guys, 'Hang in there, just hang in there. Don't overreact. Hang in there. The longer we're in the game, the better we'll play.' It was really nice." Read the rest of this entry »
|Mickael Pietrus: 'I had to take a shot and make it'
|06.06.12 at 1:48 am ET
Mickael Pietrus hit a pair of crucial 3-pointers in the fourth quarter Tuesday night as the Celtics held off the Heat, 94-90, in Game 5 at American Airlines Arena in Miami. Pietrus hit 5-of-8 shots from the floor and finished with 13 points off the bench as the Celtics moved to the brink of the NBA finals for the third time in five seasons by taking a 3-2 series lead over the heavily favored Heat.
Pietrus said he received a special source of inspiration on Monday via text message from former Celtic and current TNT NBA analyst Shaquille O'Neal.
"I got a text from Shaq, he was telling me keep believing and keep playing, so that's what I did," Pietrus said.
Pietrus hit a huge 3-pointer to cap a wild flurry midway through the fourth as the Celtics and Heat were battling for control of the game. With the Heat on a 9-0 run to go up 78-72, Brandon Bass had his dunk blocked by Dwyane Wade, but the loose ball went out to Rajon Rondo, who touched it immediately to a wide-open Pietrus on the right baseline. Pietrus drilled it to cut the Heat lead to three and help spark Boston's comeback.
"When Rondo took that rebound and kicked it out to me, I knew I had to take a shot and make it, so that's what I did," Pietrus said.
"The one thing you know about Pietrus is he's going to shoot it. He's been down this road before," Doc Rivers said, giving credit to Rondo for touch-passing to Pietrus on the wing.
With 2:11 left and Miami back in the lead at 83-82 on a Mario Chalmers 3-pointer, Pietrus stepped up and did it again, nailing another trey on a pass from Pierce. The triple put Boston up 85-83 and again quieted the crowd, which was anticipating a Heat run to close out the game as in Game 2.
"I'm very happy with the way we've been playing defensively and I think it's up to us to go home and close it out," Pietrus said.
|Kevin Garnett: Celtics and Heat 'two teams just throwing punches'
|06.04.12 at 4:42 pm ET
There was yet another defining moment of the series in the second half when LeBron James drove to the basket and was hit hard by Kevin Garnett. The two locked each other up momentarily as James pushed off of Garnett.
No foul was called in rare moment in the series where two players were allowed to go at each other in the heat of battle.
"[We were] two teams just throwing punches, really, to be honest," Garnett said after Boston's 93-91 Game 4 win in overtime. "I thought when we were up, we were aggressive. Obviously they were going to make a run. They got a lot of free-throws in that run, a lot of lay-ups in that run and they were able to get some transition."
The Heat made their big run in the third quarter to make it a game as the Celtics fell into big foul trouble. With 3:35 left in the third, Rajon Rondo picked up his fourth foul. Just 13 seconds later, Paul Pierce joined him on the bench with four personals. It was up to Garnett to lead the group on the floor and right the ship as the Heat closed the quarter with a 7-1 run that cut the Boston lead down to 73-68 entering the fourth.
"Once we got that under control, I felt like we got back aggressive," Garnett said. "The play-calling was all over the place as far as the refs and I thought both teams played through it. Then, when we had to, we got stops.'
The biggest challenge for stars like Garnett, Rondo, Pierce and James is to know what kind of contact is going to be whistled and what isn't during a game, something that could decide the season for both teams.
'It is but you have to put the refs in a position to make some calls," Garnett added. "[Doc Rivers] stressed us to stay aggressive. At times it is difficult but it can't decipher on your aggression and how aggressive you are especially during a run. Defensively, you want to be in sync but you can't let them decipher how you are. I thought we kept our composure pretty well and finished the game off.'
Garnett essentially admitted that the Celtics were lucky to survive Sunday night when Pierce fouled out just 38 seconds into OT. The Celtics scored just four points. They held Miami to two in the five-minute period.
'It changes when Paul goes out," Garnett said. "The scorers, Rajon, myself, [Ray Allen] and everybody has to pick up the load a little bit as far as being more offensive-minded. Like I've always said, we are a defensive team that can score the basketball. When Paul goes out, Rajon knows to be a lot more aggressive. Ray knows to be a lot more aggressive. We encourage [Mickael Pietrus to score]. I think Quis [Marquis Daniels] was in there in the latter part of the game. (We) just stay aggressive. As long as we are making stops, we can turn it over into some easy offense and we're a hard team to beat at times.'
|Paul Pierce has the last laugh on LeBron James
|06.04.12 at 4:47 am ET
Cameras caught Paul Pierce breaking into a wide smile with 1:51 left in overtime as LeBron James was called for his sixth and final foul, getting disqualified for just the fourth time in his career, and the first time since April 2008.
It was also the first time in James' career that he fouled out in the playoffs. Paul Pierce, on the other hand, fouled out for the third time in his last five playoff games dating back to Game 7 against Philadelphia. Pierce was called for his sixth just 38 seconds into overtime when he was called for running over Shane Battier on a cut across the lane.
"Oh, it was very frustrating," Pierce said. "But it's gratifying when you see the other star player fouling out, also."
Pierce later added, "It was a cut, scratch, grab, hold, elbow-type of game. I mean nobody was going to give an edge. I'd say it's a classic. You rarely see that, you rarely see that. You rarely see that when you've got two star players fouling out.
"This is probably going to be an instant classic-type of game," said Pierce, who is now headed to Miami with the Eastern Conference finals tied, 2-2. "We have a chance of winning this series. It's not going to be easy, a good old classic bar fight.
'Words can't even describe the type of game it is," Pierce said. "I mean it's a funny game, the way the ball bounces, the way things go. I mean, started out way up the big lead, to come back, and I was sitting there on the sideline in overtime, I was like, this is probably going to be an instant classic type of game. It was just like one team gets momentum and the other team just grabs it. I'm just glad we were on the winning side today.'
Pierce laughed when asked where he thinks the series stands. He laughed because he's very aware of the opportunity that lies ahead, starting with Game 5 in Miami.
'It's even," Pierce said. "We've got to win a game in Miami, of course. We have a chance of winning this series. It's not going to be easy. It's a good old classic bar fight. Going in to it, you [had] to expect every game to be like this. Coming down to the wire, both teams trying to find an edge. This was a great game today.
