at the end of the day , the reason i made end of watch is because of the trend where you see our servicemen and women in uniform at the airport and you go up and shake their hand and say “hey , thank you for your service . ” maybe now somebody will start doing that to the police officers who go into harm’s way on our behalf .
no doubt , these twin saviours are a likeable tandem , and they bear their cross lightly . still , end of watch suffers from no end of sanctimony . sainthood is all well and fine but it ain ' t drama and , on screen at least , the question cries out : where ' s a corrupt cop when you need him ?
at its core ,
end of watch
is about the camaraderie taylor and zavala share as they patrol the gang - riddled newton division just south of downtown los angeles , searching , as taylor says , for
dope , money and guns .

end of watch begins with a flashback to the april 2009 mercedes killings at the city center . the memories are those of rob martin and jason raspis , the ambulance crew first on the scene of the tragedy . they were in charge of transporting martine stover , one of the most severely injured of the victims , to the hospital . martine survived but was paralyzed from the chest down .
from the perch of a police cruiser dashboard , the camera captures the cops as they tear after the bad guys through the streets of los angeles - engines roaring , tires screeching , sharp turns taken at nutcase speed - in the breathless , killer intro to the riveting

winner of the week : end of watch . at this writing , end of watch is actually tied with house at the end of the street , with both movies claiming $ 13 million debuts in early sunday estimates , while trouble with the curve is just a nose behind with an estimated $ 12 . 7 million opening . by the time final numbers are in on monday , any one of these three could be the box office champ . still , just for finishing in such rarefied company , end of watch deserves the most credit . the found - footage cop drama has a restrictive r rating , limited star power ( sorry , jake gyllenhaal , but you’re no clint eastwood or even jennifer lawrence ) and a distributor ( open road films ) that’s only put out one previous $ 10 - million - plus opener ( january’s the grey ) . as a result , watch was expected to open only at around $ 9 to $ 11 million . so it’s this week’s winner just for outperforming its modest expectations .

was based on the experiences of captain jamie fitzsimons , a former lapd patrol officer who worked south los angeles neighborhoods in the 1990s . this is the primary reason the movie rings true with an authentic approach to police work .
along with the note on mass production , the economic daily report notes that the next - gen apple watch is scheduled to launch sometime in the forth quarter of 2017 . apple may unveil the third - generation model at its upcoming iphone event with a launch sometime afterwards , or it may decide to hold another event at the end of the year that includes the apple watch series 3 .
the new apple watch is expected to ship with both 38mm and 42mm models and look similar to current apple watch models , but will also feature an lte option in order to facilitate a measure of wireless connectivity without needing to rely on a paired iphone .
according to a press release , end of watch sees the return of brady hartsfield , the perpetrator of the mercedes massacre from mr . mercedes . retired police detective bill hodges gets involved in a case with ties to hartsfield , who , while in a vegetative state for the past five years , is now in possession of new deadly powers .
end of watch is a true indie . while you might think actors like gyllenhaal and pena playing the leads means the movie is being produced by a major studio , but that’s not the case instead , former paramount head john lesher ( who produced films such as no country for old men , there will be blood and babel ) has started his own label and this is the first film under its umbrella . end of watch was financed by exclusive media group , the same folks who produced george clooney’s the ides of march .

praise for end of watch “king has dealt before with this novel’s different themes—endowment with dangerous supernatural powers , the zombifying effect of modern consumer electronics—but he finds fresh approaches to them and inventive ways to introduce them in the lives of his recurring cast of sympathetic characters , whose pains and triumphs the reader feels . king’s legion of fans will find this splice of mystery and horror a fitting finale to his bill hodges trilogy . ”
end of watch re - unites us with bill , holly and jerome , the dynamic trio first introduced in the excellent mr mercedes . once again , they battle with brady hartsfield , the infamous mercedes murderer . although in a seemingly irreversible vegetative state , bill is convinced that brady is not quite as helpless as everyone thinks . when there is an outbreak of mysterious suicides and attempted suicides , bill , holly and jerome race to prevent any more from happening and prove the improbable notion that brady is somehow involved . i really enjoyed end of watch ! king proves once again that he is a master storyteller who fits into no genre but his own . dark humour pervades this novel but there is also great emotional depth with some genuinely touching scenes . end of watch is a fitting finale to an excellent trilogy . i am sorry to see it end but i am looking forward the next book in king’s eclectic repertoire .

and while end of watch has its own genre spin ( the police are the good guys , not the dirty dis of harsh times and training day ) , it is these scenes behind the wheel , before the film spins off into its plot proper , that mean end of watch stands out so brightly in a lineup of cop movies .

