Analysis is based on changing problematic behaviors, feelings, and thoughts by discovering their motivation. In dysfunctional families, children must learn to cope with unbearable situations, and often develop classical psychological symptoms. Social workers, in turn, will attempt to identify destructive behavior and emotions, and select suitable therapy.

Before you buy a boat, you should know where it has been located or stored prior to purchasing it. Boats that have been in certain regions of the country or certain water bodies have the potential to have invasive species attached to the boat, oftentimes in difficult to access locations . Invasive species can "hide" in many nooks and crannies, including the motor trim tabs (see below photo - Photo credit: W. Baldwin), water intakes, bait and live wells, anchor and mooring lines, and all elements of the motor or propulsion unit.
Before buying a boat, have the boat inspected to ensure there are no invasive species on board that could hitch a ride to the boat's new location. And if you are purchasing a boat from another state, ALWAYS contact the destination state and ask about the laws and regulations pertaining to transporting your boat across state lines. Each state has different regulations, and state and provincial Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinators can assist you with navigating the laws and regulations of each state and province your boat moves through en route to its final destination.

In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also

1. Primarily the "empty variable" default assignment, which is mostly
${name}_flags="", but fix a few others as well.
2. Where they are not already documented, add the existence of the _flags
(or other deleted empties) option to the comments, and in some cases add
comments from scratch.
3. Replace things that look like:
to just use %%PREFIX%%. In many cases the $prefix variable is only used
once, and in some cases it is not used at all.
4. In a few cases remove ${name}_flags from command_args
5. Remove a long-stale comment about putting the port's rc.d script in
/etc/rc.d (which is no longer necessary).
No PORTREVISION bumps because all of these changes are noops.
Remove the FreeBSD KEYWORD from all rc.d scripts where it appears.
We have not checked for this KEYWORD for a long time now, so this
is a complete noop, and thus no PORTREVISION bump. Removing it at
this point is mostly for pedantic reasons, and partly to avoid
perpetuating this anachronism by copy and paste to future scripts.

I have been out of the wine business for some time, and sadly no longer have the opportunity to taste a wide variety of Kosher wines on a regular basis. So I am relying on a trusted source for this years picks:
Rashi Moscato d'Asti 2010 $9.75
Delightfully fresh, semi sweet, with outstanding floral, melon, pear and tangerine aromas and flavors. Moscato is a fantastic way to start or end your evening.
Gamla Sauvignon Blanc 2009 $13.49
Produced entirely from Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in the Golan Heights. The cool fermentation retains the round fruitiness and crisp herbaceous qualities characteristic of this variety. Shows off bright guava lime and kiwi notes rounded out with hints of citrus fruits and fresh flowers. Ready to drink and is best enjoyed within a couple of years from the harvest date.
Hagafen Sauvignon Blanc 2010 $18
Produced from a well-established vineyard in the Eastern foothills of the Napa Valley, where hot days and cool nights are ideal for creating crisp, clean, long-finishing food friendly wine. On the nose, the Hagafen shows lemon, grapefruit, and kiwi. This crisp, bracing, mouth-watering wine fills the palate with a well integrated mix of bright fruit, including lemon drops, limes, grapefruit, and citrus zest.
Dalton Reserve Viognier 2009 $15.95
Silky smooth white wine with delicate nuances of honey, peaches and apricots. A brief period in barrels has accented those flavours with sweet notes of vanilla and caramel.
Hagafen Ripken Vineyard Roussanne 2008 $19.99
This Roussanne is produced from grapes grown in the Ripken Vineyard, a site renowned for its ability to lend white varietals complexity and fruitiness, qualities required for a food friendly wine such as this one. The addition of a small amount of Marsanne adds hints of almond to complement the bouquet of sweet citrus, wild flowers, and tea. This mouth-watering wine fills the palate with a well integrated mix of lemon, grapefruit, almond, and bitter melon. Long-aging, this wine should be enjoyable for many years and is an ideal accompaniment for a range of dishes.
Joseph River Chardonnay 2009 $10.15
This Chardonnay has a clean banana tropical fruit nose supported by good natural acid The wine is well balanced with oak and has a long lasting finish.
Teperberg Meritage 2009 $15.95
70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. This classic Bordeaux blend is full of dark fruits, like black cherry, blackberry and currant. Recommendation: Roast Beef, chicken or stews.
Tabor Adama Volcanic Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 $14.99
Dark garnet, medium- to full-bodied, with fine grained tannins integrating nicely. A ripe, supple and harmonious wine showing currant and blackcherry fruits, those supported by hints of near-sweet cedar wood and dark chocolate. On the long finish an enchanting hint of licorice.
Binyamina Yogev Cabernet-Petit Verdot 2009 $13.59
80% Cabernet/20% Petit Verdot - Exhibits bold color, rich structure with fresh fruit aromas. Full bodied, fruity, blackberries on the palate and dry long finish.
Weinstock Cellar Zinfandel 2007 $20
These grapes were hand harvested by sustainable growers in the warm Central Valley of California. Following pressing, the wine was aged for eight months in French oak. Medium to deep red color, rich and intense. Loaded with chocolate, cherry, wild berry and spice flavors. This full bodied, dry red wine is accented by a wonderful smoky, toasty oak finish.
Borgo Reale Pinot Noir 2009 $12.69
The Apulian vocated clay soils and sea breezes make Pinot Noir one of the most intriguing wines among the wide range of Borgo Reale selection. The color is an intense red, but it is on the nose that the uniqueness comes out. You can feel sweet notes of berries and cassis yet a warm sensation. The palate is elegant, harmonious and well structured.
Jerusalem Hills Cabernet-Shiraz 2009 $13.99
This Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz matures gently in the warm days and cool nights of the Judean Mountains, surrounding Jerusalem, close to maritime breezes coming straight from the Israeli coastal plain. This ideal climate allows the fruit to reach its entire flavor potential, offering rich varietal flavors delicately balanced by a generous savory finish.
Barkan Classic Petite Syrah 2009 $9.95
Deep ruby color, with chunky, country-style tannins and a few cherry-berry fruits. A great lush wine that goes well with almost any food you can imagine.

