Christopher H. Browne Drawing Tours
Since 1991, the Drawing and Study course has been a cornerstone of the ICAA's annual education program. The program follows in the footsteps of architects journeying abroad, and at home, to study and document precedents for the purpose of informing the design of new buildings and places.
Each iteration of the program explores the continuity and vitality of the classical tradition in a paradigmatic city or region that has been instrumental to its development. An expanding rotation of destinations offers a multitude of opportunities to build a profound and comprehensive understanding of the roots of American architecture at all scales of design - from the city and its contiguous landscape as a comprehensive work of civic art, to the composition of the architecture and interiors of individual buildings, to the fine grain of detail, materiality, building craft and artisanship.
The study of precedents and adaptations to modern circumstances is paramount to the understanding of the classical vocabulary as a living language of architecture and city building. The course aims to enhance the practitioner's knowledge and skills in creative and informed applications of the classical tradition.
The Curriculum
The course is structured around the tradition of observational, analytical and measured drawing in a sketchbook, methods that have been utilized by architects since the Renaissance. Then, as now, the goal is to expand one's compendium of examples as a resource for reference in future design endeavors.
Each program includes an introduction to field drawing techniques that are then deployed throughout the course to study exemplars of classical and traditional design.
A typical session begins with an introduction to the subjects of study, extended drawing time, and concludes with shared discoveries and observations.
Complementing the core program is additional activity unique to the opportunities available in each location including visits to see newly built work, artisan workshops, and important collections and talks and demonstrations by guest lecturers.
Williamsburg, Virginia
May 30 - June 2, 2019
The 4-day drawing program is a study of American architecture and urbanism through measured and analytical drawing in Williamsburg, designed as part of an expansion to the ICAA Drawings tours of Rome and Paris. The overall goal of the program is for architects and designers to study in detail, through a variety of drawing techniques, the unique and architecturally rich environs of Williamsburg, Virginia, which serves as a laboratory of American 18th-20th century classical and traditional architecture. The course will begin with an analysis of the urbanism of Williamsburg, along with significant public buildings such as the Capital, Palace, Courthouse, and Market Hall. Significant James River Plantation houses will be studied as well as Williamsburg town houses, out buildings and gardens. Traditional and classical buildings recently built by Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and architects such as Quinlan Terry will also be explored. Guest lecturers will discuss the history of Williamsburg architecture including original colonial buildings and reconstructions starting in the 1920's and continuing today.
The ICAA would like to thank Charlotte Moss and Harrison Design for generously supporting the 2019 Christopher H. Browne Colonial Williamsburg Drawing Tour.
October 5 - 12, 2019
The 8-day drawing and painting program in Paris is based on the successful ICAA annual Rome program and the 2016/17/18 Paris Tours. Its purpose is to expand the knowledge of American architects, designers and practitioners in French traditional and neoclassical architecture, interiors and landscape and in the artisanal building traditions still practiced in France today through centuries-old guilds for the art and craft of building and their relevance and impact influence on American architecture.
The course is centered on exploring both the 18th through the early 20th Century Architecture of Paris and its environs and their direct influences on American architecture. The City of Paris offers a rich environment where 19th Century discourse debated the merits of Classical and Gothic styles of Architecture. Both sources have been significant historical sources of inspiration for American architects and designers, dating back to Thomas Jefferson's diplomatic residency in France in the late 18th Century through the 19th and 20th centuries when American architects attended L'école des Beaux-Arts. Starting with the Place des Vosges under Henri IV, the course traces the development of French architecture through Gabriel's works at Versailles through the 19th Century works of Beaux-Arts architect, Henri Labrouste and Neo-Gothic architect, Eugene Viollet-Le-Duc and early 20th century works.
May 30 - June 6, 2020
The ICAA is excited to announce a drawing tour program in Edinburgh in summer 2020. More details about this program to be announced.
Future Locations
New locations will be rotated in over the course of three years, providing practitioners with a wide range of options for advanced study. Upcoming tours are as follows:
Charleston, South Carolina
Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Nusrat Jahan Choudhury and Michael Alexander Early were married Nov. 5 at the Armour House, an event space in Lake Forest, Ill. Imam Senad Agic officiated, with Judge Barrington D. Parker Jr. of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit taking part.