'We've won two in a row," Pierce added. "We feel like we let Game 2 slip away. So, we fee like were playing a good momentum. But we've got to start playing for 48 minutes. We haven't put together a 48 minute game yet. There's no reason we shouldn't have gotten to 100 points tonight after scoring 61 in the first half so were hoping we can put together a full game when we get down to Miami.'
|Mickael Pietrus: The secret weapon against LeBron James
|06.04.12 at 4:16 am ET
Before Red Auerbach kept Dwyane Wade from knocking down the potential game-winner 3-pointer at the buzzer in overtime, Mickael Pietrus made sure Miami's other superstar wouldn't end it in regulation.
'I try to play tough, because you have to respect the jersey you're playing for," was all Pietrus would say about his pressure on LeBron James as the Miami power forward was jammed by Pietrus at the top of the circle as the clock wound down. Then Pietrus fed James off to the right, where there were two more Celtics waiting to help out.
Triple-teamed, James was forced to dump off to Udonis Haslem who missed a jumper at the buzzer, sending the game game to overtime, 89-89.
What was also remarkable about the play at the end of regulation was that the situation was identical to the end of Game 2. That's when the Celtics got away with Rajon Rondo guarding a player eight inches taller when James missed a fallaway at the end of regulation. Doc Rivers wasn't going to allow that to happen again. He put Pietrus on him and made sure he had help by funneling James into a triple-team.
Pietrus kept it up in the overtime. With Boston desperately trying to protect a one-point lead, the Celtics missed consecutive shots. But there was Pietrus flying in from the weak side and picking up the rebound to extend the Celtics possession. Those two rebounds took a total of 45 seconds off the clock at a most-critical time.
'The last two were huge. Sometimes that's what it takes to win basketball games," Pietrus said. "You can always count on me if you want to win games. I'm going to play hard. That's what I did for my team tonight. My main focus is to go to Miami now and try and get another win.
'If I don't have my shot I won't get frustrated because I know we have legends on the floor. You have to respect them. As far as right now I'm trying to focus on what the team needs the most. From me that's defense and rebounding.'
|Doc Rivers and Celtics: 'Last year was last year… We don't want a repeat of that'
|06.03.12 at 7:14 pm ET
Try as they might, the national and local media was unsuccessful in the 45 hours since the end of Friday's Boston's win over the Heat in Game 3 to draw the Celtics in to comparing last year to this year against LeBron James and company.
"I don't even remember last year, to be honest with you," said Paul Pierce when asked about the details of the 4-1 loss to the Heat in the Eastern semifinals last year.
"I don't, really," Doc Rivers said when asked if he recalled Boston winning Game 3 in 2011 before losing a heart-breaker in Game 4 in overtime. "I know we lost. I think that's the game Rondo got injured but I'm not even sure of that. Oh, it was Game 3. I don't even remember. That tells you what I remember."
Indeed, the inspired Celtics overcame the dislocation of Rajon Rondo's left elbow in a collision with Dwyane Wade in Game 3. They had a great chance to tie the series when Ray Allen drilled a three to put the Celtics up, 84-81, with 2:28 left. But James hit a three of his own 28 seconds later and James hit a jumper to put Miami up, 86-84. Pierce hit a jumper to tie it, 86-86, with 41 seconds left. After a James turnover, the Celtics had the last 19.5 seconds left to win it. They had to settle for a missed fadeaway from Pierce with 0.9 seconds remaining. '
In that game, Kevin Garnett had seven points and made just 1-of-10 from the field in 41 minutes. That cannot happen again for the Celtics to win Game 4, something they failed to do in 2011.
"We just want to be consistent in how we play," Pierce said. "Last year was last year. It's over with. We don't want a repeat of that so we just have to be consistent in everything we're trying to do. We're going to continue to try and get him the ball, get as many as touches out of him as possible. We know that's been working for us. So, when Kevin gets it going from the inside, it really opens up things for a lot of us on the perimeter."
The Celtics would be outscored 12-4 in overtime in the game that would essentially seal Boston's playoff fate in five games.
"We had opportunities," Rivers reflected. "Clearly, we had a couple of great shots. I think we had a terrible possession now that I think about it before overtime. Our last possession [of regulation]. Thanks for bringing that up."

|for zombie violence and some language
A funny twist on a classic love story, this is a tale about the power of human connection. After a zombie epidemic, R (a highly unusual zombie) encounters Julie (a human survivor), and rescues her from a zombie attack. Julie sees that R is different from the other zombies, and as the two form a special relationship in their struggle for survival, R becomes increasingly more human - setting off an exciting, romantic, and often comical chain of events that begins to transform the other zombies and maybe even the whole lifeless world.

Critic review:
We've seen it before: a lonesome teenager, dwelling on his inability to connect with others, loving his dream girl from afar. It's indie romance 101. But in Warm Bodies, writer/director Jonathan Levine finds a genre twist that livens up the conventions. His lead, R (Nicholas Hoult), is a zombie who spends his days roaming the post-apocalyptic world with little ''human'' interaction. With only grunts and stiff gestures at his disposal, R is limited to an inner monologue that relentlessly laments his situation — what might be lazy filmmaking in a naval-gazing drama is Levine's greatest asset.
Riffing on the undead tropes allows Warm Bodies to tell a story that sports a beating heart and a sizable serving of braaaaaaains. In adapting Isaac Marion's novel, Levine wastes little time with exposition for why the world is in a state of zombie apocalypse. It just is, and it's not all that enjoyable for either the flesh eaters or the human resistance. When R and a pack of zombies stumble upon human scavengers, they immediately jump into action — taking a few bullets to the chest in hopes of scarfing down organs. But as R tastes the juicy goodness of Dave Franco's brains, his whole word is changed by the sight of Julie (Teresa Palmer).
For the undead twentysomething, it's love at first sight. R protects Julie from his fellow zombies, taking her home to his abandoned airplane pad to prove he's more than just a hungry, emotionless monster. Her acceptance gets R's heart beating again. Quite literally. Like his previous work The Wackness and 50/50, Levine dilutes any semblance of saccharine connection with humor and tension.
