Anthony Hopkins wants to avoid awards season
SIR ANTHONY HOPKINS is hoping to take a backseat during Hollywood's upcoming awards season because he can't stand the prospect of pandering to producers in a bid to land a prize.
The Welsh star already boasts a huge collection of trophies, including Emmys, BAFTAs and Golden Globes, as well as a Best Actor Academy Award for his role in The Silence of the Lambs.
He is tipped to win another Oscar for his portrayal of film legend Sir Alfred Hitchcock in new movie Hitchcock, but Hopkins is adamant he doesn't want to join in the annual parties and publicity trail.
Hopkins tells The Hollywood Reporter, "I've been around - I've got the Oscar myself for Silence of the Lambs and having to be nice to people and to be charming and flirting with them... Oh, come on! People go out of their way to flatter the nominating body and I think it's kind of disgusting. That's always been against my nature... You know, kissing the backside of the authorities that can make or break it; I can't stand all that. I find it nauseating to watch and I think it's disgusting to behold.
"People grovelling around and kissing the backsides of famous producers and all that. It makes me want to throw up, it really does. It's sick-making. I've seen it so many times. I saw it fairly recently, last year. Some great producer-mogul and everyone kisses this guy's backside. I think, 'What are they doing? Don't they have any self respect?' I wanted to say, 'F**k off.'"

Apple to roll out larger-screen iPhone models, scrap 5c, report says
Apple will come out with two new iPhone models this year, and each one will feature a larger screen, sources say.
The Cupertino tech giant will release a version of its flagship device that features a screen larger than 4.5 inches and another with a screen that is larger than 5 inches, according to the Wall Street Journal. Current generation iPhones have 4-inch screens.
Development of the 4.5-inch-plus model is further along and is being prepped for mass production. The larger model, meanwhile, is in preliminary development, the Journal reported, citing unnamed sources.
Both new iPhone models will be made of metal and glass, similar to that found on the current top-of-the-line iPhone 5s, the report said.
Apple is also planning to scrap its plastic iPhone 5c model, the report said. The 5c replaced the iPhone 5 in 2013, but the device has failed to find the success its counterpart, the 5s, has.
In September last year, numerous Australian stores reported they were struggling to sell the 5c, while retailers in the US attempted to entice customers to purchase it by dropping its price and offering gift cards.
Apple increased the size of its smartphone screen in 2012, bumping it up from 3.5 inches to 4 inches. The tech giant may be looking to increase the size further as a way to remain competitive in Asian markets such as China, where Apple has struggled to find success. Devices with larger screens, such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with its 5.7-inch screen, are particularly popular in Asian markets.
Apple has been said to be developing versions of the iPhone that come with curved screens, but this report said that technology will not be included in Apple's 2014 iPhone models.

April 28, 2005
LOS ANGELES – Students and alumni at the UCLA Anderson School of Management packed into Korn Convocation Hall to hear from one corporate executive whose management style is analyzed and taught in business schools nationwide.
Jack Welch, former CEO and chairman of General Electric for 20 years, came to Anderson on Monday to discuss leadership, management skills and the current state of corporate America. He retired from General Electric in 2001.
During his tenure as an executive, General Electric's market value rose from $13 billion to $500 billion, and the company went on to have the largest market capitalization – the number of shares outstanding in the stock market multiplied by the stock price of each share – in the U.S. stock market.
Anderson Dean Bruce Willison asked Welch questions about leadership and what skills are needed to be successful in the workforce. Then audience members were able to ask Welch questions.
Dean Willison asked Welch about what elements are required to be a good leader. Welch responded that when newly minted MBA recipients head into the workplace, their primary goal should be to produce individual results.
But once an employee is promoted to management, the focus must shift to working in a team.
"The moment you become a leader, it's about them," he said, referring to team members.
Welch said he believes that the transition from executing as an individual to managing a team can be difficult, but it is necessary to become a good leader.
He also discussed some qualities he looked for in potential leaders when putting together a solid management team at General Electric.
Passion and energy were some characteristics that he mentioned.
"People want a can-do personality," he said.
Welch elaborated that good leaders have vision and "give people a new perspective that they never had."
He also expanded on the importance of producing results and emphasized that to be successful in the workplace, an individual should display his or her "ability to over-deliver."
According to Welch, "over-delivering" will show management how valuable the individual is to the company.
"Then you have something to show your boss," he said.
Welch also commented on the state of corporate America and discussed the role of service that board members should be playing. He said board members should focus on helping their companies as a whole with a wider perspective of that company.
He called on executives to get involved with the companies they run and encouraged them to better understand the employees who work for them. Furthermore, he said board members should not waste time by trying to micromanage their employees.
"Boards are forgetting what their jobs are," he said. "The board has to touch and feel real people doing real things."
He also shed light on how to move up the corporate ladder.
"One of the main ways to get promoted is to go where the action is," Welch said.
For example, he said, if a company is investing in China and making it a part of its corporate strategy, traveling abroad and working there is paramount.
One audience member asked Welch about the goals he had when he graduated from college. Welch said when he was younger he did not have aspirations to become an executive. For him the goal was "to make enough money to eat."
Welch said one of the best ways to learn and experience mentorship is through reading various financial publications, such as the Wall Street Journal and Fortune magazine. He added that a one-on-one mentorship is not the only way to learn, and that taking the time to read such publications can provide young businesspeople with a lot of information.
Overall, Anderson students said they enjoyed Welch's visit.
"He's just a dynamic character," said Brian Below, a second-year MBA student. "His humor and personality go a long way," he said.
"I thought he was very personable," said second-year MBA student Wendy Tirsch.

