Grants Headstart teacher makes the classroom fun MEET CAMILLE'S TEACHER OF THE MONTH: DEIDRE GRUBER By Dee Velasco For the Sun

ach month, Camille’s Sidewa l k Ca fe i n Gallup chooses and recognizes one local teacher within the Gallup area for the Teacher of the Month award. Teachers are nominated for their efforts and determination to help local students rise beyond their expectations. This month, Camille's Sidewalk Cafe recognizes pre-kindergarten teacher Deidre Gruber, of Grants. Gruber received the news from her boss after school let out at Grants Head Start, where she has been teaching pre-K for the past two years. Gruber felt honored and excited upon hearing the news. She has been teaching more than seven years overall. Originally from Crownpoint, Gruber is Diné. She received her bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from the University of New Mexico in 2016. “I’ve never been recognized, so it’s an honor and exciting at the same time," she said. A teacher named Mrs. Glass became one of the role models who sparked Gruber’s interest in becoming a teacher herself. Gruber said she had some “really cool” teachers at an early age. Then, in high school, she had some inspirational instructors who fed that dream she had as a girl. She said, “As I watched these teachers, they made teaching fun and helped encourage other kids to do their best." Gruber took those memories and replicated them in her classroom with the 16 students she teaches. Gruber said the biggest thrill she gets from her job comes when the children enter her classroom every day. The smiles on their faces give her a jolt of

Like any other job, Gruber faces challenges. She points to the lack of recognition for teachers. She says there are a lot of great teachers, but also some who aren’t that enthused about the career, giving a bad name to those who love their teaching jobs. She says that makes it difficult to highlight how many truly great teachers there are.

Another challenge she faces is testing. Gruber believes test-taking takes the focus off the students. Gruber says you have to train young children to succeed at tests, and that can be overwhelming and hard on some teachers. The pre-K curriculum consists of social and emotional benchmarks that her class must hit every month. Gruber says it’s easy to lose focus on the kids and having fun while still encouraging them reach those standards. “There are some great teachers who get ding[ed] by the low scores because some kids didn’t do well on test days, but well on other days. That’s not taken into

consideration and that hurts most teachers especially at the end of the year," she said. Despite the challenges, Gruber says she sees herself still teaching down the road, pursuing her education, and hopefully owning her own daycare center. When she’s not teaching, she tries to spend more time with her family, but she says teaching is a never-ending job. “A teacher’s job is never done," she jokingly says. “I’m always looking for things to make learning more interesting.” On weekends, she prepares things for the classroom. On outings with her family, she may spot things she can use

in her classroom. Her husband jokes that they have 18 children including her own two kids. The future for Gruber is teaching first grade. She also shared words of inspiration to those who want to teach. “Do it. It’s the most rewarding job ever. You do make a difference in a kid’s life, giving them ideas for the day - just showing them that there are people that love them and care for them.” If you’re interested in nominating your favorite teacher for Teacher of the Month, contact Camille’s Sidewalk Café at (505) 722-5017 or stop by at 306 S. 2nd St.

meeting because she knew commissioners were scheduled to discuss a budget increase to cover the purchase of a semi-truck that would help the pantry extend its mobile food bank in the coming weeks. The Community Pantry, 1130 Hassler Valley Rd., serves people across northwestern New Mexico, and includes a branch in Grants that serves all of Cibola County.

The pantry provides services including free produce, an emergency food box, Food For Kids, The Emergency Food Assistance Program, and The Agency Program which assists local nonprofits and churches. Commissioner Billy Moore said the commission previously approved about $100,000 for the pantry to purchase a semi-truck at the Sept. 3 meeting. The estimated

cost for the truck came to about $125,000, leading to a requested increase in budget expenditures of $30,000. County Manager Anthony Dimas Jr. said the money that was approved at the Sept. 3 meeting was from capital outlay funds, or money that is used to either purchase a fixed asset or increase its period of usefulness. “[This transfer] is carryover cash from statewide projects,” Dimas said. “The pantry was a little bit shy of the amount they needed [for the semi-truck], so this transfer is in case they need it.” Ch a i r per son Bi l l L ee agreed on the pantry needing a semi-truck. “You do good work for the community by providing essential services,” Lee said. The budget transfer was approved with a 3-0 vote.

Since it was determined that she was intoxicated while caring for a small child, she was charged with abuse of a child and her son was transported to the sheriff’s office.

EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK Gamerco, Oct. 14 Workers at Joe Mama's Mexican Walmart reported that someone had broken into their storage shed and stolen several items after climbing over a fence. Most of the items were recovered as McKinley County Sheriff deputies searched the area. For example, a truck dolly and air compressor were found in the yard, apparently

left there because they were too big to lift over the fence. Deputies later found a marijuana bowl near where it was suspected the person entered the yard. Deputies also found shoe prints in the area. One witness later remembered seeing a gray Jeep Cherokee in the area. The only object that was not found was a Craftsman tool box with tools inside which had been purchased some years before for $40 at a flea market. There are no suspects.