Hoult finds a groove playing a dead man with life behind his eyes, lumbering about with mouth agape and teasing the slightest hint of personality. The exterior is enhanced by the actor's animated, observational voice over. The zombies of Warm Bodies never dream and barely think — thanks to his inquisitive nature (and the brains of his victims, which give him memories of their past), R's mind is always wandering. When he devours chunks of Julie's boyfriend's cerebrum, he feels joy and guilt. There is a larger world surrounding Warm Bodies, but the movie always sticks with the personal relationship — even when Julie and R are being chased by bloodthirsty ''Bonies,'' the an even further gone class of zombies.
Palmer turns Julie into more than just an object of affection, warm when empathizing with R and physically capable in the movie's few action moments. John Malkovich appears as Julie's militaristic father, bent on wiping out the zombies from existence, while Rob Corddry plays R's best friend… or just a guy who responds to R's grunting. Turns out zombies make great deadpan comedians. Small and sweet, Warm Bodies' high concept works better than any trailer could sell. Levine never misses an opportunity to throw in a joke, capture a romantic moment between his two leads, or explore the moment with a perfectly timed music cue (like 50/50, the director's ear is as impressive as his eye).
Only when the movie loses itself to wrapping up with a bang (a spectacle it may not have had the budget to pull off) does it put the emotional beats on hold and meander in genre filmmaking. But the pause isn't for long. With so many romantic comedies overwhelmed by their own devices, Warm Bodies successfully unearths the ''human'' in budding relationships — and does it with the not-quite-human. What do you think?

On The Shelf (1.06.09)
New year.
New column.
Every Tuesday, let's talk about what you should be paying attention to on the shelves.
Every Friday, same thing but for the bigscreen.
Simple. Just so we can all keep track, and weed through some of the clutter. As DVD and BluRay try to figure out what part of what market they each own or share, there are all sorts of titles being coughed loose. This is the first week of the year, not typically a busy one, but there are things that are absolutely worth paying attention to this week. Here's what I'm planning to check out in one form or another.
"Battlestar Galactica: Season 4.0"
So far, the only season I haven't seen. It's here. It's in the house and has been for about a week and a half, and I keep looking at it. But do I want to wait and get the last batch of episodes once they come out, and then watch it all together? Because I guarantee Universal will get that last episode out on DVD fast as shit after it's on TV. They'll have the BluRay box set of the entire series ready for next Christmas, and it'll come in a box shaped like the Galactica, I'm sure, and I'll totally f'ing buy one and tell Toshi and Allen not to touch it.
So do I wait and watch the whole thing then? Or do I go ahead, watch it now, and then try to keep up on TV, which I almost always stink at doing while it's actually airing.
I'm frakkin' tortured about it. Seriously. But either way, if you're a fan, I'm sure you're picking this up today, and if you're not a fan, catch up. You really, really, really should be.
"Pineapple Express" (BluRay)
Hey, look! It's one of my ten favorite films of 2008!
"The Last Emperor" (BluRay)
I'm so glad I didn't pick this up last year when Criterion put it out, because for a film shot by Storaro and directed by Bertolucci, and especially this one, which is about as visually ravishing as a film gets, I'm going to want the BluRay release, and now I'm not getting double-dipped. I will definitely review this one once I pick it up.
"Babylon A.D." (BluRay)
"Bangkok Dangerous" (BluRay)
Two films with poisonous buzz, both starring action stars who seem to be waning, and both on BluRay. I'll check them out, but I didn't care much for the original version of "Bangkok Dangerous," so I'm not sure what the remake has to offer, and with "Babylon A.D.," I think director Matthieu Kossovitz has a great eye, but no story sense. At least he's starting from some strong source material, though.
"Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, Vol. 3"
I love Tony Bourdain's work. I think his books are sensational, but he's doing something really great with "No Reservations," which is part travel show, part food porn. Basically, Bourdain goes around the world and immerses himself in local food culture, reporting on it all with that great sardonic wit of his. At this point, it would be easy for him to project this "been there done that" air towards everything, and he'd be right about that. But Bourdain remains excited by potential, and he seems to genuinely embrace each new trip as an opportunity. It makes him incredibly engaging as a tour guide, and I'll keep watching as long as he keeps making these shows.
"Dexter: The Complete First Season" (BluRay)
This season's been out on regular DVD for a while, but if you're a huge "Dexter" fan, it might be worth it to go ahead and make the upgrade to BluRay. The set doesn't appear to have any BluRay only extras, but the show is so good you might not care. I thought "Dexter" sounded too precious when I first heard the idea: serial killer who only kills other serial killers who deserve it. But over the course of the three seasons so far, the show has not only found its own voice, slowly abandoning the novels that were the source material originally, but it's actually become quite adept at dodging the formula that could easily make this a drag. This first season is a somewhat faithful adaptation of the first book in the series, but even here, they made changes with an eye on the big picture, laying some solid groundwork they can build off of for as long as the series runs.
"Duckman: Seasons Three And Four"
When "The Simpsons" became a phenomenon, one of the results was that a lot of animation got rushed into production for television, and a lot of it was fairly terrible. "Duckman" managed to run for several seasons, and it was one of the few that actually managed to retain the flavor of its underground comic origins. Everett Peck created the series, but it was Ron Osborn and Jeff Reno who developed it for TV and who were really in there, day in and day out, making it work as a series.
If you haven't seen it, Duckman (voiced by Jason Alexander at his most exasperated) is a private investigator who is partnered with the very deadpan Cornfed (voiced by Gregg Berger, who gives good Jack Webb) on mostly ridiculous cases while also struggling with his runaway libido and his obligations as a single father to a whole gaggle of freaky kids. It's a rude, politcally incorrect, occasionally grotesque series, and it's also very, very funny at times. This release completes the full run of all 70 episodes of the series, and it's been nice to go back and check some of the episodes out and realize that they are actually built to last, funny without being pinned down to a particular moment in the '90s like so much of the animation that was made then.
"Frisky Dingo: Season Two"
And speaking of crazy animation, here's the latest Adult Swim release on DVD, Adam Reed and Matt Thompson's "Frisky Dingo," a deranged superhero show that, like most of the Adult Swim shows, is very hard to do justice to with a mere description. Basically, it's about the profoundly dysfunctional relationship between Awesome X and Killface, hero and villain, arch enemies, as they both try to establish successful toy lines, run a business, and make a life outside the business. It's completely insane, and it's one of the better shows they've aired as of late. It's no "Metalocalypse," but what is?
"Friday Night Lights" (BluRay)
While I think the TV show's first season actually bested anything the feature film did, I do quite like what Peter Berg did in adapting this book to the bigscreen, and on BluRay, it's gorgeous.