Ms. Choudhury, 40, is keeping her name. She is a senior staff lawyery in the racial- justice program of the American Civil Liberties Union in New York. She graduated summa cum laude from Columbia and received a master's degree in public administration from Princeton. She received her law degree from Yale and was a law clerk to Judge Parker.
She is the daughter of Nafisa A. Choudhury of Northbrook, Ill., and the late Dr. Nurer R. Choudhury. The bride's mother is a food-services coordinator for grammar schools and middle schools in Northbrook and the surrounding area for Sodexo, a food-services company based in Issy-les-Moulineaux, France. The bride's father was the chief of neurology at St. Mary's of Nazareth Hospital in Chicago and an associate professor of neurology at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Mr. Early, 42, is a film and television visual-effects producer in New York for Mr. X, a division of Technicolor SA, a French corporation that provides services and products for the communication, media and entertainment industries. He graduated from Emerson College.
He is a son of Sheila A. Early of West Chester, Ohio, and the late William J. Early. The groom's mother retired as an administrative assistant at St. Susanna Catholic Church in Mason, Ohio. His father was an advertising sales account executive for WCPO-TV in Cincinnati.
Ms. Choudhury and Mr. Early met in April 2015 through the dating app Hinge, when they were living in Brooklyn, she in Park Slope and he in Williamsburg. She was traveling the country to bring civil rights lawsuits on behalf of the A.C.L.U. to challenge racial profiling. He was divorced and doing freelance commercial postproduction work, and thinking about moving back to Los Angeles, where he had lived and done similar work from 2001 to 2008.
Ms. Choudhury made the first move, sending Mr. Early a note as soon as she spotted his profile on Hinge.
"I liked that he lived in Brooklyn and that he had been on an African safari, as I had," Ms. Choudhury said. "He also enjoyed 'The Daily Show,' which made me think he might be a witty person who appreciated incisive political commentary."
Mr. Early responded immediately on Hinge, but did not hear back from her for nearly a month.
"I just figured I wouldn't hear from her anymore," he said. "I sent her one final note saying 'You seem like someone I'd like to meet.'"
As it turned out, Ms. Choudhuryt had gone on a work-related trip to Mississippi the day after sending her initial message to Mr. Early via her iPad, which she had left behind in her Brooklyn apartment.
When she finally checked her messages, she immediately sent one back to Mr. Early expressing an interest in meeting him.
On a June afternoon, they got together for coffee at a Manhattan cafe, and chatted for 30 minutes.
"I loved his adventurous spirit," she said. "He had traveled throughout Europe and to South America and Southeast Asia. I wasn't meeting many guys from Brooklyn who could share those kinds of experiences."
Mr. Early was equally impressed.
"I was struck by the fact that she was working so hard to bring racial justice to the world," he said. "She was more than just a beautiful woman, she was a very intelligent person who was very up on current events."
The next month, they met at a Manhattan restaurant for their first date, and talked about topics like work, their love of travel and their cultural and religious backgrounds (she is from a Bengali Muslim family and he is Roman Catholic). They also bonded over the shared pain of losing a father, he in 2004 and she in 2011.
"He was so empathetic, so warm and engaging," Ms. Choudhury said.
They began dating, and soon found that they did not share all things in common. He worked in television; she did not own a television set. He preferred quiet evenings at home with family; she liked the theater and fine restaurants.
"In some ways we were total opposites," Ms. Choudhury said, "but that's O.K. because when we fell in love with each other, we also fell in love with our differences."

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based technical/progressive death metal project Equipoise recently announced the upcoming release of their debut full-length, Demiurgus. The album is set for release on March 8th through The Artisan Era. It is the follow up to the group's 2016 heavily praised EP, Birthing Homunculi, whose material makes it's way onto Demiurgus in a re-worked fashion far beyond their initial form.
