The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Dean Dr. Michael Williams and Bergen President Dr. B. Kaye Walter toured the College’s Emil Buehler Trust Aviation Education Center after signing the transfer agreement. Thanks to an agreement signed last week, students from Bergen Community College will be able to transfer their credits to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. Embry-Riddle, which has been recognized for its aeronautical degree programs, will accept at least 64 credits from Bergen, the state’s largest community college. “It’s quite an academic achievement for us to be enter- ing into an agreement of such depth with a college of such renown as Embry-Riddle,” said Dr. William Mul- laney, Bergen’s vice president for academic affairs. Under the terms of the agreement, students who earn an associate of science in professional studies (aviation administration option) or natural sciences (air- craft operations option) from Bergen will transfer into Embry-Riddle’s bachelor of science in aviation business administration (air transportation major) program. After transferring to Embry-Riddle, students will need to com- plete 54 credits in order to earn a bachelor’s degree. Bergen’s aviation courses were launched in 2012, buoyed by the opening of the College’s Emil Buehler Trust Aviation Center, which includes airplane and heli- copter simulators. Grants totaling $2 million from the Emil Buehler Trust funded the creation of the center and the program. Courses include introduction to aeronau- tics and aviation safety. The latest agreement caps a busy fall for Bergen offi- cials, who inked the “BCC-FDU Scholars Program” in luncheon is sponsored by the Volunteer County of Bergen County. Missey will discuss the benefits and rewards for adults who participate in this 10-month learning and lead- ership adventure. The cost for Chamber members is $35 and $50 for non-members. Advance registration for both events is preferred; an additional $5 processing fee will be charged if paid the day of the event. Refreshments will be served.

The project will presumably be funded by $528,000 in additional spending of tax- payer money by the board from the district’s capital improvement account. The Learning Commons project includes work on Ridgewood High School’s 50-year- old library, adding a high-technology stu- dent center with group meeting rooms. Safety session AirMed One, Hackensack University Medical Center’s medevac helicopter, landed at Ridge- wood’s Veteran’s Field to conduct a brief helicopter safety program for Ridgewood’s first responders (police, fire, EMS, and emergency services personnel). The Eurocopter EC135- P2 chopper and its flight crew, ordinarily stationed at the Greenwood Lake Airport base, landed and departed about 30 minutes later. At least two dozen first responders participated in the informational session. (Photo courtesy of Boyd A. Loving.) Ridgewood had hoped to attract state funds to cover about 40 percent of the proj- ect, but earlier this month the New Jersey Department of Education did not approve the project as having a high enough prior- ity. The details of the Learning Commons project were scaled down slightly when the state aid did not come through. The district will seek bids for the project in January and construction will presum- ably start over the summer months when school is not in session. J. KOSTER Page 4 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • December 25, 2013 Business ’Tis the season to make year-end contributions Along with the avalanche of cata- logues and holiday greetings from family and friends, mailboxes are now being inundated with donation requests from charitable organizations. This is the time of year nonprofit organizations ramp up their efforts to raise money before the end of the year. It is also a great time for taxpayers to donate to charity and receive a tax break in return. Regardless of whether you’re donat- ing to your favorite charity or giving to a new organization this year, follow these tips to ensure everyone benefits from the donation: Research first. Only donations to qualified charitable organizations are deductible. If you’re not sure whether an organization is qualified, ask to see its letter from the Internal Revenue Ser- vice. Many organizations post their let- ters on their websites. To search online, use IRS Exempt Organizations Select Check. Churches, synagogues, temples, and mosques are considered de facto charitable organizations and are eligible to receive deductible donations, even if they are not on the list. Guidestar and Charity Navigator also include informa- tion about a charitable organization’s tax exempt status. Get receipts. Cash deductions must be substantiated by a bank record (such as a canceled check or credit card receipt clearly annotated with the name of the charity) or in writing from the organiza- tion. The writing must include the date, the amount, and the organization that received the donation. It’s not neces- sary to submit the receipt as part of a tax return, but be prepared to show it in the event of an audit. Be an itemizer. To claim charitable deductions, they must be itemized on Schedule A of federal form 1040. Do the math. If something is given in exchange for a donation – no matter how big or small – the donation is deduct- ible only for the amount the donation exceeds the value of any goods or ser- vices received. Document. Be sure to keep good records of all donations. If non-cash items are donated, be able to substanti- ate the value of the donation. Know your limits. There are limits on the amount of charitable contribu- tions that can be deducted. The specific limitations can be fairly complicated, so consult a Certified Public Accountant if the donations are more than 20 percent of the adjusted gross income. Keep an eye on the calendar. Dona- tions must be made by the end of the tax year for which the deduction will be claimed. A check dated Dec. 31 that goes in the mail by that day is fine. The same goes for donations charged by year’s end to a credit card – even if the bill won’t be paid until next year. Keep paystubs. If money is taken directly out of a paycheck for charity, keep a paystub, W-2, or other document showing the total amount withheld, along with the pledge card showing the name of the charity. Donate appreciated property. Tax- payers can donate appreciated property instead of cash to a charity, which yields double the bang for the buck because an individual can deduct the property’s fair market value on the date he or she gives the gift and avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation. The deduction of appreciated property is generally limited to 30 percent of adjusted gross income.

