Slipstream (R) Strand Releasing (96 min.) Directed by Anthony Hopkins. Stars Hopkins, Christian Slater, Stella Arroyave, Michael Clarke Duncan. Opens Friday at theaters in New York. ONE STAR
"Slipstream" shows that actor Anthony Hopkins is a deeply intelligent man with a lot on his mind. In this, his maiden independent film as writer-director-composer-star, he seems to put his every thought and conviction before the camera. This is a screen artist wrestling with the memories, fears, dreams and regrets that rage at the twilight of a brilliant career -- and of life. It is also, sad to say, unwatchable.
The impulse to flee this movie strikes around the time Christian Slater fires a gun into a cuckoo clock, and only intensifies through John Turturro's overacting as a tyrannical Hollywood producer, the Goth seance, the symbolic Native American, the relentless '60s-style psychedelic flash cuts, Hitler stock footage and, of course, the talking vulture.
Hopkins' script is, to borrow a phrase from Kurt Vonnegut, purposely unstuck in time. Felix Bonhoeffer (Hopkins) experiences his past, present and future all at once as he attempts to rewrite a murder mystery script which appears to be about a screenwriter who experiences his past, present and future all at once as he attempts to rewrite a murder mystery script .¤.¤.
The murderers, femmes fatales, dopplegangers, ghosts and allies shuttle back and forth between Bonhoeffer's story and his life. He watches them all in a kind of stupor that looks like the onset of senility.
Although "Slipstream" is terrible in a unique way, Hopkins may have taken inspiration from autobiographical funhouses such as Fellini's "8½" and Bob Fosse's "All That Jazz"; the phantasmic Hollywood satire of David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive"; the pop culture kaleidoscope of "Vanilla Sky"; the politically charged psychodrama of Ingmar Bergman's "Persona" and Jean-Luc Godard's¤'60s provocations. But all those directors had mastered the art of cinematic construction before moving on to cinematic demolition. They knew the rules they were breaking. Hopkins' attempts at virtuosity (mostly jump cuts and gunshots) are just empty film school flourishes.
His undeniable love and appreciation of good actors almost redeems the film midway. S. Epatha Merkerson shows up as an actress portraying a truck stop waitress. As both the waitress and the actress, Merkeson is so luminous and earthy, I wondered just when this Hollywood veteran would finally get a film all her own -- and equal to her radiant persona.
She's one of the fleeting pleasures in a sequence about a film set spiraling out of control. Hopkins wrangles a gang of familiar faces (Slater, Jeffrey Tambor, Camryn Manheim, Michael Lerner, Michael Clarke Duncan) and generates a genuinely screwball atmosphere as they happily step on each other's lines. These moments almost achieve the virtuosity Hopkins craves, until Turturro comes crashing in as a cartoon studio megalomaniac.
"Slipstream" ultimately winds up an avant-garde film that just ain't all that avant. The glimpses of joy on his performers' faces (captured in sumptuous widescreen by Dante Spinotti) hint at the possibility of a better Hopkins swan song in the near future, one that delights gracefully in the pleasures of acting and life rather than sulking awkwardly at the horror of show business, failure and death.
Rating note: The film contains strong language, violence and adult situations.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Were you one of the thousands shivering in shades on Thursday night for the official launch of Gilda's Laughfest?
The one drawback of garnering (hopefully) yet another Guinness World Record is the anonymity of it all.
Grand Rapids may be once again listed in the book, but we wanted to put a face to the fact that our city loves supporting great causes no matter how silly the method.
A total of 1,675 people assembled to set a new record, surpassing the current mark of 1,642. But that number (which originally was 1,693) still has to be verified by officials.
Thanks to all who stopped by the MLive.com and Grand Rapids Press photo booth to have some fun. Check out our photo gallery and see if you see someone you know.

The River City Rovers surprised the Michigan Bucks with a late game-winning goal, winning 2-1 on Saturday afternoon.
The Rovers continue to be a thorn in the Bucks' side, as the Louisville-based club knocked of the Bucks late in the season last year to ruin their bid for an undefeated season. And now, albeit the second game of the regular season, the Rovers have handed the Bucks their first loss of the season once again.
Both halves were the complete opposite of each other. The first half being uneventful, with the Bucks dominating the Rovers but their best chance coming towards the end of the first half. The second half had many chances for the Bucks and the Rovers, with River City scoring two late goals to steal a win.
The game was played as part of the Bucks' tradition of playing one of their home games at the Canton Cup in Canton, Mich.
Despite a slow first half, the second picked up the pace with several chances from both clubs including one early opportunity when the Bucks sent a shot over the crossbar.
The Bucks struck first when reigning PDL Player of the Week Zach Steinberger scored off a free kick from Nick Walker, scoring his fourth goal in the first two games.
The Rovers weren't put off by the goal and kept pushing, having a few chances that forced the Bucks into a few saves. Their efforts paid off near the end when Mustaf Warsame scored to tie it up at 1-1.
Rovers assistant coach Nathan Pitcock was pleased with his team's play despite being down a goal for most of the second half.
"It's all positive for us today, a good collective performance and I thought we made our own luck by sticking together," Pitcock said.
Bucks head coach Demir Muftari felt his team was unable to finish the game.
"[It was] really disappointing, I thought for 88 minutes we were pretty good," Muftari said. "I'm happy with the way the team's coming along, we have a deep team, everyday we're getting better, and I'm really excited about the rest of the season."
The Bucks (1-1) return for their true regular season home opener on Saturday, June 1 when they host K-W United FC. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) – The IPFW Mastodons put away their blue and donned pink instead to support the Vera Bradley Foundation.
Saturday marked the 7th annual "Pink Out" honoring breast cancer survivors.
The Pink Out began with a luncheon in the International Ballroom which was free of charge for all cancer survivors.
All proceeds from the luncheon and $1 for every ticket sold for Saturday afternoon's game against North Dakota State went to the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer.
"This is a great way for these survivors to feel like they haven't just been battling this for themselves, but they've been battling this for other people," said Catherine Hill, Executive Director of the Vera Bradley Foundation.
"When you see this number of survivors, if you're someone who's just been diagnosed, how inspirational to look out and see the number of people who have been through the battle and who are now moving on to healthy happy lives so that's what this gathering is about today."
Survivors were also honored at an on-court ceremony during halftime of the basketball game.

