okay, i have worked on this until i cannot see anything else that i don't like about it/that is wrong.
i'll mention she was drawn from a very petite short girl, so her neck and torso are kinda short, but i like the look it gives her, so i don't wanna change it, but if the bone/muscle placement looks weird tell me.
anyways, i spent waaaaaaaaaay too long on this pic.......8 HOURS!!!! *nurses hurting hand*
sorry i couldn't post the whole pic, instead just a thumb to clicky on, the website i upload to is being retarded. crits?

okay.....so i take it when i can't get replies from anybody that i did pretty good? come on people i know it's not perfect!!!!
Okay, it's Friday, I'm feeling expansive. Eight hours! South Dakota!
Just kidding. On the whole it looks pretty good - kind of a storybook quality, the good fairy, maybe.
Crits: looks a little short-waisted, but this could be my taste. Definitely want to work on the hands. They're always hard and the foreshortening doesn't make it any easier. One hint: as fingers curl, they aim toward the center of the hand, so you'll never see a little finger like that unless something horrible has happened.
The right hand looks like an afterthought. Obviously you're willing to spend some time on your drawing, so take a little more and work on hands. They're hard.
There's something ambiguous about the ear, too, if that's what it is. Looks like it might want to be the back of the head.
A word about getting replies: it should be obvious that newbies get the least, even tho they may need the most. This is fairly typical for all the forums I've seen. The pros get the most (mostly compliments). This is human nature, I guess. Posting a drawing is like putting your ego on the line, but you're better off not taking anything here personally. If you post frequently, you'll get more replies.
Keep at it.
yeah i know newbies hardly get any replies heh, but that's not the case. i put this up in 3 different websites also when 2 of them i've been there for more than a year lol.
i'll fix what you suggested heh....i know she's a bit short waisted too, but i'm trying to remedy making them too long......i think it's still possible so i'm going to leave it?
her right hand was drawn perfectly.....but in the wrong place. i used the transform tools to make it smaller and in the right place.....
thank you so very much for critting my pic, i very badly needed one ^^
wow, you spent that long working on it?
the hell am i saying, I do the same thing sometimes....ok, most the time
but, now i just say screw it and make it sketchy or just color it and outline only what really needs it
anyways, on to the critique
the pose is not very dynamic
the skirt needs to be changes, could be better
the face could use a little more expression
i think you should make more characters and madd them into one image
it looks like it belongs to a bigger scheme
yeah im new, lets see how my post goes
im keeping my fingers crossed
well it is part of a bigger scheme lol. in front of her it will be winter, and in her thingy coming off of her arm in it will be spring, she's bringing spring, hence the title, comes the spring.
how can the skirt be better with still keeping it short and barely there?
Her feets too big. They look big as, if not bigger than the size of her head.
She needs a butt too. She looks pretty flat as of now. Also the angle that
she is in, you shouldn't be able to see her breasts, maybe a little bit of it,
but not as much. Heck, you should make a line connecting to her ribs to her
armpits and a bump underneath to show that she's got breasts.
Your art looks familiar. Are you on DA?
her feet are to big for YOU. i always draw bigger than normal feet, so i know they are big, thanks. and she has a butt, it is NOT an error why would i need to change it? if i gave her more she would look too out of proportion. she is a petite little pixie. hmm......you're right about her boob, i'll change that thanks ^^Originally Posted by FahmHer feets too big.

If airport security, global terrorism and lost luggage haven't done it, here are the top 10 scenes that will put you off air travel for good.
Plane Crash - Alive-
The sudden and tragic crash is made all the more disturbing by the banal events that precede it: The doomed rugby team laugh and joke through the increasingly violent turbulence, totally unaware of what's waiting for them—well, some of them—in the harsh Andes Mountains.
Plane Crash - Fight Club-
On boring business flights, most guys fantasize about minibars, room service, and that leggy stewardess up in first class. Edward Norton's soul-crushed Everyman sits back—as calm as a Hindu cow—and dreams about a nerve-shredding mid-air collision that tears his plane apart like it was made of balsa wood.
Plane Crash - Fearless-
Unlike a lot of movie plane crashes—which tend to be sudden, brutal, and then over—Fearless' pivotal tragedy unfolds slowly, in parts, throughout the whole film. The lingering sense of dread and the focus on what people do when they know they're facing death is worse than the crash itself.
Plane Crash - Final Destination-
Perhaps the only thing worse than suffering through an airline disaster is suffering through it—every excruciating detail of it—before it even happens. Vivid premonitions are disturbing enough, but this particular crash hits extra spine-chilling notes when it's revealed that Death had a copy of the seating chart all along…
Plane Crash - Cast Away-
FedEx guarantees your packages will arrive on time—assuming, of course, they don't plunge out of the sky into a remote part of the ocean mid-flight. Cast Away makes up for the hour and a half of "guy alone on an island" with these few minutes of almost too-realistic airborne horror.
Plane Crash - The Edge-
A lovely scene of a flock of geese in flight is so serene, so beautiful, so…deadly? A head-on collision with a flock of Canadian honkers is enough to send a rinky seaplane into a nose dive that's bloody and disturbing before the craft even hits the ground.
Plane Crash - Airplane-
They say that any landing you walk away from is a good one, so this one actually went pretty well—assuming you were one of the passengers who survived the food poisoning, the Hare Krishnas, and one of Ted Stryker's war stories.
Plane Crash - Flight of the Phoenix-
Pilots are usually prepared to handle rough weather like electrical storms, fog, or snow…but a raging sandstorm? That adds a whole new wrinkle. Rather than crashing full tilt, the passengers on this flight have to struggle as the violent sand literally pulls the plane apart in mid-air.
Usually, when terrorists threaten to do something horrible like, say, deliberately crash a plane full of innocent travelers, the hero stops them just in the nick of time. Unfortunately, all beleaguered cop John McClane can do is sit in stunned horror and watch as renegade merc Colonel Stuart fatally proves he's not fucking around.
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas…even if that means you crash-landed a giant cargo plane in the middle of the strip. Combining the bright lights of Sin City with Jerry Bruckheimer-funded carnage creates an eye-popping spectacle. In fact, it's rumored that Steve Wynn is working on a "Plane Crash" hourly spectacle for his next casino. Eat that, Treasure Island.