Construction begins at Bergen County Veterinary Care Dr. Jill Shiffman has announced the start of construction of her new veteri- nary facility at 120 Hopper Avenue in Waldwick. Initial work will began with the demo- lition of the existing structure. The new 3,500 square foot building will house surgical, radiological, and dental suites and a laboratory for blood work and animal wards for dogs, cats, and exotics. “A lot of time and research has gone into the design of this facility so that it will be one of the premier veterinary hos- pitals servicing the north Jersey area,” Dr. Shiffman said. “We want this build- ing to be warm and inviting to clients and non-threatening to their pets while offer- ing the most advanced animal care in the area.” Shiffman’s goal is to promote the health and happiness of pets by focusing on preventative care, while still offering advanced diagnostics and treatment for the times when they do get sick. “The most important thing for me is to have informed pet owners who can par- ticipate in decision making for their pets’ care,” the doctor said. “We focus on the whole pet: a physical examination and counseling about nutrition and behavior are imperative. Preventative care isn’t just about vaccines anymore.” During the construction period, Dr. Shiffman is available for appointments at the Maywood Veterinary Clinic, 125 Passaic Street in Maywood.

KOSTER Page 6 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • December 25, 2013 How to decide if a pet is right for your home Nearly half of all households in the United States and Canada have a pet. Some- times, a pet can be just what a family needs; other times, families discover their house- holds simply do not make an ideal place for a pet. Pets end up in shelters for a number of reasons -- most through no fault of their own. Moving is the primary reason family pets are relinquished, according to the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy. Other top reasons include the cost of pets, animals given as gifts, lack of time to care for the animal, or an animal that grew larger than expected. One way to avoid this scenario is to accurately assess if a pet is right for the home. Prospective pet owners who carefully analyze the pros and cons of pet owner- ship are more likely to keep their pet for the long haul. Certain animals require more care than others, and knowing about this can prevent the heartache of having to give away a pet. Here are a few questions to answer: What type of pet is being considered? A horse has different needs than a ham- ster. Learning about what each pet requires can narrow down the choices. For example, horse ownership may be out of the ques- tion for apartment dwellers, unless they can afford to rent a stall at a nearby stable. If a landlord does not allow a dog, but accepts a cat, that further narrows the options. Pro- spective pet owners should also consider whether they want a pet that will be affec- tionate, or one that will just be fun to watch and low-maintenance. Why is a pet being considered? Some people get pets for misguided reasons, such as it’s the thing all their friends are doing, or it’s trendy. Others get pets to replace a pet lost to illness or old age, or simply because they desire companionship. Be sure the rea- sons for getting a pet are the right ones: A positive outcome will be more likely. Is the prospective pet owner aware of the associated responsibilities? Getting a pet is not like getting another piece or furniture or the latest gaming system. This will be a new member of the family that will impact all the other members living in the house. They need to be involved in the decision. Depending on the pet, there will need to be daily care, such as providing food, chang- ing litter boxes, taking the pet for walks, and providing affection. If you have a busy schedule that keeps you away from home for much of the day, a higher-maintenance pet, like a dog, may not be the best idea. It won’t be fair to the animal or the people. Perhaps a bird or small companion animal would be a better choice. Is the prospective pet owner finan- cially capable of having a pet? Just like having a child or another dependant, pets cost money. Those who are facing a money crunch may be better off waiting to adopt a pet. Expenses include food, veterinarian visits, gear, cages, and grooming. What is home life like? If a family is especially boisterous, or their house is on the small side, certain pets will automati- cally be eliminated from the discussion. Many animals are skittish around crowds (continued on page 8) December 25, 2013 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • Page 7 Ridgewood Concert by Israeli musicians coming to temple Shmuel Katz Temple Israel and JCC of Ridgewood continues this year’s series of “Winter Music Saturdays” on Jan. 11. Three musi- cians, including Israeli musicians Shmuel Katz, Moran Katz, and pianist Anna Polonsky, will play works by Mozart and Max Bruch.