Morgan said he and Spencer were both hungry, so he was preparing to go into the trailer to talk to his boss when he suddenly found himself on the ground. He said he realized that Spencer had picked up a rock and hit him in the head with it. Morgan said he sat on the ground waiting for help while Spencer went inside. Todachine said when he arrived, Morgan was sitting down with a head wound that was still bleeding. After talking to the owner of the trailer, who said she had gone outside after Morgan was hit, Todachine said he approa ched Spencer a nd asked her if she had any injuries. When she said no, he told her she was being arrested and then transported her to the county jail.

W hen he got there, he found another officer who had arrived earlier and found Larry Lee Jr., 34, of Gallup, passed out behind the wheel of his car, which was in drive and still running. The officer put the car into park and woke Lee. Lee showed signs of being intoxicated and agreed to take the standard field sobriety tests to show he was capable of driving. He failed the tests and was arrested for DWI. He later agreed to take a breath alcohol test and posted samples of .16 and .16. Shirley said he later found out from Metro Dispatch that Lee had two prior DWI convictions and that his driver’s license had been suspended.

Newly posted data reveals opportunities to cut industry emissions Staff Reports

ANTA FE - The New Mexico Environment Depa r t ment posted excess emissions data reported to the Department on its website Oct. 15. The data follows: “Transparency of self-reported emissions data, in conjunction with our regulatory efforts to curb excess methane emissions in the oil and gas industry, is essential to understanding air quality impacts in

communities around the state,” according to NMED Cabinet Secreta r y Ja mes Ken ney. “Compliance with permits and air quality regulations is not optional. It is expected by the communities in which these facilities operate and by NMED.” These excess emissions, which can include volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides, make up a large part of the state’s greenhouse gas emissions and are contributing to concerning levels of ozone present

in seven New Mexico counties. Posting this data highlights the extent of the problem and allows the public to see for itself the volume of emissions emitted in excess of allowable, permitted limits. While excess emissions are not necessarily violations, they present an opportunity for reductions. Industrial sources that emit greater than 10 pounds per hour or 25 tons of criteria,

Earthweek: Diary of a Changing World Week ending Friday, October 11, 2019 Coastal Spill Brazilian officials are pointing their fi ngers at Venezuela for a massive oil spill that has polluted hundreds of miles of beaches in nine northeastern states during the past few weeks. The spill has killed numerous sea turtles and kept swimmers and fishermen from the contaminated coastal strip. Brazil’s Environment Minister Ricardo Salles said the spill appears to have come from Venezuela, and that more than 110 tons of oil have been recovered. “ It could be something criminal, it could be an accidental spill, it could also be a ship that sank,” said Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro.

Painting stripes on cows is touted as a pesticide-free way of protecting the animals from biting ﬂies. Photo: Tomoki Kojima / PLOS One

Pest Stripes The misery that cows suffer from biting flies could be greatly reduced, thanks to a novel paint job for the animals devised by a team of Japanese researchers. They found that by painting white stripes on cows, similar to those on zebras, the number of flies landing on the cows fell by more than 50 percent. Flies seem to avoid landing on black-and-white surfaces due to the difference in the polarization of light ref lecting off the two shades, which confuses the flies. Writing in the journal PLOS One, scientists say fewer flies on the striped cows led to a sharp decline in the fly-defense movements made by the bovines, such as stomping of the feet and flipping of the head.

OPINIONS VIEW OF A VETERAN

over nment and pr ivate companies gone wild in California, just this week electricity was cut off to almost a million people for fear of starting a fire! The state has lost its mind by allowing a private company to shut off the electricity to people who may be on oxygen, sleep c-pac’s, COPD therapy machines, and other at home medical devices. So, the question is if a person were to die, or have to go to the hospital because there at home medical devices would not work who is going to pay

for this? This is the same state that bans certain assault fi rearms and their magazine size, limits concealed carry permits, is a sanctuary state, wants to give illegals free medical care, and the right to vote. Where does this stop? If you do not stop letting these left wing democrats’ politicians get voted into office it’s only going to get worse before you know it will happen here. The utility has been found responsible for about two dozen wildfi res and fi led for ba nk r uptcy protection i n January. PG&E has said it

could face up to $30 billion in liabilities for fi res started by its equipment in recent years. In response, PG&E described the act of cutting off the power is taken out of an abundance of caution in the interest of safety. Of course, this is the same state that prevents you from thinning trees and underbrush. Just this week a judge ruled to stop wood cutting in NM because the USFS failed to keep track of the spotted owl. Lucky for us my dad and many others got most of their wood cutting done for the winter and the judge was

MADAME G

going to allow private wood cutting but not for commercial use. More bull crap because we are going to become like California and not be able to thin the forest and start having the same type of problems even here! To make matters worse he is going to put small business like Mount Taylor Mills Works out of business, and maybe lay people off during the holidays. Make damn sure you try and fi gure when you got to vote you pick the person running for office who is not going to do stupid things like these.

