FIRENADO (2023) Disaster crime movie – trailer and release news

‘Destroying everything it touches’ Firenado is a 2023 British disaster movie about scientists trying to deal with a fire tornado and an organised crime home invasion. Co-directed and co-produced by Rhys Frake-Waterfield (Bambi: The Reckoning; Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2; Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare; Rise of the Loch Ness; Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey; Sky Monster) and Scott…

Today in Music History (May 18, 1982): Jeffrey Osborne releases his solo debut album.  Before that, Jeffrey Osborne was the lead singer of Love Togetherness and Devotion (later shortened to L.T.D.), one the best and most popular self-contained Soul groups of the 70s.  Other members include Carle Vickers (trumpet/sax/flute), Toby Wynn (sax), Abraham "Onion" Miller (sax), Arthur Lorenzo Carnegie (sax, flute, guitar), Jeffrey (drums and vocals), and brother Billy Osborne (keyboards), Henry Davis (bass, flute, keyboards), Jimmy Davis (keyboards and musical director), guitarist Johnny McGhee and horn player Jake Riley.L.T.D. landed a #1 Soul hit in 1976 with the now-classic love song "Love Ballad" (later remade, in discofied format, by George Benson) and the album Love to the World.  They topped the charts again the following year with the funky dance cut "Back In Love Again" and the #1 album Something To Love. The group continued to score over the next three years with a series of wonderful Osborne ballads, including "Stranger," "Where Did We Go Wrong" and "We Both Deserve Each Other's Love."Throughout the L.T.D. albums, Jeffrey Osborne became a larger and larger presence. His debut album would begin a career as a solo artist that surpassed even his work with L.T.D. The album features radio-friendly ballads like "On The Wings of Love" and "Congratulations," an emotional song of loss that remains one of his most requested tracks.

The Ghosts Of Borley Rectory: Britain’s Most Famous Ghost Hunter

3/5          Written by Luke Barnes Summary Famed paranormal investigator Harry Price, played by Toby Wynn-Davis, investigates the most haunted house in the UK, Borley Rectory. In many ways this is what you would expect from a straight to DVD film, it is cheap, derivative and looks slightly better than what a decidedly average film studies student may create for an assignment.

“I’m officially requisitioning this chicken”: ‘Justified’ Season 1, Episodes 6-9

As we move into the second half of Justified’s first season, things are heating up all over Kentucky. We get more insight into the operations of the Crowder clan, plus some even larger adversaries who’ll come into play further down the line. These notes cover Episodes 6 through 9, the next batch will be 10-12, with the finale getting its own entry. Notes on the pilot are here and Episodes 2-5 can be found here. Drop me a line any time-- if I could be sitting next to you in a dive bar, I would be. (Not much for Jim Beam, though, or, if I’m being honest, bourbon in general, owing to some unfortunate shenanigans in my early 20s. Mine’s a Jameson and ginger ale, with a squeeze of lime.)

Episode Six: “The Collection”

-We open with Raylan visiting Boyd, on his feet again after the shooting, and Boyd bending Raylan’s ear about his newfound ministry. Raylan doesn’t buy it for a minute, and he asks Boyd for dirt on Arlo.

-Raylan passes along Johnny Crowder’s warning to Ava about Bo-- she’s not overly concerned. Art, coming to pick Raylan up for the day’s work, is not terribly pleased to find Ava in his motel room.

-Case of the week: civil forfeiture, centering on a man named Owen Carnes trying to offload paintings purchased with stolen cash. Art and Raylan pick up a gallery owner, Karl Hanselman (Robert Picardo) in Cincinnati, and drive him down to Carnes’ place. Carnes and the gallery owner begin discussing his collection of Hitler paintings. Art, in disbelief, asks, “You mean Adolf?”

-Raylan, disgusted, wanders out and finds Carnes’ wife, who doesn’t seem particularly surprised or upset at the turn of events. I have in my notes “another blonde in trouble Jesus Raylan”--there’s nothing untoward, but... dude.

-On the way back to Cincinnati, Hanselman tells Raylan, with a smirk, to come see his “collection” any time. Raylan, never one to mince words- “I’d rather stick my dick in a blender.”

-Raylan finally meets ADA Vasquez, after some folderol at the office involving the now very dead Owen Carnes. Later, Winona shows up, asking Raylan to run a list of names through various criminal databases. Raylan visits Gary, and informs him that if Winona comes to grief through association with any of Gary’s shady dealings, Gary’s going to make another enemy.

