Six secrets to maximize employee value during a mergerEvery merger or acquisition brings challenges of integration, especially when it involves combining two workforces. For many employees, the announcement of a merger brings about feelings of fear and anxiety. It's up to those in charge of the merger to look out for the teams of people coming from different companies, who will now be working side by side. David Braun 0 |
Four lessons best learned early in your HR careerAs the CEO of an executive search firm for the past 10 years, I've dealt with both public and private organizations hiring all levels of job seekers throughout the United States. Whether it be in-house or third party recruiting, here are some of the lessons that the most effective professionals learn sooner rather than later. Ken Sundheim 0 |
The Ultimate Guide to Employee ReferralsOK, so you're about to be very short-staffed, and recruiting is a challenge even when you're not trying to keep up with large-scale generational turnover. You need to hire some people, fast. But you can't afford to spend a lot of money. And you need them to start right away. Oh, and they have to be quality candidates. Who won't leave in six months. What are you going to do? Download this complimentary E-Book to find out. Achievers |
Prioritize your people to achieveWithout an operationalized approach to maximize their employees' success, managers often deliver ad hoc recognition that may not be meaningful, is not accurately tracked, and does not serve to provide a consistent and unified employee experience. Organizations can also miss out on the cost savings and compliance benefits that come with standardizing recognition. Leading professional services firms know that client satisfaction will suffer if employees aren't taken care of. As these firms rethink how they engage employees, they need a means to improve the employee experience. Centralized recognition is the linchpin you need to directly affect engagement, performance, customer satisfaction, and profitability. Download this complimentary whitepaper to find out more.

Tips and tricks for finding top talent on LinkedInThe number of people seeking work in the U.S. is the lowest it's been in 35 years. Finding top talent in this limited job market is tough, but employers can succeed by tailoring their recruitment practices. Lisa Brown Morton 0 |
Letting Employees Hire the BossAside from the interpersonal tension that an of imbalance of power can produce, the manager/employee power relationship isn't optimal from a business standpoint either. In the end, decision-making should be based not on who has the highest rank and most authority, but who has the best information and greatest knowledge about the subject at hand Les Landes 1 |
Employee Rights at a StartupAs a human resource professional at a new business, you are in the unique position of being able to shape company policies. Your actions and performance will have a direct impact on the development and success of the new business. Nik Donovic 0 |
The intersection of recognition with recruitment and retentionWhen we, as human resource professionals and companies more broadly, spend time and money to recruit the best and train them to be even better — we expect them to stay. We need them to stay. So why does retention continue to be an issue after a thorough screening during the recruitment process and exceptional training after an employee gets on the job? Tina Weede 0 |
How CHROs Deliver Business ImpactTalent. Everyone knows that it can give your organization a competitive edge. But whose job is it? Does it belong to the CEO? Or to HR? The answer is both. The responsibility for talent is not a chicken-or-egg question of who comes first. Instead, it is a carefully choreographed dance in which the C-suite and HR are partners in developing talent excellence and business success. SuccessFactors |

"[...] Grimes and legendary drummer Rashied Ali act as a tag team during these live performances culled from Columbia University's WKCR radio station studio in 2007.
What might be considered a bold move, given the scanty bass and drums format, the duo separates the boys from the men via the polyrhythmic flows featuring emotive voicings and changeable parameters. On these four works, Ali often peppers and weaves around Grimes' fluid bowed bass and violin voicings. In effect, the musicians convey great depth whether it's Grimes executing furiously-paced walking notes, contrasted by Ali's radiant cymbal swashes, or when they delve inward for the quieter moments.
Grimes renders spoken word on the brief interlude "Easternal Mysticism, Virtue and Calm," where his lower register lines counter Ali's jab and sparring maneuvers. This is followed by their hyper-mode "Gone Beyond The Gate, which is largely about brisk, speedy pulses that offer lucid imagery of a perilous car chase.
The duo generates an abundance of scrappy workouts amid an amalgamation of explorative exchanges throughout the preponderance of this vibrant and curiously interesting set. No doubt, only a select few could pull this off. It's a marvel of inventiveness, sparked by the artists streaming creative juices and synergistic interplay."-Glenn Astarita, All About Jazz