Trump just signed an order to stop federal agencies from making fines so high most people can’t afford them and to spend more time explaining violations of federal laws and regulations and getting corrected instead of dragging people to court. As Trump says too many un-elected officials interpret and make up the rules, and laws as they go and it needs to stop! Make su re you go out and vote, if they are running unopposed leave the box blank. Find out if at least two are running who is the better of the two. And as soon as you get the chance vote for the republicans in the general election! Signed; Mr. Harry L. Hall USAF Veteran Retired Police Officer

GUIDE TO THE STARS WEEK OF OCTOBER 14

Madame G recommends you spend time enjoying the fall weather and the Last Quarter Moon on Friday, Oct. 18. This is the time to start new projects and enjoy. You have the ability to become who you’ve always wanted to be. You can do whatever you want if you really want it. But, you must be willing to make the necessary sacrifices. Be free and live well!

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

At times it feels as if life is pushing you forward or bouncing you around in a washing machine. Anyone can become overwhelmed and tired of this constant backand-forth. You’re not the only one. Instead of forcing yourself away from a certain subject, take a moment to evaluate your thoughts. Care for your feelings and then you can let them go. Peace.

You’re almost there. Don’t give up. But, once you’re done, you’re on to the next one just like in that Jay-Z song. That’s a great workout song, but it’s not the best way to live your life. You can do so much more than you’re giving yourself credit for. You don’t need to stop being you. You just need to live the life that is right for you. Don’t follow someone else’s script.

Be happy in the here and now, this is all we have. Pay attention to relationships and notice who has helped you. Now is a good time to practice random acts of kindness and use generosity and collaboration to open doors. Be sure you are making your moves out of real interest before you make commitments.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Perfectionism hurts many people and they might not even realize they’re perfectionists. You might think that sloppy people can’t be perfectionists, which isn’t true. Sometimes you can be so stifled by a sense of perfectionism that you don’t even try to make anything better because of a fear of failure. Is that you? Got perfectionism? Well, take a breath. You’re doing fi ne.

Emotional agility is more than just a buzz word. It’s also a state of mind. You must be resilient and strong to survive and be happy. We all have choices to make and burdens to carry. Our way forward can lead to many great discoveries, but we must be willing and able to unfold them. Do your best today and keep moving forward, no matter how slowly and surely you go. Just go!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Don’t give up on your dreams. You can do this. Don’t give up hope. Focus on the parts that you can solve. If you’re a people-pleaser, now is the time to determine if it’s holding you back. You can disentangle from other’s needs without being extreme. Don’t just run, Try some discussion and negotiation to make things work in a new way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Don’t hurry towards your own death. Take a moment to enjoy all of life’s offerings, like joy. Timing is important. If you’re feeling less than diplomatic, reschedule important meetings. At the same time, you may fi nd yourself being overly-generous. Work toward balance and refocus on a personal mission.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You can do this! You’re only moments away from the fi nal selection. You may also want to force yourself to think everything through. There’s no need to face disappointment about what could or should have happened. In the end, you must live with your decisions. It’s not just about getting picked by someone for something. You also need to evaluate the situation for yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Take care of your mental health. This is not often discussed as much as your physical health. But, your mental health is just as important, if not more. You can’t change the world. You can only work on yourself. You can’t prevent bad things from happening, but you can understand yourself in relation to them. Keep an honest and open mind. Do your best.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Life is not about forgetting or only doing what you’re good at. Sometimes, you need to get up and have a hard day, fight, or get punched. These moments are tough and painful, but we are capable of more than we think. Don’t give up on yourself. Don’t give up on your loved ones. Make the most out of what you have here and now.

Friday October 18, 2019 • Gallup Sun

Don’t look back; that’s a pointless struggle. You are who you are. You may not be able to change everything, but that doesn’t mean you can’t live the best life possible. If you’re seeking support, now is the time to go to the people who have always been there for you. Keep moving forward. You’re doing the best you can and that’s good enough!

This is the time to be joyful, when you feel alone, neglected, and worthless. Feel as bad as you like and celebrate that feeling. Nurture yourself. You don’t need to be afraid of the bad feelings, the mean feelings that strip you of courage and make you feel weak. Embrace those feelings. They are neither good nor bad. They are just like you. They are. OPINIONS

By Melissa Martin, Ph.D Guest Columnist Dear Editor: October is Nat iona l Bullying Prevention Month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ever y day t housa nd s of young people experience bullying from their peers while at school, after school in their neighborhoods, and even when they are at home, through socia l med ia a nd tex t s,â&#x20AC;? PACER points out. Founded in 2006, PACER is a national bullying prevention center, www. pacer.org. But, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my question. How do we as adults hope to prevent bullying among our youth when adults can be some of the vilest verbal word-villains? A 2 019 a r t icle i n T h e Chicago Tribune tells the snarly story. An Illinois freelance writer Melissa Blake wrote a recent anti-Trump op-ed piece for CNN. A mob of mean mug-thugs hurled hurtful names: fat, potato, blobfish. Blake tweeted back with such dignity and grace - sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my new heroine. She showed three happy selfie pics and educated the mug-thugs about Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome, a genetic bone and muscular disorder. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experienced 26 surgeries. Say howdy to her at melissablakeblog.com. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll admit that I wanted to smear Gorilla Glue Epoxy on the cyber-bullyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s malicious lips. And dip their foul fi ngertips in battery acid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of us encounter adult bullies at certain points in our lives. An adult bully can be an intimidating boss or colleague, a controlling romantic partner, an unruly neighbor, a high-pressure sales/business representative, a condescending family member, a shaming social acquaintance, or other ty pes of abusive relationships,â&#x20AC;? surmised a 2016 online article at Psychology Today. An adult bully can also be a president, a politician, a professor, a physician, a police officer, a TV producer, preacher, a parent, a partner, or a peer. A bully likes power and control. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my way or the highway.â&#x20AC;? Bullies can often be found in positions of power. Being bullied goes right to ou r core a nd we feel OPINIONS