-Back at the Carnes place, Raylan unravels the scam Caryn Carnes and the horse trainer, Greg Davis, are trying to pull-- he knows Owen didn’t kill himself, and he pulls Davis to his side by telling him, in an abstract way, about Gary, and how many more people he might have to kill. “Where will it end?” he asks.

-Finally, he goes to see Hanselman, and reluctantly agrees to see ‘the collection’. This is a great moment- the camera stays on Hanselman and Raylan as H. explains how his father used to work for Hitler, “a very charismatic man who knew who was to blame”. After the war, dad recanted publicly, but held onto his repugnant views in private. The camera then shows us shelves of glass jars filled with ash-- Hanselman has been tracking down Hitler’s paintings and burning them, in revenge.

-Raylan goes to see Boyd, and asks him to forget about Arlo. “I met a man whose whole life was crippled,” he explains. “I’m just going to let that old dog lie.”

Episode Seven: “Blind Spot”

-We open with Ava in the hardware store. Johnny Crowder comes in and loudly asks the proprietor for some specialty items-- rope, duct tape, plastic sheeting, and a shovel, on orders from the soon-to-be released Bo Crowder. Aunt Helen sees his bluff and raises him, aiming a shotgun at him-- a warning he wisely heeds.

-Later, Raylan visits Ava and she talks about Bowman, explaining that things weren’t miserable all the time. “I keep going back and forth, between light and dark,” she tells him. Just as they’re getting comfy, a masked intruder bursts in, blasting away, but Raylan manages to wrestle him out through the open second-floor window, firing off a few shots.

-Sheriff Mosley takes Raylan to question Johnny Crowder. On the drive, he explains his beef with the Crowders-- a certain Henry, widely known as ‘the good Crowder’, raped and killed Mosley’s ten-year-old niece. Johnny, for his part, knows nothing about the shooting, and confesses his affection for Ava.

-the next morning, we see a man watching Ava outside the Harlan County Sheriff’s Office. We then catch up to the actual shooter-- a cringing kid called Red, and we get a name for Ava’s watcher, Mr. Duke.

-Raylan gets chewed out by Art, since he has now literally tampered with the investigation against Boyd Crowder-- “Were you in her bedroom?” Unusually, Raylan has no smarty rejoinder.

-Ava and Winona share a strained conversation in the courthouse-- “You ever get tangled up with a law enforcement officer?” Winona asks. They’re interrupted by Sheriff Mosley, who asks Ava to come with him.

-Raylan visits Boyd, looking for answers. After a false start, Boyd explains that Bo didn’t order Ava to be shot, and plants a flea in Raylan’s ear-- what if Ava wasn’t the target?

-Answers arrive quickly: Mosley is in cahoots with the Miami cartel. Duke was supposed to kill Raylan, but, since Duke isn’t familiar with Kentucky, Mosley supplied Red. Mosley shoots Duke to prevent his mistake being exposed, and hatches a plan to bring Raylan to the cartel. Red, driving a bound and gagged Ava, gleefully expounds on Ava’s desirability among the straight men of Harlan County. Ava frees herself enough to strangle him, and the chase ends with Raylan and Ava free and Mosley under arrest. In a passing comment, Mosley brings up the Dixie Mafia, and their current alliance with Miami.

-Finally, we meet Bo Crowder (M.C. Gainey). Boyd’s ongoing conversations with Raylan have not gone unnoticed by his fellow inmates, and just as they start beating on him for being a snitch, Bo intervenes. “It’s good to see you, Daddy,” Boyd says with a smile.

Episode Eight, “Blowback”

-At a diner in Lexington, the newly-released Bo slides into a booth with Ava. He’s out early courtesy of Mosley’s arrest, and he delivers a truly nasty innuendo about ‘homemade pie’ before Raylan arrives on the scene.

-Case of the week: a prisoner, Cal Wallace (Deadwood’s W. Earl Brown), is in Lexington for a few hearings, pending transfer to a ‘supermax’ facility.

-Winona arrives home in the middle of the afternoon, to find an unexpected guest-- Wynn Duffy (Jere Burns), self-styled ‘home security consultant’ and possessor of a luxuriant blond coiffure. Right away, Winona smells a rat, and sends Duffy packing, but not before he snidely sends his regards to Gary.