What Oracle's earnings miss means
Customers are calling the shots in the business software market, demanding discounts that companies may not otherwise want to give.
The company said many of the deals it expected to close in the quarter did not, even after it added 1,700 salespeople in the first half of the year. Revenue at Oracle rose 2% to $8.8 billion, and new software license revenue -- a critical metric -- rose just 2% to $2 billion.
Post continues below.
Not surprisingly, sales and marketing expenses rose 11% to $1.7 billion, representing 19% of revenue, up from 18% a year earlier. Customers are driving hard bargains, and though margins have held up, that may be tough to continue.
In an earnings call with investors, Oracle's chief financial officer said some expected deals suddenly required last-minute additional approvals. "As a result, we are putting in place better deal management so that we have the time and the approvals necessary to take this into account," Safra Catz added.
Red Hat (RHT) shares also tumbled after the provider of software based on the free Linux programming language gave disappointing guidance for the current quarter. Shares of Salesforce.com (CRM), which added more than 1,000 employees this year, also slumped after it reported that customer billings, a critical sign for growth, trailed some analysts' expectations.
Selling software, hardware and related services may get more difficult in 2012. Corporate technology spending is expected to increase by 3.9% to $2.7 trillion, down from an expected 5.9% increase in 2011, according to Gartner. That means the balance of power in technology has swung to customers' favor. To win business, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison and his rivals have to channel their inner Monty Hall and play "Let's Make a Deal."
Ellison will do what it takes to close a sale, even as customers squeeze Oracle for concessions such as steep price cuts along with free upgrades and service. Buyers can demand even better deals if they agree to be a reference customer and tell peers about the awesomeness of whatever product or service Oracle and other tech companies want to sell. Occasionally, reference customers are used to bolster the credibility of corporate press releases. What investors and the public don't realize is that those clients exact a price in exchange for their kind words.
There are many bargains in the tech sector. Unfortunately, they are in software, services and hardware. Stocks of the companies that sell those to business customers will be pressured for some time.

Toni Lyons has her hands full raising her autistic five year old daughter, Twyla, by herself. When the opportunity comes along to make some extra money by being a tester for her friend Eileen's new erotic matchmaking website, Orchid Soul, Toni is not prepared for how her life will change.
Nick Benson moved back into his old home after returning from the war, which has been converted into a duplex – the same one which Toni lives in. No longer the player he used to be, Nick instead fills his days renovating the old home, while grieving for his fiancé that was killed in the war. Being a former computer programmer, Eileen also involves Nick into the Orchid Soul testing. Due to a glitch in the programming, Nick and Toni are matched as a fantasy pair, and their deepest sexual desires are shared over the internet. Though she is stubborn and distant, Nick is determined to discover who she is inside, and to find the part of her that wrote some of the most erotic fantasies he's ever heard. When the wall separating their apartments comes tumbling down, a hot night of sexual reprieve becomes the start of something so much more.
Praise for BETTER ON TOP:
"In this second installment of the Orchid Soul series, the fantasy fulfillment website is still malfunctioning, but we get a wonderful new matched/mismatched couple in Nick and Toni. The way Nick treats Toni's daughter will melt your heart. The beauty of this story is that Nick and Toni's love is worth the wait. The sex ain't bad either!" --Romantic Times
Praise for UP ALL NIGHT:
"The chemistry between the two main characters is ever so potent, and some readers may find themselves taking long wistful sighs after each heart racing love scene. This one will definitely keep your pulses racing all night long." --A Romance Review
Delilah Dawson