August 27 , 2012 by: ASRM Office of Public Affairs Published in ASRM Bulletin Volume 14, Number 48
This morning, a three judge Federal Appeals Court panel unanimously affirmed a lower court decision in Sherley v. Sebelius, allowing NIH funding of human embryonic stem cell research to continue.
The plaintiffs contended that the language in the Dickey-Wicker amendment (an annual add-on to federal budget legislation) barring the federal funding of embryo research also banned human embryonic stem cell research. A lower court had ruled the language was ambiguous and that the Obama administration's interpretation was reasonable.
The plaintiffs have 45 days to petition for rehearing by the full Appeals Court. They may also appeal directly to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Jude Law Movies
Although he first appeared as just one of the latest crop of golden-skinned English imports to caress the hormones of American filmgoers,
Jude Law
is steadily proving that his talents lie beyond his ability to smolder seductively in front of the camera. Since 1995, when
made the transition from British soap opera to Broadway via
Sean Mathias
' Indiscretions (in which he co-starred with
Kathleen Turner
), his work has increasingly garnered favorable notice from critics and moviegoers alike.
Born in London on December 29, 1972,
started acting as a teenager. Before Indiscretions, his most notable role was in
(1994), a British production that gave him both initial recognition and an introduction to his future wife, actress
Sadie Frost
(the couple has two children). After the critical and commercial success of Indiscretions,
began finding more work in film, starring as
Claire Danes
' boyfriend in
I Love You, I Love You Not
(1997) and as the genetically privileged man who sells his identity to
Ethan Hawke
(1997). Also in 1997,
took on the plum role of Alfred Lord Douglas (or Bosie),
Oscar Wilde
's volatile lover in
. Although none of these films received unanimously positive critical (or box-office) attention, they did help to further establish
as an actor to be taken seriously.
followed them with a small part in
(1997) and the more pivotal role of Billy, Jim Williams' hotheaded and ill-fated lover in
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
(1997). Following that film,
went on to make a few smaller films, including
Music From Another Room
(also starring a still unknown
Gretchen Mol
) and
The Final Cut
, in which he played a sinister, deceased version of himself.
In 1999,
appeared in
David Cronenberg
's cyberific
and completed filming
Anthony Minghella
The Talented Mr. Ripley
Gwyneth Paltrow
Matt Damon
, and
Cate Blanchett
. The film earned widespread acclaim upon its release, much of which was lavished on
's portrayal of the serially charming and devastatingly superficial Dickie Greenleaf.
garnered both a Golden Globe and Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his performance, further cementing his reputation as one of the more promising up-and-coming actors on either side of the ocean.
After a turn as a Russian marksman facing off against a Nazi sniper in
Enemy at the Gates
returned to sci-fi with his role as love machine Gigolo Joe in
Steven Spielberg
's eagerly anticipated
In addition to his acting commitments,
kept busy with Natural Nylon, the production company he founded with
Sadie Frost
Sean Pertwee
Ewan McGregor
, and
Jonny Lee Miller
. In 2002,
starred alongside film veterans
Tom Hanks
Paul Newman
in the multiple Oscar-winning
Road to Perdition
and was on the path to an Oscar once again for his performance in
Cold Mountain
(2003) with
Nicole Kidman
Renée Zellweger
, who took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
After appearing in only two films in as many years,
was virtually unavoidable in the last third of 2004, with substantial roles in a grand total of six films. First up, he played the title role in the blue-screened sci-fi action flick
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
, starring alongside the likes of
Gwyneth Paltrow
Angelina Jolie
, and a "resurrected"
Laurence Olivier
. A month later, he could be found starring in the remake of
as well as in the ensemble cast of
David O. Russell
's comedy
I Heart Huckabees
. And before the close of the year, audiences could catch him in
Mike Nichols
' romantic drama
, as
Errol Flynn
Martin Scorsese
Howard Hughes
The Aviator
, and providing the voice of the title character in the big-screen adaptation of
Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events
. Produced on an elephantine, effects-heavy budget by the wunderkind, billon-dollar powerhouse Scott Rudin (The Firm, Sister Act) and starring Jim Carrey, the film opened in December 2004 and received average to positive notices; such commentators as Newsweek's Sean Smith, The Washington Post's Desson Thomson, and others championed it (one referred to it as "a Tim Burton movie without the weird shafts of adolescent pain"); others were nonplussed. Roger Ebert complained, "It's odd, how the movie's gloom and doom are amusing at first, and then dampen down the humor. Although many Unfortunate Events do indeed occur in "Lemony Snicket," they cannot be called exciting because everyone is rather depressed by them." The picture nevertheless did excellent box office.
- a remake of the 1966 Michael Caine vehicle, with
taking over the Caine role - didn't fare so well with critics but performed adequately at the box.
ducked out of films for a year or so between 2004 and 2005, which led Variety to ask, "Where in the world is
Jude Law
?" The actor apparently needed a vacation, but his absence was short lived:
ended his sabbatical after a year or so, and triumphantly returns to cinemas in 2006. In All the King's Men,
plays second-string fiddle to an over-the-top Sean Penn. A political tale adapted from Robert Penn Warren's novel by Schindler's List scribe Steven Zaillian (who also directs), the movie weaves the tale of a Huey Long-like southern demagogue (Penn). The film will hit cinemas across the U.S. in September '06.
is also re-teaming with his
Cold Mountain
Anthony Minghella
, in Breaking & Entering. Over the next several years, Law would enjoy his status as a leading man, appearing in a number of films like the Sherlock Holmes franchise, Hugo, and Contagion. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Martin Scorsese's adaptation of Brian Selznick's award-winning novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret stars Asa Butterfield, as an orphan boy who lives in a Parisian train station. Sent to live with his drunken uncle after his father's death in a fire, Hugo learned how to wind the massive clocks that run throughout the station. When the uncle disappears one day, Hugo decides to maintain the clocks on his own, hoping nobody will catch on to him squatting in the station.
His natural aptitude for engineering leads him to steal gears, tools, and other items from a toy-shop owner who maintains a storefront in the station. Hugo needs these purloined pieces in order to rebuild a mechanical man that was left in the father's care at the museum -- the restoration was a project father and son did together.
When Georges (Ben Kingsley), the old man who runs the toy stand, catches on to the thievery, he threatens to turn Hugo over to the station's lone police officer (Sacha Baron Cohen, who makes every effort to send any parentless child in the station to the orphanage. But Hugo's run-in with Georges leads to a friendship with the elderly gentleman's goddaughter, Isabelle (Chloe Grace Moretz), who unknowingly possesses the last item Hugo needs to make the mechanical man work again.