for the record :
end of watch
: an article about director david ayer in the sept . 20 calendar section said that his new movie
end of watch
was a $ 15 - million production . however , open road films , which is releasing
end of watch
in the u . s . and canada , says the actual cost of the film was $ 7 . 5 million . dressed in a crisp , loose - fitting white t - shirt , jeans and sneakers , with a neatly trimmed goatee and a grown - out buzz cut , ayer looked and sounded like he could have stepped out of one of his own movies . his greeting to a reporter :
what ' s up , big dog ?
the streets of south - central los angeles that serve as the backdrop for the new police drama
end of watch
are familiar turf for writer - director david ayer . he grew up in the neighborhood , and over the last decade the 43 - year - old filmmaker has specialized in telling gritty southland cop tales .
late at night on august 25 , 2011 i got to visit the set of end of watch . unlike most set visits which have 8 to 10 reporters , i was the only invited journalist , and i got to spend a number of hours talking with the filmmakers , jake gyllenhaal and michael pena , as well as producer john lesher . while i wasn’t sure what to expect going in , i learned that end of watch is going to look and feel completely different than any cop movie you’ve ever seen and i left excited by what i saw . hit the jump for a lot more – including the first two official images from the movie .
we recently got the chance to chat with writer - director david ayer about his police drama end of watch , which is now out on blu - ray and dvd . the acclaimed film stars jake gyllenhaal and michael pena as a pair of young patrolmen whose experiences on the gang - ridden streets of los angeles are realized for the viewer via a faux documentary approach .
it’s a wonder the actors do good work here , since in the more pensive scenes ayer shoots them in microcosmic closeup ; by the end of the film you will know gyllenhaal’s face — the mole above his lip , every freckle and wen — better than your own mirrored image . yet he and peña , and kendrick and martinez , not only get to show off their perfect teeth , they manage to burrow into their characters , to find behavioral nuances under the haloes . granted , any decision a good man makes has greater impact when his life could end with the turn of a doorknob . but the performances here are so sharp that viewers may wish end of watch has been shot by someone who knew how to find the right point of view for a scene and leave it there — say , the anonymous auteur who shot mitt romney’s “47 percent” speech with an utterly stationary camera . that deadpan exposé , not end of watch , is the most enthralling movie of the week .

apart from ayer ' s previous work , and from a long line of genre siblings including

end of watch opened in the same range as gyllenhaal’s last vehicle , 2011’s source code , which bowed with $ 14 . 8 million , but it started higher than the effort before that , romantic dramedy love and other drugs , which debuted with $ 9 . 7 million in 2010 . though gyllenhaal’s star burns brightly in hollywood , the oft - bearded actor has never truly proven his drawing power at the box office . still , thanks to strong word of mouth , end of watch , which audiences issued an “a - ” cinemascore grade , may prove to be an under - the - radar box office winner for the star .

end of watch , which arrives in theaters friday , features one of the most fully - fleshed depictions of male friendship ever committed to the screen . tough yet tender , this cop - car partnership careens between wise - assery and earnest outpourings of “i’m there for you , bro” solidarity , battlefield camaraderie , and bursts of unsolicited tough - love—even a kind of “how gay is this ? ” hetero self - awareness—rising above the numbskull bro - downs typically showcased at the multiplex and somehow avoiding schmaltzy false sentimentality .

as the bill hodges trilogy comes to an end , stephen king fans lament the conclusion of something that has taken on a mind of its own , while being pleased with the calibre of the final novel . the reader gathers the shards of literary glass king left with the end of the previous book , as bill hodges is called to the scene of an apparent murder - suicide , a favour by his former partner . what brings hodges and his partner , holly gibney , rushing to the house is that one of the two bodies belongs to tha

producer sinclair continued “end of watch has been one of the most rewarding films i have ever worked on . it connects emotionally with audiences in a very special and unique way and , alongside my fellow producers david ayer , john lesher and matt jackson , and distribution partner open road , could not be prouder to have brought this film to the big screen . ”

unlike many of the current crop of macho cop dramas , end of watch plays mainly to the grit of the daily challenges of patrolling the mean streets of south central la in the
shootin ' newton
division . unlike the stunning la confidential , with a historical story line , end of watch is done in the cinema ver ' ite ' style - in a realistic real cops on duty in the la war zone frame . the casting in this movie is picture perfect , with each actor giving in depth performances . the story line brings the mexican / us drug problem into crystal clarity . initially , the story fails to coalesce , and the video cam work is a bit disjointed and over done at the outset , but once you settle in to cinematic method , the film gets a hold on you . definitely a movie for any law enforcement aficionados collection .
los angeles , ca , november 30 , 2012 – end of watch — the hit film starring jake gyllenhaal and michael peña , written and directed by david ayer , which opened to number one at the box office in september 2012 — will return to theaters nationwide on december 7 , 2012 . the announcement was made today by tom ortenberg , ceo of open road films .

