Russell Brand Movies
Something of a Renaissance man in his native Britain -- a performer who divides his time between screen acting, journalism, radio emceeing, and standup comedy --
Russell Brand
trademarked himself via an outlandishly flamboyant, rave-happy persona, sporting the goth-tinged apparel, black mascara, and a bouffant, mile-high hairdo to match. He first entered show business at a tender age, with a portrayal of the gangster Fat Sam in the theatrical version of the kiddie musical Bugsy Malone, then moved into standup comedy, with a series of innumerable appearances on U.K. television (each one underscoring his anarchic image). For a time in the mid- to late 2000s, the press reported that the Channel 4 network was struggling to find the right vehicle to house

made history when he signed as an on-air DJ with BBC 6 Music and helped that station drive its listener count through the roof, and as of 2002 began segueing into acting roles in features.

St. Trinian's
, and as Aldous Snow, an obnoxious British rocker who whisks the lead character's girlfriend away, in the
Judd Apatow
-produced romantic comedy
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
. The movie was a huge hit, and Brand followed it up with a starring role in another comedy, Get Him to the Greek, opposite Jonah Hill in 2010. Brand's would also lend his vocal talents to animated features like 2010's Despicable Me and 2011's Hop. He even payed homage to his British roots with the role of jester Trinculo in Julie Taymor's 2011 adaptation of Shakespeare's The Tempest, opposite a femaile Prospero played by Helen Mirren. The chemistry between the two English stars would sustain for another film as well, as they reteamed for 2011's Arthur.

The immature heir to a billion-dollar empire finds himself cut off from the family fortune after rejecting his arranged marriage to a
nouveau riche
socialite, and instead falling for a free-spirited unlicensed tour guide in this remake of the sentimental 1981 comedy starring Dudley Moore. Arthur (Russell Brand) was raised in the lap of luxury. His family is wealthy beyond compare, and ever since he was a child his every whim has been catered to by his nanny, Hobson (Helen Mirren), and his chauffeur, Bitterman (Luis Guzman). But the party starts to wind down when Arthur's domineering mother (Geraldine James) insists that he marry Susan (Jennifer Garner), the daughter of a self-made millionaire (Nick Nolte) who isn't above intimidating his future son-in-law into marriage. Vehemently opposed to the idea due to the fact that he and Susan have nothing in common, Arthur rejects the proposal after falling in love with Linda (Greta Gerwig), an aspiring children's book author who pays the rent by giving unofficial tours of Grand Central Station. As a result, Arthur has to decide if he can face life as a normal member of the working class -- and without his trusty flask of booze. Television veteran Jason Winer (Modern Family) directs from a script by Peter Baynham (Brüno, Borat). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A mysterious criminal mastermind has stolen one of the pyramids in Egypt, sparking a fit of jealous envy in evil genius Gru (Steve Carell), who hasn't managed to make headlines since he and his minions swiped the Times Square JumboTron years back. Ever since Gru was a little boy, he dreamed of going to the moon. Now, if Gru can just build a rocket and get his hands on a powerful shrink-ray, he can cement his reputation as the greatest thief who ever lived by stealing the Earth's satellite right out of the sky. But immediately after Gru heists the shrink-ray, the cunning super-nerd Vector (Jason Segel) swoops in and snatches it right out of his hands. Now, in order to claim the moon, Gru must first reacquire the weapon from Vector. Armed with the knowledge that his nemesis has a mean sweet tooth, Gru adopts cookie-selling orphans Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Agnes (Elsie Fisher), and Edith (Dana Gaier) and commissions a new line of cookie robots from the evil Dr. Nefario (Russell Brand), his personal weapons specialist. But as Gru and his diminutive yellow minions prepare to carry out the biggest heist in history, something strange happens. Gru discovers that the three little girls who have come into his life are much more than simple pawns. They actually seem to care about Gru, and it turns out the scheming evildoer makes a pretty good father. When Gru realizes that his upcoming moon mission clashes with a ballet performance by the girls, he must decide what's more important -- being a present parent or cementing his nefarious reputation once and for all. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In desperate need of a vacation after being unceremoniously dumped by his TV-star girlfriend, a man travels to a lavish Hawaiian resort to nurse his wounds and forget his heartache, only to discover that his ex and her handsome new boyfriend are currently staying at the exact same island hot spot. Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) may be just another struggling musician, but for the past six years he's been dating Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), one of the hottest stars on television. Sarah is everything in the world to Peter, so when she kindly but firmly tells him that they should each go their separate ways, he is absolutely devastated. Later, after attempting to salvage his ego by awkwardly attempting to become a womanizer and nearly losing his job because of a nervous breakdown, an emotionally fragile Peter attempts to put the past behind him by escaping to the sun-soaked beaches of Oahu. While at first it seems as if Peter has discovered the perfect prescription for a bad case of lost love, his plan soon turns to dust when Sarah and her new rock-star boyfriend, Aldous (Russell Brand), turn up at the exact same resort. Though accepting Sarah's lavish new lifestyle won't be easy for the crestfallen Peter, the laid-back companionship of flirtatious resort employee Rachel (Mila Kunis) -- not to mention a continuous regimen of fruity cocktails -- goes a long way in mending the wounds of a broken heart. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was penned by Segel and produced by Judd Apatow. Fun with Dick and Jane screenwriter Nicholas Stoller makes his directorial debut. The cast also includes Paul Rudd, Bill Hader, Jack McBrayer, and Jonah Hill. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

