I saw them live in New Orleans and find them great Ambassadors for Ireland. I wondered, though, if they find the American audience a bit subdued compared with Irish audiences.

I think that some of their performances, while long on beauty, and I mean that in a musical as well as a visual sense, are a bit short on oomph, for want of a better word. I have heard many of these songs performed in a far more spirited way by others.

We just went to "Celtic Woman - Songs from the Heart" at Radio City Music Hall. The main problem with this show was that it was fun and interesting, and there is some real talent, but the musicianship IS more like a pop show and not, say, The Chieftans, who are devoted to showcasing Irish and international music with exceptional musicality. If you are someone who is accustomed to listening to classical music, or, for that matter, any music that requires technical skill wedded with moving interpretation, well, Celtic Woman is rather more a spectacle with almost no room for anything less than a 5 out of a 10, 1 being subtle or sublime and 10 being heavy, maybe not coarse, but blaring and just flat out loud. It was: pound pound pound accompanied by pretty voices. I was so sad to see the supremely sublime and almost mystical, "My Lagan Love" sung halfway with real feeling by a solo singer (as it should be), only to be inexplicably ruined by adding in unwanted, unneeded and unnecessary backup vocals!! What a huge shame! It started out as the best performance thus far and ended up being foiled by this unwanted arrangement.
I am sorry that those who criticize the "Boston Globe" reviewer don't seem to understand what he is trying to say. Maybe it's because some listeners don't have the ear or training to know the difference between good musicianship and good pop.

I first saw Celtic Women on a PBS Special and was captivated being Irish born and raised. When my Birthday rolled round my American girlfriend surprized me with front-row tickets to see them live in Concert! I knew the lyrics to many of the ballads having grown up in a musical household in Ireland and sing Baritone in a Chorale here. A part of me wanted to hum or 'sing along' but of course kept quiet. This was not an Irish Pub. So I lip-sync'd, and at times closed my eyes for the harmonies were exquisite. One of them must have noticed how much I was enjoying the evening for after they sang a second 'encore' when they finally held hands at the front of the stage and bowed she leanded forward gave me a little wave and smile with 'good man yourself' It was the best.

over-packaged, over produced and over-marketed ....they are to Celtic music what processed food is to natural organic sustenance. God, they suck.

Celtic Women is finally coming into their well-deserved own. Having been raised on Irish music (seanacchie grandad, fiddle players aplenty, and ballads), I sang, played and lived the music. Marriage to a non-Celtic appreciative German didn't kill me - only made me stronger!

Their music is as beautiful as they are. I intentionally scheduled my leave (vacation) from Afghanistan so that I could make their Redrocks, Colorado concert in 2009. Their music is an eseential part of my day here in Iraq, and was while I was in Afghanistan. The days would have been miserable without it. Thank You Celtic Women for your contribution to the beauty of the world.

Love this article, especially the videos. The music of these women really moves me, their voices are pure and strong, their harmonies like a choir of angels. The chorus and musicians, give me chills when they back them up for a full blown piece. On PBS I enjoy the backgrounds of Slane Castle and Powerscourt and even the pyrotechnics. I especially like the Celtic music, but enjoy the contemporary songs, too. I was in the front row of the Wang center in Boston last March, feeling like I was inside the music. It was the most powerful musical experience of my life. I never get tired of hearing them.

When the group Celtic Woman first started, they were touted too much for us Celtic people as really good. It was like Louis Walsh and Boyzone money-making marketing all over again – if you've got it, flaunt it - and we know what happened to Boyzone. But these ladies have real talent. Not yer man Walsh's. I think they're great musicians, songsters and dancers. I'm not going to say a word about the sound and lighting effects (*whisper* - great stuff, you people). But sitting at home in me house, having chosen only what I think is good enough for my music library, the Celtic Woman group sounds like anyone else in me library... bemeselfjacers I say – just brilliant! And not a picture in sight as I listen.