what self - respecting director would enlist – nay , entrust – his actors to film their own scenes ? such an idea calls up memories of the nausea - inducing blair witch project . but in seeking a bit of a technological shakeup , david ayer , writer and director of police drama end of watch in theaters sept . 21 , strapped cameras to his two main stars and let them guide the story , about the los angeles police department , through their own eyes and movements as they patrol a particularly seedy section of the city of angels .
ayer : it’s shot a little more traditionally , but it’s not conventional coverage . with every movie , you learn . ten is my fourth movie , so i’m bringing all of my experience to the table . i had a great crew around me , and a lot of the same people from end of watch . it just becomes more focused on making the movie and less about trying to figure out what your job is .
after spending so much time together , the two actors have an easy rapport , finishing each others’ sentences , performing convincing imitations of one another and chuckling together at their in - jokes . in end of watch , their dialog is spiced with a seemingly endless stream of “bros” and “dudes . ” and unsurprisingly , gyllenhaal and peña are extremely partial to using the b and the d words for emphasis in conversation . particularly peña .
the gritty and intense crime drama end of watch , available on dvd / blu - ray on january 22 nd , tells the story of lapd officers brian taylor ( jake gyllenhaal ) and mike zavala ( michael peña ) , who patrol the mean streets of south central los angeles . shot documentary - style , the action unfolds through footage from the handheld hd cameras of the police officers , gang members , surveillance cameras and citizens caught in the line of fire to illustrate how cops risk their lives , every day .
eventually , the main plotline kicks in , although we soon realize aspects of it have been present all along . the final 30 minutes are taut and suspenseful and the viewer shouldn ' t make the mistake of believing events are going to follow a predetermined cop movie path . end of watch isn ' t afraid of venturing into dark territory , although the way in which ayer chooses to conclude the film , with a much - needed
lighter moment ,
is welcome .
the film will always follow the point of view of gyllenhaal and pena’s characters . we’ll never leave one of them during the movie .
f ew of king ' s myriad terrors feel as visceral and close to home as the sense of human mortality that looms over his new book , end of watch … an undeniable page - turner … throughout his tale , king nimbly pulls together numerous plot threads and characters…and for good measure throws in a final nail - biting chase through a blizzard . one finishes this novel feeling great empathy for its resolute protagonist , and even greater trepidation about that next round of candy crush . ”
“f ew of king ' s myriad terrors feel as visceral and close to home as the sense of human mortality that looms over his new book , end of watch … an undeniable page - turner … throughout his tale , king nimbly pulls together numerous plot threads and characters…and for good measure throws in a final nail - biting chase through a blizzard . one finishes this novel feeling great empathy for its resolute protagonist , and even greater trepidation about that next round of candy crush . ”
all in all , this movie was ok . it ' s not the end of all movies as we know it , and it ' s not the movie that pierces the heavens either .
like a knife in the eye , “end of watch” cuts past the cliches of standard police procedurals , serving instead as a visceral ride - along with two thrill - seeking cops ( jake gyllenhaal and michael pena , both terrific ) covertly documenting their beat in south central l . a . faux - found - footage approach already feels a little dated , but amplifies the authenticity in what [ … ]
for a while , end of watch progresses almost like an r - rated episode of adam 12 . it ' s very much a
day in the life of
story , detailing the easy conversation that transpires in a squad car between calls and showing the dangers faced by cops even in seemingly unthreatening situations . there are times when the first - person approach works to emphasize intimacy . on other occasions , such as a fire rescue , it reduces everything into a muddle of confusion .
a laconic character , hodges has been easy company over the course of “mr . mercedes” and “finders keepers . ” maintaining a tight structure , king uses “end of watch” to loop back to hodges’ handling of the explosive episode that started off the trilogy — brady’s decision to plow his car into a line of people waiting at a job fair , killing eight of them and severely injuring almost twice as many . supposedly rendered comatose after his first game of wits with hodges , brady continued to preoccupy the detective in “finders keepers . ” and now he may be responsible for more deaths .
end of watch follows two young los angeles police officers taylor and zavala as they patrol the mean streets of south central los angeles . giving the story a gripping , first - person immediacy , the action unfolds through footage from the handheld hd cameras of the police officers , gang members , surveillance cameras , and citizens caught in the line of fire to create a riveting portrait of the city ' s most dangerous corners , the cops who risk their lives there every day , and the price they and their families are forced to pay .
such fraternity is also potentially concerning . end of watch is a terrific film , and , to be fair , our heroes do happen upon some remarkably grisly finds on even the most innocuous housecall , but it will also function as a persuasive recruitment video . did gyllenhaal ever worry being embedded with the lapd might just mean they were in bed with them ?
their characters certainly function in lock - step , uncovering the sordid dealings of a ruthless mexican drug cartel—gun - running , human trafficking , money laundering , etc . —only to unleash the gang’s institutional wrath upon themselves . but end of watch ’s pulse - quickening action ultimately serves a larger purpose : to bracket the characters’ brotherly love , providing a testing ground for their loyalty , resolve and willingness to go down in the line of duty for one another .

