THIS GIANT PAPIER MACHE BOULDER IS ACTUALLY REALLY HEAVY. White Sox add Joakim Soria, Luis Avilan in three-team trade with Dodgers, Royals CBSSports.com The Dodgers, Royals, and White Sox have pulled off a three-way trade. Change It wasn't, funny, nor was it coined on, but we thought told a real story about how our users defined 2010. Unlike in 2008, change was no longer a campaign slogan. But, the term still held a lot of weight. Here's an excerpt from our: The national debate can arguably be summarized by the question: In the past two years, has there been enough change? Has there been too much? Meanwhile, many Americans continue to face change in their homes, bank accounts and jobs. Only time will tell if the latest wave of change Americans voted for in the midterm elections will result in a negative or positive outcome. Privacy We got serious in 2013. Was on everyone's mind that year, from Edward Snowden's reveal of Project PRISM to the arrival of Google Glass. Here's an excerpt from our: Many of us have embraced social media, choosing to volunteer intimate particulars and personal photographs on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram; this robust participation echoes an observation by Mark Zuckerberg in 2010 that the public’s comfort level with sharing personal information online is a “social norm” that has “evolved over time.” Even so, a recent survey by Harris Poll shows that young people are now monitoring and changing their privacy settings more than ever, a development that USA Today dubbed the “Edward Snowden effect.”. Complicit The word sprung up in conversations in 2017 about those who spoke out against powerful figures and institutions and about those who stayed silent. It was a year of real awakening to complicity in various sectors of society, from politics to pop culture. From our: Our choice for Word of the Year is as much about what is visible as it is about what is not. It’s a word that reminds us that even inaction is a type of action. The silent acceptance of wrongdoing is how we’ve gotten to this point. We must not let this continue to be the norm. If we do, then we are all complicit. I'm gonna be honest here, it has been a long time since I saw Mimic in it's original cut. That means it will be difficult for me to remember what material existed in which edition. I do remember enjoying the original somewhat, it wasn't the masterpiece we've come to expect from Guillermo del Toro, but it was a solid creature feature if I recall correctly. Anyway, what I came away with after going through this entire disc from soup to nuts isn't what a great film Mimic is, though it is an uncommonly good creature feature, what I came away with is what a marvelous package this is. Del Toro really spent a lot of effort on this Blu-ray of his first Hollywood film, and we are the beneficiaries. I'm going to spend this review adoring this disc in all of its splendor. But first, a word from the back of the case. GUILLERMO DEL TORO (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy) presents MIMIC like you've never seen it before in a visually stunning Director's Cut. Starring Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite), Charles S. Dutton (A Time to Kill) and Josh Brolin (True Grit), MIMIC brings the epic battle between man and nature to life when a team of scientists discover that their experiment in genetic engineering has gone horribly awry. Recut and presented with in-depth special features that take you inside the film, MIMIC: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT restores Guillermo Del Toro's vision for this chilling modern cult classic. Okay, with that out of the way. THIS IS AN AWESOME GODDAMNED BLU-RAY! Mimic: The Director's Cut is the rare combination of quality film and exceptional bonus features that we expect from a high end company like Criterion or Masters of Cinema. You may scoff at the comparison, but I'd throw this package up against Criterion's heavy hitters any day of the week. Let's start at the beginning.
