Hunting spears used by the Aboriginal people are usually made from Tecoma vine. These vines are not straight but in fact curly. To straighten them the maker dries out the moisture by heating the branch over a small fire while it is still green. While doing this he shapes it into the form that he wants. A wooden barb is attached to the spearhead by using kangaroo (sometimes emu) sinew. The opposite end is then tapered to fit onto a spearthrower. On completion the spear is usually around 270 centimetres (9 feet) long. In Aboriginal Art the spear is usually depicted as a straight line with a triangle at one end.
Spearthrowers are also commonly known as Woomera or Miru. The spearthrower is usually made from mulga wood and has a multi- function purpose. It is however primarily designed to launch a spear. The thrower grips the end covered with Spinifex resin and places the end of the spear into the small peg on the opposite end of the spearthrower. The spear can then be launched with substantial power at an enemy or prey. Inserted into the Spinifex resin of the handle of many spearthrowers is very sharp piece of quartz rock. This is used for cutting, shaping or sharpening. The spearthrower was also used as a fire making saw, as a receptacle of mixing ochre, in ceremonies and to deflect spears in battle. In Aboriginal Art the Spear Thrower/Woomera is depicted as what can be seen in this image....
Shields are usually made from the bloodwood of Mulga trees. Aboriginal men using very basic tools make these. They are designed to be mainly used in battle but are also used in ceremonies. Like other weapons, design varies from region to region. Many shields have traditional designs or fluting on them whilst others are just smooth. In Aboriginal art the Shield is depicted as an oval shape with two small oval circles for hand holds. See here....
Boomerangs are also a very multi functional instrument of the Aboriginal people. Their uses include warfare, hunting prey, rituals and ceremonies, musical instruments, digging sticks and also as a hammer.
Boomerangs made in the desert are non-returning and when thrown correctly can reach distances of 160 metres (175 yards). This is nearly three times the distance a fighting club could be thrown. They are usually made from mulga wood and can be smoothed or incised with various designs purporting to that maker or family group. In Aboriginal Art the boomerang is depicted as a 'V' shape or the 'killer boomerang' as a Number 7. See here.....
Clubs are usually always made from mulga wood and can vary in shapes and sizes. Many are fire hardened and some have razor sharp quartz set into the handle with Spinifex resin. They are used in ceremonies, in battle, for digging, for grooving tools, for decorating weapons and for many other purposes. In Aboriginal art paintings fighting clubs are usually depicted the same as digging sticks. See here...

Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
You failed to learn from most of your mistakes.
The elevator trick still works like a charm, making the game much easier. No circles, just ovals. But, worst of all, the stage editor is horrible. There is no way to save your stages, which would have added immense depth to your game. Also, when I select play (I don't know if this happens to everyone), without even right-clicking, the line draws and cannot be broken, which isn't helped by the lack of an erase button. You cannot change the size or speed of or delete anything you spawn, which makes it hard to backtrack when you make a mistake, and also limits creativity. It has no depth, creative properties, or heck, BUTTONS, that it needs to be decent.
There are good things that I liked/noticed. The option to toggle between line colors and songs (thankfully) were some great additions. Also, a lot of the stages were very well thought up.
Unfortunately, the bad outweighs the good. However, I hope to see another installment by you, taking into consideration all that I've mentioned. I guarantee that if you follow my advice, your score will rise. 5/10, 3/5, and some words of wisdom.
To julio67: If I hear from you about this or get a PM, I swear there will be hell to pay!
It is not an elevator "TRICK" it's part of the game.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Great Improvement
As I was playing this game it felt exactly tha same as playing tha first as it had tha same bugs and all, but that pointless but still interesting colour changer helped me to move on.
It was more fun than tha first and the levels were less annoying but it still wasn't as good as it could have been.
Overall it was still a better game than a lot of other stuff on newgrounds and I thank you for taking tha time to make an entertaining game like this.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I finaly completed it!
I'm :
Sad lol =D
nice game!

Gophers have an identity; Tubby points to poise
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — When Minnesota lost star Trevor Mbakwe for the season, skepticism from fans and analysts abounded about the Gophers and their ability to stay in the Big Ten race.
When they started conference play with four straight losses, they were given even less of a chance to catch up and get in position for an NCAA tournament bid.