Equipoise features an amalgamation of well-respected musicians within the technical death metal community from Pennsylvania, Illinois, Missouri, Denver, and Quebec. The band's members play in established well-known acts including Beyond Creation, First Fragment, ex-The Faceless, Inferi, Wormhole, NYN, and more. Fans of Gorod, Inferi, Necrophagist, Vale of Pnath, and Death will appreciate all Equipoise – Demiurgus has to offer.
Having banded together as a multi-national collective of renowned death metal musicians, Equipoise then undertook the task of furthering their initial vision on 2016's Birthing Homunculi into the standout new heights reached throughout their upcoming full-length, Demiurgus. The end product, while exploding with endless guitar solos and incredibly complex songwriting throughout, remains the same as when the project began, to offer a death metal experience that's both fun to listen to and memorable. Bandleader Nick Padovani comments on Equipoise as "Playing a melodic brand of technical/progressive death metal, we like to make frequent use of orchestral elements and flamenco guitar, as we feel good music shouldn't be pigeonholed by any one sound."
Today the band partnered with Toilet Ov Hell to premiere the album's first single, "Waking Divinity". In addition, pre-orders for Equipoise – Demiurgus are now live and linked to below.
*You can listen to Equipoise – "Waking Divinity" HERE
Toilet Ov Hell comments on today's premiere of "Waking Divinity"
"Waking Divinity" is, in a word, intense. It's a more complex composition, less reliant on pedal tones and exploring a wider range of notes, taking those same ideas explored on the EP to the next level. Subtle time signature changes will keep you on your toes, and in spite of its speed, the note choice gives it a melancholy undertone that you don't typically hear in this particular style. Flashy as it is, it's also quite melodic; their showmanship isn't wasted on riffs you won't remember when the song stops."
"That impressive musicianship comes as no surprise given the band's lineup. That is a supergroup if I ever saw one, and it's all the more reason to get excited for this release."
Pre-orders for Equipoise – Demiurgus are now live
*Stay tuned for more Equipoise news, early singles, and reviewers promos to launch in the coming weeks.

Twente has a long, proud history of textile barons whose international entrepreneurship brought great economic prosperity to the region. In 2017, Enschede has worked similarly hard to strengthen its international position.
The municipal administration of Enschede leverages its international networks to help local entrepreneurs and knowledge institutes find global business or education partners. Whether this means approaching our sister cities of Enschede — Dalian in China and Palo Alto in Silicon Valley — or our contacts in the Euro region or the Eurocities network: Enschede into the world!
In turn, Enschede also wants to be accessible for international visitors, students and companies alike: the world into Enschede!
For instance, Enschede invited five friendly cities to be its guests at the international Smart City Conference in July. Dalian, Palo Alto, Münster, Heidelberg and Linköping learned that Enschede is a frontrunner in the field of drone testing. And partnering closely on issues such as mobility or energy transitions will generate considerable new knowledge and business networks.
This annual report provides an impression of our international activities in 2017. The activities we undertook in the context of our 'Germany agenda' are included separately in an annual overview:
Welcome in 2018 to groundbreaking Enschede!

Tutoring for Elementary School students often focuses on establishing or strengthening basic skills in reading, writing or math. If a child is struggling in these areas, the school may provide intervention or suggest starting an IEP or 504 plan.
Parents are crucial advocates in identifying trouble areas and advocating for support which may include one of these formal plans at school or tutoring.
Tutoring in these skill areas can support the school instruction or 'fill in the gaps' if a student is missing core concepts. It is possible that tutoring can contribute to the identification of a learning disability, if one is present, because it contributes to establishing that a student has received adequate instruction.
New concepts are introduced really quickly in Elementary school- it can often help your child to have these concepts explained and reinforced by another person. Examples of how tutoring can help an Elementary student include:
Helping develop a strong homework ethic to get those assignments done.
Supporting the goals of an IEP or 504 plan already established in the school
Practice with reading improvements via phonics instruction, sight word practice and recognition, reading comprehension and other story elements.
- Practice with school spelling words and spelling in their own writing.