d isrespected a nd t reated unfairly. We expect adults to act and react with maturity not with a total toxic tongue. Bullying behavior is a consistent and intentional pattern of intimidation, harassment, or aggression. In a 2018 article on the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center website, Ken Yeager, Ph.D., reported, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adults are being bullied at levels similar to adolescents, according to a 2017 survey conducted on behalf of the American Osteopathic Association. The online survey of more than 2,000 U.S. adults found that 31 percent of Americans have been bullied as an adult. The survey defined bullying as being subjected to repeated, negative behavior intended to harm or intimidate.â&#x20AC;? Aga i n, I a sk the sa me

question. How do we as adults hope to prevent bu l ly i ng among our youth when adults can be belligerent bullies? And reality TV shows are ripe with bullying behaviors. It appears that competition can bring out the snark y, nasty, and ghastly: threats, personal attacks, manipulation. Pathetic producers pander the performance drama for ratings. Folks, just change the channel. Bill Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly, former Fox News Host, was fi nally fi red he reigns as the classic bully of the on-air culture of a host bullying guests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Simple peck[ing]-order bullying is only the beginning of the kind of hierarchical behavior that can lead to racism, sexism, ethnocentrism, classism, and all the other â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ismsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that cause so

Melissa Martin much suffering in the world,â&#x20AC;? Octavia Butler surmised. As adults we must continue to role model and teach the

Golden Rule to our children. I ask another question. Can we create a world without bullying?

Navajo husband-wife team work together to create traditional 1800s style jewelry By Rick Abasta For the Sun

MITH LAKE, N.M. Damon Thompson, 61, creates authentic Navajo jewelry in the style of his late great-great grandfather, Charlie Davis. Originally from Mariano Lake, N.M., Thompson said he began making jewelry in 1980, starting off with nickel silver creations. Today, he only makes sterling silver pieces, with the assistance of his wife, Marie. “We both work together. We do men and ladies watch bracelets, bowguards, bracelets [anywhere from one-half-inch wide to five-inches wide], buckles, bolo ties, and concho belts. We do a little bit of rings and earrings, too,” he said. Thompson said his wife has small hands, which match perfectly with bezel and stone setting duties. “She does a lot of work,” he said, adding that they only work with quality stones like Kingman turquoise. A room inside their house serves as their shop, with a large table dominating the room. There is no curtain and this is by design, to let in the maximum amount of sunlight. Another table with a buffing machine and grinder is

The husband and wife team sit at opposite sides of the main work table, with one stamping and soldering while the other sets up bezels and places stones. The collaboration is reminiscent of another hardworking duo that created Navajo jewelry two centuries earlier. Thompson’s great-great cheii was Charlie Davis, who was born in the 1800s.

Damon Thompson, of Smith Lake, N.M., is one of the top Navajo artisans doing business with Navajo Arts and Crafts Enterprise. Photo Credit: Courtesy of NACE “This is a family hand-down,” he said. “This is an old-style bracelet. [Cheii] married my másání, who was from Ramah, N.M. They got married and they started silversmithing.” Thompson’s secret recipe for old style bracelets is a modern take in the vein of his grandfather’s work: 24-gauge silver plate, 8-gauge half round, 18-gauge twist wire, 28-gauge scalloped bezel, tear drops, Sleeping Beauty turquoise, and his personal blend of family stamps. His grandfather’s original style was more labor intensive, however. “Back then, they only had chunks of silver and they started by pounding it and making their own bezel, half round, everything…even their own plate. That’s where it originated from, this style,” he said. Thompson’s family was united in their love and work of silversmithing. Cheii’s style was passed down from generation to generation. He learned the intricacies of the craft and family secrets of the trade from his late sister, Laura. It took quite a while to get to this point and make jewelry like this, he said.

