Can Bryan Cranston Put 'Breaking Bad' Behind Him By Going Anti-Drug in 'The Infiltrator'?Movie News By Adam Bellotto on October 9, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
You remember Bryan Cranston, right? White guy, about average height, tendency to shave his head and scowl out meth-related menace from behind a bushy goatee? Since Breaking Bad ended last year, Cranston's been floating from project to project, picking up a role here and there but nothing truly memorable since his hair grew back and his perma-grimace softened. Cranston's added another post-Breaking Bad role to his list: The Infiltrator. Like the title implies, Cranston will play a guy who infiltrates. In this case, that guy would be the real-life Robert Mazur, a Customs and Excise agent who went undercover into the highest circles of Columbian drug cartels, specifically the Medellin cartel headed up by Pablo Escobar. So the absolute highest of the high in South American drug circles. Based on Mazur's autobiography of the same name, The Infiltrator will be helmed by Brad Furman, who's got a solid working relationship with Cranston after the two did The Lincoln Lawyer together. Ellen Brown Furman will be handling the screenplay.

'The Battery,' 'The Burbs' and 'Eraserhead' Are the Best New Blu-ray/DVD Releases of the WeekFeatures By Rob Hunter on September 16, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Welcome back to This Week In Discs! If you see something you like, click on the title to buy it from Amazon. The Battery The zombie apocalypse has left America a wasteland of the undead with pockets of mankind struggling to survive. Two former baseball players forced by the situation to become fast friends travel the country looking for supplies and safety, but their different personalities and views on the situation lead to dramas far removed from the flesh-eating varieties. Zombies have been ubiquitous in the horror genre for years now with three out of every five horror films focusing on them as their monster of choice. (I totally made that up, but it feels right.) The vast majority of them are pretty damn terrible, but once in a while a real gem comes along, and one of the best is this American indie that dares find the humanity in a story about the inhuman. It feels like a drama, but a lack of flesh-chewing scenes doesn't mean it's devoid of horror as the reality these men find themselves in is a terrifying one. Writer/director Jeremy Gardner (who also plays one of the two leads) is a refreshingly smart new voice in genre film-making. [Blu-ray/DVD extras: Commentary, making of, outtakes, featurette, trailer]
10 Movies That Disappointed Us This SummerFeatures By Rob Hunter on August 22, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
This will probably be difficult to believe for some of you, but we walk into every movie hoping it will be the best movie. We may criticize a trailer or point out early concerns, but once we sit down and the movie starts digitally unspooling before our eyes our hope every single time is to experience something fantastic. When a film succeeds on that front we shout it from the highest virtual rooftops, but that isn't always the outcome. The pure flip-side of this of course are the movies we leave absolutely despising. Usually the films in this group aren't exactly surprises — think Blended, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Sex Tape, Hercules — and while we hoped for better we ended up with pretty much what we expected. But sometimes the movies we expected more from end up being major disappointments too. A quick poll of the staff revealed a pretty varied list of films fitting this description, some of which are viewed as unqualified successes by the rest of us. Keep reading to see ten of the movies that left us unsatisfied, underwhelmed and ultimately disappointed.

