A portrait of a bad brotherhood in “Rams”
By Jenny A.
In a secluded valley in Iceland, Gummi and Kiddi live side by side, tending to their sheep. Their ancestral sheep-stock is considered one of the country’s best and the two brothers are repeatedly awarded for their prized rams who carry an ancient lineage. Although they share the land and a way of life, Gummi and Kiddi have not spoken to each other in four decades. When a lethal disease suddenly infects Kiddi’s sheep, the entire valley comes under threat. The authorities decide to cull all the animals in the area to contain the outbreak. This is a near death sentence for the farmers, whose sheep are their main source of income, and many abandon their land. But Gummi and Kiddi don’t give up so easily – and each brother tries to stave off the disaster in his own fashion: Kiddi by using his rifle and Gummi by using his wits. As the authorities close in, the brothers will need to come together to save the special breed passed down for generations, and themselves, from extinction. This film has unpredictable plot with certain compassion through the main characters. The best part is that in each family one member always will be a brother, who dominates more than the others especially when your brother is your worst troublemaker neighbor but a particular issue makes that these men have support as would have been better from the beginning. Definitely Rams feels of a master piece from Iceland with great style and engaging to see it.

It’s been more than 10 years since our last appointment at Calvin’s Barbershop. Calvin (Ice Cube) and his longtime crew, including Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer), are still there, but the shop has undergone some major changes. Most noticeably, our once male-dominated sanctuary is now co-ed. The ladies bring their own flavor, drama and gossip to the shop challenging the fellas at every turn. Despite the good times and camaraderie within the shop, the surrounding community has taken a turn for the worse, forcing Calvin and our crew to come together to not only save the shop, but their neighborhood.
“Barbershop: The Next Cut” also stars Regina Hall (“Think Like a Man”), Oscar winner Common (“Selma”), Sean Patrick Thomas (“Barbershop”), Eve (“Whip It”), Anthony Anderson (TV’s “Black-ish”), Jaszmine Lewis (“Barbershop”), JB Smoove (TV’s “The Millers”), and recording artist Nicki Minaj (“The Other Woman”).
Lee directed the film from a screenplay by Kenya Barris (“Black-ish”) & Tracy Oliver (“The Neighbors”), based on characters created by Mark Brown. “Barbershop: The Next Cut” reteams the producers from the first two films, Robert Teitel, George L. Tillman and Ice Cube.

Written and directed by Matt Osterman (Ghost from the Machine), 400 DAYS centers on four astronauts sent on a simulated mission to a distant planet to test the psychological effects of deep space travel. Locked away for 400 days, the crew’s mental state begins to deteriorate when they lose all communication with the outside world. The feature film stars Brandon Routh and Caity Lotz (who also star in the upcoming Arrow/Flash spinoff series DC’s Legends of Tomorrow), Emmy® nominee Ben Feldman (Mad Men), comedian Dane Cook (Detention, Mr. Brooks), Tom Cavanagh (The Flash) and Grant Bowler (Defiance).
A film with an undiscovered masterpiece of space simulation.All the members of cast had solid performances in 400 days and keep you guessing what is actually happening around the characters. Definitely, the best runner of life in the middle of a zombie apocalypse in such a claustrophobic environment. Many scenes and visuals were decent enough. “400 Days” follows a long the typical low budget mystery and ‘horror’ plots of the ‘isolated people’ genre with a good result.

The park was turned into a Holiday wonderland for Christmas. Holiday in the Park will feature an enormous Christmas tree and loads of festive decorations.The idea was so good that this can be my alternate for the Osborne lights. The park is very well-maintained, the bathrooms were always clean and the Christmas decoration was outstanding. Good variety of places to eat, too. Organizers were very kind with Media. Here are some of the most highlights to enjoy.
View millions of dazzling lights and decorations.
Twinkling lights will add brightness and beauty to the night. Millions of colorful LEDs wrap around attractions, line rooftops on our buildings, and hang from trees. Thousands of lights full of happiness.
Experience exclusive family attractions.
Families will enjoy our seasonal winter attractions and themed areas. Each section of the park has a different theme to represent the best delights of the season. Take in the scents in Peppermint Plaza, snuggle up under Merry Mistletoe, and warm up next to toasty fire pits in some places.
