Friday Releases for June 30

Friday is the busiest day of the week for new releases, so we've decided to collect them all in one place. Friday Releases for June 30 include Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Nimona, Flying High, and more.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the new movie from James Mangold, is out today.

Harrison Ford returns to the role of the legendary hero archaeologist for this fifth installment of the iconic franchise.

Nimona

Nimona, the new movie from Nick Bruno and Troy Quane, is out today.

A knight framed for a tragic crime teams with a scrappy, shape-shifting teen to prove his innocence. But what if she’s the monster he’s sworn to destroy?

Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken

Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken, the new movie from Kirk DeMicco and Faryn Pearl, is out today.

Sweet, awkward 16-year-old Ruby Gillman (Lana Condor) is desperate to fit in at Oceanside High, but she mostly just feels invisible.

She’s math-tutoring her skater-boy crush (Jaboukie Young-White), who only seems to admire her for her fractals, and she’s prevented from hanging out with the cool kids at the beach because her over-protective supermom (Toni Collette), has forbade Ruby from ever getting in the water.

But when she breaks her mom’s #1 rule, Ruby will discover that she is a direct descendant of the warrior Kraken queens and is destined to inherit the throne from her commanding grandmother (Jane Fonda), the Warrior Queen of the Seven Seas.

The Kraken are sworn to protect the oceans of the world against the vain, power-hungry mermaids who have been battling with the Kraken for eons. There’s one major, and immediate, problem with that: The school’s beautiful, popular new girl, Chelsea (Annie Murphy) just happens to be a mermaid. Ruby will ultimately need to embrace who she is and go big to protect those she loves most.

Jack Ryan S4

The fourth season of Jack Ryan, the TV series from Carlton Cuse and Graham Roland, is out today.

Convergence has begun. John Krasinski is back for The Final Season of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan.

Giraffe's Eye View | The Ten Commandments (1956) REVIEW

Hello there people of today and robots of tomorrow! It is I, Clark, exhausted after four months of Holiday preparations. Between getting ready for Halloween and Christmas can take a lot out of a guy, especially for someone as meticulous and festive as I am. Sure, I could take the time to actually relax and rest, but there are cookies to bake, presents to wrap, and monsters to expel from my house, spam it! Especially werewolves, those hairy douchebags track their hair all over the place whenever they don't floor-scoot. Along with all that comes the annual movie marathons. For September and October it's non-stop monster movies like Little Shop of Horrors, the 90s Scooby-Doo saga, and the classic Universal Monsters. You haven't lived until you see a six-foot fishman try to woo a human woman. Gillman was robbed! Meanwhile, November and December brings forth festive flicks like Miracle on 34th Street, Hogfather, Batman Returns, and The Star Wars Holiday Special. The world won't know peace until everyone hears Carrie Fisher high off her ass giving lyrics to John William's iconic score. Disney, stop cowardly denying the world this amazing milestone of television!

That said, it also denies me the chance to watch anything new that's coming out around the time, resulting in my pile of things to watch backing up. As such, the first few weeks of January are designated as Binge Week, a time for me to catch up on anything I've missed. Since I've a massive windbag with a blog, why not share my thoughts on what I'm watching with all you weirdos? With no further ado, let's begin our binging with the movies.

This first video was gifted to me by my friend Alec in the form of his old VHS copy. For all you young wiper-snappers out there wondering what the heck a VHS is, I pity you. You'll never know the satisfaction of rewinding a tape. Netflix has robbed you of that joy! Then again it's also robbed you of having to stop the movie halfway through to put in the next tape or setting up your VCR to work with your modern day television, something I had to do to watch the cinematic classic The Ten Commandments (1956). That was a biblical effort on par with parting the Red Sea. Well, maybe not, but it was certainly a pain in my spotted butt! Complaining aside, what did I think of the picture overall?

It starts with a short, old man appearing behind a set of lavish curtains to speak directly to the audience. Hoo boy, I've seen Frankenstein, I know where this is going! Is he going to warn us about the frights that await us? Actually no, he says this picture depicts the birth of freedom, our more accurately the story of Moses, played iconically by Charlton Heston. No doubt this was helping him prepare for Planet of the Apes, for trying to escape the wrath of the Egyptians turns out to be equally as exhausting. It doesn't help this his brother Ramses (Yul Brynner) is Pharaoh. Eesh, talk about your family squabbles.