Winter-Driving is a very common factor contributing to vehicle accidents. Use the following information provided by http://www.roadandtravel.com/safetyandsecurity/winterdrivingtips.htm to prevent you from being a victim of the weather conditions.
Prepare your vehicle for winter driving; use this checklist:1. Check windshield wiper blades to make sure they work properly. In some areas, snow blades are an effective alternative to conventional wiper blades.2. Have your mechanic test the anti-freeze/coolant to provide the correct level of protection required in your driving area.
3. Make sure your tires are properly inflated. Underinflation can reduce the gripping action of tires because the tread will not meet the road surface as it was designed to do. Overinflation has the same effect.
4. If you live in areas where snow and ice are certainties of winter, don't depend on all-season tires. Instead, install snow tires. Snow tires are made of softer components and have a unique tread design that provide better traction and road-gripping abilities.
5. Keep your gas tank at least half-full. The extra volume can help reduce moisture problems within your fuel system. It also adds helpful weight to your vehicle.
6. In rear-wheel drive vehicles, extra weight in the trunk may be helpful. Use care-- unsecured weight can shift while you are moving or if you have to stop suddenly. Bags of sand can provide weight and, if sprinkled on the ice, sand helps provide traction.
- blanket or extra clothes- candle with matches- snacks- beverages (never alcohol)- flares- C. B. radio, cellular phone or ham radio- a small shovel- flashlight- windshield scraping device- tow rope- bag of sand or cat litter for traction- long jumper cables

Councilwoman Scott invites District 1 to a Garden party on Friday, April 25th
Thursday April 24, 2014
For Immediate Release:
Democratic Caucus
Louisville Metro Counci
lContact: Tony Hyatt 574-4137 / 526-3622
Louisville – One year ago, the corner of 28th and Dumesnil was transformed from a vacant unused lot into a neighborhood center of activity when about 125 volunteers helped create the Parkland Community Garden.
This Friday, Councilwoman Attica Scott (D-1) is inviting residents of the Parkland Neighborhood to come out and celebrate that milestone as a new planting season is ready to begin and learn more about the possible expansion of community gardens into new areas of the district..
"It is amazing how the community has responded to the Community Garden," says Scott. "In honor of this achievement, we are holding a Garden Party at the Parkland Community Garden with food, music and fun."
In 2013, volunteers gathered during the Mayor's Give A Day of Service to create 44 raised garden beds for the community. One year later, the beds are in use by the community and there is a waiting list. Those who come out to the party will learn more about expanding the project to two additional gardens.
"We are looking at creating a Youth garden for young people en District 1 to maintain and we are looking at a Healing garden for the survivors of domestic violence and gun violence," says Scott. "People can learn more about those plans at the garden party on Friday."
Six fruit trees will also be planted on Friday in the Garden. Parkland Neighborhood Improvement Association, Jefferson County Extension Service and Safe Urban Garden Program are partners with the Parkland Community Garden.
For more information about the 1st Year Birthday Celebration for the Parkland Community Garden, contact Councilwoman Scott's office at 574-1101.

Weeks, Recker power River Cats past Tucson
The Sacramento River Cats (10-7) defeated the Tucson Padres (6-11) 4-2 on Saturday night at home, backed by solo home runs by second baseman Jemile Weeks and first baseman Anthony Recker.
Despite losing star outfielder Chris Carter to the disabled list with a sprained thumb and outfielder Matt Carson with a bulky back, the River Cats hitters found just enough power necessary to support a strong pitching effort by starting pitcher Graham Godfrey (2-0).
Weeks wasted little time putting Sacramento on the scoreboard as he launched a leadoff solo home run into the visiting team's bullpen, on Tucson starting pitcher Will Inman's (0-2) second pitch of the game.
Shortstop Eric Sogard and left fielder Steve Tolleson both reached base in the following two plate appearances before pulling off a double steal and later scoring on a two-run single by designated hitter Adrian Cardenas to put the Cats up 3-0 after the first inning.
Inman narrowly escaped further disaster in the first inning, striking out third baseman Josh Horton with based loaded. The righty faced the entirety of the Sacramento lineup in the top of the first, which required 51 pitches and lasted 36 minutes.
Godfrey gave Sacramento a strong outing through five and two-thirds innings, giving up two earned runs on six hits, and adding seven strikeouts on 96 pitches.
With a one-run lead going into the bottom of the sixth inning, Recker provided a crucial insurance run with a one out solo home run to left field. Recker finished the night with two hits, one RBI, one run and a walk in four plate appearances.
The Sacramento bullpen was outstanding as Vinnie Chulk, Michael Wuertz, Fernando Cabrera and Trystan Magnuson allowed one hit, two walks, and struck out four in three and one-third innings of combined work.
In the top of the eighth, Weeks bailed out Cabrera as the fleet-footed infielder ran down Tucson third baseman Jesus Gomez, attempting to score from first on a two out single by former River Cat Aaron Cunningham.
Magnuson retired the side in the top of the ninth, picking up his first save of the young season and ending the game with Tucson shortstop Patrick McKenna striking out on an attempted check swing.
* Center fielder Jai Miller was replaced due to injury in the bottom of the third inning by backup infielder Adam Heether, after Miller failed to reign in a Guillermo Quiroz double in the top half of the inning. Miller is believed to be day-to-day.
* The solo home runs by Weeks and Recker were their first home runs of the season.
* The River Cats honored Jackie Robinson and former negro league star Elmer Carter of the Kansas City Monarchs for their contributions to breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball.

