Wang Theatre
270 Tremont Street,
18 people favorited this theater
Showing 1 - 25 of 144 comments
A bit of an aside, but perhaps someone may also have heard that in the 20's and 30's, there was a night club in the basement of the Metropolitan called The Platinum Salon. It was owned and run by my grandfather. I'm not sure of the exact dates. I know that many big bands played there and I have some photos of the club which are quite stunning. And one other note, Louis Armstrong stayed at my grandparents' (and father's) house when he played in Boston as I believe he was unable to rent a hotel room in the so-called liberal North. In any case, my father worked at the counter for many years. There were movies as well as live bands and some theater in the main hall during those years.
except, it's not a cinema anymore. No movies are shown here.
You people are so lucky having a cinema like this.. Amazing
My Mother has fond memories of seeing "THE TAMING OF THE SHREW" at this theater when it was THE METROPOLITAN. Also from what I've been told they had the first 3D movie in the Boston Area at this theater, it was a really big deal (still trying to get the title)…
The street address on the MGM Report is 268 Tremont St., not Washington St.
The Theatre Historical Society archive has the MGM Theatre Report for the (then) Metropolitan Theatre at 268 Washington St., Boston. The theater's condition was rated "Excellent". There were 2239 orchestra seats, 1788 balcony seats, and 222 seats in the loges; total: 4,249. There is an exterior photo taken in April 1941. The "Met" had a huge, long marquee which ran almost the entire width of the building,but it was rather narrow,not very high.
I'm trying to contact Frank C. Grace, the photographer of the above photo. Please email me at
Thank you

Seventy-five years ago today, Paramount's "Maid of Salem," a B&W historical drama set in Puritan times, opened its world premiere engagement at the Metropolitan Theatre. Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray starred in the tale of suspected witchcraft. Topping the Metropolitan's stage show was Cockney/British character actor and comedian Herbert Mundin, supported by Radcliff & Rogers, the Picchiani Troupe, Dale Winthrop, and the resident Dancing Starlettes. On weekdays from morning opening until 1:00pm, the Metropolitan charged 35 cents for all seats.
I was downtown yesterday and noticed a crew and crane working at the front of the Shubert Theatre directly across from the Wang. Looks like they have torn down the top half of the Shubert's facade. What's that all about??? The Shubert will be 102 years old in January and is in very good condition. Unfortunately, it's dark most of the time due to lack of product.
I was allowed to photograph the inside of this magnificent theatre last Friday. I have uploaded the few that I have had time to process here. Wow, what an amazing theatre!
thanks Chuck,Great pictures.
Great shots of the Wang Theatre.
In a 1918 Boston street directory, the site of the Wang Th., between the Wilbur Th. and Hollis St., was occupied by the New Richword Hotel.
Grand old theatre .great stories.
Thank you so much. That information is very helpful to me.
ginabiehn – for movie titles look at the Met's ads in the entertainment section of Boston newspapers, such as the Globe and Post for the years you want to write about. The papers are on file on microfilm at the Boston Public Library. For many years after it opened, the Met was a first-run movie theater, so the ticket prices were a bit higher than in the neighborhood houses. (example: in 1955, about 75 cents at night, versus 45 or 50 cents in a "nabe".)The Met attracted a wide mass audience.
Thank you all for your very informative discussion about the Metropolitan/Wang theatre in Boston. I am working on a project about the old movie palaces of the 1920's and 30's and I chose this theatre to research. Would anybody have any infomation or know of any places where I could research exactly what movies were playing there in that time period? Or about the people who attended? Any links or tips for research would be much appreciated. Thank you
Would like to see photos of the new electronic marquees.I hope it enhanced the theatres because the marquee on the Wang was very boring.brucec
The marquee which forms a rain canopy over the sidewalk has been redecorated. As posted above, there is a large electronic marquee above it, perpendicular to the facade. There are similar new electronic marquees next door at the Wilbur Theatre and across the street on the Shubert.

I have heard that there was a screening room in the Met with some 90 seats in it for showing new movies to "the trade". It was located upstairs somewhere at the front of the house. The space is still there, but the mini-cinema is long gone.

Football's biggest game is now only a little over a week away and New Yorkers are in the grips of a Super Bowl hysteria the likes of which you would barely be able to discern. I live here so let me try to explain.
Baby its cold outside. Though many Northeastern and Midwestern cities regularly deal with brutal winters, New Yorkers are fairly used to snow and frigid temps as well. But this is the winter that we were all introduced to the term "polar vortex," which seemed borne out of the Ice Age doomsday film The Day After Tomorrow. Anyway, after temps yo-yoed from high-60s to low-teens in December they have finally settled around the single digit mark with wind chills running into the negatives. Yeah, it's freezing here, and that seems to be all anyone wants to talk about. Local newscasts have pretty much been devoting 75% of their broadcasts to the subject. I personally don't care, and still wear shorts when I take my kid to school each morning earning the nickname "the guy that doesn't wear pants," which I love. So rather than being preoccupied about the Super Bowl, people here are preoccupied about the weather. About the only overlap you'll hear is when someone says, "I hope they have to play that game in a blizzard," which we're all not-so-secretly hoping for.
Hype? What hype? My brother-in-law and his family flew up from Orlando for a visit for the MLK Jr. weekend and one of the first things he asked was, "so are they doing anything special in the city for the Super Bowl?" I told him that I was sure that they were but that no one really gave a damn. He commented that the only signs he'd seen that the Super Bowl was about to be played were some oh-so-subtle stickers on the bottom of the luggage carousels at LaGuardia Airport -- the kind of advertising that only roaches and rats could spot. I personally saw only one mention on the news about some department store (Macy's maybe?) devoting an entire floor to Super Bowl products and memorabilia. But, that's been about it. I just checked and it looks like there is a bunch of SB-themed events happening in and around the city. There's a food festival near Madison Square Garden (a place where folks lose-their-lunch nightly watching the Knicks) for a mere 400 bucks. There's also a Super Bowl Block Party in Times Square starting this Wednesday. To be clear, real New Yorkers avoid Times Square like the plague. The people you see freezing there on New Year's Eve are pale-faced zombies from parts unknown. In any event, there's stuff happening but the locals don't really know about any of it.
New York F***ing City! Down around Chinatown you can't walk more than a block without seeing a baseball cap or t-shirt for sale with the phrase "New York F***ing City!" on it. No one really buys these things (although I did around 20 years when I was really plastered) but the crude phrase does make a point. This is New York City and there is no shortage of human drama and exciting things to do on a daily basis to drop everything and spend two weeks paying full attention to a football game not featuring a local team. If the NFL wants that kind of fawning they should keep the game in cities like Jacksonville and Indianapolis (no offense). New Orleans works so well because people in the Big Easy are always up for a party, no matter the occasion, and events such as the Super Bowl can seamlessly slide into that atmosphere with everyone being happy. Same goes for Miami. Bottom line, there is so much happening in New York that people can't be bothered to pay complete attention to a game like the Super Bowl. It's great, yes, but so are the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty and the Guggenheim, and most native New Yorkers don't pay those classic landmarks much mind. We love that they are here but they kind of get gobbled up by the city itself, and the same goes for the Super Bowl. It's the biggest sporting event around but not as big as New York. It's part of the landscape this week but by February 3rd it will have moved on like a luxury liner chugging out of New York harbor towards the Atlantic.
So, there you have it, the Super Bowl is almost here and it will hopefully be a great game. But, like pretty much the rest of the world, most New Yorkers will be watching the game from the comfort of their cramped, over-priced apartments.