White Teeth
Originally telecast in the United Kingdom, the two-part miniseries White Teeth was based on Zadie Smith's 2000 bestseller about the perils of cultural assimilation in modern day North London. Taking place in the years 1974 to 1992 and set in the melting-pot community of Willesden Green, the story focuses on three different families. The Jamaican-English Archie Jones (Phil Davis) is a professional envelope-folder, while his wife, Clara (Naomie Harris), is a lapsed Jehovah's Witness. Archie's old army buddy Samad Iqbal (Om Puri) is a Bengalese waiter who hails from Bangladesh, also the home country of his sharp-tongued spouse, Alsana (Archie Panjabi). And the Malfen family, headed by Joyce and Marcus (Geraldine James, Robert Bathurst), are fiercely dedicated charter members of the Keepers of the Eternal and Victorious Islamic Nation (or KEVIN for short). Deftly combining comedy, drama, melodrama, and pathos, the Dickensian interactions and interrelationships among the three families manage to accommodate a variety of dizzying plot convolutions involving disenchanted youngsters, racial prejudice, social pretensions, cult worship, misguided animal activists, a genetically modified mouse, a Nazi war criminal, and a bizarre but brilliant kidnapping scheme. In the United States, White Teeth first aired May 11, 2003, as part of the PBS Masterpiece Theatre anthology. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Butterflies Are Free
The hippie generation made its mark on everything from tie dye t-shirts to modern culture. The peace and free love mantra they professed is being showcased again in Barksdale Theatre at Hanover Tavern's production of The Butterflies are Free.
The bohemian style play takes you into the life of Don Baker, a young blind man who is trying to test his independence by living alone in a studio apartment in New York. A month into his new life he meets his next door neighbor, Jill Tanner, a free-spirited 19-year-old who shies away from any type of commitment. All of the action takes place within a 24-hour period. The first act is lighthearted, a cat-and-mouse sexual sparring between Don and Jill that comes to an abrupt halt when Don's over-protective mother unexpectedly pops in for a visit.
The second act takes a more serious look at all of the relationships on stage. Don's blindness may be viewed as a disability, but it becomes evident that he's not the only one in this triangle that is impaired in some fashion.
Jennifer Martin brings energy to her role as the immature sexually-charged Jill Tanner. She bounces around the stage clothed and half-clothed with confidence and personality. With that said, there are times in the play when she doesn't full capture the scatterbrained – think Goldie Hawn in Laugh-In – side of the character.
Matthew Bloch is especially touching as the blind Don Baker. He plays the character with compassion and realism, never over-stepping his boundaries with the disability. He aptly portrays the tender of Don, who longs for female companionship, as well as the frustration he feels toward his over-bearing mother.
Tamara Johnson takes on Florence Baker's acerbic personality with gusto. Her biting comments are delivered with precision and finesse. She is just as convincing when Florence realizes she has to accept her son's independence. Terry Powers and David Powers have once again created a realistic set that really speaks to the heart of the play. The set is complimented by the lighting of Jay Kniffen.
Butterflies Are Free is an entertaining, playful, boy-meets-girl show that also delivers a couple of thoughtful messages about self-sufficiency. Butterflies Are Free runs through May 14th at Barksdale Theatre at Hanover Tavern.