- Practice answering questions about things they have read (the concrete basics)
- Practice sequencing the events of a story
- Understanding of author's purpose and writing devices such as simile, metaphor or figurative language.
- Practice using a variety of materials to develop research skills.
- Instruction with writing reports, book reports, stories, plays or poems.
- Instruction and practice with taking notes, outlining and other planning
- Instruction and practice with editing for content and writing conventions like capitalization, punctuation and grammar.
- Work with remembering basic facts in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
- Strategies to answer word problems related to different operations and concepts.
- Learning more about place value, mental math, telling time and linear measurement
- Work with geometric concepts and shapes, area, volume and other metrics.
- Discovering and communicating optimum learning strategies to aid parent and teacher understanding of student learning profile.
This work may be for convenience, enrichment to help your child get ahead, for short term 'catching up' or for longer term support to help remediate academic weaknesses or learning disabilities.
Whatever your reason, we are here to help! We have a network of qualified tutors, as well as support professionals familiar with the wide spectrum of academic skills and abilities that can help make sure your child gets the help that they need.

It's harder to hit a moving target than it is to hit a stationary target; any sniper, archer, or NFL quarterback knows this to be true. Photographers understand this challenge as well. One can't possibly overstate the importance of nailing focus; focus works right alongside composition, framing, and lighting as factors that make for a good photo. Sure, there's always some artistic wiggle room to account for, but if you fail to reach a certain threshold— perhaps an abstract one, perhaps an arbitrary one — your image simply isn't going to go over too well with its intended audience.
In most situations, even when the lighting is changing, you have enough time to make necessary adjustments to get a good exposure. Similarly, composition changes only when you change it. And then there's the issue of focus.
Focusing on static subjects is easy; if you run into problems, it could be due to some snafu with your lens and/or camera. But when your intended subject is on the move — and, even worse, moving rapidly — the difficulty level of the task at hand increases significantly.
So how do the pros focus on moving subjects? There's no cookie cutter methodology, no one-size-fits-all approach. Different photographers use different ways to accomplish this. But when we look at the range of techniques used by various photographers, some very important, very helpful tips reveal themselves, and from those tips we can obtain a basic but highly functional understanding of how to better capture moving subjects.
Fast by photophilde, on Flickr
Which Focus Mode to Use
First, let's work under the premise that everyone prefers autofocus (AF) to manual focus; in reality, this is far from a universal truth and there are a number of scenarios in which manual focus trumps autofocus, but we'll get into that later. For now, AF is the name of the game.
DSLRs are equipped with two general AF modes — one mode for static subjects and one mode for moving subjects.
Single shot AF works best for non-moving subjects such as portraits or landscapes. In single shot AF mode, you can't take the photo unless focus is locked; the good part about this feature is that you can be rather certain your shot will be accurately focused; the bad part is that if your once stationary subject starts to move after focus has been locked in, your shot will come out blurry. You'll end up refocusing constantly, never being sure of when you'll get the desired result.
Enter continuous AF, the second of the two basic DSLR AF modes. As the name implies, the camera will continuously adjust focus as long as the shutter button is pressed half way. It will keep this up right up to the point you release the shutter.

More on Continuous AF Mode
Most people tend to use only one focus point (usually the center point). This works well enough for static subjects, but focusing on moving objects is a different story. Working in continuous AF mode, most newer DSLRs will allow you to choose one, a small cluster, or all of the camera's focus points. Generally speaking, the more focus points you use, the greater chance you have of capturing rapidly or erratically moving subjects.
That doesn't always mean that all the focus points should be selected, however. Having all the focus points active while trying to photograph a small subject or one that may become obscured by the background or foreground will confuse the camera and make it difficult to lock on to your intended target. You'll probably get something in sharp focus, but it won't be what you wanted.
Manually selecting a small cluster of focus points — or even a single focus point — will work better in some instances because the camera will focus only on the area of your choosing. All you have to do is track the subject with your camera.

Different camera manufacturers employ their own naming conventions for these features, but they all essentially work the same way across brands; check your manual to find out not only what these features and modes are called on your camera, but also how to activate them.
