Mexico City HotelsVast, sprawling, crowded, chaotic, and colorful – Mexico City is truly one of the most thrilling destinations on the planet, an all-out assault on the senses that will leave you breathless and quite possibly besotted. It's impossible to take in all this grand metropolis has to offer in one visit – there are more museums than anywhere else in the world; an amazing wealth of historical landmarks and buildings, including the largest cathedral in Latin America; amazing cuisine from every corner of the globe; and legendary nightlife, with a seemingly endless supply of places to party until dawn.Things to seeThe Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral is an architectural masterpiece, that fuses Baroque, Neoclassical, and Renaissance elements to jaw-dropping effect. Having been lovingly restored to its original magnificence after decades of damage and subsidence, the church today is an awe-inspiring sight to behold. Its choir is a particular highlight, packed with treasures from the Spanish Empire's Asian colonies. Chapultapec Park is one of the world's largest city parks, a lush green oasis in the heart of the urban sprawl, with marble walkways, tranquil ponds, and elegant fountains. It's also home to a fine zoo, and some of the city's most popular museums, such as the Modern Art Museum and the Natural History Museum. Thrill-seekers and families with kids won't be able to resist a trip out of town to Six Flags Mexico. Latin America's largest amusement park boasts heart-stopping rollercoaters, fun carnival rides, and countless games and amusements, guaranteed to keep visitors of all ages enthralled.Hotels in Mexico CityThere's an incredible wealth of hotels in Mexico City, ranging from bargain backpacker hostels to the most lavish 5 star resorts imaginable. The city's finest hotels offer world-class amenities such as full service health spas, state-of-the-art fitness centers, and palatial parlors serving afternoon tea and champagne cocktails. Rooms are likely to include marble ensuite bathrooms with deep soaking tubs, luxury robes and bed linen, and giant plasma TVs. If your budget won't stretch to that, it's perfectly easy to find a room in a first-rate mid-range hotel for a very reasonable price. You can expect amenities such as swimming pools, spa tubs, business facilities, and a range of appealing dining options.Where to stayThe upscale, culturally diverse residential district of Polanco is where you'll find some of Mexico's hippest hotels, designer fashion boutiques, and gourmet restaurants serving imaginative fusion cuisine. It's also a nightlife and culture hotspot, with cutting edge galleries and effortlessly sleek cocktail bars. The Zona Rosa is a lively district, hugely popular with tourists and locals alike. It's long been established as one of the best places in town for evening entertainment, and has a thriving gay community. It has, however, in recent years been surpassed by the Condesa and Roma district as the coolest part of town. Here you'll find quirky independent shops and an amazingly diverse dining scene, as well as some fantastic Art Deco architecture.How to get to Mexico CityBenita Juarez International Airport is Mexico's busiest airport, offering flights to and from over 100 destinations around the world. From here it's just 5km to Downtown Mexico City – you can make the journey by taxi or Metro train. Licienciado Adolfo Lopez Mateos Airport is 50 kilometers from Mexico City, and offers low-cost flights from major Mexican destinations such as Monterrey, Cancun, and Tijuana.

Front And Center - Leadership Critical To Managing Change
Free registration required
Executive Summary
When change is imposed (as in downsizing scenarios), clearly the most important determinant of "Getting through the swamp", is the ability of leadership to...well, lead. If you are to manage change effectively, you need to be aware that there are three distinct times zones where leadership is important. These three time zones are: preparing for the journey, slogging through the swamp, and after arrival. Playing a leadership role in the three phases is not easy. Not only do you have a responsibility to lead, but as an employee yourself, you have to deal with your own reactions to the change, and your role in it. However, if you are ineffective in leading change, you will bear a very heavy personal load.

Review this movie
Sep 1, 2014Take Shelter is a thriller that doesn't utilize scare tactics, but instead terrifies us with emotional dread and an enthralling story. Michael Shannon gives the performance of his career, alongside strong newcomer Jessica Chastain.
Aug 3, 2013The movie restrains itself, making most of the film quite slow, but then it unleashes into an unsettling, terrifying tour de force. Michael Shannon is once again amazing, and Jessica Chastain is quickly becoming one of the finest actresses out there.
Jul 28, 2013Curtis, the main character, is so insane that by the end of the movie I was starting to lose it. In some ways with his insanity it hid the dull and lifeless parts of the rest of the film and the fact that Michael Shannon couldn't make me care about his character.
Jul 4, 2013Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. Or in the case of Curtis, that scary storms aren't out to get you. This is a small film but with superb acting that understandably won't appeal to everyone. Pace is deliberate, to say the least. and not that much really happens. It truly will grip and haunt you if you know someone who's struggled w/ mental illness thanks to brilliant portrayals by Shannon, Chastain and Baker. And you'll want to talk to someone about the ending!… Expand
Apr 5, 2013A la manière d'un M. Night Shyamalan des grands jours, Nichols joue avec nos peurs les plus profondes, sacrifiant tout artifice visuel au bénéfice d'une famille simple, avec ses problèmes et ses moments de bonheur, au bord de la rupture. Si la léthargie des personnages peut faire bailler, le suspense ainsi que le magnifique orage qui sert de toile de fond au scénario devraient vous scotcher jusqu'au bout. Michael Shannon est un très grand, il est plus que temps d'ouvrir les yeux sur son indéniable talent. Hypnotique et fascinant, du pur cinéma … Expand
Mar 13, 2013Take Shelter is the story of one man's quest to protect his family from an impending storm. Curtis (Shannon) begins to have premonitions that a storm is coming to destroy his world. These premonitions become so real that Curtis begins to prepare a shelter for the storm. Curtis is also fully aware that his premonitions may not be real. At the same time he is preparing his shelter he is also seeking help for what may just be delusions.