Set in the present day, director Terry Gilliam's fantastical morality tale follows the traveling show of the mysterious Dr. Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) -- a man who once won a bet with the Devil himself, and possesses the unique ability to guide the imagination of others. Many centuries ago, Dr. Parnassus won immortality in a bet that found the malevolent Mr. Nick (Tom Waits) coming up short. While few would be foolish enough to try their luck against the powers of darkness a second time, Dr. Parnassus did precisely that -- this time trading his mortality for youth on the understanding that his firstborn would become the property of Mr. Nick when the child reaches his or her 16th birthday.
Flash-forward to the present day, and Dr. Parnassus' daughter, Valentina (Lily Cole), is about to celebrate her sweet sixteen. Dr. Parnassus is desperate to save his little girl from her fiery fate, so when Mr. Nick arrives to collect, he senses the good doctor's malaise and cooks up a wager too enticing to refuse: Dr. Parnassus and Mr. Nick will each compete to seduce five souls, with possession of Valentina going to whoever manages to complete the task first. As the competition begins to heat up, a mysterious man named Tony (Heath Ledger) appears. Could Tony be the one man capable of helping Dr. Parnassus win the competition and save Valentina? While the sudden death of prominent Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus player Heath Ledger in January of 2008 left Gilliam and company scrambling to find a means of salvaging the film -- which was already well into principal photography at the time -- the cavalry soon arrived in the form of Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell, who each serve as alternate-dimension versions of Tony when the character crosses through a paranormal mirror. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In order to support herself on her journey, Elizabeth picks up a series of waitress jobs along the way. As Elizabeth crosses paths with a series of lost souls whose yearnings are even greater than her own -- including a troubled cop (David Strathairn), his estranged wife (Rachel Weisz), and an embittered gambler (Natalie Portman) -- their emotional turmoil ultimately helps her gain a greater understanding of her own problems. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The legacy of a populist Southern politician whose lofty ambitions for the future leave him open to corruption and scandal is detailed as author Robert Penn Warren's thinly veiled portrait of Depression-era Louisiana governor Huey Long comes to the screen -- again -- this time courtesy of director and screenwriter Steven Zaillian. Willie Stark (Sean Penn) is a man of the people, and for the people; at least that's what he tells the people. Propelled into a race for governor by opposing forces looking to split the "hick vote," Stark is convinced by a handler -- as well as by young journalist Jack Burden (Jude Law) -- to not kowtow to the powers that be. His rhetoric grows fiery, and he makes his way into office on a not-so-solid foundation of social-service promises. When idealism gives way to the harsh realities of the time, however, the fast-talking politico is quick to discover just how far one can fall when ambition and power lead to a betrayal of one's original motivations. Kate Winslet, Patricia Clarkson, James Gandolfini, Mark Ruffalo, and Anthony Hopkins round out an all-star cast in this second version of Warren's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1947 novel; the first won a parade of Oscars after its release in 1949. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A petty thief is the link between a well-to-do businessman and a single mother struggling to get by in his edgy, emotional drama. Will Francis (Jude Law) is a successful landscape architect who runs an upscale business with his friend Sandy (Martin Freeman) in the King's Cross section of London, a neighborhood that has long been plagued by crime and poverty but has lately become the target of a major gentrification program. Will's longtime girlfriend is Liv (Robin Wright Penn), a lovely woman troubled by a lack of communication between herself and her husband and emotional problems with their teenage daughter, Bea (Poppy Rogers), who can't sleep and is obsessed with gymnastics. A thief has broken into Will and Sandy's office not once but twice, taking Will's laptop and the company's computer equipment, and Will begins spending his evenings at the shop in hopes of catching the culprit in action. The burglar strikes a third time, and while giving chase, Will sees him make his way into a shabby apartment building. Will learns the criminal is Miro (Rafi Gavron), a 15-year-old refugee from Bosnia. Without revealing what he knows, Will makes the acquaintance of Amira (Juliette Binoche), Miro's widowed mother -- a Bosnian refugee who makes a living as a seamstress. As Will starts bringing Amira business on a regular basis, the two begin an affair which continues even as Will maintains his relationship with Liv.

As with the original, Law occasionally speaks directly to the camera while his character talks of the opposite sex. Under the direction of Charles Shyer, Alfie follows a charming, if morally lacking, womanizer from one bed to the next. While his actions arise more from nonchalance than malice, Alfie nonetheless faces a moral dilemma when considering that he's impregnated one of his latest girlfriends.