Young posted the picture above on his personal Instagram account on Friday afternoon and wrote: "Happy birthday bro."
The Belgium international made his first appearance of the season for United when he came on as a late substitute during the 1-0 loss to Southampton at Old Trafford last month.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — For many in the police community, it's a difficult time for the profession, but no one knows the difficulty more than the loved ones closest to officers.
"He straps on that vest, he straps on his belt and we kiss him, we tell him we love him, because these days you turn on social media, you turn on the news, it's almost daily or weekly, that were hearing of police officers being shot or killed," Rita James says. James knows first-hand what it's like to get the news you're loved one has been shot.
"The officer said he's been shot we don't know how bad and they're star-flighting him to Memorial Hermann," James remembers. November of 2000, her husband, Scott James was working a graveyard shift in Baytown, Texas. James was shot five times.
"As soon as we got to Memorial Hermann, there was officers from every agency that I could think of, his brothers in blue lined up in the hallway and I thought the worst," she said.
James survived thanks to a ballistics vest, he and his family moved to Central Texas and he's been with the Travis County Sheriff's Office for 13 years. He is a sergeant with the department.
"Everyone sends their loved one out to protect others and you just don't know you don't know if that was the last time you were going to see them," Rita says.
She says incidents like the recent San Antonio detective killing cut deeper each time. "You feel a tingle down your feet and my husband had to go to work that day and you don't want them to go you literally don't want them to go to work," Rita says.
For now, Rita says she holds on to faith. "He still has a job to do and I know deep inside that he scared too not only for himself and for his comrades his sisters and his brothers and sisters in blue, he's very afraid of what's going to happen," Rita says.
She keeps an end of watch folder in case one day her husband doesn't come home. The Austin Police Spouses Association just helped launch the support group, the Travis County Spouses Association. They say they're available to help anyone who needs it or would like to join.

Sometimes you come across a lofty railway viaduct marooned in the middle of a remote country landscape. Or a crumbling platform from some once-bustling junction buried under the buddleia. If you are lucky you might be able to follow some rusting tracks or explore an old tunnel leading to...well, who knows where?
Listen hard. Is that the wind in the undergrowth? Or the spectre of a train from a golden era of the past panting up the embankment?
These are the ghosts of The Trains Now Departed. They are the railway lines, and services that ran on them that have disappeared and gone forever. Our lost legacy includes lines prematurely axed, often with gripping and colourful tales of their own, as well as marvels of locomotive engineering sent to the scrapyard and grand termini felled by the wrecker's ball.
Then there are the lost delights of train travel, such as haute cuisine in the dining car, the grand expresses with their evocative names, and continental boat trains to romantic, far-off places.
The Trains Now Departed tells the stories of some of the most fascinating lost trains of Britain, vividly evoking the glories of a bygone age. In his personal odyssey around Britain, Michael Williams tells the tales of the pioneers who built the tracks and the yarns of the men and women who operated them and the colourful trains that ran on them. It is a journey into the soul of our railways, summoning up a magic which, although mired in time, is fortunately not lost for ever.