What 'Godzilla' Does and Doesn't Have in Common with 'Independence Day' (and 'Chef')Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on June 3, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
In order to convince David Straithairn's Admiral Stenz not to use nuclear power to annihilate the giant behemoths quickly approaching American soil, Ken Watanabe's Dr. Serizawa brandishes a deceivingly quotidian object: a stopped pocket watch. It was Dr. Serizawa's father's during the bombing of Hiroshima, an instructive moment in history now literally frozen in time as a cautionary token. Though Ken Watanabe looks nowhere near 70, my (I thought, reasonable) assumption during this scene of Gareth Edwards' Godzilla was that Dr. Serizawa's father had immediately perished alongside tens of thousands of others during the infamous 1945 atomic bombing. But regardless of this emblem's status as a memento of death on a massive scale, that Dr. Serizawa's father survived Hiroshima and Dr. Serizawa is a healthy mid-50s man now seems far more likely considering this film's view of tragedy. Despite its keeping with the summer movie tradition of mass destruction, despite its conflagration of images evoking recent tragedies from the Fukushima to Katrina, and despite updating a film 60 years its junior that was in no way afraid of dealing with violent devastation head-on, 2014's Godzilla is not a monster movie about understanding tragedy. It is instead a rather strange film about survivors, and it demonstrates how disingenuously low-stakes studio summer movies have become.
Why We Can Look Forward to Remakes of '90s Blockbusters Like 'Stargate' and 'Cliffhanger'Features By Christopher Campbell on May 30, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
We are getting thick into the era when Hollywood remakes a lot of '90s movies. We already saw Total Recall and Dredd, and in the news lately are developments on the next versions of Point Break, Cliffhanger and now Roland Emmerich's Stargate, the latest to be officially announced. In a way, Godzilla counts, though it's a redo of a movie from the '50s more than the previous American take on the monster (also directed by Emmerich). And I'd maybe also include Atom Egoyan's The Devil's Knot, which is basically a dramatic redo of the documentary Paradise Lost: The Child Murders of Robin Hood Hills. That's not a Hollywood movie, though, and the original wasn't either. One thing I realized recently is that I saw a lot fewer blockbusters in the '90s versus the '80s. I never saw the 1998 Godzilla. I never saw Cliffhanger. And I didn't see Point Break in the theater or at a time close to when it came out. Mostly this can be attributed to the fact that I was getting older. For much of the decade I was busy with high school or broke in college (oh, the irony of being in film school and only being able to see one new movie in the theater my freshman year). Also, my dad moved away in 1990, and he'd been the parent who took us to the multiplex every weekend. But I don't believe it's necessarily these personal reasons that have me less concerned about remakes of '90s movies than I'd been with […]
'Star Wars' Spin-Off To Be Directed By 'Godzilla' Director Gareth Edwards For 2016Movie News By Christopher Campbell on May 22, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
First he made Monsters, then he made Godzilla, so the next logical step is for Gareth Edwards to make a movie about the Rancor creature from Return of the Jedi. Or should he instead give us the origin story of the Sarlacc or maybe the Space Slug from The Empire Strikes Back? The news that Edwards will direct a stand-alone Star Wars spin-off movie has to be about him tackling one of those. The guy doesn't do movies that don't involve monsters. Okay, so his venture into a galaxy far, far away will likely involve a more popular character than any of those giants, but I bet we will at least see some kind of monsters in the movie, whether this will be the young Han Solo adventures or a Boba Fett movie or something that more directly spins off from next year's Star Wars sequel. According to Lucasfilm, the installment from Edwards already has a release date of December 16, 2016. That's almost exactly twelve months to the day after the release of Episode VII. Joining Edwards is screenwriter Gary Whitta, who last gave us the disappointing outer space adventure After Earth, which was directed by M. Night Shyamalan. You may remember that that movie also was based around a giant monster. Are we sure this new Star Wars movie won't be a monster movie? The origin story of the Acklay from Attack of the Clones, maybe? No, let's say that Edwards is set on delivering his biggest creature yet. That means […]
13 Big Questions Left Unanswered By 'Godzilla'Features By Rob Hunter on May 20, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Gareth Edwards' Godzilla is this summer's second wannabe blockbuster chronologically, but on a more qualitative scale it's a hell of a lot better (and on its way to being more successful) than The Amazing Spider-Man 2. It's a solid piece of summer entertainment that satisfies the senses with breathtaking visuals, tremendous sound design and a true sense of scale and power. It's also dumb as Godzooky. (Well, almost.) Awesome parts aside, the film features several moments and scenes that left us bewildered and scratching our heads. Of course it's a summer movie, a monster movie to boot, but the argument that a movie can't be both fun and smart is a non-starter. This one leaves a lot of unanswered questions behind — admittedly far fewer than the hilarious Pacific Rim did — so we're here to ask them. To be clear, this isn't where I ask why the film repeatedly cut away from the massive monster destruction happening in Honolulu and Las Vegas just to follow the lame human stories. Or why the Brody family was conveniently located at the center of each and every monster attack. Or how Godzilla, a 300 foot-tall monster, manages to sneak up on anyone. Or why a certain character billed as a lead– well, let's get to the actual unanswered questions about Godzilla. Spoilers below obviously.
Is It Possible to Make a Good 'Godzilla' Sequel?Features By Christopher Campbell on May 19, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
The following is a discussion of where the Godzilla franchise could go now that a sequel has been announced. There are some minor spoilers for the reboot currently in theaters, so you might not want to read this until you've seen it. It's already been given the green light, and now it's time to speculate what we'll be seeing in a sequel to Godzilla. According to Deadline, the follow-up will be back at Warner Bros., the studio that put out this past weekend's $93m-grossing blockbuster, even though now the film's production company, Legendary Pictures, is working with Universal as its primary distributor. There's also mention of an ongoing legal dispute, but that probably won't be enough to keep Godzilla 2 from stomping into theaters in the summer of 2017. The first question on most people's minds is who or what will the King of the Monsters fight next. Apparently, Legendary only has the rights to the title character, so there's a possibility that we won't be seeing any of the other giant creatures (or robots or, thankfully, offspring) from the Toho franchise. Of course, Legendary could dole out more money for use of Mothra if that's the case, but is that really want we want, a rehash of stuff seen before?
This Weekend, You Ensured Another 60 Years of 'Godzilla' MoviesMovie News By Scott Beggs on May 19, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
According to Variety, Godzilla making $93m (and $103m more outside the US) in its opening weekend is enough for Warner Bros. and Legendary to partner up on a sequel. A franchise has officially been born, and since franchises no longer die (see: Spider-Man et al.), that means Godzilla is going to be staring hungrily at buildings and trains for years to come. Just look at that face. He's practically drooling. Of course, another 60 years of movies is a nice present for the misunderstood monster's 60th birthday. Fortunately, even though our reviewer wasn't a big fan, most people seem happy with the latest outing, particularly the last 30 minutes. Particularly coming off the 1998 disaster, Gareth Edwards has crafted something impressive. Now, since we're bound to see Godzilla 2 (hopefully versus Batman) in 2017, there's a full range of older enemies for him to face, the small possibility of the filmmakers coming up with new enemies and the fan-favorite impossibility of a Pacific Rim crossover. Since we only know that the wheels are turning, there are plenty of questions for the franchise to face. Whether or not they'll stick with Edwards or if he'll move on to a movie that isn't based on terrifying beasties being the first on the list. Second on the list is what will happen if Godzilla's box office take drops the same way Amazing Spider-Man 2 did in its second weekend. Granted, we're getting a sequel for it, too. It's unlikely anyone will be angry about a new take on this […]
The Summer Box Office Challenge Week 4: Can Godzilla Stand Up to Adam Sandler and the X-Men?Features By Rob Hunter on May 19, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Welcome to week four of our 2014 Summer Box-Office Challenge! Think of it as a summer-long contest for movie-lovers — you'll make predictions and guesses as to which summer movies will rule the box-office each week, we award points and at the end of the contest the three top point-earners will each win a Blu-ray/DVD prize pack! First place will win ten (10) Blu-ray/DVD titles released throughout the coming summer, second place wins five (5) and third place wins two (2). We'll have bonus questions each week as well to help bolster your point totals and keep you in the running. The box office actuals from this past weekend unsurprisingly put Godzilla at #1, but his arrival hasn't altered our own #1 and #2 as Husain and AKFilmfan retain their top spots. The remaining three positions have been shaken up a bit though by some newcomers. Godzilla took in $93.19 million this weekend while Million Dollar Arm failed to beat Trouble With the Curve taking in less than that film's $12.2m opening weekend. Here are the current standings for our contest. Husain – 11 points AKFilmfan – 9 pts Starkweather – 9 pts Spencer Connell – 6 pts Thomas McCallum – 6 pts And now it's on to week four! Check out the challenge questions below and play along in the comments section.
Could We Make Our Own 'Godzilla'?Features By Kevin Carr on May 19, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Godzilla isn't just a monster. He's more than just an ancient Japanese movie god. He is an icon of science fiction, more responsible than any other creature for bringing kaiju films to the awareness of the world. Sure, Gamera is cool too, but the international cinematic community hasn't quite embraced the giant turtle the way they have this giant lizard. Since his debut in 1954, Godzilla has become a household name, and his appearance is legendary. Even with the hiccup that was Roland Emmerich's 1998 attempt (resulting in a creature that is rejected as proper canon to the series), Godzilla has remained the king of the monsters, literally getting bigger and bigger every year. (Seriously, he's now more than twice as tall as the original from 1954.) These films sure are fun to watch, but when you see enough of them, you can't help but wonder: Could a creature the size of Godzilla actually exist? Could we make our own?