This is the strength of Take Shelter. This film is superbly acted, and the story is laid out with precision. Going through the struggle with Curtis and his family is tense and mesmerizing. We know early on that Curtis is having these premonitions, but the way way Nichols unfolds the story, we are never quite sure when the real storm is coming.
While I enjoyed many aspects of Take Shelter I didn't connect with it in the way I do in films I enjoy the most. Usually I know immediately why I don't connect emotionally with a film, with Take Shelter I am having a hard time pinpointing the reason. Overall I think the story just feels a little dry, and although the tone of the movie is pretty tense the stakes just never felt as high as they could. A fine film, and a worthy watch, but in the end average.… Expand
Feb 22, 2013A very important movie about the financial problems of our days (not just in America, but also in Europe). It is also a movie about the importance of family (the only shelter that can protect you). Brilliant performances from all cast members. Highly recommended.
Dec 6, 2012One of the best films of 2011. A brilliant film in every way. Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain give Oscar caliber performances in this emotional drama. The last 30-40 minutes are some of the most intense I've ever seen. I absolutely loved it!
Aug 10, 2012Powerful, with an overwhelming sense of dread throughout as you watch the protagonist slowly descend into madness. Keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout and doesn't reveal its cards until a ridiculously shocking conclusion.
Jul 12, 2012I am diagnosed with Bi-polar. I have been around many people with Schizophrenia and have talked with them about it. I have yet to meet anyone yet who has said they have the hallucinations that people have in these movies that try to sympathize with people with mental illness. Even a Beautiful Mind, another train wreck of a movie that makes portrays mental illness symptoms in Hollywood form, a.k.a., a fairy tale. They don't exist. After watching this movie I am again insulted with the way this is all represented. Even the fighting with his friend is very phony. And no one possibly could get the ending of this movie cause it has an infinite amount of possibilities on what it could actually mean. I am glad I downloaded this movie and didn't waste my money renting it, or wasted a Netflix slot. As far as the acting, I didn't think that Michael Shannon's job was very difficult when I thought about it. He usually just has a blank face. Emotionless. Who couldn't do that? This is one of those movies that critic's like because it's a very different kind of movie. Maybe if they would have turned around and seen have the audience sleeping it would have altered there final scores. Only reason I gave it a 1 is because I did like a few of the camera shots. A few were memorable. But too movie as a movie whole. It isn't very memorable.… Expand
Jun 23, 2012Great movie! I started to believe that the main character was going crazy. I started feel the pain he was going through. I felt scared for his family members, and when you think what the movie is about. They have a twist at the end of the movie! The movie isnt for everybody, it is "Slow" but, I enjoyed the story to develop slowly.
Jun 22, 2012This movie I wanted to watch a long time ago. The right time came and I watched it. I enjoyed the whole movie, from the beginning to the end. It lasts 2 complete hours, more than enough to make me fall asleep. Moreover I knew it was a very slow moving. But it didn
Jun 9, 2012This doomsday psycho-drama is a precious gem from indie director Jeff Nichols, boosted by an extraordinary acting impetus from Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain pair. A working class point-of-view towards the Armageddon has been laboriously concocted through an ordinary worker's psychosis degeneration and the clashes between him and the mundane world. Comparison with last yearâ
May 22, 2012Shannon is once again a pleasure to watch: a very controlled performance of a guy on the brink of insanity, a person dealing with his demons, a person in dispair... A very unsettling story told brilliantly from a promising young director.
May 13, 2012Great story, different and presents the most realistic character's paranoia, which Shannon knew how to handle and leave with good acting, but Jessica Chestain, my god, she is tremendous, what I loved most were the dialogues and how they managed to give you the feeling you want. very good!
Apr 1, 2012Take Shelter is movie about family, dream, fear, power, disaster, supernatural, logic an what you could describe about it. Dazzling performance by two its lead, Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain. It could be better and the **** is "shake" your logic.
Mar 30, 2012Most boring, slow paced movie I've stuck with hoping things would change, but alas - NOT. The broody thing got old fast and the mental illness vs. cosmic connection to nature of sorts just didn't work. Felt cheated for sticking through to the end... and why would you want to go broke, lose job, etc. adding on to a perfectly adequate concrete storm cellar... oh yeah, do you think you would stand around exchanging I-told-you-so nods in the face of the events shaping up in the final scene? blah!… Expand
Mar 14, 2012This review contains spoilers. Take Shelter is simply the best movie of last year.