"Barbara Bosworth's photographs are graced with an uncommon elegance and intimacy," "The expansive sweep and clarity of her prints open the landscape before us with a deceptive agility, but it is in their richness of experience and sensation that they are so compelling." Toby Jurovics, Curator

(CNN) -- Chinese officials have revoked the visa of former U.S. Olympic speed skater Joey Cheek, an action that has worried the White House.
U.S. speed skater Joey Cheek won a gold medal at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy.
Cheek said he was informed of the action by the Chinese Consulate Wednesday night as he prepared to travel to Beijing for the Games.
"They said, you know, you're not going to be able to travel to China; your visa's been revoked," Cheek said. "And when I asked for a reason, they said, we don't need to give you a reason."
Cheek, a 2006 gold medalist, was not going to the Games to compete but to support 70 athletes who are part of a group he co-founded called Team Darfur. The group's mission is to raise awareness about the humanitarian crisis in Darfur, Sudan.
One of the members of Team Darfur is Lopez Lomong, a 23-year-old competitor in the 1,500-meter race, who has been chosen to be the flag bearer for the U.S. Olympic team, leading it into the stadium for the opening ceremony Friday.
Lomong's connection to Sudan is personal, as his family fled the country to escape attack when he was 6. He was separated from his parents and spent 10 years in a refugee camp before the U.S. government resettled him in the town of Tully, in upstate New York, according to the U.S. Olympic Committee.
He was among roughly 3,800 refugees, dubbed the Lost Boys of Sudan by reporters and aid workers, who were resettled in cities across the United States.
Human rights groups have faulted China for doing too little to pressure Sudan, a trading partner, to halt unremitting bloodshed in Darfur. An estimated 300,000 people have been killed and 2.5 million forced from their homes in a campaign of violence in Darfur that the United States has condemned as genocide.
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said the U.S. ambassador in Beijing has spoken to Chinese officials to "express our concern and complaint" about the revocation of Cheek's visa.
"It's slower than we would like," she said, "and they're actually running out of time to be able to rectify it."
Wang Baodong, spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, said China's visa system is "above reproach and deserves respect."
"We sincerely hope as the Beijing Olympic games is a sports gala of the whole world, that relevant parties stop politicizing the games and help create favorable conditions for a successful event," Baodong said.
CNN's Abbi Tatton and Elise Labott contributed to this report.

The 3D Realms Forums (thanks Voodoo Extreme) offer the news that the Triton digital distribution service is shutting down (or has already done so, as their site is 404 "not found" as of this writing). The service was responsible for the digital distribution and management of Prey, and without it running, download copies of the game cannot authorize and launch. Until things are cleared up further, even 3D Realms is unclear as to what this all means. Here's the post by web-guru Joe Siegler:

For the curious, the original rules can be found at liebsterawards.blogspot.com. Just so you know, the blog is in Spanish.*
The basic concept is to follow a set of rules, like so:
- Acknowledge the blog that nominated you and display the award badge
- Answer the eleven questions given to you by the blogger who nominated you
- Provide eleven miscellaneous facts about yourself
- Nominate eleven blogs of relatively small readership that you think deserve to be better-known
- Notify the bloggers that you've nominated them
- Compile eleven questions for your nominees to answer
Okay, here we go...
2. And now to answer the eleven questions posed by Kamalia.....
a) Tell me about a game or games — video or table or both! — that you are really enjoying right now.
I'm going to break these down into three categories: MMO games, non-MMO video games, and tabletop games.
MMO games: WoW, SWTOR, Age of Conan, Star Trek Online.
Non-MMO video games: Civ IV and Rome: Total War. (Yeah, I know I should get Civ V but I still like IV a lot).
Tabletop Games: Fluxx (various incarnations, but Star Fluxx and Monty Python Fluxx are great), Settlers of Catan (an oldie but goodie), D&D 3.0, Zombie Dice, TransAmerica, Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures, Savage Worlds. Really, there are too many good games out there to limit yourself, but I had to try.
b) What classes, races, or roles do you find yourself most drawn to in RPGs, whether in D&D, a single-player video game, or an MMO?
For video games, I don't really have much of a preference. In the Baldur's Gate games, I played Fighters, but in MMOs I've been all over the place. I'll play just about any race, class, or sex, depending on what I find interesting.
In non-video games, I tend to play Clerics. I kind of got roped into playing one on my first college D&D campaign, and I've been playing one ever since. The current campaign I'm on --the D&D 3.0 campaign that's been ongoing since 2001-- I play a Human Cleric.
c) When you make your first character in a new game, do you try to make a character that is in some way an avatar of your RL self, or do you make someone entirely different?
Um, yeah, I do. Of course, finding a Blood Elf with a beard was a bit of an issue, but it is there. Barely.
Once I get that out of my system, I tend to veer off into other toons that look nothing like me.
d) Describe a typical session of playing your current favorite video/computer game.
Depends on the game, really. If I'm not at max level, I log in and do a bit of questing, and maybe get in an instance (with allowances made for time). If I'm at max level --like Azshandra is in WoW-- I'll queue for a battleground. Either way, my play time is fairly limited due to family/work/whatever, so I try to get the biggest bang for the buck.
e) What was the very first computer/video game you ever played? How old were you?
Hoo boy. I guess this dates myself, but I remember playing the Sears version of Pong back in the mid-70s as a little kid.
But the first adventure game (not Atari's Adventure, but a "real" one) I played was Colossal Cave circa 1980, on a friend's brother-in-law's** work network, that you had to pay on a per hour basis to access. We didn't even have a computer monitor to look at, the "computer" was a terminal with a scrolling paper printout, so you'd type in a command, hit RETURN, and wait for the teletype machine to spew out the results on the roll of paper. We got in BIG trouble playing the game one afternoon, as we were told we could play one hour and played for four.
f) Do you have more than one blog? If so, what is/are your other blog(s) about? (Blog names/links not necessary, and you don't have to include personal/family/work-related blogs unless you really want to.)
I've got an LJ account that I rarely post to, but aside from PC that's about it.
g) Name three non-WoW/game-related websites that you visit frequently.
Non-WoW or game related? Okay...
- The Register -- It keeps me grounded in the IT world, and it's not afraid to tweak the big IT companies.
- The Mary Sue -- A geeky website that also presents things from a feminist slant, which given that I have daughters, is a good thing.
- The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County -- Just because. And that the local library system is really awesome. You really should check it out, even if you're not local to the area, because you just might find interesting things like this.
h) What was/is your favorite animal to see at the zoo?
The white bengal tigers. When the new habitat opened at the Cincinnati Zoo back in the late 70s, that was THE major attraction. Of course, the tigers kind of loafed around most of the day, but the concept of white tigers was awesome.
i) Cake or Pie? What is your favorite flavor of your preferred dessert?
Pie. If you'd have asked me about 30 years ago, I'd have said cake, but I love a good slice of apple pie.
j) What toppings do you like on a pizza? on an ice-cream sundae?
Pizza: Pepperoni and pineapple. I only rarely get it because I get outvoted when we order pizza. You'd think that pineapple was anchovies or something...
Ice-cream sundae: Good ol' chocolate.
k) What is your favorite writing instrument?