Saturday Morning Cartoon: Chase 'Godzilla' with Two Homages to KaijuFeatures By Daniel Walber on May 17, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Judging by the crazy advanced ticket sales for Godzilla, by this point many of you have already seen the movie. Given the ecstatic reviews that it's been getting I think it's safe to assume that the bulk of you are all hopped up on kaiju and desperate for more. And, thanks to the rabid fandom that has developed over the years for this particular brand of Japanese monster, there are plenty of cartoon lizards just waiting to be devoured online. Godzilla has starred in two different animated television series. The first was simply titled Godzilla, and was co-produced by Hanna-Barbera and Toho. It aired in both the United States and Japan starting in the fall of 1978. Following a team of scientists as they travel the world on a ship, Godzilla is more of a plot device than a character. In the monster's stead is Godzooky, his much more reasonably sized cousin. Godzooky is essentially a green, reptilian version of Scooby-Doo, hardly a surprise given the involvement of Hanna-Barbera. Actually, the whole show plays like a seafaring re-imagining of Scooby Doo, Where Are You! with much bigger monsters (and no shady criminals hiding inside). You can watch the first season of the show here, with a Hulu+ subscription. The second series was launched twenty years later in the wake of the "success" of the Roland Emmerich film. It was given the creative title of Godzilla: The Series and aired on Fox on Saturday mornings. It ran for two seasons before it was canceled, never able to keep up […]
12 Movies To Watch After You've Seen 'Godzilla'Features By Christopher Campbell on May 16, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
When there's a new remake out in theaters, the most obvious instruction I can have for you is to watch the original. Unless it's a remake of something bad, I guess, but even then I think it's necessary to go back and see the previous effort, for historical sake. With Godzilla, there are tons of predecessors. There's another list to be written — and I think a few sites already have done so — recommending which past movies starring the King of the Monsters are worth seeing. I've actually only seen the first one from 1954, so I couldn't be the authority on that anyway. As far as I know, there might even be something worthwhile in the 1998 remake that everyone hates. I never saw it (though I did see a bit being filmed when I lived near one of the locations) so I can't argue for or against it. Instead, this week's recommendations consist of other movies that clearly influenced the newest version (and some, the original), as well as some necessary earlier films of talent involved in the remake, plus a few titles that I was reminded of while watching that I think are relevant. And to make it easy on you, to ensure that you catch up with all of these titles I've chosen, I note the easiest way for you to check out these films right now, thanks to the website Can I Stream.it?. As always, this list contains spoilers for the movie in focus, so only read […]
Why You Should Watch 'Radio Bikini' and 'The Atomic Cafe' Instead of the New 'Godzilla'Features By Nonfics on May 16, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
"When not close enough to be killed, the atomic bomb is one of the most beautiful sights in the world." That quote, from a 1950s military instructional video, sums up not only the American attitude towards nuclear warfare during the Cold War but also our current fascination with mass destruction in blockbuster filmmaking. Audiences are in love with collapsing buildings, with clouds of debris flooding city blocks, with fire and shredded metal blotting out the sky. From the safety of the cinema seat or the couch, it's all so exciting, rather than the pinnacle of horror. But when the original Godzilla came out in 1954, its scenes of mass destruction were anything but entertaining. The titular monster's rampage across Japan was played completely seriously and for all the terror it could muster. It tapped a deep vein of contemporary anxieties in a culture that had been hit with two nuclear weapons and then had to watch as the country that dropped said weapons on them tested even more powerful bombs in the ocean nearby. Godzilla's first attack is against a fishing vessel, a direct reference to a real-life incident in which a Japanese ship was caught in the fallout of an American nuclear test. The first of those Pacific tests was Operation Crossroads, in 1946, in which two atom bombs were dropped in the Bikini Atoll. That incident is the subject of Robert Stone's Oscar-nominated 1988 documentary Radio Bikini, which relates the events through primary footage, with minimal added commentary. The government lied to the citizens of the islands […]

In our shortest episode of the year, I take a minute to dissect the way gigantic things are being portrayed on screen and to consider how Godzilla is like the most recent doomsday climate change report. Plus, Jack interviews the legendary Bill Paxton who plays a pitching coach in Million Dollar Arm. They get philosophical about acting just above a whisper and going calmly over the top. Fortunately, the lurking Predator decides not to attack them in the process.