Blaine woman knows the real meaning of community
By Judy Urquhart
Judy Urquhart of Blaine sometimes uses her writing skills to remind corporate executives that she wants no nonsense excuses when their products don't meet her expectations. Mostly, she likes to write about kind people, her family and friends, and why she is so cheerful about the excitement of being alive.
What is a community? Until now I have never honestly considered that question. But during the past few months I have learned what makes a community. I want to say an enormous "thank you" to wonderful, caring people who have taught me.
During these months I have experienced one ordeal after another. Through these hardship I have learned much as I met the most marvelous, compassionate and generous people in my community of Blaine.
I think back to a particular morning when I sat in my rocking chair struggling about how to express my thanks, how I could explain my appreciation and gratitude for the kindness and help from new friends and neighbors, some of them I have yet to meet.
On that morning I decided the best way would be to write something they all could read. But first, I had to warm up and eat something, and that meant turning off my portable heaters. If I didn't, my circuits would blow when I turned on the microwave and hot plate some lovely new friends loaned me when I moved into my new trailer.
For typical folks and in normal conditions, it's no big deal to reset a circuit. But I was not typical then, and my circumstances were not normal. To reach my electrical box I would have to trudge through my neighbor's yard. I could use the back door except that would mean removing the blankets and sleeping bag I use to insulate my trailer from the cold outside. And then I'd have to unlock and take a long, dangerous step down, and then back up. So, I'm practical. I turn off the heaters before I cook.
On that morning I wrapped a heated rice-filled pillow case around my feet. A new neighbor taught me that trick. And then I had to make a decision. Should I reheat my tea and oatmeal or stay wrapped in lots of clothes and blankets before finding enough courage to do my morning yoga exercises?
Four hours earlier I had dragged my body out of bed, out from beneath the pile of blankets that were so generously given to me. I could still see my breath. When will I have my furnace and stove fixed? When will I be able to come home to a warm home, cook a meal without performing this crazy, shivering ritual I have endured during the four weeks since my new home arrived?
Oh how excited I was at the prospect of having all my problems disappear as I got rid of the old falling-apart trailer and brought in a newer, nicer, more roomy one. I remember the joy I felt when the trailer arrived one day sooner than I had planned. Visions of being dry, warm, content, and comfortable, swam before my eyes. No more rain dripping on my head, no more watching the roof and walls fall apart, and no more mold! I was ecstatic.
I survived the discoveries that the furnace didn't work, that the innards of my new home weren't quite as represented, and that the folks supposed to fix all the problems had no sense of urgency or compassion for my frozen self.
These past few months as I experienced one ordeal after another I have learned many wonderful things. Through these hardships, I have met the most marvelous, compassionate, generous people in our community. I am continually awed by the outpouring of help that I have encountered, help given physically, spiritually, financially, and emotionally.
So, I want to thank each of you for being there for me and encouraging me. I'm going to forget some names, I know, but you will know and I'll remember sometime when we meet. My forgetfulness in no way is a sign that I appreciate you less.
So, thank you, Jan, for helping me find my new home, and Patty, who made it possible for me to get it. Toni, Kay Dee, Jan, Burt, Alvin and many others, thank you for offering temporary homes for me and my pets. Thank you Lynne, Marnie, and Armene for the warm blankets, and Eleanor for knowing how much I would need the warm robe, fleece blanket, warm boots, and socks, even before I knew it. Joy, thank you for giving me a most comfortable bed.
Thank you, David, for bringing me the bed and helping me out. Mary, Rita, and Karla, thank you for the hot soup, gloves and heater and the encouraging support. I'm grateful to George for the use of a microwave to fix meals and to Burt for the use of his hot plate.
I cannot forget to thank my son, Dustin, for helping me lift and move heavy things. I could not have done it without you. And Scott, who came over and quickly fixed my propane leaks and stove. Wow, what a joy to have a stove to cook on! Hopefully I will have my propane furnace running soon, and I will be back to a quiet, simplified life. I am thankful I live in this wonderful community.
I am very grateful. I live in a true community.