Before leaving for New York, he studied in Israel with Haim Taub, Ora Shiran, and Yair Kless. He also performed in master classes given by Dorothy DeLay, Josef Gingold, Joseph Silverstein, and Alexan- der Schneider. Polonsky has appeared with the Moscow Virtuosi, the Buffalo Phil- harmonic, the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, the Memphis Symphony, the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, the Saint Luke’s Chamber Ensemble, and many others. She has collaborated with the Guarneri, Orion, and Shanghai Quar- tets, and with such musicians as Mitsuko Uchida, David Shifrin, Richard Goode, Jaime Laredo, Ida and Ani Kavafian, and Arnold Steinhardt. She is regularly invited to perform chamber music at fes- tivals such as Marlboro, Chamber Music Northwest, Seattle, Music@Menlo, Cart- agena (Colombia), and Bard. Polonsky has given concerts in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Vienna Konzer- thaus, Alice Tully Hall, and Carnegie Hall’s Stern, Weill, and Zankel Halls.

Eileen, one of our case workers, writes: At this festive time of year, I think about what Emmanuel Cancer Foun- dation has been able to do for our families who have a child with cancer. I think about Abbie, who we were able to help financially after her house burned down this past year. It brings me joy when I get a call from a mom with six children, including one who is in remission, because she knows that each of them will have some Christmas presents because of Emmanuel Cancer Foundation. Then I think of Evan, who at the age of five-and- a-half, has relapsed with cancer. He, his parents, and three sisters have been forced to move from their rental home because of a leaky roof. Christmas won’t be the same for them with Evan relapsing and going through treatment. Now they have had to move out of their famil- iar surroundings into a smaller rental apartment with- out their dogs. When talking with his mom, she asked if we could locate a smaller kitchen table than the one they currently have for their hopefully temporary home. Then Evan and his siblings would be able to enjoy doing things at the table together. She frequently expresses appreciation for the home visits and holiday gifts her children have received from Emmanuel Cancer Foundation. This helps me see how important ECF is, and how worthwhile the work that I do for them is. ECF is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide a variety of specialized services, at no charge, to any New Jersey family facing the challenges of caring for a child with cancer. We do not raise money for cancer research. We provide direct in-home care to our fami- lies. Many of families do not have the financial or emo- tional support to help them get through a major illness like cancer, so our primary focus is providing families with counseling by a professional case worker, mate- rial goods (such as household items, toys, and monthly grocery deliveries), and emergency financial assistance. These individually tailored services are critical in help- ing families get through the crisis of pediatric cancer. ECF does not receive government funding. We rely on donations from the community, including financial support, in-kind donations, and volunteer time. Call the ECF Northern Regional Center at (201) 612-8118 or e- mail Laura at laura@emmanuelcancer.org to see how you can help. • We need volunteers who can deliver groceries to families in Bergen and Essex counties. Spanish-speak- ing drivers are in particularly high demand. • Is your office looking for a community service proj- ect?

Is a pet right for your home? (continued from page 6) and may scatter and hide. They may also act out and bite or scratch if they feel overwhelmed by a lot of people. As for the space in the home, decide if there is enough to fit a pet comfortably. Will the adopted pet be a young animal or an older one? Many people flock to puppies, kittens, and young rabbits. While there are advantages to raising a young animal, an older pet has advantages as well. These include an animal that may have had prior training and housebreaking. Also, their personalities are developed and the full size of the animal is obvious. Older animals are likely past the mischief stage and may be less likely to chew furniture or cause other damage around the house. Taking care of a pet is not a decision to make lightly. Asking important questions will help prospective pet owners to make informed choices.