Continuous Drive Mode
Continuous drive mode makes an excellent companion for continuous AF. Continuous drive mode allows you to take many shots in rapid succession, as fast as 12 frames per second depending on what camera you're using. So, while you've got continuous AF active and paired with continuous drive, you simply need to track your subject and, when ready to shoot, hold the shutter button down. You will be rewarded with a series of images that show your subject in evolving stages of action.
Panning around by Damianos Chronakis, on Flickr
So What Was That About Manual Focus?
If your camera's AF system is up to the task, it will nail focus of moving subjects far more often than it fails. However, there are times when manual focus might work better. Many photographers use a technique known as pre-focusing.
Using this method, you pre-focus on a specific spot with one shot AF, then switch to manual focus to keep the focus at that distance locked in. Make sure you've got continuous drive mode active. Now let loose a burst of shots as the subject arrives at the point you focused on. This technique minimizes the amount of work the AF system has to do (time taken to autofocus, distance the lens barrel has to travel) and maximizes the odds that you get at least one in-focus shot.
Pre-focusing works especially well with predictable action, things like motor sports, where your camera's AF system may not be able to keep up with the speed at which vehicles are racing toward them.
Finish Line in Sight by Michael Elleray, on Flickr
How to Optimize Your Camera for Action Shots
- Set the AF mode to continuous focus. Canon refers to this as AI Servo, while Nikon calls it Continuous-servo AF.
- Use continuous drive mode. Sometimes called burst mode, most cameras should present you the option of high-speed and low-speed continuous shooting.
- Activate the focus limiter. Some telephoto and macro lenses feature a focus limiter switch that limits the range of distances over which a lens will attempt to focus. If your lens has this feature, turn it on.
- Turn on "type 2" image stabilization. While traditional image stabilization doesn't assist in freezing action, some lenses are now equipped with a more modern secondary form of stabilization known as "panning mode." This mode will stabilize movement only in the direction in which you are panning (moving horizontally) instead of trying to compensate for movement in all directions.
And just to add one more entry to the palette of possibilities, there's back button focus. You can learn more about what it is, how it works, how to set it up on your camera here.
Even the best photographers will attest to the fact that successfully capturing moving subjects is a challenge, but it is not one that can't be overcome with practice. Yes, it's seems like a lot to juggle: not only do you have to pay attention to the lighting and make sure you create an interesting composition, but you've also got to go through all these steps to make sure your speedy subject is in sharp focus. Over time, though, it all becomes second nature. Before you know it you'll be known as the fastest finger in town.

Remember that weekend when I was home alone and had a baking marathon? Well this cake is one of the sweet creations I whipped up that day, and I am so excited to share it with you.
It includes coconut and almonds which match so well together and few other ingredients mandatory for cakes such as butter, sugar and eggs.
You need just one bowl to mix everything and less than 1 hour of your time including baking. Yayyy😍 Tempted?
Coconut & almond cake
- 1 cup coconut
- 1 cup almond meal
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 70 g melted butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp milk or yogurt
- Almond flakes
- a little bit of sugar to sprinkle on top
- 2 tbsp all purpose flour (optional)
- Preheat oven at 180 degrees Celsius.
- Prepare a 20 cm baking pan with baking paper and set aside.
- Beat the eggs with sugar until the mixture looks homogeneous.
- Add melted butter, vanilla extract and yogurt and mix well.
- Add coconut meal, almond meal and flour if using and mix well.
- Pour the mixture in the baking pan.
- Sprinkle with flaked almonds and a little bit of sugar on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes.
- Let it cool well before serving.
1 cup = a standard cup of 240 ml
If you can not find almond meal, just blend 1 cup of almonds for few seconds in a food processor and voila, you now have it.

My photo shoot with Mamas & Papas
Okay so I'm kind of cheating with my #whatmamaworemonday because this is definitely not me on a standard February Monday morning but I just had to include these photos because I'm so proud of them. At the beginning of November I was contacted by the lovely team over at Mamas & Papas and asked if I would model their new sage green armadillo pushchair. I obviously jumped at the chance! I was in complete shock that little old me had even been asked!