DVD News
Harry's DVD PICK & PEEKS: 3rd week of June, KISS ME DEADLY Blu, TAKE A HARD RIDE Dvd, William Castle, UNKNOWN and More!!!
Hey folks, Harry here with today's releases on DVD and Blu. Tragedy befell my geek estate as a traumatic bulb explosion accidently damaged my project so I'm waiting for a new projector, that I'm supposed to get this Wednesday… praying for no delays, I must have my glowy wall back! Any way, as a result there's a few more titles I list here that I have not gotten to check out yet, but once I get my projector this week I plan on visiting and sharing my thoughts on those titles. As usual the pics and links take you to Amazon, where you can learn more on a title and even purchase it, which would go to continue to bring my best efforts on this column. Now, here we go with one of the great Film Noirs…
Tuesday, June 21st, 2011
KISS ME DEADLY – Criterion Blu
Last year, for BUTT-NUMB-A-THON, I required every entrant to have viewed KISS ME DEADLY – or at least fake it real well, to gain admittance. Why? Because Robert Aldrich's adaptation of Mickey Spillane's KISS ME DEADLY is one of the most blisteringly awesome, searing Film Noirs with a kicker that takes teeth! That image on the cover just does not even touch the awesome Aldrich has in store for the viewer. This was a film that Robert Rodriguez introduced me to – and I've loved it ever since. I'm dying to watch this disc. I'm clawing at the box wanting to see it, but my projector had a cataclysmic bulb explosion that wound up damaging something, so I'm upgrading to a new projector and want desperately to open my copy of this and watch just how beautiful this transfer is. The typical Criterion job on films like this is just spectacular and this is one of the great Noirs. Just electrifying! Scene after terrific scene.
Plus Criterion gives us these extras:
New high-definition restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack
Audio commentary by film noir specialists Alain Silver and James Ursini
New video tribute from director Alex Cox (Repo Man, Walker)
Excerpts from The Long Haul of A. I. Bezzerides, a 2005 documentary on the Kiss Me Deadly screenwriter
Excerpts from Mike Hammer's, Mickey Spillane, a 1998 documentary on the author whose book inspired the film
A look at the film's locations
Altered ending
Theatrical trailer
PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by critic J. Hoberman and a 1955 reprint by director Robert Aldrich
January Jones is pretty good in this. And Liam Neeson has hit his action stride. UNKNOWN is one of those desperate personal self-discovery films… in the same genre of something like D.O.A. (both versions) or THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT, my fave being Gregory Peck in Alfred Hitchcock's SPELLBOUND. But UNKNOWN is a great actiony who-am-i-oh-fuck types of films. There's a terrific style, pacing and sense of paranoia about UNKNOWN. The situation is uniquely fucked up. Terribly so. I hope Liam does a dozen different taut action thrillers. It is a great genre fit for him. I love it.
I love this film. Just personally, while I was spending the first 2 and a half months of 2011 in a hospital recovering from surgery, this was the very first exit visa experience I had outside of the hospital. Going to the Alamo Drafthouse VILLAGE and watching THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU and, both Yoko and I love this movie. That several didn't, made it even more aggressively an "our film" kind of movie. The less you know about it the better, just know it's based on Philip K Dick – and helps continue to make me fall in movie screen love with Emily Blunt. And, I just love determined Matt Damon movies. I really really do.
I absolutely didn't feel pleased in the least watching this movie. Channing Tatum stares dazed throughout this lumberous adventure. I absolutely don't like anything about it. And it's all really intangible. I vastly prefer CENTURION which is just a more pulpy thrilling 9th Legion tale – but this… it just feels so incredibly inconsequential to me. That Tatum's best is Duke in G.I.JOE leaves me in fear of each and every role awarded him. Jamie Bell gives off being annoyed throughout the film. Big yawn. I do begrudge the time spent watching this.
I really wanted to love this Michael Bay film, but just didn't. It felt like material that was constantly holding back. It wanted to be sexier and more violent & thrilling, but it just couldn't be that and be PG13. So it oddly feels very blah. It all looks fucking amazing, because Bay is one of the most amazing shooters in the business, but this was not one of his best days out.
Dying to see this. Disc came after the projector go boom, and came out in my theater sabbatical. I love Ed Helms and am really curious to see it because I've heard a lot of great word on the film. Wednesday is taunting me, I really do miss my glowy wall!
I love TAKE A HARD RIDE. I've wanted to see this movie ever since I first saw the trailer as a kid on my Dad's Weird Western Trailer reel. The dynamic between Jim Brown and Fred Williamson is fucking terrific. I wish there were dozens of adventure Westerns with those two and Jim Kelly. It is a crazy awesome violent dynamic that just kicks a lot of ass in the old west. When I began to realize that Jim Kelly was a man, who had his tongue cut from his mouth, raised a tracker and fighter – and who RUNS EVERYWHERE in that manner Jim Kelly does when he glide jogs in place. The most graceful cross country jogging you'll ever see – but the great part is how alert and alive Jim Kelly is to the scene. Checking shit out, smelling things, tasting shit in the dirt. All in the same shot. Nothing compares to watching Fred Williamson and Jim Brown fighting as Jim Kelly smiled from a mountaintop watching. Somewhere there was an earthquake. These two guys fighting each other. It's literally like a clash of the titans. I love how all thee super egos are balanced without ever sacrificing each other's maximum level of cool. But then… there's other people in this thing, like fucking Lee Van Cleef!!! Dana Andrews! Barry Sullivan! Harry Carey Jr. That friend of Cleavon Little's from BLAZING SADDLES! I mean the film is loaded. And I love it. I love that it is a literal bag of money movie – and it is epic. LOVE IT COMPLETELY! RIO CONCHOS, I like, but I can't watch it around TAKE A HARD RIDE, which is just a totally different scale of awesome.
The Women In Cages Collection ( BIG DOLL HOUSE, WOMEN IN CAGES, THE BIG BIRD)
Upfront warning, while this is an excellent DVD, on August 23rd of this year, these three will be coming out on Blu Ray – and personally – if you're in an HD world, I'd hold off for that. But if not, and you're committed to DVD – well pick it up. These are 3 of the very best caged women flicks. They're crazy sexy, all kinds of depraved and fun! Roger Corman understood the genre and Jack Hill did it best. Unless we're talking Women In Prison, in which case I say that Jonathan Demme wins best women behind bars flick. Right?
MEGA PYTHON VS GATOROID Blu Ray
Oh man wow. I highly recommend this absolutely awful film, because folks… you simply must watch Tiffany and Debbie Gibson on this awesome crazy exploitation crap effects fest that just hits a level of camp and kitsch that I fell in love. Tiffany may very well be either the most brilliant or terrible actress I've ever scene. It is astonishing. There are things in this film that made me gasp at how impossibly bad it was, but in a what the fuck entertaining manner. Most video games have superior visual effects in actual game play modes. Even some for the Wii. But it's the face off of Debbie Gibson and Tiffany that just blew me away. Watching these two teen queens doing the funky straight to Blu Ray type fun… well, morbid pleasure.
If you love films like Joe Dante's MATINEE or Tim Burton's ED WOOD – give this documentary a try and then check out the William Castle films. There's just a tremendous debt we film geeks have to pay to dear old William Castle. The one time P.T. Barnum of Film Exhibition. I love it. Without William Castle – Tim League would not be the same. Castle is the guy that hooked up buzzers to seats, Rigged theaters for special in theater effects. All while operating in the horror genre. I love William Castle and have played the part of the theater victim a few times at screenings of THE TINGLER, where I had to tear a lobster apart as though it was the Tingler itself! Acquaint yourself with one of the great showmen of all time!
So, Carla Gugino plays titular porn star, ELEKTRA LUXX… Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a hilarious online video plogger who specializes upon talking about porn stars with a rather dedicated affection for Miss Luxx. I like ELEKTRA LUXX, but I do prefer the original WOMEN IN TROUBLE. Of which this is a sequel of sorts. I love Marley Shelton in this, but really this is Carla and Levitt's flick, they're both great at what they're asked to do here. Lots of beautiful women like Emmanuelle Chriqui and Malin Ackerman also feature. I really enjoyed it.
THE ROMANTIC ENGLISHWOMAN Blu Ray
Dying to see this. Another victim of the projector, Written by Tom Stoppard, starring a pair of 2-time Academy Award winners in Glenda Jackson and Michael Caine. All I know is that I love just about everything I've seen Michael Caine in from the Seventies – and I can't wait to see this – and figure out what the film is exactly. It'll probably be one of the first things I put in to check out.
Absolute complete and utter insanity. I almost can't believe it. More laughs than CHUCK NORRIS: KARATE KOMMANDOS, but the same kind of wow at times. Our world was so beautiful once!
Sir Ian McKellen plays D.H. Lawrence, Ava Gardner, Sir John Gielgud – and I can't wait to see it. I've heard about this film for a while, back when Ian McKellen blew me away with RICHARD III, I found out about this flick but just have never been at the right place and time to see it. Can't wait to finally watch it. I'll report back here when I do.
Wow, this rules. Will Rogers doing his adaptation of THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW and it just rules. Seriously. It sometimes feels like magic. It really is simply unlike anything we really have today. They also put the 22 minute Harold Lloyd short, HAUNTED SPOOKS… I love them both absolutely. Something I'll watch again this October.
Next week we get THE LORD OF THE RINGS Expanded Editions on Blu, SUCKER PUNCH, SEASON OF THE WITCH, ANCIENT ALIENS: SEASON TWO, BEASTLY, COWBOY BEBOP THE MOVIE, THE WARRIOR'S WAY, THE NESTING on Blu, SERENITY Blu, ZATHURA Blu, THE LAST STARFIGHTER Blu, ZAZIE DANS LE METRO Criterion Blu, NIGHTMARES, BLACK MOON Criterion Blu, PEOPLE ON SUNDAY Criterion Blu, ZOMBIE HOLOCAUST Blu, CHALLENGE OF THE GOBOTS, THE BABY, BLOODY BIRTHDAY and more.