Really, is there any point to me recapping the plot? Hebrew kid gets sent up the river in a basket, gets adopted by the Royal family, finds out he's Hebrew, sees a vision of a burning bush, returns to Egypt to free the slaves, yadda yadda yadda. Why repeat all of this when chances are you all know this story thanks to its cartoon counterpart, The Prince of Egypt. Comparing and contrasting the two would prove just as pointless, both having released over four decades apart from each other, both telling their stories in different mediums, and both being impressive showcases of what Hollywood was capable of at the time. Both are equally epic, but when all's said and done I prefer Prince of Egypt. Why? Let me count the ways!

Firstly, there's the aforementioned personal turmoil between Moses and Ramses. As apposed to his somewhat sympathetic two-dimensional doppelganger, Brynner's interpretation of the character is a bastard and a half, a two-headed snake that ends up eating his own tail. Not to say this is necessarily bad. After all, why feel any pity for an Egyptian monarch who is pro-slavery? Especially when Yul delivers a powerful performance that rivals Heston's, crafting one of cinema's greatest scoundrels. It's because the fractured brotherly relationship between Val Kilmer's Moses and Ralph Fiennes's Ramses is more interesting and impactful. Seeing how much the two cared about each other before Moses is sent back by God makes what happens next so much more of a gut-punch.

Speaking of emotional gut punches, there's the songs. I know this especially isn't fair considering this movie was never meant to be a musical, but all during the opening scene I kept hearing this in my head:

youtube

More accurately the Jonathan Young and Caleb Hyles cover, but you get my point.

Which brings me to my third point; the length. This film is almost four fours long, nearly rivaling Zack Snyder's Justice League runtime minus all the unnecessary slow-mo. For crying out loud, the opening includes an introduction by the film's director Cecil B. DeMille, then a quote from old scripture, followed by the Pharoh plotting to slaughter all the Hebrew firstborns, only then cutting to Moses's birth mother sending him away in a desperate bid to save his life. All of that eats up a good chunk of the movie's runtime, as apposed to the short but effective musical number DreamWorks made. I mean, do we really need to see the Pharoh's logic behind butchering a bunch of babies? The act is freak'n messed up regardless!

That said, the film at least uses its lengthy runtime wisely. We get plenty of development for Moses's adoptive mother Bithiah (Nina Foch), his treacherous ex-lover and wife of Ramses Nefertiti (Anne Baxter), more time to see what agony the Hebrews are living with under the Egyptian rule, all good stuff. Still, the movie could've cut out the last few scenes, such as God's writing of the commandments while everyone at the base of the mountain throws the world's first kegger. Really, the commandments barely played a role now and they'll continue to do so immediately after they're introduced, so why even bother? It's almost like Shang Chi and the Ten Rings, naming your movie after a magical maguffin that's just barely explained. The only difference being the rings are at least used throughout their movie!

All that said, The Ten Commandments more than earns it's spot as a gold standard of film. The acting if wonderful, the writing is witty, and the sets are a sight to behold. According to Alec, this was made back when Hollywood felt threatened by television, resulting in lavish backdrops like this that couldn't be replicated on a small screen or budget. Wow have times changed. Now we have equally detailed and lengthy movies on streaming services like HBO Max, now with the ability to pause so we can actually go the bathroom without waiting for an intermission. Trust me folks, you're gonna wanna pee before you commit to this movie. Otherwise the Parting of the Red Sea will be torturous for you. Otherwise, I say check this movie out, it's a masterpiece of biblical proportions.

Circling back to the subject of Rings though, this brings me to the other VHS my friend sent me...

CURIOUS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? CLICK HERE FOR MY THOUGHTS ON 1977'S THE HOBBIT! MAY THE GLASSES BE WITH YOU!

The best available players after Round 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft

Photograph by Ken Murray/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images

Houston offensive tackle Josh Jones highlights the best players for the second round on Friday.

In the end, after several twists, turns and false rumors, the beginning of the 2020 NFL Draft went as usual. And that goes beyond Joe Burrow going first and Chase Young going second. The Lions took cornerback Jeff Okudah at No. 3. The Giants took an offensive tackle. Tua Tagovailoa went to the Dolphins like most expected until people started assuming they would take Justin Herbert. The Chargers wisely took the best quarterback that fell to them in Herbert.