If you're looking for a blender to really blend well including crushing ice, this is a great blender. It has a 60 ounce capacity so it can hold a lot of ingredients. It is built like a tank so I am pretty sure it will last for years. Overall, the quality and durability is great. Some of the things I don't like: Its too tall to fit underneath my cabinet on top of my counter so in order to have it fit on my counter, I have to take the lid off when not in use. The locking mechanism on the blender is awkward and difficult to unlock. But its probably a good thing to have a locking mechanism for safety reasons. You need to make sure that you unplug the blender before trying to remove the locked pitcher otherwise you can inadvertently turn the blender on while trying to unlock and remove the pitcher.

I love the blender, but am disappointed that the base exterior is plastic
The blender has complete ease of use, washes fast and looks good.I definitely would have preferred a metal base instead of the plastic exterior base which is present.

Comments about KitchenAid 5-Speed Diamond Black Blender:
I bought this two months ago after getting tired of my old blender. Oh my! What a difference! First, it is lovely-looking, but most importantly, I have my morning meal-replacement drink ready for me in seconds! It effortlessly blends my protein powder, spinach leaves, apple, dates, and ice into a smooth concoction in seconds. My only question is why I waited so long to get this! 100% Happy!

By esrozen

I bought this blender to make shakes for myself and I have found myself using it every single day to make sauces, shakes, salsas, and even to chop my fruits and vegetables! Thank you, KitchenAid for making such an incredible product!
Great blender

from Undisclosed
Not heavy, great product as always. So happy with my blender.
By FLOR
from El Paso, TX, United States
I bought this blender about a month ago after debating for a couple of weeks due to some reviews I had read on various sites that said the container was difficult to take off. Since my previous blender was a kitchen aid that belonged to my great grandmother and it had been in the family for over 30 years, I decided to give it a try. I pulled it out of the box the day it arrived and I instantly fell in love. The container is a great size, sturdy, and best of all-it does not have a gasket like my old one. I blended a batch of red chile expecting to have to strain large chunks of pulp, but it was all very well blended. If you are on the fence, try it...you will love it!
powerful and blends well

My wonder machine!
By babyblueiz
from Waynesboro, PA, United States
I bought this at Christmas when all the kids would be home and wanting me to make smoothies. I have since then made all kinds of sauces and gravies with it. I love this kitchen appliance!
So far so good
By Baby Finster
from Georgia, USA
Great product. Looks great works great. And the price point makes it an easy purchase decision on an appliance that should last well over 10 or 15 years.
Great blender!
By CbusStu
from Hilliard, OH, United States
We bought this during Christmas and are extremely satisfied with all facets of this blender. It has even done a better job juicing than another product that we own.
Outstanding features
By Sally Jane
from NC, United States
I purchased this blender about two months ago and am very pleased with it so far. It makes excellent smoothies using frozen fruit, juices and yogurt, so crushing ice is a breeze too.

We're adding indie artists to an Alkaline Trio tribute that's already comprised of established artists in hopes of promoting new talent Read more
We're adding indie artists to an Alkaline Trio tribute that's already comprised of established artists in hopes of promoting new talent
About this project
The idea is simple. Pay homage to an artist that has been influential in the development of countless artists. And the best way to show that respect and to properly pay tribute to an artist like Alkaline Trio is by following a similar path. That being said, we already have an Alkaline Trio cover album comprised of established artists like Allister, Punchline, August Premier, This Time Next Year, Into It. Over It., Jonah Matranga (Far), Ace Enders (The Early November), Joe Wilson, Barely Blind and others. But what we're attempting to do is add quality independent artists in an attempt to showcase some up-and-coming talent.
In essence, we're attempting to get artists that deserve more face time, a little bit more press simply by participating on a compilation that features a number of prominent artists.
I have a list of independent artists that want to participate on this album. Unfortunately there's not enough of a budget secure recording time for these independent artists. So if this budget is met we'll be able to add an additional ten artists (or more) and thus be able to record an additional ten (or more) cover songs on top of the 12 tracks that are already confirmed and in my possession.
Of course this goal isn't meant to gloss over the fact that we also want to add additional artists to the album so that we can cover countless more of our favorite Alkaline Trio tracks.
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.
Pledge $10 or more
32 backers
You'll get a release day copy of the album that'll include 30 to 40 Alkaline Trio cover tracks that will be performed by various artists including; Punchline, Allister, Into It. Over It., This Time Next Year, Ace Enders, Jonah Matranga, August Premier and Joe Wilson.
Pledge $20 or more
14 backers
You'll receive an advanced copy of the album prior to the scheduled release date.
Pledge $175 or more
1 backer
I will add an additional artist to the compilation and accredit you for the creation of the new cover song. Guaranteeing another cover track on the album. As well as your name in the art. You'll also receive an advanced copy of the album prior to the scheduled release date.
Pledge $250 or more
1 backer
An additional artist will be added to the compilation, a new song will be recorded, you'll get accredited for the addition of the new artist and track, you'll get your name in the artwork layout and you'll receive a message from me containing the song you helped fund as well as any available alternative mixes of the song. The personal message containing the song will be sent to you the moment I receive the final mix from the newly acquired artist. Lastly you'll receive an advanced copy of the album prior to the scheduled release date.
Pledge $500 or more
1 backer
You can actually choose an Alkaline Trio song of your choice, that you want to see get covered and we'll find the best possible artist to perform the cover. Once the song is recorded, I'll send you an advanced copy of the track via email with any and all available alternative mixes. Finally you'll receive an advanced copy of the album as well as song and artist accreditation.