Director Dee Rees On Making Southern Culture Come To Life in 'Mudbound'
The film hits Netflix on Friday.
The plot thickens.
Three days after Tamar Braxton was suddenly let go from The Real, rumors are still swirling as to what went down behind the scenes. Meanwhile, her co-hosts are coming forward one-by-one to show Braxton their support — and make it clear that they had nothing to do with Tamar getting the ax.
Now, after trying to stay out of the mess for a few days, Loni Love has finally stepped forward to tell us what really went down over the weekend, and how each of the girls of The Real was involved.
According to Loni, who posted a video explaining what went down, none of the hosts knew Tamar was leaving the show until she group texted them all on Saturday, writing, "I heard I'm being fired." She adds that Tamera Mowry-Housley was the first to respond, but none of the girls were able to get a hold of Tamar on the phone after the initial text.
Shortly after, Loni says, FOX called her and told her that Tamar had been let go, but refused to answer her questions about why. Loni adds that she was blindsided by the news because the ladies had just done a photo shoot for season three and were scheduled to attend the Essence festival together later this year.
It's great to see these ladies stick together and, from the way they've all reacted since the news broke, it seems like Tamar will be sorely missed by her co-hosts.
Catch up on everything that went down in the last 72 hours with BET Breaks, above.

Unanswered: MSDASQL and VB6 error 2147217887
Hi there
Brief overview:
Using COM+ created in VB6, that executes stored procs (SQL 2K) via the command object (cmd.commandtype = adCmdStoredProc), with appended parameters.
Whenever doing cmd.execute, the error "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done." is returned. The active connection errors collection contains only this error, nothing else.
The stored proc works from sql query analyzer, and vb is happy when the stored proc is called like cmd.execute "exec spProc @Param1 = 5" etc.
Strange thing is that it has always worked as described in first senario.
When te component is recompiled, existing methods work fine when called with ASP, new methods fail. When running the component's code with a test project, all methods (old and new) that use the first scenario fail.
We are trying to pinpoint the issue, but are getting nowhere. No changes were implemented on the servers between it working and stopping working, and project backups from a period we know everything worked fine exhibit the same symptoms.
Tried MDAC 2.6 and 2.7 with no success. Any ideas?
--update Aug 9 2003
Found the culprit: working with uniqueidentifers, and it seems passing them as parameters to VB methods require that the curly braces be INCLUDED eg. GetPricelistProperties("{1234-........5678}") . SQL query analayzer and stored procs work either way, with or without the braces.

WINE tourism is set to be the new drawcard for Australia under a major deal announced today.
Tourism Australia and Wine Australia will join forces to promote regions such as the Hunter Valley in NSW, Barossa Valley in South Australia and Yarra Valley in Victoria under the partnership.
Tourists from China, the USA, UK and Canada will be targeted in the three-year marketing deal, as well as domestic tourists.
Tourism Australia managing director Andrew McEvoy said they would work with companies such as Penfolds and Jacobs Creek, which are household names in many countries.
"Every bottle of wine that goes overseas is like a liquid postcard for Australia,'' he said.
"In China you say wine and they say Penfolds.
"One thing Wine Australia brings is eight to ten companies who export over 90 per cent of Australian wine.''
A recent survey of country brands by Futurebrand found Australia ranked first for beautiful beaches when it came to attracting tourists, but did not even make the top ten for food or wine.
Mr McEvoy said people who hadn't been to Australia had a lower understanding and expectation of food and wine offerings than those who had been.
"The gap between what people think it's like and what it is actually like is a marketing opportunity,'' he said.
"Regional areas can especially benefit from the tourism opportunities offered by Australia's wine experiences, especially when matched with our fine food offering.''
Together, wine and tourism contribute around $140 billion annually in economic value.
As part of the agreement, which begins next month, the two government organisations will partner on a range of marketing activities such as advertising and consumer promotions, digital marketing, public relations and special events.
Wine Australia chief executive Andrew Cheesman said he wanted to see more quality Australian wines on wine lists and retail shelves around the world.