-Prisoner Wallace places the Marshals’ Office under a hostage situation, and Art tells Raylan that if he gets a clear shot, he should take it. Raylan, due for a meeting with Vasquez, begins chatting with Wallace, attempting to defuse the situation. Wallace is a colorful sort-- he has no particular illusions about escape or amnesty. Eventually, Raylan teases out that Wallace is furious with the prison system for dehumanizing him, and under mounting pressure, offers Wallace some fried chicken, sending Tim Gutterson out to get it before Lexington SWAT arrives.

-Winona confronts Gary about Duffy’s visit-- he initially tries to play dumb, but then gets irritated when he realizes how much she knows. Duffy was on the list of names that Winona gave to Raylan in E6.

-Another parable from the Book of Raylan Givens: “People in terrible situations stay alive not because they think things will get better, but because they want to see how the story ends.” For now, Cal Wallace’s story ends in fried chicken, a shot of bourbon, and not dying on the carpet.

-Unfortunately for Raylan, he still has to meet with Vasquez, who brings bad news: thanks to Raylan hopping into bed with Ava, the case against Boyd Crowder has essentially disappeared. Raylan goes to greet an ebullient Boyd. “Who are any of us to fight the will of God?” Boyd proclaims. Raylan promises that he’ll see Boyd locked up again before long, as Boyd practically skips into his father’s arms.

Episode Nine: “Hatless”

-Raylan, on a week’s suspension, is drinking away his sorrows when he eavesdrops on two bros talking derogatorily about women. “I didn’t order assholes with my whiskey”, he sneers, and all three go outside. Hilariously, it’s the middle of the afternoon. In short order, Raylan gets the tar kicked out of him, and one of the troublemakers even steals his hat. Winona, who he was supposed to meet, finds him on the ground. (One has to wonder how many times she found him in these exact circumstances.)

-at Raylan’s motel, Winona asks him about Duffy as she tends to his wounds. As yet, he doesn’t know much, but it paints an unpleasant picture.

-Gary, meanwhile, goes to visit his old college friend Toby, a former football star. He’s trying to worm money out of him, but Toby tells him he can’t spare any. He offers, instead, to provide a little intimidation.

-Raylan tracks down Duffy in his shabby office. Duffy’s lackey makes a few menacing remarks, and Raylan, his face still raw from the bar fight, calmly says, “I already got one ass-kicking; I’m not looking for another”, but mentions that if Duffy goes after Gary and Winona, they’ll have more to discuss. After Raylan leaves, Duffy orders his pal to tail him and ‘put him in the ground’.

-Duffy makes a phone call to his boss, a Mr. Arnett, asking him for more instructions. Gary shows up with Toby, who gets slightly carried away with his role as a heavy. Gary, meanwhile, blabbers on about how Arnett could double his money on the land deal if he just waits.

-And it’s our buddy Arnold Pinter, back from a disappointing sojourn in Tahiti. (An aside: in my experience after more than a decade in NY, there are few people more parochial than born-and-raised Brooklynites. And, y’know, fair dues, it’s a great place, but it’s really fucking funny to this Montanan.) Pinter gives Raylan the rundown on Duffy and Arnett-- Arnett is with the Dixie Mafia, operating out of Frankfort, and Duffy is a dangerous loose cannon.

-Raylan tracks down Duffy’s sidekick Billy, who turns out not to be so tough on his own-- he reveals that Duffy plans to kidnap Winona that very night. Raylan immediately goes to get Winona. On the drive to safety, she tries to explain why she’s with Gary, and says maybe the most devastating thing she’s said so far, “I needed a little hope in my life.”

-After a talk, Raylan and Gary go to confront Duffy and Arnett. Gary offers Arnett the deed to his proposed ‘shopping destination’, and to everyone’s surprise, Arnett accepts. Duffy quite literally goes ballistic, screaming at Arnett, “Show me the Benjamins the homies are always rapping about!” But cooler heads (eventually) prevail, and Raylan takes Gary back to Winona.

-Finally, Raylan recovers his stolen hat, thanks to the bartender. He mocks the thief, saying, “That’s a ten-gallon hat on a twenty-gallon head.”