HEFEI, China (AP) — The wife of a disgraced Chinese politician received a suspended death sentence Monday for the murder of a British businessman, as authorities move to tidy up a huge political scandal ahead of a once-in-a-decade leadership transition this fall.
Gu Kailai's sentencing clears the way for the ruling Communist Party to deal with her husband, Bo Xilai, who was formerly one of China's most prominent politicians before being stripped of his Politburo post in the scandal. Bo has not been directly implicated in the murder of Neil Heywood, but is accused of unspecified grave violations of party discipline.
"They are eager to close the case and move on," said Dali Yang, director of the University of Chicago Center in Beijing.
Gu's suspended sentence will almost certainly be commuted to life in prison after two years, a relatively lenient punishment resulting from her cooperation with investigators and what the court deemed her mental instability at the time of Heywood's death by cyanide poisoning last November.
Family aide Zhang Xiaojun, accused of abetting the murder, was sentenced to nine years, Hefei Intermediate People's Court official Tang Yigan told reporters.
Bo was not called as a witness in the Gu trial and neither the verdict nor the evidence presented made any mention of him. The charges against Gu and Zhang also scrupulously avoided any mention of corruption or abuse of power, serving to shield the party's image from damage.
Four policemen accused of covering up the crime were given sentences from five to 11 years.
State media say Gu, 53, confessed to intentional homicide at a one-day trial held in this eastern China city on Aug. 9. The media reports — the court has been closed to international media — say she and Heywood had a dispute over money and Heywood allegedly threatened her son. State media said the two feuded after Heywood asked for a multi-million dollar commission on a real estate venture that had gone bad.
Gu was accused of luring the victim to a Chongqing hotel, getting him drunk and then pouring cyanide into his mouth.
Tang said Gu and Zhang told the court they would not appeal.
The ruling against Gu will set expectations for Bo to be dealt with severely, said Cheng Li, an expert in Chinese elite politics at the Brookings Institution in Washington.
"If Bo does not get put through the legal process in the next few months, Gu will be seen as a scapegoat," he said.
State broadcaster CCTV showed Gu dressed in a white blouse and black pants suit briefly addressing the court from inside the dock surrounded by waist-high wooden columns.
"This verdict is just. It shows special respect for the law, reality and life," Gu said in calm, measured phrases.
The sentencing moves China one step closer to resolving its biggest political crisis in two decades that exposed divisions within the leadership and threatened to complicate plans for Vice President Xi Jinping to succeed Hu Jintao as top leader at a party congress expected in October.
Questions remain, however, over how the party intends to deal with Bo, who was dismissed in March as the powerful Communist Party boss of the major city of Chongqing and suspended from the 25-member Politburo.
Bo had at one time been considered a candidate for the all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee at the upcoming 18th Communist Party national congress and it isn't clear whether the party will deal with him internally or put him on trial and risk further harm to its image.
The case has for months engrossed ordinary Chinese, among whom Bo remains broadly popular, especially with the working classes drawn by his populist flair and policies such as building affordable housing and cracking down on property developers and others he labeled gangsters. Many have tended to see his downfall as a politically motivated takedown engineered by his party rivals.
"I think it is just a political struggle, it has nothing to do with us ordinary people. The 18th party congress is coming very soon, so it must have something to do with that. I don't really care about it," said a Beijing investment advisor, who would only give his surname, Zhai, because of the sensitivity of the topic.
Tang said the court considered Gu's testimony against others, her confession and repentance, and her psychological impairment as mitigating factors in sentencing. But he said it rejected claims that Heywood's threats had prompted the crime, saying there was no evidence he intended to make good on them.
During Gu's trail, the court was told she had suffered from chronic insomnia, anxiety and depression and paranoia in the past, and that she had been dependent on medication, but it found that she willfully carried out the murder.
An amendment to China's criminal law in 2011 said that criminals with life sentences who show proper conduct can have their life sentences cut to 25 years. Chinese law also allows for medical parole so Gu could be released after serving even less time.
For their part in the cover-up, former deputy Chongqing police chief Guo Weiguo was sentenced to 11 years, leading officer Li Yang was given 11, and officers Wang Pengfei and Wang Zhi were given five years each.
Former Chongqing police chief Wang Lijun, whose February flight to a U.S. consulate revealed suspicions that Heywood had been murdered, is expected to go on trial soon. Gu allegedly told Wang about her crime, but it isn't known if he'll be charged in relation to the murder.
Security was tight outside the court on Monday, with police officers standing guard around the building and at least a half dozen SWAT police vans parked on each corner.
Gu's arrest and the ouster of her husband sparked the biggest political turbulence in China since the bloody crackdown on the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests in 1989.
Lawyers and political analysts said politics appeared to weigh heavily on the verdict, with the verdict on Gu apparently calibrated to assuage demands for justice without being overly harsh. .
Beijing-based rights lawyer Pu Zhiqiang said the outcome ignored legal strictures that would have required the death penalty, given that Gu had admitted to committing premeditated murder. "Although I welcome this verdict, it doesn't actually stand up from a legal standpoint," Pu said.
Peking University law professor He Weifang said political considerations were clearly behind the relative leniency shown to Gu.
"If the murderer was an ordinary person who killed someone, not to mention killing a foreigner, the criminal would be sentenced to immediate execution," He said.

