In Alissa Nuttings novel Tampa, Celeste Price, a smoldering 26-year-old middle-school teacher in Florida, unrepentantly recounts her elaborate and sociopathically determined seduction of a 14-year-old student. Celeste has chosen and lured the charmingly modest Jack Patrick into her web. Jack is enthralled and in awe of his eighth-grade teacher, and, most importantly, willing to accept Celestes terms for a secret relationshipcar rides after dark, rendezvous at Jacks house while his single father works the late shift, and body-slamming erotic encounters in Celestes empty classroom. In slaking her sexual thirst, Celeste Price is remorseless and deviously free of hesitation, a monstress of pure motivation. She deceives everyone, is close to no one, and cares little for anything but her pleasure. Tampa is a sexually explicit, virtuosically satirical, American Psychoesque rendering of a monstrously misplaced but undeterrable desire. Laced with black humor and crackling sexualized prose, Alissa Nuttings Tampa is a grand, seriocomic examination of the want behind student / teacher affairs and a scorching literary debut. |

Lion Trailer: Dev Patel Searches For His Long Lost Family Posted on Friday, August 26th, 2016 by Jack Giroux Producer Harvey Weinstein sees awards potential in Lion, one of the two contenders hes betting on this fall. The other awards hopeful film coming from TWC, in Harvey Weinsteins eyes, is The Founder, based on the life of Ray Kroc. While that biopic is about a man driven by greed, Lion is a more kind-hearted and inspiring tale, about a man (Dev Patel) searching for his family. Starring alongside Patel are Rooney Mara, Nicole Kidman, and (an actor Im always delighted to see) David Wenham. Wenham and Kidman, who co-starred in Australia, play Saroo Brierleys (Patel) adoptive parents. At the age of five, Saroo found himself lost in Calcutta. Unable to find his family, the young boy was then adopted by an Australian couple. 25 years later, he decides to search for his birth parents and brother. Written by Luke Davies (Life), Lion is based on a true story that Saroo first told in his non-fiction novel A Long Way Home. The drama is Garth Davis first feature film, but he also directed five episodes of the acclaimed series Top of the Lake. Davis is already again working with Rooney Mara again on a Mary Magdalene biopic, so its easy to assume the two were happy with their experience on Lion, which looks like a potentially emotional and moving drama. Nicole Kidman has been making some excellent choices lately, too The Family Fang, The Killing of a Sacred Dear, How to Talk to Girls at Parties, Big Little Lies, and Sofia Coppolas The Beguiled so her involvement also inspires some confidence. Heres the synopsis from Tiff: From the production team that brought us The Kings Speech comes Lion: the incredible true story of Saroo Brierley and his 25-year odyssey. Precocious five-year-old Saroo Khan is always up for an adventure. Eager to help his older brother Guddu with any odd job that will provide their family with much-needed money, Saroo follows Guddu everywhere he goes. One night the two boys are separated on a train platform in their native Madhya Pradesh, and Saroo winds up nearly a thousand miles away in Calcutta. Homeless in a strange city where he doesnt speak the language, Saroo gets by on his street smarts until he is taken in by a government orphanage. When an Australian couple adopts him, he is taken to live with them in Hobart, Tasmania. Its not until Saroo leaves that island as a young Australian man that he begins to wonder what became of his first home and the family he so adored. Ingeniously using satellite images from Google Earth, he finds a lead to follow up on. But the search for Saroos past threatens to overwhelm his present, and he finds himself further adrift than he ever imagined possible.Lion opens in theaters November 25th. |

Theres no word from Warner Bros. on if it plans to bring the film stateside at this time. More information can be found on the official website. |
It's a stark image that caught some in Houston's Third Ward off guard: Confederate battle flags waving outside of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's Office. Roughly 20 people showed up on Sunday, some with the red flag and assault rifles, others holding up a "White Lives Matter" banner, in a protest against the NAACP, according to local media reports. "We came here because the NAACP headquarters is here and that's one of the most racist groups in America," Scott Lacy, a White Lives Matter member, told KPRC-TV. The prime examples they cited were the NAACP's response to Black Lives Matter protests, protester Ken Reed told the Houston Chronicle. He said Black Lives Matter and other organizations have resulted in the "attack and killing of police officers, the burning down of cities and things of that nature." White Lives Matter has formed as a directed response to the Black Lives Matter movement, a civil rights campaign stemming from 2012 that advocates against anti-black racism and is known for its involvement in protests against police killings of black men across the country. Some counter-protesters, using the phrase "White Lives Matter," argue that the Black Lives Matter movement is anti-white |