universal studios home entertainment topped both national home video sales charts the week ending jan . 27 with end of watch , a $ 41 million - grossing cop drama , shot documentary style , that hit the big screen late last summer and stars jake gyllenhaal and michael pena as two young police officers , partners as well as friends , who grow up fast on the crime - filled streets of l . a .
this is just another example of the most lavishly funded media organisation in the country destroying its competition . this is particularly the case in regional areas with small populations which can ' t support a diversity of media , so only the state media survives . the abc is bit by bit ruining its competitors . it ' s ironic that media watch decries the loss of jobs for journalists when the abc is one of the major causes of the losses in this country . time media watch did a story on this , but i won ' t be holding my breath .
since end of watch just wrapped principal photography and it doesn’t yet have a release date ( it will be in 2012 ) or domestic distributor , i’m going to hold my on - set interviews and my full set report until a later date . however , to go along with the first two images of the film , i’m offering the “20 things to know” about the film . but first , here’s the official synopsis :
as the movie opens , taylor is filming a video documentary about his job , for a film class he ' s taking .
end of watch
begins with his narration about the nature of his job . all through the movie , jake gyllenhaal reveals a presence and stability that ' s in contrast to the lighter - weight , ingratiating characters he often plays . michael pena gives one of the performances of his career as the other cop , and the reality of their relationship underscores the whole film . we wouldn ' t believe some of the things they do if we didn ' t believe who they are .
book arrived quickly & in good condition . excellent trilogy , well worth reading all 3 books on order . not often a book makes me she ' d a tear but the end of this one did .
end of watch is the final book in the bill hodges trilogy by stephen king . in this installment the story comes full circle back to brady hartsfield , the infamous mercedes killer that drove a mercedes into a crowd of job seekers one horrific morning killing eight and injuring countless others . brady has spent the last several years in traumatic brain injury clinic courtesy of bill hodges and holly gibney . our retired detective bill hodges has now been working along with his partner , holly gibney ,
“some people can’t get beyond the genre of a film but to us , it was always about this relationship , ” gyllenhaal told the daily beast in an interview at the toronto international film festival , where end of watch premiered earlier this month . he recalled an early edict from writer - director david ayer ( training day , street kings ) that would govern his and peña’s performances : “you two are going to be brothers . ”
sad to see the series come to an end . i did enjoy king ' s foray into the world of crime / detective drama . i would not mind if he does more with it in the future .
david ayer ‘s end of watch was a surprisingly solid flick even though it was burdened by an unnecessary found - footage device . however , when it was released in september , it seemed to be a film that found moderate success ( it tied for first at the box office on its opening weekend ) , and then quietly slipped away . surprisingly , the film might now be in the awards hunt after it picked up independent spirit award nominations for best supporting actor ( michael peña ) and best cinematography ( roman vasyanov ) . jake gyllenhaal recently did an interview with hitfix’s in contention blog , and now open road has announced that they’re sending end of watch back into theaters on december 7th . it’s not a bad move since the only competition it will face is playing for keeps .

i was running this conversation through my memory while watching “hell night . ” you know a movie is in trouble when what is happening on the screen inspires daydreams . i had lasted through the first reel , and nothing had happened . now i was somewhere in the middle of the third reel , and still nothing had happened . by
nothing ,
by the way , i mean nothing original , unexpected , well - crafted , interestingly acted , or even excitingly violent . “hell night” is a relentlessly lackluster example of the dead teenager movie . the formula is always the same . a group of kids get together for some kind of adventure or forbidden ritual in a haunted house , summer camp , old school , etc . one of the kids tells a story about the horrible and gruesome murders that happened there years ago . he always ends the same way :
, and they say the killer never died and is still lurking here somewhere .
that was the formula of “the burning” and the “friday the 13th” movies , and it ' s the formula again in “hell night . ”

hell night
boasts nice photography and loads of creepy atmosphere ( it was filmed in and around a genuine gothic mansion ) , it contains a few decent scares , and it features a pretty freaky looking deformed killer that in my estimation would on sight cause the average person to shit their pants in real life . on top of all that , well ,

and so a cultish curiosity was born . hell night became a rite of passage , like your first trip to newbury comics as a teenager . did you get in ? you ate what ? was your stomach ever the same ? the fiery faithful became known as chile - heads . the motto , spelled out on the bottom of the menu : “no wimps . absolutely no substitutions . ”