Two Fayetteville businesses were robbed at gunpoint Tuesday night, about 30 minutes apart, and city police say they believe the same person is responsible for both.
The first robbery was reported about 8:25 p.m. at the Golden China restaurant at 155 Bonanza Drive, said Gavin MacRoberts, Fayetteville police spokesman.
The second was reported about 9:10 p.m. at the Family Dollar store at 4112 Raeford Road.
In each case, a man showed a gun to employees, took an undisclosed amount of money and left, MacRoberts said.
The robber in both cases was described as being about 6 feet tall, in his 20s, wearing dark-colored clothing, a hooded sweatshirt and a baseball cap with a purple bill, MacRoberts said.
The description matches that of a gunman who robbed the Burger King restaurant at 638 S. Reilly Road on Feb. 4 and Little Caesar's at 7944 Raeford Road on Feb. 6, MacRoberts said.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 433-1856 or Crimestoppers at 483-TIPS (8477).
Crime Prevention specialists are available to meet with business owners and provide security tips by calling 433-1033 or 433-1034.

Darlington boss guarantees an improvement at Salford
8:00am Saturday 28th September 2013 in Football By Craig Stoddart, Deputy Sports Editor
In 57 games since taking charge at Darlington, Tuesday's display at Ramsbottom ranks among the lowest points in manager Martin Gray's tenure.
He says the 3-0 defeat against a team second-bottom at the start of play was not the worst performance under him though, with the 4-1 loss at Guisborough Town 12 months ago earning that ignominious status.
But Tuesday's display was not much better and the rollicking at Ramsbottom the angry manager handed out to his players left them in little doubt what is expected today at Salford City.
"They didn't talk, I didn't let them, no chance. It's my way and that's how it's going to be," said Gray, as he described the post-match inquest.
"They knew they'd had a bad game, but they need to be told as well because all they've had for the past year is pats on the back - it's reality time now.
"You'll see a better performance than Tuesday, that's guaranteed. You will see a reaction on Saturday, 100 per cent, otherwise there will be changes."
It was making changes on Tuesday, however, that appeared to contribute towards Quakers' undoing, with Terry Galbraith a weak link at left-back, while Ramsbottom's speedy left-winger Phil Dean gave Chris Hunter a torrid time on the opposite flank.
Gray explained Galbraith's positional switch from midfield, saying: "I wanted a bit of quality with the passing in the full-back areas and I thought, on the ball, Terry Galbraith was smashing. Defensively he did okay, no more than that.
"Goals change games and you see the mentality change when goals go in.
"On Sunday, Manchester United conceded goals against Manchester City, their confidence went and they couldn't get back into the game.
"We had a bit of that on Tuesday - our confidence went and Ramsbottom's grew."
Leon Scott or Paul Weldon are sure to return at left-back today as Gray will make alterations to the XI that fared so badly against Ramsbottom.
Alan White is available and likely to play, but Nathan Fisher remains in limbo as the club were last night still awaiting international clearance following his arrival last weekend.
He was in the stands on Tuesday, when Quakers were 2-0 behind at the break against a side that spurned opportunities to score more goals, yet Gray felt his team were "in charge" during the first 45 minutes.
He said: "We had one or two similar games last year. Guisborough was worse because we didn't create many chances that night, but on Tuesday, apart from the two goals, I felt we were in charge. That's my honest opinion and the opinion of the staff.
"But you can't give teams a two-goal headstart, especially teams likes Ramsbottom, who had four special, really quick, sharp players.
"The left-winger was excellent, the front man made some great runs and the two centre-backs did what they're paid to do, so you've got to give them credit.
"We need to make sure we learn from Tuesday because you can't come away and expect to be allowed to pass the ball through to the front men and carve teams open. It doesn't work like that.
"You've got to do the ugly side of the game, win your personal battles from the first minute until the last minute - that's what football's about. After that your football ability comes through."
Having conceded nine goals in their last three away games, Darlington need a vast improvement today. They were held to a 0-0 draw last Saturday, so a failure to take three points today would mean three league fixtures without a win for the first time since 2011-12. Ninth-placed Salford have lost only once in the league.