Vancouver Farmers Market officials and at least one city official will meet Friday morning to discuss keeping the permanent indoor market open.
Market officials in July told the city -- their landlord -- that they no longer wanted to operate inside the 8,451-square-foot space in a building next to Esther Short Park. They have since softened that stance, but the city wants to know by the end of September if they will stay in the space, said Matt Newstrom, the city's property services manager.
The indoor market opened to much fanfare in September 2005 on the ground floor of the five-story Esther Short Commons apartment building. But it has struggled to find the right mix of prepared food vendors, fresh food sellers and craft vendors to make a profit.

As independent restaurants and chain operators look for sales growth in an otherwise mature dining out market, breakfast pizza seems to be emerging as a new menu item category. According to a recent article in Nation's Restaurant News, breakfast pizza now appears on 5 percent of dining out breakfast menus.
The concept is not as radical as it sounds. Breakfast pizzas are typically sauceless and incorporate "toppings" such as scrambled eggs, cheese, various breakfast meats, and other flavor builders.
Other popular variants feature an omelet-style egg fold-over arranged atop a baked crust.
Who knows? If the concept of breakfast pizza takes off, the job of a pizza delivery guy may well become a morning gig.
Mino Giliberti of Buon Appetito Ristorante in Westfield is continuing his winter series of cooking classes.
The sessions, which are planned for several Mondays and Tuesday through March 11, offer participants to observe, learn from, and dine with Giliberti as he prepares a five-course Italian meal.
Recipes and techniques are derived from Giliberti's lifetime of experience in cooking and the wine trade; he also incorporates authentic Giliberti family recipes. Sessions are $80 per person per class and are held starting at 6:30 p.m. For more information about upcoming class dates, call (413) 568-0002.
The cupcake has been the poster child among baked goods for the last several years. Dressed up, citified, and available in every flavor under the sun, they seem to have become the handheld dessert of choice.
However, the cupcake may have competition soon in the form of the whoopie pie.
Already food trend spotters are suggesting that the humble lunchbox favorite is to be the next big thing in desserts, combining comfort food appeal with upscale elegance.
One New England hotel, the Hanover Inn in Hanover, NH, has gone into whoopie pies in a big way, offering a whoopie pie turndown service in its guest rooms.
The newly renovated Inn has developed a full year's calendar of whoopie pies, including a red velvet with cream cheese filling for February, a red, white, and blueberry whoopie pie for July, and a chocolate with candy cane filling for December. The Hanover Inn answers at (603) 643-4300.
One of the premiere annual food and wine events here in New England, the Boston Wine Expo, will be held Feb. 16 and 17 at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston.
A two-day celebration of the grape, the Expo is for consumers and hospitality professionals alike, with a Grand Tasting that features the products of over 185 wineries.
The Expo has an extensive schedule of chef's demonstrations, seminars, and food samplings; a number of vineyards will also be hosting "Vintners Dinners" at various Boston restaurants during the Expo weekend.
A portion of the Expo proceeds will be channeled to the support of local charities. For more details on the Boston Wine Expo, go to www.wine-expos.com or call (877) 946-3976.
This is the time of the year when many restaurants strive to position themselves as romantic dining spots.
There's no doubt that sharing a meal with a special someone can be the stuff from which memories (and matrimony) are made, but the actual nuts-and-bolts of a romantic dinner are harder to define.
After all, that which is "romantic" is different for different people. One couple might define a romantic dinner experience as quiet, intimate, and upscale, while another pair of lovers might prefer something louder and more up-tempo. After all, given the right personal chemistry, burgers and fries at a fast food joint can be quite romantic.
Since Valentine's Day has become one of the most popular dining out occasions of the year, a special "for lovers only" dining experience is being promoted at many local establishments. Typically a fixed price menu, the emphasis is on foods like steak and seafood; often special grace notes like butler service or complimentary flowers are also part of the deal. Make reservations early, since many restaurants will sell out for Valentine's Day.