The Bulloch Academy varsity girls' basketball team kicks off its 2010-11 season tonight as the Lady Gators welcome eight teams from the Georgia Independent School Association's three classifications to the fifth annual Lady Gator Classic.
The outcome wasn't clear until the final minute, but Statesboro will live on to fight another week.
MACON - Bulloch Academy raced out to an early 14-0 lead on Mount de Sales Friday night in the first round of the GISA Class AAA playoffs.
It's put up or shut up time tonight as Statesboro welcomes Tri-Cities to Womack Field for the first round of the Georgia High School Association playoffs.
A new classification, a new set of opponents but the same result.
They might still be a young group, but each passing week leaves the Statesboro defense looking more and more like the dominant Blue Devil defenses of a few years ago.
Pete Nagel signs a letter of intent to play baseball for the University of Georgia. As Metter's ace pitcher, Nagel has been a dominant force on the mound throughout his high school career. "It's a big thrill to be going to Georgia," said Nagel. "You see the talent of the SEC, and it's great to think that they want me to play for them. It'll be a lot of fun to play against the LSU's and South Carolina's of the world."
Lexi Allen signs a letter of intent to play softball for Georgia Southern next season. A four year starter, Allen earned All-Region 3-A honors in each of the last three seasons. "This is like a dream come true," said Allen. "I've been playing softball since I was 10 and I'm grateful for the opportunity to keep playing. I've got a lot of friends and family who have helped me get here, so I'm glad that I can stay near home and have them continue to come cheer me on."
SYLVANIA - They've been a part of four playoff teams at Screven County, advancing to the Elite Eight of the GHSA Class AA state playoffs three times, but now it's time for Marla Thompson, Tiffany Burns and Rochelle Schuman to go play at the next level.
After a few years spent toiling in the darkness, Corey Walker is helping Portal football climb back into the light.
The Southeast Bulloch football team may be done for the season, but their cheerleaders are still going strong.
Two students.
The All-Region 3-AA softball team was announced Monday, with seven area athletes making the cut.
What a difference a season makes.
BRUNSWICK - For Statesboro, the third time was the charm.
BROOKLET - In her varsity debut, freshman Emily Barnard scored four goals to lead Southeast Bulloch to a 10-0 season opening victory over Dodge County in girls soccer Thursday at Fred Shaver Field.
Two-time state wrestling champions Justin Lane and Dylan Stuckey lead a talented group of grapplers in a march to Americus this weekend to capture the GISA Class AAA crown.
GUYTON - The last thing Statesboro Coach Lee Hill wanted was a track meet, but that was what he got much to his chagrin.
After three months of grinding competition, prep basketball teams from around the area are priming for one more push that will either send them to the state tournament or send them home for a long offseason.
Bulloch Academy wrestlers won an incredible 12 of 14 weight classes en route to capturing the team's fourth consecutive region title Thursday.
The Statesboro Blue Devils find themselves in a familiar position again back in the state playoffs following their 74-65 win over Richmond Hill Friday night.
SAVANNAH - Lamont Ballard looked like the coolest person in the gym. And, as it turned out he was.