The computer. A long time ago I used to be able to write cursive, but after years of typing (and writing code) I've lost the ability to use cursive. Considering I was never that fast or that good on penmanship anyway, it's not that big of a loss.
Until I started using Wordstar and Wordperfect in college, I used to compose at the typewriter. It's not the fastest method of composition, but when I was finished I didn't have to revise. But nowadays, I'm grateful for the built-in editing capability of word processors.
3) Eleven miscellaneous facts about yourself? Well, in no particular order...
- Unlike Westley or Inigo Montoya, I am left handed.
- I once got the Evil Eye from legendary Temple University basketball coach, John Chaney. How he found me in the sea of 13000+ people when I was hollering at him "Siddown, Chaney!" after he protested a call by the refs, I'll never know. But he looked right at me with that look, the 'I'm gonna find you and make you wish you were never born' look. "Oh my God," I breathed to my wife, "I'm SO dead." (Thankfully, nothing happened, but that was only a few years removed from Chaney threatening to kill another coach during a press conference. He was, um, a bit of a hothead.)
- Due to my tendency to be a font of weird facts, one of my high school nicknames was 'Cliff' after Cliff Claven from the television show Cheers.
- I ran track in high school. You'd never guess at it now, given that my build resembles the Pillsbury Doughboy, but that's life.
- I'm an introvert. (Okay, stop laughing.) No, seriously. I still remember the first time I went into Orgrimmar, following Soul as he was giving me the tour, but I was stunned by the crowd of players. I kept telling myself that nobody cares, nobody is looking at the noob, but it still was a shock. And, naturally, I was found by the guy looking for people to sign his guild charter, which didn't help my sense of feeling exposed. I eventually got over that, but when I'm out in the wild and I stumble on someone after having not seen anybody for a long time, I still feel the urge to port out and get away. And I still rarely talk online, even to the people I've friended on MMOs, because I'm sure they're busy and I'd be taking them away from that, yadda yadda yadda...
- I have a dead-on impression of Kermit the Frog, but it hurts my throat to do it for any length of time.
- I once organized a water gun fight in the Chemistry/Geology building at my university. My co-conspirator and I called it Urban Warfare in Wohlleben Hall, and it was back in the pre-9/11 environment when you could pull this sort of thing off without having Campus Security descend on you. My team won, mainly because one team member hid so well that nobody on the other team could find him. He then ambushed them when their guard was down, "killing" them via super soaker in one fell swoop.
- I had a ringside seat at the "Satanic Panic" surrounding D&D and other RPGs back in the 80s. My own collection of D&D material was thrown out because it was considered to be Satanic, and I was ostracized by my fellow middle school gamers who feared that their parents would jump on the "D&D is Eeeevil" bandwagon just by associating with me. Needless to say, I have a pretty dim view of the people who promoted this sort of thing.
- I've worn a beard since my senior year of college, when my girlfriend back then suggested that I would look good in one. It must have worked, because she married me a few years later.
- It's been a decade since I last did it, but I've puttered around with homebrewing and home winemaking. My favorite beer I made was a Scotch Ale (partial mash, for those who know homebrewing), and my favorite wine was a Pinot Noir made from a kit.
- I once had a DJ shift during college. While I'd like to say that I had a hand in programming my shift, I'd be lying. Still, it was fun to work the board, punch up the music via tape and vinyl (!), and chat over the air. The bonus was that almost nobody listened to us, so I didn't have any fear of performing.
- Biobreak (who might beat that 200 follower limit, but it's worth a try)
- Going Commando
- MMO Gypsy
- She's All Nerd (I wonder which of their blogging team will get to do this one)
- The Jazz Panda
- The Dacheng Diaries
- Warlockery
- Hawtpants of the Old Republic
- Null Signifier
- MMO Gamer Chick (since I already nominated 2/3 of the Battle Bards, might as well get Steph too!)
- Alts Etcetera (because Lyrestra retired Musings of an Altoholic and created a new blog)
- When did you first get into gaming? (It doesn't have to be computer gaming that you started with.)
- What MMO toon is your favorite of all time? Right now?
- What was the funniest thing that ever happened to you in an MMO?
- Just how many toons do you have, anyway?
- Raiding, questing, PvP, or RP: which do you like the most and why? The least?
- When you put the keyboard and/or gamepad down, what do you do for fun?
- What drove you to write a gaming blog?
- Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter: which season do you like the best?
- What music do you listen to?
- What is the best dish/dessert you cook?
- What's the worst earworm you've ever had?
*Google Translate is my friend!
**The friend's sister was much older than us --I think about 12-14 years older-- and he was visiting her for the summer. I'm not as old as Ancient, but I'm definitely on the older side of the average MMO player.

