Movies Worth A Second Look: 'Polisse'
A harrowing look at the day-to-day work of the men and women who form
the Child Protection Unit of the
Parisian police, this acclaimed French film received limited release in
the United States in May 2012, but is worth a look on DVD and Blu-ray. The
performances are superb with the focus entirely on the police officers who
have to deal with child abuse and neglect cases on a daily basis and the emotional
toll the work takes on them and their families. The subject matter is unpleasant
but certainly relevant in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky case. "Polisse" won
the Jury Prize at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival and nominated
for 13 César Awards, the French equivalent of the Oscar. While some of the film tends to drag and many of the
scenes show the mundane way the unit approaches its work and builds a
case, there is a shocking ending that you will not be prepared for.

Guest Review: 'Les Misérables' Will Move You
By James Phyrillas
So, I decided that I couldn't wait, ahem - "one day more" - to see "Les Misérables," and I saw it today. Now, I have a heart of stone and a belief that humanity cannot be changed for the better (sound familiar?). That being said, I've never cried more in my entire life.
This film takes everything that makes a film great and does the exact opposite. There's no flashy effects, no clever camera styles, and none of those cheap flashback moments. No, instead, this film is fueled only by human emotion. The people in the film live in true misery. Children are murdered, and their blood lines the streets of Paris. This film has a very clear understanding of death and how it feels to others. When a character goes through suffering, it is felt by everyone.
Which reminds me, I must credit the actors for this, specifically Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway. (Sasha Baron Cohen and Helena Boham Carter also do a lot to liven things up.) And of course, there's the religious standpoint of it all: Jean Valjean puts all his faith in God, and everything turns around for him. Javert acts like all those other religious wackos who think they have the power to damn people, and look where that gets him. But when it is all over, the grand finale is perhaps the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I'm getting teary-eyed just typing this, I hope I don't short out the computer. This is a film for the ages, my personal greatest film of all time. All I can say is, I'm proud to serve my God.
Yeah, that's right. I'm tired of hiding my personal reviews of movies. I'm going to make Facebook a movie-reviewing site! VIVA LA REVOLUTION...yeah, I'm never gonna get over this movie.

Movies Worth Another Look: 'Safe'
Director/Writer Boaz Yakin teams up with British action star Jason Statham for one of the best action films in years. Statham, who has sleepwalked through many of his recent roles, gives one of his best acting performances in this story about a former cop/mercenary/CIA-type who befriends a young Chinese girls who is in the middle of a gang war involving Russian and Chinese mobsters in New York City. The action is first rate and the story is gripping. This film inexplicably died at the box office in April, earning a paltry $17 million. It's worth watching on DVD.

Mark Driscoll: 'Twilight' Is for Girls What Porn Is to Boys
Pastor Mark Driscoll says the "Twilight" movies series is not just harmless drivel for pre-teen girls.
From an article in The Christian Post:
From an article in The Christian Post:
"I have ranted on this garbage-tastic phenomenon before, and find the whole genre profoundly troubling. The popularity of supernatural soap operas has inspired some real-life demonic trends. Overreaction? Tell that to the kids biting, cutting, drinking blood – sometimes while having sex – and sinking deeper into the occult."Mark Driscoll: 'Twilight' Is for Girls What Porn Is to Boys
In his blog post, Driscoll listed several news stories about youth acting out vampire-like behavior.
"Teenagers obsessed with the Twilight vampire saga, or those simply fascinated with fangs, reportedly have been biting each other – hard – and then licking or sucking the blood," he quoted NBC News. "'These are kids who think they are real vampires,' said Dr. Orly Avitzur. [. . .] 'Having that thick, warm copper-tasting blood in my mouth is the best thing I can think of!' wrote a teenager identified as 'GothicGirl10' this year. 'Sometimes my boyfriend lets me feed off him. I let him feed off me as well.'"