D.C. Council Should Ban Campaign Contributions From Government Contractors
With Pay-to-Play Scandals Pounding at the City's Door, Council Should Act, Public Citizen Testifies to Committee
WASHINGTON, D.C. –The District of Columbia should adopt ethics reforms that would prohibit campaign contributions and expenditures by government contractors in D.C. elections without further delay, Public Citizen's Craig Holman testified today.
"The District of Columbia is embroiled in accusations that business interests seeking lucrative government contracts from city government are footing the bill to elect those who have authority over awarding those contracts," said Craig Holman, government affairs lobbyist for Public Citizen's Congress Watch division. "Pay-to-play abuses waste taxpayer dollars when contracts are awarded based on campaign donations rather than merit and undermine the public's confidence in D.C. government."
In the wake of the most recent allegations, D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray and Attorney General Irvin Nathan have drafted the "Comprehensive Campaign Finance Reform Amendment Act of 2013." The measure offers a number of much-needed campaign reforms but, most importantly, it contains sweeping pay-to-play restrictions that would squarely address the recent campaign finance scandals of government contractors attempting to influence District elections.
Holman testified before the Committee on Government Operations. Another committee hearing is scheduled next week; the committee could vote as soon as April. The measure would then go to the full Council.
If adopted, the mayor's pay-to-play reforms would be among the strongest in the nation. Government contractors would be prohibited from making campaign contributions to, or expenditures on behalf of, any District candidate or official who is or could be involved in awarding the contract.
"Government contractor" is broadly defined in the legislation to include all senior executives of the company seeking a contract, aggregated together as a single entity. The spouses and dependent children of the executives would be limited to contributions of no more than $300 per election to covered officials and their committees.
Moreover, the mayor's proposal offers strong enforcement actions against egregious violations, including civil and criminal penalties for violations by government officials and disqualification from receiving future government contracts for violations by contractors.
"By taking the simple step of divorcing campaign contributions from government contracts, this reform proposal will go a very long way toward cleaning up District politics and ensuring the integrity of the government contracting process," said Lisa Gilbert, director of Public Citizen's Congress Watch division.
Holman's testimony is available at http://www.citizen.org/documents/holman-dc-pay-to-play-testimony-march-21-2013.pdf.

Public Citizen, Inc., an IRS § 501(c)(4) entity, lobbies Congress to advance Public Citizen's mission of protecting public health and safety, advancing government transparency, and urging corporate accountability. Public Citizen Foundation, however, is an IRS § 501(c)(3) organization.

Waters of the United States (WOTUS)
Letter (send by October 15th)
(9/30/14) The WTA and National Association of Towns and Townships (NATaT) are requesting your assistance to help lobby for modifications to WOTUS (Waters of the United States), a proposed rule defining what waters are "waters of the United States" and under the jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act (CWA). The CWA has been a critical tool in cleaning up our nation's lakes and rivers, enhancing water quality, and managing for water quantity. Clean water is extremely important to town citizens and our rural economies. We have and will continue to collaborate with many great partners to ensure that our water and environment is protected for current and future town citizens.
However, many, including WTA and NATaT, believe that WOTUS has the potential to expand CWA jurisdiction over additional "other waters", including some ditches. With some changes and clarification, the EPA and Corps of Engineers can achieve our town interests to protect our valuable water resources within an efficient, common sense system of government. To help impact the decision making process, we are requesting that your town submit the "model" letter that is linked below to the EPA. This is a model letter and you must insert your town's name twice on the first page and once on the last page. The EPA address is included on the top of the letter. We encourage you to submit this on your town's letterhead. Also, please feel free to send your U.S. Congressman and Senators.

As the Philadelphia 76ers continue to search for the man they'll be picking with the No. 3 pick in the 2014 NBA draft on June 26, a 6-10 power forward out of Indiana will look to make a sound impression on the franchise later this week.
Noah Vonleh, the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, will work out for the 76ers on Thursday, according to a report by Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports.
Former Indiana forward Noah Vonleh to work out for Sixers on Thursday, a source told Yahoo Sports.
— Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) June 17, 2014
In his only season at Indiana, Vonleh averaged a near double-double of 11.3 points and 9.0 rebounds for the Hoosiers, including shooting 52.3 percent from the field. Indiana failed to make the NCAA March Madness Tournament for the first time since 2011.
While Andrew Wiggins, Joel Embiid and Jabari Parker are all assumed to be the first three prospects selected in the draft, there's always a chance Vonleh could move up and knock someone off their perch.
Even so, the 18-year-old believes a pick from No. 4 to No. 12 is more realistic.
"I've heard the fourth pick to the 12th pick is wide open," Vonleh said (per CBS Sports). "[I think I'll be selected] anywhere in that range."
John Gonzalez of CSNPhilly.com believes Vonleh could be a nice complementary piece next to Nerlens Noel in the frontcourt:
Well, he'd have no problem running the floor and keeping up with the Sixers' pace. Pair him with Nerlens Noel and suddenly the Sixers should be an excellent rebounding and shot blocking team. If he can develop his three-point shot, he would be able to run the pick-and-pop and the pick-and-roll. That would give the Sixers two athletic big men with different offensive games that could pose serious matchup issues for opponents.