Five years after achieving commercial and critical success with his film Three Kings, director and screenwriter David O. Russell returns to the more idiosyncratic territory of his earlier work with this intelligent and offbeat comedy. Bernard and Vivian Jaffe (Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin) are a married couple who run an existential detective agency where they sift through the lives of their clients in order to discover the source of their angst. The Jaffes' latest client is Albert Markovski (Jason Schwartzman), an environmental activist who has a very large rock and a great deal on his mind; their study of Albert's problems lead Bernard and Vivian to Brad Stand (Jude Law), a public relations executive with a chain of successful variety stores, Huckabees. While publicly allying himself with Albert's environmental initiatives, behind the scenes Brad is running roughshod over responsible land management with little care for the consequences. When Brad learns he's being watched by the Jaffes, he hopes to co-opt them by hiring them himself; however, the plan has unexpected consequences when their questioning leads Brad's girlfriend, well-scrubbed model Dawn (Naomi Watts), into reassessing her life and relationships. Meanwhile, Albert finds himself joining forces with Tommy (Mark Wahlberg), a firefighter and fellow environmentalist who has been having second thoughts about Bernard and Vivian's ideas and methods after a long-term investigation and has since fallen under the spell of nihilist poet and philosopher Caterine Vauban (Isabelle Huppert). ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The best-selling series of subversive children's books from author Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler) come to the screen in this black comedy for the whole family (and how often do you get to see one of those?). The Baudelaire siblings -- gadget freak Violet (Emily Browning), bookworm Klaus (Liam Aiken), and baby Sunny (Kara Hoffman and Shelby Hoffman) -- were living a fairy-tale existence with their parents until they died in a fire that destroyed the family home. With few close relatives and a large fortune the children won't inherit until they reach adulthood, the Baudelaire children are left in the care of the peculiar Count Olaf (Jim Carrey), an out-of-work actor who would love nothing more than to get his hands on the kids' money. It doesn't take long for the children to figure out that Count Olaf is up to no good, and they try to steer clear of his various murderous schemes with the help of wildly paranoid Aunt Josephine (Meryl Streep) and snake-fancying Uncle Monty (Billy Connolly). Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events also features Catherine O'Hara, Timothy Spall, Cedric the Entertainer, and Luis Guzman; Jude Law narrates in the guise of author Snicket. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Patrick Marber's acclaimed stage drama about the romantic interactions of four people has been given a reverent screen adaptation by director and producer Mike Nichols. Dan (Jude Law) is a writer in London who wants to finish a novel, but in the meantime supports himself by writing obituaries. One day he chances upon Alice (Natalie Portman), a beautiful young American expatriate, working as a stripper, when he sees her get hit by a car. Alice immediately falls for Dan, and gives him her love without reservation. Dan is initially enchanted with Alice, and returns her affection, but while she inspires him to write his novel (based on her life), her neediness begins to wear on him. Anna (Julia Roberts) is a photographer who is hired to take a portrait of Dan for the dust jacket of his book; Dan is attracted to her easy confidence, and while the two of them flirt, Anna soon (inadvertently through Dan's playful machinations) meets Larry (Clive Owen), a dermatologist, and marries him. Dan can't get Anna out of his mind even though she's married, and the two become lovers, but Dan is frustrated by the fact that Anna is reluctant to leave Larry for him. Patrick Marber wrote the screenplay for this adaptation of Closer; it was the playwright's first feature-film credit. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Directed by Kerry Conran, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow revolves around the mysterious disappearance of some of the world's most revered scientists. When an investigation is launched, Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow), reporter for the prestigious Chronicle, and Sky Captain (Jude Law), resident flying ace, are at the forefront of the case. Though the mission's perks include traveling around the world, the stout-hearted duo are nonetheless risking their lives with each passing moment, as the culprit is none other than the nefarious Dr. Totenkopf, and his goal, from what they can gather, is to destroying the earth in its entirety. Luckily, Sky Captain and Polly are not alone -- Franky Cook (Angelina Jolie), the commander of an all-female amphibious squadron, and Dex (Giovanni Ribisi), an unparalleled technical genius, have joined them in hopes of saving the planet before it's too late. Laurence Olivier appears posthumously as Dr. Totenkopf, via old film-clips "recycled" (or CG-altered) to fit the dialogue and scenes at hand. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Martin Scorsese directed this fast-moving, epic-scale biopic documenting the life and loves one of the most colorful Americans of the 20th century, Howard Hughes. The Aviator follows Hughes (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) as the twentysomething millionaire, having already made a fortune improving the design of oil-drilling bits, comes to Hollywood with an interest in getting into the picture business. It doesn't take long for Hughes, with his passion for airplanes, to jump from producer to director of his first major film project, a World War I air epic called Hell's Angels, which took three years to complete thanks to the shift from silent to sound filming and Hughes' relentless perfectionism. However, the film was a massive hit, and the eccentric inventor became a mogul in Hollywood, making Jean Harlow (Gwen Stefani) a star and enjoying a romance with Katharine Hepburn (Cate Blanchett). But Hollywood's old-boy network never fully accepted Hughes, and in time his passion for flying began to reclaim his attentions as he began designing new planes, setting air speed records, flying around the world, and risking his life testing aircraft. Hughes also found time to romance Ava Gardner (Kate Beckinsale) and founded his own airline, Trans-World Airlines, though as his ideas became bolder, his approach became more eccentric, and he gained many powerful enemies, including the head of Pan-American Airlines, Juan Trippe (Alec Baldwin), and Senator Ralph Owen Brewster (Alan Alda), who attempted to prove that Hughes' radical design ideas were actually part of an effort to bilk taxpayers for millions of dollars through government contracts. The Aviator's star-studded cast also includes John C. Reilly, Jude Law, Willem Dafoe, Ian Holm, and Frances Conroy. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The acclaimed graphic novel from crime writer Max Allan Collins becomes this big budget Dreamworks drama from director Sam Mendes and screenwriter David Self. Tom Hanks stars as Michael Sullivan, a morally conflicted Depression-era hit man committing murder in the name of his employer, John Rooney (Paul Newman). A kindly, aging Irish crime boss who raised Sullivan as his surrogate son, Rooney is affiliated with Al Capone in Chicago and thus wields great power in the "Tri-Cities" of Moline, IL; Rock Island, IL; and Davenport, IA. Curious about his father's mysterious profession, Sullivan's son, Michael Jr. (Tyler Hoechlin), stows away in his father's automobile one night and witnesses the execution of a man at the hands of Sullivan and Rooney's biological son, Connor (Daniel Craig). Although Michael keeps his promise to remain silent about what he's seen, the paranoid and unstable Connor tries to wipe out the entire Sullivan clan anyway, succeeding only in killing Sullivan's wife, Annie (Jennifer Jason Leigh), and youngest son, Peter (Liam Aiken). Enraged at this and another surprise betrayal by the Rooneys, Sullivan embarks on a path of bloody retribution, Michael in tow. Although he intends to leave his boy with relatives in the rural town of Perdition once the coast is clear, he ends up exposing Michael to the goriest aspects of his talents, slaughtering former associates as he dodges contract assassin Maguire (Jude Law) and cripples the cash flow of the Rooney and Capone organizations through a series of bank robberies, attempting to force either mob family to offer up the sequestered Connor as a sacrifice. Inspired by the popular Japanese comic book series Lone Wolf and Cub and based loosely on an episode from the life and career of notorious real-life crime figures John and Connor Looney, Road to Perdition co-stars Stanley Tucci as legendary Chicago mobster Frank Nitti. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Based on the 1969 short story Super-Toys Last All Summer Long, by Brian Aldiss, this science fiction fantasy bears similarities to Pinocchio (1940) and originated as a long-gestating project of director Stanley Kubrick that passed to his friend Steven Spielberg after Kubrick's death. Haley Joel Osment stars as David, a "mecha" or robot of the future, when the polar ice caps have melted and submerged many coastal cities, causing worldwide starvation and human dependence upon robotic assistance. The first mecha designed to experience love, David is the "son" of Henry (Sam Robards), an employee of the company that built the boy, and the grief-stricken Monica (Frances O'Connor). David is meant to replace the couple's hopelessly comatose son, but when their natural child recovers, David is abandoned and sets out to become "a real boy" worthy of his mother's affection. Along the way, David is mentored by a pleasure-providing mecha named Gigolo Joe (Jude Law) and a talking "super toy" bear named Teddy. His adventures take him to the Roman Circus-style "Flesh Fair," where mechas are destroyed for the amusement of humans; Rouge City, where Gigolo Joe narrowly avoids capture by police; and finally a submerged New York City, where David's creator, Professor Hobby (William Hurt) reveals the secrets of the boy's creation. Brendan Gleeson and narrator Ben Kingsley co-star in A.I., which was adapted from Kubrick's treatment by Spielberg, in his first crack at screenwriting since Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977). ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