Invest In What You Know 4 commentsJan 29, 2013 10:19 AM | about stocks: NOK
One important part when analyzing stocks - that is often being overlooked - is the part comparing the particular company's product against its competitors. How does example the Lumia line stand against competitor products such as the Samsung Galaxy III or Iphone 5 ?. This concept is very important at least when we talk about a highly innovative dependent industry, such as the telecom.
One of my all-time favorite stock pickers is the former Magellan Fund manager Peter Lynch. He popularized the concept of" investing in what you know". This concept implies that every investor - Professional or amateur - should place his money in industries or companies that he understands. Other famous investors' following this concept is Warren Buffet, who simply does not invest in tech-stocks because he does not understand them. This important but simply concept is however often overseen by most of investors. Most investors wants to make fast money and falls into the trap of investing in companies they do not understand, companies that are dubbed as the new rockets on the market or the new IBM´.
Unfortunately, it seems that this concept is also being overseen by most so-called professional analysts.
For not a long time ago, I was reading a sell recommendation on the Nokia stock. This recommendation contained as usually some quantitative arguments on hypothetical situations leading up to their sell recommendation. So far so good.
However this recommendation also tried to back its recommendation by providing some negative comments about the hardware specs. of Lumia 920. It stated simply that the 920 was lacking behind its competitors in hardware specs. Worth noting is that this recommendation was coming from one of the biggest and well-known investment banks in the world. I stop to read it immediately.
How long had this analyst been researching? I do not know.
Did this analyst know Nokia? I do not think so.
Had this analyst been investigating the competitors' products? I do not think so.
Had this analyst been researching the industry he was supposed to analyze or the company he was recommending people to sell, he would have known that the Lumia 920 either possess better or on par hardware specifications as its competitors. However this analyst took the easy way, and overlook the important concept of research.
One other important concept is to look for how the products are received by the customers. I like to bump into the review charts on Amazon wireless from time to time;
Nokia has 4 mobiles in the top 5, 7 in the top 10 and 9 in the top 20.

You know I've been thinking about this a lot and I agree with you in everything. What pisses me most is the *FACT* that iPhone5 lags both Lumia 920 and Galaxy S3 in hardware and still it's praised by analysts.
Unfortunately that's the case in Sweden too , however I've started to notice that Samsung lll is gaining momentum in mind share, while lumia still lags behind. Things however change very fast in the telecom industry looking just two years back Samsung where nowhere. I think that 2013 is going to be a very interesting year, we will see both new products coming from Nokia and Samsung building on these current flagship while also see if apple will deliver some innovation. 2013 is gonna be a very interesting year!
The Stockholm Pendeltåg and Copenhagen Öresundståg are my preferred research vehicles as well as the London tube. In just 30 minutes, walking down the isle, you can see consumers preferences mapped out for you over time, month after month.
That's TRUE, the analyst works like a wizard but do not have any magic, his calculations are based on guesses of future events...peter lynch used to go into malls and look which boutiques had the most queues or customers coming out with bags...guesses are for people that do not know, analysis is for people who know, today analysts do not know.

MARQUETTE - As part of the quest by the administration of Gov. Rick Snyder to make Michigan the "Trail State," a summit will be held in Marquette later this month to help continuing efforts to develop a new trail from Belle Isle to Wisconsin.
The trails summit to gather local input will be from 1 to 4 p.m. March 18 in Northern Michigan University's Bottum University Center.
"Very specifically for the Upper Peninsula, that's one of the conversations: What do we have now? What do we need? And then, how can we continue along the pathway," Michigan Department of natural Resources Director Keith Creagh said.

The North Country Trail — a section of which is shown above near the Tourist Park in Marquette — will be part of a new statewide trail being developed from downstate Belle Isle to Ironwood proposed recently by Gov. Rick Snyder. (Journal photo by Adelle Whitefoot)
In late November, Snyder said he was directing state agencies to work toward developing a roughly 900-mile signature hiking and biking trail for Michigan, from Belle Isle to Ironwood, including extensive sections across the U.P.
In his message on "Ensuring Our Future: Energy and the Environment" Snyder said Michigan has more total trail miles than just about any other state.
"Much of the credit goes to volunteers who have shoveled, raked, trimmed and groomed these trails on their own time and often at their own expense," Snyder said. "This shows the real appetite Michiganders have for quality trails and points to the opportunity we have to be the number one trail state."
Snyder said he was directing the DNR, Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, Michigan Snowmobile and Trail Advisory Committee, Michigan Economic Development Corporation, Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and Michigan Department of Transportation to align and prioritize their efforts to support and create trail connections.
"All these entities will reach out to local communities as partners, helping them to maximize the economic return from trail use," Snyder said. "We can and will seek to make Michigan the Trail State."
As such, Snyder said Michigan needs "a showcase trail that celebrates these efforts and pulls together private and public trails into a signature Pure Michigan experience," Snyder said. "With the addition of approximately 200 miles of additional trails in the Lower Peninsula and the U.P., we could hike or bike from Belle Isle to the Wisconsin Border."
Snyder said he was directing the DNR to focus on connecting those trails - which include segments of the Lakeshore Trail and North Country Trail in the U.P. - through cooperation with private and non-profit partners and the use of the department's own resources.
The trail connections would be developed across a patchwork of state, federal and private lands, with easements necessary in some areas. Cost estimates for the trail were still being developed, along with a name for the trail.
Creagh said work on answering some of the fundamental questions in developing the trail is already under way.
"We have segments of that trail already in place, whether it's the Upper Peninsula or Lower Peninsula," Creagh said. "So staff right now is looking at where are those gaps. What do we need to do? How can we partner with, like the (Natural Resources) Trust Fund or other funding mechanisms to make sure we connect those areas?"
DNR Parks and Recreation Division officials said there are probably about 240 miles in gaps.
"We're going to figure out where the gaps are, what's single-use, what's multiple-use, how can we do those connectivities or connections and staff's working pretty hard on that," Creagh said.
Michigan owns 4.6 million acres of land, but Snyder and some lawmakers have asked what's the purpose of that land? Creagh said a portion of the answer is linked to the statewide trail.
"Part of that purpose is the connectivity to communities," Creagh said. "We have staff right now looking at how we purchased the land, what are restrictions on the land, how can we help with that economic and recreation experience and that's actually a good conversation to have within our department and with our stakeholders."
Creagh said the groups Snyder mentioned - along with the Natural Resources Commission, the Nature Conservancy and some other conservancies - met recently in the same room for the first time about the trail.
"We overlaid all the plans and looked at where's the commonality," Creagh said. "And so I think we're further along than what people think."
Most of the trail would be gravel, although some segments would be paved. Only non-motorized uses would be allowed in some areas, such as the North Country Trail. But in others, snowmobiles may be able to connect to the trail for wintertime use, officials said.
"I think it's probably going to take the next 12 or 18 months to make some type of request for proposals," Creagh said.
In some places, infrastructure improvements, including culverts or bridges, would likely be needed. Other costs could include easements or land purchases or swaps requiring legal work.
The DNR estimates if everything goes well, the trail could be completed within the next three to five years.

