  • LOVE BIRDS (102 Min) Directed by Paul Murphy Starring Rhys Darby, Sally Hawkins, Emily Barclay
    REVIEW: THE LOVE BIRDS (102 min) Directed by Paul Murphy Starring Rhys Darby, Sally Hawkins, Emily Barclay After playing wingman to Flight of the Conchords and salesman for many others (as well as appearances in Jim Carrey's Yes Man and Brit comedy The Boat That Rocked), Rhys Darby finally gets a film to call his own. While his post-Murray screen career has largely depended on his FOTC role or his manic stand-up persona, here, he's the straight guy in a very straight movie. Though the film gives him a lame, if very cute, duck as a sidekick, chirpy goofy English actress Sally Hawkins as a love interest and a Queen soundtrack which does threaten to turn this into We Will Rock You: The Movie. But the songs generate some of the biggest laughs in what is an endearingly funny, if sugar-coated local romantic comedy. And one which seems to have a surfeit of supporting characters, and a weak opening among its flaws. Oh and some intrusive product placement. It is a very nice advertisement for Auckland too, though it might be best to see it outside the city where your fellow cinema patrons aren't cooing "'oooh look Northcote" to each other. And in one memorable scene it puts a fine case for a cycle lane on the harbour bridge. With his various comic foils, web-footed and otherwise, it allows Darby to restrain himself and carry the film as its romantic lead, one who doesn't have much in common with Hugh Grant, as has been the film's sales pitch, but whoe resembles a distant cousin to Hugh Jackman.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

Sponsored by The Valley Advocate, 93.9 The River, WGBY TV57 and JR Lyman Co. About the Program "The American Beauty Project" is a special tribute concert to the Grateful Dead's most important and best-loved albums, Working Man's Dead and American Beauty. In January 2007, an all-star lineup of musicians that Relix magazine called "a dream team of performers" gave the premier of this concert in front of an over-flowing crowd at the World Financial Center's Winter Garden in New York City. The New York Times' Jon Pareles wrote that the concert gave "New life to a Dead classic... and mirrored the eclecticism of the Dead," and a Variety review said that the event brought "a back- porch feel to the canyons of Gotham's financial district. The perf's real fire came courtesy of acts that like to tear open the original structures of the source material and reassemble the parts afresh - an approach well-suited to the honorees' legacy." Now, a select group of those performers, including Ollabelle, Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams, Catherine Russell, and Jim Lauderdale are taking the show on the road.

  • Stories from the Road... and the Real World, Too
    David Gans: Stories from the Road... and the Real World, Too It somehow seems appropriate that "Shove in the Right Direction," the first track on David Gans' wonderful new CD, The Ones That Look the Weirdest Taste the Best, kicks right in with a hot in- strumental jam, with careening fiddle, clucking banjo, bopping mandolin, driving acoustic guitar, thumping bass and cracking drums, all locked in and dancing together. "Shove in the Right Di- rection" is a tale of uncertainly and perseverance in strange times that sounds like it could have been plucked from this morning's paper. For although during the past several years David has es- tablished himself as the consummate troubadour, traveling the country solo with just an electro- acoustic guitar and a few gadgets, he's always been an amazingly sympathetic ensemble player. So there's something about this new music that just feels right. Out of the gate, track one an- nounces that this disc is going to show us a different side of David Gans. Some of the songs may be ones you’ve seen him perform solo in your local club or at one of the many summer and fall music festivals that have become part of his touring regimen, but chances are you’ve never heard them played like this. After releasing a series of fine solo recordings the last several years, for this outing David has surrounded himself with a helluva group of great players. The extremely versatile core band is 4/6 of the adventurous jamgrass unit Railroad Earth—violinist/harmonica player Tim Carbone (who also produced the CD), mandolinist and pianist John Skehan III, multi-instrumentalist Andy Goessling, and bassist Johnny Grubb—who also perform together in a side group called the Shockenaw Mountain Boys.