In Italian, "you do it". One of the things I love is putting myself in the hands of the chef (especially if it's someone you already know). Earlier this week I went back to one of my favorite restaurants in my old home town. The chef was in the house and she knew that I like a sequence of small plates. She sent out four courses that were ridiculously good, starting with seared scallop, peach, and crispy leek. It helps to be friends with the chef of course, and I wouldn't try this at TGIFridays, but do you folks do this?
I learned this in Italy in small trattoria type places where there really is no menu. It's like just bring me what you think is good. It helps if you are non-food phobic.
I've eaten in restaurants in Greece where we were invited into the kitchen to peek into the pots and choose our meal. At one of my favorite restaurants near my home in Garmisch-Partenkiicrhen, the chef comes to the table, sits down and chats for a bit and makes sure everyone is well supplied with a glass of wine from his uncle's vineyard before he gets around to telling us what he'd like to prepare for our meal. Never had a bad meal there.
There was another lovely Italian restaurant that specialized in local foods near my home that followed a similar strategy--but to my dismay, the restaurant closed last winter. Apparently, the locals never quite accepted the chef's approach or style.
In Paris, I love to order "du vin rouge, s'il vous plaît" and let the waiter choose. It's always excellent.
Yes. Always for sushi, many times for wine like boulangere, and sometimes for small spots with willing chefs. Like you say, it's a great way to get into the heart and soul of a place.
Best way to order sushi -- specify how much you want to spend and enjoy whatever appears in front of you.
Similar, I think: Tasting menus (with wine pairing). I love small plate meals.
I have always called it "chef's wim". I travel all over and when I am lucky to hit the right restaurant, I have walked away with a wonderful memory. It has also cost me unexpected bills afterwards. I paid $400 for a meal by myself in Toronto using this way of ordering, but felt it was worth every penny

Madagascar is legendary for its unique flora and fauna, and rightly so. This huge island arguably offers visitors the most distinctive wildlife holidays on the planet. Madagascar's riches include unique landscapes like the tsingy of Ankarana, the spiny forests of the south and the tropical island beaches in the northwest. But for most the number one attraction of a Madagascar holiday is the lemurs, of which there are over 90 species. Innumerable other nature highlights include the world's smallest and largest chameleons, an abundance of exquisite geckos, and over 100 types of birds found nowhere else. (See our Lemurs Facts Infographic for more insight on Madagascar's lemurs).
Our specialists can tailor-make an individual Madagascar holiday of your choice – see our suggested itineraries for ideas of what works best. Alternatively, you can sign up for one of our popular small group, in-depth wildlife tours. Either way, we will provide you with knowledgeable and experienced drivers and professional English speaking guides during your time in Madagascar.
We have the most extensive choice of holidays to Madagascar of any UK tour operator and can take you to all the highlights as well as the less visited corners. Our Madagascar team has been travelling in, writing about and arranging holidays to the country for over 15 years. Derek Schuurman, the team leader, has written and contributed to several guidebooks about Madagascar, including the authoritative Bradt Guide to Madagascar and Globtrotters Madagascar holiday guide.
We are very proud of our Madagascar programme. As well as offering the most popular wildlife reserves and beach destinations, we have pioneered Madagascar travel to lesser-known and more remote places like Anjajavy, Ifotaka, Marojejy and Masoala. We continue to explore the island so that we can enrich our choice of Madagascar holidays, whilst we continue to support worthwhile tourism and conservation enterprises, particularly in the remoter regions.
We are honoured to work closely with the Madagascar Development Fund (MDF), a non-profit organisation that finances small development projects in rural areas. If you are interested in spending the day with Brian Donaldson, the former (and last) British Ambassador to Madagascar visiting some of these projects, we would be delighted to arrange a full day trip for you to gain insights to the real Madagascar.