First of all, the couple Shannon-Chastain is irresistible, with, as usual, a breathtaking performance by the one that use to date Eminem's mom in 8 Miles. Jeff Nichols shows us once more that he definitely a director to have a look on for the future, i'm thinking if he keeps doing on such great pieces of art, he'll become popular and brillant such as Nolan or Lumet !
Last year dramas were not specially good i think (example : Shame), with predictable plot, nothing happening.. Well, if you're thinking as i do, go ahead and have a look at Take Shelter, a movie you can't even describe.
During the movie, you can't tell whether Curtis (Shannon) is becomming a fool, or if an apocalyptic tragedy is about to occur. And that's all the 'magic' about this one. Curtis coworker and friend, Dewart (Shea Whigham) is here to make us wonder about Curtis as he follows Curtis' fall into madness. It's like Dewart's character was made to remind us that an apocalypse would never happen, trying to get this idea in Curtis' head, in vain.
Now i'm going to stop writing about Take Shelter, cause i don't want to spoil anything for anyone but i'm gonna end by saying that Nichols' movie deserve all the critical acclaim it have had since his release.
9/10, JohnW67.… Collapse
Mar 14, 2012Woah... No idea where that came from, but it is of an impeccable quality. Cinematography is gorgeous (once more, Jessica Chastain receives lighting like nobody else), Michael Shannon is breathtakingly solid, and I've been in some moments completely freaked out. Unquestionably, something grandiose happens in these 120 minutes. May seem a bit long and tedious in the middle, but trust me, it deserves that you hang on till the end.… Expand
Mar 8, 2012I really, really don't understand why this movie scored so highly with the critics. If I had to choose one word to describe it, it would be 'tedious'. It was like watching a reenactment of someone's uninteresting (although unfortunate) life, with a few interesting dreams thrown in. I was waiting for the movie to begin all the way through until it ended.
Mar 6, 2012slow and spiritless. the entire movie labors to reach the pinnacle ending which is anticlimactic. you will feel cheated.
Mar 2, 2012A boring film with above average acting, nice effects, and a story that grabbed me at the beginning, then lost a little bit at a time, right up to the predictable ending. It just wasn't fun, the only root was for the daughter. Some nice marks for the loving wife who puts up with it all. Is it faith, mental illness, or actually "the prime mover"? Although there is evidence for all three, I never found out and didn't care to form my own opinion because Mr. Shannon couldn't make me care. In the end not quite a poor film, so a C-.… Expand
Feb 29, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think you're gonna either hate it or love it. I loved it. Especially the ending, because it got me thinking about how many dream/visions he had that were true (or going to come true, like furniture suspended in mid air if your whole house blows away!). Like his best friend attacking him. Notice his wife was only in ONE dream, she didn't do anything AND THAT WAS WHAT TERRIFIED HIM! I hope there's a sequel to this movie, because they have to try to get back to that shelter... and fast. And everyone is going to try to bust in on him and his daughter.… Expand
Feb 24, 2012Perhaps too drowsy in pace for some, "Take Shelter" is not easy to enjoy; it's a ponderously, slow simmer that yearns for one's admiration, while never losing the viewer's interest. The film echoes a sense of dread and anxiety, channeling Shannon's dark, slightly unhinged, sullen aura, his trademark loomy stature and coarse features; he brings to life a "Curtis" character who is so malleable in his purpose, that no one can tell what's to happen next. Moreover, it feels as if what the audience is seeing has much more depth, as if another layer of subtext is just waiting to show itself. Nichols paints a portrait that is both astounding and riveting to hold on to, grimmacing and shuddering uneasily with anticipation and pent-up apprehension, driven by self-discovery, and down-right frightening in the most eerie of feelings. Although it is Shannon that reels in arguably the best performance of his career, more than worthy of an Oscar nomination, Chastain is incidentally moving, though mostly captured in her spot-lighted contemplation and worry. Notwithstanding near impeccable casting, editing, musical accompaniment, and cinematography, not all will appreciate "Take Shelter" due to its slothlike pace, frustratingly ambiguous, conflicting religious and metaphysical themes and interpretations, and its crazed, schizophrenic sequences. Pack plenty of whitey-tighties, because this one's a nightmare.… Expand
Feb 21, 2012Not a disaster movie, just a depressing movie that doesn't make sense with no escapism factor. They tacked a cheesy ending on it because they knew no one would want to see this movie if it was honest about itself.
Feb 20, 2012This movie reminds me of a mostly forgotten film from the '80's called the Rapture starring Mimi Rogers. I think anyone who saw that movie remembers it quite vividly for its uniqueness and its compellingly honest take on evangelical apocalyptism. This is a great movie for the times and I'm sure we'll remember it ten or twenty years from now (unless the world ends before then, ha). Both leads are excellent, yes, it does tax the patience a bit in parts but it also delivers some unique twists and turns in its two hours. I liked it, I recommend it.… Expand
Feb 19, 2012I must say, this film took me by surprise. Its slow pace, haunting, strange and heavy ambiance makes it slightly tough to watch, but increasingly addictive the more you do watch it. I cannot say more. It's a must see for anyone with an open mind and taste for originality.