TOKYO (AP) — When Tokyo's nationalist governor suggested buying uninhabited islands at the center of a long-simmering dispute with China, Beijing immediately denounced him and even Japan's government played down the plan, fearing an international firestorm.
Now activists on both sides have put the islands front-and-center in one of the biggest territorial flare-ups between the two Asian giants in years, a collision of the persistent animosities over Japan's imperialist past and the new fears of China's rising economic and military clout.
An unauthorized landing by Japanese activists on a tiny island in what the Japanese call the Senkaku chain — and the Chinese call the Diaoyu — has sparked an outpouring of anger and anti-Japanese protests across China and fueled calls for aggressive government action that some fear could lead to a dangerous escalation of tensions.
Japanese authorities on Monday questioned the 10 Japanese, including Tokyo city assembly members, who swam ashore on the disputed island the day before. News of the landing prompted thousands of Chinese to hold demonstrations in 10 cities, where protesters sang the Chinese national anthem or carried banners demanding Japan give up the islands.
Some vandals targeted Japanese-brand cars.
"Nationalist activists on both sides are working to exploit this issue for their own ends," said Shinji Kojima, a professor emeritus of Chinese history at Tokyo University. "If both governments aren't careful it could lead to a more serious conflict."
The Japan-China tensions are playing out against a backdrop of heightened concern over China's increasingly assertive stance in territorial disputes across the south and east China seas. In July, Beijing announced that a South China Sea military garrison on a remote island was being proclaimed a city, underlining its claims to own the entire, potentially oil-rich region, which is disputed by many of its Southeast Asian neighbors.
Japan's chief Cabinet spokesman, Osamu Fujimura, called this weekend's island landing "regrettable" because it was done without government approval. He also said it was an internal matter and China has no right to complain.
"These islands are our territory," he said.
The landing was the latest in a series of moves by Chinese and Japanese activists since April, when Tokyo's influential governor, Shintaro Ishihara, announced a plan to use public funds to buy several of the isles from a private Japanese citizen whom Japan says has legal ownership.
Within weeks, Tokyo received more than 1 billion yen ($12 million) in donations for the purchase, which is expected to cost between 2 and 3 billion yen.
Ishihara acknowledged the move was largely intended to put pressure on the national government to play a bigger role in the islands' administration. He is now pushing the envelope even further by seeking permission from the central government to send a team of experts there to study development possibilities and environmental issues.
Fujimura on Monday said Japan is considering the proposal, though sending a government-approved mission would likely infuriate Beijing.
The moves by Ishihara have been repeatedly slammed by the Chinese government and media.
Just days before the Japanese group's landing, five Chinese activists went ashore on the island on Aug. 15 — the anniversary of Japan's World War II surrender. The five and nine others were arrested and quickly deported back to Hong Kong.
The islands, also claimed by Taiwan, are important mainly because of their location, which is near key sea lanes. They are surrounded in the East China Sea by rich fishing grounds and as-yet untapped underwater natural resources.
Japan annexed them in 1895, saying no other nation exercised a formal claim. The islands, lying roughly midway between Okinawa and Taiwan, were administered by the United States after World War II until they were returned to Tokyo in 1972.
The conflicting claims have repeatedly flared up in the past, only to quiet down again. Two years ago, relations between China and Japan were soured by the arrest of the captain of a Chinese fishing ship that collided with a Japanese Coast Guard vessel after refusing to leave the region.
By quickly sending the Chinese activists back to Hong Kong, Japan appeared this time to be trying to tamp down the tensions.
China already is at loggerheads with other Asian nations in island disputes.
The Philippines, which claims South China Sea islands close to its main shores, has described as unacceptable Beijing's move last month to establish its new city on a remote island in the sea some 350 kilometers (220 miles) from China's southernmost province. Vietnam called China's move a violation of international law.
The United States, which maintains a large naval presence in the Pacific, has said maintaining freedom of navigation in the sea is in its national interest, a position that has angered China.
The latest tensions come as China's ruling Communist Party prepares for a major leadership transition and leaders in both China and Japan face strong domestic pressure to make a show of get-tough positions on matters of national territory.
Appealing to anti-Japanese sentiment, which is still strong in the countries that suffered under Japan's pre-1945 imperialism, is also often seen as a good way to elicit nationalist support in China and North and South Korea.
Earlier this month, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak visited a disputed island in the Sea of Japan, called Takeshima in Japanese and Dokdo in Korean, that was widely seen as an attempt to play up such sentiment ahead of elections later this year.
AP reporters Scott McDonald in Beijing, Emily Wang on Ishigaki Island and Malcolm Foster in Tokyo contributed to this story.