To a weary observer who's watched Nevada's K-12 education system limp into the 21st century, it can sometimes seem like the problems facing the school district aren't just problems, but Problems — implacable, inscrutable, systemic, dyed so deep in the grain they're less symptoms than a larger syndrome. Whether it's state funding for education, graduation rates or test scores, the school district's struggle to educate Clark County students has taken on the same sort of flavor as efforts to right our state tax structure: that of an ongoing epic with some small victories, precious few triumphs and lots of heartbreaking setbacks. Call it Game of Groans.
So, you can hardly blame a weary observer for reading an article like this with some sense of wolfish, almost desperate hope: Maybe this is it? Maybe this is the secret, the magic formula, the key, the grail? The this is, simply, Quiet Time. Could something as basic as meditation help turn our schools around? It's an appealing idea after you read this article about how a meditation program in a troubled school has been linked to dramatic improvements in attendance, discipline and even GPAs. (Interestingly, one of Quiet Time's most vigorous proponents is filmmaker David Lynch, whose filmography, er, seems hardly the stuff of a placid, om-chanting mind.) Since officially adopting the practice of Quiet Time in 2007, San Francisco's Visitacion Valley Middle School seems transformed:
Part of the appeal, of course, is that meditation is virtually free — welcome news for a cash-strapped school district. (Note to school district officials: If you contract a six-figure "mindfulness consultant" or "cosmic awareness facilitation expert," you're probably going down the wrong path.) And, particularly for its size, the school district has shown a willingness to experiment and innovate with what's-old-is-new-again concepts such as magnet schools and career and technical academies. If institutional desperation moved the school district to, say, oh, sign a pricey contract with Edison schools for a big bag of mixed results, a meditation pilot program shouldn't strike anyone as all that far-fetched. Quiet Time may not be the cure-all for a school district beset with problems, but I can guarantee you that a roomful of quiet students will make for some truly blissed-out teachers.

Kabul: Afghanistan's education minister has threatened to punish schoolgirls who claim to suffer from alleged "poisonings" that many officials believe are actually temporary psychological illnesses.
World | Other World Stories
Fainting schoolgirls to be punished by Afghanistan minister
Officials believe alleged "poisonings" are temporary psychological illnesses
- Image Credit: AFP
- Scores of Afghan girls' schools have seen mysterious mass faintings and nausea that are often blamed by police and the local media on poisoning by Taliban or toxic gas leaks.
Scores of girls' schools over recent years have seen mysterious mass faintings, nausea and similar symptoms that are often blamed by police and the local media on poisoning by Taliban insurgents or toxic gas leaks.
But no laboratory evidence of poison or other toxins has ever been found at schools and no deaths have occurred, with the girls often released from hospital after only a few hours.
In the latest case, 200 girls were reported to have been "poisoned" at a school in Kabul on May 1, causing an outbreak of screaming, stomach aches and vomiting.
"From now on, if I find anyone saying 'I'm poisoned' and the poisoning is not proved by the hospital, I will punish the student," Education Minister Ghulam Farooq Wardak told a press conference on Tuesday.
"I will punish the teacher, I will punish the head teacher and I will punish the school director," he added.
The education department said the government was determined to crack down on the causes of outbreaks of psychological illnesses among young girls.
"When one student faints, it spreads around and everyone might think it's poisoning," Mohammad Kabir Haqmal, spokesman for the ministry, told AFP.
"If tests prove it is mass hysteria or any other natural cause, of course no one will be punished. What the minister said was that we will pursue those who disrupt the classes."
Wazhma Frouqh, a female education activist, criticised the minister's stance and said that previous cases of "poisonings" had dissuaded families from sending their daughters to school.
"The minister should not have said that he will punish schoolgirls," she told AFP. "His job is to find out what has happened and protect schools."
Girls were banned from going to school under the Taliban, but numbers have risen since the extremist regime was ousted in 2001 and the government says 40 percent of pupils are now female.

