NEW YORK — Stocks sagged Tuesday, as a disappointing sales forecast from Advanced Micro Devices Inc. sparked pessimism about semiconductor issues, putting buyers on the run.
The prospect of flagging revenues and profits in the chip sector did little to cheer investors following a weak start to the fourth-quarter earnings season. Less-than-stellar results from Alcoa Inc. and Genentech Inc. — the first two major companies to report — inspired little conviction.
"There's a sense that nobody wants to buy right now. It's earnings week, the numbers have been choppy at best ... I think people are just waiting to see how things shape up," said Michael Murphy, head trader at Wachovia Securities in Baltimore. "I'm not seeing a lot of selling, it's more a case where people have their wallets on their hip. There's no urgency."
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 64.81 points, or 0.6 percent, at the close of trading, while the broader Standard & Poor's 500-stock index was down 7.26 points, or 0.6 percent. The Nasdaq composite index dropped 17.42 points, or 0.8 percent.
Despite the losses, analysts weren't overly alarmed by the day's trading, or the fact that the major indexes are all down for the year — traditionally a negative indicator for Wall Street. Market fundamentals remain strong, and there have been enough exceptions to January's so-called "early warning" system that it's reasonable to question its accuracy, said Richard A. Dickson, senior market strategist at Lowry's Research Reports in Palm Beach, Fla.
"I think the jury is still out as far as which way this thing is going to go. We think the correction has further to run, how far I have no idea," Dickson said. "But once this correction runs its course, we think then the market runs higher again. We're positive for the market on the year."
The fact that investors apparently have factored so much bad news into stocks so early in the earnings season may work in the market's favor, Dickson added. "There seems to me to be mostly room for surprise to the upside," he said.
That didn't seem to be the case Tuesday, as Advanced Micro Devices sank 26 percent, or $5.27, to $14.86, following the chip maker's warning that its fourth-quarter operating income would be "down significantly" from the third quarter. Several investment firms, including Lehman Brothers and Piper Jaffray, cut their ratings after the company issued its forecast late Monday.
The news weighed on other stocks, with AMD rival and Dow component Intel Corp. shedding 34 cents to $22.54. Intel was to report earnings after the close of Tuesday's session.
Also on the Dow, leading aluminum producer Alcoa declined 82 cents to $29.65 after missing Wall Street profit forecasts by 2 cents per share. The company blamed higher commodity prices and the weak dollar for an 8 percent drop in net income.
Genentech slumped 6.8 percent, or $3.73, to $50.70, after reporting profits that missed analysts' estimates by a penny per share. Investors were disappointed with sales of the company's cancer drug Avastin, which fell short of forecasts.
Technology consulting firm Unisys Corp. tumbled 56 cents to $8.75 after slashing its profit forecast for the fourth quarter. The company now expects a loss of 7 to 10 cents per share, compared with earlier forecasts for profits of 27 cents to 31 cents per share. Management blamed one-time charges related to an outsourcing operation.
Dow component Hewlett Packard Co. fell 76 cents to $20.05 after Morgan Stanley downgraded it to "underweight" from "equal weight," citing supply chain problems and stiff competition from Dell Inc. Dell was up 11 cents at $41.08.
Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average rose 0.93 percent. In Europe, Britain's FTSE 100 closed down 0.45 percent, France's CAC-40 lost 0.74 percent and Germany's DAX index declined 1.15 percent.

text: The caving project at Silver Mines Recreational Area was the best and most rewarding project I have been on thus far with ERT. I had the unique opportunity to assist in rigging a high line across a river, cutting steel using an oxyacetylene torch, and putting together a steel gate expertly designed for bats. Additionally, I learned a great deal about bat species in Missouri from our very knowledgeable and enthusiastic contacts. We worked long days in some extremely wet working conditions, but seeing the four completed gates at the end of the ten day was well worth the adversity my team and I faced.