"Opium And The Kung-Fu Master" (BluRay)
This was made at the end of the legendary run that the Shaw Bros. had producing martial arts films, and it was one of three films directed by master fight choreographer Tang Chia. I've never seen it, but it's well-regarded by fans of the genre, and the action is evidently top-notch. I'm just glad to see this kind of material on BluRay, and if we're already getting this sort of catalog stuff in the new format, that's an encouraging sign. I'll review this once I've seen it.
"Strays" (Steelbook packaging)
I should have paired this with "Babylon A.D.," probably, so you could get a look at where Vin Diesel started and where he is now, but I figured that juxtaposition would even depress Diesel, and why start the New Year that way?
If all you knew of Vin Diesel was this film, you'd probably think this guy has some sort of monster career ahead of him in film as a writer/director/movie star. "Strays" doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's an assured directorial effort and it tells its small-scale story well. Rick (Diesel) is the center of gravity for a loose collection of hustlers and street kids, and the film chronicles his efforts to hold them all together. This Steelbook release of this autobiographical film by Diesel does a nice job of packaging the movie that first got him onto Hollywood's radar. I just wish we'd seen more like this from him in the 11 years since then.
"The Wackness" (BluRay)
I know a lot of people who flipped for this one at Sundance last year, and it's precisely the kind of film that is HUGE in a festival setting but that has trouble when it goes theatrical because, typically, marketing departments don't know how to impart what you're going to get from a film like this. A low-key charmer, Jonathan Levine's film tells the story of a kid in New York in 1994 who is selling pot while he tries to figure out what to do with his life. His business brings him into contact with a complete shambling mess of a psychiatrist (Ben Kingsley) who befriends this kid even as he tells him to stay the hell away from his step-daughter (Olivia Thirlby). The film's shaggy as hell, sort of aimlessly wandering from subplot to subplot, but that's a nice match for the main character, played through what appears to be an authentic marijuana haze by Josh Peck. It's got a good sense of time and place, and even if some of the points the film makes are overly familiar to most coming-of-age stories, it has a voice, and Levine continues to impress as a filmmaker who is still in the process of defining exactly who he is.
There's a nice assortment of extras on the disc, including a Levine/Peck commentary track and a feature called "A Day In The Life Of Jonathan Levine," but for the most part, it's all superficial stuff. If you're going to pick this one up, do it for the movie.
"Eden Lake"
"Drive-In Cult Classics Vol. 4"
I'm not ashamed of my appetite for exploitation trash. And why should I be? I know there are people who think that they have to only endorse highbrow film art, but that's just not the way I consume film. I love high art and low art equally, and I think trash requires a certain touch that isn't as easy as people think. I watch a lot of junk looking for gems, and thank god there's a steady stream of both modern and classic exploitation coming out for me to indulge myself.
"Eden Lake" is the latest release from Dimension Extreme, which is basically a place for them to dump unrated releases from their very deep shelves. This one's about a couple who goes to the woods for a relaxing weekend, only to end up in a life-or-death game of cat-and-mouse with a bunch of local kids. Not the most original idea for a film, but it all comes down to execution, and this one actually has pretty solid buzz in the horror community.
You've got to love the way Crown International Pictures has been handlign this series of compilation discs, where they put a bunch of their films in one set. This time out, you get "Wild Riders," "The Van," "Chain Gang Women," "Brain Twisters," "The Young Graduates," "Don't Answer The Phone!", " "The Specialist," and "Death Machines," a pretty wide range of genre and style. I'm sure I'll watch this whole thing in one weekend as soon as I pick it up.
"The Lizard"
"Life Gamble"
"The Battle Wizard"
One of the reasons it's hard to collect everything from the Shaw Bros. library is because chunks of that library have been sold off to different distributors over the years, and the library covers so many different eras. Everything's getting a sort of haphazard release on a very strange timetable, and since I only know many of these titles because of a star or a director or by reputation, I end up buying everything and then whittling away the ones I don't like.
Of these three, it seems like "The Battle Wizard" is the best-liked. "The Lizard" is a sort of modern Hong Kong riff on Robin Hood that has been described as "really fucking goofy" by a friend of mine. "Life Gamble" is significant mostly as part of the ramp up to the various "Venoms" films that came out of the Shaw Bros. factory in the early '80s.
All three appear to be presented in very basic bare bones packages, but just having these titles on home video finally is a pleasure.
"Caligula: The Imperial Edition" (BluRay)
I haven't seen the BluRay edition yet, but last year's three-disc release of "Caligula" finally made the case for the film's place in cinema history. Love it or hate it, this controversial Bob Guccione production is worth discussion because of the way it aimed to mix a serious historical picture with some downright filthy hardcore porn. Tinto Brass, the original director, was replaced by Penthouse-publisher Guccione, who wanted to make the film even crazier. There were several cuts and a wealth of extras on the regular DVD release, and if all of that is included on the BluRay, this is a definitely keeper.
"Michael Powell Double Feature: Age Of Consent/Stairway To Heaven"
Remember when I said I like both high art and low art? Well, this would be the "high art" entry in today's column.
Powell and Pressburger were hugely important in the history of English cinema, but today, their work is about as far from mainstream as you can get. That's a shame, because so much of it is about pure tactile pleasure that I'm sure the films would still play if people would only check them out. "A Matter Of Life and Death" is one of their very best films, and "Age Of Consent" was the last one they made together. Both are important to an understanding of the remarkable filmography these men built together, and I can't wait to pick this up so I can post a more indepth review in the weeks ahead.
"Rigteous Kill"
Oh my god. Really. I saw it. It was the first film I saw this year, actually, while working at my desk on New Year's Day. Picked at random. And, uh... what a way to kick off a year. Two of my idols, working together... and embarrassing themselves and each other with one of the worst, by the numbers, empty-headed corn flake commercials of a movie I've seen in a while. It's not just bad. It's awful. They're awful in it.
Carla Gugino has one scene with Pacino that's waaaaay more fun than anything else in the movie, and maybe if that one scene (his smile as he says "You're a bad girl" and her flush in response) was the whole movie, a sort of proto-Eszterhas thriller, it might have been a whole lot more fun.
But this movie? Ummm. Fuck this movie. And I don't say that often.
