Abby and Owen talk like normal kids and convey even more through their fleeting glances and accidental physical contact. Their relationship is potent and oddly sensual yet never suggestive or seedy. Audiences who think the “Twilight” movies represent the high-water mark for vampire flicks or anyone easily rattled will want to stay far away from “Let Me In.” This isn’t a bloodless, sugar-coated movie with model-ready vampires that sparkle and engage in Harlequin novel-grade romances. It is a visceral, fearsome, unwavering and thoroughly throttling thriller that will jar your psyche and will render you spent. (Overture)

It’s less noticeable with live-action fiction where there is one storyline with a constant lead character (“Four Rooms”), or interconnecting themes (“New York, I Love You”) performed by overlapping casts.

son’s name will ultimately determine how successful they are in life. Arguments are made, examples are presented and right at the point where a conclusion should be drawn, they pull the rug out and punk us. It’s not names, stupid, its lifestyle and environment that control our destinies. Gotcha! In a quasi-related piece, facts and figures are tossed about suggesting that a dip in the U.S. crime rate in the early ’90s was a direct result of the legalization of abortion in the early ’70s. While possible and somewhat likely, there is no tangible evidence present-

ed to back up this theory. One theory that does seem easy to prove with hard facts ends up being a wash out. Getting the idea after successfully rewarding his daughter to begin toilet training, Dubner is certain that bribing urban teens with cash if they improve their bad grades will provide them with an incentive to hit the books. At best, this experiment is inconclusive and carries with it just the slightest whiff of racism. Showing up in the middle is Alex Gibney’s piece on the dark and sinister world of Japanese Sumo Wrestling. Presented with the slick style of a “Front-

line” or “60 Minutes” expose, this segment compares the graft and cheating taking place in the sport featuring large, sweaty Asian men to the Bernie Madoff scandal. Huh? It would have made infinitely more sense to liken this situation to another similar corrupt and fixed athletic/entertainment enterprise: professional U.S. wrestling. Half-baked theories and educated conjecture might have worked well on the printed page but slapping something together in a movie just because you can makes little sense — economic or otherwise.

★★ ★★★ You would think with such star power this would have been a great movie. The problem is the same plot line is Chris used three Weinert times. The conflicts are the same for mom, daughter and, at last second, granny. As a comedy it fails, as the laughs are forced and far between. The climax is ripped off from “27 Dresses,” which was a much better film. The actors try to work with what they have, but the director is so choppy in the filming that none

of them can shine. The meanness level between the characters was painful to watch. The ending was a relief more than anything else and too predictable. Wait until this one is on DVD, which will be real soon. It is great for a rainy day when you want to nap. — Chris Weinert, Lawrenceville

★★★ ★★ A revenge comedy, in which Marni (Kristen Bell) learns that her cruel high school nemesis, Joanna (Odette Yustman), is Gail Nunezmarrying Blackshear her beloved brother, Will (James Wolk). Other well-know actors like Jamie Lee Curtis as Marni’s mom, Sigourney Weaver as Joanna’s aunt, Betty

White as Marni’s grandmother and Cloris Leachman as her rival round out this comedic cast. There are three generations of high school rivalry between these women and we see flashbacks to the beginning of each rivalry. As the women matured, their high school roles reversed and the unpopular made themselves successful, thus becoming overachievers and to themselves popular and the reverse for the popular cheerleaders who are now the homely types. But old habits die hard and old behaviors resurface when each meets her nemesis. Each of them trying to outdo the other and causing comedic battles. I enjoyed the cast of female actors and this made for an enjoyable chick flick. See it on girls’ night for some laughs. — Gail Nunez-Blackshear, Lawrenceville

Local cities offering tours of historic hauntings BY DEANNA ALLEN STAFF WRITER deanna.allen@gwinnettdailypost.com

With rich histories spanning well over a century, Lawrenceville and Norcross each have their share of strange stories of unexplainable occurrences. What better time to explore the chilling side of local history than leading up to Halloween? Stories of ghostly presences, eerie occurrences and unexplainable phenomena are the focus of tours that will take guests on evening strolls through the historic downtown areas of both cities. An early railroad town, Norcross is steeped in history and along with that has come a history of hauntings and what local historian Sally Toole calls an “active afterlife,” one she has detailed in a recently released book, “Souls of Norcross; A Railroad

Tours invite guests to spend an evening exploring the city and its haunting history. Family-friendly tours that are appropriate for children will be given at 7 p.m. followed by tours for adults and teens at 8 and 9 on select nights through October. One of the oldest cities in metro Atlanta, Lawrenceville’s history is rife with colorful characters, some more humorous than horrifying and others of a more sinister nature. A 90-minute walk through downtown led by costumed storytellers will introduce guests to local legends, historic sites and a few places believed to be haunted. If the resident ghost allows, guests will be able to step inside the former jail for a potentially firsthand supernatural experience. The Lawrenceville Ghost Tours, which are family-friendly, will be offered nightly throughout the month of October.

New to this year’s pumpkin festival is the opportunity to dress a scarecrow with crazy hair and quirky clothes, as well as a scavenger hunt for adults.