December 25, 2013 THE VILLADOM TIMES I & II • Page 11 Planning must-haves when hosting a party Hosting a party at home can be a great way to get together with family and friends, but hosting is also a big responsibility that requires lots of pre-party planning and preparation. Part of that preparation involves stock- ing up on must-have items so guests’ needs can easily be met once the party starts. When taking inventory of supplies, it helps to break things down into categories and make a list of items grouped according to categories. This can make a supply shop- ping trip that much easier. Kitchenware Unless you’re hosting a cocktail party, you’re going to need more than just glasses come the big day. How much kitchenware you will need depends on how many guests will be attending, but be sure to have enough plates, utensils, napkins (cloth napkins for more formal affairs), cocktail napkins, serving bowls, and glasses (for wine, water, cocktails, beer, coffee, tea, soda, etc.). Food and beverages You can never have too much water on hand for guests. If you will be serving alco- hol, make sure to have both red and white wine, beer, liquor to prepare mixed drinks or cocktails, and soda. Stock up on ice, too. When buying food, buy enough so no one goes home hungry at the end of the night. Main course leftovers can also be placed in doggie bags and taken home by guests. In addition, be sure to have plenty of snacks on hand in case the main course takes longer to cook than originally anticipated. Stock up on standard fare like chips and pretzels, but have gluten-free snacks and healthier fare like fruits and veggies so guests on special diets won’t go hungry. Furniture Make sure you have enough furniture so no one is left standing for most of the party. Some extra folding chairs might be enough when hosting an indoor affair. The bare essentials No matter the size of your gathering, spills are to be expected. Have some clean- ing supplies, including paper towels, club soda, and household cleaning products, at the ready so spills can be quickly and easily cleaned. Make sure there is plenty of hand soap in the bathroom, and stock up on toilet paper before guests arrive. Page 12 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • December 25, 2013 How to choose a resolution you can keep New Year’s is on the horizon, and many people are making their resolutions for 2014. Even those people who find it difficult to keep their resolutions year after year still tend to make at least one new resolution once the hour of midnight chimes. Though it may seem as though resolu- tions are made to be broken, these pledges can be the first step many people take toward a happier and healthier life, making them more than just a silly annual exercise in empty promises. A common hurdle many people must clear when making a New Year’s resolution is choosing the resolution itself. Resolving to become a millionaire in the next 12 months is likely unrealistic, as is taking on the same resolution you made last year that proved unsuccessful. Before making a New Year’s resolution this year, consider the following tips aimed at helping you choose one with which you are likely to be successful. Make it something you’re likely to enjoy. Resolving to lose weight is perhaps the most popular New Year’s resolu- tion every year. Though there is no way to measure how many people make this resolution and stick with it, it’s safe to assume many people fall short of their weight-loss goal. That is because the steps people must take to lose weight are not always easy to embrace. Many people join a gym in January so they can fully commit to their resolutions to lose weight. But joining a gym isn’t always the answer, as it’s easy to become intimidated at a gym where the major- ity of your fellow members are already in great shape. This doesn’t mean you should shy away from your resolution. Instead, look for ways to make that resolution enjoyable so you’re more likely to stick with it. If you have resolved to lose weight, but a gym is not for you, sign up for a dance class or join a cycling group. There is more than one way to commit to a given resolution, and finding the most enjoy- able way to tackle a resolution is often the easiest way to make it a success. Make it a realistic goal. A resolution should be realistic. If not, the chances of being successful are slim. For exam- ple, resolving to move overseas by the end of the coming calendar year may be a great goal, but if you have no job prospects overseas or too many commitments at home, this goal is not very realistic and you probably won’t make it a successful resolution. However, this doesn’t mean you