Next week, we've got titles like "Mirrors," "Swing Vote," "Appaloosa," and the great "Tokyo Gore Police" to discuss, so check back on Tuesday for more of what's on the shelf.

Several witnesses say they never saw nor heard the wife of evangelist Joel Osteen assault a Continental flight attendant in 2005.
Attendant Sharon Brown claims that Victoria Osteen attacked her over a spill on the armrest of her first-class seat when it was not cleaned up quickly.
But three first-class passengers on the plane, called by Brown's attorneys, testified Wednesday that they heard and saw no such thing.
"There wasn't anything that occurred that she could be suing over," said Laura Knoppe, who was sitting in the first row of first-class seats, closest to where Brown said the attack took place.
Passenger Barbara Shedden told jurors that Osteen pointed at Brown, but never touched her.
"I would have seen it," Shedden said.
Shedden's testimony was echoed by several witnesses, including two other passengers, another flight attendant, and the flight captain.
Continental Captain William Burnett testified that he would have called the police if any of the flight attendants had been shoved by Osteen.
"She didn't say a word about it," Burnett said. "There was no altercation."
He said Osteen was "animated," but not yelling.
Earlier Wednesday, Brown's attorney, Reginald McKamie, rested his case.
Brown is asking for an apology and 10 percent of Victoria Osteen's net worth. The case is expected to wrap up Thursday.

Umar Akmal fined over 'offensive' snub
Umar Akmal has been fined 50 per cent of his match fee for snubbing both umpires when he decided it was time to change his batting gloves in Pakistan's World Twenty20 semi-final defeat against Sri Lanka.
- Related Content
Umar admitted a level-two breach of the International Cricket Council code at the Premadasa Stadium - for "conduct contrary to the spirit of the game".
He changed his gloves in the 17th over of Pakistan's innings having ignored umpires Rod Tucker and Simon Taufel's request not to do so at that stage.
ICC match referee Jeff Crowe said: "Respect for the umpires is integral and is something we always emphasise and encourage.
"In this incident, Umar showed blatant disregard to both the umpires' requests - which was offensive and unacceptable from an international cricketer and contrary to our unique spirit."
Pakistan lost by 16 runs in Colombo as hosts Sri Lanka progressed through to the final.

• Of 846 patients with stage I malignant melanoma that was less than 0.76-mm thick who were followed up for two to 31 years, 61 (7.2%) developed a recurrence. For those patients who did not initially undergo an elective lymph node dissection, the majority of first recurrences were at regional lymph nodes. Attempts have been made to identify those patients at risk of relapsing. Axial lesions, particularly those on the scalp, had the highest recurrence rate, with 15% of all thin scalp lesions recurring compared with only 4% of all thin extremity lesions. Three histological features proved to be useful prognostic indicators when analyzed by single-factor analysis. Evidence of ulceration in the primary lesion increased the recurrence rate from 6.7% to 26.1%. While only 4.3% of lesions displaying low mitotic activity recurred, this rate rose to 23.8% for those lesions of a high mitotic grade. Only 5% of Clark's level II lesions recurred, compared with about 12% of lesions at either level III or IV. Evidence of regression in thin lesions had no deleterious effect on prognosis. This study defines a small subset of patients who may benefit from elective lymph node dissection.

If you were trying to sell a home in the Greater Toronto Area last month, you likely succeeded. The Toronto Real Estate Board released its Market Watch update on home sales in the GTA and found that sales in the month of May were the best on record.
"Total sales in the Greater Toronto area as a whole were up by a little bit more than 11%, so 11, 079 versus 9, 946 last year at the same time." Said Jason Mercer, the Senior Manager for Market Analysis at the Toronto Real Estate Board.
The average selling price for homes in the GTA were also up 8.3% in May to $585,204 from $540,544 the previous May.
A detached home in Toronto sold for $965,670 on average, while the average price of a detached home in the 905 went up 13% to $648,439.
Condominium sales were also up in the GTA by 8.4% this May over May of 2013. Mercer says this is likely caused by the lack of new listings and low level of inventory.
"I think there are a few factors that feed into that. Number one, if you look at the years leading up to the recession, we are actually seeing sales on a per capita basis above the long-term trend. So people have sort of pulled forward their decision to buy and so some of those households simply aren't ready to list their homes again. And so that's lead to a shortage of listings." said Mercer.
Mercer said the lack of new construction, as well as the City of Toronto's land transfer tax are also forcing people to reconsider their plans to sell.
"Third party research and polling has actually suggested that some people when faced with large upfront costs will consider renovating rather than moving." said Mercer.

Missing London boater's body pulled from lake near Erieau
By Patrick MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Wed., September 20, A body found in Lake Erie has been identified as a missing Londoner who disappeared while boating with a friend last month.
Bill HENDERSON, 61, who owned his own renovations company, cast off from the Port Glasgow Yacht Club with longtime friend Joe MAJER on August 20 in HENDERSON's five-metre fibreglass boat. Soon afterward, marina owner Carol WOLF received a distress call, which triggered a huge police search.
But after four days -- during which the body of MAJER, 73, was found 13 kilometres offshore -- police called off the search for HENDERSON. Last weekend, a boater found a body floating near the small Chatham-Kent town of Erieau.
Police recovered the body Saturday about three nautical miles from shore and later identified it as HENDERSON, Ontario Provincial Police Const. Michelle SCOTT said yesterday.
That investigators, who scoured along the coast near Erieau on August 24, didn't find HENDERSON sooner underscores the difficulties of marine searches, she added.
"We have no control over the water and weather," SCOTT said, adding the original search grid didn't cover the eventual discovery spot. "That's what takes over the investigation."
HENDERSON, who had been Friends with MAJER since they were neighbours in the 1970s, was an experienced boater and hunter.
One day after the disappearance, HENDERSON was described by family as a "very, very experienced boater, fisher (and) hunter," who saw leisurely boat trips as "his escape."
"It was what he did when he could when he wasn't working," daughter Kara HENDERSON said. "His life was working, fishing and hunting."
The disappearances of HENDERSON and MAJER came almost exactly seven years after a 1999 boating mishap off Port Glasgow that killed five people. In that case, it was more than three months before all the bodies were recovered.
While this week's discovery was disappointing, police expressed some relief for HENDERSON's relatives.
"Obviously we always want to keep our hopes high (for) a positive ending," SCOTT said.