The silversmithing secrets of the Thompson family spans two centuries, originating from the jewelry making style of the late Charlie Davis of Ramah, N.M. Thompson said he learned silversmithing from his late sister, Laura. His process begins with the selection of turquoise. Photo Credit: Courtesy of NACE “I don’t know if you call it perfection,” he said with a laugh. “Whatever you call it, it took time for me to get here.” The process for jewelry making for the Thompsons begins with the purchase of turquoise. “This turquoise is very expensive. These are not cheap, as you can see. We buy the turquoise first. That’s what we go by on how wide it’s going to be, that is how we start,” he said. About three years ago, the couple took their jewelry to Navajo Arts and Crafts Enterprise and forged a relationship that continues to this day. “One day, we just went over there and they bought us out,” he

said, laughing. “They took everything. They treat us really good. Whatever price we’re asking for, we get. Julia [Hoskie] is really good to us.” They also sell their jewelry at the local flea markets. They do not enter into juried art shows, however, because the entry fees are too high. Thompson also works as a pipeline worker and is a proud member of the Pipeliners Union. “I’ve been with the union for maybe 25 years, working with the union pipeline. I sandblast a lot of pipes for coating. I do pipeline

‘Maleﬁcent: Mistress Of Evil’ looks beautiful, uses nuptials to start fairy-tale war By Glenn Kay For the Sun

RATING: OUT OF RUNNING TIME: 118 MINUTES

t has been five years since the villainess from Sleeping Beauty was updated and transformed from a malevolent and sinister force into a misunderstood and tortured soul. The resulting film was a box office success, leading to the latest chapter in the series, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. Yes, the title is a bit of a misnomer, since the central character is once again treated poorly by humankind and forced into a situation beyond her control. Kids and those who enjoyed the first film will likely enjoy what they see, but those who weren’t charmed by the original won’t find anything to convert them in this follow-up. The story picks up with Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning) and her mother, Maleficent (Angelina Jolie), still tending to the Moors, their magical homeland. When Prince Phillip (Harris Dickinson) of the human realm proposes to Aurora, she accepts and almost all of the kingdom is joyful, knowing that their two worlds will now be able to live in peace (although they were

already supposed to be doing this at the end of the previous flick). Anyway, Phillip’s mom, the sinister Queen Ingrith (Michelle Pfeiffer) uses the marriage to plot to wipe out the magical world forever. She invites Maleficent to a family dinner and sets her guest up, causing family friction and inciting a war between the two realms. It’s easy work for Ingrith, seeing as she already has an army of workers under the castle building a massive arsenal that the peaceful King (Robert Lindsay) is somehow completely unaware of. This film assumes that the viewers will remember and be very familiar with the characters from the original. For those who didn’t just watch the first film, it takes some time to catch up on who everyone is. Early on, Jolie wisely tries to infuse some humor into Maleficent as she practices how to behave nicely in the company of her in-laws. But that all changes by the end of the first act, and the remainder of the picture is decidedly more serious with little in the way of amusing jokes. Like in the first picture, the supporting characters here are archetypes that are thinly drawn, which makes the big emotional moments less involving and their highly dubious decision-making skills feel like mechanizations to move the plot forward. There’s one bit late in the film in which a group of characters are trapped

in a church with toxic fumes being shot out by a villain while the pipe organ is being played; it takes an interminable amount of time before the group realizes that their predicament might have something to do with the organist. Admittedly, some of the stranger plot elements and holes won’t really upset children in the audience, but they will be a constant issue for adults. In fact, if the protagonists had talked clearly and listened to each other regarding the tragedy, there wouldn’t be much of a movie at all. It seems that the filmmakers have to force a way into leaving Maleficent as an outcast exile, feeling hurt and broken because no one believes or trusts her. As such, viewers may feel like they have seen all of this before. One thing the film does have going for it is incredible visuals. The camera frequently flies through the wondrous fantasy world, spinning around and giving an impressive scope to the pretty environments. There is plenty of spectacle too, as the two kingdoms square off in a giant battle during the finale. However, while the fantasy domain itself is eye-catching, the magical CGI characters are a little tougher to appreciate. Yes, they are well animated, but many of them aren’t given enough to do to make an impact. The three fairies from the first

There’s just something distracting and disconcerting about seeing human faces digitized, shrunken and inserted onto computer-animated bodies. In the end, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil looks phenomenal and is filled with plenty of action and drama, but the

characters never ingratiate themselves and the story is laid out in too direct and obvious a manner to generate any real suspense. While the picture should still work for tykes, it’s unlikely that any adults thinking of going to the movies will be beguiled by what they see. www.CinemaStance.com

DVD/Blu-ray Roundup for October 18, 2019 By Glenn Kay For the Sun

t’s time for another look at highlights arriving on Blu-ray and DVD. Once again, there are a ton of titles coming in from just about every genre imaginable. So, if you can’t make it out to the movies this week, be sure to give one of these titles a try!