Movies Worth A Second Look: 'Lockout'
Why this film failed at the box office is a mystery. It is one of the best action films I've ever seen, and I've seen them all. Guy Pearce is fantastic in the lead role of a mercenary sent on a suicide mission to save the president's daughter, who somehow gets herself trapped inside a maximum security prison floating above the earth. This film takes place in the future if you haven't guessed. The chemistry between Pearce and Maggie Grace (the daughter in "Taken") is fantastic. Lots of great action, some of the funniest lines you've ever heard in an action film and twist ending that nobody sees coming.

Movies Worth A Second Look: 'Machine Gun Preacher'
This film received terrific reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival, but could not get a major studio to release it. It died a quick death at the box office in very limited release in September 2011, but this is a powerful story and Gerard Butler ("300") gives a terrific performance based on a true-life story about a Pennsylvania pastor who wants to build an orphanage in war-torn Sudan. When local militias try to stop him, the preacher pulls out his machine gun and does battle with them. That's an oversimplification of a well-acted, well-written film that more people should see.

'Resident Evil: Retribution' Tops 'Finding Nemo' at Weekend Box Office
The
cartoonish, but definitely not-for-kids "Resident Evil: Retribution" in
3-D topped the weekend box office, edging out the cartoonish and
definitely-for-kids re-release of "Finding Nemo" in 3-D.
The fifth installment in the "Resident Evil" series starring Milla Jovovich as indestructible zombie fighter Alice earned $21.1 million.
"Finding Nemo" earned $17.5 million, a bit of a disappointment for Disney/Pixar considering that Nemo had a built-in audience and was tailor-made for a 3-D conversion. But don't shed any tears for Disney/Pixar, which reportedly spent $5 million to convert "Nemo" into 3-D so the studio has already seen a profit.
Also of note: "2016: Obama's America" earned another $2 million at the box office, topping $30 million so far.
Unfortunately, the studio that released "2016: Obama's America" - Rocky Mountain Pictures - could not replicate its earlier success with the faith-based "Last Ounce of Courage," which earned just $1.7 million in more than 1,400 theaters.

One of Worst Weekends at Box Office in Two Decades
Hardly anybody went to the movies this weekend, but the documentary "2016 Obama's America" finished in the Top 10 again, earning $3.3 million to bring its cumulative box office total to $26.1 million.
That makes it the second highest-grossing political documentary of all time, behind only Michael Moore's idiotic "Fahrenheit 9/11," the anti-Bush screed that was pushed by the mainstream media for months.
"2016 Obama's America" has done remarkable business considering a near total publicity blackout by the pro-Obama media.With its $3.3 million take this weekend, "2016 Obama's America" passed Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth," and Michael Moore's "Sicko" on the all-time box office list of political documentaries..

Weekend Box Office: 'Expendables 2' Takes Number 1
The Sylvester Stallone action film easily won the weekend box office, but the sequel only took in $28 million, compared to $34 million from the first 'Expendables' flick in 2010. It just goes to show that not everything gets better with age.
One other notable note: "The Dark Knight Rises" crossed the $400 million mark in the domestic box office, becoming only the 15th film ever to reach such heights, but the Christopher Nolan finale of the Batman series will not come to close to earning what "The Dark Knight" did.

In the future, wall space in the lab will be available for student art displays, community group forums, political debates and workshops on blogging, writing resumés, job searches and producing videos, said Mercury editor Nancy March.
“The Community Media Lab is an extension of an initiative we started two years ago with our Town Square blogging network, and with this joint opening, it now involves downtown business,” she said.

'The Avengers' sets box-office records
The official box-office numbers are in and "The Avengers" did better than studio estimates. The film took in $207.4 million in its opening weekend.
Ray Subers recaps the record-breaking opening of "The Avengers" at BoxOfficeMojo.com:
It was the fastest movie ever to reach $100 million, $150 million, and $200 million, and it set new records for Saturday ($69.7 million) and Sunday ($50.1 million) grosses. It also had the highest per-theater average ever for a nationwide release with $46,057.
Through its first three days, The Avengers has already grossed more than Thor ($181 million), Captain America: The First Avenger ($176.6 million) and The Incredible Hulk ($134.8 million). It's still behind Iron Man and Iron Man 2 ($318.4 million and $312.4 million, respectively), though it should pass those movies next weekend.