When you walk into Pinnacle Sports Grill, there's a good chance your eyes will jump right to the giant video cube looming above a central brick-island bar. It's a standout in this flat-screen-filled temple of football, baseball, and basketball, a statement that sports should be taken just as seriously as food. Like the athletes onscreen, the gastropub's menu covers a lot of ground—pork tenderloin sandwiches, brick-oven pizzas, guacamole-bacon burgers, ale-battered fish 'n' chips, Kobe meatloaf, and New York–style cheesecake. If you're brave enough to try Wild Bill's hot wings—the hottest available—be sure to have one of Pinnacle's many craft beers or cocktails within easy reach. As guests make pilgrimages to Pinnacle, they rack up points on the restaurant's MVP frequent-diner card, with every dollar spent on food and drink getting them closer to free meals and a chance to learn the secret Pinnacle Sports Grill handshake.
A personal TV accents every booth at Cheerleaders Sports Bar & Grill, where chefs kick out hearty steaks, half-pound Angus beef burgers, and a slew of entrees to sports fans. Taps at the full bar work overtime filling glasses with 37 draft beers under the watchful headlights of a Shelby GT500E Mustang, inspiring cheers that rise and swell through the spacious dining room with every touchdown, home run, or umpire fight that's broadcast from 1 of 61 TVs. Classics include hand-breaded finger steaks, chicken caesar wraps, and irish nachos and wings; for dessert, the chefs craft caramel pecan turtle cheesecakes and deep-fried Snickers. The aromas of breakfast fill the family-friendly dining room on weekends from 7 a.m. until noon.
Center-cut pork loin drizzled with apricot-balsamic reduction. Pan-roasted halibut topped with sundried-tomato-basil butter. Dishes such as these reflect Muse Bistro and Wine Bar's simple, timeless formula of pairing perfectly cooked meats with inventive sauces. The chefs reinvent the menu every Tuesday to showcase whatever ingredients are in peak season so that diners can enjoy food at its freshest, before the produce inevitably gets a tattoo to stay with the times.

Featured on local Fox 12 News, Bounce offers physical activities for families with its bounce houses and obstacle courses. The anti-gravity facility encourages kids and parents to get active, eschewing video games, which render players stationary and more likely to become mothball carriers. Once inside the hyperactive interior, visitors can sample from a variety of springy stunts, including the Velcro wall, slide, and bounce castle. An adult bounce house and kiddie play area keep things organized, but all-out malarkey ensues when parents and kids duke it out with Sumo wrestling suits, cartoon-proportion boxing gloves, and American Gladiator–style jousting. A concessions stand with café seating offers snacks to replenish calories, and free WiFi is available to settle heated debates over the etymology of fracas.
With machines set up in rows to encourage competition, many ordinary gyms cater to men's bodies and psychology, right down to the urinals that were accidentally installed in the women's locker room. At Curves, you'll move around a circle of hydraulic resistance machines designed to work with women's bodies, promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. An experienced trainer is always nearby to help manage machine maneuvering and muscle making. Instead of fiddling with weight stacks and losing momentum, the hydraulic machines use each lady's body weight and unique fitness level to create resistance that matches her abilities, decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. Because traditional lift-and-lower motions can create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing a grapefruit without looking like you can.

Good point. This leads me to a thought...
A better scheme than rewriting N times with equally-dispersed random data
(1010, then 0101, then 0110, etc.) would be to overwrite with "junk" but
pattern-filled data (i.e., data representative of a text file, mp3 file,
etc.). Otherwise what you get is "snow" or "white noise" data evenly
written (many times) on top of real data. Think of it like picking a faint
TV picture out of a bad signal with lots of noise. Even though there is
lots of random data (the static or "snow") interfering with the image, the
human eye can still recognize the original picture. If you had 30 TV
signals piled on top of one another, it would be much harder to pick out any
individual signal.
So disk space where text files were stored could be written over many times
by a random text generator. Disk space where an mp3 file was stored could
be written over many times with mp3-like data. And disk space where
filenames were stored (e.g., My_Secrets.doc) would be written over many
times with filename-like data (Some_File.exe, Foo_Bar.xls, etc.). And of
course, the file locations would overlay each other enough to keep from
knowing which blocks were really in which files... This should effectively
prevent the original file name or contents from being distinguishable from
the contents of the 4th rewrite, 8th rewrite, or 27th rewrite.

Interesting tho. How would the recovering software know if the data you're
retrieving comes from the 30th re-write, or the 29th? You also have to
consider that the data you're trying to recover isn't the first data written
to the disk. So even if the atoms are not all aligned the right way, you
wouldn't know if that's because of the data from the 29th re-write, or the

Think atomically. There can be millions of atoms in a apace the size of a
pin tip. A write head need not turn every atom in a layer of magnetic
material one way or the other. It only needs to turn just enough 'clearly'
one way in order for the read head to pick it up again. If we talk about a
layer of magnetic material that is just .0001" thick we are still talking
about layers upon layers upon layers (need I go on....) of atomic material.
It can be done!

Personally, I think he is full of... hot air.
Bits are either "on" or "off", "1" or "0". If you change that pattern
(i.e. write over the same data area with a different sequence of bits), then
the previous state of that field would not be determinable. Granted, there
may be some residual magnetic field left on a particular area that is now
"0" that had been "1", but the converse would not be true. There would be
no residual field to read on an area that is now "1" that had been "0".
Sounds like sales fluff to me.
Anyway, that is my opinion, based on years of experience and a good
knowledge of physics.

