 <title>Big Miracle, Inspirational</title>
 <link>http://www.azreporter.com/tt/index.php?id=1860</link>
<description><![CDATA[Loosely based on Thomas Rose's 1989 "Freeing the Whales: How the Media Created the World's Greatest Non-Event" about the real-life, Reagan-era rescue that riveted the nation's attention onto the tiny town of Barrow, Alaska, this family-friendly, feel-good story revolves around the plight of three gray whales trapped under a thickening slab of ice in the Beaufort Sea.]]></description>

 <title>MOVIE REVIEW, RETURN</title>
 <link>http://www.azreporter.com/tt/index.php?id=1859</link>
<description><![CDATA[The Wall Street occupiers grouse that one percent of the country owns forty percent of the wealth.  What's more, many if not most have acquired their fortunes by gambling in equities and real estate.  By contrast, one percent of Americans are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, earn a modest wage, and when they return they often find themselves unemployed.  Along with the rotten economy, perhaps some of the joblessness occurs because of physical handicaps that unlucky service people acquire, while in other cases, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder makes them unable to fit in with civilian life.  The ironic thing about PTSD is that the very wars that are responsible for this psychological ailment make some returning vets eager to rejoin, where their behavior would fit in more readily in combat situations then among the banalities of civilian life.  Kathryn Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker" deals primarily with the fighting, but notes that her principal character played by Jeremy Renner re-enlists after seeing that the most exciting thing happening to him in civilian life is looking at scores of brands of cereal in the local supermarket.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I'm hearing that the fish are practically jumping out of the water up near Lee's Ferry. Trout limits are being caught on an almost daily basis, so get moving before all the good action is gone. Beautiful scenery, good food at the local restaurants and top notch fishing, you sure can't beat a trip to the Vermillion Cliffs area!]]></description>

 <title>Man On A Ledge, Review</title>
 <link>http://www.azreporter.com/tt/index.php?id=1850</link>
<description><![CDATA[As an action-adventure movie, 'Man on a Ledge' succeeds only partly: by providing some tension when an ex-cop who has been convicted of the crime of stealing a $40 million diamond goes out on the ledge of New York's Roosevelt Hotel 25 stories in the air.  The trouble is that much of the action--particularly the busy goings-on across the street from which the title man on a ledge wants to distract the police--remains stable when it should be ratcheted up.  That's not all: the dialogue is as corny as Kansas in August, the young woman who serves as hostage negotiator has hair that always remains in place from the time she is awakened, there is only one newscaster providing visuals to the adventure in our city of eight million, and we find out early on that there is little chance that the man will plunge to his death.]]></description>

 <title>RAMPART, REVIEW</title>
 <link>http://www.azreporter.com/tt/index.php?id=1847</link>
<description><![CDATA[There's really only one reason to see "Rampart, " but it's a good enough one--and that's the awards-worthy performance of Woody Harrelson in the role of a dirty cop.  The L.A.-based police drama that may well have been inspired by the Rodney King affair is murky--a downer with a plot that is repetitive, spinning on in a circular way to put us firmly into the mind of the rogue cop, Dave Brown (Woody Harrelson) who is coming apart at the seams both on his  beat and within his strange family.  The major part of Bobby Bukowski's filming is dark and sometimes dizzying. The neighborhood is bleak and appears riddled with crime, which is all Dave Brown needs to know to release his macho style on everyone he meets.  He is so controlling that he even forces a rookie cop in the precinct to eat the fries that she orders, despite her insistence that she is watching her cholesterol.  (Never mind the burger that she downs, though the whole scene may be Woody Harrelson's sending up of his own raw-food shtick, having had a role in a DVD about reversing diabetes by eschewing the gas range: the end-credits list his personal nutritionist.)]]></description>

 <title>Gingrich-Freddie Mac Contract, No Big Deal</title>

<description><![CDATA[PHOENIX - Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, today has released a copy of the contract related to his firms work in 2006 with troubled mortgage giant Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) in response to inquiry by GOP opponent Mitt Romney.  In reality, the contract is no big deal and is most likely the reasoning for quick release of the document from the Gingrich camp as Romney scrambles to turn the medias attention from his failure to release his own tax returns.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Ironically on the day of the screening I attended, the Wall Street Journal noted that the most recent study of airline efficiency cited Alaska Airlines is a winner in many categories.  The folks taking a plane from their oil rig work site to Anchorage (actually filmed beautifully by Masanobu Takayangi) had the bad luck to crash. Still, there is no indication that they were taking Alaska Airlines particularly since it was filmed in the Canadian Rockies around Vancouver.]]></description>