Suspect's Mother Says They Have the "Right Person" Are the Parents to Blame? [POLL]
With today's tragedy in an Aurora movie theater, images of Columbine come to mind. One in particular, the news stories blaming everything from the music they listened to, the games they played, to the way they were raised. It was known that the shooters of Columbine had "motive" to what they did. but nothing is known about James Holmes other than the fact that he was an PhD student at CU Denver in the neuroscience program and people said he seemed like a normal guy.Well, just like Columbine people are questioning the parents. In one news story on the TV they said the father was escorted by police to a car and in another one the mom said, "You have the right person."
You have the right person," the mother said, speaking on instinct. "I need to call the police," she added. "I need to fly out to Colorado."
What are your thoughts? Do you think that the parents should be blamed?

|Released: August 31, 2017
|Full Length: 27 minutes
Ryan Bailey and Oliver Saxon are feelin' feisty and obviously have some issues to work out. They're releasing some pent up sexual tension by wrestling one another in a gorgeous San Diego park.... in public. #HOT Their virile young bodies flex and ripple as they toss one another around clad only in short shorts and muscle T's. Pinned to the ground by rambunctious Bailey, sexy Saxon can't help but get hard in his loose fitting grey sweat shorts. The wrestling continues inside till the boys wear themselves out and wind up in a snuggle pile stealing salty kisses. The pretty pair peel off their clothes and Ryan gets to work eating Saxon's piece, still wet with sweet, salty, yummy young man sweat. Bailey works his way down to Oliver's amazing ass, which is a true thing of beauty. He dominates the kid's hole with his darting tongue before Olie flips Bailey on his back and deep throats the shit out of the boy's legendary large loin. Saxon climbs on top of the freshly sucked dick and squats his perfect ass right down on Ryan's condom free cock, no lube required. Bailey bangs our boy's bubble all over the bed, doing delicious damage in several salacious positions until Saxon can no longer contain his cum. Looking directly into Bailey's eyes, the boy blows a nasty amount of nut all over his smooth, rippled torso. Ready to explode, Ryan jumps up and rams his rod right in Oliver's open mouth. Our boy eats every thick, juicy drop before Bailey plants one more kiss on Oliver's pretty cock sucker.

Sustainable wild plant harvesting proves a global success
Berlin, Germany, 15th September 2010—Worldwide application of a new standard for sustainable harvesting of wild medicinal, aromatic, dye and food plants and trees is charting new ways to protect the species and their habitats and benefit the communities that depend on them, according to a new report from world wildlife trade monitoring network, TRAFFIC.
In Karnatka, India, it is now possible to collect the resin of the White Palle tree used in traditional Indian medicine and incense without removing the bark and killing the trees that provide it.
In Cambodia, a new co-operative has boosted returns to medicinal plant harvesting communities through better harvesting, drying and marketing.
In Brazil, a women's co-operative in Amazonia State and a major natural cosmetics company are aiming to co-operate on the marketing of sustainably harvested products.
In Lesotho and South Africa, a harvesting and management strategy for Kalwerbossie, whose tubers are used to treat digestive disorders, will ensure sustainable harvest of the plant, thus providing long term benefits to communities.
Wild for a cure: ground-truthing a standard for sustainable management of wild plants in the field (PDF, 700 KB) details projects ranging from South America to Southern Africa and South-East Asia where new methods were devised to protect key natural resources from the wild while improving the livelihoods and benefits for local people through application of guidelines on sustainable wild collection.
"With around 15,000 of the estimated 50,000–70,000 plant species used for medicine, cosmetics or dietary supplements threatened, the need for developing practical guidelines to ensure supplies are sustainable has never been more urgent," said Anastasiya Timoshyna, TRAFFIC's Global Medicinal Plants Programme Leader and co-author of the report.
The project demonstrated sufficient flexibility in the guidelines to allow them to be adapted to meet local conditions, including a variety of governance and land tenure systems in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Cambodia, India, Lesotho, Nepal, and South Africa.
The report notes the importance of ensuring all local stakeholders—from collectors to local organizations, resource management authorities, and businesses—are involved in partnership from the outset, and that clear and realistic market openings should be identified for harvested products and with ways devised to give "added value" to products and a fair share of benefits to the owners of traditional knowledge.
Adequate resources should be allocated for training of local project workers in wild plants' resource assessment, harvest monitoring, collection and processing techniques and most importantly for protection of their traditional knowledge and benefit-sharing.
"The BMZ-funded 'Saving Plants that Save Lives and Livelihoods' project has taken an important step in bridging the gap between words and action to manage wild plants for the future of humankind," said Dirk Niebel, Germany's Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
"We are glad to demonstrate just ahead to the forthcoming Convention on Biological Diversity that by supporting TRAFFIC, we were able to contribute to the conservation of key natural plant resources from the wild, while improving the livelihoods of and benefits of local people."
The International Standard for Sustainable Collection of Wild Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (ISSC-MAP), evaluated in this study has now been combined with an existing FairWild Foundation standard aimed at ensuring trade in medicinal and aromatic plants is conducted fairly. The new FairWild Standard version 2.0 for the sustainable management and trade in wild-collected natural ingredients came into effect on 8th September (see note below).
"Germany's continued commitment to helping guarantee the sustainable use of medicinal plant resources, particularly in countries that depend on them the most, is a model example for integration of conservation and development aid policies." said Dr Carlos Drews, Director of WWF's Global Species Programme.
"The newly developed FairWild guidelines are an invaluable tool to support sustainable harvesting and management regimes, a worldwide challenge facing the conservation community" says Jane Smart, Director, IUCN Biodiversity Conservation Group.

