Bonus Day

Finally, finally, finally the sun came out!

I think we were all thrilled to be at practice without being cold, wet, or both. The Head Coach gave the team a quick talk about the upcoming end of the regular season, Coach T got the music on over the loudspeakers, and we all got to work.

The sprinters took a couple block starts for practice, and then they did timed 30m dashes out of the blocks- three each- and that was that. They either stretched and went home or, if they’re multi-event athletes, went to train a bit more on their jumps or throws. They were cheering on the distance runners, who were doing 200m repeats, as well, and it’s good to see that team camaraderie.

A few members of the local police force- and The Police Chief- showed up because they’re sending two guys to the academy and they need to be able to run a mile and a half in a certain amount of time. One of the officers who was timing is a former student, so it was fun to chat with him for a bit, and with the chief, too. He and I might not see eye to eye on everything (ie- ALICE training), but he’s a good man.

Even though it’s spring break, I’m doing some professional development- the WriteNow Conference- so I checked my school email early this afternoon to double-check the details, and found two overdue book papers (I graded one, sent the other back for lacking citations) and an email The Principal had sent to notify us that one of our custodians had passed away. He was assigned to my floor for years, and used to chat with me if I was grading or something when he came in to clean my classroom. He wasn’t in good health, so it’s not a total surprise, but it still sucks. I’m still processing it, really.

I did eventually read the email I’d intended to read, and checked the time for part one of WriteNow: a two-hour writing workshop with Tom Romano. I just got home from that, and my brain is still buzzing. I mean, I was sitting in a room with fellow teachers from all over New England, and Tom was giving us prompts, and we were writing and sharing... It was so awesome. I loved it. Tomorrow’s the actual conference, so expect more writing (and tweeting, if you’re one of my Twitter followers) then!

Nightmares in a Damaged Brain (1981) 21st Century Film Corporation Dir. Romano Scavolini

It’s claimed by the film’s makers that Tom Savini provided the practical special effects for Nightmares in a Damaged Brain. Savini himself says he has no recollection of working on this film.

MOTHERS, SONS, DAUGHTERS

Opening this weekend...

Evil Dead Rise--This fifth feature in the beloved horror series that began in 1981 moves most of the action out of the woods and into the city. An earthquake uncovers a copy of the "Book of the Dead" in the bowels of a decaying L.A. apartment building. Near the tome are a couple of vinyl records on which a priest has recorded the incantations necessary to invoke the evil spirits that re-animate dead bodies to torment the living. The kid who finds all this is an aspiring DJ, so he has turntables, so...

Through this laborious set-up, the lissome tattoo-artist single mother (Alyssa Sutherland) ends up possessed by a malevolent force. It's up to her guitar-tech sister (Lily Sullivan) to defend her nephew and two nieces. Gruesome mayhem ensues, hitting on the obligatory tropes of the series--grinning, leering, levitating corpses, oceanic amounts of gore, hurtling demonic POV, the repeated phrase "dead by dawn!"--as well as nods to Kubrick's The Shining and to Fargo.

I'm afraid I've run out of patience with this style of horror flick. Watching a woman's corpse terrorize and murder her children probably wouldn't be my idea of entertainment in any case, but here it's not only unpleasant but tedious. I've grown weary of films in which characters stand transfixed as something ghastly happens in front of them. After a while one begins to suspect that all the interminable gasping and whimpering and slowly backing away may not even really be about generating terror or heightening suspense, but rather about padding a thin script out to feature length.

Sam Raimi's original Evil Dead trilogy was not inconsequential cinema. The "shaky cam" techniques that Raimi and his cronies developed on those indies, out of economic necessity, were highly influential on the Coen Brothers and Barry Sonnenfeld and others. But beyond the realm of technical innovation, Raimi's movies, especially the marvelous Evil Dead II of 1987, had a low-tech vigor, a whimsical sense of macabre comedy and a guileless campfire-story gusto that, combined with the one-of-kind slapstick acting of star Bruce Campbell, made them classics.

Raimi and Campbell are listed as executive producers on Evil Dead Rise, but almost none of the twisted magic of their early work can be felt here. There's some elegance to the production design, and leading ladies Sutherland and Sullivan are stunning, Bukowski-style L.A. goddesses. There's a sweet line in which the youngest niece tells her aunt why she thinks she'll be a good mom someday. And the Hieronymus Bosch-like horror into which the demon's victims conglomerate themselves is a decent Raimi-ish idea, though the CGI renders it soulless.

I'm told that this film, directed by the Irish Lee Cronin, was originally slated to open on cable TV but got a theatrical release after test audiences took to it. So it may be that I've just aged out of this sort of thing, and the movie will truly please audiences. If so, even though it's not for me, I nonetheless find it cheering that people still want to scream in company.

Somewhere in Queens--Less than a month after opening the Phoenix Film Festival, Ray Romano's feature directorial debut opens theatrically here in the Valley. Romano, who co-wrote the script, also stars as Leo Russo, a bedraggled hangdog sad sack who works for his family's contracting business in the title borough. Leo isn't the favorite son, however. His father (Tony LoBianco) shows more respect to Leo's slick brother Frank (Sebastian Maniscalco). Maybe everybody loves Raymond, but nobody loves Leo.

Well, that's not true. His siblings and his wife Angela (Laurie Metcalf) love him well enough, but they don't take him seriously, or listen to him. A sultry widower (Jennifer Esposito) on a jobsite seems to take a shine to him, but he's not the adulterous type. Leo does have a source of pride, however: his quiet son "Sticks" (Jacob Ward) is a high school basketball star. One night at a big game, Leo and Angela are surprised to learn that Sticks has a girlfriend (Sadie Stanley) they didn't know about. The same night, they learn that he may be good enough for a college scholarship.

Though it's often funny, a forlorn atmosphere hangs over the early scenes of this movie that had me bracing for some sort of wretched tragedy that would leave the characters standing around emergency rooms or something like that. But the story, though it stings, doesn't drag us through the mud; it takes off in unexpected and painful yet believable and sometimes exhilarating directions.

The feel for the setting is convincing, and so is the large cast. The ensemble scenes are well-executed, especially the girlfriend's debut at a big family dinner, where she both irks and impresses the relations with her nerviness. Romano plays Leo as a toned-down version of his stage and sitcom persona, cowed and slow-witted, and his tentative, apologetic boyishness is poignant, even when you can see how his family could find it irritating.

For a while it seems like the film is underutilizing the mighty Metcalf, but finally Angela gets her big moment. Romano lets her articulate the theme of the movie, admitting probably the most frequent emotion of the parenting experience: Fear.

Also opening this weekend, at Harkins Chandler Fashion 20 and Harkins Arrowhead, is Tom Huang's fine comedy-drama Dealing with Dad...

It's slated to play at Harkins Shea and at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre in Sedona starting April 28.

I reviewed it last year, after it made the rounds of several festivals including Phoenix Film Festival. It's very much worth checking out.

I feel like if shiv ever tried to nail tom for infidelity in the divorce proceedings, regardless of her own affairs as they are far less egregious than fucking her cousin, her lawyer would have trouble proving the texts are sexual or even romantic in nature as evidence because tom would text shit like "I want to take a fork to your intestines, twirl them like spaghetti, and eat you right up" and Greg's response is something incoherent like "haha with parmesean or without" and tom would text back "with romano you ill mannered garbanzo bean" and the judge or mediator would look at it and be like. "Are you sure this wasn't written by an infant ai????"
