That's a lot more innovative Scrooge & Marley than anything we're likely to see in yet another film about a plodding Silver Linings Playbook behemoth in a mask chasing after dumb teenagers through the Sister woods.

As Dr. Dreyfuss investigates some long-ago murders at a facility just a few miles from the site of that house in the forest, Jeffrey is sidelined by an "accident," leaving the reluctant Annabel in charge of the girls, who are still a long way from being invited to anyone's play group. (Not that we ever see a hint of even one neighbor on the block. Does no one hear all the shaking, rattling and rolling going on in that house where the rocker chick lives with those scary little girls?) Buy now» For the longest time we don't see much of the ghostly Mama, who apparently has been alternately caring for and terrorizing the girls all these years and has made the trip with them to suburbia. She flashes by the screen, or we see just the top of her head as she zips about the house. Once we do see her, yipes. Thanks to a combination of CGI and a performance by the extremely thin, extremely tall Spanish actor Javier Botet, this is one frightful Mama. The real mother in the story is Annabel, who slowly sheds her tough- talking, who-gives-a-bleep exterior as her nurturing instincts take Buy now» over. It's worlds away from Chastain's Oscar-nominated turn in "Zero Dark Thirty" and further proof she's one of the finest actors of her generation. Some elements of "Mama," including the dream sequences, are reminiscent of Japanese horror films. There's also some dark and wicked humor, as when Lilly plays and giggles with an offscreen Mama while Annabel goes about household chores, oblivious to the insanity occurring just around the corner. Coster-Waldau is solid in Buy now» what turns out to be a supporting role, and Megan Charpentier and Isabelle Nelisse are terrific as the little girls. Movies like "Mama" are thrill rides. We go to be scared and then laugh, scared and then laugh, scared and then shocked. Of course, there's almost always a little plot left over for a sequel. It's a ride I'd take again.

  • The Calling: a John Luther Novel Free
    FREE THE CALLING: A JOHN LUTHER NOVEL PDF Neil Cross | 368 pages | 22 Mar 2012 | Simon & Schuster Ltd | 9780857203397 | English | London, United Kingdom The Calling eBook by Neil Cross | Official Publisher Page | Simon & Schuster UK Seeing The Calling: A John Luther Novel my reviews of Series 3 of Luther have garnered a good bit of attention, I thought I should round it off by plucking this off my shelves and reviewing it properly. His way of constructing the narrative relies heavily on imagery and painting the scene the way a screenwriter would instruct the camera to, which does interesting things for the cinema in your head. This novel details the beginning of the end for DCI John Luther — the case that very nearly breaks him, or The Calling: A John Luther Novel indeed broken him, perhaps. In The Callinghe crosses a line, the first time of many. In the pilot episode, Zoe tells John that the train in his head never stops. Shows us Zoe watching exactly this on the telly at home, knowing what her husband is going through at the same time as she makes a discovery of her own that will change their lives forever. I am trying not to spoil too much here. In the novel, we see Alice was correct. John calls Zoe just before cornering The Calling: A John Luther Novel for their final confrontation, and she knows. No blame is ever laid with Zoe — nor, strictly speaking, with Luther. Things happen. Luther going off the rails in Series 1 is something new, something separate from the swan song of the novel.

  • 196 It, Dir. by Andy Muschietti
    The Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies 16 (Autumn 2017) It, dir. by Andy Muschietti (Warner Bros., 2017) It probably goes without saying that we’re in the middle of an evil-clown zeitgeist. If the first decade of the new millennium was all about sparkly vampires, now the men in red noses are having their moment at the forefront of horror. This resurgence of the clown in popular culture may have gained momentum from Chris Nolan’s Batman grim-fest, The Dark Knight (2008), wherein the late Heath Ledger captivated audiences with his performance as the Joker, an enigmatic sociopath in flaking clown white. Notable entries from the horror genre in recent years include Captain Spaulding from Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses (2003) and The Devil’s Rejects (2005), as well as the gruesome Twisty the Clown from American Horror Story: Freak Show (2014). The latter half of 2016 even brought us alarming news of a real-life plague of clowns, reports pouring in from around the world of sinister costumed figures seen lurking at roadsides and near schools. The hysteria lasted until (as the old joke goes) the clowns’ leader got elected president, and they have all since gracefully retired back into the realm of fiction. Given the general hype, it was only a matter of time before the most famous creepy clown of them all would be given a reboot. It (2017) adapts Stephen King’s 1986 novel of the same name and follows the iconic 1990 miniseries starring Tim Curry. The film tells the story of a group of adolescent underdogs who name themselves ‘The Losers Club’; one of the club’s members, Bill (Jaeden Lieberher), is a thirteen-year-old boy with a debilitating stutter, mourning the disappearance of his little brother Georgie (Jackson Robert Scott).

Under rules that date back to the Great Depression, such investors must have at least $1 million in assets outside their homes or earn at least $200,000 a year. The new rule, approved last week in a 3-2 vote along party lines, would allow some small investors — including certain licensed Financial advisers, private equity employees and spouses oF accredited investors — to sidestep those requirements. The old “barrier” to becoming accredited “was intended to protect investors From downside risk,” but has “shut out all but the wealthiest From upside gains that private companies have made over the last several decades,” SEC Commissioner Elad Roisman said.