for now hell night intends to keep working at its own pace , which is paradoxically laid - back and breakneck at the same time . songwriting , recording and the sound of the music itself all carry a sense of immediacy , but there is no rush to find a label , no plans to tour eight months out of the year ( as fair had grown accustomed to in the past ) . the youngest member of hell night , drummer adam arseneau , is 33 . bassist eric eyster is the oldest ; fair and white estimate his age at 117 ( he ' s actually 47 ) . with full - time jobs and families , the band ' s members have set their goals on something ultimately far more important than industry success : having fun and playing music they love .
“rough night , ” a bachelorette - party - from - hell thriller comedy that’s got some push and some laughs , despite its essentially formulaic nature , is a perfect example of why hollywood needs ( many ) more women filmmakers . do we want to see more women directors who have the scalding audacity of a kathryn bigelow , or who can turn a tent - pole origin story [ … ]
fair , meanwhile , opted to spend his time skateboarding , a passion since he was eight years old ( surprisingly , he ' s only run over his own hair in the process once ) . it was through skateboarding that fair first met hell night guitarist and founding member andy white . when the band ' s former vocalist mike craft left suddenly in early 2016 , fair hopped on board .

brian fair , vocalist of the rising st . louis punk / metal act hell night , has the most impressive set of dreadlocks you will ever see , anywhere . they flow from the top of his head to the tips of his shoes , 72 inches of hair that he uses to great effect on stage , whipping the snake - like tendrils to and fro like a human cat o ' nine tails .
there are no focus groups in hell night ,
white adds with a laugh .
some things are sort of calculated , but it ' s very casual , man . i ' ve been in bands before where i feel like everything is too overthought , so if something was taking us , like , four practices to write it , i would be like , ' something ' s wrong . '

he was meant to have his sons at home last night , but had arranged for them to stay elsewhere , as he ' d seen the thick smoke plumes billowing on his way home from nambour earlier friday afternoon .
loud metal music remains a lackluster inducer of labor , apparently ; white ' s wife will make it through the night with the baby still on board . which is good , because white has enough to worry about with tonight ' s release party performance . the band ' s new four - song ep , hell night songs , is a quick - and - dirty ripper of an offering that follows closely on the heels of the band ' s december ep human shelves . its title is an homage to cinderella ' s 1986 lp night songs ; the band even covered that album ' s title track as its opener . the three original tracks are characteristically thick and heavy , filled with rock riffs pushed through a hardcore / metal filter that compel daydreams about chainsaws . ( or maybe weed whackers ? ) the entire ep was recorded in just one day in february by gabe usery at encapsulated studios .

some tesla employees will likely buckle under the production - hell pressure , although musk himself is unusually committed to help in these hardcore situations . with the model x , musk famously slept in a sleeping bag on the production line of the factory until the manufacturing issues were worked out .
life inside jail : hell on earth ( itv ) also stressed the importance of family . locked up in the women’s section of new york state’s albany jail were numerous mothers , depending on their own parents to look after their children , eating themselves up with guilt over the separation .
a note about our new 4k scan : we did an extensive search for the original film elements , but were unable to locate them . therefore , this new transfer comes from a 4k scan of the best surviving archival 35mm film print of hell night . we did extensive color correction and film restoration to clean up any film damage . because the print was missing some minor footage , so we have inserted a small amount of standard definition footage to deliver the complete film . we hope you enjoy this new restoration of this ‘80s horror classic .