Feb 17, 2012Shannon & Chastain are remarkable in this film. It is in these performances that keep the film grounded and engaging. Shannon portrays a man that is truly terrified, down the the very fiber of his being.....and even when everyone else in the film doubts him, he still draws belief from the audience. I found myself wondering the whole film, "What if he is right?" Throughout the entire film, that question contains far too grave of repercussions to merit dismissal, which makes this film engaging to the very last moments.… Expand
Feb 15, 2012Curtis has a good life: a loving wife, a daughter and a job with decent benefits. His nights as of late have been sleepless. Inescapable storms and faceless people linger threateningly in his dreamscape. He awakes, short of breath and covered in sweat.
Nothing is quite as frightening as the sight of a tornado cloud. No matter how far we run, a storm cloud will cover the distance. It is as if God's fury is actively playing out against us. If a storm were to hit tomorrow Curtis and his family would have no place to hide. Leaving his family in a gulch is no substitute for a storm plan so Curtis takes steps to update the shelter he has out back. It may cost some money, but they can't go without.
As plans are made without consulting his wife, Samantha (Jessica Chastain) everyone around him begins to worry. Loans are signed, money they don't have is spent on plywood. His mother slipped into psychosis at a similar age, is he going already? Mental illness or not, he won't give up his family. He can't be losing his mind, he's just providing for his family. To add to Curtis's distress, he can't seem to separate his dreams from reality. The editing of Take Shelter seamlessly blends the horrors of Curtis's nightmares with the minutiae of work, signing lessons and Lion's Club dinners.
Michael Shannon is a revelation as a man unraveling at a frenzied pace. He is primarily a character actor, but given a leading role in Jeff Nichols's second effort he mesmerizes. The pain in Shannon's eyes as he finds himself apologizing for one thing after another breaks your heart. The odds are unlikely of Shannon and Fassbender garnering Oscar nods, but one can hope.
Speaking of great performances, Jessica Chastain hands in yet anotherâ… Expand
Feb 14, 2012Excellent. If you enjoyed Donnie Darko you will enjoy this. The ending, whilst confusing at first, makes sense when you think about it. A very very enjoyable movie.
Feb 4, 2012A masterful film with subtle direction red hairings and a multitude of suspense. The director slowly build his suspense throuought the film until it's climax. However after the climax comes a revelation that is not only startling but also intriguing. This event causes one to rethink everything he has just saw. I thought WOW!
Jan 29, 2012What an outstanding movie it was, i was looking forward to watch it from the very beginning. I must say this is a good psychological drama which feels quite appropriate in a sense that the family portrayal is quite real and all of it looks close to the reality. Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon performed superbly, few times it stumbles a bit but overall good movie.
Dec 15, 2011I saw this last night, but upon my return I couldn't put into words what I thought of the film. Now I think I can. This film is a wonderful character study. You have this man named Curtis who has these vivid nightmares that suggest the world is going to end. He eventually becomes convinced that the nightmares are a prophecy for things to come. He takes drastic action to protect his family, so drastic that it threatens to rip his life apart. His wife thinks he's going crazy, even he thinks he might be going crazy. But he still continues on because he truly believes in what he's doing. I found this conflict fascinating, and the question that writer/director Jeff Nichols leaves us with is equally compelling. Is Curtis a paranoid schizophrenic or is he a prophet? The ending doesn't give you the answers you're looking for. This isn't the kind of film that's wrapped up in a nice tiny ribbon. It forces you to think. The performances are also terrific here. Michael Shannon really allows us to see the conflict brewing in Curtis. We can connect with his doubts as he makes decisions a sane person probably wouldn't make. Overall, this movie isn't for everybody. It's definitely an independent film in the sense that the pace is slow and the movie ends ambiguously, but for those of you looking for a film that will stick with you for days, be sure to check this one out.… Expand
Dec 5, 2011Poorly directed, too long, and done on the cheap. Trying to build suspense has rendered the film boring. I should have spend my money on the muppets.
Dec 4, 2011This movie was so horrible it compelled me to join this site just so I could review it. Everyone better "take shelter" from this mess of a movie. In a theater of 20 people on a cold Sunday night, 10 people, including me, walked out within the first hour. The entire first hour consisted of no plot development. Every 10 minutes this guy was having nightmares, and the only purpose of these dreams was apparently to scare the sh*t out of the audience. By the third nightmare, I was over it. Based on the spoilers I've read, apparently this crap just continues the entire length of the movie. It's a 15 minute plot spread out for what feels like an eternity. Clearly there must be someone in this movie --- either an actor, or someone behind the scenes --- who has a cult following, as it would be the only explanation as to why it has such high ratings on here. It was one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. If you want to see great acting and "cinematography", or whatever the hell else people are saying is so great about this movie, you'd be better off seeing a movie whose writing didn't suck. MESS!… Expand
Nov 29, 2011Take Shelter is one of the most poignant and disquieting films Iâ
Nov 22, 2011There is masterful filmmaking at work here, this is true. Cinephiles will love the cinematography, editing, and what may be at one point an homage to Magnolia. You'll know what I mean when you see it. To address the criticisms, or at least to elaborate upon what they are alleging is something which "undoes" film via its ending, I should first point out that this film is not about an entire family. It's about a particular man's relationship with his family. Where there are complaints that he does not 'connect' with his daughter, or that we do not see her characterized with as much depth as the other primary actors, misses the point. Her characterâ… Expand
Nov 15, 2011This is a masterfully made movie- the acting is spot on, the writing is great, the cinematography and special effects are both wonderful especially considering the small budget- but what makes this movie great is that it really has a human feel to it. This movie precisely depicts the raw human emotion experienced by loved ones when dealing with mental illness. Truly one of the best of the year!