have to abandon your dream of moving overseas. Instead, resolve to make changes that make your desire to live overseas more realistic. Learn the language of a favorite country or learn about that country’s job market and work toward making yourself more attractive to potential overseas employers. This is a more realistic goal than deciding to move overseas in the very near future, and it sets you up for future success should you resolve to move abroad down the road. Employ the buddy system. Resolutions do not have to be a one-person show. In fact, your resolution may prove easier to keep if you can find someone to go along for the ride. For instance, if you have resolved to quit smoking, find a friend who also smokes and commit to your resolution together. You can lean on each other when times get tough and serve as each other’s watchdog to make sure neither one of you is straying from your goal. If you resolve to learn a foreign language in the year ahead, find a friend to enroll in a class with you. As addi- tional motivation, commit to visiting a foreign country where this language is spoken if both of you have success- fully fulfilled your resolutions. Develop a plan before making any commitments. Before you commit to a resolution, develop a plan as to how you’re going to make that pledge a success and determine if this plan is realistic. For example, if you resolve to lose weight, part of your plan should include an exercise regimen and any dietary changes. Once you have laid out this plan, examine it to see how likely you are to stick with it. If your plan includes waking up at 6 a.m. every morning to work out and you know waking up that early is problematic for you, develop a new plan that is more likely to be successful. The plan should be in place before you make your resolu- tion. If you simply cannot map out a plan that works with your schedule, this resolution might prove difficult to keep and you might want to explore another option. Many people find their New Year’s resolutions have fallen by the wayside by the end of January. However, those who are serious about making a change can take steps to keep those resolutions. December 25, 2013 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • Page 13 Learn the basics of poinsettia plant care Although poinsettias are most often associated with the holiday season, they are actually tropical plants. In spite of their origins, poinsettias can thrive during the holiday season and even last long after the holidays have come and gone. Poinsettias are native to Mexico and Central Amer- ica. Aztecs called the plant cuetlaxochitl. The flower- ing plant was first introduced to the United States by Joel Poinsett, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, and was subsequently renamed the poinsettia. The flowers of the poinsettia are actually the yellow blooms at the middle of the bright red, pink, or white bracts that form on the plant. Perhaps due to the bright red of the bracts, the plant quickly became a popular Christmas plant. It is important to note that poinsettias grow in a warm climate and therefore must be kept in tropical conditions to ensure the plant’s health. Furthermore, poinsettias bloom in response to shortening daylight hours. That means they will need ample darkness each night in order to simulate the dark nights of short, winter days. To achieve this, the plant may have to be put into a dark closet for 12 to 14 hours each night. During the day, the plant should be in a sunny window where it will have access to bright light. The more light the better. Keep the soil evenly moist. Misting the plant will help it retain some humidity. Also, fill the overflow saucer on the flower pot with gravel to allow water seep- ing through the pot to evaporate from the gravel. Hot temperatures indoors combined with high humidity will help the plant to thrive. Even one day without adequate moisture can cause the leaves to drop. Furthermore, decreasing temperatures can cause leaves to fall off. The goal is to keep the indoor temperature consistent. While many poinsettia plants are discarded after the holiday season, these plants can actually be cut back and saved for next season. Trimming back any remaining leaves and continuing to care for the plant by keeping it moist can help. To force the blooms next season, start reducing the plant’s exposure to sunlight in mid-Sep- tember to October. Again, this will mean moving the plant to an area that is shrouded in complete darkness. Even streetlights or indoor lighting can affect bloom- ing. If the plant does not begin to turn color before the holiday season, purchase a new plant and try again next year.