BIG NEW RELEASES! 3 from Hell - Those familiar with Rob Zombie’s horror flicks House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects will be excited to see this follow-up featuring the trio of psychotic killers known as the Firefly family. While they all seemingly died in the previous installment, it is revealed that the gang survived and has actually been spending the past decade behind bars. Naturally, they escape and head to Mexico, causing more violence and bloodshed. Critics were split on the third chapter in the series. Half thought that it was an effective and memorable exploitation film that would please fans. However, just as many thought this fi lm was running on fumes from the start and felt that events really petered out by the fi nale. It stars Sheri Moon Zombie, Bill Moseley, Sid Haig, Jeff Daniel Phillips, R ich a r d Br a ke a nd D e e Wallace. Already Gone - A lonely teenager and graffiti artist with an abusive stepfather decides to take steps to escape his terrible sit uat ion by stealing the family c a r. H i s dad’s girlf r i e n d decides to tag along. Not long after leaving, the pair realizes that drug money has been left in the vehicle. Even worse, their car suddenly breaks down in a small Colorado town. When they’re helped by a local artist and the girlfriend of the lead’s father falls for a man who has taken them in, jealousy builds, while the stepfather closes in. This picture received a very limited COMMUNITY

release a couple of months ago. Although there weren’t many reviews, the ones that did appear said the protagonist was likable and the material well handled. The cast includes Tyler Dean Flores, Seann William Scott and Justine Skye. The Art of Self-Defense This dark comedy involves a timid bookkeeper who is attacked on the street by a motorcycle g a n g . Feeling emasculated, he decides to join a karate school to build up some confidence and stop the attacks from ever happening again. However, as he becomes more involved in his sensei’s social circle, he begins to realize that this new world is no less disturbing, as the group embodies hyper-masculine and violent traits. The press gave this effort a lot of praise. A small contingent couldn’t get on its wavelength and wrote that it was pretty direct in its attacks. Still, the overwhelming majority had only good things to say about the feature, suggesting that it was a sharp-witted, well-acted and very unique fl ick. It features Jesse Eisenberg, Alessandro Nivola, Imogen Poots and David Zellner. At War - Also known as En Guerre in its homeland, this French foreign-language drama depicts the struggles of a group of factory employees. After signing a contract with company owners and accepting a pay-cut in order to guarantee their job safety for five more years, the executives suddenly shut down the location. A representative for the 1100 employees tries to save their jobs and fi nds out the motivation for this unexpected decision. Notices were good overall for the feature. About one quarter of them thought that while events were tense, some of the elements were bluntly presented and repetitive. Most believed that while it wasn’t subtle, the fi lm was relatable and passionately made, offering some powerful moments. Vincent Lindon and Mélanie Rover headline the feature. Crawl - Watch out for

alligators! Set in Florida during a hurricane, t h is horror picture begins with a young student rushing home to get in touch with her missing father. She arrives at his desolate and flooded out property to fi nd it overrun with alligators. The protagonist tries to locate her dad and survive the onslaught of hungry reptiles as they break in and chomp at everything in sight. This little picture surprised reviewers and earned a great deal of positive response. A small group did state that the characters did too many silly things for them to empathize with them. Still, the clear consensus was that this was a remarkably enjoyable B-movie that benefited from its menacing, toothy antagonists, and provided a non-stop barrage of thrills and chills. It stars Kaya Scodelario, Barry Pepper and Morfydd Clark.

Deviant Behavior - After playing at a horror film festival i n Tex a s , t h is i nde pendent c h i l le r i s b e i n g released as a DVD and on streami ng platforms at the same time. Harkening back to the ‘80s, it is described as a slasher pic about a masked killer on a mission to become the most attractive woman in the region. Of course, to do this, various ladies are targeted by the psychopath. A private detective hunting for the responsible party discovers the villain’s lair and attempts to put a stop to these reprehensible activities. There aren’t any reviews for this title at this time, so horror fans will just have to take a chance on it (although they may be wise to wait until others comment on its quality). Eric Rodrigue, Tania Monroy and Alex Heatherley take on the lead roles.

Devil’s Revenge - Here’s another low-budget creeper that is making its debut specifically on disc. According to the press synopsis, the feature is about an archeologist in Kentucky who returns home after a failed expedition to fi nd an ancient relic in a cave. He begins having dreams of a bird-like creature and comes to the natural and very scientific conclusion that the location must actually be a gateway to Hell. He decides to return to the site once again with his family in tow so he fi nds the item, destroys it, and saves the world. There aren’t any write-ups for this title and it sounds pretty silly, but maybe it’ll provide some laughs for viewers in the right frame of mind. The cast includes Apollo Bacala, Jason Brooks and Jackie Dallas, as well as a guest appearance from William Shatner. Doubting Thomas - When a black baby is unexpectedly born to a white couple, a

This small picture played several little fi lm festivals last year and received some positive buzz. However, it is debuting in limited release at theaters and premiering on disc at almost the same time. Right now, there don’t appear to be any critic reviews posted. Some bloggers have written that the movie is well-intentioned, but has some uneven performances and is overly somber, so those interested in the fi lm may want to approach it with caution. It features Will McFadden, Sarah Butler and Jamie Hector. Inside Lehman Brothers The U.S. housing crisis is the jumping off p o i n t fo r this documentary. A F rench jou r na l i st looks back at what happened t en yea r s ago and focuses on the bankruptcy of the Lehman Brothers global fi nancial fi rm and the global recession that followed. She attempts to determine who was responsible and the details of what happened in an effort to prevent it from happening again. Reviewers had good things to say about the information presented. One write-up didn’t care for how the information was presented. All the others thought it detailed many unheard stories and explained the turmoil very clearly, so that anyone could understand disturbing actions taken by the fi rm that wound up causing fi nancial disaster. Liam Gallagher: As It Was - Oasis was a huge rock act in the ‘90s with numerous hit albums (What’s the Story Morning Glory? being their biggest seller in these parts) and sold out arenas worldwide. In this documentary, Liam Gallagher, the lead singer and co-front man shares his story of their meteoric rise to the top of the charts. Along the

