In his elegiac debut, Anton Corbijn combines the music film with the social drama to stunning success. Based on Deborah Curtis's clear-eyed biography, Touching from a Distance, Control recounts the wrenching tale of a working-class lad about to hit the highest highs only to be waylaid by the lowest lows. Born and raised in Macclesfield, a suburban community outside Manchester, Ian Curtis (newcomer Sam Riley in a remarkable performance) dreams of fronting a band. Just out of high school in the mid-1970s, he finds three like minds with whom he forms post-punk quartet Warsaw--better known as Joy Division (Riley and castmates ably recreate their somber sound). All the while, he falls in love, marries, and fathers a child with Deborah (Samantha Morton, turning a thankless role into a triumph). While Curtis should be enjoying parenthood and newfound fame, he's plagued by seizures. A diagnosis of epilepsy leads to powerful medications with unpredictable side effects. Then, while on tour, he falls in love with another woman. His solution to these problems is a matter of public record, but Corbijn concentrates on Curtis's life rather than his death. Just as Control establishes a link between such disparate black and white works as fellow photographer Bruce Weber's Let's Get Lost and kitchen-sink classics like The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, the Dutch-born, UK-based director presents his subject not as some iconic T-shirt image, but as a deeply flawed--if massively talented--human being. --Kathleen C.

The Constant Gardener is the kind of thriller that hasn't been seen since the 1970s: Smart, politically complex, cinematically adventurous, genuinely thrilling and even heartbreaking. Mild diplomat Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes, The English Patient, Schindler's List) has a loose cannon of a wife named Tessa (Rachel Weisz, The Shape of Things, The Mummy), who's digging into the dirty doings of a major pharmaceutical company in Kenya. Her brutal murder forces Justin to continue her investigation down some deadly avenues. This simple plot description doesn't capture the rich texture and slippery, sinuous movement of The Constant Gardener, superbly directed by Fernando Meirelles (Oscar-nominated for his first film, City of God). Shifting back and forth in time, the movie skillfully captures the engaging romance between Justin and Tessa (Fiennes shows considerably more chemistry with Weisz than he had with Jennifer Lopez in Maid in Manhattan) and builds a vivid, gripping, and all-too-justified paranoia. And on top of it all, the movie is beautiful, due to both its incredible shots of the African landscape (which at times is haunting and unearthly) and the gorgeous cinematography. Featuring an all-around excellent cast, including Bill Nighy (Love Actually), Pete Postlethwaite (In the Name of the Father), and Danny Huston (Silver City). --Bret Fetzer

LOS ANGELES ? Michael Jackson has given up title to his Neverland ranch, transferring the deed to a company he partly controls. The singer filed a grant deed on the ranch Monday that makes the new owner an entity called the Sycamore Valley Ranch Co. LLC, Tom Pearson of the Santa Barbara County clerk-recorder's office said Wednesday. Sycamore Valley Ranch Co. is a joint venture between Jackson and an affiliate of Colony Capital LLC, according to a person with knowledge of the transaction who was not authorized to speak on the record and requested anonymity. The person could not say what would become of the 2,500-acre property in the bucolic, oak-studded hills of Santa Barbara County's wine country, 120 miles northwest of Los Angeles. A call to an attorney for Jackson, L. Londell McMillan, was not immediately returned Wednesday. Jackson had gone into default on the $24.5 million he owes on the property and had faced foreclosure before Colony Capital bailed him out earlier this year by purchasing his loan. Pearson said the deed did not indicate who owns Sycamore. A listing on the California secretary of state's Web site says the company filed with the state in June. It does not identify its owners, but the company has the same Century City address as Colony Capital LLC. Colony Capital is a Los Angeles-based real estate investment company run by billionaire Tom Barrack. It owns several properties in Las Vegas, including the Las Vegas Hilton. The property was called Sycamore Valley Ranch before Jackson bought it in 1988 and began turning it into a miniature amusement park with a zoo, Ferris wheel, roller coaster and other rides. At the height of his popularity, the superstar invited thousands of children to play on the grounds. He renamed the ranch after the mythical land of Peter Pan and set about creating the magical childhood experiences he said his career as a child star had denied him. "It's like stepping into Oz," he once said of Neverland. "Once you come in the gates, the outside world does not exist." Jackson has struggled to pay his debts since his financial empire began to crumble following his arrest in 2003 on charges that he molested a 13-year-old boy at the ranch. He has not been seen in the Los Olivos area since a jury acquitted him of all charges, and recent aerial photos show the ranch falling into disrepair. (more...)