Media Capture and Information Monopolization in Japan
In this paper, we investigate the unique institution of the Japanese press industry called kisha club system, which is deemed as the symbol of media capture by the government, and collusion in the media industry. By tracing through its history, we show how the institution has developed as a result of the government's attempt to control the media, and the media's incentive to use the alluring opportunity provided by the government to limit the rivalry within the industry. We find that the distribution of political power is a major factor behind the collusive press-politics relationship. By providing a simple model that links the distribution of political power and the media capture, we explain why this institutional arrangement has been so persistent in Japan.

Altitude Program Needs Adult Volunteers- 10/13, 10/14 and or 10/15
Newton Medical Center has joined with several community partners to form Altitude…an empowerment program for 8th graders in Sussex County, inspiring students to "Take The Climb" toward their highest and best selves. Pass It Along is proud to be part of the Altitude Team.
Through the multi-modal components of this program Altitude creates safe places and appropriate interventions to help students develop life skills, believe in their own strength and goodness and feel excited about using their time and talent in service to others.
Taking place over the course of the entire 8th grade school year, students participate in workshops, school based clubs, school culture and climate assemblies, community service projects and more. An end of the school year Rally celebrates their success in Taking The Climb.
We would like to invite you to join us as an Adult Participant at one or more of our our three upcoming Challenge Day events at Sparta Middle School, on Tuesday October 13, Wednesday October 14, and Thursday October 15. The program will run from 8:00am to 2:00pm each day.
Challenge Days are powerful, high-‐energy programs in which youth and adult participants are guided through a series of experiential learning processes. The overall goals of the program are to increase personal power and self-‐esteem, to shift dangerous peer pressure to positive peer support and to eliminate the acceptability of teasing, violence and all forms of oppression. The Challenge Day Program is designed to unite the members of the school and to empower them to carry the themes of the program back to the school population.
Challenge Day also successfully addresses issues of violence, teasing, social oppression, racism, harassment, conflict management, suicide, peer pressure, alcohol and drugs.
Since 1987, the Challenge Day Program has touched the lives of over half-‐a-‐million teens and adults nationwide. The Challenge Day Program has received numerous awards from the juvenile justice system, government officials and many school districts and cities throughout the nation. The program was featured in the book Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul and the Emmy Award-‐ winning documentary Teen Files: Surviving High School.
Adult Participants are crucial for the success of the day. We will meet with all Adults for at 7:15am each day, prior to the start of the program, to let you know what is needed from you and to answer your questions. No prior training is necessary other than the morning check-‐in meeting. Our Challenge Day staff closely monitors the program and our Leaders will give instructions throughout the day. You must be able to remain on site and participate fully for the entire program, including 30 minutes after the program at the end of the day for a post-‐Challenge Day debriefing.
Please email Tom Askin, Altitude Program Manager, to register: email@example.com or call him directly at (973) 715-8124.
We hope you will be able to join us for this wonderful experience!

Today's children all spend more time on the computer and the TV and less - sports.This can not but affect the formation of children's spine.
problem of how to treat scoliosis in children is becoming more urgent with each passing year.
Unfortunately, without a properly sized treatment of the disease is developing rapidly and can lead to dangerous consequences.
Causes Scoliosis - continuously deteriorating without treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, at which the curvature of the spine to the side.In medical practice, the most frequently observed cases of twisting the spine axis in a clockwise direction and at least - against it.Before learning how to treat scoliosis in children, it is necessary to understand the causes of its origin.It is known that a child skeleton, particularly the spine, continue to form until 18-20 years.During this period, the risk of problems with the musculoskeletal system is pa
In some cases, the disease is congenital in nature.However, in this case independently detect and understand how to treat scoliosis in children, it is impossible.With a regular visiting podiatrist problem it will not exactly be ignored.It is worth noting that the scoliosis can be treated only during the direct growth of the organism, ie. E. Up to 20 years.Subsequently correct scoliosis is impossible, as the musculoskeletal system are already lined up in a stable system.Highest treatment outcomes observed in children with scoliosis at the age of 5-12 years.
detect scoliosis can be on posture.Depending on the degree of development of the disease can be seen curvature of the spine.In the early stages there is a C-shaped curvature of the spine from the longitudinal axis of the spine, and in the later stages of development, it becomes an S-shape.If time does not see a doctor to the question how to treat scoliosis in children, thereby ignoring the problem, due to muscle tension rotation will occur and the subsequent twisting of the vertebrae along the longitudinal axis.Over time, this will lead to the formation of vertebrate hump, which is even visible to the naked eye.How to detect early signs of scoliosis in a child?Parents can hold their own small diagnostics.There are five points that allow to see the curvature of the spine:
the treatment of children's scoliosis doctor before the task is not only to eliminate the distortion, but also to identify and eliminate the causes that led to it.However, some experts believe that the children's scoliosis is enough to normalize the work of the muscular system of the back.In the future, the body alone will restore the normal position of the spine.How to treat scoliosis in children offer modern doctors?In fact, the methods of eliminating distortions of the spine changed little.Consider the most popular and effective ones:
Gymnastics for the spine - the basis of the treatment of children's scoliosis.For children, this method is considered the most optimal as an emerging baby's spine can be easily corrected.
In the following video provides a set of exercises for the treatment and prevention of child scoliosis:
Although treatment with a special gymnastics will take a long time, the result will be perfectly secured.Also, as a physiological scoliosis doctors advised to hang on the bar in a passive state, and swim in the pool.