Eagles pound out win against NM
Klahowya wasnt about to let this one slip away.
After getting a scare from first-year Kingston in last weeks 47-34 homecoming win, the Klahowya football team was determined to bounce back after allowing 27 second-half points to the Bucs.
Thursday against North Mason, the Eagles (5-2, 3-0) did just that, taking a 20-7 halftime lead and hanging on for a 27-14 win at Silverdale Stadium.
We talked about the importance of this game before we came here, Klahowya coach Brad Hamblet said. I told them, Hey, we have an opportunity for tonight.
That opportunity was fulfilled as Klahowya is in the drivers seat for a shot at a state play-in game, with only Fridays trip to Sequim standing between them.
It didnt come easily however.
After jumping out 20-7 thanks to touchdown runs by both Andre Moore and Cody Hertenstein, plus an interception returned 30 yards by Moore for an additional score, the Eagles set out to avoid the comfort that allowed the Bucs back into the game a week earlier.
After a scoreless third quarter, North Mason (0-7, 0-2) was able to put together a 73-yard drive, capped by a 3-yard run by Rocky Guimont. The ensuing extra point made it 20-14, with the Bulldogs knocking on the door. Klahowya answered what Hamblet called the most important drive of the game.
The Eagles, starting on their own 13, continued to mix the run well, eventually driving all the way to the Bulldog 17. On fourth-and-9, the Eagles decided to go for the first down, with Moore going to the left side and cutting back up the middle for 10 yards. Hertenstein tailed off 6 more yards, setting up a 1-yard run by Moore to put the game out of reach.
But perhaps most important about the drive was the fact Klahowya ate up nearly 7 minutes of playing time.
Im really proud of the kids, Hamblet said. That fourth-quarter drive, that was critical. That ate up a bunch of time on the clock.
It also didnt have to be so close however.
After a pair of possession exchanges to start the second half, the Eagles were forced to punt from the Bulldog 48-yard line. The punt by Klahowyas Randy Schmittler was a good one and Guimont fumbled the ball on the play. Moore scooped it up and ran about 15 yards into the end zone, but the play was negated as the Eagles were flagged for a line infraction.
That was a huge one, Hamblet said. If we had gotten in on that one, the game would have been over. Penalties like that hurt you.
But on senior night, it didnt hurt the Eagles.
With just five seniors on the roster, Klahowya is one of the youngest teams in the county. But the seniors they have have been contributing.
All the seniors have been working their tails off, Hertenstein said. Even if they havent seen a lot of playing time, its good to have the leadership from them.
Defense was big again for Klahowya, as evidenced by the scoring pick.
The first half wasnt exactly what we wanted it to be, Hamblet said. But we had that interception by Andre, that was a huge thing. Whenever the defense scores points for us, its always good.
But the defense did far more than just that play, coming up with three sacks and a fumble recovery by senior lineman Taylor Cole.
For the teams seniors, Cole said it was a great way to go out.
It was great, Cole said. Our last home game, a big win; it feels good. The seniors are trying to step it up, pick it up for the younger guys.
Getting the win against North Mason made it even better, Hertenstein said.
Its a good one, he said. Weve pretty much become rivals over the years. It feels good. Were undefeated in league. Were showing people who we are.
Hamblet said the Bulldogs were a stronger team than numbers would show.
We knew they were a tough team, he said. Theyre a very good 0-7 team. They played us tough.
Moore again led all Klahowya rushers, tallying up 185 yards and two rushing touchdowns on 23 carries. In addition to the pick, Moore also recorded a sack. Hertenstein was strong again, getting 88 yards and a score on 17 rushes.
Brian Stromberg was North Masons leading rusher, picking up 112 yards on 20 carries, including a score.
Hertenstein said the Eagles learned a lesson from last weeks win against Kingston.
We just came out with intensity, he said. We played a full game. We finally put that together.
Next up is Sequim in the Eagles final league game. A win and the Eagles clinch the 2A Olympic League crown, earning a spot in the state play-in game against the Nisqually Leagues No. 2 team the first weekend of November.
The Eagles fell to the Wolves in a non-league home game Sept. 21, 21-17, but it was a game the Eagles thought slipped away.
Were looking forward to that, Hamblet said of the rematch. Its what weve been working for. We want that rematch. We felt like we should have had them the first time.
Having seen the Wolves once certainly helps.
Im thinking mainly on the line, Cole said on adjustments the team will make. The lines going to have to give 100 percent on every single play. Thats the main focus.
We really just need to go out and play football, Hertenstein added. We showed them last time we can play with a tough team like Sequim. That was a tough loss.
But I think thatll motivate the guys.
Hamblet said Klahowya will simply do what it can against Sequim.
Its a tough road game, he said. A long ride. On grass. But those are things we cant control. Well just do the things we can control and give our best effort.
Klahowya plays Sequim at 7 p.m. Friday on the road.