hell night throws you into its story in a hurry , telling you almost nothing for a long time . after the opening cut scene you’re tossed into a series of meandering hallways without anything in the way of instructions . you’ll have someone with you to talk with , but she doesn’t really have many interesting things to say so i didn’t speak with her for long . instead , i set about exploring the corridors trying to figure out where i could possibly be . i wasn’t given a whole lot of time to look before the monster showed up .
hell had lost some of its fire and when liverpool faced galatasaray some years later their fans carried a banner which drew on some of their experiences of the grafton , described by those in the know as one of merseyside ' s
low - budget , grab - a - granny nightclub .
trey edward shults’ post - apocalyptic thriller it comes at night seems designed to start conversations about man’s essential nature , the limits of tribalism , and the relative merits of becoming a doomsday prepper . for a considered and adult discussion of the movie , please read dana stevens’ review .
“we engineered it [ the model 3 ] to be a lot easier to build , ” said musk at the friday night party .
we’ve got the part count down , made it light , and made it affordable ,
explained musk during his presentation at the party .
walsh and bad company will alternate headlining duties each night , while british singer - songwriter steve rodgers will open with an acoustic set . the trek kicks off may 9th at the gexa energy pavilion in dallas and wraps july 3rd at the carl black chevy woods amphitheater at fontanel in nashville .
shakespeare mixes twelfth night with a potpourri of ingredients to achieve his comic effect—a set of twins , some situation comedy , a dash of dramatic irony , a goodly dollop of romance , three boisterous merrymakers , and a puritanical sourpuss . following is an explanation of how shakespeare uses these ingredients :
i have now of course , given away the plot of “hell night . ” as the fraternity and sorority kids creep through passageways of the old house , their candle flames fluttering in the wind , andrew the gork picks them off , one by one , in scenes of bloody detail . finally only linda blair is left . why does she survive ? maybe because she ' s a battle - hardened veteran , having previously more or less lived through “ the exorcist , ” “exorcist ii : the heretic , ” and “born innocent . ” at least in those movies , something happened in the first reel .
yes . so there’s a whole other version of the ending that i have . it’s a final nightmare , basically , and these nightmares throughout are supposed to put you closer to what is going on inside travis’ head and what he’s battling in his subconscious and get you closer to him , beyond just being scary or whatever . and there was a final one that was basically travis’ reality has become a nightmare , so it’s all just a nightmare , and it was like a sort of dying fever dream where he confronts everything and it’s like his personal hell . and his hell is his house and his parents and facing what they’ve done .
this may be sounding a bit like scp - 087 , but there is a key difference . while the movement speed of the creature in both scp - 087 games is steady , it still moves at an almost lazy speed . the creature would advance on me like something out of an 80’s horror movie , slow but determined . i thought the creatures in hell night would be the same after sneaking up on one of them and watching it move for a while . i was almost smug the next time i ran into one , a feeling i only maintained until the creature ran toward me at a staggering speed .
5 . nothing is at stake . on masterchef australia the winner gets $ 250 , 000 . but the winner of hell’s kitchen gets a mere $ 50 , 000 for their favourite charity . that sort of figure just doesn’t cut it in 2017 . contestants can win 20 times that much in a single episode of hot seat .
at the back of tesla’s fremont , calif . factory last friday night - - surrounded by thousands of tesla employees and under the spotlight of cameras and a video live stream - - musk showed off the first 30 of the company’s new model 3 electric cars , awaiting pickup by customers , including many employees .
deceit drives the plot of twelfth night , causing many mix - ups and much mischief before the curtain falls on the final act . ironically , the most likable and upright character in the play , viola , is also the chief dissembler . she foreshadows her own deceitful behavior when she tells a ship captain ,
“ rough night , ” a bachelorette - party - from - hell thriller comedy that’s got some push and some laughs , despite its essentially formulaic nature , is a perfect example of why hollywood needs ( many ) more women filmmakers . do we want to see more women directors who have the scalding audacity of a kathryn bigelow , or who can turn a tent - pole origin story like “wonder woman” into a cultural event the way patty jenkins did ? duh and duh . that said , we also need more women to direct the mor entertainment of the week . in the case of a goofy - nasty bad - behavior farce like “ rough night , ” directed and co - written by lucia aniello , what’s novel isn’t so much the plot as the spin , the female gaze , the inside - the - club sensibility . that , for all the cookie - cutter elements , is what’s fresh about the movie , and why it should find a solid audience .
they were literally , they were trying to turn up the low end and see if they could shake the baby out of there ,
fair says .
we just went and saw them the other night with anthrax here , and they were like , ' man , we tried so hard . '
it’s smart , and necessary , for tesla to do everything it can to make its employees happy during this “production hell” crunchtime . under musk ' s leadership , the car company is notorious for pushing its employees to the limits to reach audacious goals . executive turnover at times has been high , and workers have reportedly suffered due to aggressive timelines .
entering / exiting the barracks : you probably won ' t get to play this game until a little later in the day . at some point during this first day , in - processing will be complete , and it will be time to retire to the barracks to unpack and enjoy a good night ' s sleep .
originally written as a musical , bat out of hell went on to become one of the most iconic and successful albums of all time . 40 years later , this critically acclaimed , smash hit ' brings the theatre and its audience thrillingly alive ' ( the stage ) with its jaw - dropping , boundary pushing spectacle and jim steinman and meat loafs legendary hits .