A turning point in 20th century war history is the focus of this fact-based account of the 1942-1943 battle of Stalingrad, in which the Germans were finally defeated by Russian influence -- one of the bloodiest battles in World War II history. The film stars Jude Law as Vassili, a marksman from the Urals who is transported to Stalingrad in 1942, and a master German sniper, Major Koenig (Ed Harris). Koenig, an expert German sniper, is determined to eliminate his formidable opponent by any means necessary; meanwhile, Vassili has joined forces with Danilov (Joseph Fiennes), a young Russian political adversary, who is impressed by Vassili's skills and raises his profile in the Soviet Union. Both Vassili and Danilov become involved with Tanya (Rachel Weisz), whose Jewish parents have been captured by the Germans and have forced her to take up with the men on a sniper expedition. Koenig and Vassili begin to develop traps for each other, until fate inevitably must bring the two sharpshooters together. This large-scale production, financed mostly by Teuton companies, also features Bob Hoskins as Nikita Krushchev and Ron Perlman as an aging Russian sniper. ~ Jason Clark, Rovi

The film opens with bored postman Jonny (Lee Miller) in clown-face reminiscing about his mate Jude (Law), who introduced him to his crime lord uncle Ray Kreed (Ray Winstone).

Bored, Jonny, along with Jude, bungle a credit card scam and then later really screw up by robbing high-grade blow from a South London gang headed by Sean (Sean Pertwee) and his sidekick Matthew (Ifans).

Add eXistenZ to top of Queue
Canadian filmmaker David Cronenberg, who has long been fascinated by the ways new technology shapes and manipulates the human beings who believe they are its masters, is in familiar territory with eXistenZ, a futuristic thriller which combines elements of science fiction, horror and action-adventure. What is eXistenZ? According to the glossary Cronenberg put together for this film, it is a new organic game system that, when downloaded into humans, accesses their central nervous system, transporting them on a wild ride in and out of reality. What's more, it changes every time it is played, by adapting to the individual user -- you have to play the game to find out why you are playing the game. More than one person can plug into the same game and set out on a series of bizarre and surrealistic adventures together. The narrative takes place sometime in the near future, when game designers are worshipped as superstars and players can organically enter inside the games. Allegra Geller (Jennifer Jason Leigh), the goddess among computer game designers whose latest invention, 'eXistenZ,' taps deeply into its users' fears and desires by blurring the boundaries between reality and escapism, is subject to an assassination attempt and forced to flee. Her sole ally is Ted Pikul (Jude Law), a novice security guard sworn to protect her. Persuading Ted to play the game, Allegra draws them both into a phantasmagoric world where existence ends and eXistenZ begins. Jennifer Jason Leigh, who is supposedly something of a computer nerd in real life, is hip and sexily alluring as Allegra Geller. When she and Pikul make love and are transported to the bizarre setting of a trout farm which has been converted to an assembly line production plant for games, they delve deeper into the dangerously intriguing game. Soon the forces of Anti-eXistenZialism will close in on Pikul and Allegra. eXistenZ marks the first time since Videodrome that Cronenberg has written a completely original screenplay. eXistenZ was inspired by the tribulations of the fugitive writer Salman Rushdie, author of the Satanic Verses. After interviewing the author for a magazine article in 1995, Cronenberg was struck with the idea of an artist who suddenly finds himself on a hit list for religious or philosophical reasons and is forced to go into hiding. The idea of a game came later on, for which he created a new vocabulary. According to Cronenberg, eXistenZ thematically connects to Crash, Videodrome, Naked Lunch and even M. Butterfly in terms of exploring the extent to which we create our own levels of reality and the idea of a creative act being dangerous to the creator. This is the second film on which Alliance Atlantis has been associated with Cronenberg, after Crash, which won the Special Jury Prize at the 1996 International Cannes Film Festival. On the occasion of the presentation of eXistenZ, Cronenberg received a Silver Bear for his outstanding artistic achievements at the 49th International Berlin Film Festival in 1999. ~ Gönül Dönmez-Colin, Rovi