ANN ARBOR -- Terrelle Pryor's news conference is going on as planned, but the highly touted prep quarterback won't be making a head coach very happy on signing day.
The Associated Press sent Pryor a text message Wednesday morning, a few hours before he was to address the media at Jeannette (Pa.) High School, asking if he would announce where he will attend college.
"No, I'm not," Pryor replied in a text message to the AP.
Ohio State and Michigan were regarded as the front-runners for Pryor, but Penn State's push to keep him closer to home and a hectic schedule has led to his delayed decision. Oregon, LSU and Florida were possible destinations for him and might get back in the running for his talents now.
The 6-foot-6 Pryor is rated as the No. 1 recruit at any position by Rivals.com and Scout.com, 16th by Takkle.com and was the MVP last month in the U.S. Army All-American game in San Antonio.

• In some political news that's much more inspiring than catty or depressing kids from the Ron Clark Academy have taken TI's "Whatever You Like" and changed the lyrics to "you can vote however you like." Their song and dance in their little suits and ties is quite talented. It's totally non-partisan and totally cute.
• Not all political statements are as sweet, however. In West Hollywood a Halloween decoration depicting Sarah Palin in a noose is causing quite an uproar. And while it does not carry the same historical weight as the image of a black man hanging from a noose, which became a heated debate after an Obama effigy was found at local George Fox College, it does seem in poor taste.
• For the bachelors among us there're two things to be especially excited about today. First is the free Taco Bell tacos from 2-6 p.m. and the other are pics of Hef's new girlies Karina and Kristina Shannon, who apparently have a criminal record. Does that make them even sexier?
• And if all this election business has got you just itching to get out of our cold country, Air Jamaica is offering some pretty crazy winter deals. The sun may be beautiful and brilliant right now but you know the Portland rain is bound to return soon.
• Unfortunately it all can't be sunshine and roses. Leah Walsh, a 29-year-old school teacher of autistic children has gone missing, and her distraught husband is pleading for leads of any sort. She sent a text message Monday morning telling him that her car broke down and then never showed up for work. Authorities are investigating.
It's all the buzz on the Series of Tubes.

Chad Ford has Adam Morrison going No. 3 to Charlotte and LaMarcus Aldridge heading to the Blazers at No. 4 (while admitting the fourth pick could play out in several ways) in his mock draft v 4.0:
The Blazers (and their fans) want Morrison, and they'll grab him if he's there. The team's performance and reputation have suffered so much under team president Steve Patterson that some fans are yearning for the good old Bob Whitsitt "JailBlazer" days. Morrison's the kind of player who could heal some of that.
If Morrison is not there, the Blazers should get a good player, though the fans might not be happy.
Head coach Nate McMillan is a big Brandon Roy fan. Much of the Blazers' staff is high on Bargnani, who could slide if Toronto passes on him.
But the Blazers' most acute need is in the middle. LaMarcus Aldridge might be able to play center next to Zach Randolph, who is big and physical. And Aldridge has none of the off-court issues that have plagued the Blazers.

'American Idol' Top 9 performances - Lennon & McCartney Night Gallery
Relive the best (Crystal, Casey) and worst of Tuesday's Lennon & McCartney performances
Next gallery »First Look: HBO releases first 'True Blood' Season Three images
« Previous galleryExclusive: Three 'Stargate Universe' pics from 'Divided'
Casey James of 'American Idol' performs on Lennon & McCartney Night
Singer: Casey James
Song: "Jealous Guy"
Monkeys As Critics' Take: Does anybody else get the impression that nobody likes Casey? After several weeks of rockin' guitar band performances, Casey is venturing back into coffee shop territory on this John Lennon solo joint. This performance sent me to the Internet to see if there was an Eddie Vedder acoustic performance of "Jealous Man" that I'd never heard before. Because if there wasn't before there was now. Close your eyes and listen to the vibrato and you'd be convinced that you were listening to a Vedder impersonator. I don't remember the last time Casey did so much actual *singing*.
Randy, Ellen, Kara and Simon Say: Randy loved seeing this sensitive side of Casey James. He really needs to stop comparing Casey to Stevie Ray Vaughan. It's wrong on every level and it also seems to undercut the things that Casey really does pretty well. Ellen thinks this was Casey's best. Kara, calming down a little now, was impressed with Casey's vulnerability and his range. Simon calls it the best performance of the night so far, though he backs down and says that Crystal has been consistent, but that Casey made a bigger leap.