(2) North Carolina 84
(3) Maryland 71
7:00 PM ET, January 28, 2007
COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- North Carolina waited 20 minutes to find someone who could put the ball in the basket with a measure of consistency.
Ivory Latta happily assumed the role, and her sharp-shooting enabled the No. 2 Tar Heels to remain unbeaten and extract a measure of revenge against third-ranked Maryland.Latta scored 22 of her season-high 32 points in the second half Sunday night, leading North Carolina past the defending national champions 84-71.The sellout crowd of 17,950 was the largest to watch a women's basketball game in Atlantic Coast Conference history, surpassing the 17,243 that viewed the Terrapins' loss to Duke in February 2005. Maryland has hosted the top five crowds in ACC history.Most in attendance Sunday will remember the performance of Latta, a 5-foot-6 senior guard who sank four 3-pointers in the opening five minutes of the second half to give the Tar Heels a 55-35 lead."I definitely got into a groove because my teammates found me," Latta said. "I was confident I'd hit the shot."Latta went 3-for-8 in the first half, when the Tar Heels (23-0, 7-0) shot 34 percent in taking a 35-27 lead. She finished 9-for-18, including 6-for-10 beyond the arc, and was 8-for-8 at the foul line."She looked pretty darn good tonight," Maryland coach Brenda Frese said.Erlana Larkins had 20 points and 13 rebounds, and Camille Little scored 17 points for the Tar Heels, whose 23-game winning streak is longest in the nation. North Carolina and top-ranked Duke, which handed Maryland its other defeat this season, are the lone remaining unbeaten teams in the nation.North Carolina lost only two games last season -- both to Maryland. The first loss came in overtime during the regular season, and the second came in the semifinals of the Final Four."We just tried to play our game and stay focused," Latta said.Shay Doron led Maryland (21-2, 5-2) with 19 points and Crystal Langhorne added 14 points and 10 rebounds. The Terps committed 21 turnovers and shot 39 percent."We felt like if we pressured them with different looks, we could force them into turnovers," North Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell said. "I guess it worked."The Terrapins waited too long to match the intensity of their enthusiastic fans. Maryland fell behind with five minutes elapsed and never caught up, crumbling under a series of turnovers and missed shots."For 30 of the 40 minutes, we were on the back of our heels, just making soft passes and not displaying the type of confidence we usually have on the offensive end," Frese said. "Anxiousness, nerves, you name it. We've got to find a way to get our swagger back."Maryland trailed 65-59 before Doron hit a 3-pointer, Kristi Toliver scored in the lane and Doron added a short jumper to make it 67-66.Larkins followed with a layup, however, and a jumper in the lane by Latta put North Carolina up 71-66 with 2:02 remaining. Little then hit a short jumper, and two foul shots by Latta gave the Tar Heels a nine-point cushion with one minute to go."We didn't play well, and a lot of that was dictated by Carolina's defense," Frese said. "It took a lot of courage to step up and play the way we did the last 10 minutes."North Carolina limited the Terrapins to 22 percent shooting and forced 14 turnovers in taking a 35-27 halftime lead.Playing in a charged atmosphere usually reserved for the postseason, both teams appeared jittery at the outset. Despite going 2-for-10 with five turnovers in the opening five minutes, Maryland trailed only 7-6 because the Tar Heels missed eight of their initial 11 field-goal tries.With eight minutes elapsed, Langhorne was 2-for-3 from the floor and the rest of the Terrapins were 1-for-12.At that point, North Carolina finally found its shooting touch. Little hit a jumper in the lane and added a layup before Larkins scored on a driving layup and nailed a 15-footer to cap an 8-0 run that made it 20-9.After Frese called a timeout, Doron hit a jumper to end a scoring drought of more than five minutes. Soon after that, however, Heather Claytor and Latta each made a 3-pointer in an 8-2 spurt that put the Tar Heels up 29-15.The Terrapins closed to 33-27 before the usually reserved Frese went onto the floor to complain after Toliver appeared to be fouled in the backcourt. Frese was called for a technical foul, and Latta made both free throws.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

12 Years a Slave (2013)
Critics Consensus: It's far from comfortable viewing, but 12 Years a Slave's unflinchingly brutal look at American slavery is also brilliant -- and quite possibly essential -- cinema.

