Review: Hail, Caesar! blends comedy and suspense with retro style

David Lynch | February 10

Early on in Hail, Caesar!, the latest effort from Joel and Ethan Coen, Josh Brolin’s character Eddie Mannix describes the work being put into the titular film-within-a-film as passionate. “It’s never been told with this kind of distinction and panache,” he says. That’s how it goes with Hail, Caesar!, part period-centric mystery, part love letter to not just classic Hollywood, but Hollywood of any era. Eddie Mannix is in charge of keeping order at Capital Pictures Studios, and that’s easier said than done, what with his task of having to deal with incompetent actors, unsatisfied directors and vulture-like journalists. He has even more to juggle when A-list movie star and leading man of his film, Baird Whitlock, goes missing.

This marked their first ever loss in Logan, Utah.

Column: Czech Republic growing increasingly resistant to immigration, EU

Fin Martinez | February 9

On Feb. 6, the citizens of Prague gathered at the city center to protest refugee immigration and the EU. Various speakers voiced their opinions at the protest, displaying their contempt with the EU and its efforts to assist refugees in finding asylum in Europe. The U.S. State dept. issued a statement warning U.S. citizens that the protests could turn violent. The statement estimated that anywhere from 300 to 1000 supporters would be at the protests, which took place at various locations around the city center. Those at the gathering carried Czech flags as well as anti-EU and anti-muslim materials, with some signs at the protest reading “Thank you Mr. President that defends 80 percent of the citizens. We issue you a green card!” and “I do not want to be a citizen of the euro! I do not eat euro food! I do not live in the euro caliphate! I am Czech and a patriot!”

Albuquerque wrestlers back in business

Robert Maler | February 8

A local wrestling company overcame the odds to make a return to the ring on Saturday. John Gruen, a former UNM student, started Destiny Wrestling Organization with several of his friends in 2006. He said they all loved wrestling and decided to work together to take a chance. “We wanted to bring it back to the glory days when the Civic Center was still around and Rocky Romero, Terry Funk and Dory Funk used to come down from Amarillo and wrestle,” Gruen said.

Column: Bullies make for poor allies

Jyllian Roach | February 8

Facebook friend posted a message on Thursday about Roosh V. and the ill-fated Return of Kings meet-up event. In it, he said that, while the event was canceled, men who had planned to participate were instead going to ”...’pick up’ (read: coerce and rape) women at nearby bars.” I asked the poster, who thinks of himself as an ally for women, for his source on the information, and instead of supplying a link or a name, he became defensive and ultimately he deleted my comments. Later that same day, the U.K. tabloid website Daily Mail published an article with the headline “Not so cool now! Pro-rape pick-up artist pictured in a sweat-stained T-shirt at the door of his mother’s home (where he lives in the BASEMENT!).” The included photo shows the self-identified men’s rights activist speaking to police at his door wearing – gasp – a T-shirt and shorts. No mention was made of how they had determined he lived in his mother’s basement.

Bernalillo County DA's office gives young cancer patients support

David Lynch | February 8

Fighting cancer is a battle afflicted children cannot fight alone, said Julia Grimes, director of Child Life at the UNM Children’s Hospital. Emotional support is an important part of rehabilitation. Which is why staff members of the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s office, as part of the nationwide Jared Box Project, took the time to put together care packages filled with toys for young cancer patients at UNM Hospital. Grimes said it is difficult to articulate the impact made by the goodies given to the children at the hospital, most of whom are long-term patients who range in age from 18 months to 20 years old.

Women's Rights supporters rally at UNM campus

David Lynch | February 6

At least 50 protesters – made up of men, women, young and old – gathered in front of Central Avenue near the UNM Bookstore Saturday evening in opposition to self-proclaimed “neomasculinist” Darush “Roosh V” Valizadeh’s now-cancelled follower meetups, one of which was scheduled to begin at that location. The protest mobilized in a matter of minutes just before 8 p.m., the time during which Valizadeh blogged that his followers should rendezvous for a meeting. Valizadeh wrote on his blog that he hoped these meetings would result in the start of several “tribes” of like-minded followers around the world. He then announced on social media that these meetings – which he dubbed International Meetup Day – were cancelled because he was concerned about the safety of those attending.

Column: The New Day keep on shining

Thomas Romero-Salas | February 5

Less than two years ago, Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E were all toiling away in the midcard for WWE. None of them had any direction and each were seen as wrestlers who would never come close to sniffing the main event scene. It’s hard to believe how much has changed since the trio teamed up to become of WWE’s hottest attractions in The New Day late in 2014. The New Day has become one of WWE’s go to teams in the past year.