If Friday's PSAL showdown between Port Richmond and host Tottenville was a pro wrestling event, they might very well liken the running back matchups to a handicap match.
The Raiders (5-1), after all, often deploy a committee of rushers for their ground attack; while the Pirates (6-0) use a steady diet of the 6-foot-2, 225-pound Augustus Edwards when running the ball, at least when the games are relatively close.
Edwards, suffice it to say, will be a focal point for the Raiders shortly after the 7 p.m. kickoff takes place in Huguenot.
In six games this season, the Syracuse University-bound senior has rushed for 763 yards on just 86 carries to average a whopping 8.9 yards per clip. Edwards, who has 10 rushing TDs, is capable of pounding it up the middle or turning the corner and it often takes more than one tackler to drag him down.
Port Richmond at Tottenville, 7
Chaminade at Farrell, 7:30
Curtis at New Dorp, noon
George Washington at MSIT, noon
Petrides vs. Bryant at Flushing Memorial, 2
Susan Wagner at Sheepshead Bay, noon
St. Joseph Sea at Fordham Prep, 1:30
Christ the King at St. Peter's, 1:30
Port Richmond head coach Lou Vesce is fully aware of the damage Edwards can do.
"(Tottenville) is very efficient on offense and stopping (Edwards) is something we'd like to do," said Vesce, noting middle linebacker Compton Richmond and outside linebacker Tyrone Martin will likely play big roles if they're going to do it. "Last year, I thought we did a decent job on him, but he wore us down.
"We have to gang tackle him, no doubt," added the coach, who also acknowledged Tottenville wide receiver Malique Belfort (six TD receptions) as dangerous.
Tottenville head coach Jim Munson knows there's no secret to his offensive game plan.
"We're going to give it to No. 4 (Edwards) and to No. 11 (Andre Darnt) — it's easy to figure out," said Munson, who has given Darnt 19 carries for 157 yards this season, an average of 8.3 yards per tote. "Port Richmond runs a nice scheme; (defensive end Keon Hughes) and (Richmond) are physical players and we're going to have to keep doing what we do, which is getting Augustus touches and throwing the ball when we have to.
"Augustus is going to get his 20-25 touches. But usually by the fourth quarter, nobody wants to tackle him," added Munson. "Whatever you have to do to stop him, (do it), but then somebody else is going to be open."
The Raiders, meanwhile, have also been impressive running the ball this season, except they rely on a number of individuals to grind out the yards.
And grind they have. The foursome of halfback Mario Villafane (54 for 466, 8.6 yards per rush), fullbacks James Jones (56 for 262, 4.7) and Justin Coleman (49 for 195, 4.0) and quarterback Michael Goffredo (64 for 208, 3.25) have done the bulk of the damage. Combined, they've rushed for 1,131 yards (5.1 average), 13 touchdowns and 10 two-point conversions.
The success of the Raiders' running game has not only opened things up for their receivers (Tarrel Aiken has five TD receptions), but helped them win five straight after a season-opening loss to Boys & Girls.
"We spray the ball around a lot — we used six different rushers last week," said Vesce. "We haven't had a 1,000-yard rusher since I've been here (dating back to his days as an assistant to former head coach Steve Peretzman). We like moving the ball around and rotating our positions and it's been successful for us."
Although Munson was quick to point out the elusiveness of Villafane, he also acknowledged the damage PR's other backs are capable of doing.
"We can't let Villafane run around in open space — he's real dangerous when he gets to the outside," Munson said. "We also know what (Coleman and Jones) can do between the tackles.
"They all pose a problem. (PR does) a nice job with its offense."
Munson believes it's imperative for his defensive line, led by 5-11, 210-pound tackle Richard Lam, to continue to play well.
"We're not very big (up front), but we've been real physical and fast, and that has to continue against Port Richmond," said Munson. "They dictate the pace."
"They're not huge, but very aggressive. Tottenville always seems to have six-to-seven (defenders) around the ball. They run to the ball real well," added Vesce. "Lam is very good. He's always involved."

Did you know that shopping online could be considered a homophobic activity? Neither did I.
With all the new media options, you'd think media bias wouldn't be a problem for Christians. Well, you'd be wrong.
Why all the media celebration over the end of "Don't Ask Don't Tell?" You'd almost think there's another agenda at work here.
Remember those fast-food commercials that said, "Have it your way"? Americans are doing just that...with their faith.
If you've ever worried that we're raising a generation of morally neutered children, you've got good reason.
To Google, it appears that some nonprofits are more equal than others.
One of the best ways couples can protect their children is also the most simple -- by getting married.
We've been told over and over that America is trending away from religion. But is that true?
There's an important lesson that we in the West should have learned from 9/11. But did we learn it?
So now merely expressing orthodox Christian beliefs makes a political candidate a theocrat?
The bumper sticker read, "I owe. I owe. It's off to work I go." Well, that's what many think of work. Find out, instead, about the goodness of work.
When it comes to debating so-called gay "marriage," how we argue is just as important as what we argue.
Movies and TV shows are showing more suicides than ever before. What's going on?
From whom do young girls need more protection: predatory males or Planned Parenthood? Hard to tell.
One of the greatest gifts in life is a good friend — best friends like David and Jonathan, Ruth and Naomi, Achilles and Patroclus, Bert and Ernie.
So, how many friends do you have? Well, that depends on what you mean by "friends."
Have you checked out the teen fiction or "young adult" sections of the bookstore lately? They're full of books about psychic dating, vampires in love, and paranormal romance.
When culture makers try to mainstream what was once despicable, it's a sure sign our culture is in trouble.
Surely someone in the news media can identify the true cause of the London riots? Right?
Sometimes, we can look at sin right in the mirror and not recognize it. But when we see it through a camera's lens, it's easier to spot.

Sense and Sensibility is an enjoyable film, and yet it left me somehow unsatisfied.