Nov 15, 2011Great acting by Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain accompanied with great storytelling by Jeff Nichols makes this movie one the year's must sees. Also a subtle but wonderful score, which intensifies the suspenseful moments even that much more. This movie will stick with you for a few days, it's that good!
Nov 12, 2011Simply moving film. From beginning to end the entire audience was silent and engrossed in what was happening on screen. Michael Shannon did an incredible job, as always. My only fault was the pacing. I felt it worked for the movie, and speeding things up would have only hurt, but it was still slow and drawn out.
Nov 8, 2011Michael Shannon is making a career out of playing dramatic, on-the-edge characters. This time, he's having a gradual encounter with mental illness, He suffers from disturbing nightmares and hallucinations that threaten his safety, while trying to hold down a job and be a good father/husband. There's an involving story here, but almost every scene takes too long to unfold. This means the movie is slow and frustrating, although the weather effects are well done.… Expand
Nov 7, 2011Take Shelter is an amazing mystery of a film with outstanding performances by Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain. Director Jeff Nichols keeps his film tense and disturbing all the way through. He lets the madness slowly start to come in until it kicks the door wide open with brutal force. The film is a true battle between reality and fantasy, and Nichols creates the perfect mixture of suspense, drama, and insanity to feed it. Take Shelter is a horror film unlike any other because it has nothing to do with monsters or ghosts. Instead this film allows a feeling of terror to overwhelm us that is familiar and much closer to home.
Curtis LaForche (Shannon) is a hard-working father and husband who lives in a small town in Ohio. Samantha (Chastain) is his beautiful wife who you can tell is completely in love with him, and they have a young daughter named Hannah (Tova Stewart) who is deaf. They live paycheck to paycheck and most of their money is spent on their daughterâ… Expand
Nov 6, 2011A haunting, well acted and near flawless meditation on our national anxiety. The pitch perfect tone and pace invite the viewer to participate fully, and have a stake in the proceedings. Rich, rewarding and worthwhile.
Nov 2, 2011Part midwest drama, part horror flick, and part apocalyptic epic, the independent film Take Shelter, by newcomer writer/director Jeff Nichols, has somehow managed to fly under the pop culture radar. This is not to say that critics haven't taken notice. This small film has been lapping up awards at film festivals such as Cannes, Sundance, and Toronto and, in my estimation, it deserves every one.
The film introduces us to Curtis, played by Michael Shannon, a loving father and husband who has become plagued with dreams of a coming storm. Fearful that he might have inherited his mother's schizophrenic behavior, Curtis walks a paranoid line, preparing for catastrophe while questioning his own sanity. It's a modern day tale of Noah and his Ark.
What makes this film stand out is its subtlety. There are plenty of blood-chilling moments, but unlike modern horror flicks, we are not berated with the obvious or the gory. The nightmares are just as haunting as they are disturbing.
In addition to this, the story of Curtis and family, living a simple midwestern life, is also engaging. The characters are real and you can feel a real emotional connection in this drama.
Because of all of these things, as well as a few surprises that I won't mention, I consider Take Shelter to be the best film I have seen this year. I do not expect it to remain unnoticed among the general public for much longer. The clouds are building. Soon, the storm will break.… Expand
Oct 31, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For about 110 minutes I really did not like this movie. But the last 10 really saved it for me. The funny thing about it is that's the most controversial. Some people really liked it until then, but for me the ending was key. But I guess it's all about what you took the ending to mean. Was Curtis crazy or was the apocalypse forthcoming? That I think is the key to loving or hating this. Outside of the ending it was a beautiful film with incredible acting and tension throughout. I had never seen Jessica Chastain before and only knew of Michael Shannon and Shea Wigham from Boardwalk Empire, but all three blew me away. If beautifully shot movies and good acting with thin story lines are your thing then you will love this. But if you need constant action to keep your interest and hate movies like Drive then this is a pass.… Expand
Oct 31, 2011A darker FIELD OF DREAMS, this film took me about 45 minutes to get into. Once it became focused it shined. Not a great film in any cinematic sense, but the central performance by Michael Shannon is earth-shattering. There is a sensitivity in his nuanced mannerisms to early onset schizophrenia. I was also impressed with the positive light treatment and family support play in this character's tragedy. It is oddly uplifting and inspiring.… Expand
Oct 29, 2011Similar to Polanski's "Repulsion", this is a psychological tour-de-force, but on a grander scale. In contrast, Chastain and Shannon's performances are beautifully-restrained, with the exception of a couple appropriate scenes. Though everything wasn't perfect - the VFX (birds) were questionable, at times - the acting was spot-on and the sound cues/music set-up the dread perfectly. Frankly, I loved the story. If you haven't read a lot about it, leave it that way until you've seen the film. To me, the greatest scene wasn't the ending, but the scene where Shannon warns the community about the pending storm. Not since "There Will Be Blood" was there that much intensity in a scene and it was invigorating to see it on-screen. For those that don't like this or "Drive", they don't appreciate great direction. Don't miss this one, especially in theaters. It's quietly disturbing.… Expand
Oct 23, 2011I wish I had read some of these user reviews before going to see the movie. Manipulative is the key criticism. The film-makers toy with viewer's emotions without grounding the plot in any real insights into human nature or interpersonal dynamics.