way, he details the squabbles with his brother (who served as the main songwriter in the group), as well as the various legal troubles and issues they had to overcome. It also details the artist’s solo career and success away from the group. The picture earned decent, but not exceptional marks from the press. Some commented that it was too fawning and served as little more than a promo piece for the artist. Still, many found the subject interesting and wrote that it would appeal to fans. The Lingering - This horror picture hails from Hong Kong (w he r e it was called K u Z a k) a nd tells the story of an evil spi r it. It begins with a young boy and mother spending New Year’s Eve at home and waiting for the family patriarch to come home. The child begins seeing a strange fi gure, and the night ends in tragedy. Many years later, the grown boy inherits the estate. When he returns to the house to get things in order, the visions and memories return. Unfortunately, most media outlets have yet to see this picture and online reviews from the public have been less than stellar. Most complained that it wasn’t very coherent and resorted to nothing more than an extended series of jump scares. Viewers can make up their own minds. Bob Yin-Pok Cheung and Kai-Chung Cheung headline the feature. Night Hunter - A serial killer in Minnesota who targets women is terrorizing a community in this thriller… and it seems as if some of his pursuers are a little off, too. According to the plot summary, there’s a judge who spends his nights as a vigilante, hunting down sex offenders and castrating anyone who might be responsible. A grizzled lieutenant steps in to get to the bottom of it and stop all of the violent acts being committed. Critics roundly panned this rather silly-sounding fl ick. One or two were amused by the odd twists presented. However, almost everyone else described the events depicted as ridiculous, over-the-top

and, in some sequences, unintentionally humorous. It stars Henry Cavill, Ben Kingsley, Alexandra Daddario, Stanley Tucci, and Nathan Fillion. Pig Hag - In this independent comedy/drama, a woman in her mid3 0 s fe e l s pressure from those around her t o f i n a l ly settle down and start a fa mily. At a concert, she thinks she may have found the right man, but soon realizes that his intentions are not the same as hers. The protagonist discusses her problems with gay friends, who try to coach her on what to do next. In the process, they all attempt to deal with concepts and societal expectations placed upon women. This small film earned some positive reaction from reviewers. The general comments were that it was a sweet indie movie with well-drawn characters that does a thoughtful job of raising several gender issues. The cast includes Anna Schlegel, Tony Jacksha and Nate Stoner. Stuber - This action/comedy follows a weak-willed, mild-mannered Uber driver who picks up the gruffest of passengers. His fare turns out to be a hardened, violent cop who has just undergone eye surgery. When the detective gets a big lead on a murder case, he insists on being chauffeured around the city to meet with various witnesses and criminals, pulling the driver into a series of extraordinarily dangerous situations. This buddy film split the press, with slightly more panning the film than praising it. Those who enjoyed the film suggested that after a rocky start, it found its feet and the interplay between the two leads delivered plenty of laughs. The rest just didn’t find the gags funny and suggested that nothing much about it stood out. It features Dave Bautista, Kumail Nanjiani, Mira Sorvino, Natalie Morales, Iko Uwais, Betty Gilpin and Karen Gillan. Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans - This animated superhero entry featuring the Teen Titans (as seen in the 2018 theatrical release, Teen Titans Go! to the Movies) features young and old versions of Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven and Starfire squaring off against each other. Of course, they soon learn that they have been manipulated by sinister forces into fighting themselves and must work

together to stop the villains. This follow-up to the movie was made exclusively for the Blu-ray/DVD market, so there haven’t been many write-ups yet. However, the ones that have appeared are upbeat. They say that like the TV series and previous movie, the flick is a lot of fun and mixes superhero antics with laughs in equal measure. The voice-cast includes Scott Menville, Greg Cipes, Khary Payton, Tara Strong, Hynden Walch, Rhys Darby and Weird Al Yankovic.

BLASTS FROM THE PAST! It’s another jam-packed week of releases for fans of older titles. Arrow is releasing Killer Nun (1979) as a Blu-ray Special Edition. Believe it or not, there is an entire genre of horror films called "nunsploitation" films and this release is one of the most famous titles. It’s an Italian flick about a psychotic, drug-addicted nun victimizing all those serving under her. The disc includes a 2K restoration of the feature from the original camera negative, a new commentary from Italian genre film experts, a video essay on “nunsploitation” movies, as well as interviews with the director, the editor and actress Ileana Fraia. You’ll also get Italian and international trailers, an image gallery and a collector’s booklet. If low-budget martial arts pictures are more to your liking, you might want to give the MVD Collector’s Edition Blu-ray of My Samurai (1992) a try. The story involves a young boy who witnesses a gang shooting and turns to martial arts to help defend him against a group of mobsters. This release comes with the extended cut of the film and the original R-rated version. There are also new interviews with the stars and cast members, a photo gallery and trailer present on the disc. AGFA is putting out a 2-disc Blu-ray and DVD Special Edition of Scary Movie (1991). It’s a little comedy/horror film about a young man who begins to believe that an escaped madman is hiding in a neighborhood house of horrors. The film barely got released outside of a few film festival screenings, but has become a curio due to the fact that the star was a young John Hawkes, who has since become a well-respected and Oscar-nominated performer. This set includes a 2K preservation of the movie from the original 16mm camera negative, as well as a director commentary, two short flicks from the filmmaker,