We shot in Kensington on I think the coldest winter day of the year. I remember it being around -2 degrees, it was absolutely freezing but luckily clear blue skies and lots of sun. The funny thing is, the shoot was for their Spring/Summer campaign so I had to dress for warm weather when in actual fact it was absolutely Baltic! Emmie was such a little trooper and battled through the freezing temperatures with a few little tears but on the whole she did so well, bless her. The team at Mamas & Papas really looked after us, after every shot they ran over and popped a blanket over the both of us. We drank lots of hot tea and even got given hand warmers, they were really fab to work with. I also remember members of public stopping to watch and I felt like such a little celebrity haha, I definitely soaked in my 5 minutes of fame!
I received the photos back on Thursday and I could have cried I was so happy with them. I'm over the moon they chose me. I now have these gorgeous photos to look back on from what was such a brilliant day.
What I'm wearing:
Dungarees, ASOS – https://rstyle.me/n/cxd9t8cb6c7
Stripy Tee, New Look – https://rstyle.me/n/cxd9v9cb6c7
Converse, ASOS – https://rstyle.me/n/cxd9tfcb6c7
If you could like to part in week thirty-nine of What Mama Wore Monday, then get those outfits posts up on instagram or your blog! Just a few points to remember when joining in. Make sure you use the hashtag #whatmamaworemonday, tag myself heyitsromeca and rachelthehat in your photos and remember it has to be a photo you've posted today. We will then share a few snaps and try our best to comment on everyone's posts. It would also be lovely if everyone who participates could also comment on other #whatmamaworemonday posts.
Lets spread the love ladies!

Volume CDLXXI- Big Trouble In Little Portland
For the Week of 8/26/14
(Click the pics for more reviews!)
Videoport gives you a free movie every single day! Let's all just kick back and think about how undeniably cool that is.
Middle Aisle Monday! Take a free rental from the Science Fiction, Horror, Incredibly Strange, Popular Music, Mystery/Thriller, Animation, or Staff Picks sections with any other paid rental! OR Get any three non-new releases for seven days for seven bucks!
>>> Videoport customer Abby L. suggests Ladies And Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains! (in Incredibly Strange.) Punk is a barbed knot of contradictions, and anyone who tries to untie that knot is going to get hurt. Like its tough female protagonists, the 1982 cult classic, Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains, tries to untangle it anyway. Stains features a 15 year-old Diane Lane as Corinne "Third-Degree" Burns, the recently-orphaned lead singer of the titular punk group she's formed with her sister, Tracy, and cousin, Jessica, played by fellow future heavy-hitter Laura Dern. Set against the misty gray backdrop of a fading Pennsylvania steel town, Corinne's inevitable future in her hometown is laid out clearly before her: be someone's girlfriend, be someone's wife, be someone's mother, and die. Her dreams of marriage and family having been extinguished by the death of her mother, Corinne develops a defensive snarl and cynical attitude. The Stains hit the road as a supporting act for the prophetically-named Metal Corpses, KISS-like glam rock dinosaurs, and the Looters, a sniveling English punk band played by members of the Sex Pistols and the Clash, on a failing tour of the Midwest. The mismatched groups are managed by a long-suffering Rastafarian nicknamed Lawn Boy, who's a symbol of the political camaraderie between punk and reggae which linked the seemingly disparate musical genres in the 1970's. The film drifts in and out of a somewhat clumsy mockumentary format as the Stains become a continuing human interest story on the local news, spurred by a sympathetic female newscaster. Looking like a cross between X-Ray Spex and the Misfits from Jem, the group is a near-literal overnight sensation because of a the media attention (a primitive version of going "viral") and a galvanizing slogan, "We don't put out." A few gigs later, they have a devoted following of young girls dressed just like them. But Corinne and her bandmates have clearly given more thought to their clothes and their mission statement than their music, and in punk rock, it's a very fine, nearly invisible, line between success and "selling out." The third-act moralizing in the Fabulous Stains is emblematic of punk's central conflict. If pop music stars are disposable, then punk stars are combustible. Punk fans demand contradicting values from their idols: rawness and purity, steely ideology and strident apathy, toughness and relatability, youth and wisdom. In weeks, the Stains go from heroes to hypocrites. Regardless of its philosophy, the Fabulous Stains is a valuable document of the original punk rock scene and features a fascinating cross-section of music legends and budding stars. Lane channels admirable depths of both perseverance and vulnerability. Mercifully, the musicians aren't forced to do much acting. Most of all, it's a loving tribute to American punk music and rust-belt grit. Stains is absolutely mandatory viewing for anyone who dares to call themselves a riot grrl, past, present and future.
