Time: 98 mins.
Rating: PG-13
Genre: High School Comedy

SYNOPSIS: A high school wise guy is determined to have a day off from school, despite the attempts of his principal and younger sister to sabotage his good time.

BOTTOM LINE: Broderick reigns supreme as the king of slacker cool in Hughes' most blatantly fun teen comedy. Perhaps he's too good as the lovable loafer who makes the most of ditching school, as this role is the one that defined his burgeoning career. It's also a role that gave those of us on the high school fringe something to hope for. You see, Ferris is popular not because he has the most money or the fastest car. He's everybody's best friend because he's a friend to everybody. His irresistible charm comes from his inner self-confidence. Ferris could have been a cartoon character, but Broderick makes you believe that a teenager could actually BE happy with who they are. A rare and inspiring concept.

Running time: 60 minutes
Director: Jens Hoffmann
Genre: Documentary

"I don't want to die, I want to live. I'm pretty good at running away, and this is my escape." This is how Karina Hollekim describes her dedication to BASE jumping. Documentary filmmaker Jens Hoffman first met the now 30-year-old Norwegian in 2002. He immediately started to film, planning to follow Karina over a long period, trying to understand why a young woman would challenge herself mentally and physically in such an extreme sport. Jens accompanies her through many stages of her BASE-jumping career, until it comes to a sudden stop and changes all aspects of her life.

Wolverine
Length: 107 min
Rated: PG-13
Distributor: 20th Century Fox
Release Date: 2009-05-01
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Danny Huston, Dominic Monaghan, Ryan Reynolds, Lynn Collins, Will.i.Am

Directed by Gavin Hood
Produced by Lauren Shuler Donner, Ralph Winter, Hugh Jackman, John Palermo
Written by David Benioff and Skip Woods




The first big summer release of 2009 delivers big action, big special effects and big mutants. Unfortunately it doesn’t address some big questions. How are Wolverine and Sabertooth growing up as kids at the beginning of the film, but ageless after the first 20 minutes? How does adamantium change the shape and look of Wolverine’s claws? How many Twinkies did the Blob have to eat to get that big, that quick? And why, every time I say or hear ‘Wolverine”, do I think of Red Dawn. (Which I just learned is set to be remade next year.)


Look, the bottom line is this: if you love comic book movies, you’re going to love Wolverine. If you’re a comic book purist and pick apart every comic book movie, you’re going to be frustrated and complaining about the demise of the franchise. I loved the movie. I thought it was fun and had great pacing to the tension between story and action. It gives you just enough back story to make it worth telling. And it introduced some new (to the movie goer, not the comic reader) characters that were pretty awesome like the well played tough but mysterious Gambit (Taylor Kitsch, Friday Night Lights TV show), an interesting but too quickly disappearing Wraith (Will Am I of Black Eyed Peas band fame) and the makes-the-movie fun, wise-cracking Wade Wilson/Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds, Adventureland and Van Wilder). But overall it focuses on Wolverine (Hugh Jackman, X-Men 1,2 and 3, and Australia) and his brother/buddy/enemy Sabertooth (Liv Schreiber, Defiance). Here’s hoping that we get to see a future film with a lot more Gambit and Deadpool involved in the story. Wolverine and Sabertooth get top billing and do a great job carrying the movie. But Gambit and Deadpool give it the intrigue that gets a little lost as they focus on one hero.

An organization in the United States called The National Organization for Marriage has launched a $1.5 million dollar advertisement campaign to fight back against the "gathering storm" aka. Same sex marriage.

Actors in the ad, who are posing as Massachusetts parents, California doctors, and members of a New Jersey church group, have lines like, “the clouds are dark, the winds are strong, my freedom will be taken away and I’m afraid.”

It was released as the only loud protest anywhere in America to the news that same-sex marriage had been legalized in Iowa and Vermont.

Will it advance any message?
Is homophobic activism depopulated or isolated?