Anchor Bay Nabs Josh Radnor's HappyThankYouMorePlease
by Alex Billington
August 16, 2010
Source: Deadline
I'm writing about this film because it was one of my favorites from Sundance this year, but it's having some distribution troubles. Deadline says that the original distributor, Hannover House, who picked up the film in March, has given up the rights to Anchor Bay Films instead, who will still release it in theaters. The film I'm talking about is Josh Radnor's HappyThankYouMorePlease, a romantic comedy of sorts that won the Audience Award at Sundance. The film stars Radnor, of "How I Met Your Mother" fame, as well as Kate Mara, Malin Akerman, Zoe Kazan, and others, like 9-year-old Michael Algieri (who plays a key role).
In addition to starring in the film, HappyThankYouMorePlease was written, directed and produced by Josh Radnor. It's kind of an ensemble film with a few different stories, but the main focus is on an unsuccesful author named Sam (Radnor) who accidentally ends up as the caretaker of a lost 9-year-old kid, all the while trying to woo a beautiful singer he meets at a bar named Mississippi (Mara). The IMDb synopsis explains: "Captures a generational moment - young people on the cusp of truly growing up, tiring of their reflexive cynicism, each in their own ways struggling to connect and define what it means to love and be loved."
Apparently Hannover House hasn't been doing well with their releases and decided to give up this film (and a few others). But because it's so loved (it did win the Audience Award), Anchor Bay came to the rescue and swooped it up. They're not the biggest distributor, but they should do a good job getting this out there and building some buzz for it, as it deserves it. For anyone curious about that title HappyThankYouMorePlease, it comes from some fantastic lines in the film when Tony Hale (who plays another key character) is talking about some wisdom he gained from a cab driver. It actually works perfect in the context of the film overall.
Deadline didn't hint as to when this will be out, but I'll definitely keep you updated on Anchor Bay's release plans, as this is one film I'm anxious to support. You can read my 9 out of 10 review from Sundance as well.

A March 6 ABC report reveals the government delayed the publication of the Making Children Safer report arising out of the Child Sex Abuse Royal Commission. The government excuse is that they wanted to publish the report together with the safeguarding framework and general action plan.
The report was finished seven months before publication that revealed half the reports of abuse did not received an adequate response.
The government appears to reflecting the complicit behaviour of Church authorities to child abuse. Hide abuse allegations (242) as long as it can, hide evidence of its inaction, make promises that it does not live up to and essentially do nothing.
As usual for this government, it denies all responsibility and does not apologise for its blatant lack of its duty of care to the abused children.
None of this meeting the PM's promise (Australian, Sept 17, 2016) when he said "I will not let you down" to child abuse victims. It seems that extremely vulnerable children held in detention, do not count in that promise.