LOS ANGELES (AP) - LeBron James had 39 points and eight assists, Dwyane Wade added 27 points on his 31st birthday and the Miami Heat held off the Los Angeles Lakers 99-90 Thursday night to finish the defending NBA champions' six-game road trip with three wins.
Ray Allen scored seven of his nine points in the final 5 minutes as the Heat repelled a late charge by the Lakers, who lost for the seventh time in nine games.
Kobe Bryant scored 13 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter for Los Angeles, which rallied for a brief lead midway through the final period before James and Allen secured the Heat's second win in their last eight road games against the Lakers.
Dwight Howard had 13 points and 16 rebounds for another double-double. Howard made just five of his 13 free throw attempts in the game. Metta World Peace added 16 points for the Lakers, who had five players with 12 or more points.

Having only caught towards the end of his set at Chella '11, this will be my first real time seeing Sonny Moore aka Skrillex. We've all grown to love his filthy, out of this world sounds with hit singles like "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" as well as ridiculous remixes along the likes of his rendition of La Roux's "In For The Kill." Here's a couple tracks your ears might still be virgins to and make sure to check Skrilly out on Saturday, 3-4:30 AM at the Neon Garden.
Shout out also to Bengi G and Plus One, you may know em as Jack Beats, who will be tearing up the stage right before from 2-3 AM.

Lucky for us there's a 13.. ...
By PaulaWestwood (397 reviews) from Ashton-Under-Lyne , 08 Jun 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
Though the high tide for Oceans was probably the first encounter , Oceans 12 was perfectly good, and this is no exception.
It is a slick, cool movie peppered with neat characters and another 'rip-off the big boys' plot that has you playing along on the wrong side for perhaps the right reasons.
Long at 2 hours, but definately worth the gamble, recommended.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Sab7786 (2 reviews) , 15 Jul 2013This film is great, just my only concern is Love Film have given us a copy with Italian subtitles in it.

Italian Subtitles
By Baculum8 (1 review) , 08 Jul 2013Having just watched this, I can say that I enjoyed it and that I am also glad that I can speak a bit of Italian. is that an odd comment? Well no, not when the occasional scene title and subtitles that pop up during the film are all in - you guessed it - Italian. But don't worry, the first one says three months earlier and the second, six months later - the rest don't matter- Was this review helpful to you?

For those of you working on the CryptoChallenge, here is the introduction.
There has been a disturbance in the Force. Some believe that the end of the age is coming soon. It is said the Great Jedi Master has contemplated a Great Insight, and has sent a message of Jedi Wisdom to the planetary Jedi Leader. However, that message has been sent in multiple packets through multiple agents so as not to fall entirely into the hands of the Dark Side if captured.
Your task is to find the names of the messengers, and something associated with their identity. Some believe that these associated entities may be under the influence of the Dark Side, but this is not known for certain. What is known is that The Force works in opposite ways on the messengers and that which is associated with them.
It is rumored that the Great Jedi Master has even used the Dark Side to send messages without their knowledge. Certainly their anger will be kindled if this becomes known. Only by discovering the identities of the messengers and their associates can one hope to understand the message fragments that were transmitted.
The Jedi Leader believes that the message points to answers only those with understanding can discern. Those answers can unlock the final message of Jedi Wisdom, but only if applied in the correct sequence.
Your mission, oh noble one, is to search the heavens and that which is around you. Identify the messengers and their associates, and unlock and reassemble the message fragments. Apply your understanding to achieve Jedi Knowledge and be the first to complete the mission assigned by the Jedi Master and you will be suitably rewarded.
May the Force be with you.

Knicks Player Faces Massive Personal Debt
Curry's free spending includes a $6,000-a-month personal chef, a Rolls-Royce and a $350,000 debt to fellow NBA player Juwan Howard. He has a mansion and children in private school. He also gives around $16,000 a month to relatives.
"Mr. Curry appears to be a very, very generous man," Allstar Capital attorney Donald David said. "He appears to have taken it upon himself to support every person named Curry on the East Coast."
This isn't Curry's first bout with financial woes. He has faced previous lawsuits and his home in suburban Chicago fell into foreclosure. He already has more than $207,000 garnished from his paychecks each month.
Curry is far from the first athlete to find himself in financial trouble. We've also chronicled the sagas of former athletes like Lenny Dykstra and Latrell Sprewell who have found themselves having to sell off their belongings to pay back debts.