Six Decades of 'Godzilla' Movie PostersFeatures By Adam Bellotto on May 14, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
You may have noticed a sudden surge in Godzilla lately. Where before there was nothing (and by nothing, I mean a single teaser and a handful of posters), now there is a Godzilla bounty everywhere you turn. Trailers, preview screenings, stupidly brilliant Snickers ads, dessert plates, and all manner of spoilers leaking out through Godzilla toys (not that one should ever look for that kind of thing). In the lead up to the release this weekend, Godzilla is everywhere. And in this deluge of radioactive green merchandise was a new poster for the big dude's resurgence. This poster:
Will We Ever Get a Summer Blockbuster Without Dialogue?Discussion By Christopher Campbell on May 13, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
"Let them fight." As we see in the "Asia trailer" for Godzilla, at some point Ken Watanabe's character says the above line, and it's definitely a meta moment for a monster movie featuring a ton of human characters. Godzilla in action is what audiences are most interested in seeing. But is it the only thing? Do they want a human angle, too? What if there were no people in this new reboot, or at least none that had any narrative arc or dialogue? Would we be interested in a nearly "silent" film in which the King of Monsters destroys cities for our enjoyment while ant-like military men shoot at him anonymously? What if another monster is thrown in there so there's some discernible "plot" entailing a battle between the giant beasts, both of them just roaring and screeching at each other? Unfortunately, I don't think Hollywood would ever allow for a blockbuster that doesn't have movie stars spewing worthless words or at least a voiceover narration providing exposition. Yet a lot of moviegoers tend to agree that the humans in movies like Godzilla just get in the way and slow the thing down. Why must we care about a handful of characters when thousands of unnamed other people are stomped on and we aren't meant to bat an eyelash for them? And who cares why the monster is heading toward San Francisco? These rhetorical questions fit with a discussion prompted by David Ehrlich on the latest episode of the Fighting in the […]

The waiter was helpful, although the place was really busy we got our food in a very timely manner.

- the best meal of 2014goodloveDined on 10/9/2014The service, atmosphere and food were all excellent. I loved hearing about how each dish was sourced and prepared. I asked lots of questions and out server was happy to answer them. To be clear, I love that this restaurant sources their food and drink locally. However, even if where your food comes from doesn't cross your mind on a regular basis, you'll still be impressed by the chefs creations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreatgstarrDined on 10/4/2014Really enjoyed our brunch. Would go back for sure.Special Features:
- Love ForageMissk8Dined on 10/1/2014We had a lovely dinner there this week. Forage is a dependable, high quality establishment with good staff. We always feel welcome there, the staff is friendly and professional, but not stuffy. The food is fantastic. We shared three dishes plus a small cheese plate for dessert, all with a bottle of wine, and found the cost very reasonable. The food is creative and has a modern flair without being weird, or sparse. Just go, you wont' be disappointed!Special Features:
- Great Food and ServicevanvegDined on 9/30/2014I am a vegetarian and so there were not too many choices for me as I also try to avoid cheese. The menu is always fresh however so anything can be substituted. I went for the Kale Salad and the corn bread with out the cheese topping and they were both amazing. I am not really a huge fan of Kale, but decided to try it and glad I did. My co diners got the Elk and an order of Lamb and said they were amazing, especially the lamb. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. No complaints at all from any of us.Special Features:

- Great experience :)grateful4foodDined on 9/27/2014We went for brunch for my dad's birthday, and the food was so fresh and flavorful. My dad loves chowder, and he quite enjoyed the famous seafood chowder. Our server made the meal even better, being engaging and enthusiastic, and providing an excellent recommendation when I didn't know what to order. Thanks for the great food! We'll be back soon :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brilliant concept!PhillinUKDined on 9/26/2014As visitors from UK we were looking for "something different". This is exciting, innovating and surprising food (salmon collars - superb!) served in a vibrant atmosphere with very friendly and knowledgable staff. Thoroughly recommended for a stand-out food experience. Seafood Chowder absolutely the best ever - and we have tasted many! Must try "Brutus"! - awesome cocktails!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent StaffSEAdinnerVIPDined on 9/26/2014Matthew the maitre d made us feel so welcome. The excellent service on top of great food will bring us back.Special Features:
- Wonderful restaurantFltravelerDined on 9/25/2014Forage is a great restaurant for grazing through the menu. Most dishes are easily enough for two people. Even my desert was more than enough for two people. Fresh ingredients, great service and everyone was friendly and didn't mind my asking so many questions about where the food was sourced or how it was prepared. Not a cheap place, so would consider it a once or twice a year dinner out. We were visiting Vancouver for three days and glad we made a reservation and ate at this restaurant.Special Features:
- Top notchKwdinerVIPDined on 9/25/2014Unusual food designed for sharing. Knowledgeable servers. Not for timid diners who want the mundaneSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So soDMtravellerDined on 9/20/2014The place looks nice and open, although our table was small considering that there were 3 of us and the food comes out as soon as it is prepared. It (the table) soon became very crowded and too small to be comfortable. We ordered mushrooms with goat cheese, which was probably the better of all dishes we had. We also ordered beet salad, tomato salad, charcuterie, duck croquette, and seared tuna. The last dish was by far one of the stranger ones: a nice piece of tuna that was ruined by the cocoa. We felt that Forage cares more about being different than it does about the food. All dishes were very salty, too. The ambiance is nice and it's probably not a bad place for a drink at the massive bar before dining somewhere else.
- Wonderful dining experiencenightoutwithfriendsDined on 9/20/2014We thoroughly enjoyed our first (but definitely not our last!) visit to Forage. The food was inspiring in it's elegant simplicity and beautiful presentation, and absolutely mouthwatering. Our service was excellent and personable and contributed to a wonderful evening out. We couldn't pick a favourite dish, as they were all amazing. As a dessert, the Lemon Verbena Neufchatel cheese puff was truly outstanding. We're looking forward to our next visit!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It is decentOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 9/13/2014Forage is interesting. Three of the dishes we got were very good (Albacore Tuna, Elk Striploin, and the Tomato Risotto). One dish was very bad, not one of the three of us enjoyed it, the salmon collars. Not sure what the chef was thinking there. Surprisingly the kale chips were also very bad. Not flavour to them. Simply, dried Kale chips. No salt, no nothing. I rather eat bark than kale with no flavour. Service was exceptional. Really stand out.
- Great food, not intimateJulieVIPDined on 9/12/2014The food was amazing. Unique dishes with locally sourced ingredients. Not an intimate spot though--the tables are close together and it's quite loud with all the people talking about themselves. If you don't mind that, or can go on an off night, we would definitely recommend it for the food.Special Features:
- DelightfulBethBVIPDined on 9/12/2014We stumbled upon Forage a year ago and made reservations to return the minute we had plans to come back to Vancouver. It's a local, fresh, seasonal menu that allows you to try things you normally may not. The food is delicious and the dishes are creative. Every dish served is explained to you as it's delivered. We have only ever sat at the bar because it allows you to see everything going on and meet knew people. Also, the bartenders are attentive and just wonderful in explaining the menu and making suggestions. One of my most favorite restaurants.Special Features:
- Not that ImpressivegerbDined on 9/11/2014Tables extremely close together. With noisy room and large table I was unable to hear the conversation from across the other side. Our server was attentive and well versed with the menu. The 5 oz glass of wine is a little on the chincy side. Nice if there was a 9 oz option. My wife had to visit the washroom the next day for an unscheduled and unplanned occasion if you know what I mean and said it was a result of our dinner out the night before. Sorry, but won't be back.Special Features:
- Very goodbthepalmDined on 9/7/2014Excellent service from Sebastian, interesting and tasty food options. Kale salad best I've ever had!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 9/6/2014Food good, healthy fare. Good service. Salads imaginative.Special Features:
- A Nice FindHaveHopeDined on 9/5/2014My friend and I were staying in a hotel on Robson and came across forage while out on a walk. We checked the menu posted outside and decided to give it a try. We made a reservation for dinner and were not disappointed. The food and service was great! We enjoyed it enough to return for breakfast the next morning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Forage always deliversCammiDined on 9/4/2014This was our third visit to forage, and we were not disappointed (except for the fact that they had no pork belly)! The food was outstanding, so tasty and unique, and the servings were perfect in size and quantity. The server was attentive and not pushy. We will definitely be back!Special Features:
- sustainabledavidVIPDined on 9/3/2014The restaurant stresses sustainability, and uses only locally sourced materials -- for example, instead of an olive, my wife's martini was garnished with a fiddle-head fern, and, yes, the vodka was locally brewed. I had a Sazerac, with similar locally-brewed spirits. We split the octopus appetizer, which came with toasted sourdough bits and a sauce which tasted mild but had a delayed bite. For dinner, we shared the elk and the halibut entrees. The elk was served in a walnut mole sauce with potatoes, squash, and greens. The halibut was served over gnocchi with mushrooms and bacon. All good. The prices do not reflect the small portion sizes -- perhaps the cost of sustainability. Overall, the experience was average to better-than-average.
- Loved it!GinnyDined on 8/31/2014Wonderful dining experience from beginning to end. Visiting from Portland Oregon, where we are spoiled by a vibrant and diverse food culture, we were very happy to have discovered Forage in Vancouver. We will definitely eat here on our next visit.Special Features:
- Good experience overallvsbyVIPDined on 8/31/2014Food was very good, only bit salty. Seafood bouillabaisse and zucchini flour tempura was the highlight.Special Features:
- Cheerful with interesting foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/31/2014We were there for brunch and the menu offered variations on the usual themes. My spiced lentils and merguez sausage with eggs hit the spot. The coffee was excellent. Service was brisk but welcoming. The only downside was that it was very noisy - but it was cheerful noise.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- local ingredients in top formAChiangDined on 8/30/2014Loved the idea that the menu changes in accordance with the availability of the freshest ingredients. Food was delectable, well prepared, and throughtful. Service was friendly. Would come again.Special Features:
- I didn't know what to expect!HungryEatsVIPDined on 8/27/2014A very exquisite menu with some uniquely crafted food. The elk dish was delicious! Definitely returning.Special Features:
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/25/2014I've heard a buzz about this new neighborhood restaurant and wanted to try it. The food was good, except one of our dishes. We order halibut and it was WAY OVERCOOKED. Not very appealing for fish. The manager made it right, so that was redeemable. The table they sat us at was the worst table in the restaurant. Its for 2 people in the most high traffic part of the restaurant. We were constantly bumped by the busy wait staff. We had a terrible server. She completely ignored us and missed many opportunities for re-fills on beers we wanted. The wait time in between our salad and entrees was pretty atrocious too. Might not have seemed so long, if she pay enough attention on keeping the drinks following. Overall I would not recommend.
- Great food, crowded spaceDeanDined on 8/25/2014The food and the variety were very good. The space is nice but the tables are so close together that I found it uncomfortable once another couple was seated next to us. The pricing was good and the idea of sharing plates is great. Our waiter was wonderful.Special Features:

The way the films is presented is remarkable and worth the price of admission alone… But the story! A fictional tale involving The Book of Kells finds us on a wild goose chase (literally) that results in laughter, empathy and fright. The only complaint I have is the excessive use of montage, but still that's just going searching for something. An entirely unique experience. 9.0

Surendra Khambete (DM 2006) is the president and CEO of Indratech, a company that is radically transforming the $40 billion foam industry. Their innovative cushioning material, known as "Indura Performance Fiber," which is a safe, green replacement to polyurethane foam, was recently featured in Business Week as an important "Material Innovation" (see: http://images.businessweek.com/ss/08/01/0128_material/10.htm).
Polyurethane foam is a ubiquitous product - in virtually every chair, sofa, or mattress - but the material can be harmful to humans and to the environment in a number of ways. Indura Performance Fiber addresses many of these concerns using polyester which is completely recyclable, hypoallergenic, and naturally flame resistant (http://www.indratech-us.com/index.html ). Indratech has received a bit of notoriety for its innovative product in the press, and is now operating two plants (in Auburn Hills, Michigan, and Elkhart, Indiana). The company has also recently announced a multi-million dollar contract with the U.S. Department of Justice for prison mattresses.
Prior to founding Indratech, Dr. Khambete was the president of 3D Solutions, an engineering firm specializing in product design and engineering for the automotive industry. He was also formerly the vice president and senior director, technology and development, for Collins & Aikman Corporation. His DM research focused on supplier relationships in the automotive industry, where he developed a concept he called "rational divergence" to explain why good collaborative practices are difficult to duplicate across contexts, and why collaboration in a supply chain so often results in sub-optimal performance.