text: Wow...long time lurker, first post. After being turned off Trek by the reboot, I've decided to introduce all that is good to my son (10 years old). I decided to start off with TNG because 1) Wesley appeals to a kid his age and B) let's be honest...TOS can be a bit dated and cerebral for some that age. However, Kirk and Company absolutely need to be a part of my son's personal canon and during the artificial hiatus I've imposed between TNG seasons, I figured I'd introduce him to TOS, so that when it comes time to show ST VII, he'll understand the gravitas of the meeting of the two captains. But, again, I don't want to bore him out of his mind (and away from Trek), so I really only want to show him those episodes that really matter to the TOS movies (ex: Space Seed), develop the core characters or are exciting. So my question put to you is this: in Season 1, what are must-hit eps to show him? Our hiatus is about 2-3 months long (want him to salivate and dream about the various cliffhangers), so I want to hit him up with the best 8 or 10 eps from Season 1. Help appreciated, Rev

Effects Of Small Changes In Stock Prices On Corporate Values
May 1, 2002
The ability of a company to generate cash flow has an important effect on the value of a company's stock. But the opposite is also true: stock prices can affect a company's cash flow. Small changes in stock value can have a large and permanent impact on revenues, investment and cash flows, which, in turn, affect stock prices.
When stock prices decline, some of the company's stakeholders (suppliers, employees, costumers, lenders) will decide to do less business with the company.
- The relationship of a company with its stakeholders can be symbiotic --especially if companies produce complementary products, like Microsoft and Intel, and if there are "network externalities" such that the more people consume a product, the higher its value.
- In the presence of symbiotic relationships, even a small drop in stock prices can trigger a cascade of negative feedback effects, while the opposite is true for small rises in stock prices.
- By changing the amount and type of information they release, managers can influence the feedback effects that comes from stock price fragility.
- Mature companies can lower the chances of a negative cascade by reducing transparency; smaller, younger firms have everything to gain by attracting new stakeholders and would therefore benefit from more transparency.
Stock price-cash flow feedback effects can also explain why managers tend to invest in short-term projects (they might want to increase the chance of a positive cascade) and why an increasing number of companies decide to go public at an early stage and offer shares at large discounts (they try to attract new stakeholders and trigger a positive cascade).

Escaping from the streets of New York when a kind police sergeant takes her in, Kathleen Mallory grows up to become a proud member of the NYPD and embarks on a dangerous case to find her father's murderer.
Serial killing, insider trading, the occult and the vices of wealthy Manhattan widows are the themes that collide in this heavy-handed first novel starring an unusual policewoman. Kathleen Mallory was an 11-year-old thief living on the streets of New York City when Detective Louis Markowitz rescued her and raised her in his home. The novel opens a decade later when Markowitz, a widower, is found dead beside the third in a series of Gramercy Park dowagers slashed and murdered in broad daylight. Mallory, whose early criminal instincts and keen intelligence have been loosely channeled into computer science, is forced to take a leave from the department and decides to seek vengeance on her own. O'Connell peoples her tale with colorful characters, both Mallory's allies and suspects, but there is little nuance to any of them. Particularly lacking in dimension is the heroine herself, who proceeds through the plot with a robot-like, if intense, predictability; the voices of Markowitz's friends repeatedly refer to Mallory's brilliance and appeal, but little in her actions suggests notable insight or charm. The broadly stroked narrative of this much-publicized debut has commercial potential, but the absence of subtlety or consistency suggests a short shelf life. 50,000 first printing; BOMC and QPB selections. (Aug.)