It's one of those movies where chances are if i watch it again ill realize it wasn't that good (like the naked gun 33 1/3)...but i recall really enjoying the intriguing story. i dont recall any good dialogue, acting, pacing, directing, etc. but i recall it being a pretty interesting story where i wanted to know how it ends.

ISLAND does not exist in this dojo
by Cobra--Kai
I remember watching THE ISLAND and about an hour in I spake to my disciples - 'you know what this movie's pretty fucking good. Why did it get such bad reviews?'. It was a cool LOGANS RUN type sci-fi scenario with Ewan McGregor and Sean Bean, nice sense of mystery and pacing. ...and then it kind of disintegrated. As soon as they left the Island place wherever it was the movie went to shit. Harry nails it with his comment. It turned into an anaemic chase movie without any balls - it needed to be sexier and harder in the second act.

It's not a good film, but there's at least some character work, a bit of a story, some themes, ideas and it felt like he was taking it seriously.

The Island
by Skraggo
So far, it's the only Michael Bay movie that I think I might have maybe possibly almost liked. Granted, I've only seen it once, and like melgibsoncalledmethenword said, it might completely collapse upon repeat viewings.

The Adjustmen Bureau
by HornOrSilk
Good movie, and, though the ending is of a kind I question PKD would have done, nonetheless works in relation to audience expectations. PKD would have been far more dangerous -- he might have allowed the couple to get together, but, as with the original story, it would end with a kind of threat which would always be there for them.

DO NOT backhand "Rio Conchos"! It rocks...
by darthliquidator
Very disappointed to see Harry give short shrift to the awesomely badass "Rio Conchos"...where do I begin...incredible Jerry Goldsmith score...starts off with Richard Boone wiping out an Apache funeral party!...and gets crazier and more violent from then on...follows an "Impossible Mission" storyline (like "The Professionals"...and has a similar sequence where the heroes decimate a band of giggling sadistic bandidos..)...brutal and doggedly unsentimental all the way through...with a supporting cast of classic scenery-chewers (Boone, Anthony Franciosa, Edmond 'O Brien) One of my all time favorite westerns..no corny "code of the west" friendship stuff here...just a group of pissed off guys kicking ass from start to finish.