Greetings Folks,
I had an interesting conversation today with someone from FAST (Federation
Against Software Theft) They pretend not to be a snitch wing of the BSA.
Anyway, to get to the point, the guy that came to see me said that their
forensics guys could read data off a hard drive that had been written over
up to thirty times. I find this very hard to believe and told him I thought
he was mistaken but the guy was adamant that it could be done. My question
is, does anyone have any views on this, or, can anyone point me to a source
of information where I can get the facts on exactly how much data can be
retrieved off a hard drive and under what conditions etc etc.

Latest Doodle In Progress - "Serenity Crew - Where Are You?"
There they are, pre-shading! Sadly as the Scooby gang only had two girls, I could only draw two of Serenity's female crew. I know, I know :(
ANYWAY! I'm going to do a little shading and turn the good ship Serenity into the Mystery Machine, because that's what I do!
This'll be a print and a tee, btw :)

A security guard who is suing Russell Brand says the actor was trying to escape paparazzi when R.B.'s Range Rover plowed into him.
Victor Sneed's lawyer, Bob Fink, tells TMZ, his client -- who works as a security guard at an L.A. medical center -- was doing his job in January when Russell came out of the facility ... to a gaggle of photogs.
Fink says Russell jumped in his Range Rover and tried to leave and in the process struck Sneed from the front. Russell stopped and asked a dazed Sneed if he was ok -- Fink says his client was too stunned to answer so Russell left.
Fink tells us ... Russell sent one of his people back to the scene and gave Sneed his personal info. Fink says Russell wanted to settle it without going to the insurance company but that didn't happen.
Now Fink says, his client is hobbling around with a knee brace and may need surgery. Fink says Sneed's back is also screwed up.
So far, the insurance company hasn't offered a settlement and that's why Sneed sued Brand.
11 months later and he just now might need surgery? sounds to me like he messed up his knee some other way and is looking for a convenient way to avoid paying his own medical bills...
Was Russell getting his Valtrex prescription renewed?
The Lawyer's name is Fink?? How appropriate!
the paps were chasing me", the new excuse for these jack asses.
This happened nearly a year ago? Why sue now?
It sounds like Russell tried to his best to make sure this guy was okay, but the guard got greedy.
as if we believe a lawyer called fink
R.B. is a loser, however they need to create some stiff laws and impose some hefty fines against the paps. I hate what they do and can't understand how they have the "right" to do it. But nothing will be done until people get dead from it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_PgNQY-SGk Mr. Brady.
Also with this coming election I care too much for the 23 million unemployed people and struggeling small to mid-size businesses in this country to want to vote for Obama again. All we will get is another 4 years of poor economic growth.
Stop being so partisan people!!!! You should care more about the country than your political party affiliation. It is so sad that some people put their party affiliation ahead of common sense.
This guy is such a T bag
Of COURSE he might need surgury. Of COURSE his back hurts. Greedy loser. This happened a while ago and now you need surgury and your back hurts.
I call bs. I might believe him if he had come forward a bit sooner.
It seemed Russell did everything correct in stopping, then having someone give the guy his personal information. It is odd that now this guy is coming forward to try and collect. If the insurance company thought it was a valid claim they would of paid him. But I feel the blame should be placed on the paps. How can someone expect to drive safely when there are people swarming the car trying to get a picture. It has always been dangerous and I am surprised no one has been killed yet. Some sort of law needs to be passed to stop over aggressive paps. Like when a person gets in a car they need to stay a safe distance away.
Another crook trying to get a freeride happens every day

PERU — Four years, four straight championships. But lest you think the feeling ever gets old, think again.
Damon Binkley notched a hat trick, and Argos' boys soccer team cruised to its fourth consecutive regional title with a 4-1 victory over upstart Eastern at the Peru Regional Saturday night.
"It doesn't get much better; you can't ask for much more," said Binkley, a starter with the team each of the past four regional championship seasons.
CULVER — Culver Academies earned dual second-place regional finishes behind Warsaw, and the Eagles earned semistate berths in both the boys and girls races at the Culver Academies Cross Country Regional Saturday. Plymouth's girls team advanced in the last spot out to next week's New Prairie race with a fifth-place finish at Saturday's meet.
The Eagles were led by Landrum Neer in 11th place, while Justin Matei finished 13th, Zach Dunlap was 16th, Alejandro Tumoine was 17th, and Shane Pursch finished 39th.
Sports Illustrated's Andy Staples explains why Florida State and Notre Dame both look like College Football Playoff contenders after the Seminoles' 31-27 win.
Those planning to be the only Elsa at the Halloween party might want to let that one go. It's likely she'll be the number one costume this year. Mashable asked the data miners at Google Trends to share what costumes people are searching the most, and unsurprisingly, Queen Elsa tops the list. She's joined by a few of her Frozen castmates, and a whole slew of familiar faces in the pop culture world. So, while that Guardian's of the Galaxy costume may seem like a really awesome idea, thousands of others are planning to wear the same thing.

Ender's Game is Beautiful, Beguiling and a Bit of a Headscratcher
- Friday, November 01, 2013
DVD Release Date: February 11, 2014
Theatrical Release Date: November 1, 2013
Rating: PG-13 (for some violence, sci-fi action and thematic material)
Genre: Science Fiction
Run Time: 114 min.
Director: Gavin Hood
Actors: Harrison Ford, Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin, Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis, Aramis Knight, Moises Arias, Suraj Partha, Jimmy Jax Pinchak
Long before Katniss Everdeen was introduced to the masses in Suzanne Collins' bestselling novel The Hunger Games, children were put in equally gut-wrenching life and death scenarios in Orson Scott Card's much-beloved Ender's Game, which released back when Wham! was popular in 1985.
Set in a dystopian world where big families are strongly discouraged (over-population is just one of many problems), Ender (Asa Butterfield, Hugo) is considered an "extra" because he's already got an older brother, Peter (television actor Jimmy Jax Pinchak) and sister, Valentine (Abigail Breslin, The Call). If being the unnecessary sibling wasn't already enough to give him a complex, Ender is scrawny, pale and a regular victim of bullying. Basically, he's living out every teenager's definition of hell.
In what's the perfect set-up for the inevitable David and Goliath-style battle, Ender is also incredibly smart, a quality that isn't going unnoticed. While he doesn't know it at the time, Ender's knack for solving problems, his underlying sense of compassion without compromise and mature coping mechanisms are considered assets by a prestigious group of military leaders. As these higher ups strategize how to best solve the war on alien terror (more on that in a minute), Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford, 42) and Major Gwen Anderson (Viola Davis, Prisoners) have pinpointed the world's smartest children as the best hope for mankind's continued survival.
Turns out, seventy years before, a good chunk of Planet Earth was annihilated by the Formics, an unsightly but cunning ant-like species. Fearing that another attack is imminent, preparations are now underway for ending the alien race for good. Of course, this is where those chosen children come in. Thanks to their moldable minds, quick reflexes and computer savvy, they'll be playing a key role in saving the world.
CrosswalkMovies: Ender's Game Video Movie Review from crosswalkmovies on GodTube.
As the titular character, Butterfield, who resembles a young Jonathan Rhys Meyers, is perfectly cast. Not only does he fit the profile of a reluctant hero perfectly, but Butterfield also lends a real emotional gravitas to the film's central debate on the ethical and political implications of war, not to mention the rather timely issue of bullying.