Tough and Triassic Tuesday! Give yourself a free rental from the Action or Classics section with any other paid rental! OR Get any three non-new releases for seven days for seven bucks!
>>> Dennis suggests The Big Sleep (in Classics.) With the death of Lauren Bacall, here's my pick to see her at her best. She and Bogart were a great team, their offscreen chemistry translating in the way that most real couples don't Here, he's private dick Philip Marlowe and she's Vivian Rutledge, wild and wealthy daughter of the wealthy Sternwood clan. There's a case—a particularly confusing one (author Raymond Chandler admits even he doesn't know who killed a certain character)—but the real attraction is Bogart and Bacall, their verbal sparring and obvious smoldering making them one of the hottest screen couples in history. (All without much physical contact at all.)
Wacky and Worldly Wednesday! You've got a free rental coming from the Comedy or Foreign Language sections with any other paid rental! OR Get any three non-new releases for seven days for seven bucks!
>>> Dennis suggests getting some serious free money at Videoport! You're gonna spend your entertainment dollars with us, so why not get some free ones? No reason not to. $20 buys you $25 in store credit and $30 buys you $40. Boom—free money. Do that.
Thrifty Thursday! Rent one, get a free rental from any other section in the store! OR Get any three non-new releases for seven days for seven bucks!
>>> Dennis suggests The Simpsons (in Animation.) You know how you know that this is one of the greatest TV shows of all time? With a cable network no on watches otherwise running the entire run of The Simpsons for 12 straight days, people are still coming in to rent i. Maybe they missed the episodes they really wanted to see because they were on at 4:30 in the morning on a Wednesday. Or maybe they saw some episodes they loved and just had to see them again immediately. Or maybe they realized the horrifying scam cable TV is and have no idea what FXX is. Regardless, Videoport's got all the best seasons of the show (let's say, up 'til season 10) and the diminishing returns thereafter.
Free Kids Friday! One free rental from the Kids section, no other rental necessary!
>>> You can just come in and get a free movie here, people. No other rental necessary. Who else does that? No one, that's who.
Having a Wild Weekend! Rent two movies, and get a third one for free from any section!