Hi folks, I'm back! I'm always reluctant to leave Gettysburg, and this time was no exception. The weather was hot but perfect, the tour I took was terrific, and the food and drink were, well, way better than hardtack and salt pork (sorry, hardcores!). Obviously the big deal at G-burg is the new visitor's center. I tried to take it as neutrally as possible, and I can say it's not horrible. If you were going to G-burg for the first time, or didn't want to know minute details about the battle and just wanted to experience it, then the VC was perfect. If, like many of us, you already know a lot about the battle and don't need a museum's help to understand the basics, then it's a flashy, modern (touch-screens and videos) sort of review; walk through quick, and get out on the field. There seemed to be a lot of open space not being used for anything--impressive, I guess, but I'd rather see more of their collection out. The 22-minute intro film was pretty bland and a little too PC for me (according to it, you'd think the only thing Lincoln thought about before and during the war was slavery--not preserving the union, etc.)--not worth the 8 bucks it cost, in my mind. And if you're willing to fork over $2.50 for a cuppa joe, or $4 for a hot dog, the Refreshment Saloon is for you. And the Museum Bookstore was what lots of people said: Trinket and Toy Central, mostly, but with a decent collection of books at one end. This new VC is supposed to be a destination in itself, I think, which if you're running it for profit, is what you want. All this said, however, I have to admit, I go to Gettysburg for the battlefield, not the VC, so at least now I'll have a large, spacious new restroom to use before I do that! My tour was excellent. I'm lucky to have a LBG as a friend, so he took me on what we called the Random Tour: crawling through the underbrush on Culp's Hill to see the Confederate burial pits, hiking through the Rose Woods to find where Semmes was hit, heading out to the East Cav Field to try to teach me something about Custer and Gregg. Lots of ticks, sweat and poison ivy--which means it was a great tour! The biggest battlefield change for me this time was the timber cutting in the Triangular Field area. Actually, it's not a triangle anymore because most of that area is now open scrubby field, just about all the way from Warfield Ridge to LRT. It's a little disorienting, but cool, because you can really see how Hood's men would have had to struggle through scrub and rocks and hills--in mostly open areas-- BEFORE they even got to Devil's Den and the Slaughter Pen. No wonder he followed orders under protest. As for food, I think we pretty much hit everything that was suggested to me but for The Mine, and adding in the Cashtown Inn and the DQ. No generals at O'Rourke's to speak of, and the game pie WAS delicious, according to my husband. So, yes, I'd rather be there than here. Anyone heading that way I can hitch a ride with? Pam |

I was at the new Visitor's Center on my last trip to Gettysburg, this past April. It had just opened, within the past week, or so. Like Pam, I have been there enough, and read enough history that I would not learn too much in the VC. It is target towards people that are there for their vacation. People with little, or no knowledge of the Civil War - or Gettysburg. For those people, it is a MUST see. They will certainly have a better understanding of the battle, and what they are looking at. Nice post, Pam. Mike |

Ed, My guide and I came onto Culp's Hill from the Stevens Knoll side. He knew where to pull off by finding a couple different monuments, then crossing the road and finding a path. I'd say we walked straight up the hill about halfway between the road and Culps' Hill observation tower. There were few landmarks; that side's not as full of boulders as the Spangler's Spring side. He was counting off paces as we walked a faint path, and we had to keep detouring around downed trees; apparently, the park service fells trees across paths to deter people (like us, or probably more like teenage partiers) from walking back into the woods. When we finally got there, it was really hard to see the pit at first, under the leaves and all, but we walked the edge of it, about 5 by 10 yards, and it was vaguely rectangular, and about two feet deeper than the surrounding ground. There were a couple blazes on nearby trees to mark it, and someone had actually trekked back there to plant several small Confederate flags. According to my guide, this was one of two pits John Burns showed to dignitaries visiting the battlefield several years before his death. I'm guessing it was an easier climb about 140 years ago. Like most of Culp's Hill, it was REALLY quiet there. Part of that's because almost no one goes there as compared to the rest of the battlefield. But somehow it felt like more. Of course, you KNOW as you walk any battlefield that men fought and died on the ground under your feet, but this was so secluded and almost pristine that it was more real to me. It didn't matter if it was Confederate or Union men. Nothing creepy or spooky, just very real. To be honest, I couldn't get you there again, but it was by far one of the coolest things I've seen on the field in a long time! Pam |

Pam- It sounds like you had a wonderful time. I'm looking forward to my trip out there late next month. I'm going to reserve judgment on the new VC until I see it for myself, but it doesn't sound as horrible as some people say, nor as great as others do. I think that there is going to be a learning curve for the new for-profit association, and I'm willing to give them time. You're note about the ticks and sweat and poison ivy really hit home with me. It seems as though if one wants to get to where it is quiet enough to hear the ground speak to you, one must endure the ticks, sweat, and poison ivy. It is amazing how the best days I've had stomping through a battlefield have ended with some fairly uncomfortable evenings - but I loved it. Those feelings - nothing creepy or spooky - they are real. It was those feelings that compelled me to do what I do, much like it compels others to write, paint, teach, or volunteer. And kudos to your husband for humoring your interests yet one more time. |

Welcome back it seems like you had a great time ( in gettysburg how could you not )I know what you mean about the VC...They appear to be trying to tell the entire story of everything civil war there....I wish it was just a tad more Gettysburg oriented...I really don't spend that much time there anyway (Just had to see what all of the hub ub was about) if it helps tourism great, though I am pretty sure the relocation is hurting businesses on Von Steinwehr.... ken |

Kevin, Nothing has been done with the old VC. The grass is all grown up, and it looks pretty forlorn. It's interesting that, just about each time I drove by it, there were a decent number of cars in the lot, and people seemed to want to go see it, anyway. One time I drove by I saw Supt. Latchar and some guys in suits standing in front of it with the front doors open, but who knows what that was. The plan, as I've heard it, is to eventually knock it down, along with the old Cyclorama building, and return Ziegler's Grove to how it was in the battle. They need the money to do that, first, though, which could take time. Side note: one of the times I was leaving the new VC, I happened to hear a man say to his wife, "This is nice, but I think the old Visitor's Center was closer to things like the cemetery and the battlefield. This feels way out of my way." I wonder how many others feel that way? Pam |