Suwanee author publishes seventh mystery novel Author Lee Martin has traveled far from the West Virginia coal fields where he grew up. Although he received a B.A. in the relatively laid-back subject of English, he later became a recipient of the Bronze Star, the Combat Infantryman’s Cross and the Vietnamese Gallantry Cross for his service to this country. Now a resident of Suwanee, Martin has taken all these life experiences and written seven mystery novels, which have been received with great enthusiasm. These books include “The Third Moon is Blue,” “Starbright,” “The Six Mile Inn,” “Wolf Laurel,” “Ten Minutes Till Midnight,” “Valiant” and the new “Provocation,” a sequel to the popular “Wolf Laurel.” Martin also has an eighth

of a horrible crime in Denver. The author’s variety of characters and settings is the product of pure imagination. “When I come up with an idea for a book, the story could simply be something that popped into my mind after reading an article or watching a movie or newscast,” Martin said. “Of novel in the works, titled “A course, it will only be an Hateful Wind.” His novels idea; the story itself is fully are set in a variety of places a product of my imaginaand his antagonists range tion. I then start to build it from the passionately driven on paper, diagram the plot Bruce McGowan of “Wolf and create characters. I love Laurel” and “Provocation” to create characters. My to historical figures from characters are bits and 18th-century Charleston, pieces of personalities I S.C., in “The Sixth Mile have known in my life.

acters ... love them or hate them. “I write about what I know. That includes the places where I have lived or visited. That’s why I set three of my novels in my old home state of West Virginia. It makes it easier for me to set the scene when I remember an area so vividly. Whatever you read, you’ll feel like you’re there and that you know the people personally.” Martin’s illustrious military career has been reflected in his writings. “My military service exposed me to a myriad of interesting scenarios. It also allowed me as a young leader to understand the dimensions of human nature: fear, courage, hostility, motivation and immense sadness,” he said. “More-

over, it gave me an opportunity to travel, see places and do things that I would never have done otherwise. It was partly the experience of the above emotions and happenings that compelled me to start writing. Perhaps releasing some of these feelings and emotions experienced in both battle and training scenarios as a commander stuck with me and the weaving of such into my novels provided for a catharsis. At least Sigmund Freud might say that. “I did weave several of my experiences as a special ops adviser to Vietnamese regulars and Montagnard tribes into a couple of my novels. “As such training and tours of duty allowed me to be an elitist, I’ve had experiences that the average non-combat soldier did not.

It was for the most part exciting being in a combat theater. I don’t know of any other time when my senses were so keen or that I felt more alive and contributing. Although I don’t speak of such matters very much, I have never forgotten the experiences. Yes, they do end up in some of my works of fiction, like in ‘Wolf Laurel,’ ‘The Third Moon is Blue’ and a manuscript yet to be published called ‘A Hateful Wind.’” Readers can find Martin’s books for purchase online at his website, www.leemartinbooks.com, or by visiting www.amazon.com or www.barnesandnoble.com.

Darryl Worley brings his patriotism to Wild Bill’s BY DEANNA ALLEN STAFF WRITER deanna.allen @gwinnettdailypost.com

In early November, Darryl Worley will join his hometown of Savannah, Tenn., in celebrating the opening of a cancer treatment facility named in his honor. It’s a project the country singer was instrumental in making happen. “ T h e cancer treatment Darryl center is Worley very near and dear to my heart because my family seems to have been attacked by that disease over the past 40 years,” he said. “That’s where that passion comes from.” Both of his grandfathers died from the disease — Worley remembered them spend hours traveling long distances for treatment. “It was one of those experiences you just never forget,” he said. “It stays with you.” Thanks to Worley and the support of the local community, Savannah residents will now be able to seek treatment right at home, much sooner than Worley imagined. “I didn’t really expect to see it come to fruition in my lifetime,” Worley

admitted. “I thought, ‘Well, this will be a work I’ll start now and it will materialize somewhere down the road,’ but it happened a lot faster than I thought it would.” While the Darryl Worley Cancer Treatment Center is one of the musician’s most notable philanthropic contributions, he is also a strong supporter of U.S. troops. Again, there is a family connection. “There’s a ton of military in our family on both sides,” he said. Worley’s support of U.S. troops and his patriotism carries over into his music — his post-9/11 song “Have You Forgotten” reminds listeners of the tragedy that befell that fateful September morning. An acoustic version of that 2002 hit will appear on a new six-disc release titled “God & Country,” which also features the controversial “Keep the Change,” the first single that hit radio airwaves and was then pulled off many stations’ play lists.

“It stirred up a lot more controversy than anything we would have ever expected,” Worley said. “Some of the people out there were really afraid of the song because they said they felt like it was pointed directly at the president of the United States and we’d written it to bash him and all this other garbage. “That was not what we intended that song to be,” Worley said. “It’s written about a lot of things that have changed over the past 40 to 50 years as far as I’m concerned.” Despite not being heard on the radio, Worley’s fans can hear “Keep the Change” during his live shows, including a performance tonight at Wild Bill’s in Duluth. “There’s a lot of people down (south) that got a chance to hear that song and I’m sure they’ll be looking forward to hearing it live,” he said. Along with “Keep the Change,” Worley will perform songs fans have come to expect. “We do all the hits, of course, and I’ve tried to design the show so that it don’t just drag along,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of the album cuts, the fun songs people remember. “I don’t think anybody will feel like they didn’t get their money’s worth,” he said of tonight’s show. “We’re excited about coming back (to Duluth).”
