Henry Holland originally made the style too big for Ikhyd, but now that the kiddo is five months old, it finally fits! After all, mum had to fit in Agyness Deyn's runway sample for her performance, so it seems everyone just has to be flexible with size.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
Director : Samuel Bayer
Screenplay : Wesley Strick and Eric Heisserer (story byWesley Strick; based on characters created by Wes Craven)
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 2010
Stars : Jackie Earle Haley (Freddy Krueger), Kyle Gallner (Quentin Smith), Rooney Mara (Nancy Holbrook), Katie Cassidy (Kris Fowles), Thomas Dekker (Jesse Braun), Kellan Lutz (Dean Russell), Clancy Brown (Alan Smith), Connie Britton (Dr. Gwen Holbrook), Lia Mortensen (Nora Fowles), Julianna Damm (Little Kris), Christian Stolte (Jesse's Father)
Having already remade virtually all of the most venerable horror franchises of the 1970s and 1980s, Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes production company has finally turned its attention to Wes Craven's innovative horror-fantasy hybrid A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), which has remained untouched at this point most likely because, unlike the masked hulks of the Halloween and Friday the 13th series, Nightmare's cackling slasher Freddy Krueger is a distinct personality completely associated with actor Robert Englund, who played him in eight movies. Englund, however, was not invited to the remake party, and has been instead replaced with Jackie Earle Haley, who, after playing a tortured pedophile in Little Children (2006) and the tortured superhero Rorschach in Watchmen (2009), has become the go-to actor for tortured characters, which, interestingly enough, Freddy Krueger has never been. However horribly burned and scarred he may be, Freddy has always been a gleefully wicked villain, one who revels and basks in his villainy; while Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees are driven by psychosexual impulses to silently hack and slash their way through teenagerdom, Freddy does it because it fulfills his own warped sense of justice and brings him pleasure, something he isn't afraid to express.
Whether purposefully or not, Jackie Earle Haley's reinterpretation of the razor-fingered man in the dirty fedora and red-and-green sweater is quite different from Englund's (and not just in his make-up design, which gives him a strangely feline appearance). Despite a few quips here and there, Haley's Freddy is a much more glum villain, going about his bloody work with a definite sense of purpose, but no real élan. In Craven's original A Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy was kept largely in the shadows and had a much darker and more vile sensibility than the camp character he devolved into in the sequels, and that is clearly what Haley and director Samuel Bayer, a music video veteran best known for Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," are aiming for. However, what they fail to capture is Craven's clever and unnerving mixture of horror and humor, which is what made his film so instantly memorable and scary. Bayer's take on the material emphasizes the darkness, but almost to a fault; his movie is more morose than scary.
Part of this is due to the teen characters Freddy is terrorizing in their dreams. One of the strengths of Craven's original was his community of bright, interesting teenagers who displayed thoughts, ideas, and a sense of morality. The new victims have none of those qualities. They're prettier and dress better and live in nicer houses, but they're a sad-sack group of tormented souls who are so despondent and depressed from the get-go that it would seem like a visit from Freddy in their dreams might offer a jolt of welcome energy. Watching them become further sleep deprived and desperate doesn't have the same effect as in the original because we never saw them happy and care-free to begin with; it's like they've always been strung-out and on edge. This is particularly true of Nancy, who, as played by Heather Langenkamp in the original, was one of the most resourceful and spunky of the '80s Final Girls; here she is a glum, dark-eyed, moody soul played by Rooney Mara. Her Final Girl duties are split with Kyle Gallner's Quentin Smith, a similarly moody soul who has the advantage of ADD medication to help keep him awake.
Screenwriters Wesley Strick (Cape Fear, Doom) and Eric Heisserer (who penned the upcoming remake of The Thing) clearly did not want to simply retread Craven's territory. While they borrow a few choice images from the original (including Freddy's face and hands pressing through a wall above a victim's bed, which was done beautifully a quarter-century ago with clever lighting and a rubber wall, but is now done with lousy, over-the-top digital effects that ruin the illusion), they otherwise forge their own path by attempting to turn the story into a quasi-mystery in which Nancy and Quentin attempt to discover Freddy's dark past and why he now haunts their dreams (Strick and Heisserer toy with some interesting psychoanalytic concepts, particularly repression, but it all turns out to be a red herring jettisoned in favor of general non-explanations).
Focusing on Freddy's past was an interesting idea to give the story some unique narrative momentum, but it also involves a number of strange decisions, particularly altering Freddy's backstory from being a child murderer to a garden-variety pedophile. Pedophilia was certainly hinted at in the original, but the emphasis was on Freddy's murderous tendencies, hence the creation of the bladed glove. Now he is just a pathetic basement dweller with a thing for preschoolers, which both increases the ick factor tenfold and also undermines the connection between Freddy in real life and Freddy in the dreamworld. Ultimately, it is not that this new version of A Nightmare on Elm Street is particularly bad; in fact, there are numerous moments that work quite well. But, you still can't help but feel at the end that its primary effect is to leave you less thrilled than simply asking what's the point in remaking something if you can't improve on the original?