After flirting with 13,000 on the Dow on Tuesday, investors got cold feet once again and bolted.
The stock market milestone was hit early Tuesday, as investors found comfort in a $172 billion European deal to bail Greece out of its massive debt problems. But by the market close investors were envisioning more unnerving chapters in the European debt saga, re-examining stock prices and worrying about the threat of a possible Iranian-imposed oil shock.
Rather than continuing its ascent above 13,000, the Dow Jones industrial average settled at 12,965, 16 points above last week's close.
Despite climbing almost 22 percent since early October and almost doubling since plunging to 6,547 in 2009, the Dow hasn't restored the money it took from investors when the U.S. financial crisis started undermining stocks on Oct. 9, 2007. Then, the Dow stood at 14,164. As the Dow approached 13,000 lately, financial advisers expressed hope that a sustained rally would finally coax individuals back into the stock market.
That failed to materialize Tuesday, despite expectations last week that a bailout deal for Greece would calm fear and continue the rally that started late last year. Greece takes on greater significance than one small country alone. The concern has been that if Greece fails to pay its debts on its Treasury bonds, other heavily indebted European countries such as Portugal and Spain could also leave bond investors in the lurch and set off a panic in the banking system like the 2008 Lehman Brothers collapse.
Banks hold a lot of bonds issued by the financially weak countries, plus insurance policies known as credit default swaps that get triggered if a country doesn't pay its debts. So if countries fail to make bond payments, banks would suffer losses and, perhaps, hoard cash rather than lending to people and businesses that need money.
Although many European observers think that the threat of a banking crisis has been relieved by the bailout of Greece announced Tuesday and a recent European Central Bank lending program to banks, the more that investors saw of the bailout plan Tuesday, the less sure they became of a permanent solution. Even with less worry about a Lehman-style financial crisis, some European countries are in recession and sinking. Greece and Spain each have unemployment rates around 20 percent, and if Greece fulfills the austerity requirements of the bailout package, the country is expected to plunge deeper into recession.
The question for the markets is: If European leaders tie bailouts to austerity requirements that push countries deeper into a recession, then how will they grow enough to fund the debt payments scheduled in the future?
The German publication Der Spiegel, for example, carried an opinion piece claiming the bailout is simply intended to create an illusion that Greece isn't bankrupt, while helping its bondholders rather than allowing Greece to get back on its feet. Without a more permanent solution, investors could find themselves in months ahead worried again about Greece and other indebted European countries, although bond investors have shown significant confidence in Spain and Italy lately. That confidence shows up in bond yields, which have dropped below 5.5 percent after being more than 7 percent a few months ago.
JPMorgan's economic team wrote Tuesday, "While there still exists a clear and present threat, the Eurogroup collection of EMU finance ministers have finally settled on the second aid package for Greece."
If the agreement does what's expected, investors holding Greek debt will agree to give up 53.5 percent of what they are owed on their bonds, and Greece by the year 2020 will have a ratio of debt to gross domestic product of 120 percent, versus about 160 percent without the deal.
With that deal, JPMorgan economists say, "The risks threatening the global recovery continue to wane."
That's one reason why Ed Clissold, a global strategist with Ned Davis Research, thinks stocks will continue to rally. He thinks stocks are in the early stages of a bull market that began after the Standard & Poor's 500 dropped about 17 percent amid worries about European debt and the U.S. debt-ceiling debate last summer and early fall.
"Stocks aren't a great value, but they aren't bad," he said.
Based on the past 12 months' earnings, the price of the S&P 500 is about 16.2 times earnings, or about the average median price for the market during the last 48 years.
Although some analysts have worried because profit expectations for stocks are declining, Clissold said stock prices can go up even if earnings stay within the more subdued range analysts expect. Even small-cap stocks, which are pricier than large stocks, are not so pricey that they cannot rise as the U.S. economy shows signs of strengthening, he said.
Stocks are being propelled, said Clissold, by the massive flow of money into the system from central banks, including the U.S., Europe and Japan. The money is being pumped into the system to avert any type of financial crisis and to stem recessionary threats. That money must go somewhere, and investors are inclined to put it into stocks because yields on U.S. bonds are so low, Clissold said.
Meanwhile, Clissold noted "an oil shock could be a game changer." And that's what investors are on alert for now, as Iran has said it is cutting off sales to France and Britain while the U.S. and European Union impose sanctions related to Iran's nuclear buildup.
Crude oil rose to a nine-month high of almost $106 a barrel Tuesday. That's still far below the $147 that stunted economic growth in 2008, but some analysts are worried that if Iran disrupts oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, prices could spike again. Meanwhile, if investors worry about oil supplies, those concerns, at least initially, could lift Exxon Mobil and Chevron stock prices and give a lift to the Dow.

Faulty provisional ballots aren't Husted's fault

As a member of Ohio Voter Integrity Project, I attended last Monday's highly publicized and politicized Board of Elections meeting in Hamilton County.

I am absolutely baffled why we would have someone who is a common "thug" and the polar opposite of the kind of poll worker we should have working, making sure our voters are properly registered and our votes properly counted….just once. Who knows how many people Melowese Richardson has improperly registered to vote in our […]

1. Case Keenum will get his welcome to the NFL moment
I'm a big fan of the newest Texans quarterback Case Keenum, but he really hasn't had a bad game in his first two starts of his career. This week, without his head coach on the sideline, I believe this could be the game that Keenum gets his "welcome to the NFL moment."
This will be the game he'll throw his first interception, as they Texans' running game consists of a running back with four broken ribs and two others who have some or very little NFL experience, so he'll have to throw the ball a lot. With more pass attempts, he'll eventually make a mistake.
This could be a long day for Keenum as the Cardinals' defensive backs are pretty good.