KENTUCKY (9/17/13) - Don't throw away the toilet paper tube after you use up that roll of toilet paper. Using old toilet paper tubes and a few other ingredients from around the house to create a ping pong ball launcher.
• 2 Toilet Paper Tubes
• Ping Pong Ball
• Tape
• 2 Rubber Bands
• 4 Paper Clips
• Plastic Wrap
STEP 1: Cut one of the toilet paper tubes lengthwise.
STEP 2: Tape the cut toilet paper tube so the circumference is smaller when compared to the uncut toilet paper tube. You should be able to fit the cut toilet paper tube inside the uncut toilet paper tube.
STEP 3: Tape a piece of plastic wrap over one end of the cut toilet paper tube.
STEP 4: Place the plastic wrap end of the cut toilet paper tube inside of the uncut toilet paper tube.
STEP 5: Place a paper clip on the end of each toilet paper tube so they are directly across from each other.
STEP 6: Attach one end of the rubber band to each of the paper clips.
STEP 7: Place the ping pong ball inside the larger toilet paper tube. Pull the smaller toilet paper tube back, release, and observe.
As you pull the smaller toilet paper tube back, energy is stored in the rubber bands. Stored energy is potential energy. Once you release, the stored energy is transformed to energy in motion, causing the ping pong ball to fly across the room. Energy in motion is kinetic energy. Go to www.hookedonscience.org for more experiments that might get you and your family "Hooked on Science."