Danny's Car Wash Immigration Raids
Sixteen Danny's Car Washes were raided by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents over the weekend. That occurred after a two-year investigation which alleges the company hired back many of the 900 employees they fired two years ago following a federal audit that revealed those workers were in the country illegally. The 78-count indictment alleges document fraud and i.d. theft, and targeted managers of the company. That is different than previous raids conducted by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, which targeted workers. Here to talk about the raids is immigration attorney Liz Chatham, who is also the Arizona Chapter Chair of the American Immigration Lawyers Association.

Arizona's Border Crisis: A HORIZON Specia
In 1994, the federal government implemented a new plan that focused on deterrence and arrest along our nation's 1,940-mile U.S.-Mexico border. These strategies curtailed illegal alien flow through El Paso, San Diego and other traditional areas, but created a funnel into Arizona. Since then, the illegal population in the U.S. has increased to nearly 10 million people. Horizon takes a trip to the Arizona-Mexico border for a first-hand look at why illegal immigration has been pushed into our state. Senator Jon Kyl joins Michael Grant for an in-studio discussion.

MANCHESTER— A man described by neighbors as the loving, patient father of a young boy was arrested Wednesday and charged with the stabbing death of his wife.
John Hogarty, 53, was charged with first-degree murder in the death of Michelle Hogarty, homicide prosecutors announced early Wednesday night.
The homicide took place at Hogarty's home at 316 Mammoth Road, Unit 1, authorities said.
According to neighbor Jeffrey Luebkert, about eight or nine police officers arrived about 5 a.m. with guns drawn.
They walked up the front steps yelling "put your hands up."
The charge followed hours of anticipation as police secured the scene and spent the day doing a crime-scene investigation.
"It just breaks my heart," said Suzanne Luebkert. She said she saw police lead her neighbor, the father of a 6-year-old boy, out of the home in handcuffs between 4:30 and 5:30 a.m. Wednesday.
At his arraignment Thursday morning in 9th Circuit Court, Manchester District Division, Hogarty said little except to answer yes to Judge Gregory Michael's questions about paperwork.
Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell said Hogarty worked as a mechanic for a Subaru dealership in Milford, and Michelle Hogarty worked part-time at Hannaford supermarket on Hanover Street in Manchester. Workers at the store today said she was a cashier who worked one day a week but hasn't worked there in awhile.
Defense attorney John Newman asked at today's hearing that documents in the case be unsealed so he could prepare for a probable cause hearing scheduled for May 14, but Morrell objected, saying investigators needed to protect the integrity of the case. Judge Michael took the matter under advisement.
The complaint alleged that Hogarty stabbed his wife sometime between April 30 and May 1.
In court today, family members attending the hearing refused to comment to a reporter.
Morrell would not say when police took Hogarty into custody.
Nor would she answer questions about whether a child was in the house overnight Tuesday, or the whereabouts of the child after the killing.
"I don't want to comment on his status at all," she said.
Morrell returned to the home with police from the critical incident response unit about 7:45 p.m. Wednesday, where the blue, two-unit home remained cordoned off with yellow police tape.
Just inside the tape, someone left two bouquets of flowers in the grass in front of the home where Jeff Leubkert said he often saw John Hogarty playing with his son.
"I saw nothing that would lead me to believe he had any anger issues," Jeff Leubkert said. "He seemed to be a good father."
Luebkert said police removed the boy shortly after taking his father away. The boy appeared bewildered but was uninjured, she said.
Throughout the day, Manchester police stood outside the house, which was sealed off by crime scene tape.
"This will be an active investigation for quite a period of time," Morrell said.
In a statement issued early Wednesday night, authorities said police responded to a 911 call for service at the home at 4:54 a.m. Wednesday. Hogarty was officially charged with the crime Wednesday afternoon, Morrell said.
Luebkert said her neighbor played with his son outside every day. She hadn't seen the mother recently, but when the child was younger the mother sat on the steps and watched him play, Luebkert said.
Hogarty was always good with the little boy, she said.
"He had the patience of a saint. He is just a phenomenal father, always loving. No matter which way you look at it, it's a tragedy. God bless that little boy," she said.
Hogarty is being held without bail at the Valley Street Jail.
The state Medical Examiner's Office was expected to perform an autopsy Thursday morning.
Anyone with information about the crime should contact Manchester police detectives, authorities said.
New Hampshire Union Leader reporters Mark Hayward and Tim Buckland contributed to this report.