Written by:
The languages of Night are soft;
And She Who Is the Night abides -
Her names are in them all.
Empathy most absolute,
This Lady in the Tiger's eye
And by the Tiger's side.
Earth born at Dusk to willow gray,
To midnight sable in full array
And black again to opal's play,
The dialects remain unchanged:
Summer twilight murmurings...
Autumn wind on black water
Irresolute and resolute
This tactile weave of different tongues,
Where tangled streaks of fire and smoke
Flash inward
Suspended like precious gems
All captured in the net of stars
She casts across Her sky.
And the stars....
They are but jewels
Shining in the dark
Shining through Her hair....
Speak softly all the languages of Night;
In darkened rooms imagining
Touch another in the velvet of her gown
Sing softly in the ecstacy of fingertips
When we are less afraid to dream
What cannot be seen
Her rule is brief...
She bids us all to rest before the final storm.
She has so little time to dance the night away
Before She is the Dawn...
Bridde of the first embrace
In universal languages...
And the dance goes on.

Sorry ladies, but you can't all be Angelina Jolie.
You'll be pleased as punch to know that not all the stars are born beauties who look just as pretty sans makeup -- and these poor unpancaked pans are the unvarnished pimply proof.
Oh, Maybelline! Why can't you be true?! Here's why!
Slow newsday? Come on guys, these gals don't look half bad - no worse than anyone else over 18 when they get up in the morning. In fact, I think Jessica Simpson looks better without all that makeup overload she usually has on. Give these ladies a break!
Give us a break!! If you are going to have a ratings contest at least group the beauties by age. Over 60 can't compete with those in their 20's. I wish you TMZ ers would post a group shot so we can see what maggots and uglys are criticizing everyone else.
TMZ you've sunk to a new low. Everybody knows hollywood is all fake.
Whether or not I think this article is mean (i'd hate to have these headlines under my picture), I've discovered one thing: natural (at least natural looking) blonde hair is fine. But if you have even one wrinkle on your face, platinum blonde hair ages a person by about 10 years. Notice Alicia Silverstone has more natural looking blonde hair and yet still looks youthful without make-up.
Why no pictures of Paris Hilton w/o makeup? Again TMZ protects that piece of trash whore.
So who among you plans to NOT get old?
I thought we all read TMZ for sh*t like this!?
Latifa looks good and that is why she is the Queen.
Is Diana Ross Nicole Richie's mother????
One need only to look at pictures when she was in Namibia , to see Angelina Jolie without makeup . Or look at pictures in Haiti when she wa pregnant and traveling with BP and you'll see her without makeup . Sorry for you haters but she is naturally beautiful . I know you want to believe other wise but it isn't so .
More power to them! I just want to know the make up tricks these women are using! Whatever it is...sign me up!
Don't be sorry that not all of us can't look like Angelina Jolie. It is perfectly ok w/me that I don't look like a fish-eyed, p**sy-lipped, husband-stealing, home-wrecking, doesn't-love-real-baby-as-much, wannabe charitable (look @ me, look @ me!!!) *itch. btw how do you people look w/out m/u??
you're right, she doesn't speak as if she loves her biological child as much as her adopted ones. weird chick.
C'mon people...She is 62 freakin years old. Put her or Oprah up against any white women their age that has spent more than 3 days in the sun in their lifetime and the difference would be like night & day. Women here wish they looked like Diana when they reach their sixties or Oprah at 52. The haterade just keeps flowing!!!

It's pretty clear that Google's Android Market is growing quickly and giving Apple some competition. A recent announcement from Google sheds a little more light on the growth of this app store. This past weekend, Google said the Android Market exceeded 10 billion app downloads. The current growth rate is one billion app downloads per month.
These numbers speak well of Android's popularity and Google wants to celebrate. To that end, Google has partnered with some of the Android developers who have contributed to this milestone. Through these partnerships, a number of Android apps will be available for only 10 cents. The set of apps available for this low price will change every day and the sale will last for 10 days.
10 Billion Android Market downloads and counting
12/06/2011 10:03:00 AM - One billion is a pretty big number by any measurement. However, when it's describing the speed at which something is growing, it's simply amazing. This past weekend, thanks to Android users around the world, Android Market exceeded 10 billion app downloads—with a growth rate of one billion app downloads per month. We can't wait to see where this accelerating growth takes us in 2012.
To celebrate this milestone, we partnered with some of the Android developers who contributed to this milestone to make a bunch of great Android apps available at an amazing price. Starting today for the next 10 days, we'll have a new set of awesome apps available each day for only 10 cents each. Today, we are starting with Asphalt 6 HD, Color & Draw for Kids, Endomondo Sports Tracker Pro, Fieldrunners HD, Great Little War Game, Minecraft, Paper Camera, Sketchbook Mobile, Soundhound Infinity and SwiftKey X.
Of course, none of these apps would have existed if it weren't for the developers who created them. Every day, these developers continue to push the limits on what's possible and delight us in the process. For that, we thank them.
Please join us in this 10-day celebration and check in every day to see what new apps our developer partners are making available on Android Market—for only a dime.
Those #'s seem off to me. If the current rate is over 1 billion a month, and they just cleared 10 billion downloads then I'd rather read about the crazy rate at which their downloads per month have been improving. Is there a sudden influx of good apps I'm unaware of, or is the adoption of android devices really escalating?
to 10 billion, and BEYOND! im also glad they are running the 10 cent promo for different apps everyday. Its a cool way to celebrate.
wow.. thats quite the growth.
Congrats to Google for this huge milestone... What a way to celebrate with 10 cent apps lol
Agreed, and I for one am taking full advantage of the 10 cent sale!
Now you're just mashing it!
wish they would have superimposed the amount of current active devices. but good for google. like hell you'd see apple give a half-decent discount.