text: Yep her performance save the show for me. The interaction btw YK and MNC was painful to watch and there only so much fast forwarding my fingers could do . In fact I think most of my favorite parts in the series included her in it (from classic humor ones such as she beating the daylight out of YK literally and her incident with KJ's mom involving the dog beating stick to the memorable farewell goodbye at KJ's mom grave). This show that she is quite multidimensional in her range of acting. As much as I love Ariel as an actress now, I don't think I can tolerate much of TW lovey dovey modern drama so I probably have to pass on both of the ISWAK and TKA. However, if you are a fan of seeing HG and Ariel reunite on screen again, I heard Tian Wai Fei Xian was pretty good and actually was the series that made believers out of a lot of people that she can actually pull off the role of HR.

Presented to: Carol Lynch Williams
For: My Angelica
In the past three years, Carol Lynch Williams published four middle-grade books--three in the national market and one for Mormon readers. Her humor, storytelling ability, facility with language, and courage to consider difficult issues place her at the top of her field.
Her protagonists are generally young women who face a web of serious challenges. Through the course of her experiences the protagonist discovers the power to resist the trouble confronting her.
Christmas in Heaven explores the tension between family and friends as the protagonist's brother is drawn away from himself by an emotionally disturbed girl. Carolina Autumn shows a young woman facing adolescence after losing her father and sister through death and her mother through emotional isolation.
My Angelica, lighter than most of her books, has a male protagonist and deals with the issues of first love and distorted self-concept. Tish, shows a pioneer girl struggling with her grandparent's anger about Mormonism.
Her books embrace the values of the best Mormon literature--respecting each person as a child of God, building solid relationships with friends and family, and progressing toward maturity.

Irish coalition up in the polls with bailout exit rhetoric
In Ireland the Coalition parties got a significant boost according to the latest Irish Times/Ipsos MRBI poll. Fine Gael is up four percentage points and Labour is up three since the last poll in September. The polls show Fine Gael to get 30% (+4pp); Labour 9% (+3pp); Fianna Fáil, 22% (no change); Sinn Féin, 21% (-2pp); and Independents/Others, 18% (-5pp). Satisfaction with the government has also increased sharply, while PM Enda Kenny has the highest rating of any of the party leaders. Their publicity of the bailout programme exit has clearly helped their rise in popularity.

"The people want the implementation of Shariah. Our souls and blood, we sacrifice to Islam."
"Dozens injured in Egypt clashes as police fire tear gas at Morsi supporters and opponents," from NBC News, December 21 (thanks to Kenneth):
ALEXANDRIA, Egypt — Supporters of President Mohammed Morsi and his opponents hurled rocks at each other in Egypt's second city on the eve of a final vote on a new constitution shaped by Islamists.Police fired tear gas as scores of opponents of the constitution and thousands of Islamists hurled rocks across a security cordon separating them near a mosque in Alexandria that was the focus for violence last week.
"God is great," Islamists chanted when the clash began.
The Egyptian Ministry of Health said at least 55 people were injured in the clashes near the al-Qaid Ibrahim mosque in Alexandria, state media reported.
The Islamists had gathered in support of an Islamic vision of Egypt's future a day before a second round of voting in a referendum on the basic law. Opposition supporters had also turned out as worshipers assembled for Friday prayers....
Lines of riot police cordoned off Alexandria's al-Qaid Ibrahim mosque, scene of last week's violence. Islamists chanted pro-Islamic slogans while a smaller group of opponents gathered nearby, chanting against Morsi, propelled to power in a June election by the Muslim Brotherhood.
"The people want the implementation of Shariah," the Islamist sympathizers shouted, in a show of support for Islamic law. "Our souls and blood, we sacrifice to Islam," they shouted.
In one incident, an Islamist filming anti-Morsi protesters was grabbed and roughed up. Islamists on the other side of a security cordon pushed and shoved police trying to reach him.
The opposition, facing defeat in the referendum, has called for a no vote against a document it says is too Islamist and ignores the rights of women and minorities, including the 10 percent of Egyptians who are Christian.