Page 18 THE VILLADOM TIMES I, II, III & IV • December 25, 2013 ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ is personal look at folk scene by Dennis Seuling Joel and Ethan Coen are among the quirkiest of main- stream filmmakers. Their films often hit just the right note of bizarreness to offer richly textured characters and odd- ball plots. They definitely march to their own drummer and have, for years, defied traditional thinking about what a feature film should be. Oscar Isaac and Justin Timberlake in ‘Inside Llewyn Davis.’ Their latest film, “Inside Llewyn Davis,” takes place in 1961 and focuses on the Greenwich Village folk music revival that was at its peak before Bob Dylan shook up tra- ditional folk with a new sound, blending blues, folk, and rock. Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) is thoroughly embedded in that scene. Viewers meet him after a partnership has broken up due to tragedy and he has been forced to go solo. Things are not going well. He has no permanent home, and crashes for days at a time with any kind soul who has an empty couch to offer. His frequent gigs at the Gaslight Café have failed to draw critical attention, his solo album is sell- ing poorly, and he has no coat. On top of all of that, he has impregnated his friend’s wife, Jean (Carey Mulligan), and he is responsible for letting the pet cat of one of his hosts escape. Life looks bleak. Llewyn seems locked into a routine that only offers him disappointment, disillusionment, and stagnation. It is as if life is dragging him into an ever-widening abyss. The Coens are not the types to present a completely depressing film, so it is filled with interesting little epi- sodes, colorful characters, and vignettes that capture an early ‘60s vibe. Folk music was sometimes rooted in man’s struggles, but could also be woefully pretentious. Llewyn is serious about his music, but makes a lot of decisions that stunt his career. When he gets a studio gig as second guitarist accompa- nying friend Jim (Justin Timberlake), it is for “Please, Mr. Kennedy,” a dopey novelty song filled with topical refer- ences. The tune is as far from folk music as one can get, but it has an insistent beat and funny lyrics that make it the kind of song that might become a hit. Llewyn looks on this not as a tremendous opportunity, but as a chance to pick up some quick bucks. Labeling Llewyn as self-destructive may be too easy. He is more complex than that, and it is that complexity that keeps him interesting. One of his biggest problems is connecting with an audi- ence. He does not have boyish good looks or on-stage charm. A fellow who crosses his path, Troy Nelson (Stark Sands), is a marked contrast to Llewyn -- self-effacing, handsome, and talented. Llewyn watches opportunities pass him by as others succeed, failing to look within himself to discover the cause. Isaac, a graduate of New York City’s Juilliard School, performs all his own songs and handles the dramatic scenes effectively, despite a fairly skimpy acting resume. His per- formance incorporates arrogance, anger, frustration, dis- dain, bitterness, and resignation. Often in movies, music is heard in pieces so dialogue can be interspersed to keep the pace brisk. “Inside Llewyn Davis” departs from that convention by allowing full songs to be performed. During these performances, the audience (continued on Crossword page) December 25, 2013 THE VILLADOM TIMES I, II & IV • Page 19 ‘Prisoners’ traces desperate search for missing child by Dennis Seuling “Prisoners” (Warner Home Video) is a gripping movie about the kidnapping and search for two missing children as a happy holiday get-together quickly turns into a nightmare. Friends Keller and Grace Dover (Hugh Jackman, Maria Bello) and Franklin and Nancy Birch (Terrence Howard, Viola Davis) have just enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner together with their families when they discover their two young girls have disappeared. The best clue is a camper that was parked in the vicinity. The police are contacted and Detective Loki (Jake Gyllen- haal) heads the case. Soon afterward, the camper is located and its driver, Alex Jones (Paul Dano), is arrested. Alex, however, appears to be simple- minded and denies any involvement in the girls’ disappearance. There is no evidence in the camper, and nothing solid tying him to the abduction. He is released into the cus- tody of his aunt after 48 hours. Distressed, frustrated with the investi- gation, and knowing that every hour that passes reduces the chance of the safe return of his daughter, Dover decides to take mat- ters into his own hands. Jackman shows an impressive range of emotion as a distraught father refusing to accept assurances and admonitions that the police will do everything possible to see that his daughter will be returned safely. There is desperation, anger, and an unfath- omable sadness in his portrayal. Gyllenhaal’s Detective Loki is the con- necting device among the movie’s many subplots and characters. Dedicated and moved by Dover’s passion, he extends him- self to keep an eye on the chief suspect, Alex, even after he has been released from police custody. The movie contrasts Loki’s lawful, systematic methods with Dover’s unorthodox means to the same end. The mood of the movie is somber, and many scenes were filmed in heavily clouded skies or even in downpours. Roger Deak- ins’ cinematography gives the film a gray palette, which underscores the dark nature of the story. “Prisoners,” rated R for strong scenes of violence, is a solidly scripted picture. The story is captivating, suspenseful, and com- pletely involving. Bonuses on the two-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo pack include a discussion by Jack- Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) is convinced that Alex Jones (Paul Dano) has kidnapped his daughter in ‘Prisoners.’ man and Gyllenhaal about the characters they portray, and a making-of featurette. “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (Paramount) makes its bow on Blu-ray for the first time as an individual release. In this 1981 fea- ture that began a four-feature franchise, Harrison Ford stars as Indiana Jones, a pro- fessor of archaeology and adventurer in the mold of the heroes of movie serials from the ‘30s through the early ‘50s. Jones is in the jungles of South America searching for a golden statue when he springs a lethal trap. He miraculously escapes and later hears from a museum curator about a bibli- cal artifact, the Ark of the Covenant, that holds mystical power. His quest takes him to Nepal and Egypt to find the artifact, but he has to confront his enemy Renee Belloq (Paul Freeman) and a band of Nazis in order to reach it. Director Steven Spiel- berg has blended action, wit, and adventure into this well-paced film. It is an exciting, even exhilarating movie with lots of (continued on Crossword page) Page 20 THE VILLADOM TIMES I, II, III & IV • December 25, 2013 ‘Llewyn Davis’ (continued from Entertainment page) sees that Llewyn has real talent and could be successful were it not for his ability to disrupt his own life and the lives of those with whom he comes in contact. His tragic flaw is his own orneriness. The movie is akin to a day in the life of Llewyn Davis, though the events depicted cover a greater time span. The DVD releases (continued from Restaurant page) amazing action set pieces. Also available as individual Blu-ray titles are “Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom” (1984), “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” (1989), and “Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Crystal Skull” (2008). “Force of Execution” (Anchor Bay) stars Steven Seagal as Mr. Alexander, a mob boss with a military background who takes matters in his own hands when dealing with “business.” A prison hit organized by Alexander goes wrong, and it sets off a war between old rivals that involves a Mexican drug cartel and a former convict turned shop- keeper. The film presents a series of despicable types, many of whom do not make it to the final credits, and action trumps plot in this R-rated noisy saga of honor, vengeance, and mayhem. Seagal is fairly stiff with pretty much one expression: an icy stare that is supposed to intimidate. The supporting cast includes Danny Trejo and Ving Rhames. Bonus features on the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack include a featurette that takes the viewer behind the film’s story, and trailers for other action movies. “Nightmare City” (Raro Video) is an Italian zombie film from director Umberto Lenzi. Hugo Stiglitz stars as Dean Miller, a reporter caught in the midst of zombie hell. When an airplane comes into contact with radiation from a nuclear disaster, it causes the passengers to mutate into scab-faced demons with a compulsion to kill and a thirst Coens present an assortment of characters who interact with Llewyn in different ways, ranging from the vitupera- tive venom pouring from Jean’s mouth to the painfully candid assessment of his singing by record promoter Bud Grossman (F. Murray Abraham) to a rambling tirade by jazz musician Roland Turner (John Goodman). Rated R, “Inside Llewyn Davis” is a character study of a not very enviable person. Isaac manages to have view- ers care about Llewyn as the Coen Brothers magnify his unremarkable life for the cameras, vividly enlivening a 50- year-old era. for the blood of their victims. They virtually burst out of the plane and begin to stab and shoot the military person- nel outside. Miller witnesses this and tries to let the public know about what has happened, but Gen. Murchison (Mel Ferrer) wants the massacre kept under wraps. As the zom- bies move into the city and beyond, it becomes increasingly impossible to halt their grisly advance. The gore is abun- dant and almost non-stop. A scene in an amusement park overrun with zombies is particularly gruesome. The film is reminiscent of those ‘50s horror/sci-fi flicks in which radiation gave rise to an endless parade of monsters. The only bonus on the Blu-ray release is a booklet containing behind-the-scenes production information. “More Than Honey” (Kino Lorber) is a documentary by Swiss filmmaker Marcus Imhoof that explores the fas- cinating world of bees. It profiles small family beekeep- ers and industrialized honey farms. The movie covers the relationship between mankind and honeybees, nature, and the future of mankind. Honeybees illustrate that stability is just as unhealthy as unlimited growth and that crises and disasters are tampering with and triggering evolution. The film takes viewers all across the globe, from Cali- fornia to Switzerland, China, and Australia. Amazingly detailed macro-photography of the bees in flight and in their hives reveals a complex world in crisis. There is a detailed look at the breeding of queen bees, the laboratory process of a bee brain scan, and a hive facing the infection of mites. This was Switzerland’s official selection for the 2013 Best Foreign Film Academy Award. Special Blu-ray features include an interview with Imhoof, deleted scenes, an image gallery, and two making-of featurettes.