TARO written and directed by Ross McGregor Brockley Jack Studio Theatre, 15th Jan-16th Feb 2019 In Rep. with ‘Gentleman Jack.’ “It is superb” ★★★★★ A few years ago, my dad said to me, “you know your great grandfather designed and built Ribbentrop’s Country house. Even imported the bricks from Germany”. “You mean Von Ribbentrop? The Nazi? Friend of Adolf Hitler?” “That’s the feller”. “Why didn’t you tell me before?” “Didn’t think you’d be interested. Don’t know a lot about it. There was a photograph album. Lots of pictures of the house and Ribbentrop saluting, looking very pleased with himself. The album got destroyed by a V2 at the end of the war.” Fortunately for us many of the extraordinary war photographs taken by Gerda Taro have been preserved for us either by newspapers or museums. Ross McGregor, in this quite remarkable and riveting piece of theatre, tells the story of Gerda Taro. Gerda was born Gerta Pohorylle. A German Jew she moved to France in the ‘30s. There she met Endre Friedman, a fellow Jew, who introduced her to the art of photography. Anti Semitism in Paris pursued them both. For purely commercial reasons they both changed their names. Gerta to Gerda and Endre to the now extraordinarily famous name of Robert Capa. Both left to cover the Spanish Civil war. In 1937, at the age of 26, Gerda Taro was crushed by a republican tank. Capa went on to become one of the most renowned war photographers of all time. We now know (thanks to a huge amount of negatives discovered in Mexico City in 2007) that a lot of Capa’s most seminal shots should have been attributed to Taro. McGregor tells the story with a typically remarkable precision in this fast paced and kaleidoscope production. He is aided by his Arrows and Traps’ company who put in a remarkable ensemble performance. It seems invidious to highlight individual performances but Cornelia Baumann and Tom Hartill put in electrifying work at the heart of the piece. The movement work of Matthew Parker is quite superb. (I really don’t know whether to describe this as Parker’s ‘day job’, given that he runs the Hope in Islington; that powerhouse of a theatre producing some of the finest work in London.) At one point he asks the company to represent ‘Flint’ the bird. I must admit, as they were doing this, I thought of my days at Drama school and my dreadful attempts at Masque work. Yet here Toby Wynn- Davies’ becomes, in a most extraordinary way, ‘Flint’. (and who wouldn’t love a man who lists himself as a ‘founding member of a quasi-Latvian troupe of fire breathing clowns’) Alastair Lax soundscape serves the piece brilliantly. As does Ben Jacob’s lighting design. McGregor is quite right to regard this as one of his best pieces of theatre. It is superb. I urge you to see it. As a footnote to the country house that my grandfather built. It is now owned by a Jewish family who said recently, “to be honest it’s great knowing that Hitler’s Fascist foreign minister would be turning in his grave”.

Arrows and Traps latest production Female Firsts presents two plays in rep; Gentleman Jack about queer icon Anne Lister and Shooting the Light about the less well know Gerda Taro, companion of the photographer Robert Capa (Tom Hartill) who took many of the photographs attributed to him and even inspired their name changes as they sort to hide their Jewish identity in 1930s Europe.

Ross McGregor’s writing acknowledges that audiences may not have the background knowledge of this young woman, who died aged 26 after a tank hit her car during the Spanish Civil War and presents her life as a flashback as Lucy Ioannu plays the ghost of Gerda who with the help of her icon Greta Garbo (Beatrice Vincent) produces a film of her life. Cordelia Baumann plays Taro in life, from a schoolgirl who witnesses her mother’s antisemitic attack to a confident woman who abandons her lover Capa to seek photographs and adventure on her own.

I liked the simplicity of this production, cast in matching grey dungarees with accessories to clearly define who was who and a coherent story about this woman who lives life as a refugee going from the Parisian arts scene to war-torn Spain, Ben Jacobs lighting design creating a clear sense of time and place, never finding a anywhere she can call home. When she reunites with Capa, her lover and mentor he offers her a glimpse into a life she never got to have; wars but also taking control of his photographs, something Taro worked hard to ensure he was paid appropriately when she was alive.

There is some great support with Beatrice Vincent as Garbo, Tom Hartill as Capa and Alex Stevens as David Seymour, the man who was with her in death and like Capa dies in the war zone but this is really about Baumann, who provided strong support in Dracula, taking the lead of a difficult and complex character, independent but also dependent on Capa, sentimental about her Jewish background but also quick to be seen as gentile. Ioannou as Taro in death and in childhood with Toby Wynn-Davies as her father shows the importance these men had on her life and how she was keen to leave their shadow.

As ever this is a really strong and interesting production, about a less well-known woman and left me wanting to find out more about her and her short life, from the Arrow and Traps team and as ever I look forward to seeing what they do next.

Taro and Gentleman Jack were on until 16 February. Please see the Arrows and Traps website for future projects https://www.arrowsandtraps.com/