>>>For Saturday, Videoport customer Jeremy A. suggests The Sacrament (in Horror). Ti West should make a fast paced film called Slow Burn. Slow burn is the primary description attached to Ti West's films. It's a tad lazy and implies most other films are fast burners. I enjoyed West's last two efforts, The House of the Devil and The Innkeepers. Indeed his films are deliberate in their glacial pace and often retro styled in the vein of late 70's horror films. Back when studio execs and audiences didn't demand a jump scare every 8 minutes. You could get to know characters, build upon a situation and create genuine atmosphere. A Ti West film is an investment of time and patience. The payoff being, you earn tension and ultimately care about what transpires. In real life crazy sh*t doesn't happen every 8 minutes. There's usually a slow escalation of circumstances and before you know it you're in too deep. So it's interesting that The Sacrament draws heavily from the very real and tragic Jonestown Massacre of 1978. Even more fascinating that such a retro-centric filmmaker would use the exhausted and unimaginative found-footage style to tell this story. Presented as a VICE documentary, The Sacrament focuses on documentarians Sam and Jake (AJ Bowen and Joe Swanberg) accompanying fashion photographer Patrick (Kentucker Audley) to a remote commune called Eden Parish. Patrick's troubled sister Caroline (Amy Seimetz) has invited them to visit her at the spiritual sanctuary. Initially it appears to be a bona fide utopia, where good people have escaped the racism and hassles of modern life to live off the land. Enter the commune's enigmatic leader, Father (Gene Jones) in easily the best performance and scene of the film. Sitting down for an interview with the outsiders, Father's disdain for the media quickly becomes apparent. If you scratch at the surface of paradise, things are often not quite what they seem. Due to the found-footage constraint, we never truly know what's going on behind the scenes at Eden Parish. Nor gain any real insight into the mindset of what drives folks to join such a cult, or follow it to an unholy conclusion. There's also straight up technical flaws as to who is filming what, when all cameras are accounted for. I honestly thought the movie may go in a Wicker Man direction, revealing far more sinister reasons for Caroline's invite to the compound. The tension of waiting for a twist or unexpected turn was exciting, but a huge disappointment when it embraced the Jonestown template and staggered toward the obvious ending. In The Sacrament West is basically recreating the Jonestown Massacre on a smaller scale with artistic liscense. The problem is I wish he'd taken more artistic liberties or simply done a film on the 1978 Peoples Temple. See Kevin Smith's underappreciated Red State for similar themes about religious cults and their silver tongued leaders. Or watch any of the numerous Jonestown documentaries. Terrifying cause they're true. I can only hope the found-footage genre is in the death rattle phase. Out of options, ready to drink the kool aid, lay down the video camera and film itself crawling off into the sunset.
>>>For Sunday, Dennis suggests Rectify (in Feature Drama) and Orphan Black (in Mystery/Thriller). Now that the Emmys are over, we can all stop complaining about who/what got nominated/won, right? Hahahahaha…mercy, no! Like all the big awards shows, they get most everything wrong, inevitably erring on the side of bland/safe/pleasant (Modern Family, I'm looking at you…), and this year was no exception. Although Breaking Bad—yes. So I'm going to use my time here for some stumping on behalf of two of the best performances that didn't even get nominated. In Rectify, Aden Young plays Daniel Holden, a man imprisoned on death row since he was 17 who's released to his small Georgia hometown and family when DNA evidence voids his conviction. There's simply nothing like this show, maybe ever, and Young's performance as the wary, courtly Daniel is truly remarkable. There's a mystery still at the heart of Rectify (one that the show is in no hurry to clear up), but the real mystery is of what makes Daniel tick. I've tried to explain the effect this show and Young's performance has on me, that I watch both in a sort of rapt, meditative attention unique in all my millions of TV watching hours. Orphan Black's Tatiana Maslany is a wonder as well, except her gift is for knocking your socks off with versatility. Virtuosity, even. I don't want to spoil anything if you don't know the premise of this fun, exciting Canadian thriller series, so I'll just say that Maslany gives several of the best performances on TV. Like, eight of them. (Think Dollhouse, only with a lead actress who can actually play anyone other than that one character and you'll get what I'm talking about.) So again—in Smart World, these two would have been there on Emmy night, listening to Breaking Bad win all the drama awards, but at least they'd be there. Plus—if neither gets nominated next year, I may do something drastic. Like…write another snarky blog post! Watch your back, Emmy voters!
New Releases this week at Videoport: The Walking Dead- season 4 (ZOMBIES!!!!!

Womp-womp.

Co-starring the great Felicity Huffman, who also teamed with Gregg in the last season of the great TV show Sports Night, which you should also really rent.), Legends Of Oz: Dororthy's Return (Indifferently worthy animated sequel to that movie about that wizard from Oz features the voices of Lea Michelle, Kelsey Grammer, Jim Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Bernadette Peters, Brian Blessed, Martin Short, Oliver Platt, Hugh Dancy, and a whole lot more people than you'd expect in this sort of thing), Age Of Uprising: The Legend Of Michael Kolhaas (The great Mads Mikkelsen—you should really be watching Hannibal—stars in this French/German historical epic about a wronged horse trader who assembles an army to get some justice against the lord who swindled him)