"It's unfortunate that it wasn't a positive conclusion, but at least it wasn't as long a wait for the family."

Mavor MOORE, Actor, Producer And Writer: (1919-2006)
A 'one-man cultural conglomerate,' he went from a job as youngest producer at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to being appointed the first artist to become head of the Canada Council, with many stops in between, writes Sandra MARTIN
By Sandra MARTIN, Page S7
As multitalented as he was prolific, as romantically restless as he was artistically ambitious, Mavor MOORE worked all sides of the cultural street as an actor, director, producer, dramatist, impresario, composer, writer, critic, cultural commentator and academic. It is hard to believe that he was only one person. For five decades in this country beginning in the 1940s, he was the happening person for most cultural enterprises, including the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Spring Thaw, the Stratford Festival, the Charlottetown Festival and the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts in Toronto.
In all, he wrote more than 100 works for stage, radio, television and film, including the book lyrics and music for Sunshine Town, the book and lyrics for Johnny Belinda and the librettos for Louis Applebaum's opera Erewhon and Harry Somers's opera Louis Riel.
"He had great knowledge about the theatre and a great sense of history," said opera and theatre director Leon MAJOR, who succeeded Mr. MOORE as general director of the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts. "He took risks with young directors and then let young directors do what they wanted to do, guiding them as they went."
After commenting on how much he had learned from Mr. MOORE, not only about the theatre but also about dealing with actors and writers, Mr. MAJOR said yesterday: "In his heart, I think that he was a teacher more than anything… because he took a lot of time with young people to talk to them and listen to them and explain."
Mr. MOORE was a man who truly believed in the development of Canadian theatre, he added.
"As I was growing up [in the 1950s and 1960s], he and Lister Sinclair were the two real Renaissance figures in Canada, the two people who were sophisticated and civilized," said Peter HERNDORF, president of the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. "Nobody in the country has ever been so accomplished and as effective in doing all of these art forms over a career." And yet, "for a man who had all of these talents and all of these accomplishments, he was very rooted" in Canada.
"He was a very, very likeable individual who didn't change over the 40-odd years that I knew him," he said, pointing out that the jobs Mr. MOORE took on as an administrator were fraught with peril and that he always managed to avoid controversy and resentment without ever giving up what he was trying to achieve artistically. "He had a very good emotional quotient" that made him "comfortable enough in his own ego that it was easy for him to encourage younger artists," he said.
"He did everything," lyricist Elaine Campbell said yesterday. "He knew what was happening all over the world. He wrote so many musicals and they were all good, but he was always there encouraging people by saying, 'We're Canadians, we can do it.'"
James Mavor MOORE was the middle of three sons of John, an Anglican cleric, and the indomitable Dora (née MAVOR) MOORE. His Toronto childhood was culturally enriched because his mother was an actor and theatrical producer. He watched her play Viola in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night when he was only 7 and she returned the favour five years later by producing his first play for a girls' dramatic club.
By the time he was 10, he and his brothers were producing neighbourhood puppet shows (drawing heavily on the Bard for their plots) and he had made his first radio broadcast as part of a choir singing Christmas music. His parents separated in 1929 after his father, who appears to have been a bounder, left his mother to raise their three sons on her own. Young Mavor helped augment the family finances by acting in The Crusoe Boys, a daily radio serial.
After elementary school, he went to the University of Toronto Schools, then a boys only, academically elite institution. He expanded his theatrical range to play Falstaff and Macbeth in school productions. From University of Toronto Schools, he entered the University of Toronto in 1936, where he studied philosophy and English and participated in theatricals, becoming the first student director to win the University Drama Festival, serving as president of the Players' Guild and the Philosophical Society, as drama critic for the student newspaper The Varsity, and as literary editor of The Undergraduate. After failing a year because of his heavy complement 1 with a first-class honours degree.
He immediately joined the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as its youngest producer. He was 22. His poor eyesight made him ineligible for active service overseas during the Second World War, so, instead, he produced wartime radio features for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Later, he served as a psychological warfare officer in Canadian Army Intelligence attached to the Canadian High Commission in London. At the same time, he married Darwina (Dilly) FAESSLER on October 14, 1943. They eventually had four daughters: Dorothea (Tedde), Rosalind, Marili and Charlotte.
From 1944 to 1945, Mr. MOORE worked in the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's international service, becoming senior producer for the Pacific region in 1946. In the late 1940s, he also did summer stints in the information division of the newly formed United Nations Secretariat in New York, and with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization seminar on education, writing and directing documentaries, three of which won the Peabody Award.
Meantime, he was directing plays for Spring Thaw, the annual Toronto revue that his mother had created under the auspices of the New Play Society (which they had jointly founded in 1946). He directed the first Spring Thaw, which opened on April 1, 1948, and ran for three performances at the theatre in the Royal Ontario Museum. His mother produced the revue until 1961, when she sold the production rights to her son. He bumped up the production values and the performance schedule, extending the annual run at the height of Spring Thaw's success into midsummer and across the country. In 1966, he began leasing the production rights to younger producers.
Always in the centre of the cultural action, Mr. MOORE was chief producer in television's fledgling days at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation from 1950 to 1954, having turned down an offer from CBS to direct its top television drama series, Studio One. One of the people who answered to him at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation was Norman Campbell, who had been working in radio in Vancouver. In 1952, he reported for duty as a television director, along with his wife, Elaine Campbell.
"I will always remember him as the first person I met at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation," she said yesterday of Mr. MOORE. "He was wonderful. He was so full of ideas." She remembers the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as expansive and accommodating, with nobody vacillating about productions by worrying about audience numbers or reactions. "If you had an idea, you went to Mavor, and said: 'I want to do this show or that show and you did it.'"
The Mavor MOORE show she remembers best from that time is Sunshine Town, based on Stephen Leacock's classic Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town. Mr. MOORE wrote the book, lyrics and music for the show, which aired first on radio as The Hero of Mariposa on March 31, 1954, and then on television as Sunshine Town that December. It was also performed on stage in Toronto and Orillia, Ontario (Mr. Leacock's home town), and later revived at the Charlottetown Festival and the Mariposa Festival. "He had beautiful songs and it was a funny script based on Stephen Leacock's humour," said Mrs. Campbell. "He didn't miss a bit of it."