RE: The Island Typical AICN
by Cruizer Dave

A prime example of how proper grammar and punctuation can keep one from looking like a complete ass. And Harry "requiring" people to have seen a movie in order to get into his fancy schmancy little elitist film fest sounds awfully power hungry and egotistical.

I think why fanboys hate The Island
by sunwukong86
is because it heavily borrows concepts from movies like Logan's Run and THX 1138, and probably because Michael Bay directed it.
June 21, 2011, 11:27 a.m. CST
by Dollar Bird
"Sir Ian McKellen plays D.H. Lawrence, Ava Gardner, Sir John Gielgud" He plays all three in one movie? Astonishing. It's my understanding that Scar Jo really wanted to unleash her sweater puppies in a scene of "The Island" but Michael Bay said no. I'll never forgive him for that. But that could have made your desired sexier film.

The Island was really bad
by homer40
The Island was a terrible movie. The action was badly staged, and the performances were just lost. It is an important subject, and luckily for us, there was a great film made about it last year. Skip The Island and rent "Never Let Me Go". Or watch both, and see the difference between a good movie and a bad one. "Never Let Me Go" was, IMHO, the best film of 2010 by far. It is a devastating work of cinematic art, a movie that you will not easily shake.

You could add little 3D hologram graphics to subltly spruce the monitors without anybody batting an eyelid if done right.

It's been two weeks now that it's been known among a/v enthusiasts and apparently Peter Jackson (and Harry) the the first movie in the new Extended Edition LotR trilogy Blu ray box set was utterly screwed up in the encoding stage and has an ugly green tint through the entire movie.

Adjustment Bureau was a great romance movie without teens!
by Mattman
Proved that not every romance movie has to have teens staring into each other's eyes for two hours, or adults acting like fools. The sci-fi element was neat (loved the doors in the end), and it perfectly serves the theme of "choice". Also, Blunt and Damon had very convincing chemistry, which is not something I can say for many romances, unfortunately. I might have to pick up that blu-ray.

As far as I know, the puppies remained sequestered in Lady Jojo's clothing and were never brought out to see the light of day/lens of camera. It was just an idea the woman posed to the man, and the man shut down before reason could enter the argument.

why defukk do you think Harry et al are going to badmouth the releases of the LOTR? A--he prolly cant tell the difference. Second-He links the recs to Amazon which give him a tidy percentage. A percentage of the 15 disc set will be a nice chunk of change. Plus he gets free screeners. He sure as shit doesnt want that to stop. D-A couple little films are coming out in the near future called THE HOBBIT. He would like FutureSwag or a set visit to said filming. If Harry has learned one thing about the business of film...its dont bite the hand that feeds you. His latest example is the GL review.

I really like the "Kiss Me Deadly" box art
by mr.underwater
It looks like a shitty pulp paperback, and like most shitty pulp paperbacks, it depicts a scene that never happens in the story. But other than that, the extra are pretty meh. I would have loved a commentary or an essay from Jean Luc Godard since this movie pretty much kick-started the french new wave.
Natalie is a mom now. She is wise and knows a good meal when she sees one

The Island started at interesting and ended with horrible
by Andrew Coleman
So much promise at the beginning. Then Michael Bay's inner douche took over. Suddenly half way through things get epically shitty.

The movie The Island rips off the most shamelessly is Parts: The Clonus Horror
by Nasty In The Pasty
A cheesy 1979 sci-fi flick that was roasted on MST3K. Watch both back-to-back and you'll see why the writier/director or Parts successfully sued Bay and Dreamworks on a plagarism lawsuit. It's kind of stunning how idential they are (only Bay's film add a shit-ton of explosions and product placements). That said (ha), The Island is the least-horrible movie Bay has made to date, as the really aggrivating action stuff is at least confined to the last third.

by THE_CHOPPAH
Until it abruptly stops and they realize "Hey this is a Michael Bay movie, we need to blow shit up!!!!!" Then it's typical Bay stuff. Hey, it's testosterone overload at its finest, but fuck Bay, make up your mind. Oh and no Scarlett Johansson titties? That right there makes it a total fail.

The Island is the only Bay movie I like
by Mattman
I don't think it's perfect or anything, but it actually tries to be something more than your standard Bay film, and generally succeeds more than it fails. I even enjoy the freeway and speeder-bike action scenes, because I was invested in the two main characters. Scarlett was looking her best in that. And I must admit, I'm a sucker for most films with Sean Bean.

