Running Time: 94 min.

After watching dozens of found footage films, I’ve developed something of a pet peeve with the format. So many entries in this horror subgenre feature characters so deeply flawed (or simply obnoxious) that they come across as grating and annoying. And when you don’t like...

DVD/Blu-ray Roundup for September 11, 2015

Friday, 11 September 2015 06:39 By Glenn Kay For the Sun

Hello once again. It’s time to take a look at what’s new for the week on DVD and Blu-ray. 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!

The Age of Adaline - This romance title involves a woman who has an accident and soon finds that she can no longer age. Nearly 80 years later, she falls for a guy, but struggles with letting him in on her secret. Reviewers were split on the movie. Some found it to be a sweet concoction that would appeal to those who enjoyed similar titles like The Time Traveller’s Wife. Others called it ridiculous and absurd, wasting a good cast. It stars Blake Lively, Harrison Ford...

This little guy uses an over-the-shoulder approach to his pool shot at the Boys and Girls Club last Friday. Don’t know why they make these tables so tall anyway?

Taco Bell, represented by James Rich (blue shirt) and wife Kimberly (white blouse) present an oversized check to Chief Volunteer Office and Board President Esco Chavez, far left. Helping to hold up the check are Chief Professional Officer Marisa Hutchinson and Jennifer Keir, assistant to Mr. Rich.

The club members are just being social while waiting for the party to start last Friday at the Boys and Girls Club.

The young guy seems to be wondering what that camera is doing pointed at his face. He was there with his mom to help pick up some of the members at the Boys and Girls Club last Friday.

The Boys and Girls Club members were all exited last Friday as Taco Bell presented a check to them for $13, 400 to help with the expenses of operation.

Party cake at the Boys and Girls Club! The money figure is what was presented to the club on behalf of Taco Bell, who held a fundraiser and then matched what was donated.
