Brenda Martin (Julianne Moore) walks the streets of New Jersey into a Dempsey hospital and claims an African-American man has stolen her car along with her sick 4-year-old son.
Detective Lorenzo Council (Samuel L. Jackson) visits and patrols the Armstrong House located in the gritty parts of the projects.
He looks after the neighborhood as if it were his own until he gets a call about an abduction from the same location.
Lorenzo goes to the hospital and meets Brenda, who is a wellknown teacher in the Armstrong House.
Lorenzo has a feeling that Brenda is not telling him the whole truth and he searches to find out what really happened to her son.
Brenda’s brother Danny Martin (Ron Eldard) is a detec
tive for the Gannon County police department.
Freedomland takes place in two northern New Jersey towns: Dempsey, a predominantly African-American working-class poor community and Gannon, a neighboring, largely white bluecollar suburb.
Danny brings in all of Gannon County police department to find out what happened to his nephew.
The police department causes tempers to flare when they place barricades trapping the residents in. Racial tension rises as residents of the Armstrong House incite a riot opposing the treatment of the Gannon police department.
Freedomland is an adaptation of Richard Price’s novel, which is based on a true story.
The novel is about a carjacking, a missing child and a neighborhood of distrust and racism.
Jackson’s performance was good.
He played the cool detective who wanted to protect his community and also the victim, Martin.
It’s a love it or hate it type of movie.
People who are fans of suspenseful movies will definitely be satisfied.
Maybe it won’t be the movie of the year but it is a look into what would happen if a white child went missing in a black community.

LIVE BLUES, STEAK: THE BEST IN TOWN
By Natalie Murillo
Daily Titan Staff Writer
tubrik’s is a restaurant for any occasion.
The second you walk in the door, you are welcomed by the warm, laid back atmosphere that surrounds the restaurant. With the lights dimmed and the blues music blaring in the background, Stubrik’s creates an atmosphere that allows a person to relax.
“It’s mellow compared to where I live,” said Aaron Robles, 24, from Corona.
The stuffed mushroom appetizer has a spicy, flavorful taste that I have never experienced in any other restaurant. The garlic-cheesy bread actually had a thick layer of cheese on top unlike most restaurants that only sprinkle Parmesan on top of the bread.
There’s no appetizer over $10 and they start at $3. The Cajun chicken is for people who realS
ly love extremely spicy food. The steak comes in three different sizes: 8, 12 and 16 ounces. The steak is completely trimmed of its fat and is thick and juicy.
The steak doesn’t even need steak sauce because it is so juicy and well cooked. The steak dinners cost from $14 to $36 depending on how big the steak is and what type of steak it is.
Stubrik’s also has pasta dinners such as chicken fettuccine alfredo, seafood dishes and dishes like beef stroganoff that are priced from $14 to $21.
The seafood dishes are the more pricey dishes.
“The food is very, very good here. The black and blue steak is fabulous, it’s really tender and there’s blue cheese on top and that’s my favorite,” said Alaina
Childs, 23, of Anaheim.
Stubrik’s has drink specials almost everyday of the week.
“The best thing about [Stubrik’s] is that you could get a really high quality steak, a really great dinner and you can walk in with a tank top and some flip flops,” said Bobby Fox, Stubrik’s manager.
He said many patrons feel as if Stubrik’s is an “East Coast bar on the West Coast” because of the live blues bands and the low-key atmosphere.
“You can get a little bit of everything,” Fox said.
The banana split is big enough to feed more than three people and there is no desert on the menu over $9.
Stubrik’s also has a special “calling card” to help people remember where they had their great time and to also make it known to other bars who has visited Stubrik’s.
“They always give you two dollar bills and a dollar coin,” said Sheries Aguilar, 27, from Yorba Linda who warns people not spend the two-dollar bills they are given because they are considered good luck.
Overall, I think the restaurant deserves a five star rating because the service is wonderful. The food is served in a timely manner and the waitress and bus boy never let your water or drink glass go empty. Stubrik’s has live bands from Tuesday through Saturday nights starting at 11 p.m.
Stubrik’s is located in downtown Fullerton. For more information, call 714-871-1290.