The Adjustment Bureau
by Real Deal
One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. And Mattman is correct it's a love story for grownups. I really liked the sort of classic Mythology ending where the creation has to stand on it's own without the creator. Plus I have a certain weakness when it comes to Emily Blunt ( besides being a really good actress she's drop dead gorgeous ). Also every movie I see Matt Damon in I have more and more respect for him as an actor. By the end of the movie you're really rooting for him to succeed against impossible odds ( the running scene at the end is great ). What the reviewers have been saying about their chemistry on screen is true and really helps make the movie. Also the movie looks really good on Bluray. The only bitch I have about the disc is it should have had more special features.
June 25, 2011, 1:50 p.m. CST
Saw "The Adjustment Bureau" last night
by Tristan
Matt Damon and Emily Blunt have good chemistry, but i was disappointed this film was a love story and I didn't like that the AB was just trying to break them apart. And yeah, the whole AB concept is far-fetched and how they have that kind of power\control, but it is kinda interesting. I still was confused about how the AB was able to do what they could do and the "chairman"...sigh, I hope they weren't talking about what I think they were talking about. I didn't read Dick's "Adjustment Team", but I bet it's a much better story and handles the idea of this society in a far more, creative manner. I was hoping and expecting this film to be something more exciting and NOT about a love story. I think the trailers failed to show us the opposite.
June 26, 2011, 12:57 p.m. CST
real deal, Emily Blunt
by Mattman
Did you watch the feature on Emily Blunt learning to dance? That was amazing. I had no idea she WASN'T a dancer. When I first saw the movie, i just assumed she had been a dancer all her life, because she came off as such a pro.

Is Tiffany the Mega-Python or the Gatoroid?
by Gary Busey's Upper Half
And if Michael Bay really did turn down the opportunity to share ScarJo's bouncies with the rest of us, he's a huge fucking cunt. That alone would have guaranteed The Island getting Avatar-sized grosses. ScarJo full frontal? HIGHEST GROSSING FILM OF ALL TIME.
June 27, 2011, 10:33 a.m. CST
Re : mattman
by Real Deal
Yes I did! And yes she looked very convincing. Yes she's really a professional who gets into her part. I have many good things to say about this movie. Unlike some I didn't hate the fact that it was a love story. Many great stories where man has to fight for freedom to choose your own destiny involve love so I didn't mind that it was a love story. Basically so was " The Graduate ". That doesn't mean that's all it contained. The movie was very well done on many levels FX, photography, music, and acting. I would have liked to have seen the other ending but I think it was just as satisfying the way it ended.
June 27, 2011, 12:14 p.m. CST
Real deal, yeah, the point is it was a GOOD love story
by Mattman
I really appreciated the theme of choice and the concern that focusing on love can destroy your dreams, and vice versa. I think that is a very real issue in life and it was nice to see it dealt with in an entertaining fashion. Not to mention, the two of them just had such wonderful instant chemistry.
June 30, 2011, 6:48 a.m. CST
The Island = Spares
by i_got_worms
Isn't The Island a reworking of the ideas from Michael Marshall Smith's Spares? I have a feeling that the rights to MMS's book were acquired and that The Island was the result.... even though they're very different aside from the 'clones for spares' idea.
July 10, 2011, 11:43 a.m. CST

Not the most logically consistent movie, but enjoyable enough to follow along for just under two hours. Best part was seeing January Jones get blowed up real good.

Theresa and Ed made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. The small town setting is genuine, the room was quiet and clean, and we felt that we could come and go, or make ourselves comfortable there, however we wanted to. Breakfast was delicious. All for a reasonable price.

Wonderful NH country charm, great house, very comfortable. Food excellent! Theresa and Ed were outstanding hosts, great conversations were had. Most enjoyable history stories of the house and village. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

I had emailed the Inn and asked for a room with a fireplace and I got a almost immediate response that they did have a room available for the evening I wished to stay ( it was short notice). We had never been to a B&B before. Upon arrival I was greeted by a very nice woman that was helpful and friendly. Made me feel very at home even though it was her home! When my guest arrived we both were made to feel very comfortable. Our room was clean, organized and cozy. Charming as charming goes. Beautiful quilts, fireplace and a little fridge that came in quite handy! The next morning we went to a homemade breakfast and got to talk with our Innkeepers and other guests. It was wonderful. Id recommend this B&B to anyone. Im positive we will stay again.

This B&B was such a great place to stay for the weekend. The husband and wife were so nice and the breakfasts they cooked were delicious.

Our stay was very nice and an exceptional value for the cost. The hosts are very personable and friendly and helpful in suggesting nearby activities and restaurants. Breakfast was plentiful but the quality was not above the average of all B&Bs we have stayed in over the past 20 years.

We stayed here on both ends of our trip from California to Maine through Manchester airport. It was excellent. We have stayed before and each time it is like visiting friends. The Sterlings are such gracious and lovely hosts. The grounds and home are beautiful. Breakfast delicious. Everything is perfect.

The rooms were very nice and the hosts were more than willing to chat both about the house and the town. They were quite accommodating. The only downside is the shared bathroom, but the low price combined with the lovely rooms and pleasant location more than make it worthwhile

The Stephen Clay Homestead B & B was the perfect setting for our wedding and Ed & Theresa were the most wonderful hosts. They were very helpful with the preparations and cleanup and very accommodating. The grounds were really beautiful for a June wedding and provided a very nice background for our wedding pictures. You could tell they take very good care of the grounds. The inn itself was very quaint and cozy and the suite we were in was very comfortable. It made you feel at home. Breakfast was also delicious and very filling. I am so glad I found the Stephen Clay B & B to have our wedding at! Thank you Ed & Theresa!