The ABCs of Traditional Latin Dance
With the growing trend of dance based workout programs in NYC, including the phenomenon of Zumba, it is impossible to ignore the impact of traditional Latin dance in our current culture.
Many are familiar with terms such as:
Cha - Cha - Cha
and the not-so-traditional
Below are a few lesser known dances that any traditional Latin dance enthusiast should know.
Aragonaise which literally means a person or thing from the Spanish region, Aragon, is a "dance of Aragon". Traditionally the musical accompaniment includes guitars, castanets, and hand clapping. The two most famous compositions bearing the name are found in the operas Le Cid and Carmen by Jules Massenet and Georges Bizet respectively.
Bolero takes a slower tempo than the Aragonaise with roots stemming both from Spain and Cuba and spreading eventually throughout Latin America all the way to Vietnam.
The original Spanish Bolero is danced in a 3/4 time. (1-2-3 / 1-2-3) that was created in Spain in the late 18th century. Elements of both contradanza and sevillana were borrowed in it's creation before it's swift export to Cuba. In the Cuban iteration, the time signature was changed to 2/4 (think Mirliton) and became "the most popular lyric tradition in Latin America."
Corrido finds it's roots in the music of Spain, and became immensely popular in Castilla and León in 19th and early 20th century.
This form has an irregular rhythm and consists of two parts, the first being of oscillatory and lateral movement in fast pace, and the second is similar to the jota (which time wise is very similar to Aragonaise). Below is a short tutorial outlining the steps involved.
We hope you enjoyed learning about the ever evolving, yet timelessly classic, ABCs of Traditional Latin Dance.

Halfway though the title essay of A Lover's Quarrel, his collection of reviews and essays on Canadian poetry, Carmine Starnino writes, "If Joseph Brodsky can declare poetry to be humanity's anthropological destiny, then Canadian poetry is possibly its evolutionary dead-end."

When is Crossrail going to open? Building reveals what we know about the rail project's delay
With the original opening date of Crossrail come and gone and the project now not guaranteed to open until March 2021 there are still plenty of questions around how the scheme fell so far behind.
As Transport for London (TfL), the Department for Transport (DfT) and Crossrail Ltd race to complete the project, there are plenty of questions around how much it is all going to cost and why the line is not finished yet.
Take a look at what we know so far.
When was the line due to open?
Last year an update by Westminster council let slip online that the central section of Crossrail was scheduled to open on 9 December as part of its follow-up to the decision to reject the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street.
ANALYSIS: Crossrail delay: what's gone wrong – and why
ANALYSIS: Crossrail – still waiting on the platform
What is to blame for the delay?
When announcing the delay Crossrail Ltd said the schedule has been revised "to complete the final infrastructure and extensive testing required".
Subsequently, the first chief executive of Crossrail Rob Holden blamed a decision to delay procurement of rolling stock for the scheme's failure to hit its December 2018 opening date. A TfL spokesperson denied this saying: "The procurement of the trains has had no impact on the delayed opening of the central section."
Were there warning signs?
Nearly two months before the delay to Crossrail was confirmed, the Infrastructure Projects Authority flagged potential issues with the scheme.
In its 2018 Annual Report, the Infrastructure Projects Authority gave Crossrail an amber delivery confidence assessment meaning it was looking at a cost or schedule overrun if "significant issues" were not addressed. It was the first time the project has received a rating below a green category in the six years the report has been produced.
A timeline of Crossrail's delay
20 June 2019: The boss of Crossrail says detailed plans for the kind of upgrades due to be carried out at six overground stations set to be served by the line will be unveiled next month
13 June 2019: Crossrail chief executive Mark Wild brings in fresh faces to get several problem sites
8 June 2019: New chair Tony Meggs is named on the Queen's Birthday Honours list
6 June 2019: Its revealed senior staff who left Crossrail in the last financial year picked up more than £1m in compensation with nearly half of this figure paid to its former talent and resources director
31 May 2019: Former Crossrail boss Andrew Wolstenholme quits BAE Systems after just 12 months at the defence giant.
22 May 2019: Speaking at a Transport for London board meeting, Crossrail chief executive Mark Wild reveals there is 250,000 items on the Crossrail to-do list. He also says systems integration work at the stations will drag on until mid-2020.
21 May 2019: TfL board documents reveal the fit-out and installation at Crossrail's central London stations and tunnels is set to be finished by the end of 2019 – a year after the line was due to open.
20 May 2019: Canary Wharf Group accuses Crossrail of trying to shift the blame for the scheme's delays following claims made by the railway's chief executive to MPs last week that it was having to spend £80m to make its station at Canary Wharf safe while questioning the quality of work carried out there.
15 May 2019: Andrew Wolstenholme tells the Public Accounts Committee that when he left last March the scheme was on track to open on time – and didn't because contractors were giving project bosses wrong information about when they would complete their work. At the same inquiry Mark Wild reveals the extent of delays at Tottenham Court Road, Canary Wharf and Bond Street and that he was "surprised by the lack of completion" at the stations when he took the top job.
13 May 2019: In his first update to the newly appointed chair of the London Assembly's transport committee Florence Eshalomi Crossrail chief executive Mark Wild says close-headway testing – which tests running trains close together – had been due to start in March but has still not got begun two months later.
8 May 2019: Network Rail appoints Graham to a £47m contract to carry out work at three overground stations due to be served by Crossrail in west London.
3 May 2019: A National Audit Office report reveals that the expected cost of finishing seven Crossrail stations has increased by more than £2bn. It also says Crossrail needs to motivate contractors with financial bonuses in order to get the £17.6bn job done in a "timely and efficient manner".
2 May 2019: Mark Wild tells the London Assembly that a year-long delay to tunnelling is to blame for the issues that have hit the Bond Street station scheme.
29 April 2019: Workers in City office buildings reveal they are feeling the effects of work being carried out by Laing O'Rourke to wrap up construction at its Liverpool Street Crossrail site. The contractor says nearby businesses were given warning about the work.
25 April 2019: Chief executive Mark Wild says the company had earmarked a six month delivery window for the £17.8bn scheme "with a midpoint at the end of 2020" meaning Crossrail will open some time between October that year and March 2021. Bond Street station will not open in that window.
25 April 2019: TfL commissioner Mike Brown faces the London Assembly transport committee. It is revealed that Crossrail bosses are expected to be grilled on the details of the new plan to get the line open next Thursday. Meanwhile, Caroline Pidgeon says Sir Terry Morgan, who stepped down as Crossrail's chairman last December, has been made the "fall guy" for the issues which have engulfed the scheme.
23 April 2019: The London Assembly's transport committee publishes a report on what has gone wrong at Crossrail. The report reveals former chief executive Andrew Wolstenholme queried why part of his bonus was not paid just months before it was announced the scheme would bust its opening deadline.