Instead of wrapping up a trilogy, writer-turned-director Leigh Whannell launches a new horror franchise with a movie that's scary even if it's not particularly original. Its trump card is a strong central performance from the wonderful Lin Shaye, who plays out a sort of origin story (although they could still go back further) for her memorable character from the first two movies.
She's Elise, a medium in touch with the spirits of the dead, and as this story starts she's closed down her practice for good. Then the bright teenager Quinn (Sophie Scott) shows up, desperate to speak to her recently deceased mother while she makes important decisions as high school comes to an end. But Quinn has inadvertently made contact with a much more malevolent spirit in her apartment building, and when her father (Dermot Mulroney) realises that her life is in danger, he convinces Elise to help. Meanwhile, Quinn's little brother Alex (Tate Berney) gets in touch with Spectral Sightings internet ghostbusters Tucker and Specs (Angus Sampson and Whannell), who are about to see their first real ghost.
The film looks terrific, from the everyday creep-outs in the creeky old houses and apartments to the much darker atmosphere of "the further", which Elise has to enter in order to rescue Quinn from "the man who can't breathe" (Michael Reid MacKay), a seriously gruesome spirit who isn't content just haunting the living: he wants them to join him. Shaye delivers a performance that's unusually complex for this genre, as Elise struggles to balance her past and present with a flood of emotions, a reluctant determination to help and a generous sense of prickly humour. Mulroney also adds some weight as a concerned single dad at the end of his tether. And Scott has a promising charisma in the opening scenes, less so when the plot reduces her to a scream queen.
Continue reading: Insidious: Chapter 3 Review
A year and a half ago, a young girl lost her mother. She misses her every day, and continues to relate the stories of her life to her mother, hoping that she can still be heard. The problem is, if you make contact with one ghost, all the ghosts can hear you. When Quinn (Stefanie Scott) becomes the subject of attention for a particularly harrowing phantom, Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) is forced to reluctantly agree to use her powers of communicating with the dead, with the hopes of freeing Quinn from the creature that has now possessed her.
Continue: Insidious: Chapter 3 Trailer
Leave it to a veteran to show the young sparks how to do it: it's been 30 years since George Miller last visited his post-apocalyptic hero Max Rockatansky, and now he's back with the best-staged action thriller of the year, a blockbuster that dares to have meaningful themes and complex characters. He also recreates Mad Max as a kind of James Bond franchise with a story that sits alongside the earlier films, not before or after, and an actor who brings a new energy to the role.
In a desert wasteland where people trade water and oil to survive, Max (Tom Hardy) is a loner haunted by the death of his family. Then he's captured by a gang from the Citadel, a towering rock city run by the tyrant Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne), who has positioned himself as a god who keeps his enslaved people on a short leash. On a mission to collect oil, Joe's top imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) veers her war-rig off into the desert. So Joe sends a gang after her. Leading the charge is the gung-ho Nux (Nicholas Hoult), who uses Max, strapped to his car like a grille ornament, as a blood-bag to supply energy. But after a series of clashes involving three other gangs of desert marauders, Max and Nux end up on board Furiosa's rig, in which she is hoping to smuggle Joe's five young wives to safety.
The plot itself is fairly blunt, which means that the film requires very little dialogue (Max doesn't speak at all for the first 45 minutes, mainly because his houth is actually bolted shut). Even so, Miller fills every shot with telling details that strengthen the characters and provide insight into what they are doing, building more intriguing relationships with suspicious glances than most filmmakers do with endless conversation.
Continue reading: Mad Max: Fury Road Review
The world is messed up. Years after multiple calamities totally trashed the planet, the world is covered in nothing but desert, and populated by the people strongest and most likely to survive - many of whom happen to be mad. Max (Tom Hardy) is a former highway patrol man, who has an unrivalled knowledge of the desert that now covers the planet. When he accidentally runs into a group of possibly the last women on the planet, and agrees to escort them through the desert to safety, to ensure the continuation of the human race. But when Max ends up being captured himself, it is down to his new friends to rescue him from a gang of lunatics.
Continue: Mad Max: Fury Road - Final Trailer
Mad Max just keeps on running. With nothing else to lose in his life, his only instinct is to survive the ever more savage climate the world has become. Trapped in the Australian desert where water and oil run low and any resources are precious, he finds living easier when he's alone, occasionally interacting to rescue the odd tribe who have found themselves in serious trouble. When he his captured by power-hungry barbarians intent on claiming the world and its inhabitants as their own, he must escape; though sometimes that means using more force than you ever thought you were capable of. On the way he meets Furiosa, a desperate woman on a mission to re-discover her childhood home and find salvation. There's more sand-soaked stunts and death-defying action as Max hits the road in his most brutal adventure yet.
Continue: Mad Max: Fury Road - Extended Trailer
With the world first running out of oil, water soon followed. Planet Earth is now covered in endless deserts, and people driven completely insane through desperation. Across the lawless land, flee two rebels, desperately holding onto what could perhaps be the only chance for the world's salvation and order. Perusing them, is an evil, chaotic bandit leader, desperate to get his hands on what they carry. And then there's Max (Tom Hardy) - a simple man of action and few words, who just wants to live his life outside of all this madness. But in a world gone insane, just how long until he becomes Mad Max?
Over 35 years after his directorial debut with 'Mad Max', George Miller returns to the franchise that made him with 'Mad Max: Fury Road'. After almost 25 years in development hell, the fourth film in the 'Mad Max' series began its principle photography in July 2012 in Namibia, with filming finishing in December of the same year. In November 2013, certain parts of the film had to undergo re-filming before it was finally finished. 'Mad Max: Fury Road' is set to hit theatres on 15th May 2015 in the US.
A strong undercurrent of Aussie black humour helps make this revolting story just about palatable, although the solid cast struggles to make the idiotic characters very likeable. The film owes a lot to the Coen Brothers' classic Fargo, as a group of people make ridiculous decisions that lead to pain, conflict and death in a situation so complex that no one has a clue what's really going on. There are some very funny moments, but the filmmakers' real goal is to gross the audience out. And that they do.
Based on a true story from 1983 Melbourne, the film centres on Ray (Angus Sampson), a geeky TV repairman who wins the annual prize in his local football club and suddenly finds himself invited to the cool parties with the team captain, his childhood friend Gavin (Leigh Whannell). The club's president Pat (John Noble) wants Gavin to travel to Bangkok to collect a shipment of heroin, and Gavin talks Ray into doing the job, swallowing 20 heroin-filled pods. When Ray panics on reentering Australia, he's picked up by federal agents Croft and Paris (Hugo Weaving and Ewen Leslie) and held for seven days in a hotel room. But Gavin refuses to move his bowel, confounding them. Meanwhile, Pat is on a rampage trying to find his missing drugs and make sure Ray doesn't spill the beans, as it were.
Yes, this is literally an anal-retentive story, told with bone-dry wit by a group of filmmakers that includes actors Sampson and Whannell (who play ghostbusters Tucker and Specs in the Insidious movies). The film moves at a surprisingly slow pace, never building up much energy but keeping everything luridly trashy as these chucklehead characters flail pointlessly against everything that goes against them. Each person thinks they're in control, but no one is. And only the underused women are truly likeable: Georgina Haig as Ray's sassy-savvy public defender and Noni Hazlehurst as his increasingly frazzled mother.