Pre K-1st THERE WAS AN OLD MONSTER by REBECCA, ADRIAN & ED EMBERLEY (Orchard Books, 2009) *** In an interesting version of "There Was An Old Woman Who Swallowed A Fly", we have an old monster who swallows a tick. "I don't know why he swallowed the tick 'cause it made him feel sick." After that ants and lizards and bats and jackals and bears go down his gullet to catch the previous creature but, of course, to no avail. But hold on! Just wait! There is an interesting twist at the end of this retelling of the story! Brightly colored creatures crawl across a black background on the pages to make a wonderfully visual interpretation of the story. This is a fun new title from our old 'how to draw' teacher, Ed Emberley, and his family. And you can download a free recording of the song from the Scholastic website (web address included)!
2ND – 4TH the dream stealer by sid fleishman (Greenwillow, 2009) *** There is an unusual bandit that may sit outside your window at night. He doesn't take gold or diamonds or jewels. He steals dreams. His job is to only take nightmares but he has gotten scared and would rather steal the nice dreams. But one night he steals a wonderful dream from the wrong girl. Susana is dreaming about riding horses with her best friend who moved away. The Dream Stealer snatches her dream just as her friend, Consuelo Louisa, is falling from her horse. Susana awakens with a gasp. What happened to Consuelo Louisa? Is she alright? Susana begins a campaign to find and follow the Dream Stealer to get her dream back and find out if her friend is alright. Can she catch him? Will he return her dream? Read about the brave girl who pursues the Dream Stealer to get back what is rightfully hers.
MIDDLE SCHOOL brooklyn bridge by karen hesse (Feiwel & Friends, 2008) *** This story originated from the author reading a small tidbit about the family who created the teddy bear. Joe Michtom's parents ran a candy store in New York. When the story about President Teddy Roosevelt sparing the life of a bear cub was in the papers, his mother brought out fur fabric and sewed a bear. Not a fierce bear as in the wilds but a friendly bear, soft and cuddly. The teddy bear was an instant hit and the Michtom's apartment and store ended up completely turned over to making bears. Joe was not so much in favor of this bear business. There was no more candy in the store. All of his parent's time was spent in making bears. He had little time to himself with having to help out and babysit his little brother. All Joe wanted was for his family to take a day off and go to the new park, Coney Island. Interspersed throughout the story are the tales of homeless children living under the Brooklyn Bridge. Mysteriously, the two stories intertwine in unusual ways creating a very interesting read.
HIGH SCHOOL the king's rose by alisa m. libby (Dutton, 2009) *** Ever curious about what it was like to live in the King's court during the reign of Henry VIII of England? Ever curious about the story behind the women who became his wives and how they lived as Queens of England during the Tudor period? This historical novel gives the reader an intimate view of the life of Catherine Howard, who became King Henry's 5th wife when she was still a teenager. The political maneuverings, the social pressures, the personal blessings and curses are interwoven in this intriguing account of her courtly life. The vividness of the portrayal of King Henry and Catherine's marriage relationship is a bit overdone, but it conveys the number one purpose of the union: to be sure a proper heir would be born to carry on the royal lineage at all costs. The fate of Catherine Howard is inevitable as you follow the path of this vulnerable, naive young woman from her life as a lady-in-waiting to performing the duties of the Queen.

Getting bolder in colors as well as attitude, is common with birds in the spring, as the males are trying to impress all the ladies. It seemed today like these birds were 'modeling' for the camera. I almost shouted out 'Vogue'! The little sparrow has his tail pulled all the way to the right and looking over his shoulder as if posed for the beginning of a dance. Bring on the nice weather, these guys have to be getting tired of performing for me.

Alex Theatre is a beautiful and nostalgic theatre to see any production. It was a treat to see "The Goonies" on the big screen, especially since this was my first time seeing it.

So awesome to see The Goonies on the big screen! And the theatre is beautiful. I wasn't aware that there would be a guest speaker (the prop-master from the film), but his 10-minute interview before the film added a lot to our enjoyment. And we...continued

I missed when this movie first came out and I have never seen it. Seeing it in a theatre was great, along with the Our Gang short, Bugs Bunny cartoon, and Q&A with Goonies Prop Master Erik Nelson. A fun time!

Classic Movie, Classic Music, Classic Love Story....
The Goonies is a grand adventure film, and a blueprint for how to make an all-ages film that holds up over time.
Mikey and Brandon Walsh are two brothers whose family is preparing to move due to a new development that is sure to be started unless enough money is raised, which is quite doubtful.
But, when Mikey stumbles on a treasure map of the famed "One-Eyed" Willy's hidden fortune, he, his brother, and a few friends set out on a quest to find the riches in hopes to save their homes.
The entrance to a cavern is found, but it is located underneath an abandoned restaurant occupied by the Fratelli family, a treacherous group of thieves who attempt to beat the "Goonies" to the treasure.
The Goonies stars Josh Brolin, Sean Astin, and Joe Pantoliano. Written by Chris Columbus and directed by Richard Donner.
Event running time is approximately 2 hours.

Oregon State 52, Washington State 24
Top performance: Beavers quarterback Sean Mannion had a career night, passing for a personal-best 493 yards to go with four touchdowns while completing 34 of 51 passes. Mannion, whose previous career high was 443 yards, also threw one interception.
Key contributors: Rashaad Reynolds came up with two huge interceptions, Steven Nelson had a fourth-quarter pick, and Richard Mullaney was a reliable target (five catches, 122 yards) on a night Brandin Cooks was human for much of the game. And Cooks still managed 137 yards on 11 catches. He also rushed for 34 yards on a handful of fly sweeps. Senior receiver Kevin Cummings, who has become a lethal third-down threat, scored a critical touchdown and finished with 73 yards. With tight end Connor Hamlett sidelined, Caleb Smith came up with a few huge catches, totaling 60 yards.
Key play: Reynolds stepped in front of a Connor Halliday pass at the beginning of the fourth quarter, returning the interception 18 yards and setting up an OSU score that put the Beavers ahead for good. OSU scored 35 unanswered points to end the game.
It was over when: Nelson picked off Halliday with 10:40 to play for the Beavers' third interception in less than five minutes. Seven plays later, Cooks scored his third touchdown of the night, and the Beavers extended their lead to 52-24. The Cougars had five turnovers in the fourth quarter.
Injury report: Junior tight Connor Hamlett did not play the second half after injuring his knee. Offensive lineman Josh "Juice" Andrews was injured early in the fourth quarter.