3 April 2019: In a report the Public Accounts Committee says it is "unconvinced" Crossrail's £2.8bn bailout will be enough, and slams executives for their "unacceptable" inability to explain the delays.
1 April 2019: Tory peer Baroness Sugg reveals that the government is still not sure whether the additional £2.8bn poured into Crossrail last December will be enough to get the project across the line.
29 March 2019: Mark Wild admits there is a "fundamental issue" with productivity on the project.
21 March 2019: TFL documents reveal the indefinite delay to Crossrail's opening is set to cost it around £600m in revenue, while Crossrail chief executive Mark Wild reveals the extent of tech work required to make the stations operational.
14 March 2019: The deputy mayor of London accuses ex-Crossrail chief executive Andrew Wolstenholme of misleading London Assembly members at a meeting just before he left in March 2018, while TfL was once again accused of changing Crossrail Ltd's progress updates before passing them onto to Sadiq Khan.
13 March 2019: The Chinese nuclear giant behind Hinkley Point C has appoints ousted Crossrail chair Sir Terry Morgan to lead its newly created advisory board for its UK business.
8 March 2019: It emerges that Crossrail's previous two chief executives Andrew Wolstenholme and Simon Wright are set to face questions from the London Assembly about what has gone wrong on the £17.6bn project.
7 March 2019: Mark Wild tells the Public Accounts Committee, the government's spending watchdog, that the writing was on the wall as early as 2016 that the station projects, which should have been completed before the signalling, were falling behind. Meanwhile, outgoing Costain boss Andrew Wyllie said its scheme to build a new Crossrail station at Bond Street has not finished because of changes made to the scope of the work.
6 March 2019: Crossrail boss Mark Wild confirms the central section of Crossrail will not open in 2019 and that he "very much hopes" it will open in 2020. Meanwhile, the scale of work still to be carried out at Crossrail's Bond Street station is laid bare, with Transport for London documents revealing the £200m scheme may not even be finished by the end of the year.

7 February 2019: London mayor Sadiq Khan continues his row with ousted Crossrail chair Sir Terry Morgan, saying he is much more confident in the project's new management team.
31 January 2019: Crossrail boss Mark Wild reveals that there is no chance of Crossrail being completely finished by the end of this year - admitting he still did not know when the £17.6bn job will be done. Wild also told TfL's board morale at the organisation had gone "off the cliff".
25 January 2019: KPMG's review of Crossrail's financial arrangements and governance is published. It reveals that there is only an 80% chance that Crossrail will be built within its newly approved budget and that the scheme is costing £30m a week. The reports also say damns the running of Crossrail and says its board lacks the skills to complete the railway.