New Life
Butcher's Hill gets an Irish pub.
Tucked onto a hard-to-find, one-way street near—but not walking-distance near—the Hopkins medical campus, 2031 E. Fairmount Avenue has always been a challenging location. For years, Simon's Pub managed to lure patrons with its upscale yet reasonably priced New American menu; after the pub closed, new owners never seemed to be able to bring in the needed crowds to their Simon's of Butcher's Hill, despite the delicious New Orleans cuisine and frequent live jazz.
Chai Life
There's nothing tame about this tea drink.
This winter, we've noticed more and more places offering tea that's definitely not for the tea totaller, in the form of chai-flavored martinis—and we applaud the trend. Slightly lighter and less sweet than a chocolate martini, but still decadent and creamy enough to feel like a proper winter indulgence, we love the spicy warmth it adds to a night. The recipe changes—at Taste Restaurant, it involves vanilla vodka and chai concentrate, while others use a chai-flavored liqueur.
Off the Eaten Path: Nak Won
It can be easy to miss a new addition to the cluster of Korean restaurants in the lower Remington neighborhood; they tend to have fairly blank facades, and most of their signage is in a language I don't speak. So it took me a little while to discover Nak Won (spelled "Noc Won" on the awning, but "Nak Won" on menus and business cards), which opened late last year next to the more venerable Joung Kak. I'm glad I finally went, though, because this is one of my favorite Korean restaurants in some time.
Off the Waterfront
Victor's goes casual in the county.
For years, Victor's Cafe in Harbor East was a favorite place to dine al fresco while looking out on the Inner Harbor. But recent development in the area forced the waterside restaurant to close. Now, owner Victor DiVivo has re-opened in a new location in the Timonium Crossing Shopping Center (2080 York Road, Timonium, 410-308-0620), next to the Baja Fresh. Other than the name and DiVivo himself, however, this new venture has little in common with the old one.
Grapevine: Judge Not
When exploring the business side of the wine world, it can be easy to develop prejudices that ultimately lead to a jaded view of the whole affair. But it's a new year, and I resolve not to let myself think that way. In that spirit, I went in search of wine types that I have been known to, well, think little of. Write off. Insult, even.
Tijuana's a pleasant surprise.
La Tijuana Cantina (1003 N. Charles Street, 410-752-3333) is a funny little place. Located above the popular Mt. Vernon gay bar Grand Central, it's a separate entity from the bar downstairs (though they are owned by the same person). Furthermore, La Tijuana's two rooms each have their own very separate identities. One really is a cantina, a brightly lit, festively decorated room with Latin music playing. A mural of Mexican travel posters takes up one wall. The other room is dim and modern, with pop and club music on the sound system—more cosmo than margarita.
Off The Eaten Path: Flying Avocado Cafe
One of my favorite food trends is a renewed interest in locally produced ingredients. It's a movement with so many benefits: environmental (less gas used to transport things), economic (supporting local farmers), and aesthetic. Local ingredients tend to taste better, because not only are they fresher, but they're bred more for flavor than for being able to withstand long-distance shipping.
Grapevine: So Long, 2006
The end is nigh, isn't it? Just a few more weeks, and we'll be putting 2006 to bed. In the meantime, there are roughly 11 million parties to attend, with an attendant gauntlet of horrifying "festive" beverages to run. The great thing about showing up at a party with a vinous contribution is that it is firstly a very nice gesture, and secondly a guarantee that there will be something attractive for you to drink. This month, we'll have a look at a trio of party-goers that are bursting with pleasure, but won't burst your holiday budget.
Have Another Slice
Rodney Henry sets up shop anew.
We sighed despairingly when rock-and-roll pie man Rodney Henry, pictured, closed up his little shop in Canton. Yes, we knew we could still order pies through his website (http://www.dangerouspies.com), but we also knew that we were lazy, capricious creatures who could not be counted on to plan our pie cravings ahead of time. Now, however, Henry and business partner Bob Kinnecome have opened a new Dangerously Delicious in Federal Hill (1036 Light Street, 410-522-7437).
DiverCity: At The Table
A group of local restaurateurs discusses the evolution of ethnic cuisine, customers' changing attitudes, and the ubiquitous crab cake.
Baltimore has changed profoundly over the past few decades, and so have its eating habits. Food is often our first introduction to different cultures, and the restaurant scene reflects shifts in local tastes and demographics. So as part of our ongoing look at race and ethnicity in the region, we asked the owners of seven popular ethnic restaurants to share their experiences during a roundtable discussion moderated by food editor Hannah Feldman.
Best Restaurants 2006
The competition to make the top 50 heats up.
For years, one word summed up Baltimore's dining scene: tradition. We had our tried and true institutions, serving dishes our grandparents had ordered before us, and we tasted history and familiarity in every bite. But things have been changing lately. This past year saw the disappearance of many old favorites: Jeannier's, Rudys' 2900, and (unless Peter Angelos wants to tell us differently) Marconi's, that granddaddy of them all.
When you spend 24 hours in our area's diners, you learn a lot about Baltimore—and drink a lot of coffee.

Her Father's Daughter

Two years after her father's death, Eddie's of Roland Park owner Nancy Cohen talks about life with—and after—Dad.

There is a traditional American story and it goes something like this: Immigrant father starts to work in an industry. First he's a clerk, then he's a manager, then one day he buys a store. Then he buys another store. And another. Now he is wealthy and successful. He has a son. Maybe the son wants to go into the father's business. Maybe he doesn't. But eventually, the inevitable occurs. The father gets old—or dies—and the son take his rightful place in the family hierarchy.

This dish is not actually a casserole at all. It's a modern take on the flavors of old school green bean casserole – the kind made with cream of mushroom soup and fried onions out of a can. As a result, it's a crowd please, satisfying the traditionalists and the devotees of fresh and local food.

Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy has canceled his decree giving him sweeping powers but plans to push forward with a planned referendum Dec. 15 on a draft constitution, presidential adviser Mohamed Selim el-Awwa said.
The announcement came after Morsy pushed forward with talks Saturday in an attempt to end a political crisis that threatens Egypt's stability, despite calls by the opposition to boycott the meeting.
Morsy's meeting was an attempt to end a political divide that has spilled into the streets, pitting the president's supporters and opponents against one another and raising questions about his ability to lead the fragile democracy.

"We feel it is a privilege to so honor Ambassador Hearne who has contributed so much to the free nations of the world," Father Shields said. He referred to the Ambassador's role in the drafting of Ireland's new Constitution which has been called "The most comprehensive code of Christian social democratic doctrines and principles ever enacted in a national constitution." Mr. Hearne, before coming to this country as the first ambassador for the Republic of Ireland in 19*50, had served in numerous top-level and policy making capacities as a representative of Ireland. He was assistant to the Attorney General in 1923, Legal Advisor to the Irish Foreign Officer in 1929, Irish delegate to the Assembly of the League of Nations 1925 to 1938, delegate to the Hague Conference on the Codification of International Law, and to the Geneva Disarma- ment Conference 1030-1932.

Students Protest Calhoun Parking Situation asdfsd asdfsdf Dr. Peterson Attends North Dental Seminar Dr. Harold Peterson, professor of Prosthetic Dentistry, attended a three day seminaT at the University of Marquette, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this week, according to Dr. Frank J. Houghton, dean. At the seminar, representatives from schools throughout the nation, confined the meeting to a discussion on newer methods of construction or processing ob both upper and lower dentures. Ring Out The Old, Ring In The New To the Student Body: Student Government At Loyola The idea took form in St. Paul, Minnesota, at the Eighth National Congress of the National Federation of Catholic College Students. Loyola delegates, Harold Lamy, Ed Uzee, Ed Kammerer, and I listened with interest to brilliant Joe McMahon of Manhattan College and his group of students from all over the country, comprising the National Commission on Student Government. They spoke about student rights in student government and pointed out the many advantages of a student government program and its workings in various Catholic colleges. We were impressed and wondered whether such a program would benefit Loyola. Only time and experience would tell. Returning home, we proposed the adoption of student garernment to the Student Council then in office. They accepted it with enthusiasm and set out to make it work. There was much to learn and there were a goodly number of mistakes in the beginning. Officers and interested members of the Council attended night classes to learn parliamentary law. Others worked on constitutional revision and re-organization. Gradually things began to take form. Some dropped off the Council as the months went on and the work became more complex and difficult. The majority continued until the end of the year, carrying the double burden of pioneers: inexperience, and lack of understanding from many fellow students. Gradually interest grew in the Council and its workings. The latest elections showed a record vote. Now the lines are drawn. A pattern has been set, a path cleared, for the new Council. Much remains to be done. Perhaps the new Council irill draft an entirely new constitution. They will find the work of the Council—coordination of student activities, enforcement of disciplinary regulations, representation of the school—enough to test their sternest mettle. If they succeed, they will win the gratitude of the student body and administration at Loyola. They must not fail. The leaders of the past Student Council, Louis LaCour, Dill and Ralph Redmann and Sally Barker manifested much strength of charaeter, determination, and hard work. They have merited well of the coming Council, of the student body, and of Loyola. Very sincerely yours, Anthony C. O'Flynn, S.J. Dean of Students.

