If so, you better have more than just a New Mexico driver’s license. The Army base east of Las Cruces announced that, since the New Mexico driver’s license or issued identification card is not in compliance with the Federal REAL ID Act, they are no longer a valid single form of identification that can be used to gain access to the missile range. The state’s licenses can still be used at airports, though. The Department of Homeland Security extended the deadline for state driver licenses to meet REAL ID standards until Jan. 22, 2018.

Review by Zak Hansen Las Cruces Bulletin

In terms of horror movie settings, you’d be hard pressed to find a more intrinsically chilling locale than that of “The Forest”: Japan’s Aokigahara Forest, a dense, verdant sea of green at the base of Mount Fuji that draws scores of lost souls each year to commit suicide, earning it the grim sobri- quet “The Suicide Forest.” Apocrypha and folklore tell the forest was a prime location for the (alleged) custom of ubasute – literally, “abandoning an old woman” – where the old and infirm were taken to a re- mote area and left to succumb to the elements, most common during times of drought and famine. As such, it’s rumored to be home to scores of yurei, the restless spirits of the dead held back from the peace of the afterlife. However, a spooky setting does not a horror flick make – think last year’s unforgivable Paris Catacombs clunker “As Above, So Below” – and “The For- est” squanders this prime location with poor writing, clunky editing and, worst of all, a complete lack of legiti- mate scares. As the film opens with a too-brief “Game of Thrones” actress Natalie Dormer stars in dual roles in the cut-rate creeper “The Forest,” now playing at Allen Theatres. cascade of exposition, American Sara Price (Natalie Dormer, of “Game of is still moving – and, in her hotel, tired clichés, cut-rate CGI effects and ters are vague, static characters, their Thrones” and “The Hunger Games”) meets Australian journalist Aiden too many half-formed narrative inner selves haphazardly proffered has her idyllic life as a young newly- (Taylor Kinney, of “Zero Dark Thirty” threads vying for prominence, utterly through sloppy aesthetic trappings – wed thrown into turmoil by a heavily and TV’s “Shameless”) in the forest on sidestepping the gravity of its locale.