The "historic" midterm elections, as they are now being referenced, are over. For all the dentists in this country, they truly were historic. On November 2, a good friend of mine, Dr. Paul Gosar, was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Arizona. In previous articles I have mentioned Dr. Gosar, and the opportunity we had to elect an active practicing dentist to Congress. Paul will join Dr. Mike Simpson from Idaho as the only dentists serving in the Congress in Washington.
I can assure you Dr. Gosar will be a strong and solid supporter for all practicing dentists. A few short days ago he was getting up each day, going to the office, and experiencing all the frustrations caused by the action or the lack of action by the federal government. As a recent vice-chair of the ADA Council of Government Affairs and a long time member of the ADA House of Delegates, Paul is fully aware of the issues facing dentistry, and will hit the ground running. He may be a freshman, but we will hear his voice loudly and clearly on our behalf. This is Paul's first venture into elected public service, and I wish him well.
In a broader sense, what does this election mean for your practice and the dental profession, now that the Republicans control the House and the Democrats the Senate? Although the Democrats have the numbers in the Senate, 60 seats are necessary to dictate action, and that is not the case. The narrow majority will empower the dealmakers in the middle (moderate Democrats and Republicans), and hopefully they will be able to get things accomplished. Of great importance to dentistry is that the GOP-controlled House will have oversight jurisdiction. This means that House committees can call hearings and ask federal agencies to explain their actions on federal regulations or guidance (e.g., EPA regulations, health care reform regulations, and so on).
Broadly speaking, GOP control of the House will mean that the agenda, particularly the funding agenda, will be 180 degrees different from that of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner recently said that a GOP-controlled House will begin with a vote to repeal President Obama's health care reform law, and if that stalls, they will take it apart and vote to repeal it provision by provision. One of the first votes in the "repeal-by-provision" will be on the IRS 1099 issue (assuming the issue is not dispensed with in the post-election, or lame-duck, session later this year).
For now, the ADA Washington office is focused on the lame-duck session, and that agenda is difficult to forecast. The Washington office is implementing strategies to pass three bills of specific interest to the dental profession - all of which have passed the House and now require action in the Senate: HR 4626, the McCarran-Ferguson legislation; HR 2345, the Red Flags bill; and HR 903, our Dental Emergency Responder proposal. With any luck, the Congress will be in session long enough to allow us to pass our three bills.
Annual Session 2010
The 151st Annual Session was again a success and provided a vast array of continuing education, exhibits, and social events. Issues such as budget, licensure, financial Affairs, and workforce issues were of most importance, with workforce occupying a majority of our time. Below I have highlighted some of the major points.
Dr. Ray Gist is our new ADA president, Dr. Bill Calnon is president-elect, and Dr. Patricia Blanton second vice-president.
Budget and Dues
The House of Delegates approved the budget, which will require a seven dollar dues increase and a 23 dollar one-time assessment. The past several years we have had no increase and have been taking operating money from reserves. In my mind, that is not a good practice. We made many difficult cuts, but the increase was necessary to continue the valuable programming and services the ADA provides for members. The assessment will bring our information technology infrastructure up to date with focus on member communications, financing, and budgeting.
ADA policy on Diagnosis or Performance of Irreversible Procedures by Non-dentists:
The ADA, by all appropriate means, will strive to maintain the highest quality of oral health care by maintaining that the dentist be the health care provider who performs examination/evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment planning. The dentist shall be the health care provider who performs surgical/irreversible procedures; with surgical procedures being defined as the cutting or removal of hard or soft tissue.
ADA Opposition to Pilot Program which allow Nondentists to Diagnose or Perform Irreversible Procedures:
The ADA is opposed to non-dentists or non-licensed dentists (except dentists who are faculty members) making diagnoses, developing treatment plans, or performing surgical/irreversible procedures. The ADA may support pilot programs that
• do not jeopardize the patient's oral health,
• are based on a valid assessment demonstrating that the program is necessary to fulfill an unmet need, and
• the program does not allow non-dentists to diagnose, treatment plan, or perform irreversible procedures.
The ADA critically reviews and seeks opportunities for input into any pilot program or study that has potential for significant impact on the dental profession.
The policy of the ADA shall be to actively participate in discussions/dialogue with government, oral health care organizations, or other agencies involved in dental workforce issues or oral health care issues.
The policy of the ADA shall be to seek funding for Association studies on dental workforce models or oral health care delivery issues or their evaluation.
If a pilot program involves a new member of the dental team, the new team member must be supervised by a dentist.
The development of any new member of the dental team shall be based upon determination of need, a CODA accredited dental school or advanced dental education program, and a scope of practice that ensures the protection of the public's oral health.
Comprehensive Policy Statement on Allied Dental Personnel:
This is a very thorough and complete statement that is too lengthy for this article. I strongly encourage going to ada.org and reading this statement. It was House Resolution 132.
Non-Covered Services
Maximum Fees for Non-covered services:
The ADA continues to oppose any third-party contract provisions that establish fee limits for non-covered services. A "covered service" is defined as any service for which reimbursement is actually provided on a given claim. A "non-covered service" is any service for which the third party provides no reimbursement.
The ADA will pursue passage of federal legislation to prohibit federally regulated plans from applying fee limits for non-covered services. The ADA encourages constituent dental societies to work for passage of state legislation to prohibit plans from applying such provisions as well.
Definitions of Importance:
Definitions of Primary Dental Care Provider and Dental Home:
Primary Dental Care Provider: A licensed dentist who accepts the professional responsibility for delivering primary dental care.
Dental Home: The ongoing relationship between the dentist who is the Primary Dental Care Provider and the patient, which includes comprehensive oral health care, beginning no later than age one and continuing throughout the patient's lifetime.
With Thanks
As the holiday season approaches, I wish everyone all the joys of this time of year. As we give thanks for all of our many blessings, I want to thank all of you for your service to and participation in the ADA. I wish you joy as we approach another new year!