Talking about Asian families, in Singapore we have this unique housing problem.
Land-scarced Singapore is almost totally urbanized but most families cannot stay together forever. Landed properties, especially bungalows, are in short supply and beyond the reach of many.
As a result more than 80% of residents live in HDB (Government Housing & Development Board) flats. When the children get married, chances are he will leave his parents to start a family in a HDB flat. The size of the flat will depend on the combined income of the couple.
But many couples would like to live near their parents so they try to wait to get a flat which is suitable.
So the government has been beset with many complaints and unhappiness, when young married couples could not get the wish.
The situation has eased recently when a new Minister took over and released many more HDB flats, most of which were quickly taken up. So it is fair to assume that many couples have been satisfied somewhat.
The government has gone further not too long ago to build flats that can accommodate the parents in his children's flat. In such a setup, the parents have their own room within the children's unit, separated by an internal staircase perhaps.
The children prefer to stay with their parents so that the latter can help look after the grandchildren or to supervise the maids. They still retain some form of privacy both for the parents and the children.
Just an example to illustrate how Singaporean culture is taking place as it relates to the family.
I have a conspiracy theory about the Australian Open. I've watched quite a few of the matches this week, and as I suspected it's like 'spot the Caucasian'. This is to be expected, because the sport is very much an expat sport these days, but I wonder how many of my fellow pasty-white people couldn't get time off to go watch because it's Easter.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not even a Christian - but Easter is very much one of those holidays that are spent with family, on a camping holiday or whatever. It's just the done thing.
Now when you look at the official coverage, the whole event was a tourism publicity event!! Aside from Yonex, the other major sponsors were the state and tourism, with the only 'adverts' were for Sydney! I guess all this is fair enough to a degree, but I really do feel like I've 'taken one for the team' here. Ah well. I guess any promotion is good promotion?
Just adding my observations here from watching the final matches played, I could see certain spectators sitting at round tables having drinks and dinner served while players were battling it out a few feet away. This is something I have seen in any other televised tournament so far or am I wrong? The special guests seemed to be sitting around half the tables so as not to have their backs to the action but then at times appeared quite indifferent to the play.
That was what I've observed too! And I think it was not a good idea in such a relatively small hall where the party makers can be such a distraction.
I've never seen this before during an international badminton tournament. But as someone
has mentioned it was Easter, a public holiday meant to be celebrated in a unique way in Sydney?
However, during the Singapore Open, we do have a special room that overlooks the courts below, meant for officials and invited guests to have drinks and some bites and watch the matches at the same time.Last edited by Loh; 04-21-2012 at 10:01 AM.
Thanks, Loh, for your agreeable response. In concluding, we know VIPs and sponsors need special treatment and so that was one way to do it. Maybe in hindsight, to watch world class badminton at ground level and from the longer side of the court is not the best of views. Perhaps they would have enjoyed the finals better from a higher vantage point and from one of the shorter side of the court as preferred by most TV crews. For the international badminton fans to be watching a badminton match with spectators having drinks and dinner in the immediate background just looks too out of place. A similar comment also applies to the Axiata Cup telecast with the constant running ads on 3 sides of the court while matches are played simply reduced our viewing pleasure to zero.
In the first place, I don't think that venue is the most appropriate for an international badminton tournament.
It is small and narrow and hardly any more room to accommodate more fans and spectators.
From my TV, I could see distracting bright spots emanating from outside and no thick curtains were installed to shield the light.
The hall is noisy, made worse by screaming infants, and the floorboards were making noises which were amplified loudly to TV viewers.

Today's Blind Items - Evil Jealousy
This director was about A list when he was essentially blacklisted from working for a two year period. Why was he blacklisted? This is where it gets really interesting and really spiteful.
It starts with this A list mostly movie actor who insists on staying closeted despite everyone knowing he is gay and never seeing him with any kind of female love interest. Plus, he is an a-hole. No one really like shim. They out up with him because he is a great actor. If he sucked as an actor, he would be the old man in the gay bar, hoping he can scrape up enough money to buy some young kid enough drinks and get him to go home with him.
Anyway, this resentful closeted gay actor was having a little fling with our director. The actor was treating the openly gay director like crap, which is the actor's usual way. The director got tired of it and on his next movie had a fling with a very good looking A list mostly movie actor who enjoys the men from time to time, but never publicly talks about it any longer because he enjoys women a whole lot more.
Well, word got back to our cranky closeted A list actor and when the director would not apologize for having a fling with the other A list actor, the director was blacklisted. The cranky actor couldn't do anything about the director's project at the time, but made sure he didn't work for a few years because of some very vicious rumors he spread about the director. About Thanksgiving of last year, the director, needing to work again, apologized to the actor and the actor immediately got the director a high paying gig.