Illinois State Rifle Association Executive Director Richard Pearson Issues Open Letter to Nation's Sportsmen Regarding Obama's History in the Illinois Senate CHICAGO, Oct 15, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The following is the text of an open letter to the nation's hunters and sportsmen issued today by Illinois State Rifle Association Executive Director Richard Pearson: Fellow Sportsman, Hello, my name is Rich Pearson and I have been active in the firearm rights movement for over 40 years. For the past 15 years, I have served in the Illinois state capitol as the chief lobbyist for the Illinois State Rifle Association. I lobbied Barack Obama extensively while he was an Illinois State Senator. As a result of that experience, I know Obama's attitudes toward guns and gun owners better than anyone. The truth be told, in all my years in the Capitol I have never met a legislator who harbors more contempt for the law-abiding firearm owner than does Barack Obama. Although Obama claims to be an advocate for the 2nd Amendment, his voting record in the Illinois Senate paints a very different picture. While a state senator, Obama voted for a bill that would ban nearly every hunting rifle, shotgun and target rifle owned by Illinois citizens. That same bill would authorize the state police to raid homes of gun owners to forcibly confiscate banned guns. Obama supported a bill that would shut down law-abiding firearm manufacturers including Springfield Armory, Armalite, Rock River Arms and Les Baer. Obama also voted for a bill that would prohibit law-abiding citizens from purchasing more than one gun per month. Without a doubt, Barack Obama has proven himself to be an enemy of the law abiding firearm owner. At the same time, Obama has proven himself to be a friend to the hardened criminal. While a state senator, Obama voted 4 times against legislation that would allow a homeowner to use a firearm in defense of home and family. Does Barack Obama still sound to you like a "friend" of the law-abiding gun owner? And speaking of friends, you can always tell a person by the company they keep. Obama counts among his friends the Rev. Michael Pfleger - a renegade Chicago priest who has openly called for the murder of gun shop owners and pro-gun legislators. Then there is his buddy Richard Daley, the mayor of Chicago who has declared that if it were up to him, nobody would be allowed to own a gun. And let's not forget Obama's pal George Soros - the guy who has pumped millions of dollars into the UN's international effort to disarm law-abiding citizens. Obama has shown that he is more than willing to use other people's money to fund his campaign to take your guns away from you. While a board member of the leftist Joyce Foundation, Barack Obama wrote checks for tens of millions of dollars to extremist gun control organizations such as the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence and the Violence Policy Center. Does Barack Obama still sound to you like a "friend" of the law-abiding gun owner? By now, I'm sure that many of you have received mailings from an organization called "American Hunters and Shooters Association(AHSA)" talking about what a swell fellow Obama is and how he honors the 2nd Amendment and how you will never have to worry about Obama coming to take your guns. Let me make it perfectly clear - everything the AHSA says about Obama is pure hogwash. The AHSA is headed by a group of left-wing elitists who subscribe to the British view of hunting and shooting. That is, a state of affairs where hunting and shooting are reserved for the wealthy upper-crust who can afford guided hunts on exclusive private reserves. The AHSA is not your friend, never will be. In closing, I'd like to remind you that I'm a guy who has actually gone nose to nose with Obama on gun rights issues. The Obama I know cannot even begin to identify with this nation's outdoor traditions. The Obama I know sees you, the law abiding gun owner, as nothing but a low-class lummox who is easily swayed by the flash of a smile and a ration of rosy rhetoric. The Obama I know is a stony-faced liar who has honed his skill at getting what he wants - so long as people are willing to give it to him. That's the Barack Obama I know. The ISRA is the state's leading advocate of safe, lawful and responsible firearms ownership. Founded in 1903, the ISRA has represented the interests of millions of law-abiding Illinois firearm owners. This press release was posted on PRnewswire. Posted Wed Oct 15 18:44:24 CDT 2008 (more...)

Enough already with the comparisons of Kyle Busch to the late Dale Earnhardt in his youth. That's a reach, made by people who don't know because they weren't there. Busch is slicker, wilier. For a straight down-the-line comparison, you have to go back to the driver who for four years was the best there's ever been in NASCAR. That was Darrell Waltrip, 1979 to 1982. Whereas young Earnhardt was blatantly brutal on the track, young Waltrip was at least as wicked but disguised it with finesse. When Earnhardt wrecked somebody, everybody from the victim to the crowd to the TV audience knew who was to blame. Young Waltrip left his victims talking to themselves, wondering what they -- not he -- did wrong. And that is Kyle Busch. Witness the two most recent Cup races and his two most recent victims, the indomitable duo of last season, Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon. At Daytona on July 5, Gordon was seething at himself for losing the race because he chose to go high, into the outside drafting line, and let Busch by him on the inside. After the race at Chicagoland on July 12, Johnson was seething at himself because he chose to stay low and let Busch beat him on the outside. Flip-flop the scenarios and Busch still wins both races. Had Gordon stayed low, Busch would have gone high, and had Johnson gone high, Busch would have gone low. It didn't matter. Busch was going to win either way. DW laughed out loud in agreement with my scenario on the phone the other day: "Yeah! That's right!" As for Busch in general being more like him than Earnhardt, "I totally agree," Waltrip said by voicemail while we were playing phone tag. "That's why I like the kid. I like his style. He's got style." Young Darrell Waltrip had style. For comparison to Busch, we're not talking ol' DW here. Not the glib Fox color commentator. Not the twilight driver of the 1990s, riding out his career in bad cars for huge salaries. Not Waltrip at any time after the Daytona 500 of 1983, when a near-fatal crash took the edge off his style. He has never admitted that, but afterward he adopted this cautious philosophy: "I want to win as many races as I can, going as slow as I can." We're talking Jaws, as Cale Yarborough dubbed him. We're talking the guy who could get young Earnhardt's goat with such ease and frequency, on and off the track, that Earnhardt was the Intimidated before he grew into the Intimidator. Before that '83 wreck, there had never been anything like Waltrip in NASCAR. And there hasn't been since -- until now. Wild Thing is the second coming of Jaws. Darrell Waltrip was a bad man in 1979, but he faltered late and missed winning the title by 11 points to Richard Petty. "I'd check into a hotel somewhere and they'd say, 'Are you here with the show?'" DW said. "I'd say, 'No, ma'am. I am the show.' "You can either be a part of the show, or you can be the show. And right now, Busch is the show." With seven Cup wins just past the halfway point of the season, Busch has a good chance to break the modern-era record for wins in a season, 13, shared by Richard Petty (1975) and Gordon (1998). "[Busch] defies logic in my mind," Waltrip said. "It's kind of like a golfer, when they tell you to visualize your shot. I think he visualizes the things he's going to do, and he has the ability to do them. "He can do about anything he wants to with that car. I've seen him going down the back straightaway at Daytona, down on the inside, and jump -- I don't mean slide up or anything -- jump from the inside of the track all the way to the outside and never lose momentum. That's when I said he's the only guy I ever saw that could go three-wide by himself. And he can. "Then he went to Atlanta in the truck race and passed four or five guys and he was on the apron. NASCAR got on him, said, 'Don't do that anymore, it's dangerous.' The next time by he passed five guys and he was scrubbing the wall. 'OK, you don't want me on the apron, how 'bout this? I'll go outside. I'll go up against the wall.'" Defying logic. Embarrassing the best by doing what has never been done. That is Wild Thing. That was Jaws. In a single afternoon, Jaws embarrassed the top two drivers in NASCAR of the time, Richard Petty and David Pearson. Afterward, their careers were never the same. It was in the Rebel 400, Darlington, S.C., April 1979. So pressured were Pearson and his then-crack Wood Brothers crew under Waltrip's onslaught that they humiliated themselves in the pits. Pearson drove away with no left-side lug nuts, those two wheels came off, and his car belly flopped on pit road and sat there, lap after lap, like a beached whale. Pearson and the Woods parted company the next week. On the final lap, racing Petty for the win, Waltrip, by doing the impossible, suckered Petty into embarrassing himself. Entering the third turn -- in the old configuration at Darlington -- Waltrip stayed outside, wide open. "If you went into that corner on the outside, you automatically hit the wall," DW recalled. "Richard went in on the bottom so hard, trying to beat me into the corner, that he couldn't help but slide up. I slammed on the brakes, cut it to the bottom of the track and slid by him. So I did two good moves in one corner. I put a crossover move on him and a slide job on him, all at once." Had he visualized those moves beforehand? Ol' DW snickered, even now, and said of Jaws, "I had a plan." Busch has won seven Cup races this season. Jaws won seven that year. Seven, but then it stopped. That's why Waltrip is watching Busch so closely now. "The thing to watch with him is: If you think back to my '79 season, and you were there, I was doing the same thing that he's doing right now. I was winning every week, I was embarrassing the competition, I was harassing them, I was mocking them, I was just being as irritating as I could possibly be. "But remember what happened in '79? I lost the championship because I wouldn't slow down. I went back to Darlington [for the Southern 500 in September] with a 300-point lead. I was leading by a lap over Pearson [substituting for the injured rookie Earnhardt]. I had the race won, and the crew told me to take it easy, and I -- "Drove it into the wall," we chorused on the phone. "I lost 100 points that day. Then we went to Wilkesboro and I was racing with Bobby Allison, and Buddy [Parrott, Waltrip's crew chief] was telling me, 'Let him go ? he'll wreck us.' ? I just kept messing with him. I should have known better, but I didn't, and he wrecked me. And I lost another 100 points there. Then we had an engine failure somewhere, and the next thing you know, Richard Petty is breathing down our neck [in the standings]. And he ends up winning the championship by 11 points. "So that's what I'm watching this season for Busch. He's right where I was in 1979. And I wasn't smart enough to get to the finish. Of course, we didn't have the Chase, either. So when he gets to the last 10 races, is he going to continue to be wild and reckless and crazy -- not reckless; I don't really call him reckless. He just drives aggressively. "But is he going to be able to temper that enough to stay out of trouble enough to win the championship? We know he can win races. But you've got to be careful winning races and winning championships. They don't always go together." All in all, Kyle Busch has a chance -- just a chance, but a chance -- to be the best there's ever been. Take a bow, kid. Nigga say what? Well hell smartblock, Waltrip compared his own self to Kyle Busch. Is he wrong for doing that? (more...)
