FREDONIA OPERA HOUSE
TO SCREEN “THE TIME
TRAVELER’S WIFE”
T
The romantic drama, “The Time Traveler’s Wife,” is
the next featured film in the Cinema Series at the
1891 Fredonia Opera House. It will be screened on
Sat., Oct. 24, at 8 p.m. andTues., Oct. 27, at 7:30 p.m.
Based on the best-selling book by Audrey Niffenegger about a love that transcends time, “The Time
Traveler’s Wife” stars Rachel McAdams, Eric Bana,
Ron Livingston and Arliss Howard.
Clare (McAdams) has been in love with Henry
(Bana) her entire life. She believes they are destined
to be together, even though she never knows when
they will be separated: Henry is a time traveler -cursed with a rare genetic anomaly that causes him
to live his life on a shifting timeline, skipping back and
forth through his lifespan with no control. Despite
the fact that Henry’s travels force them apart with
no warning, Clare desperately tries to build a life
with her one true love.
James Berardinelli, of ReelViews, calls the film “a solid
retelling of the (novel), and well worth the price of
admission for those who appreciate romantic fantasy.” Peter Howell, in the Toronto Star, calls it “an
affecting allegory of love that persists even when the
lover is gone.” Richard Corliss, of TIME magazine,
notes “For viewers aching for a romantic drama that
leaves them emotionally, honorably exhausted, this
could prove a total immersion in star-crossed love.”
Mick LaSalle, in the San Francisco Chronicle, says “It
takes, as its subjects, the sadness and grandeur of life
and the mystery of time, and it offers a full experience to those who find its wavelength.” Rated PG13 for thematic elements, brief disturbing images,
nudity and sexuality, “The Time Traveler’s Wife” runs
108 minutes.
Tickets for the Opera House Cinema Series are
available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors &
Opera House members) and $5 (students & children) the night of each showing. For more information, call the Opera House box office at 716-6791891. The Cinema Series continues with “The
Informant” on Nov. 7 & 10; and “Capitalism: A Love
Story” on Nov. 21 & 24.
Chautauqua County’s only year-round performing
arts center, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a

ASTRO BOY NEVER TAKES FLIGHT
T
Based on the Japanese comic book from Osamu
Tezuka that began in 1951 — and influenced the
anime genre as we know it today — "Astro Boy"
traces the origin of a young superhero. He began
life as a regular kid named Toby, but after dying in a
freak lab accident, his father brings him back to life

The animated "Astro Boy" is a shiny hodgepodge of

though, it's pretty forgettable.

AP Movie Critic
City, President Stone (Donald Sutherland) is after
him for his Blue Core: a powerful crystalline nugget
that Dr. Tenma implanted in his chest. You see,
there's a Blue Core and a Red Core. The blue one
provides a peaceful, benevolent strength, while the
red one turns you into a ferocious killing machine.
The Dick Cheney-like president wants to control
them both for his ironically named "Peacekeeper," a
burly device intended to dominate Earth: "I've got
an election to win and I need my robot to be a
fighter, not a lover," he says early on.
Yeah, it's not a terribly subtle political metaphor.
And so the obvious inevitably arrives: Astro Boy
must return to his home to fight the ultimate fight
and face his ultimate destiny. He also might run into
his dad again.You never know.
"Astro Boy," a Summit Enter tainment release, is
rated PG for some action and peril, and brief mild
language. Running time: 90 minutes. Two stars out
of four.

HELP FOR KATIE

by Sharon Turano
Post-Journal Reporter
Katie is enduring," he said, adding about
$650 has been raised.
A Lakewood family is asking for the
community's help for a child who will
undergo surgery to correct complications from Prader-Willi Syndrome.
The family is still in need of funding to
help with surgery and lodging costs so
they can be near Katie during the time
of her surgery and traction.
Pr ader-Willi Syndrome is a r are
genetic disorder in which seven
genes are missing from a chromosome. It affects one in every 10,000
to 15,000 newborns and can cause
mild retardation, a shor t stature ,
obesity and small hands and feet.
The spinal curvature is a side-affect of
Prader-Willi Syndrome, necessitating
Katie and her family, who live in Homer,
Alaska, to travel to Por tland, Ore .,
where the surgery will occur on Oct.
27.
Tracie Swanson knows more about
the disease than that, however.
"Without the help of Don's Car Wash
and the local residents who are
patrons of Don's, we wouldn't have
been able to raise the money for the
desperately needed surgery for Katie,"
said Sandy Swanson, the child's grandmother and Lakewood resident. "We
are extremely grateful for the generosity of Don's and the local residents to
help a child, who they may not even
know," she said, adding, "words cannot
express how moved we are."
Her niece, Katie Swanson, 3-year-old
daughter of Christopher Swanson, a
Lakewood native, is "such a special
child," Ms. Swanson said. She said the
"happy-go-lucky" gir l will undergo
spinal sur ger y to str aighten her
spine. Not only is the surgery painful,
but it will require about six weeks of
traction afterward, causing her father
to be away from work during that
time.
Don's Car Wash and Convenience
Store has been raising money for the
family by collecting spare change at
its cash registers.

cause can stop by Don's Car Wash,

Kanye West completely bailed on
the BET Hip-Hop Awards according
to E! News :
“After stealing Taylor Swift’s thunder
at the MTV Video Awards, the
rapper bailed on the Fourth Annual
BET Hip-Hop Awards, giving up his
nine chances to stage yet another
remix-worthy acceptance-speechcrashing moment.”

Although in Kanye’s defense, I’m
sure he was tired from flying to
Norway to explain why he should’ve
won the Nobel Prize for apologizing
to Taylor Swift. “I’mma let Obama
finish, but did you see me say ‘I’m
sorry’ on my blog? I wrote it in ALL
CAPS! Why won’t you let me be
great?!”
Absolute Ice Bar,
Stockholm, Sweden
The Absolut Ice Bar in Stockholm, Sweden
gives new meaning to the phrase “on the
rocks.” Drinks are served in fist-sized hollow
ice cubes, and the barmaid plunks them down
on a bar made of clear ice blocks. The walls and
tables are also built with ice harvested from the
Torne River on the border between Sweden and
Finland, where the Ice Bar’s management has
operated the widely publicized Ice Hotel in
Jukkasjärvi since 1989. (The ice bar and its
frozen furnishings are rebuilt every six months.)
Stockholm’s Ice Bar, which opened in 2002, is
probably the most celebrated alcoholic
attraction in Sweden. It drew 70,000 visitors in
its first year, has been featured on the BBC and
CNN, and has been frequented by such
celebrities as Pierce Brosnan and Sweden’s own
Stellan Skarsgård. The bar’s success prompted
Absolut, the Swedish vodka distiller, to buy
naming rights in late 2003. The rechristened
Absolut Ice Bar is said to be “the first
establishment in Icehotel’s and Absolut’s new
joint global franchising concept,” so who
knows: An Ice Bar might be in your future even
if you live in Freemantle or Phoenix.

Tara, 33, was a bit nervous
shooting, she seemed to ease
into it as the day went on. “She
was a bit insecure about her
body when they first started,”
says an insider. “She looked
great and finally got into the
groove.” Tara had said in the
past that she would never pose
for Playboy, saying, “I know
there are problems with my
stomach. There are bumps on
it, it’s uneven, but it’s not that
bad. My stomach scars are my
battle wounds.”
There’s no way there’s enough
Photoshop in the world for this

just barely.