9 January 2019: Morgan accuses TfL of altering progress reports he prepared for London mayor Sadiq Khan, saying they removed references to time pressures. At the same London Assembly inquiry, Wild said there was "thousands of hours" of construction work left to do and that Crossrail's leadership had not had a "a clear understanding of the work still to do" in the weeks leading up to the delay announcement.
8 January 2019: TfL finance boss Simon Kilonback reveals "significant parts" of Crossrail remain unbuilt and that the transport body's business plan had factored in delays of up to 18 months.
21 December 2018: Khan accuses Morgan of "misremembering" the truth about when he informed the London mayor of significant delays to the scheme.
10 December 2018: It was revealed that Crossrail would cost up to another £2bn to finish as the railway's new chief executive Mark Wild said he had no idea when the scheme would be finished because there is so much work left to complete. It was also announced that Infrastructure and Projects Authority boss Tony Meggs was set to take up the vacated chair position at Crossrail supported by former Labour MP Nick Raynsford who took up the vice chair role.
5 December 2018: Sir Terry Morgan officially ousted from his roles at both Crossrail and HS2 days after reports leaked to the media revealed transport secretary Chris Grayling and chancellor Philip Hammond had been lobbying for his removal.
23 November 2018: National Audit Office confirms it will launch a probe into Crossrail's delay
22 November 2018: Suggestions that Khan Crossrail executives either misled him or failed to anticipate delays and further cost overruns are made public. In a letter to the National Audit Office Khan said he and DfT had received repeated assurances from Crossrail before the delay that additional funding would ensure the opening of the railway on time.
19 November 2018: A report from the London Assembly's budget and performance committee said that if TfL, which is helping fund the scheme and will be responsible for running the line, "wants to co-ordinate with the National Rail timetable, it is likely that this means December 2019" will be Crossrail's opening date.
12 November 2018: London Assembly members say London mayor Sadiq Khan showed "incompetence, or at the very least, disinterest" in his handling of Crossrail, with the transport committee saying they had been left "wanting" by his explanation into the timing of the Crossrail delay announcement.
2 November 2018: TfL and Crossrail announce that Mark Wild will join Crossrail as chief executive on loan from London Underground, with the company's current boss Simon Wright stepping down. TfL said Wright's departure was "as planned". He was in the job for eight months.

4 October 2018: Members of the London Assembly's transport committee accuse London mayor Sadiq Khan of misleading them about Crossrail's delay. Caroline Pidgeon, the committee's chair, said the evidence showed it was likely Khan was informed on or soon after 19 July that there was very likely to be a delay.
13 September 2018: The first chief executive of Crossrail, Rob Holden, blamed a decision to delay procurement of rolling stock for the scheme's failure to hit its December 2018 opening date. A TfL spokesperson denied this saying: "The procurement of the trains has had no impact on the delayed opening of the central section."
6 September 2018: Fronting the Greater London Assembly, transport commissioner Mike Brown conceded TfL and the Treasury, who are joint funding the project, did not know how much Crossrail's timeline blowout was likely to be.
31 August 2018: It was officially announced that Crossrail's opening had been delayed by at least nine months to autumn 2019. The company behind the project said the schedule has been revised "to complete the final infrastructure and extensive testing required".
24 July 2018: An annual update on Crossrail from then transport minister Jo Johnson said the Department for Transport (DfT) and Transport for London (TfL) had agreed to the new £15.4bn funding figure. Last year the figure was expected to be £14.8bn.
6 July 2018: In its 2018 Annual Report, the Infrastructure Projects Authority gave Crossrail an amber delivery confidence assessment meaning it was looking at a cost or schedule overrun if "significant issues" were not addressed. It was the first time the project has received a rating below a green category.
How much is it all going to cost?
At the moment the official known cost is around the £17bn-mark. An announcement on 10 December revealed Crossrail was set to cost up to an additional £2bn with the Greater London Authority set to grant TfL a £1.4bn loan to finish off the scheme.
An annual update on Crossrail from then transport minister Jo Johnson in July said the DfT and TfL had agreed to a £15.4bn funding figure. In 2017 that figure was expected to be £14.8bn, meaning costs had increased by £600m.
In October 2018 the project was given a further £350m cash injection, while in November a report from the London Assembly's budget and performance committee revealed the additional cost that had been agreed so far was only enough to keep Crossrail going until the end of March 2019. This £350m plan has been scrapped in favour of the £1.4bn bailout laid out in December.
The London Assembly's report also revealed TfL was losing out on up to £190m next year in lost fares and advertising revenue because of the delay.
In January 2019 it is revealed that the scheme only has an 80% chance of being built within its newly approved budget and that it is costing £30m a week.
When is Crossrail now due to open?
In April 2019 Crosrail boss Mark Wild confirmed the scheme would open some time between October 2020 and March 2021. This does not include Bond Street station.
After the delay was first announched it was meant to open before the end of autumn 2019, but then the London Assembly put a cat among the pigeons suggesting Crossrail may not open until December 2019 – a full 12 months later than it was originally due to open.
A report from the assembly's budget and performance committee said that if TfL, which is helping fund the scheme and will be responsible for running the line, "wants to co-ordinate with the National Rail timetable, it is likely that this means December 2019".