before being able to join alpha sigma rho fraternity and its sister sorority , four pledges must spend the night in garth manor , twelve years to the day after the previous resident murdered his entire family . some , however , say that one member of the garth family survived , and still resides somewhere in the now - deserted mansion .
filming hell night took only 40 days . the majority of the movie was shot in three locations : the outside of garth manor was shot at a mansion in redlands , california . ( the kimberly crest mansion was converted from a private residence to a museum shortly after filming was completed . ) the hedge maze was brought in as there was no actual garden maze on the mansion property . the inside of garth manor was filmed in a residential home in pasadena , california . the frat party was filmed in an apartment lobby in los angeles , california . the many underground tunnels filmed in the movie were actually no more than two corridors in which the director had the actors running repeatedly through from different angles .
spoiler alert : do not read on unless you’ve seen season 7 , episode 3 of “american horror story , ” titled “neighbors from hell , ” which aired on sept . 19 . the isolation of ally ( sarah paulson ) is in full swing . after she shot and killed her former employee pedro at the end of the last episode , her neighbors and [ … ]
calleigh zeroes in on a suspect : donny ' s girlfriend kelly , who was with him the night of miranda ' s murder . she wanted the trial ended so that she didn ' t have to testify and jeopardize her engagement to her wealthy finace . her handwriting isn ' t a match for the killer ' s note , either .
that could be part of the motivation behind why the gathering on friday night was so focused on the employees . employee customers got the first cars , and thousands of employees surrounded musk on stage . some new tesla faces - - including tesla designers , engineers and factory - line workers - - were given an opportunity to address the audience .
elon musk marked an important moment for his electric vehicle company tesla on friday night . in a move that symbolized the first step in tesla’s shift from a luxury car maker to a mass market one , musk handed the keys to his first ever mainstream car , the model 3 , to 30 people at the company’s factory in fremont , calif .
everything seemed as if it was allowed to be attacked . they let the supporters in at the airport with all the ' welcome to hell ' banners . they could only have come in with the police ' s say - so . it was all about taking a team out of its comfort zone and , if you have done that , then you have won half the battle .
the match itself was the least memorable part of the whole story , a goalless draw that in roy keane ' s eyes saw galatasaray
pull every stroke in the book , diving , time - wasting , badgering the referee ,
to obtain the result that would eliminate united on the away - goals rule . then , in keane ' s words :
all hell broke loose
.
somehow i think media watch will be mentioned in this weeks micallef show for mentioning mad as hell being mentioned on the news and being called out by mr . barry so there is a reason to parody the abc being upset with paul barry which will make other people upset and then that can be a real news item for the abc to broadcast and then everyone gets more air time , aaaahhhhh
hotel claims a 4 star rating when in reality is no more than a 2 star . furniture old , outdated and falling apart , small bath / shower room . tv very old fashioned . also the hotel was full of students running riot throughout the night as there is a disco across from the hotel with opening hours 21 . 00 - 05 . 00 .
the climax of twelfth night occurs when viola and sebastian reunite and their true identities become known to everyone . their reunion sets up the conclusion ( or denouement ) , in which preparations are made for the marriage of viola to orsino and sebastian to olivia . the conclusion also explains how the plotters against malvolio carried out the prank that caused him to appear insane .
ninety - nine percent of the people who see “rough night” will have no idea that it lifts its premise , and much of its flavor , from an edgy and overlooked 1998 movie called “ very bad things , ” which starred christian slater and was peter berg’s first film as a director . it was about a group of guys who accidentally kill a prostitute during a bachelor party in vegas ; what they do to hide the disaster is hideous but — as berg staged it — creepily plausible , and the film , though it never caught on , had a queasy power as a foray into the dark side of the male psyche . “rough night” is a lighter entertainment . it’s “very bad things” with the sexes reversed , but also with a harmless synthetic dollop of the “hangover” films , a replay of the best - friend - of - the - bride jealousy drama of “bridesmaids , ” plus a touch of “weekend at bernie’s . ” it’s all been mashed together in the comedy compactor , yet the best thing about “rough night” is the feisty , claws - out spontaneity of its competitive banter between “sisters” who love and hate each other .
the music is important because the graphics look really dated . unlike the snes era , i find ps1 games just look awful when i see them these days , and beyond a couple of places hell night just doesn’t look that good . its worst offense is that the monster just seems kind of goofy looking up close . he looks like a robot out of an anime , and that took away some of the fear i might have felt otherwise . the locations also just look a lot like the hallways from every early first - person shooter . you probably know them well if you’ve ever played wolfenstein 3d or doom . there’s just lots of nonsense hallways that don’t serve any purpose or have any reason to them . they work as a playground to dodge around a monster , but they’re pretty uninspired and dull .
like a bat out of hell , jim steinman ' s new musical has soared in its world premiere west end season at the london coliseum , opening to a rip - roaring rapturous rock reception ! but it ' s a show which is . . . well , slightly hard to describe . . . so we tried our best to , with the help of the cast , creatives and guests ! more information and tickets : urltoken
the late show host was right : he , along with most of his american viewers , had very little clue about what they were about to witness with the musical segment of last night’s show . but then again , there isn’t much that you can say about babymetal prior to laying eyes upon their unique stage show for the very first time , for seeing really is believing . twitter user katsuki baekugo called it :