Was running though Kevin Acee's mailbag and ran into this little nugget about starting LB Stephen Cooper:
Coop did a great job in the middle of the defense making the play calls. He is gritty and finds ways to get the job done, but it looks like his days as a San Diego Charger are winding down. Former Charger defensive coordinator, Ron Rivera, probably has a lot of interest in bringing Cooper over to Carolina to run the defense.
The Chargers drafted Donald Butler last year in the 3rd round and the team is really high on his potential. Butler missed all of last season with an achilles injury and will get a good opportunity to play next season.
It would be nice to see the Chargers go after one of the free agents that have some connections with San Diego. Takeo Spikes is a free agent and played under Chargers defensive coordinator, Greg Manusky, in San Francisco. Spikes is a tackling machine and he will be very familiar with the defensive scheme that Manusky will run. Former SDSU Aztec, Kirk Morrison, is another solid option. Morrison will be looking for a team that can get him into the playoffs. Morrison has never made it into the playoffs in his 7 seasons.

How to send .Mac mail when SMTP is blocked
That's exactly right. Our company blocks port 25, as do many providers, because that is the most common port used by spammers that take over a system to send mass emails out. Use port 587 and it should allow it to go through. Much easier than savings emails as drafts, etc.

Beyoncé: Life Is But A Dream - directed by Beyoncé Knowles, Ed Burke and Ilan Y. Ben
I was blown away by the realness of this movie. Yes, I know that it's a documentary, and I knew it would be a hit from the beginning because 1). it's Queen B, 2). It's her talking when we all know how hidden her personal life is, and 3). Oprah raved about it. But Beyonce was just so honest about everything. She never went off about how unfair her life was because she was in the public eye, but she did talk about how hard it was especially when personal space is needed. She addressed rumors, but I don't remember her ever going off about them in the public. She documented everything for herself, which is really brave.
My favorite part about this wasn't even the performances. I thought in the beginning that it would be, seeing quality HD performances instead of youtube clips was a winner in my book, but I thoroughly enjoyed that Beyonce has been documenting her life for years. Seeing her walk into an elevator with a macbook in her arms was a breathe of fresh air. She is nowhere near dive status unless she's on stage working it for her fans, "giving everything she has" as she says at the end of the film. Or when she went out on the balcony and recorded her fans with an old film camera looking incredibly bad-ass, not to mention, while doing it. It made her that much more inspiring. She not only enjoys being an artist and the perks that come with it, but she enjoys the life that's been given to her. Appreciates the people who have further advanced her career, and her artistic expression. Am I getting too philosophical? Okay, I'll stop. She's just too amazing.
I think I fell in love with her in this film. She is an independent woman in any measure of either of those words. I found myself trying to step into her shoes in certain situations, and hell no, as much as I would love to, it would be one incredibly difficult. Not only is she strong, but she's undeniably talented, business-savy, smart and kind. I found it amazing that she fired her father to become her own manager. Imagine those holidays? "Beyonce, how's the tour going? You've been doing so amazing lately!" *Beyonce looks over to her dad* "Yeah.. yeah, it's been going great, thanks y'all." I don't even know what I'm writing about anymore. And yes, I used y'all because that's what it sounded like she would say to me, with a huge smile on her face.
I'm not measuring my review based off of the same things I would for a film because it's a documentary about an incredibly famous celebrity. However, she brought art into an already very artistic film. Her scenes were legitimate and raw, and a lot of the huge scenes that made the film what it was were filmed by her; alone in her bedroom, on a rooftop, in the studio, on vacation with the love of her life.
Everything about this film just makes you feel that much better about how things will work out in the end, regardless of how hard life hits you down. And most importantly, how proud every lady should be to be a woman.
Just watch it, regardless if you are a fan or not. You'll get something out of it; some great performances, a look into her world, and insight on a strong woman in touch with her family and career. You'll become a fan of the woman, and if not than you don't deserve no independent woman.

Like Crazy - directed by Drake Doremus, starring Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones, and Jennifer Lawrence
One can definitely be stereotypical when it comes to me and romantic movies. I browse the Netflix category often looking for new films to appear. I've wanted to watch Like Crazy for a while now, but I just hadn't gotten around to watching such a serious movie.
The acting in this movie is great. Some of the scenes with them holding each other just felt so real to me, and of course Jennifer Lawrence was amazing. She made the movie so much happier for me. Anton Yelchin is just so awkward to me. I can't describe it, it's not to say he's not a great actor. I just felt uncomfortable with him for most of the movie. He kind of gave me an I-don't-even-like-the-main-love-story-line-why-am-I-even-watching-this vibe. I have never seen Felicity Jones in anything else but I just connected with her. The scenes where she is just emotionless and lost in her own head just felt SO right. So spot on for me.
I will say it now, I didn't like this movie. It's not because the writing wasn't good enough or any other part of the film (scratch that, the music sucked). I had subtitles on while watching this because I admit, I was eating Cape Cod potato chips and couldn't hear anything over my insane chip frenzy. But I constantly saw "slow piano" or something like that on the screen (I could be making that up because I don't want to go through Netflix and try to find a sad scene to prove my point). I think the film couldn't been that much more powerful if the music was better. I know it's a serious, indie film and when music gets too heavy it ruins it sometimes, but I don't know, it just- it sucked.
However, I can say that this film was VERY powerful. I literally had heartburn by the end of it. I had sat up in my bed to pay closer attention to some of the scenes, even cried a couple of times. I had a stomach ache from the beginning to the end. THAT is the main reason I didn't like it, because I'm a sap, and I relate any love story to my own love life and it all gets jumbled in my head the possibilities that could rise. So if you do the same, don't worry, you're not alone. I'm crazy too.
I'd recommend this movie, definitely not after having eaten something acidic. Grab a pint of your favorite ice cream, and your boyfriend or girlfriend if there is one (you'll probably feel the urge to want to kiss them during some scenes) and just cry. It's a good cry movie, so let it out. And then never watch it again because oh my god my heart hurts.