In 1954, Mr. MOORE quit the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to join Tyrone Guthrie at the new Stratford Festival, to act and to produce his own plays and musicals. His tenure was brief, but he did appear as Escalus in Measure for Measure in the festival's inaugural season.
His richest creative period was probably his years as the founding artistic director of the Charlottetown Festival, from 1964 to 1968. Mrs. Campbell tells a charming story about Mr. MOORE's reprising some songs about Anne of Green Gables from a television show that Mr. Campbell had produced, at the gala performance, in front of the Queen, at the opening of the Confederation Centre for the Arts in Charlottetown in 1964. Apparently, the Queen loved the songs but wondered where the rest of the show was. Mr. MOORE interpreted these comments as a "command" from the monarch and issued an invitation to the Campbells to come up with a musical about Anne.
And that was the genesis of the musical Anne of Green Gables. Mr. Campbell wrote the music, Don Harron adapted the book and Mrs. Campbell wrote many of the lyrics. In the end, Mr. MOORE contributed two key songs, The Words and Open the Window, which opens the second act. "He has been part of our trio ever since," she said.
After the breakup of his first marriage in the mid-1960s, Mr. MOORE married literary biographer Phyllis GROSSKURTH in May of 1968. Nathan Cohen announced their nuptials by writing in the Toronto Star: " Double congratulations to Mavor MOORE. He married literary historian Phyllis GROSSKURTH on Sunday, and on Monday Toronto City Council finally gave the go-ahead signal for the building of the St. Lawrence Centre." As general director, Mr. MOORE saw the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts opened and passed on the reins to Leon MAJOR in 1970.
The two men had met in the early '60s because Mr. MAJOR had directed a couple of Spring Thaws. Mr. MAJOR went to Halifax in 1963 to start the Neptune Theatre and invited Mr. MOORE to play Undershaft in Major Barbara. "It was very important to me to have him there because he was so knowledgeable and he could bring some weight to Neptune," Mr. MAJOR said.
Mr. MOORE also directed plays for Neptune in subsequent seasons. The two men worked together years later when Mr. MAJOR directed the opera Louis Riel, for which Mr. MOORE had written the libretto. "Working with him on that was a joy because he was a writer who didn't think every word he wrote was sacrosanct and he was supportive about the production," said Mr. MAJOR.
From the St. Lawrence Centre, Mr. MOORE accepted an appointment in the faculty of arts at the newly established York University in Toronto. While teaching at York, he took on yet another responsibility as the first artist appointed head of the Canada Council, a position he held from 1979 to 1983. York designated him professor emeritus in 1984 when he reached 65.
By now, his second marriage had ended. In 1979, he and Harry Freedman attended the Courtney Summer Youth Camp in British Columbia, supervising the production of the opera Abracadabra -- Mr. Freedman wrote the music and Mr. MOORE the libretto. Soprano Alexandra (Sandra) BROWNING was also there as a teacher and singer. "It was instant attraction," she said yesterday from Victoria. "Our eyes met in the cafeteria and we clicked." They were married the following year and have one daughter, Jessica.
He moved to British Columbia, settling first in Vancouver, then in Victoria in late 1980s. He made his presence known in the best possible way by teaching at the University of British Columbia, serving as co-chair of the World Conference on Arts, Business and Politics at Expo 86 in Vancouver, as founding chair of the British Columbia Arts Council from 1996 to 1998, and as an adjunct research professor in fine arts and humanities at the University of Victoria.
He published his aptly named memoirs, Reinventing Myself, in 1994 when he was 75, although he largely limited himself to the first 50 years of his life. In reviewing the book for The Globe and Mail, Martin Knelman called Mr. MOORE a "one-man cultural conglomerate." He praised the book as "a lively and informative memoir almost preposterously crammed with incident," but he chastised Mr. MOORE for his frustrating lack of disclosure and introspection not only about his own life, but his relationship with his formidable mother. But then that was one of Mr. MOORE's more charming qualities his diplomacy and his amicability that enabled him to get along with almost anybody, including his three wives, all of whom were on friendly terms with him until the end of his life.
James Mavor MOORE was born in Toronto on March 8, 1919. He died in Victoria after a period of declining health on December 18, 2006. He was 87. He is survived by his wife, Alexandra (Sandra) Browning, his five daughters and their families, five grandchildren and one great-grandchild. A tribute to his life will be held at the University Club in Victoria on January 6, 2007, at 2 p.m. Another celebration will be held in Toronto at a later date.

Can you define these popular missing words?
Verb. When a girl is sucking on your balls and the shaft of your penis looks like a snorkel running parallel to the side of her face. If the girl is wearing glasses, it adds to the effect by mimicking goggles. Hence "Portland", because all the hot girls wear glasses.
Ed told me he got a Portland Snorkel for Sarah last night in the library. What a whore.

text: Explore The northern mainland Thessaloníki and around Mount Olympus and around Véria and Vergina Northwest Macedonia Halkidhikí Northeastern Macedonia Kavála and around Thrace Share On May 21, the feast day of SS Constantine and Helen, villagers at LANGADHÁS, 20km north of Thessaloníki, perform a ritual barefoot dance across a bed of burning coals known as the anastenária. While it has been suggested that they are remnants of a Dionysiac cult, devotees fiercely assert a purely Christian tradition. This seems to relate to a fire, around 1250, in the Thracian village of Kostí (now in Bulgaria), from where many of the inhabitants of Langadhás originate. Holy icons were heard groaning from the flames and were rescued by villagers, who emerged miraculously unburnt from the blazing church. The icons, passed down by their families, are believed to ensure protection during the fire walking. Equally important is piety and purity of heart: it is said that no one with any harboured grudges or unconfessed sins can pass through the coals unscathed. Whatever the origin, the rite is still performed most years – lately as something of a tourist attraction, with an admission charge and repeat performances over the next two days. It is nevertheless eerie and impressive, beginning around 7pm with the lighting of a cone of hardwood logs. A couple of hours later their embers are raked into a circle and, just before complete darkness, a traditional Macedonian daoúli drummer and two lyra players precede a group of about sixteen women and men into the arena. These anastenáridhes (literally "groaners"), in partial trance, then shuffle across the coals for about a quarter of an hour, somehow without requiring a trip to hospital at the end. Read More

Whidbey Follies target ferries, late mayor
Although he lives 300 miles away, writer David Howell tapped into the day-to-day frustrations of islanders in last weekend's production of "Whidbey Follies."