All Critics (288) | Top Critics (50) | Fresh (277) | Rotten (11)
It speaks to the courage and resilience of one man, the savagery of many, and the potential, for both good and for ill, in us all.
It is so fluent and so certain -- both in its humanism and its depiction of institutionalised savagery.
We are surely watching one of the transcendent performances of the year in Ejiofor's sensitive, moving portrayal of the miserably oppressed Solomon.
Given the subject matter of the film, it's unsurprising to say that 12 Years a Slave is moving, but it's a testament to the filmmaking just how devastating the experience of watching it actually is.
The film belongs to Chiwetel and the remarkable ensemble that surrounds him. With McQueen, they've created a landmark picture of devastating power.
12 Years A Slave is a powerful, moving and intelligently unsentimental tale that is engrossing and memorable.
Easily the most powerful, compelling, devastating, and just plain blunt film about slavery ever made, Steve McQueen's adaptation of Solomon Northup's 1853 memoir, 12 Years a Slave is a raw and searing indictment.
Yes, we've all been enlightened unto the depletive hell that was the era of American slavery. But perhaps never, at least through cinema, have we been placed so vividly among the human beings who suffered through it.
McQueen depicts the horrific experiences of Solomon Northup, the free man kidnapped and sold into slavery, in utterly unflinching fashion. The film's strength lies in its frankness and avoidance of either sentimentality or Quentin Tarantino-style irony.
12 Years a Slave" is still one of the best movies of the year. It's also one of the most unsettling.
The crux of 12 Years a Slave's power comes back to Chiwetel Ejiofor. What a great, touching, tenacious performance.
12 Years a Slave is the clearest view of slavery I've seen onscreen.
McQueen directs with a total lack of sentiment, crafting each sequence with a merciless forward momentum that compensates for the episodic nature of the narrative.
In its own saintly manner, it's as exploitative as anything critics accused Django Unchained of being, minus Tarantino's eye for idiosyncrasy and sense of humor.
As hard-hitting as this is, though, it's the muted sense of outrage and injustice coursing through every fibre of Solomon's being that lingers longest, ensuring 12 Years a Slave triumphs as a human story about an inhuman institution.
The film tells an irresistibly powerful story, in a way that does not shirk the horror. It is unbearable to watch at times, but that is as it should be.
The film is beautifully underplayed with an emotional undercurrent that gradually builds an accumulative force, before all of that anger and sorrow finally explodes to the surface in an unforgettable final scene.
You will recoil. You will flinch. You will say to yourself, 'Oh no, not again.' But the story will seize you with such a visceral power you will be rooted to the spot. I know I was and I'm not easy to root.
Some movies have to be made, have to be seen, and no other consideration needs to be entered into.
Watching 12 Years a Slave does not feel like an ethical or educational obligation. While its instructive value is undeniable, this is also a rousing portrait, a morally complicated tale and a masterful work of art.
Audience Reviews for 12 Years a Slave
One of the best films of 2013. Nominated for an impressive nine Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay. Winner of four Golden Globes including Best Picture and Best Actor and was victorious in capturing three Oscars including Best Supported Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay and winning the Best Picture Oscar of 2013.
MoreSuper Reviewer
So far, the best of the Academy Award contenders I've seen. Next would be The Wolf of Wall Street. 12 Years a Slave is a must-see.
MoreSuper Reviewer
A worthy best picture winner based on the excellent performances and the importance of the subject matter, but this is not an easy movie to watch. If you can't handle graphic torture scenes, stay far away. There's quite of few of them and they are brutal. I admire that the actors and actresses were willing to put themselves through it. The movie itself is a great redemption story and emotionally compelling (especially the ending), but it can be slow at times. It's not something I would probably want to watch again, but absolutely worth it at least once if you can stomach it. The average film-goer that grabs this for a watch based on its awards will not like it more than likely because it is not a mainstream audience movie, but that is not something that should take away its accomplishments on and off the film.

This is the crowing work of 2013. An instant classic. A true emotional powerhouse of a film. A triumphant masterpiece of the highest kind. An extremely powerful, deeply moving and truly breathtaking movie. Director, Steve McQueen outdoes himself once again, crafting a true story and shows great dedication and commitment to the material and the characters. An unforgettably unapologetic piece of work that will talked about and remembered for years. A brutal and vicious account of slavery and its cruel nature that shows its devastation and its tragedy but also a glimmer of hope. The all-star cast is beyond superb. Chiwetel Ejiofor gives a magnificent and brilliant performance, he gives the performance of his career. Michael Fassbender gives an vicious and powerful performance. Benedict Cumberbatch is terrific. Brad Pitt is excellent. Lupita Nyong'o gives an emotionally devastating and great performance. A movie that has outstanding power. It has brutal darkness in it but also a fine beauty. It's truly impossible to turn away from.