Staunch pro-life activist Alveda King will discuss at St. Cecilia's Church the need to keep abortion and euthanasia out of health care reform being considered by federal lawmakers, she said in a telephone interview earlier today.
"Abortion hurts women, and it kills babies," said King, an Atlanta resident whose uncle is the late Martin Luther King Jr. "We need to keep America healthy."
King, an author and former Georgia legislator, compared the abortion issue to the civil rights struggle, saying that a "baby in the womb" is often viewed as less than a person.
"We want the civil rights of every American to be considered," she said.
King will be joined by Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th Dist.) for a gathering that organizers hope is the first of several at the Catholic church.
"We're going to see how this one goes and if people are receptive to it," said Tom Haltigan, co-chair of the Pro-Life Ministry, the church-affiliated group hosting the event.
He said the two speakers were some of the more renowned abortion rights opponents in the country and were a "good fit" for the meeting.
King said she was available to speak in Rockaway because she was already in the New York region.
"We wanted to reach out to the people of the area," Haltigan said. "We wanted to show them people on the front lines."
Smith, an outspoken anti-abortion advocate, is expected to talk about the legal and political issues of abortion.
The event will be from 7 to 9 p.m. at Hayes Hall in St. Cecilia's Church, 70 Church St. There is no admission fee, but only up to 300 people will be allowed.
Officials from Planned Parenthood and the county National Organization of Women chapter said they had no plans to protest the event.
"They're entitled to their right to assemble and talk about what they want," said Jackie Cornell, field director for Planned Parenthood's New Jersey affiliates.

Tony Blair's fondness for US presidential style politics is well-documented. But it seems, on face value at least, that there is one area where he can teach one White House hopeful a thing or two – tax efficiency. Mitt Romney, up until now at least, a front runner for the Republican nomination, famously allowed people just a peek at his considerable personal wealth when he published his two most recent tax returns, almost 550 pages in all. The independently wealthy former governor of Massachusetts earned $21.7 million in 2010 and $20.9 million last year, all from profits and dividends on canny investments – none from wages or salary – although he continues to make capital gains profit from the private equity company, Bain, that he set up in 1984 and left in 1999. In 2010 he paid $3 million in income tax – effectively 13.9 per cent – and his tax bill for last year will be about $3.2 million, effectively 15.4 per cent. All legal and legitimate, he pays tax on income from his Swiss bank account and other tax havens including Ireland. But far less than any of his opponents or the average US taxpayer. Mr Blair succeeded in paying just £315,000 tax on earnings by Blair, Inc (more formally known as Windrush Ventures) of more than £12 million – a 42 per cent increase on the previous year. Almost £11 million of this income was written off as "administrative expenses" and, therefore, tax allowable, and bringing total profits for the company down to just over £1 million on which corporation tax was levied at 28 per cent. The result was a bill of just £315,000. Mr Blair paid £2.3 million in wages to 26 staff, some of whom accompanied him on 61 overseas trips totalling 224,000 miles of travel. He spent a further £300,000 on office equipment, and £550,000 on rent for his Mayfair offices. Details of almost £8 million of deductible expenses for "administration" have not been publicly disclosed. There is absolutely no suggestion in either Mr Romney's or
Mr Blair's cases that their low tax bills are anything other than utterly, legally bona fide – if a bit hard for some to stomach. Mr Blair's tax-allowable expenses include premises costs, stock costs, travel expenses, repairs, staffing costs and his salary. Business profits are subject to corporation tax, charged at 20 per cent for profits under £300,000 with a rising marginal rate imposed on profits between £300,000 and £1.5 million. It is 26 per cent (25 per cent from this year) on profits over £1.5 million – after all deductions for expenses.
Of course, it could be argued that Mr Blair represents precisely that same, wider can-do entrepreneurial spirit exemplified by the surge in the numbers of self-employed and hailed by Prime Minister David Cameron in mitigation of this month's seriously disheartening jobless figures of 2.69 million (expected to hit 2.8 million). Self-employment rose by 101,000 to 4.12 million accounting for 14.1 per cent of total employment, according to the Office of National Statistics. It has jumped 8 per cent since the recession started in 2008, even though the number of employees has fallen 3 per cent, or 109,000. But, says the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, this jump has less to do with an enterprise culture and more to do with "desperation". In other words, the vast majority of these new businesses will be ordinary people working part-time and freelance rather than higher income earners like Mr Blair – and his protégée David Miliband – who can make the most of corporation tax. According to the CIPD, women account for more than half the increase (see hair dressers for a daily example) and nearly 90 per cent work fewer than 30 hours a week. The CIPD's John Philpott said the figures suggest an army of sole trading odd jobbers desperate to avoid unemployment.
The Government has run out of things to do in the House of Commons. Understandable, given the coalition's engagement outside Westminster in the biggest social engineering project this side of the Second World War. The long and short of it is that there is not enough Government business to occupy MPs. Official Opposition "supply day" debates, when Labour and the other minor opposition parties have a chance to choose the topic for debate, have already been used up as the Government seeks to pad out empty time in the Chamber. Now even more days are being thrown at Labour, "unlisted" supply days, as Speaker John Bercow announces in lip-curled emphasis at the coalition's blank agenda. Instead of leaving the Government embarrassed by having nothing for the Commons chamber to debate, Labour business managers feel obliged to fill in the gaps in case people feel they have nothing to say about Government policy. So that's working well, then.
Former sports minister Gerry Sutcliffe was quizzing his coalition successors during hearings of the DCMS select committee on the Olympics. He wanted to know why more ministerial applications had been made for the beach volleyball than all the other events put together – around 4,000, give or take a roll in the sand. Red faces on the ministerial table were followed by a civil service explanation that, of course, the volleyball competition is taking place on Horse Guards Parade in the middle of Whitehall. So, the explanation went, ministers would be able to participate while taking the minimal time off duty. Yes, minister.