CONAN O'BRIEN CAN'T STOP (* only in selective theatres *)
(Review by Kristen)
Conan O'Brien has been one of my favorite comedians since I maneuvered my way into my tiny living room when I was about six. My two brother's were watching 'Late Night with Conan O'Brien', while I was supposed to be in my bedroom, sleeping or just out of their site, either way worked for them. Though, I loved the show, even if I didn't understand a lot of his jokes because I was so young, I loved the energy, I loved the connection he had with the audience, how he looked like there was nothing better in life than to be on in front of that crowd, making those people's nights. That's exactly how I felt when I watched this documentary centered around the "Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour'. I just wanted to tell everyone how much more I loved Conan than them. (Also, fun fact: my brother's and I named a cat of ours', Conan.)
It was heart-warming. He was so honest about how he felt about his previous, unfortunately short-lived experience as NBC's host of 'The Tonight Show'. It was refreshing to see how he could still be so angry, and still manage to make us laugh. It's as if he can't help it, which makes me love him even more. His stage presence is amazing. He literally loves the stage, he loves the audience, and he loves every night of it. His improv was on point, and I loved his ideas for each show. When he went crazy dancing, I literally could not even laugh I was laughing so hard (think of a Conan belly laugh). He said in the film something along the lines of, "I never want it to stop, but I know that at some point it has to." Obviously because he has a wife and two kids waiting for him in Los Angeles. However, his iChat and few scenes with his kids are definitely scene stealers. He may constantly joke about his lack-offs, but he looks like a kind, caring father.
There's honestly nothing I didn't like about this documentary. Actually, there is… I wish it was longer. The film's run-time is a short 1 hour and 29 minutes. Not enough time for a fan to fully enjoy the awesome that is Conan O'Brien. Especially if you wanted to go to one of the tour dates badly. I wanted to go so bad when he came to Boston. However, we saw behind the stages of performances across the United States, to Bonnaroo, to angry rants sidelined with sarcastic remarks. Everything was entertaining. Everyone in that theatre was laughing and having a good time. It felt so chill, and nonchalant, as if each person was sitting in front of their TV sets at home, bursting out in laughter, without a care in the world what anyone else thought. Just imagine how many people feel that way sitting in front of their own TV Monday through Thursday tuned into his new show on TBS, 'Conan'. At the end of the documentary, when they talk briefly about his new show, as he walks out, it gives you chills. It's as if everything the Conan and his fans wanted had come true, and this time everyone was on his side.
I don't care if that's extreme. If you love Conan, shit even if you don't… Go see this movie, go see a man who absolutely loves the work that he does, and just wants to be even a little respected for his loyalty to the industry.
P.S. Definitely a DVD worthy choice, so inspirational!
P.P.S. Can I have Sona's job?
(Review by Kristen)
When I first heard about this movie, the first thing that came to my mind was… they're making a facebook movie? I honestly didn't know where they were going to go with it, but somehow they made a masterpiece. Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) is a student at Harvard University, he's an asshole who one-up's everyone and looses his girlfriend, Erica (Rooney Mara), within the first 10 mins of the movie. Time goes on, he comes across the idea for a social networking site, and he adds to it. Although, thankfully, the movie isn't just about creating and coding the website. It focuses on present and past situations and shows how they affected each other. Aaron Sorkin wrote an amazing film, focusing on the uprising of a billion dollar company which we all use, and when I say we all, we ALL. He gracefully moved the story along without it becoming boring, too fast or too slow. Both Fincher and Sorkin made this film by far succeed through it's wit and dark comedy.
This was definitely a Jesse Eisenberg role, the awkward introvert. By playing Zuckerberg, he's not only too smart to talk to anyone other than sarcastically, but the ambitious asshole with his "hoodie and fuck you flip-flips". He's complex and following that thought process and excessively fast comebacks are incredibly enjoyable. Next, Andrew Garfield. He was amazing in this movie. He's been screwed by his best friend for some asshole who looks like he should be in a boy band. Oh wait! By far my favorite scene of the movie was at Facebook Headquarters. The moments are crisp, explosive almost indecisive and you can feel the frustration boiling within the character. It was the moment I felt the most compelled by anyone's acting in this movie. I think his flip out in the office is my favorite art of the movie. He was charming and loveable throughout the whole movie, even when he was sitting across the table suing Zuckerberg's ass. The two of them, Zuckerberg (Eisenberg) and Saverin (Garfield) had excellent chemistry. it felt like two friends you would know. They complimented each other, one cold and distant who throws out there that he's smarter than you and one charming and incredibly intellegent, but likeable… the glue to the social world. Basically, Zuckerberg's only real friend. As for Timberlake.. he was alright. Better than I thought he would be, he held his own throughout a fierce acting cast, but he didn't stick out to me at all. He honestly annoyed me a little.
Cinematography and directing were incredible. Cambridge, MA was highlighted and shown beautifully. The rowing scene in was jaw-dropping. It was colorful and bright. You could feel the adrenaline of the race, and the water that slowly jumped, I loved. There were so many moments where I was said.. I love that they put the camera there, it's perfect. He captured the character's thoughts and reactions frame by frame and carried us through the film effortlessly. Good looks, Fincher.
The music by Trent Reznore and Atticus Ross could have made or broke the movie, and thank god this music was good, better than good. I was dancing in my seat when the club scene came on. Every song made you feel the way you were suppose to feel. It was serious, dark, and sometimes even depressing, but made so much sense. Defintely download the soundtrack, ASAP. http://www.mediafire.com/?lmwb2c8bhhkbug9 (PW: unpaused.livejournal.com)
4.5/5 for sure. I'm going to buy this on amazon right now, bye.

Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader
(Review by Shirley)
Ok, first of all, I'm a huge Chronicles of Narnia fan so excuse me if I constantly state how awesome I thought this movie was. I know, I know, as a critic, I shouldn't be biased, so I'll write about what I didn't find so interesting as well… but let's start with the good, shall we?
I absolutely loved this movie! I read the Chronicles of Narnia series so long ago that I don't quite remember if this movie matched the book, but it's a film, so don't you think it's ok if the storyline was changed a bit?
Here's a quick summary of the movie before I go any further…
Edmund and Lucy return to Narnia with their annoying pest of a cousin, Eustace, through a painting. They end up on Prince Caspian's ship, the Dawn Treader and are greeted like royalty because well… they're… king and queen. Caspian was on his own voyage trying to find 7 men, but of course they encounter some bad mist thing (I forget) and of course it is up to Caspian, his crew and the Pevensie siblings to save Narnia. The ending wasn't to die for, but I did shed a few tears… (don't judge me, like I said, I'm a huge fan of the series and if you saw the ending of this movie… and the others, you'd understand why I cried).
Unlike in the previous two films, two of the Pevensie siblings are not exactly featured in this movie and though I first found that to be upsetting, I was really excited to see how Georgie Henley (Lucy) and Skandar Keynes (Edmund) were going to portray their roles and their storylines now that they're characters have matured. Now, do you remember how tiny little Lucy and Edmund (Georgie Henley) were in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe? Well, they've grown up… like A LOT since then. I think they've grown to be incredibly beautiful and handsome. I didn't think they're acting improved a lot though, but I never thought that they were bad actors to start with. The performances of the rest of the cast weren't bad either, but this movie wasn't like every "action/adventure" movie I've fell in love with. Maybe I should have watched in 3D, but I didn't feel like I was on the voyage with the Dawn Treader crew.
With adventure films, I believe feeling like you're a part of the journey is important and I didn't quite feel that throughout the whole entire movie, but I still loved it because it was an overall, fun film. You'd probably have to see the other two Chronicles of Narnia films to enjoy it to the extent I did. Not that the movie is confusing or anything, it might just be a bit difficult to understand the chemistry between each character, but that's basically it.
Great performances, good looking actors (Ben Barnes and Mr. Keynes), and awesome special effects.
I was only just going to give this movie a 3.5 rating, but I forgot about the music. Though I didn't feel like I was a part of the voyage throughout most of the movie, the times I did feel like was, I'm glad to say the music contributed to this feeling (…and to me crying during the last scene).
(Review by Kristen)
First review, hope you don't stop reading as of now. And no, I don't indent these paragraphs because I don't have to. So, as a hardcore fangirl, I knew the movie was being made before a lot of people and I don't mean anyone on tumblr or the internet because that would be a crazy accusation. I knew mostly because Angelina Jolie is one of my favorite actresses, if not my favorite, but also the rest of the cast and the location. About 2 years ago I visited Venice, alongside my co-critic on the blog (Shirley) and it's a memory I we'll will never. Anyways, so I saw the trailer and it looked like another interesting C.I.A, government drama, which it basically was. Now, that's not always a bad thing, to expect and receive. The film was dramatic, it had a few good laughs and a it was mostly a love story. I liked that there was this powerful love story, but an action flick at the same time. A little bit of everything, but not too much of everything.
I felt The Tourist was a very predictable movie. Woman/Man fall for each other and do everything they can to be together. The acting of both Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp were on point. Depp was a shy, awkward character. It was nice to see a change of pace from his other eccentric characters, this character seemed to be closer to his own personality. He was funny and admirable, probably the best part of the movie. Jolie was elegant - a stereotypically classical woman. So much different from her badass self. It was weird, actually. A scene in the movie where she has to fight, her character basically doesn't know how and ends up throwing something awkwardly. All I could think was, "Wow, that must have been weird for her to do that considering she could have probably kicked that guy's ass?!" Also, why did they dress Angie the way they did.. It was horrible. The hair was eh, the make-up was overdone, most of the clothes were ugly (she's Angelina Jolie, they should have used that to their advantage… I mean come on!), and that chocker (here too) just looked was too loose on her.
Although the acting was great individually, the film lacked the chemistry I wanted to see. One kiss out of the whole movie, and it's in the trailer! Really? The characters never connected, I thought they may as the movie went on, but nope. They looked uncomfortable around each other. To be perfectly honest though, I don't think they deserved Golden Globe nominations especially Jolie for COMEDY, I guess I could see drama, but wtf.. comedy? There was nothing that stuck out, nothing that was particularly stunning to me.
Cinematography = amazeballs. Of course, the backdrop was Venice, Italy, so I mean it couldn't have been to hard to capture it beautifully, but Von Donnersmarck did an excellent job. There was a scene very close to the water at one point, and the light shown on the water and the background was a perfect color and everything was just gorgeous. That's when I said to myself, "Holy shit, this movie is beautiful."
Music was not suitable. It was like a Disney movie, as Shirley said as my piece-of-junk car slowly heated up in the parking lot of the theatre. I swear, everytime Jolie was in frame there was non-lyrical music and slow motion, it got to be old. It never fit either. I had my wtf-face on a lot, let me tell ya. I thought they were trying to hard to either turn this into a less-serious movie (along with the 3 comedic lines), or fit into an audience that they shouldn't have.
I loved the ending, that was the best part of the movie. I'm not saying that because I didn't like the movie either, I just would have never expected that to be the ending. It was a good movie overall, enjoyable what a movie should be. It wasn't Oscar worthy. The best the movie could get would be an award for cinematography or directing.
Overall, I enjoyed the movie. My critic may not say so, but it was a good movie, I'd definitely watch it again.
P.S. .gifs are not mine, pretty sure they're made by 3lzyx.. name droppin' right now. If not, please tell me, not about stealing .gifs or taking credit.
P.P.S. More reviews coming soon!