Phase one is complete -- we have a fence for Sophie and Milos. They don't appreciate being jailed much, but it is great to know there is somewhere to put them during the construction phases. You can see pictures of the fencing project in the Gallery. We had a minor setback on the utilities. They are going to need to move the electric panel closer to the actual entry point.
But, there is VERY good news!! I had to go to work, but the excavator thought he would able to start today. Sunday afternoon, the contractor and Dave did some work laying out the exact foundation and deciding on the final floor level. It looks like we will get quite a bit of dirt from digging out for the house. Hopefully, we won't need to scrounge much other dirt.
Maybe the next posting will have pictures of the house foundation under construction. Yippee.
Saturday was Dave's birthday and we went out for Chinese food -- had a great weekend weatherwise, too.
The only downside was when Sophie managed to get a stick wedged between her molars across the top of her mouth while wrestling with Milos. We couldn't figure out what was wrong -- she was ok until she would try to eat or drink and then was in a lot of discomfort. We pried her mouth open and tried everything, but couldn't see the problem
So, off to the emergency vet (about 1.5 hours away) at 4:30. Long story -- it took two vet techs and two vets to finally see that stupid black stick resting on the black roof of her mouth. It was fit snuggly into one of the ridges and completely hidden. Anyway, after it was removed -- she licked everyone wagged her tail and drank a gallon of water.
Everyone was fine when I left at 11 pm for the B&B. It is about time for me to move to the lot. Dave used the shower with the generator and we have the hot water heater working. So, I am running out of excuses (ha).
Now, I'm off to bed.

Sounds like good progress all around! Our fence people are here today; We spent all weekend taking down that old rotten shed and leveling out some areas with some dirt we had delivered; We made a small circle of rocks in the front for a flower garden. The grass seed I threw on the ground in the back is growing in spots -- be interesting to see if it survives the fence installers. Ha. We'll send some pictures too when more progress is to be had.

Hey Ryan,
Don't forget to send me a link to the pictures of the new fence -- nice talking with you too.