During the annual July 4th festivities in a North Carolina fishing town, Helen (Sarah Michelle Gellar) wins a local beauty contest and departs with her boyfriend Barry (Ryan Philippe) and pals Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.). On their way back home, Ray hits a fisherman with her car. The teens panic, drop the body in the water, and abandon the scene. Many months later when Julie returns from college, she gets an anonymous note: "I know what you did last summer." The four teens suspect the note was written by their classmate Max (Johnny Galecki), but then Max is murdered -- and the terror begins. (In the original Lois Duncan novel, the teens hit a small boy on a bicycle instead of a fisherman.) The screenplay is by Kevin Williamson, whose credits include the 1996 box-office hit Scream. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

I Know What You Did Last Summer was one of the two teenaged horror movies responsible for bringing the horror genre into the 90's (the other being Wes Craven's Scream). Both of those films came from the pen of screenwriter Kevin Williamson, and both of them generated sequels. I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is the continuation of Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt), a tortured college co-ed who accidentally almost killed a man and left him for dead one night. One year later, that man, named Ben Willis, came back to kill all of Julie's friends. Now, another year later, she still suffers from nightmares over the horrible incidents. When Julie's roommate Kate (Brandy) wins an all-expenses paid trip to the Bahamas on a radio promotion by guessing the capital of Brazil, she decides to take her roommate Julie, her boyfriend (Mekhi Phifer), and their new friend (Matthew Settle) on the retreat. Once there, they discover that besides being the rainy season, they were also followed by Julie's nemesis who is still seeking revenge. Slowly the islanders turn up murdered, leaving Julie no choice but to explain her past actions to her friends and fight to stay alive. It will entail the final showdown between her and Ben Willis once and for all. ~ Chris Gore, Rovi

When a model soldier who recently returned to the U.S. from the front lines of Iraq goes AWOL, his veteran father enlists the aid of a dedicated police detective in seeking out his son's true fate in director/screenwriter Paul Haggis' follow up to the Oscar-winning 2004 indie-hit Crash. Mike Deerfield (Jonathan Tucker) has served his country faithfully, and now the time has come for him to return home to the United States. Shortly after returning, however, Mike simply vanishes without a trace. Mike's father, Hank (Tommy Lee Jones), is a former MP from the Vietnam era, and quickly recruits Detective Emily Sanders (Charlize Theron) to assist him in his search for the missing soldier. While it remains to be seen whether Hank will ever find his missing son, he gets quickly enmeshed in a tangled web of intrigue, cover-ups, and murder, all related to the Iraqi conflict. The drama thus highlights the profoundly personal toll combat takes on soldiers, while striking at the very heart of the American experience in Iraq. Inspired by a Playboy Magazine article written by Mark Boal, Haggis's fictionalized version of the actual events co-stars Jason Patrick, Susan Sarandon, James Franco, and Josh Brolin. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