Dubai-Based Fund Loses W Union Square Hotel
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels
What will Istithmar unload next? Two potential targets seem to be Barney's New York which has been rumored to be for sale for a long time. The problem is that no one is willing for pay what Istithmar paid for it ($942 million in 2007) especially at a time when department stores have been going through a deep and painful purge. This year's holiday season could be key for the department store brand. Another target could be the Queen Elizabeth 2, the luxury liner which is supposed to become a floating hotel. Istithmar also owns shares in Yacht Haven Grande, a mega-marina and resort complex in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

VISIA Complexion Analysis uses multi-spectral imaging to reveal damage on and beneath the surface of our skin that is not detectable by visual examination alone. VISIA imaging allows our expert skin care specialists to evaluate your skins' health and appearance based on six criteria that affect your complexion: wrinkles, spots, pores, evenness (skin tone color variation), porphyrins (evidence of bacteria in your pores), and UV spots caused by overexposure to the sun.
VISIA also uses comparative data with other women of the same age and ethnicity to provide additional information about your complexion results. You are given a copy of this report which includes the details of your imaging, recommendations for treatment, and skin care options.
Visage uses VISIA Complexion Analysis to determine a precise and effective rejuvenation regimen for your specific needs. Whether your optimal plan of action includes ThermaFraxsm treatments, a Titan Laser Treatment or simply BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments, VISIA Complexion Analysis will pinpoint areas and levels of damage to prevent excess or erroneous treatments. VISIA also allows our professionals to prescribe home skin care regimens that can enhance your skin's health and vitality on a daily and weekly basis for maintaining a beautiful and lasting complexion.
Physician Consultation
First, one of our board-certified physicians will sit down and find out your personal preferences and areas of concern. Coupled with the VISIA Complexion Analysis, together we'll explore the best, most advantageous approach for you. We'll set out a strategic plan and move forward in the most efficacious and prudent direction.

Westchester committee hopes to spur business development
WESTCHESTER – Facelifts for storefront facades is one of three projects the village's Economic Development Committee is planning to help local businesses and attract new ones.
The committee is also developing plans to plant more trees throughout the village and erect more signs that tell drivers and pedestrians they are in Westchester.
"Because we have so very few actual intersections that are 100 percent [owned by] Westchester, we're trying to figure out creative ways to identity corridors to put up our signage," said Joe Mills, Economic Development Committee chair.

Clueless [Blu-Ray]
Director : Amy Heckerling
Screenplay : Amy Heckerling
MPAA Rating : PG-13
Year of Release : 1995
Stars : Alicia Silverstone (Cher Horowitz), Paul Rudd (Josh Lucas), Brittany Murphy (Tai Fraiser), Stacey Dash (Dionne Davenport), Donald Faison (Murray Duvall), Dan Hedaya (Mel Horowitz), Breckin Meyer (Travis Birkenstock), Justin Walker (Christian Stovitz), Wallace Shawn (Mr. Hall), Jeremy Sisto (Elton Tiscia), Twink Caplan (Miss Geist)
Amy Heckerling's Clueless offers some of the best humor, entertainment, and social insight the teen comedy genre has to offer. And, while that may sound like damning praise, I do not hesitate to suggest that the teen comedy is one of the most unfairly maligned and underappreciated genres in Hollywood if only because, like the similarly dismissed horror genre, so many of them are done so badly—without any wit, cleverness, and, most of all, humanity. The albatross of many teen comedies is that their makers have no respect for their characters, which makes them hard to care about. While Clueless gets plenty of laughs at the expense of its characters, it never looks down on them or its audience, for that matter.
Heckerling made her name in the early 1980s as a rare female director working in Hollywood. Her breakout hit was Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), an uneven, but frequently hilarious and incisive teen comedy that set the bar for those that followed. Heckerling's own career after that was extremely uneven, as her high-profile comedies Johnny Dangerously (1984) and National Lampoon's European Vacation (1985) did moderate box office, but were generally panned by critics. A few years later she hit a box-office bulls-eye with Look Who's Talking, an amusing, but thin comedy in which the world is viewed through the eyes of a baby who thinks with Bruce Willis' voice. A pointless sequel followed, also directed by Heckerling.
Those who saw a great deal of originality and playfully subversive potential in Heckerling at the beginnings of her career were disappointed to see her heading more and more toward the middle, which is why Clueless was such a refreshing change of pace. While it marked her return to the teen comedy genre where she had initially made her mark, her approach to the material was fresh and inventive enough that the film transcended comparisons to Fast Times.
In Clueless Heckerling took the basic plot of Jane Austen's Emma and fashioned an updated social comedy set in the slightly surreal and clearly exaggerated world of pampered Beverly Hills teenagers. While some of her visual gags have come to full fruition (and beyond) in the years since the film's theatrical release (teens walking around the school halls with cell phones seemingly glued to their ears), some of her more outlandish imagery, such as half the female school population having their surgically altered noses protected by splints, remains in the realm of hyperbole—if only barely.
Heckerling's heroine is Cher (Alicia Silverstone), whose main goals in life are to look fabulous and meddle in other people's affairs for their betterment. Her various "projects" include her frumpy debate teacher, Mr. Hall (Wallace Shawn), whom she gets together with her absent-minded environmental studies teacher, Miss Geist (Twink Caplan, one of the film's producers). Her biggest challenge is the clueless new student, Tai (Brittany Murphy), who has been displaced from New Jersey and has no sense of style. Cher and her best friend Dionne (Stacey Dash) change all that, but all the while Cher remains utterly oblivious to her own happiness. (How strange it is for a teen movie to be about a character who is constantly thinking about others and is genuinely interested in discovering what "doing good" really is, even if she doesn't always do it.)
Cher narrates the movie in a tone that is consistently comical, yet strangely intimate. One of Heckerling's masterstrokes is to take a character who would otherwise be the rich-bitch teen queen villainess and turn her into the movie's misunderstood heroine. Cher's relentless self-absorption is somehow twisted into a remarkable sense of introspection. It's testament to both Heckerling's clever writing and Silverstone's first-rate, completely assured performance that Cher transcends the clichés of her character and becomes a genuinely sympathetic person for whom we root for even though, by any stretch of the imagination, she already has it all.
While the surface of Clueless is broadly entertaining, there are a number of things about it that set it apart from so many other movies of its ilk. In many ways, it is a playfully subversive riff on the "teen sex film," a label applied by film scholar Robin Wood to the glut of teenage movies that filled cinemas throughout the 1980s (Fast Times being one of the exemplars). For example, while sex is certainly a topic of conversation in Clueless (despite her beauty and desirability, Cher is a virgin who is saving herself for the right guy—another narrative anomaly), it by no means dominates the story. There is also the inclusion of a gay teen character (Justin Walker), which is particularly rare. And, because all the main characters are girls, the film doesn't fall into the hunter/hunted dichotomy that privileges the male point of view and, by proxy, tends to reduce female characters to objects to be won (a trait typical of many teen films in varying degrees, from The Last American Virgin, to Porky's, to American Pie).
Lastly, while most teen movies either repress parents completely or turn them into comical buffoons, Clueless derives some of its most emotionally endearing moments from scenes between Cher and her tough-talking, but soft-hearted litigator lawyer father (Dan Hedaya). To everyone else, he is someone to be feared, but Cher just sees him as "Daddy." And, while this does infantilize Cher to a certain extent, it is made clear numerous times that he needs her as much as she needs him (she is constantly trying to get him to eat healthy, take his vitamins, not work so hard, etc.).
All of this genre subversiveness is never made awkwardly overt; rather, it exists just below the movie's candy-colored surface, which is textured with outlandish couture, beautiful homes, chatty Valley speak, and something that is missing far too often in teen films: a sneaky love of life. Clueless never takes itself seriously, especially with its exaggerated tone and visuals, yet it has some real insight into both teen life and human nature in general. In other words, it's everything you should expect a good teen comedy to be.