I need to throw my two cents out there on a couple points. First - I will be tickled when the old VC is down and the field restored. It may be further from the new VC, but I am all for the restoration to look like 1863. The Cyclorama building, as I understand, may be there longer. I believe there is a lawsuit by the architect's son to have the building named as a historic site. It can't be manned by the NPS, so I imagine in a couple years it may be no more than an eyesore. Second - The knowledge on this discussion board is amazing. I am in awe of some of the posts I read. However, sadly, that is not the case with a vast majority of people. A case in point - I was at Shiloh a few years ago and ready to take my family (wife, her mother, and my three children) on the driving tour. I explained that this may be confusing because the auto tour is not in chronological order - if something doesn't make sense, speak up. My mother in law, before we started, asked if this had anything to do with the Boston Tea Party and all that. Now granted, most people have more knowledge about history than her, but in my experience, most people need a general background on the whole CW. For those of you that need more, I understand there is a nice new library and study area. I agree with the NPS to try to cater to the majority to hopefully create more interest. This is just MHO, as I have not experienced the new VC yet. I probably will have more opinions after I see the refurbished Cyclorama and VC next month. Tim |

Tim, I agree with your second point (your second of two cents!). I'll be the first to admit that, if you give me a chance, I'll try to find a connection for just about ANYTHING to the Civil War! But most of us (should I guess all of us?) who contribute to these discussions feel a lot the same way. I have to keep reminding myself not everyone wants to know everything about the Battle of Gettysburg or the CW in general. If a family from Anywhere USA comes to Gettysburg on their vacation even for a day, that's a plus, and the new VC does a decent job of giving an overview of a part of history so they might leave with a bit more knowledge of it. I'll admit, I was that tourist once: seeing my family name unexpectedly on the PA Monument was what got me "hooked!" On a related subject--I subscribe to The Civil War News, and this month's edition spends the first three pages of letters to the editor (including a defensive one from Supt. Latschar) letting people vent/complain about the new VC. I thought it was pretty over-the-top and not particularly objective for the CWN, which I usually tend to agree with. Most of the letters are from people who know a lot about the battle/war, and want the VC to be geared to their needs, not the casual visitors'. I think that those of us "in the know" about the CW know where to go--like these discussions, for example--and don't expect the VC to be what it wasn't meant to be. I think I added a couple of cents to yours! Pam |

Making everything related to the Civil War ? I can relate to that. Yesterday I was at a funeral for a very dear older gentleman that my father worked for . As the honor guard played Taps , it was all I could do to not lean over to the person next to me and say , "You know Taps was written during the Civil War by Butterfield." I stopped myself just in time. Susan |

Susan- I think that you are overlooking the contribution of the bugler from the 83rd PA, Oliver Wilcox Norton. Opinions differ as to who actually wrote what is now known as: "Taps." Some sources credit Butterfield alone, but my guess is that the two collaborated on it. Thus, I believe that Norton is due an : "assist."

I too read the CW News and was taken back a little by the newspapers attitude. In doing research for maps, I get to spend time with some NPS historians and listen to some of their stories. They run everywhere from people that want to know "why are so many CW battles fought in National Parks?" - and "how come there aren't any bullet marks on any of the monuments?" (my mother in law type questions) to people that have very detailed, specific questions about the 153rd PA (sound familiar to anyone?). I think the NPS does a great job catering to the vast majority of the people that fall in the middle. And Susan, my wife has a look she gives me that means "don't start" when somebody even casually mentions Custer, Fredericksburg, Lincoln, or any any other "spark" words. Kudos for biting your tongue, because I did actually say that at a funeral. |

Gee guys , I am a female that gets that look from friends who are not Civil War people. I get the rolled eyes and blank stare every so often. Of course many are glad I am off the Shakespeare thing I used to go on and on about. lol. Of course I have linked Shakespeare many times to Civil War Defender I had forgotten about the bugler . mea culpa. Just the first thought that flashed in my mind was visiting Berkley Plantation and reading that Butterfield have written taps there on one of the signs. As to visitors to Gettysburg I know friends are always saying there are the people who ask where Buster Kilrein 's monument is. First time someone told me that story I asked who is Buster kilrein. I had not seen the movie or read Killer Angels at the time. I know you are all in SHOCK!!! Susan |

Susan, I'm with you on that--my friends are far less tolerant of my CW "jags" than my husband, lucky me. He'll still listen to me go on about this or that CW thing, or at least does a good job pretending. I used to teach Shakespeare--how'd you connect him to our Civil War? Wish I'd thought of that! Our ninth graders watch the whole Gettysburg movie as part of the CW unit. I'm still working on the 9th grade SS teachers to tell the kids Buster was NOT a real person! This is my favorite line: A guide friend told me that once he was giving a tour and was at the Railroad Cut, talking about the fierce fighting there, and how the soldiers, once they got down in the cut they were pretty much caught there and couldn't get up the other side. A man in the tour asked, "Why didn't they just use the bridge?" Pam |

Pam , Lincoln was a great lover of Shakespeare and of course Booth acted in many plays of Shakespeare. Then there is Fanny Kimble who came from England to do Shakespeare readings and married one of the largest slave holders in Georgia. Wonderful book called Fanny Kimble's Civil Wars about her problems with her husband and her suffort of Union causes. Also Fanny Kimble's Journal. By the way she is the grandmother of Owen Wister of the archtypical Western , the Virginian . She is the niece of Sarah Siddons one of the greatest female Shakespearan actresses. Sherman even quotes Shakespeare in his Memiors. Bama I know better than to pass on the sappy story. I heard it and did research on it as it didn't ring true to me. Now if only I could move California closer to Gettysburg so I could still live here and visit Gettysburg more often. AND NO I don't mean by means of an earthquake all of you who were thinking that.