we are here to have the other conversation . what the hell actually happens in this movie ? filmgoers are likely to leave with completely different interpretations of the disturbing final sequence and the many other ambiguous scenes that come before . at 28 , writer - director shults has made a staggeringly well - crafted movie that is also structured to leave open many questions about its plot . he agreed , with good humor , to talk over some of our theories , spoilers and all .
hell night is a very underrated horror film . it was no doubt lost within the slasher craze of the 80 ' s , which is really a shame . what starts out as another seemingly cliche dead teenager movie turns into a great mix of monster movie and slasher movie that focuses on atmosphere and tension rather than gore . sure , it ' s got it ' s share of cheesiness throughout , but it ' s actually pretty well acted for the most part . add to that some nice cinematography and a serious , creepy atmosphere and you have a good horror film . there ' s also a slight twist toward the end and a very satisfying end to the killer . overall , it ' s a great little horrror movie that doesn ' t get the praise it deserves . it has some problems , but the good definitely outweigh the bad . check it out if you can find a copy . it would be
i’ve been playing a few first - person horror games lately , and they’ve all been quite good at keeping me uneasy . there’s something about that first - person perspective that makes immersing myself in the game very easy , allowing me to really feel like i’m there . the most recent one i played was hell night ( dark messiah in japan ) , a ps1 game that never managed to make it to north america . luckily , the game made it to the pal territories or i would have had to struggle my way through the japanese language version of it ( i tried . for a game with little in the way of writing or dialogue , it’s just about impossible to play if you don’t understand japanese ) . it’s a neat little game that doesn’t manage to be quite as effective as scp - 087 , but it’s still pretty terrifying when you have to turn your back on a monster and run for your life .
the barbecue restaurant electrified boston’s dining scene under former chef chris schlesinger when it opened in 1985 , injecting a splash of smoke and heat into an era of heavy sauces and tall salads . some restaurants had white tablecloths and leather wine lists ; east coast grill had neon lights , fish mounted on the walls , and plastic mermaids dangling from cocktail glasses . special menus on appointed hell nights pushed the envelope even further and gave chefs a chance to experiment with other spicy cuisines — thai , indian , caribbean .
i wrote this like two years ago , and i’ve been talking about it so much and thinking and then analyzing my own thing . in the thing , the effects are amazing , but personally , i care way less about that . the thing i’m obsessed with is what it does to the people . same with night of the living dead— personally i don ' t care that much about the zombies , but i love what it ' s doing , that power dynamic inside .
as an initiation rite into alpha sigma rho fraternity , four pledges must spend a night in garth manor , twelve years to the day after the previous resident murdered his entire family . two of the pledges , marti and jeff ignore the rumors that the now - deserted mansion is haunted by a crazed killer , until one by one , members of their group mysteriously disappear . could this be a part of a fraternity prank . . . or is a demented former tenant seeking revenge ?
there are plenty of gags in “rough night” that don’t work , like the overly obvious role - reversal stunt of having jess’ fiancée stage a bachelor party that’s an absurdly effete evening of wine - tasting . mckinnon , as pippa , has an effervescent silliness , but too much of the joke of her performance boils down to her doing an aussie accent as if that were a bubbly novelty . yet peter’s all - night - long drive to miami to rescue jess gets funnier as it goes along , and what’s amusing about the movie is the cocky texture of its feminine bonding — the jokes about home bikini waxing or scarfing pizza over a dead body , delivered with a new style of merciless aggression . it’s hardly the first , or most original , comedy of female outrage to come along , but we’ve had 40 years of men behaving badly on screen , stretching back to “national lampoon’s animal house , ” and watching these ladies get their turn generates a slobby low - down kick .
a24 has released the first it comes at night trailer , and it basically plays as one long chastisement that i haven’t seen trey edward shults ’ previous film krisha yet . while this trailer doesn’t really offer any details on plot , it’s all tone , and that tone looks phenomenal . a24 had a modest hit with the witch , and it looks like they’re trying to repeat that success with a brooding , artistic horror film that gets under your skin rather than just going for jump scares .
fire is the dominant theme in this oil painting of madeley wood furnaces , one of coalbrookdale ' s ironworks [ 1 ] . the foundry is shown at night ( the moon can just be seen peeping out at the right margin ) , silhouetted against the fiery glow of a furnace , which is being tapped . a wagon and horses are being lead away from the site through the detritus of industrial production . a dog trots alongside and a woman and her son are watching their progress .
there are different variants on the creature you’ll see , but they all bear a similar shape and build to the first one . just the same , the only important detail you need to know about it is that it can kill you in one hit . contact with the monster is lethal , so you’re going to want to stay out of its reach . that seems like it shouldn’t be much of a problem , but hell night manages to strike up a very good balance of scripted appearances and random ones . the monster in the game is often scheduled to appear on paths that you’ll need to take , so there aren’t many times when you’ll be able to do your business in a given area without him blocking an important path . at other times he’ll just show up at random , but even then i found that the game would toss him at you when you were in a tight spot . seeing him is always a good sign that you’re going the right way , but it’ll still make your heart sink when he shows up .