Release Date | May 1, 2012 |
The Blu-Ray edition of Clueless offers a nice improvement over the previously available DVD from 2005. The 1080p/AVC-encoded transfers offers a solid presentation of the film, with strong color saturation without bleeding (important for a gaudy visual treat like this, with all the radiant primary reds, yellows, and greens) and no signs of damage or dirt. Detail is crisp and clear without looking unnaturally sharp. The lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround soundtrack does a nice job of showing off the movie's eclectic soundtrack of mid-'90s pop and alternative rock tunes. | |
All of the supplements included on the Blu-Ray were previously available on the 2005 "Whatever! Edition" DVD. The disc includes a bunch of retrospective featurettes that look back on the film's production, reception, and surprising longevity with circa-2005 and circa-1995 interviews with all the principals, including writer/director Amy Heckerling, coproducer Twink Caplan, and stars Alicia Silverstone, Brittany Murphy, Paul Rudd, Wallace Shawn, Breckin Meyer, Dan Hedaya, Donald Faison, Stacey Dash, and Justin Walker. There are seven featurettes total. "The Class of '95" is one of the best, as it focuses on the young stars, all of whom were mostly unknowns at the time (no one had ever heard of Murphy, and Silverstone was known primarily as the Aerosmith video girl). "Creative Writing," which looks at how Heckerling penned the script is also quite good, as is "Language Arts," which amusingly explores the film's clever lingo. Some of the featuettes, such as "Suck 'N Blow: A Tutorial," which is exactly what it sounds like, are a bit silly, but it's par for the course. |