Our Brand is Crisis stumbles in turning the 2002 Bolivian presidential election into a cohesive dramedy but the film is packed with memorable humor.
After a decade brawling on the stage of United States political theater, Jane "Calamity" Bodine (Sandra Bullock) is living a quiet life in a remote mountain cabin. Three years sober and getting the best sleep of her life, Bodine spends her days crafting pottery and recovering from her former job as a campaign strategist. When past colleague Nell (Ann Dowd) and consultant for hire Ben (Anthony Mackie) show up on Bodine's doorstep, asking for her expertise in the 2002 Bolivian presidential campaign, Bodine initially declines the job - until she discovers that her former rival, Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton), has been hired to aid an opposing candidate.
Despite her disillusions about electoral processes, and all around disdain for politicians, Bodine cannot resist a chance to beat Candy, agreeing to help Nell, Ben, and director of advertising Rich (Scoot McNairy) back Bolivian President turned senator turned Presidential candidate, Pedro Gallo (Joaquim de Almeida). However, in the aftermath of his previous (controversial) administration from 1993 to 1997, Gallo is an unpopular choice in Bolivia - forcing Bodine and her colleagues to reframe Gallo's candidacy to suit his strengths: a steady hand in a time of "crisis."
Our Brand is Crisis draws inspiration, and its premise, directly from the actual 2002 Bolivian presidential election; still, most details and names have been changed in order to transform the very real (and sometimes violent) upheaval of 2002 Bolivia into a digestible docu-dramedy. Director David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express) is challenged with maintaining a very careful balance between social (and political) commentary as well as comedic banter and entertaining situations. The result is an amusing but very routine tale of a jaded character, pulled out of retirement, who then reconnects with her passions just in time to instill actual change.
Unfortunately, the blurry lines between fact and fiction in Our Brand is Crisis undermine the strength of Green's core messaging. It's a commendable tale that highlights the importance of grassroots action - rather than (hollow) promises. Yet, with so many alterations to the real story of Bolivia's 2002 election, Green struggles to ensure that his fictional retelling of the competition between the real-life of Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada and Evo Morales is as poignant as it is entertaining - especially given the risk of leading moviegoers to believe the events presented in Our Brand is Crisis actually occurred as depicted.
Plenty of films take significant liberties with history, favoring a thematic portrait of people and/or events instead of a straightforward retelling (see: Steve Jobs); nevertheless, the cheeky tone of Green's movie is often at odds with its stakes - turning a fertile backdrop for social-satire or contemplative docu-drama into a muddled mix of the two that is neither profound nor outright funny.
Unsurprisingly, Bullock (Gravity) is charming in the lead role; though, Our Brand is Crisis is unlikely to be the award season darling the actress may have been promised when she signed on for her part. Bullock makes every moment with Bodine believable - from tough talk with Gallo to frantic (and even drunken) campaign shenanigans. Even though Bodine is entirely fictional, Bullock manages to depict her political strategist with charisma and nuance - blending humor and heart, even though the larger film fails in that same endeavor. It is Green's generic depiction of Bodine and her journey from deadened consultant to political activist, that underwhelms in Our Brand is Crisis, not the actress.
Similarly, Thornton (Fargo) transforms callous campaign manager Pat Candy, a thin nemesis cliché on the page, into one of the movie's biggest successes. Every interaction between Bodine and Candy is engaging - thanks to a tense but playful relationship between the opposing strategists (as well as great chemistry from their respective performers). Sadly, most of the pair's interactions are brief checkpoints in the unfolding tale - with only a few vague allusions to their storied rivalry. Even with a strong turn from Thornton, Candy is underused - especially since Our Brand is Crisis attempts a hasty summation of Bodine and her troubled history by spelling out a moment where the pair's feud went too far - without actually bringing Bodine's flaws (alcoholism, self-loathing, and specious morals) full circle.
Like Thornton, Joaquim de Almeida (Fast Five) is another standout as Gallo (inspired by President Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada). The actor's transformation of Gallo throughout Our Brand is Crisis, as the candidate embraces Bodine's advice, is more nuanced than viewers might initially think - succeeding on a level that is only apparent in the film's final act. Alternatively, supporting players, especially Anthony Mackie (Captain America: Civil War) and Scoot McNairy (Batman V Superman) offer exaggerated takes on political drama tropes. Neither character is fleshed-out; still, they succeed in their main purpose - as a mirror on which Bodine can reflect her evolving feelings about Gallo, politics, and disenfranchised Latin Americans.
Our Brand is Crisis stumbles in turning the 2002 Bolivian presidential election into a cohesive dramedy but the film is packed with memorable humor - especially Green's version of a mountainside car chase. Viewers who understand that Our Brand is Crisis is not a definitive retelling of the real life Lozada campaign (which resulted in tumultuous cultural upheaval, mass protests, and even death) will find intriguing moments of insight into how American campaign management (and misinformation) has influenced aspiring politicians around the world. Elections are an easy target for social satire but the 2002 Bolivian setting adds a fresh perspective through which to view American politics (mostly for the worse).
Viewers looking for an educational adaptation of Bolivian political history will, without question, find a lot of problems with Green's use of the contest between Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada and Evo Morales. Similarly, moviegoers hoping for a zany dramedy may find that Green spends too much time (struggling) to emphasize larger sociocultural messages instead of delivering cutting satire. Instead, Our Brand is Crisis lands in a safe middle ground. It won't inspire political activism or hearty laughs but serves as a palatable reminder that, sometimes, real-life is stranger than fiction - especially in political theater.
Our Brand is Crisis runs 107 minutes and is Rated R for language including some sexual references. Now playing in theaters.