Oct 23, 2011Please don't waste your time or money on this clunker. It would have made a nice 1 hour Twilight Zone episode, but nothing more or better than that. A groaner of an ending. ``YGHhhhhh - wish I stayed home
Oct 23, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow is this movie overrated. There are some things to admire: the actors are all very good and the cinematography is outstanding. But, somehow it doesn't quite work. I'll point out one element that seems dishonest and safe: having the daughter be hearing-impaired means that the filmmaker doesn't have to really give her a point of view. That is dishonest because of course she has emotions. She just sits like a sweet little cherub (and she is adorable). But, she is given no room to react to the craziness around her. Kids have personalities too. Key scenes that show this: We get to see some of her spunk when she is feeding the dog some of her own breakfast in the opening scene...but later when her father gives the dog away we get no reaction from anyone--not even a mention of it! That shows me the filmmaker wasn't really interested in the real emotions of the family members. The whole film felt designed to get good reviews, but it felt very manipulative to me.… Expand
Oct 21, 2011Heard this movie did an incredible job of visually depicting his growing madness, and I wasn't disappointed. Excellent movie, excellent acting, found a few soft holes in the script, especially the interaction with his brother, but all in all a very good film. Great camera work.
Oct 17, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a mostly well executed movie that is completely undone by its ending, which essentially turns the film into an offensive parody of mental illness. If the hook had been delivered as they emerged from the shelter, it would have worked. But after they spoke with the doctor it crossed the line.… Expand
Oct 14, 2011Curtis (Michael Shannon) is having bad dreams. Bad dreams are a bit low key to accurately describe what he dreams at night; absolute night terrors works better. He dreams his faithful dog suddenly attacks him and takes a chunk out of his arm and later he dreams his best buddy stabs him with a pickax. There is no warning these events would ever occur in reality, but for some reason, Curtisâ… Expand
Oct 2, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is an incredibly good film which I absolutely would NOT recommend to everyone. It's a remarkably sensitive portrayal of a family dealing with paranoid schizophrenia over a couple of generations. I don't think I've seen Jessica Chastain or Michael Shannon in a better role, and that says a lot because I think each have done outstanding work (Revolutionary Road, Boardwalk Empire, The Help, Tree of Life). I also have to mention Shea Whigham. He's such an effective actor - brings so much to every movie he's in, including All the Real Girls, Boardwalk Empire, and The Bad Lieutenant: PONO. Loved his take on Shannon's best friend.… Expand
Sep 30, 2011Am I losing my mind? Between this and the critical approbation showered on that dismal turkey DRIVE, hackneyed phrase be damned, 'cuz here it's appropriate - just WHAT are you folks smoking?? As far as this flick, I'll at least spot you the performances in this one... the very busy Jessica Chastain is remarkable; like Julia Roberts, but with talent. And Michael Shannon anchors this thing in a huge way... any suspense generated in this rather ponderous tale is generated by him and him alone. He is somehow capable of generating heartbreaking warmth and a sense of deep menace simultaneously. Kudos to them, but otherwise, this thing takes a loooooong time to travel virtually nowhere.… Expand
Terrific. Michael Shannon delivers a fractured everyman who'll stay with you long after the final frame.
All in all, Nichols ends up with a richly drawn, and at times disturbing, portrait of one man's descent into madness.
Shannon's powerfully imploded performance ignites one of the best films of the year.

Arcata -- Sara Borok, DFG marine biologist out of Arcata who handles creel counts at the Klamath says "The fish are in." Several MyOutdoorBuddy sources confirmed this and provided a lot of very positive news including a jack count that makes next year look more promising. Sara wrote:
...Just got a call from the river crew...lots of fish are in!!!
We are starting to pick up more salmon this week. There are still lots of jacks or Chinook under 22 inches being caught. That's real good news for next year. The quota is up to a whole 113! [Meaning a lot more salmon can still be caught before the quota is filled.] There have been 439 jacks harvested. There haven't been a whole lot of steelhead harvested, but anglers released 1,063 half pounders so far this season.
With all the state budget stuff going on we are short handed, so if anyone wants to come help out on the river...we'd love to have you!"

"…I am a fisherman and we have been out the last two mornings. We landed none but lost one and the other three broke our 20 lb test line. Three of the four fish we actually saw we're in the 25 to 30 lb class. The fourth fish spooled my partner's reel of all line. We observed four fishermen actually land their five fish and they ranged from 20 to 28 pounds. Yesterday numerous fish were breaking the surface in the river for all to see. The Fall run has indeed started in the last few days and is only just beginning.