But not everything went according to plan. The wide receivers came off the board in an order few expected. Same for the offensive tackles. The first round was also filled with some stunners, like the Green Bay Packers moving up for quarterback Jordan Love or the Seattle Seahawks holding at No. 27 and taking linebacker Jordyn Brooks.

Near the center of Alabama sits a Greek mansion. The mansion has two names: Sturdivant Hall (its official name) and Watts-Parkman-Gillman Home. The mansion is considered one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in the American South.

The mansion took four years to build. Designed by Thomas Helm Lee, a cousin of Southern icon Robert E. Lee, the mansion was built for Colonel Edward T. Watts. A member of the Selma City Council, Watts and his family lived in the house until 1864. The family left for Texas; the home sold to John McGee Parkman. President of the First National Bank of Selma, Parkman bought the mansion for $65,000. Shortly after purchasing the mansion, scandal rocked its halls. Parkman and the bank was accused of cotton speculation. Both the bank and its president sustained huge losses. The Federal troops in Selma seized the bank and arrested Parkman. Imprisoned at Cahaba Prison, Parkman drowned trying to escape captivity.

In 1870, Emile Gillman bought the mansion at an auction for $12,500. Gillman was a local merchant and his family owned the mansion until 1957. The family sold the mansion to the city of Selma for $75,000. Most of the funds came from Robert Daniel Sturdivant. His will called for the creation of a museum in Selma, Alabama. In the 1970s, the mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Legend says John Parkman, and his two daughters, haunt the mansion, which continues to operate as a museum today.

The mansion’s grounds almost stretch a city block. The columns in front are “equally spaced” and “30 feet high”. More on the specifics of its architecture can be found on its NPS nomination form.

The photos are from the 1930s and are collected at the Library of Congress.

Notre Dame Preventing Irish mentor Ara Parseghian's legend will not soon be overlooked

New Post has been published on https://othersportsnews.com/notre-dame-preventing-irish-mentor-ara-parseghians-legend-will-not-soon-be-overlooked/

Notre Dame Preventing Irish mentor Ara Parseghian's legend will not soon be overlooked

Handful of coaches have been a better healthy at Notre Dame than Ara Parseghian. This was no mere healthy this was a bespoke go well with, though only as a figure of speech. The Parseghian who arrived to South Bend in December 1963 never ever stood however extended ample for a tailor to measure him.

The famous mentor, who died Wednesday at ninety four, was in a hurry his whole existence. Parseghian’s existence is an icon of twentieth century America. He was a baby of immigrants, an Armenian father and a French mother. He excelled in sports activities at South Akron (Ohio) Large, exactly where the editor of the yearbook declared in print that sometime Parseghian would mentor football at Notre Dame. He checked that box at age 40, previously a veteran of thirteen seasons as a college head mentor.

Parseghian wore clip-on ties, beltless slacks and footwear without the need of laces, all to help you save time. “Looks like I am constantly in a rush,” he said in Sport Magazine in 1964. “I am constantly in a rush. Really don’t know exactly where I am goin’ but I am constantly in a rush!”

Parseghian coached the Preventing Irish for 11 seasons and won ninety five video games, misplaced 17 and tied four. He also led the Irish to two countrywide championships, in 1966 and 1973.

The famous mentor won two countrywide titles in the course of a decade-extended continue to be with the Irish. The quantities prove he was one of Notre Dame’s most effective coaches at any time.

Famous former Notre Dame mentor Ara Parseghian, who led the Irish to countrywide championships in 1966 and 1973, died at age ninety four.

At most schools, that report would be unmatched. This staying Notre Dame, Parseghian’s successful share of .836 ranks only 3rd, guiding Knute Rockne and Frank Leahy. That was the allure and the obstacle of coaching the Irish in the middle of the twentieth century. But Parseghian won as considerably as he did with a handicap. As opposed to Rockne and Leahy, he took in excess of a application in shambles. In the decade amongst Leahy and Parseghian, the Irish went as a result of 3 coaches and averaged 5 wins per period.

Parseghian did not be reluctant. “If I will not have the courage to get this career, then am I truly deserving of the career that I have?” he questioned, according to Jim Dent’s book about the 1964 Irish, “Resurrection.”