Went to go buy Swiftkey and it came out to 3.99 when I went to buy it even though it was listed as .10 cents on the market didn't buy it yet lol.
That is a huge growth rate, which iws amazing, but they are pretty far behind apple. apple hit the ten million mark 6 months ago. i would like to see the two graphs and compare them. it would be very enlightning, i feel that app downloads will plateu sometime in april after people have lost the enthusiasm for their tablets but then slowly keep going up as app producers try harder to keep people's attention then it will truley be a great app store.
That's great for Android! How many apps total are available now?

The Baltimore Orioles are an average to slightly-above-average baseball team. As currently constructed and particularly as currently playing, this is a painful truth. And what is their record for the season? 24-23. Yep.
There are a lot of explanations and justifications for this, most of which are legitimate; but they don't change the reality of the opening statement above.
But the deal is this: the hopes were that the 2014 Baltimore Orioles could be a lot better than average and would be good enough to compete at the highest levels. And that is still possible in this season of quantum change in the AL East where TORONTO IS IN FIRST PLACE!
It is all very, very weird.
And the weirdness continued on Saturday afternoon with a 9-0 loss to the Cleveland Indians. Though the Orioles tallied eight base hits, they were sufficiently scattered to never really be a threat to score and get back into the game.
Ubaldo Jimenez had another very poor outing. Though he held the Indians off the scoreboard for the first four innings, he had the characteristic elevated pitch count again, eventually giving up five walks. He was unable to get a single out in the fifth inning, as five consecutive batters reached base. Reliever T.J. McFarland was no better on this day, as two more reached and the Indians tallied five in that fifth inning. All those runs would be charged to the account of Jimenez, while four more Cleveland runs in the seventh inning would be credited to McFarland.
So What Is The Problem?
It is not a simple answer or a single issue. We could sum in up with three "ins" …
1. Injuries
Though the Baltimore Orioles are far from alone in this category, they have indeed been affected negatively by the loss of a number of key players.
We knew that Manny Machado would not really be replaced until he returned, and though he has brought back with him the great defense, not surprisingly his hitting and timing has been inconsistent at best.
It has often been speculated as to what the cost in performance of the team would be if the Orioles did not have Matt Wieters. We may be finding that out right now, and we may be finding it out for a long time to come if this situation turns into a Tommy John surgery. Though Steve Clevenger and Caleb Joseph have provided very solid catching, their offensive production seriously pales in comparison to the wonderful start on the season that Wieters had put together at the plate. It is a shame that this injury has come at such a time.
Chris Davis had his turn on the DL, though he looks to be returning to better form. J.J. Hardy avoided the DL, though he missed a good bit of time earlier in the year. And now Tommy Hunter is on the list.
Again, everybody deals with this, though it was thought that the Baltimore Orioles had more depth built into the system to deal with this better than has been the reality. It is one thing to have Ryan Flaherty, Jonathan Schoop, and Clevenger or Joseph in the eighth and ninth holes with a performing lineup one through seven; but when too many pieces are missing or underperforming, the order loses a lot of its teeth.
2. Inconsistent Play
It has so often seemed that when the Orioles hit will, the pitching struggles; or just about the time the Birds get a one-run, seven-inning start, the offense puts up nothing. The Orioles actually have the second highest batting average in the American League, along with the third most hits. Their pitching statistics are also, in the big picture of things, right around the league average. For example, they have given up 4.30 runs-per-game, whereas the AL average is 4.33.
One would expect a bit better overall record given the paragraph above, though again, the pitching and hitting has not been in concert on so many occasions.
Also, there is the issue of the home/away record. They are 10-12 at home and 14-11 on the road. When have we ever seen this sort of disparity with the Orioles?
3. Insufficient Performance
We don't need to look much beyond today to see insufficiency in performance. Ubaldo Jimenez has so far this season evidenced the validity of the reticence of the Orioles management to give large free agent contracts to pitchers. A record of 2-6 and 4.98 ERA is not what the Birds thought they were buying.
David Lough has been a bust in left field, especially after looking so good in spring training. I cannot understand this, as there was every reason to believe he would really thrive in Baltimore.
Also, the second base and utility infield production has not been what was anticipated and hoped for coming out of the spring.
And everyone knew the starting pitching was somewhat likely to struggle with getting deep into games. This has been a mixed bag of performance, and just when it has seemed that perhaps a corner has been turned on this, we have the recent outings of Jimenez today and Chris Tillman's recent one-inning start.
Adam Jones has truly come alive at bat, Nick Markakis has answered many critics with his .300 average, and where would the Orioles be without Nelson Cruz? But this has not been enough.
So, all in all, the bad news is that the Orioles are only a game over .500 at this point, though the good news is that the Blue Jays are the only team ahead of them, the Yankees have had an equal struggle, and the Red Sox and Rays are dredging the basement. It is not a lost cause, but this squad with all its talent needs to be better than slightly above average.

This Sunday, Ellen DeGeneres will host the 86th annual Academy Awards. People all over the world will be watching with baited breath, as the winner for best wardrobe is announced. Historically, my favorite movies don't even get a second look from those snobs in the academy. I mean, come on…Happy Gilmore should have won the award for best picture in 1996; clearly Adam Sandler was robbed.
The Academy Awards have had some great winners in the past, but I'm not so sure a movie about a talking phone should be counted among the greats of Hollywood. Oh, calm down you hipsters, I'm sorry I offended your sensitive sensibilities. So, as you prepare to watch the Oscars this year, take a moment to walk down memory lane with the staff of Lightly Buzzed, as we share our favorite movies of yore.