The report Wild for a Cure can be downloaded at: http://www.traffic.org/species-reports/traffic_species_plants14.pdf
Individual project highlights can be viewed at: http://www.traffic.org/bmz-project-highlights/
The project examined implementation of the International Standard for Sustainable Collection of Wild Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (ISSC-MAP), which has subsequently been fully incorporated within the expanded FairWild Standard. The revised FairWild Standard was launched on 8th September 2010 (For more information, see http://www.fairwild.org/news/2010/9/8/revised-fairwild-standard-launched.html)
The contribution of the FairWild Standard to improving local livelihoods and conservation of wild plant diversity will feature during a series of events at the 10th Conference of the Parties (CoP) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in Nagoya, Japan, from 18–29 October 2010. Events include a public one at Nagoya Gakuin University on 19th October and a CBD CoP 10 side event on 22nd October. More at: http://www.cbd.int/register/side-events/view.aspx?id=1761

This monday I scanned the sketches and threw them, slightly edited, into a .zip-file, including some pictures, which Anja Hellwig took. I've completed over 64 of them, during the 3 hour and 20 minute long event, which means that I only had 3 minutes and 42 seconds for each of your screenshots.
Furthermore, I also noticed that the quality of the result was depending on the size and contrast of your screenshot, but all in all I'm pretty glad about all of them.

For children in the 1970s, Escape To Witch Mountain -- book or movie -- was a very big entertainment cheese.
Small wonder that someone came up with the idea of remaking the story for today's kids.
Race To Witch Mountain is that new science-fiction adventure, a film that piles on the action and the thrills to make up for what it lacks in logic. The movie begins with an Unidentified Flying Object streaking across the sky and landing on Earth, and before you know it specialists are looking for two alien beings.
Meanwhile, a Vegas cab driver named Jack Bruno (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) picks up an adolescent brother and sister (Alexander Ludwig and AnnaSophia Robb). They're both blond and attractive and they both display perfect grammar and enunciation. What the -- !
Obviously, they're the aliens.
The kids get Jack to drive them to an isolated house out in the desert, and that's when worlds collide.
The young aliens have paranormal powers, so their wisdom and huge vocabulary are matched by their ability to move objects with their minds, talk to animals and walk through walls. Their main task is to find a special object that their parents have left on Earth, and the survival of both their world and ours depends on their success.
Jack Bruno helps these kids initially because he sees them as children and feels protective toward them.
By the time he has followed them into an underground world, been chased by a train, pursued by special agents and attacked by a huge alien soldier, he and the kids are a team, fighting for the survival of our planet and theirs.
Race To Witch Mountain also has Carla Gugino in the cast, as an astrophysicist, and Ciaran Hinds as the grim UFO investigator. (And it has cameo roles for Kim Richards and Iake Eissinmann, who played the alien children in Escape To Witch Mountain.) As well, Garry Marshall turns up briefly to hijack the action in a minor role as a UFO specialist, but we're not sure how to explain that.
Race To Witch Mountain is fast and furious and the action is bound to please children, who are the target audience.
Perhaps in a nod to fans of the original movie, however, there's something pleasantly old-fashioned about the film.
It has a generally innocent air, what with space ships and earnest teenagers and such, and it has Dwayne Johnson, who turns out to be a sort of secret weapon of goodwill.
And who doesn't like The Rock?
(This film is rated PG)