a teaser trailer, and some behindthe-scenes photos. The Leg Fighters (1980) aka The Invincible Kung Fu Legs aka Nan Bei Tui Wang is an independent martial arts film from Hong Kong starring Tao-Liang Tan that has developed a cult following over the years. VCI has a Blu-ray of the feature under their new imprint, The Pearl Collection. They’ve given the kung-fu flick a new 2K restoration from an original 35mm Chinese print and have packed the disc with extras. You’ll get a segment showing original film memorabilia and behind the scenes photos, a discussion with Dan Halsted (curator of Portland’s Hollywood Theater Kung Fu Night), an audio commentary by filmmaker, actor and Kung Fu Film fan Michael Worth, the original theatrical trailer to Nam’s The Hot, The Cool and The Vicious, and a visit with director Lee Tso Nam Shout! Factory always has something interesting coming around and this week is no exception as they present an elaborate Deluxe Edition box set called The Omen Collection (1976 - 2006). As you might have guessed, it includes The Omen (1976), Damien: Omen II (1978), The Final Conflict (1981), the TV movie, Omen IV: The Awakening (1991), and the 2006 remake of the original. For those unfamiliar with the series, the 1976 original from Richard Donner (Superman, The Goonies, Lethal Weapon) is a genre masterpiece that should be on the shelf of any horror movie buff. The sequel also has some enjoyable moments. The third chapter is weaker, but features Sam Neill in an early role as the grown-up Damien Thorne. The TV movie and remake both have their fans, although this reviewer wouldn’t count himself among them. The set looks incredibly impressive, including a 4K transfer of the 1976 classic from the original negative, new interviews with cast and crew members, a new audio commentary with a special project consultant, and all of the previously released features including three separate audio commentaries with the director, director and editor, and film historians. And that’s not all. The other movies come with new bonus interviews and images along with all the old goods on the other features as well. In fact, there are more extras in this set than can possibly be listed here. If you’re in any way curious about

NAVAJO | FROM PAGE 20 coating and a lot of labor work. It looks like I’m old, but I can keep up with these young people,” he said. As a silversmith, he is equally industrious with his wife, and said they can create 13 bracelets in the span of about two days, working nine hours a day. Thompson is currently teaching the family trade to his grandson, who can now make rings and small jewelry pieces. His three daughters did not have an interest in making jewelry, but he is determined to pass the tradition on to his grandkids. “I’m trying to pass it on. I tell

them to learn it. I’m not going to be around and they need to learn,” he said in Navajo. The secret to happiness is being positive, according to Thompson. “Be positive, don’t be negative. Don’t look back, you have to look forward. Look forward at what’s ahead. Don’t dwell on your past. Be happy and be kind to one another, tied with K’é,” he said. Daily prayer is important, he said, adding that praying for your home, kids, grandkids and even your meals is important. “Pray about how you’re going to make your jewelry, that’s what I think, that’s my philosophy,” he said.

director Thorold Dickerson, as well as a 1968 intro by filmmaker Dickerson. Kino has another Special Edition in the form of the UK thriller, The Mind Benders (1963). You’ll find a film historian audio commentary and a trailer on this disc. If modern comedy/dramas are more to your liking, you can pick up A Simple Twist of Fate (1994) on Blu-ray with Steve Martin. This disc includes a trailer. And the studio is putting out the thriller, Sudden Terror (1970), about a boy who witnesses an assassination and then must go on the run with his sister before he is hunted down by the killers. This Special Edition Blu-ray includes filmmaker and movie critic commentaries, trailers, and an interview with the star. Warner Archive is releasing something special this week through their made-to-order Bluray line. The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967) is a great little satire about a professor and his assistant who travel to an enormous castle in Transylvania and do battle

with the vampire Count Krolock and his undead pals. This effort from director/co-writer/co-star Roman Polanski is very funny and has been out-of-print for over a decade. It’s nice to finally see it make its Blu-ray debut. Speaking of horror, Haxan (1922) is arriving on Blu-ray courtesy of Criterion. This interesting film from Sweden and Denmark takes a different approach to horror and presents its findings in a fictionalized documentary form. Rather than presenting demonic terrors, it’s split into segments that detail witchcraft through the ages and detail all of the irrational fears and hysteria that have been levied on the order. The movie has been given a new 2K digital restoration, is presented with music from the 1922 Danish premiere and includes a film scholar audio commentary. You’ll also get an abbreviated version of the feature released in 1968, a director introduction, outtakes and other extras. And there’s more. Oscilloscope is presenting a Blu-ray of The
