  1. Patrick: Bluegrass may have influenced Tolkien¿s novels

    Could hobbits have originated in Kentucky?
    Could hobbits have originated in Kentucky? Was Aragorn, the heroic ranger in the 20th Century’s most popular English novel, modeled indirectly on Kentucky’s best known frontiersman? It’s possible that these ideas are more than fantasy....

  2. Out on Home Video: 'Skyline' released this week

    <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">SKYLINE</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> (2010/B-/</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Directed by Colin and Greg Strause/</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Starring Eric Balfour, Donald Faison, Scottie Thompson, Brittany Daniel, David Zayas, Crystal Reed, Robin Gammell, J. Paul Boehmer, Tanya Newbould, Tony Black, Pam Levin/</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Universal/Rated PG-13/Sci-Fi/94 minutes/</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Available on: DVD and Blu-ray):</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> "Skyline" presents viewers with a vision of hard-working, yet self-indulgent adults who remain unmarried and childless into their late 20s and early 30s. Elaine (Scottie Thompson) and Jarrod (Eric Balfour), are a smitten young couple traveling to Los Angeles for friend Terry's (Donald Faison) birthday celebration. After a night spent drinking with Terry, his girlfriend Candice (Brittany Daniel) and secretary Denise (Crystal Reed), the revelers awaken in Terry's posh high-rise apartment to an eerie blue light from outside. Looking into the light hypnotizes the viewer who is subsequently vacuumed into its source. The Strause Brother's aliens are spiny, shape-shifting space ships, flying seekers, giant crushers, and tentacled beasts that hunt down those humans surviving the initial onslaught. Up and down, in and out of the high-rise the survivors go, joining other survivors, or succumbing to the invaders. The film illustrates a bleak vision that coincides with predictions of extraterrestrial visitors presented by preeminent scientist, Stephen Hawking. Comparisons to "Star Trek's" alien Borg or to the plot line of "War of the Worlds," may be inevitable, though this vision is reasonably fresh. "Skyline's" flaw lies in its disposable humans, as the characters assume a low priority in the minds of the Strauses who own the special effects company that made such a movie possible on a mere $10 million dollar budget. DVD features: Commentary with Directors Greg and Colin Strause or Commentary with Co-writer/Producer Liam O'Donnell and Co-writer Joshua Cordes, deleted and extended scenes, alternate scenes, Pre-Visualization, English, French or Spanish language tracks, widescreen. Blu-ray features same plus: D-Box Enabled.</span>

  3. Out on Home Video: 'Due Date' released on home video

    <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">DUE DATE</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> (2010/B-/Directed by Todd Phillips/Starring Robert Downey Jr., Zach Galifianakis, Michelle Monaghan, Juliette Lewis, Jamie Foxx, Danny McBride, RZA, Matt Walsh/Warner/Rated R/Comedy/95 minutes/Available on: DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack): </span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Robert Downey Jr. plays buttoned-down Peter Highman, an architect sprouting a Bluetooth from his ear. During his jobs away from home, arrogant Peter counsels his heavily-pregnant wife (Michelle Monaghan), via his Bluetooth, regarding acceptable baby names. Peter appears destined to be a distant and controlling father. His best shot at changing occurs when he becomes trapped on a road trip with self-indulgent ignoramus, Ethan (Galifianakis). After Ethan provokes a scene in an Atlanta airport that lands Peter on the "do not fly list," Ethan persuades Peter to join him for the 2,000 mile drive to their Los Angeles homes. Ethan is traveling with a coffee can containing his father's ashes, and an ugly lap dog named Sonny. Now that his father has died, Ethan hopes to become an actor so that he can appear on his favorite TV show, "Two-and-a-Half Men." Peter preaches the realities of Hollywood to Ethan, but Peter's trying road companion is impervious to either criticism or sarcasm. The charismatic actors successfully sell the film's mean-spirited jokes as does the direction by "Hangover's" Todd Phillips. The thinly-plotted "Due Date" feels as if it was rushed into and through production. The film's saving grace is that it doesn't ask its characters to grow up, get a clue, or become better people. DVD features: Gag reel, English, Spanish or French language tracks, widescreen. 2-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack features same plus: film on DVD and Blu-ray, Digital Copy, full "Two and A Half Men" scene featuring Ethan Tremblay, Additional scenes, Compilation of the physical comedy, too many questions mash-up, English, French or Spanish language tracks, widescreen.</span>