The occasional fundraiser has poked fun at current events over the years, and Howell looked to the ferry system for this year's satirical ammunition.
"It was based pretty loosely on the ferry issue. There wasn't a lot of meat in the matter," producer Sue Riney said.
The play opened with a handful of "Keystone cops" who abandoned their plans to fix the ferry system after receiving a call from a Hollywood producer.
"Who do we call now?" one man griped.
A cop replied, "I don't know. Call the Vatican!"
Howell, who penned scripts for the first five years of Whidbey Follies before moving to Oregon in 1993, layered jokes from previous Follies. Before and during vignettes, the crew played video clips of original skits and music.
This event celebrated the 20th anniversary of the first "Whidbey Follies" in 1989, and Howell, and wife Pat, commuted from Oregon to direct the show.
Riney said most jokes were aimed at Coupeville, as the event was held at the Coupeville High School Performing Arts Center.
The Vatican reference was based on an actual Coupeville church, St. Mary's, which caused an uproar when it decided to use vinyl siding. In an early script, Howell created a group of nuns, "The Sisters of Perpetual Maintenance," with a holy mission to stop them.
Many of these original actors, and characters, returned. One notable, real-life character was former Mayor Ed Stromberg, now deceased.
Howell took time to vent at Stromberg, who was an early opponent of Whidbey Follies. He lived across the street from the original outdoor performances, and was aggravated by the noise. Besides cutting wood with a chainsaw and lining the street with no parking signs during the show, he also lit a massive fire in his front yard to try to smoke out the concert.
With Stomberg now gone, Howell wrote a lighthearted interpretation of his judgement day.
John Tristao, who played Stromberg, sang, "If I was a Nice Man," to the tune of "If I were a Rich Man" from the musical, "Fiddler on the Roof," after a group of angels called him an unpleasant name. Eventually, Stromberg repented and was given his wings. He was asked to take Elvis' place in Heaven's rock and roll band.
"It's usually a sin to speak ill of the dead, but they handled it well," audience member Frank Tippets said.
The Shifty Sailors, a local sea shanty group, angrily sang, "Ballad of the Merry Ferry," which joked at catching a cold from long wait times at Keystone.
The play eventually turned to finding a ferry replacement. Whidbey Island's ferry snafu began in late 2007, when it was announced there were no immediate replacement craft for the worn-out 80-year-old vessels.
The Sisters of Perpetual Maintenance and Shifty Sailors brainstormed building a bridge and leasing an airplane before deciding, "We need a big boat."
They dragged a prop replica of the Queen Elizabeth II oceanliner onstage, and renamed it "WSF MM Haugen," a reference to State Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen. She is chair of the Senate Transportation Committee.
The cast sang a farewell song, inviting the audience to approach the stage and sing. Howell was congratulated with hugs from his cast and crew.
While the event aims at poking fun at island life, Riney said it's not out of spite.
"I think it's about appreciating life on Whidbey. We're more close to these issues because of our community and geographical closeness," Riney said.
She added that any follow-up performance next year will depend on another hot news topic.
Proceeds from the event will be shared between Concerts on the Cove and the Whidbey Playhouse.

What you don't know about somebody else's pay can't hurt your feelings.
But what local taxpayers do know about Charleston County School District Superintendent Nancy McGinley's salary stirs hard feelings.
Though it wasn't a secret before Sunday's Post and Courier, our front-page reminder that McGinley is making $223,022 a year — and that four other district higher-ups are making $140,000 or more — riled up many readers.
A few of the district's principals even have climbed the golden salary stairs past the 100 grand mark.
Those administrators are simply taking what the market will bear. And some, including McGinley, rightly stress the back-to-basics notion that if kids can't read, they can't succeed.
Gee, this non-educrat could have told them that long ago for a cut-rate consultant fee.
And when the district deals out lavish loot to top officials, the persisting spectacle of kids going to school in leaky trailers is particularly galling.
Still, while McGinley tops the superintendent-salary list in our state, she's not the only S.C. school-district boss drawing big bucks. The superintendents in Greenville and Horry counties also make more than 200 grand.
Then again, that's chicken change next to how much many institutions of higher learning spend on football and basketball coaches.
Hold that Tiger
Clemson pays an assistant football coach $1.3 million a year. His name is Chad Morris. His offense averaged a remarkable 41 points per game last season.
But his offense also has averaged only 15 points and 240.5 yards in his two games (both losses) against South Carolina.
OK, so nobody pays $60 — or more — for a ticket to watch, and no television enterprise pays huge rights fees to broadcast, school superintendents at work.
However, Clemson did pay Tommy Bowden $3.5 million to not coach when it fired him in the middle of the 2008 football season with six years left on his contract. And beyond the big business of big-time college sports and the big salaries of school-district big shots lies this learning experience:
Awareness of others' pay breeds envy and, in some cases, despair.
Somewhere along our greedy ways, we lost what once was a polite aversion to discussing personal finances. Along with that unseemly shift, far too many Americans have jumped to the unwise conclusion that net worth and personal worth coincide. Knowing what the other guy makes inevitably feeds that myth.
Sure, taxpayers must know what, and whom, they're buying — and at what price.
Yet linking your self-esteem to your bank account can induce delusional inferiority — or superiority — complexes.
It also breeds resentment of those with more lucrative gigs.
Forgotten lessons
Back to school-district salary structures: While many of those administrators are cashing in on the intensifying competition for the supposedly best education-management talent, most teachers are paid much less.
Remember teachers?
They're the foot soldiers on the front lines of this all-too-often mission impossible: conveying readin', writin' and 'rithmetic in classrooms that are frequently lacking in motivated students.
But hard-working teachers also can, at least occasionally, reap the precious thrill of inspiring a student's best academic efforts — and results.
Meanwhile, though the bottom-line disparities in modern society's salary priorities can be aggravating, the supply-and-demand formula, not government fiat, remains the most productive manner of setting a pay scale.
So hang in there, ye of the underpaid, whose ranks include teachers, soldiers, police officers, firefighters, prison guards, social workers, animal-shelter staffers and non-main-event pro wrestlers.
And, of course, editorial writers.
Savor the non-monetary consolation that your work, despite its meager fiscal compensation, makes our world a better place.
And if you're among the educrats in — or below — the six-figure bracket, stop promoting kids who can't read at their grade level.