An outsider teen acclimating to a new school finds a home in a reclusive teenaged fight club in this drama from Cry_Wolf director Jeff Wadlow. Jake Tyler (Sean Faris) has just moved with his family to Orlando, FL. While Jake isn't exactly comfortable being the new kid in town, his younger brother, Charlie (Wyatt Smith), is an aspiring professional tennis star who might just have what it takes to break big. But Charlie isn't the only talented athlete in the family, because Jake used to be something of a hotshot on the gridiron -- at least back home. Here in Orlando, Jake is considered something of a hothead thanks to his penchant for brawling. In an attempt to better fit in with his new classmates, Jake accepts flirtatious classmate Baja's (Amber Heard) invitation to a raucous party. There, the short-fused newcomer is lured into a fight and badly beaten by local bully Ryan McCarthy (Cam Gigandet). But a beam of hope shines through the humiliation when a classmate who sees potential in the defeated fighter informs Jake of a local MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) program run by Jean Roqua (Djimon Hounsou). Despite Jake's preconceived notions regarding MMA, he quickly discovers that it's not just another form of street fighting but a rich new art form that he longs to master. As Roqua takes Jake under his tutelage, it soon becomes apparent that in order to become a true MMA champion, Jake will have to learn patience, discipline, willingness, and reason. This isn't just a quest for revenge, but an opportunity for Jake to finally find out what kind of man he truly is. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Three lifelong cheaters wise up in this gross-out college comedy, which marks the second feature role for Rushmore star Jason Schwartzman. It's the last semester of senior year for roomies Dave (Devon Sawa), Sam (Jason Segel), and Jeff (Michael C. Maronna), a trio of twenty-somethings whose enthusiasm for higher learning is matched only by their enthusiasm for root canals performed without the aid of anesthesia. As such, their entire collegiate existence has been an elaborate series of cons and scams designed to plagiarize essays, skip midterms, and covertly manipulate bell curves. When deranged geek Ethan (Schwartzman) -- who harbors a psychotic fixation for a flaxen-haired co-ed named Angela (James King) -- gets wind of their scheming, he blackmails Dave and the gang into contriving a date between him and his crush. But as Dave cozies up to Angela, he realizes that no amount of scheming can hide the fact that he's the one that's truly in love. Slackers went by a number of working titles while in production at the ill-fated upstart Destination Films; when Destination went belly-up, the film sat on the shelf for over a year before being picked up for release by Sony's Screen Gems division. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

An aspiring ballerina from a wealthy family learns some lessons about both dancing and life from a roughneck with soul in this teen drama. Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum) grew up on the wrong side of the tracks in a rough section of Baltimore, and has been in and out of trouble with the law most of his life. Finding himself before the judge yet again, Tyler is sentenced to 200 hours of community service, and he ends up mopping floors at the Maryland School of the Arts. Tyler catches the eye of Nora (Jenna Dewan), a gifted ballet student who is trying to incorporate hip-hop moves into her classical routines. None of Nora's fellow students seem to be on the same page as her, but Tyler is a talented street dancer with strength, moves, and enthusiasm. Despite the misgivings of the school's administrators, Nora persuades Tyler to team up with her for a major class project. Tyler gains a new self-respect as he gives in to the discipline of the dance academy, but he wonders if this new opportunity means turning his back on who he really is. Matters become all the more complicated when Tyler and Nora realize they're falling in love. Step Up was the first directorial credit for choreographer Anne Fletcher, who designed dance routines for the films Bring It On, She's All That, and Boogie Nights. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A turn down an uncharted dirt road leads six young people into a night of pure terror in this horror story. Chris (Desmond Harrington) is driving through West Virginia on his way to a job interview when an auto accident slows highway traffic to a near standstill. Afraid he'll be late, Chris takes a detour down an old dirt road; a distracted Chris doesn't see an SUV stuck in the middle of the road before it's too late, and he plows into the back after his tires suddenly blow. The driver of the SUV, Jessie (Eliza Dushku), was out on a camping trip with four of her friends -- Evan (Kevin Zegers), Francine (Lindy Booth), Carly (Emmanuelle Chriqui), and Scott (Jeremy Sisto) -- when their tires went out, and as Jessie and Chris compare notes on their accidents, they discover that the road has been sabotaged with barbed wire. With both parties in need of a telephone, Evan and Francine are left to look after the cars while the other four set out to find help. However, Evan and Francine soon discover they've been led into a horrible trap, and as Chris, Jessie, and their friends search for help, they find that they've fallen victim not to local pranksters, but a gang of inbred backwoods killers with a taste for blood. Wrong Turn was produced in part by Stan Winston, a legendary special-effects artist whose work has appeared in such films as Jurassic Park, Aliens, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