By Jacqueline Minichiello, M.S. Over the years, carbohydrates have gotten a bad reputation. Diets such as Atkins and South Beach promote easy, rapid weight loss that can be very attractive to someone trying to lose weight. By restricting the amounts of carbohydrate that you eat, these diets claim that you can turn your body into a fat-burning machine. When you limit carbohydrates, however, you deprive your body of a main source of fuel — and many essential nutrients that you need to stay healthy. What are carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are foods that get converted into glucose, or sugar, in our bodies during digestion. Glucose is a main source of fuel for our body. It is especially important for the brain, which cannot easily use other fuel sources (such as fat or protein) for energy. There are two kinds of carbohydrates:
Are all carbohydrates created equal? All carbohydrates turn into glucose and raise our blood sugar. But some do it faster than others. Controlling blood glucose is important for weight management as well as diabetes control. Fiber is important for your digestive health as well as regulating blood glucose. Foods with fiber — such as broccoli, beans, and apples with the skin, 100% whole-wheat bread — take longer to be digested. This means that glucose is released into the bloodstream slowly. Refined carbohydrates, such as white rice and white pasta, have had their fiber and nutrients removed. Whole grains, such as brown rice and whole-wheat pasta, have not. Therefore, the glucose from refined carbohydrates can get into the bloodstream faster than the glucose from whole grains. Fruits also contain fiber. The sugar from a piece of fruit does not affect blood glucose the same way fruit juice would. Which nutrients am I missing if I cut out whole grains and fruit from my diet? The nutrients found in whole grains include essential fatty acids, the B vitamins, folate, vitamin E, zinc and magnesium. Whole grains also have fiber. Fruit and starchy vegetables contain many vitamins and minerals, as well as phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are plant compounds that help prevent disease in humans. Phytonutrients include carotenoids and flavonoids. What does my body use for fuel if I am not getting enough carbohydrates? If you are not getting enough carbohydrates from your diet, then your body must use fat and protein for energy. This is why the carbohydrate-restricted diets claim they are great for weight loss. However, neither protein nor fat is an efficient source of energy.
Which carbohydrates should I eat?
What about portion size? It's important to include carbohydrates in your diet. But to avoid weight gain, pay attention to portion size. Try to limit the amount of carbohydrates, such as potatoes, peas, butternut squash, rice or pasta, to a quarter of your plate (about 1 cup). Be mindful of carbohydrate snacks, such as chips, cookies, crackers and donuts. What are some different whole grains to try? Here are some suggestions:
The Bottom Line Carbohydrates are a major source of fuel and nutrients for our bodies. They should be part of a healthy diet, even when the goal is to lose weight. When adding carbohydrates, pay attention to portion size, choose whole fruits and make it a whole grain! Jacqueline Minichiello, M.S., is a dietetic intern at Brigham and Women's Hospital. She graduated with a B.S. in Psychobiology from Binghamton University and an M.S. in Biochemical and Molecular Nutrition from Tufts University. She completed her D.P.D. program at Simmons College.

text: SMEX02 Soil Moisture Atmosphere Coupling Experiment (SMACEX), IowaThis data set contains measurements collected from flights conducted in June and July 2002 over the Walnut Creek watershed in central Iowa, USA. The study was part of the Soil Moisture Experiment 2002 (SMEX02) and the Soil Moisture-Atmosphere Coupling Experiment (SMACEX), run by Canada's National Research Council (NRC). The aircraft carried numerous sensors, and flew several flights per day along six tracks in the watershed area. Parameters for this data set include air pressure and temperature, dew point and radiometric temperature, greenness index, net radiation, CO2 concentration, wind direction and speed, heat flux, and ozone flux. These data were collected as part of a validation study for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR-E). AMSR-E is a mission instrument launched aboard NASA's Aqua Satellite on 04 May 2002. AMSR-E validation studies linked to SMEX are designed to evaluate the accuracy of AMSR-E soil moisture data. Specific validation objectives include assessing and refining soil moisture algorithm performance; verifying soil moisture estimation accuracy; investigating the effects of vegetation, surface temperature, topography, and soil texture on soil moisture accuracy; and determining the regions that are useful for AMSR-E soil moisture measurements.

Reviews for Moist Pumpkin Scones(20)
Sort By :
I thought they tasted very good, but the batter was very sticky. Had to flour my knife and my board several times so it/they wouldn't stick. They puffed up very nicely, so think the next time I make them, will make the circles a little larger.
Love this for all the reasons everyone else says! Bake half the batch and save the other half in the freezer to bake fresh another day.
These were delicious! My kids asked for them for days after I baked them. They are not as dry as most scones.
I made this recipe exactly as written and I love it! The scones are great without the glaze, but even better with it. I definitely plan to make this recipe again! Although next time I'd cut the glaze recipe in half as I had quite a bit leftover.
These were indeed wonderful - especially with coffee. I tried equal parts whole wheat and regular flour as suggested by lgranado (10/17/10) and they still retained the moist texture.