Max Rockatansky is a formidable traveller of the Australian outback, still fighting against the dystopian setting whereby population is low and resources are few. He is still suffering from past traumas - the loss of his family due to rogue criminals - and is scarred from his frequent rescue missions of the various tribes he has come across over the decades. This time, however, he is more prepared than ever to deal with the ever growing brutality of the ruffians out to kill him, and as usual he is prepared to be just as savage in order to survive. It's been a long time since any kind of law and order was held in the world, so sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. On his latest journey for peace, he meets Furiosa; a woman desperate to live life once again and is convinced that her childhood hometown on the other side of the desert holds the key to tranquility in her life.

After his assuredly traditional The Conjuring, director James Wan bounces back with a more playful horror movie that subverts cliches rather than revelling in them. Like 2011's Chapter 1, this sequel allows Wan and screenwriter Whannell to merrily reinterpret the story with events that take place before, after and even right in the middle of that first film. And they are clearly having a lot of fun in the process, which keeps us both entertained and frightened.
It picks up right where we left off: with their son Dalton (Simpkins) rescued, Josh and Renai (Wilson and Byrne) take their three kids and flee to stay with Josh's mother Lorraine (Hershey). But of course, the ghostly nastiness follows them, and extremely creepy things start happening all over again. Now Lorraine realises that this has something to do with an event from Josh's childhood, so she calls in an old family friend (Coulter) to help. But ace ghostbuster Elise (Shaye) isn't readily available this time, so they have to make due with her always-distracted sidekicks (Whannell and Sampson).
As before, Wan deploys every standard haunted house gimmick in the book, filling the screen with freak-out apparitions, scary noises, slamming doors and screaming babies. He also uses plenty of movie trickery to disorient us, including a jarring musical score and suggestive visuals. Meanwhile, Whannell is digging around in the original movie's plot for things he can play with, redefining events with clever revelations while adding a whole new underlying story to the saga. And the film continually shifts tonally, so we never know what to expect in the next scene.

Reg and Lindsay Morgan are two Australian brothers who work in the organic fertiliser business, providing super growth treatments for crop farmers everywhere with their blood and bone fertiliser company Morgans Organic. When Reg comes across a very dead driver of a white van that's been involved in a car accident, an ingenious idea springs to mind to boost sales. He grinds the body and uses it in their magic mixture to increase the amount of potassium in their product. However, finding available fresh corpses on the road isn't the easiest thing to do, so when they discover three lost travellers in the middle of nowhere, their new opportunity is too good to resist.