"When California Fish and Game said the fish are going to be big this year, they were not exaggerating. Approximately 157,000 four year old Chinook Salmon are expected according to Cal Fish & Game in the coming months and they are running a little late as are other species. This is why the
Biggest Salmon Quota in 28 Years on the Klamath River
Kamp Klamath – Aaron Funk, owner of this RV park and campground on the south side of the Klamath River nearest the mouth also sent in a report. Funk is a longtime, dedicated supporter of the Klamath community and the River. He has done all he can to help organize the community's resources so this isolated area prospers during good and bad times.
New Boat Ramp
A recent improvement at Kamp Klamath is a good example. Funk installed a temporary boat ramp at his RV Park this year with room to park 50-plus trucks and trailers. "With the township ramp still out of service, we need this ramp to augment the Roy Rook ramp's limited parking." Funk noted. Improvements are underway weekly.
New Shuttle Service to Mouth
Funk has also initiated a shuttle service that ferries fisherman from the various camps along the river to Klamath Beach at the mouth of the river where most of the salmon are caught.
"We have a tri-hull walk-through jet boat operated by a licensed, river-savvy captain. The boat is based at Kamp Klamath but we're shuttling people from all the riverside campgrounds to the mouth."
See Whales Watching People
"Before this shuttle was available, anglers had to walk for 35 minutes each way in soft sand shore fish the river's mouth. A lot of folks just don't want to – or just can't - make that trek, especially with 30 to 50 pounds of fish in tow. This opens up a great fishing opportunity to a whole new group of anglers. It also enables family members to enjoy this incredible place where the mighty Klamath reaches the mighty Pacific.
"There is no greater drama unfolding along the Redwood Coast than what is happening along Klamath Beach. You can watch thousands of salmon racing upstream through a gauntlet of sea lions, fish hooks and Yurok nets. You can witness an Osprey crash-diving into the waves, struggling back into the air with a small fish or lamprey eel in its talons. You can walk along the beach and watch giant grey whales follow you and glide onto and over incoming waves. You can experience the spectacle of whales watching people watching whales!
"A $20 bill and a simple phone call to 707-482-0227 make it all happen."
Fishing at the mouth has been extremely good, according to Funk and over the Labor Day weekend there will be a huge tidal swing, so he expects things to get very exciting.
"Every fish that comes up this river has to pass through the mouth and if you know what you're doing you will catch fish, especially during a lowering tide. When the tide comes in, you can step over to the ocean side of the sand bar and catch as many as ten red tail surf perch," Funk said.
World Class Surf Fishing
Besides salmon, anglers have been using this area for decades to catch record-breaking red tail surf perch, and lots of them.
"We catch world-class perch here at Klamath Beach and the nearby rocks, Funk said. "We set out a few months ago to catch the biggest perch of three species. Now, the largest recorded striped [rainbow] perch and calico perch have been caught here. Three years ago the record-breaking red tail perch was caught on Klamath Beach. Now we're taking bets that we'll break that record again by the end of September" Funk said. [Floyd Underwood, the holder of the striped perch record, walked into Funk's office during this interview.]
Bigfoot Grill & Tavern Now Open
"We've also obtained our tavern and restaurant licenses here at Kamp Klamath," Funk said. "We have a 1200 square foot deck that overlooks our beautiful meadow and tomorrow morning (Saturday, August 30) we start serving an anglers breakfast. Under the name 'Bigfoot Grill and Tavern,' the restaurant will offer lunches [eat in and take-out box] and themed dinner specials." Nightly highlights will feature Italian and Mexican cuisines, "Turf and Surf", ribs and chicken BBQ, right on down the line. A 42-inch flat screen HDTV and TIVO capture and display adventure videos, sporting events and other special offerings.
Additionally, for the past four years, Kamp Klamath has offered an all-you-can-eat BBQ fresh-caught salmon/chicken dinner on Saturday night with tossed green salad, rice pilaf, and vegetable stir-fry jubilee. There's also a live band and bon fire on Saturday nights. With the addition of the Bigfoot Grill and Tavern guests now have a place to eat out seven days a week and enjoy entertainment on Saturday night.
Yurok Tribe Sets New Rules for Tribal Fishing
Funk had high praise for recent decisions made by the Yurok Tribe. "The Yuroks have decided to close tribal fishing on Wednesdays and Thursdays and between 10 p.m. at 8 a.m. during the remainder of the week. They have also banned drift nets from running down the mouth of the river. It is my understanding that these rules are being successfully self enforced. This is something the Tribes should be proud of and I hope they are getting the praise they deserve," Funk said.
[MyOutdoorBuddy sends its congratulations to the Yuroks for doing what it can to prevent overfishing at this critical time in the run. This is especially significant in light of the fact that the overall Tribal quota was reduced from 41,000 fish to 27,000 fish this year.

I thought you might want a sneak peak at the new quests made so far in Dark Lore Grimoire V2 as I talk about an issue one forum user raised and how I handled it.