Notre Dame did not recruit Parseghian. He termed them. He experienced pushed Northwestern as significant as No. one in 1962, and he fought mighty Ohio Point out to a attract. “It is totally incredible when Northwestern, in excess of a six-video game interval, can acquire 3 from Woody Hayes,” the late Beano Cook dinner said. “He experienced that fantastic acquire in ’58, 21-, from Ohio Point out. I can however see the image in the paper, players carrying him off the discipline. The video game was at Northwestern, and his fist was in the air.”

But Parseghian clashed with the athletic director and grew fatigued of scholar apathy. After one of his two victories at the Horseshoe, Parseghian commented on the flight residence that he could not hold out to see the reception his group would get when it returned to campus. A sportswriter on the aircraft instructed him there would be no learners ready for him, and a disbelieving Parseghian bet a steak supper. He misplaced. The year immediately after Northwestern arrived at No. one, he left.

“I’ve long gone as significantly as I can without the need of faculty spirit,” Parseghian instructed Father Theodore Hesburgh, the president of Notre Dame. “I am a believer in emotionalism in athletics, and I know they have it at Notre Dame, and I know I can do better there.'”

Matt Cashore/United states Currently Sporting activities

Parseghian apprenticed less than the tutelage of postwar football royalty. He performed at Fantastic Lakes Naval Schooling Station for Professional Football Hall of Famer Paul Brown. After leaving the Navy, he enrolled at Miami (Ohio) to participate in for another Hall of Fame mentor, Sid Gillman. After one period of expert football, he returned to campus as an assistant mentor to Hayes. And when Hayes left immediately after two seasons for Ohio Point out, Parseghian replaced him. He was 27 decades previous.

He did his component to sustain Miami’s name as the Cradle of Coaches, and immediately after 5 seasons, he left for Northwestern. Parseghian methodically created the Wildcats as most effective he could, but Northwestern did not have the bodies, bodily or numerically, to previous the length of the Significant 10 timetable. In 8 seasons, Parseghian went 36-35-one, but only 10-19 immediately after October.

A deficiency of depth never ever plagued Parseghian at Notre Dame. After October in the typical period, he went 35-six-two. Four of people losses arrived at the fingers of John McKay’s USC Trojans. Each individual fantastic mentor has a person on the reverse sideline who offers him difficulties. For Parseghian, it was McKay, from whom he went 3-six-two. For Paul “Bear” Bryant, it was Parseghian, who beat Bryant 3 periods by a total of six points. Which is not to mention 1966, when Parseghian nabbed his to start with countrywide championship in spite of an notorious 10-10 tie from No. two Michigan Point out, though 11- Alabama fumed at No. 3. Till the working day he died, Parseghian experienced to fight the notion that he did not try to beat the Spartans. The Irish took in excess of possession at their very own 30 with one:10 to participate in, and Parseghian, the person in a hurry, the mentor who never ever sat, selected to sit on the ball and operate out the clock.

More attribute was the gutsy contact that sealed his next countrywide championship. In a fight of unbeatens on a rainy New Year’s Eve at Tulane Stadium, No. 3 Notre Dame led No. one Alabama 24-23 late in the fourth quarter. Bryant, taking part in the percentages, elected to punt and pin the Irish deep in their territory. On 3rd-and-8 from the two-yard line, Parseghian termed a extended pass. Tom Clements threw 36 yards to his backup tight end, Robin Weber, whose next catch of the period sealed the video game and the countrywide championship.

Which is correct: negative disorders, extended pass, rarely-used target. Parseghian coached aggressively, and it compensated off.

By then, the tension of coaching Notre Dame experienced begun to grind him down. After successful the countrywide championship in ’73, the Irish went 10-two the upcoming year. When you acquire 10 video games and listen to enthusiasts grumble, it truly is not this kind of a fantastic healthy anymore. Parseghian experienced hurried and pushed himself tough for almost 30 decades. That was ample. After the 1974 period, he retired at age fifty one and never ever coached once again.

Dan Devine replaced him, and in his 3rd year — with juniors and seniors recruited by Parseghian — Devine won a countrywide championship. That was 40 decades in the past. Notre Dame has won one considering the fact that, in 1988. Notre Dame will miss Ara Parseghian. It has been missing him on the discipline for a extended time.