Below is a list of quests, all the completed ones are new to Dark Lore Grimoire V2, more at being made for House Telvanni, so this is not a full list of quests that are coming to DLG V2 in the next release. The biggest difference between the Order of the Blackworm and House Telvanni mages is House Telvanni have a much more interesting set of quest options than the Order had, which lets face it typically revolves around raising the dead most of the time.
One user pointed out (rightly) that you more or less join House Telvanni as part of the Dragon Born DLC whilst doing Neloths quests, knowing I would get questions about this, I altered the text on the quests slightly to be clearer about whats happening and will now explain it here for you.
Given that House Telvanni have a strick set of entry requirements that Neloth does not even ask about, it is very very very hard for a lore mod maker to consider a sword hand a member of House Telvanni when nobody even asked him if he could cast any spells at all.
So I consider the Neloth offer as that of being a servant in House Telvanni, his servant, not a mage of House Telvanni, eg one of the ruling class.
In Dark Lore Grimoire, Shurak (Neloths Mouth), tests to see if you have the mage skills House Telvanni wanted in Morrowind. He is making sure you know your mage craft before allowing you join him as a Telvanni Mage, not a servant but a mage. You are going be getting mage related quests, not sword play quests. Everything on offer here follows Morrowinds version of House Telvanni and in many ways improves upon it because its not all goffer quests.
Skyrim may be missing Mysticism, Intelligence and willpower, all things House Telvanni require, but I managed to run the tests against what is in Skyrim, even though Skyrim is stripped down. So your magic skills are going to either open doors or lock them shut for you. Your not getting to join House Telvanni with a sword in this mod, you will have to have some sort of magic skill in the schools they are interested in and at least 150 magicka reserve which is what replaces the intelligence and willpower checks.
There is no mistaking your self as a hired sword here, you know your a Telvanni mage because you will be treated like one.Your not simply joining House Telvanni, and I am not simply accepting another stripped down membership system as being okay, as I had to for the imperials, you are becoming a Telvanni mage here and your going to be facing Telvanni mage issues, such as assassinations, spells, daedra, the works.
This is a morrowind style Telvanni quest line I am making.

I thought you might like to read how I make my mods and outlined the process for the current Telvanni feature in Dark Lore Grimoire as an example for you all. The article is called The Rise of Tel Mithryn and it goes in to detail, some times extremely technical detail surround the thought process that is required to mods like mine. I know for fact 99% of modders do not think this way because 99% of modders have a hard time getting 1 mod to work with other peoples mods, let alone make dozens of mods that will.
So I know this will be a real eye opener for many players that simply have no clue as to the sort of deep thought that goes in to my mods designs. The article includes some of my lore notes for the Telvanni too and an explaination of what these things told me about the Telvanni and how they will effect the mod. That part is interesting even if the rest goes over your head.

I would just like to thank my voice actors who provided the Order of the Blackworm dialog lines, you all exceeded my expectations. Especially given the gap between projects. I really did not expect to get most of the lines done but you came through for me. Another 100% volunteer = lines delivered rate in stead of the usual 9 out of 10 forget they volunteered and leave a project to die rate as seen else where.
Special thanks goes to.
Loki the Weaver, who nailed the part of Morley.
Mr K for several parts.
Euther for taking on the biggest role.
Brewtiful for several parts and a rather fine Khajiit that was going to be an imperial but after hearing this, he suddenly grew a tale :)
And to players reading this, understand, its very rare to have a 100% delivery rate from voice actors, its very rare to get all the voice actors needed for a project, so my voice actors are very special people. Whilst I did several parts my self. I think the success of the VA Guild on the Order of the Blackworm dialog clearly shows a firm hand and a system that does not commit new VA users to doing lines unless they are important lines works best with TES players. Projects get done and time wasters do get a foot hold.
It might even be worth revisiting my Oblivion mods and getting some of the less well acted parts redone.
Now for news of the next project, it will still be Dark Lore Version 2, but this time it will be Telvanni characters that need doing. I believe I come the closest to a traditional Dark Elf voice so I'll probably do most of the voices but any lines that are available will be posted in the Voice actor guild once the quests are done.
There will be these parts initially
1 Slave Merchant (no imperials to enforce the law here lol)
4 Telvanni Mages
Also I am thinking of redoing the Redoran Mercenaries protecting the Telvanni Settlement and there will of course be NPCs added for quests.

Due to popular request, I am adding the Telvanni to Dark Lore Grimoire Version 2 before releasing the mod. Tel Mithryn is being expanded, mostly on the inside with some buildings close to the main mushroom to serve as props for the enlarged settlement. So its impact on Solstheim's worldspace is very small and should only affect the immedate location where the buildings are. As seen in the picture below.
The first step to avoiding conflicts is not to make the edits that cause them.
After some trial and error I managed to get about 10 new interiors for the Telvanni settlement using the 4 rooms available from the Dragon Born DLC. As you know Skyrim is lacking in resources so the DLCs are nessessary but even they do not provide enough so I had to make do. But I think I did pretty frekkin good my self even allowing for the lack of resources. As you can see in the screenshot below, I have added various morrowind style shop banners to the mod to make up for some of the missing stuff.
Currently I have 4 private residences and a room that will either be a slave bit or a jail to do and the NPC creation can begin.
